KU Campus Art Walk gives students
something new to spice up a typical
Friday afernoon.
Students are invited to stroll along
the mapped out path while enjoying
free food and drinks. Twelve diferent
locations will feature creative works by
KU students, local and international
artists.
KU Art Walk gives student artists
a chance to showcase their own work.
Rachel Forrest, a junior from Edmond,
Okla., has a 3-by-6 foot wood cut hang-
ing in Watson Library.
Its helpful to keep in mind venues
on campus that are willing to show
artwork. Dont be afraid to ask, For-
rest said. Anywhere with an empty
wall might be willing to show a piece
of art.
Te kickof event will be at Dyche
Halls front lawn with a discussion led
by Professor Ted Johnson at 1:30 p.m.
Once students have completed the Art
Walk, they will reach the culminating
event by 5 p.m. at the Union. Cover
the Jayhawk encourages students to
add their own piece of string in part
of the ceremonial yarn wrapping.
KUs African Drum Ensemble will be
performing during the wrapping, and
there will be a photo booth inside.
Afer the fnal event on campus,
students are encouraged to wander
downtown to Final Fridays. Maps, in-
formations and gallery previews will
be available at the culminating event
on campus.

Looking to color outside the
lines? Look no further. Te Color
Run, an exhilarating explosion
of color cleverly disguised as a 5k
race, is coming to Lawrence.
Te Color Run, a race in which
white-clad runners are thoroughly
covered in bursts of colored chalk
along the course, will take over
Lawrence on Saturday, Oct. 6. Te
event provides a fun, colorful, one-
of-a-kind experience for both run-
ners and teams. Whether looking
to improve a personal 5k time or
simply wanting to have a good time
on a Saturday afernoon, the Hap-
piest 5k on the Planet should not
be missed.
Travis Snyder, creator and now
executive director of Te Color
Run, is a die-hard runner who was
looking to add a little fun to the av-
erage 5k all while giving back to the
community.
He was inspired by a few dif-
ferent things, but the idea has been
in the works for a few years, said
Jackson Cozzens, Te Color Runs
media coordinator. Travis was
a triathlete and avid runner. He
began creating his own running
events 10 years ago. In an efort to
create a non-threatening running
environment where professional
and novice runners could come to-
gether and enjoy the purity of the
sport, Te Color Run was born.
Te Color Run not only pro-
motes a healthy and fun way to be
active but also benefts a local char-
ity or organization in each city.
We love integrating ourselves
into each community, Snyder said.
Finding a great local charity that
is highly involved in benefting
their community is very important.
Rather than pick a national charity,
which would be much easier, we
chose a diverse group of charities.
We have worked with everything
from food banks to youth groups
to childrens hospitals.
Lawrences Color Run will ben-
eft Bill Self s charity, the Assists
Foundation. Te foundation works
with other community organiza-
tions to provide Lawrences youth
with access to better lives. Te
Color Run only boasts two rules:
runners must wear white and must
be plastered with color at the fnish.
Te color is made of colored food-
grade cornstarch and is completely
safe, biodegradable and washes out
of clothing easily.
Macy Amsden, a sophomore
from Wichita, plans to participate
in Te Color Run with her room-
mate.
Te idea of dressing in all white
and having color thrown at you
sounds like a fun activity, Amsden
said. Its a fun way to color some-
thing up that would otherwise be
boring.
Participants do not need to be
top athletes or dedicated mara-
thoners to take part in Te Color
Run. Te event is open to both se-
rious runners and beginners alike,
and there is no age requirement or
limit for participation.
Fun events are for everyone. For
more serious runners, a fun run can
be more of a break Its a way they
can share their passion with friends
and family, Snyder said. Doing
the Color Run is more about being
social, a little more about the expe-
rience and mostly just about being.
Its a lot less about expectation and
just about fun.
Jackie Ross, a sophomore from
Wichita and a frequent 5k par-
ticipant, is looking forward to this
race more than she usually does for
other runs. I love the fact that the
run isnt timed. Everyone should
be able to participate at their own
pace and be able to enjoy the event
itself, Ross said. I think Te Color
Run will be much more exciting.
And the fun continues beyond
the fnish line.
Its what happens afer the fn-
ish line that people really love.
Color runners exit the fnish line
and enter what we call the Finish
Festival, Cozzens said. Tere is a
big stage with music, dancing and
huge color throws where runners
throw bags of powdered paint into
the air. Te Color Run is worthy of
anyones bucket list.
Floods of people are taking ad-
vantage of the traveling event. Ac-
cording to Cozzens, each run av-
erages nearly 15,000 participants.
In the next year, Te Color Run is
touring more than 50 cities in the
United States, eight in Australia
and two in Brazil.
Te Color Run is the Hap-
piest 5k on the Planet, Cozzens
said. Te reason Te Color Run
has grown so fast is because being
healthy and happy is something ev-
eryone can relate to.

Two years ago, Aley Brown
avoided walking up hills and steps
because it was horrifying. Today,
shes 90 pounds thinner and proudly
strides up stairs, loving the dose of
cardio exercise.
At the age of 18, Brown was
5-foot-6 and 215 pounds. Bad news
from the doctor changed her life that
year. She was diagnosed a pre-dia-
betic with high blood pressure, and
she was at risk for glaucoma.
According to Center for Dis-
ease Control (CDC), 35.7 percent
of Americans are obese. CDC de-
fnes overweight as having a body
mass index between 25 and 29.9,
and obese is a BMI of 30 or greater.
Brown had a BMI more than 30.

I felt awful about myself and I
couldnt believe I let it get that far,
Brown said. I decided to change.
I felt like I had this huge, long life
ahead of me.
Americas obesity rates, along
with health issues, are expected to
dramatically increase over the next
20 years, according to a recent study,
F as in Fat: How Obesity Treatens
Americas Future 2012, a report by
Trust for Americas Health and the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
I am surprised, said Matthew
Jones, a sophomore from Portland,
Ore. I fgured with all the infor-
mation on how to properly diet
and take care of yourself these days,
itd be a lot easier to maintain your
weight.
Kansas obesity rate is expected
to more than double. Currently,
29.6 percent of adults are obese, ac-
cording to the study, and the rate is
projected to reach 62.1 percent by
2030.
You see a lot of people run-
ning and a lot of people bicycling,
but they arent the majority of the
population, said Demetria Obilor,
a senior from Las Vegas. We need
better programs for children, and
more so, we need to educate parents
so that they can reinforce the values
that are being taught in schools.
Obilor also said Kansas has a
somewhat sedentary life style, and
she wasnt shocked about the climb-
ing rates.
Obesity is cause by a number of
factors, including genetic and envi-
ronmental factors, said Ric Steele,
a professor of applied behavioral
science. Te fact that kids are not
getting enough physical activity
everyday contributes to the problem
and the kinds of foods they eat.
Obesity is genetic in Browns
family. Bullying in high school also
contributed to her obesity and low
self esteem.
Girls were absolutely awful to
me, Brown said.
Girls picked on Brown through-
out her childhood. She said she was
a chubby girl but popular, which
made some girls jealous. When she
joined choir, Brown was chosen to
sing a solo. Bullies said she looked
fat in the dress she performed in,
which she had trouble zipping up.
Brown was also cyber bullied in
high school because of her weight.
Someone created a fake Facebook
account and added Brown. Afer
she accepted the unknown request,
the person sent her links to websites
that said things such as how to tell
if you are fat or pregnant.
On a couple of occasions, the
hot guys in school asked her out
on dates or to dances. She rarely
received attention from guys, and
when she realized they were joking,
she was hurt.
I remember coming home from
high school and sitting in front of
my TV, Brown said. I would eat
a whole thing of cookie dough and
just feel bad for myself.
While visiting home for fall break
during her freshman year in college,
Browns little sister asked her to go
the mall.
I made up an excuse to not go to
the mall with her, because I was too
embarrassed that I couldnt ft into
the same clothes from stores that
she wanted to shop in, Brown said.
I couldnt ft into anything from
American Eagle.
Refecting on her embarrassing
experiences helped Brown change
her life. She said it all started with
small changes. Afer receiving the
bad news from the doctor, she start-
ed cutting out the bad relationships
in her life. She also started going to
the gym for 20 minutes a day and
eating healthier foods.
Browns weight loss progressed
and she continued going to the gym
and doing small workouts through-
out her day. Family and friends en-
couraged and supported her new
life style. She kept herself motivated
by Googling weight loss quotes. She
printed them of, cut them up and
stuck them in a jar. Anytime she felt
down about herself, she would pull
a random quote to keep her going.
Today, Brown is 125 pounds and
happier and healthier than ever.
Over the course of two years, she
lost 90 pounds.
As soon as Brown lost weight,
guys started to notice her and start-
ed seriously ask her out. She was
fattered by all the new attention,
but she didnt realize it was nega-
tive attention. She said she made a
couple of bad decisions. Her new
challenge became weeding out the
bad guys.
Girls also started treating her
diferently. Before she lost weight,
skinny girls didnt want to be her
friend. Now, some girls think shes
vain. Skinny girls, who didnt know
her before, want to be her friend.
Its weird, Brown said. I never
get used to seeing myself. It feels
good. I dont have any health prob-
lems anymore.
Browns goal is to become a nu-
tritionist so she can help others ac-
complish weight loss and healthy
life styles. In April, at 140 lbs, Brown
started a blog to motivate other peo-
ple struggling with obesity.
Te frst blog I wrote was so
hard, Brown said. Its emotional
and physical. Its hard being that
open, but Ive had some many
people tell me they go through the
same things but no one ever speaks
up and talks about it. Nobody wants
to talk about their weight because
everyone has weird body-image
phobias.
To view her blog, go to www.
healthyhappylifes.blogspot.com.
Te hardest part was starting,
Brown said.

Tirteen people are bunched
up in the corner of Franks North
Star Tavern, 508 Locust St., lean-
ing in to hear each other over
the background noises of music
and clinking glasses. Tey gather
around a table littered with empty
beer cans, and almost everyone is
thumbing through their copy of
Winters Bone.
Te PBR Book Club met Tues-
day night to discuss the book in
preparation for Daniel Woodrells
visit to Lawrence. Woodrell, a
University alum and the author
of Winters Bone, will be at Te
Commons in Spooner Hall from
2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. today. Film
& media studies professor John
Tibbetts will interview Woodrell
about his writing process, and af-
terward there will be a question-
and-answer session. Tis event is
free and open to the public.
We decided to make that
event specifcally about writing,
so that will be an opportunity for
students who are taking writing
classes to come in and learn about
his process and adapting books
to flm, said Rachel Smalter Hall,
adult programs librarian for the
Lawrence Public Library.
Woodrell will also be inter-
viewed by Brad Allen, director of
the Lawrence Public Library, at
Liberty Hall from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
today. Raven bookstore will be
on site selling copies of Winters
Bone, which attendees can get
signed before or afer the event.
Daniel Woodrell has written
nine books, most of which are set
in the Missouri Ozarks, where he
was born. Woodrell dropped out
of high school at 17 to join the
Marines. Later, he received a BA
from the University and an MFA
from the Iowa Writers Work-
shop.
Two of Woodrells books were
adapted to flms; the movie adap-
tation of Winters Bone was re-
leased June 2010, and was nomi-
nated for four Academy Awards,
including Best Picture.
Winters Bone centers on a
teenage girl living in the Ozarks
who is trying to take care of her
family. When she is faced with
the possibility of losing the fam-
ilys home, Ree Dolly goes on a
search for her absent father, who
manufactures methamphetamine
and put their home up as collat-
eral for bail.
Tanya Spacek, a junior from
Rockford, Ill., is a member of
the PBR Book Club. On Tuesday
night, she joined in conversations
about the books genre, attitude
and key themes.
Most people who think of
white trash think of Jerry Spring-
er, People of Walmart, that kind
of thing, Spacek said. But he
was able to capture the mentality
of these characters and portray
them with strength. Teir ability
to care for themselves is all they
have at this point, and they are
getting things done and surviv-
ing.
Rachel Smalter Hall said the
themes in Winters Bone are
diferent from other books se-
lected for Read Across Lawrence.
Smalter Hall, director of Read
Across Lawrence, said books are
chosen based on their Kansas
tie-ins and their ability to inspire
conversation about important is-
sues of our time. She said Woo-
drells novel has more provoca-
tive themes, and the selection has
gotten more people involved with
the program.
Smalter Hall also said that stu-
dents are more inclined to read
Winters Bone than other books
selected in the past, like Te
Wizard of Oz, In Cold Blood
and To Kill a Mockingbird.
A lot of times those classic
books are books people read as
high school students, she said.
For someone who is decades be-
yond that in their lives, its an op-
portunity to go back and refect,
but for younger readers, they just
read that for an English class a
handful of years ago. Having an
author that isnt as widely read in
the classroom does open that up
for students at KU who might be
interested but dont want to feel
like theyre doing homework.
Read Across Lawrence is a col-
laboration of the Lawrence Pub-
lic Library, the University librar-
ies and Friends of the Lawrence
Public Library. Te libraries give
away 1,000 free copies of the se-
lected book each year and hold
events to launch discussion.
Tere will be two more events
afer Woodrells visit: an all-ages
trivia of Winters Bone Saturday,
Sept. 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at
the Lawrence Public Library, and
a showing of the movie at Liberty
Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

KU Recreation Services began its
Scale Down Challenge, a 10-week
challenge with weekly weigh-ins,
training and community support,
on Sept. 12.
Scale Down Challenge, a program
dedicated to health and wellness, is
now used by the University to in-
crease the use of the campus ftness
center in addition to promoting
healthy lifestyles.
Faculty members and students
entered the weight-loss challenge
for $25, and winners receive cash
prizes.
We wouldnt be able to run a
weight-loss challenge without Scale
Down Challenge, said Amber Long,
assistant director of ftness at Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Te main goal of the Scale Down
Challenge is to promote weight loss
in a healthy and safe manner.
Participants using unhealthy
weight loss practices or who lose
a total of 9 percent or more body
weight during a three-week period
will be disqualifed. Also, if a par-
ticipants body mass index, or BMI,
drops below 18.5, which is consid-
ered underweight, the participant
will be automatically disqualifed
from the challenge.
We do want [the weight loss] to
be healthy, said Jill Urkoski, associ-
ate director of ftness and staf devel-
opment. Te prize is just an incen-
tive to us; its not about the money.
Participants are selected based
on their need to lose weight and be-
come healthy. For instance, if a per-
sons initial BMI is below 20.5, they
will not be allowed to participate.
Participants may only miss a total
of three weigh-ins, and their prog-
ress is also monitored online as well
as their comparison to other partici-
pants.
Tis helps provide participants
motivation and incentive to contin-
ue with the program.
I think that fact that partici-
pants can see where everybody else
is can be helpful for comparisons
sake, but for those folks who are re-
ally competitive, I think thats key,
Long said.
Currently 93 students and 60 fac-
ulty members are participating in
the challenge, showing an increase
in participation from previous chal-
lenges hosted by the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center.
Urkoski said another goal of the
Scale Down Challenge is to attract
individuals who may not have felt
comfortable exercising at the Rec
Center before, emphasizing that the
student recreation center is not just
a place for people who are ft or ath-
letic. Urkoaski said its about seeing
people like yourself working out and
being active.
Its another way for us to identify
with people who were wanting to
come in to our facility but just didnt
feel comfortable; and maybe we can
make them feel comfortable by par-
ticipating in programs and the pos-
sibilities of being active, Urkoski
said.
According to Urkoski, health af-
fects students academics and perfor-
mance, as well as faculty and stafs
ability to engage with students.
Te Scale Down Challenge is a
way to promote healthy living for
everyone at the University and for
students to continue to be healthy
while attending college.
As a member of the faculty and
staf, were here to assist KU students
in getting through college, Urkoski
said. If were not healthy, then may-
be were not as good of instructors or
not as good at trying to mentor.
Te challenge is currently in its
second week, with faculty and staf
members having lost 225 pounds
total and students losing 260 pounds
total.
Weigh-ins for the Scale Down
Challenge are Wednesdays at the
Ambler Student Recreation Fitness
Center from 7:30-9 a.m. for faculty
and staf, and 4:30-6 p.m. for stu-
dents.

CoRRECTIoN
ELMHURST, Ill. What a dif-
ference four years can make.
In 2008, college campuses were
flled with campaign posters and
political rallies and frenzy. Re-
member Obamamania? Tis
year, its difcult to fnd a college
student whos truly excited about
the presidential race.
Politics has gone back to that
thing you dont want to bring up,
says Abraham Mulberry. Hes a
freshman at Elmhurst College in
suburban Chicago whos trying to
start a club for young Democrats.
Last election, his campus had an
active Students for Obama chapter,
organized well before the election.
But this time, theres nary a cam-
paign placard, for either President
Barack Obama or Republican can-
didate Mitt Romney.
I wouldnt say the election is the
No. 1 hot-button issue here, Mul-
berry says, disappointedly.
Granted, you dont see many
signs of campaign enthusiasm in
the neighborhoods that surround
his campus, or elsewhere for that
matter. But its telling that, on many
college campuses across the coun-
try where, in 2008, then-candi-
date Obamas messages of hope
and change easily took hold the
mood is markedly more subdued.
Certainly, some (young people)
have stopped believing, says Molly
Andolina, a political scientist at
DePaul University in Chicago who
tracks young voters. Maybe thats
inevitable. For structural reasons,
its easier to ofer hope and change
as a candidate, than as a president.
Excitement was so high, it really
had nowhere to go but down, she
says. Tis time, theres also no obvi-
ous chance to make history, as there
was when students helped elect the
countrys frst African-American
president.
For young voters, it was like
going to Woodstock in 1968, says
John Della Volpe, the polling direc-
tor at Harvard Universitys Institute
of Politics.
Now like a lot of Americans,
theyre more worried about the
economy and fnding jobs. Voter
ID laws in some states, which ban
or restrict the use of student IDs
at the polls, also are causing con-
fusion on campuses at a time
when students are already weary
and cynical about political bicker-
ing in Washington.
Lots of people thought Presi-
dent Obama could go in and break
gridlock and that didnt happen,
says Ethan Weber, a senior at Mi-
ami University in Ohio, wholl be
graduating in December. Tats
the scariest thing to a lot of young
people that nothing is going to
happen.
In 2008, Weber cast a half-heart-
ed vote for Republican John McCa-
in, certain Obama would win. Tis
time, hes voting for Romney and
sees the election as a toss-up.
He is still in the minority in the
18- to 29-year-old age group, ac-
cording to polls. Young people
are leaning strongly Democratic,
as they traditionally do, and favor
Obama by a wide margin though
some pollsters say the youngest
new voters are showing signs that
they may buck that trend.
An Associated Press poll con-
ducted earlier this month found
that 61 percent of registered voters
in the 18-to-29 bracket support the
president, compared with 30 per-
cent for Romney.

MOSCOW A Russian tycoon
who has fnanced a newspaper crit-
ical of the Kremlin and supported
the opposition has been charged
with hooliganism and assault for
punching a businessman during a
television talk show. He dismissed
the criminal case as politically mo-
tivated.
Russias top investigative agen-
cy, which announced the charges
Wednesday, said the defendant,
Alexander Lebedev, cannot leave
Moscow while the probe is under
way. In Russia, fling charges marks
the start of a criminal investiga-
tion, which may or may not lead to
a trial.
Lebedev said in comments car-
ried by the Interfax news agency
that he considers the charges
against him political and com-
pletely made up.
He could face up to seven years
in prison, if hes convicted on hooli-
ganism charges similar to those that
were fled against three members of
the feminist rock band Pussy Riot.
Tey were sentenced to two years
each last month for performing a
punk prayer against President
Vladimir Putin in Moscows main
cathedral.
Te charges refer to a Septem-
ber 2011 incident when Lebedev
punched property developer Sergei
Polonsky during a TV discussion
of the fnancial crisis, sending him
tumbling to the ground.
Afer the recording, Polonsky
complained he had sustained a
hand injury and that his jeans were
ripped. According to the charges,
however, an expert medical opin-
ion dated Aug. 31 determined that
Polonsky also received bruises to
his hips and face that he did not re-
alize were harmful at the time.
Russias hooliganism statute also
requires proof the accused grossly
violated social norms. Tough
Polonsky began the exchange by
pointing at Lebedev and saying I
just feel like whacking somebody in
the face right now, the charges as-
sert he was not referring to anyone
in particular and that Lebedev was
motivated by political hatred.
A few days afer the incident,
Putin referred to the fght as hoo-
liganism, and a criminal investiga-
tion was launched in October. Pu-
tin has taken an increasingly tough
course against dissent afer massive
protests against his rule last winter,
with searches and interrogation of
opposition activists and the pas-
sage of repressive bills.
Lebedev, whose net worth was
reported by Forbes magazine to
be $1.1 billion, made his money
in the banking industry. He has
fnanced the Novaya Gazeta news-
paper, which is fercely critical of
the Kremlin, and the British papers
the Independent and the Evening
Standard.
Lebedevs son, Yevgeny, who
owns the two British publications,
tweeted that his father is being
targeted by people who dont like
his stance against corruption, and
hate Novaya. He later described
the charges as extraordinarily dis-
proportionate.
My father has been targeted
because of his determination to
fght against corruption and to be a
crusader for democracy in a coun-
try where this has not always been
welcome, Lebedevs son said in a
statement.
ITABORAI, Brazil Strolling
down the main shopping drag in
this working-class Rio de Janeiro
suburb, its not the second-skin
dresses in shocking pink spandex
that catch the eye or even the strap-
less tops with strategically placed
peekaboo paneling.
Te newest look can instead be
found in stores like Silca Evangeli-
cal Fashion, where the hot items
are the demure, long-sleeved
frocks with how-low-can-you-go
hemlines and the polyester putty-
colored potato sack dresses.
In the birthplace of the fo den-
tal or dental foss string bikini,
so-called evangelical fashion has
emerged as a growing segment of
the countrys $52 billion-a-year
textile industry, catering to the con-
servative sartorial needs of Brazils
burgeoning numbers of born-again
Pentecostals.
Once so difcult to procure that
evangelical women tended to make
much of their own clothes them-
selves, the modest garb is now pop-
ping up all over Brazil.
On the tiny high street of Rio
suburb Itaborai, not one but two
evangelical clothing stores compete
to dress the faithful.
M&A Fashion got its start two
decades ago as a conventional
clothing shop, selling the short,
tight styles favored in this tropical
country, but shifed to evangelical
oferings fve years ago. Silca Evan-
gelical Clothing, two doors down,
opened in March.
It used to be that the word evan-
gelical had a tacky connotation,
said M&A manager Marcelo Ba-
tista, who converted from Catholi-
cism a decade ago. But now, were
not afraid to show who we are.
Evangelical women now wear
this clothing proudly, he said, ges-
turing at the racks of ample dresses,
long A-line denim skirts and ribbed
sweaters that in the 100-plus de-
gree heat were enough to make you
sweat just by looking at them.
Introduced in the mid-19th cen-
tury by American missionaries,
Brazils neo-Pentecostal church-
es were long regarded as fringe
groups.
Aggressive proselytizing, par-
ticularly among the poor and
disenfranchised, has produced a
dramatic spike in the communitys
numbers in recent decades and
eaten away at Brazils status as the
worlds largest Catholic country.
In 1980, evangelicals represented
just over 6 percent of the popula-
tion, according to the countrys
IBGE statistics agency.
In the 2010 census, more than 42
million people, or 22 percent of the
countrys 190 million, identifed
themselves as evangelicals. Some
statisticians predict that if current
trends hold, evangelical Christians
could become the majority here by
2030.
With the spiraling numbers have
come increased visibility and polit-
ical and economic strength. Tree
senators and 63 congressional
representatives belong to evangeli-
cal churches, and a candidate with
links to the Universal Church has
a considerable lead in polls ahead
of next months mayoral race in Sao
Paulo, South Americas biggest city.
Te Universal Church also owns
one of Brazils main television net-
works, TV Record.
Still, Brazils evangelicals are far
from a unifed block. Today hosts
of homegrown Pentecostal de-
nominations have their own dress
codes, which range from draconian
to permissive.
Evangelical men are also ex-
pected to dress modestly, in long-
sleeved shirts and slacks that are
more readily available in regular
stores.
CONAKRY, Guinea More
than $2.4 billion of Guineas for-
eign debt is being cancelled in a
major boost for the deeply im-
poverished West African nation
whose mineral riches were looted
over decades of corrupt dictator-
ship, government ofcials said
Wednesday.
Two-thirds of Guineas total
foreign debt is being eliminated
because it has qualifed for the
IMF and World Bank program
for heavily indebted poor coun-
tries, according to a government
statement.
Tis will allow Guinea to free
up substantial resources, said
Ansoumane Camara, an econo-
mist and consultant in Conakry
who said the money could be re-
directed toward improving health
and educational programs.
Guineas fnances were lef in
ruins afer nearly a quarter-cen-
tury of rule by Lansana Conte,
who pillaged state cofers to make
his family fabulously wealthy be-
fore his death in 2008, according
to economists.
In 2010, the country held its
frst democratic election but
the political reforms have not
translated into immediate im-
provements for the lives of most
Guineans, who remain deeply
impoverished. About 75 percent
of the countrys 10 million people
live below the poverty line, ac-
cording to the United Nations.
Fatou Bonte Bangoura, who
sells smoked fsh at a port in
Guineas capital, said Wednes-
days announcement would mean
little for Guineans who are strug-
gling to support their families.
Our children need to eat, they
need to be taken care of, they
need to go to school, she lament-
ed. Guineas debt elimination
wont result in individual families
receiving money. It doesnt feed
me, she says.
ISLAMABAD Te Pakistani
Taliban announced Wednesday
that they were giving a Cabinet
minister amnesty, taking him of
their hit list, because he ofered a
$100,000 bounty for the killing of
an anti-Islam flmmaker.
Separately, a breakaway faction
of the Afghan Taliban announced
its own bounty for those behind
Innocence of Muslims, the flm
that has sparked deadly protests
across the Islamic world. Te
group is ofering almost $500,000
in gold.
Muslims have been angered by
the crude, amateurish flms por-
trayal of the Prophet Muhammad
as a fraud, a womanizer and a
child molester. Dozens of people,
including the U.S. ambassador
to Libya, have died in violence
linked to protests over the movie.
Te main fgure behind the
video, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula,
has put his home up for sale and
gone into hiding since violence
erupted over the 14-minute You-
Tube trailer for Innocence of
Muslims, which also has sparked
debate over freedom of expres-
sion in the U.S. and in Europe.
Some of the most intense pro-
tests have erupted in Pakistan,
where the role of Islam in society
is sacrosanct and anti-American
sentiment runs high. It was in
that atmosphere that Railways
Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour
ofered his $100,000 reward Sat-
urday for anyone who kills Nak-
oula.

T
he 2012 Primetime Em-
mys was headlined by
ABCs hit comedy Mod-
ern Family collecting four awards
on 10 total nominations. While
the show is one of my favorites,
Julie Bowen, who plays Claire, for
Best Supporting Comedy Actress?
Tats just absurd.
Bowen isnt the second funni-
est actress on her own show, (Sofa
Vergara and Ariel Winter are both
funnier), let alone all other com-
edy TV series. Maybe its because
I think Bowen tries way too hard at
her role, or that she makes it pain-
fully obvious when doing so, but
for her to beat out the much more
talented pool of comical actresses
shows me the Emmys havent
changed one bit.
Popularity will reign over talent,
and what frustrates me the most is
that the Emmys expect us to believe
the two terms are synonymous.
Even Jon Stewart, afer receiving
his 10th best variety show award,
had this to say in regards to the Em-
mys foreseeable selections, post-
apocalyptic aliens will fnd my box
of statues in the future and they will
fnd out just how predictable these
[expletive] things can be.
It wasnt all bad, though. As a
huge Eric Stonestreet fan, I enjoyed
seeing him bring home the Best
Supporting Actor award. To play a
famboyant homosexual while be-
ing straight as an arrow is no easy
feat, and Stonestreet nails it episode
afer episode.
Fizbo the Clown appearances
continue to be the most comical as-
pect of Modern Family. And what
the hell was with Modern Family
creator and writer Steven Levitan
afer winning the Directing for a
Comedy Series award? I wouldnt
be here without faith in me. A little
smug for a guy cleaning up the Em-
mys ever since the series premiered,
no?
Either way, Levitan has earned
the right to be brash, especially af-
ter his show won Most Outstanding
Comedy Series, its third in a row, to
fnish out the successful evening for
Modern Family.
While I have beef with the Em-
mys and their repetitive selections
for award-winners, Modern Fam-
ily deserves all the credit in the
world. Id like to see over-achievers
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays
Mitchell, and Ty Burrell, who plays
Phil, get more recognition and
hopefully Bowen has earned her
last Emmy.
Te cast for Modern Family is
undoubtedly stacked, and unlike
the late-season burnouts like Te
Ofce and Scrubs, I see Modern
Family going strong into its later
seasons. My only hope is that the
actors and actresses who deserve to
win supporting awards (Stonestreet
excluded) actually end up winning
them.

T
his week the KU commu-
nity has the opportunity
to make an incredible
impact on the lives of thousands
of people in need of blood transfu-
sions in our community.
Te University of Kansas and the
American Red Cross are hosting
a blood drive all week long, open
to blood donor veterans and frst-
timers alike. Te goal, according to
the Lawrence Journal-World, is 333
pints of bloodroughly equivalent
to 333 successful donations. Tose
donations represent a lifesaving
commodity to hundreds of people.
Tat said, 20,000 students attend
the University, so a serious efort by
the KU community could beneft
patients across the region.
A 2007 University of Minnesota
study estimated that about one third
of the U.S. population is eligible to
donate blood. However, the num-
ber of people who actually choose
to donate is far fewer. Currently,
the Kansas City-based Commu-
nity Blood Center, which provides
seventy area hospitals with 3,600
units of blood each week, describes
its supply as critical; meaning the
supply for hospitals and patients is
stretched thin.
Tis shortage is especially acute
now, afer a summer break with-
out school blood drives to bolster
reserves. Having enough blood
available is absolutely essential for
treating patients. Americas Blood
Centers, an organization encom-
passing many smaller community
programs across the country, re-
ports that one seventh of hospital
patients will require a blood trans-
fusion. Patients undergoing organ
transplants, anemic patients, some
patients undergoing chemother-
apy treatment, premature infants
and patients who have lost blood
because of injuries all need blood
donations and blood donors to sur-
vive.
Compared to the massive ben-
efts that result from giving blood,
the actual process is easy. Afer fll-
ing out medical paperwork, pro-
spective donors meet with staf to
undergo a brief physical exam. If the
donor is eligible, the period where
blood is extracted takes about ten
minutes. Aferwards, donors can
sit, rest, eat snacks and rehydrate.
If youve already given blood this
week, thats phenomenal. If not,
Id strongly recommend consider-
ing it. Te time commitment isnt
signifcant, especially if youll fnd
yourself on campus anyway, and
the Red Cross is dependent on do-
nors like you to supply 40 percent
of blood used in the U.S. You also
certainly dont have to go alone; if
youre nervous or bored, bringing
a friend or two can make donation
process easier and more entertain-
ing. Feeling uncomfortable around
needles or blood is an entirely un-
derstandable concern. If that con-
cern is causing you to hesitate, I can
only say that the vast majority of
people Ive met who work at blood
centers are incredibly competent,
caring and friendly individuals who
make donating as comfortable and
as easy as possible.
I used to give blood regularly, af-
ter a friend and I committed to go
once every other month. Te expe-
rience was a powerful one for me;
at the time, I knew someone receiv-
ing frequent blood transfusions.
My Community Blood Center also
placed the stations to donate blood
adjacent to the ones where patients
received transfusions, so we could
see the benefts of donating as we
gave blood. Although I havent do-
nated since I moved to college, I
miss that feeling of supporting the
health of my community. I certainly
plan to attend the drive this week,
and Im hoping hundreds of my fel-
low students will do the same.

eligible to give, visit redcrossblood.

Dear boys: Your cute factor decreases
big time when you spit onto the sidewalk.
XV is my favorite.
the only reason i wear sunglasses is to
people watch without others knowing.
to every frat boy walking your dog
on campus: congratulations on using
the oldest trick in the book. Were not
impressed.
that scary moment when the steam
whistle wakes you up in the morning.
i have no idea how you made a sorority
with breath that bad.
there are nice girls all around you,
open your eyes.
im running out of family members to
fake their deaths. im going to have to go
to classes soon.
10:30 p.m., tuesday night, no pants,
rockband? Game on!
raisin cookies that look like chocolate
chip cookies are the reason i have trust
issues.
Guys and gals of Ku. if you are great
you will have a better chance of meeting
someone if you go out and stop texting the
FFA about your issues.
Dammit, KJHK, i shouldnt have to tell
you this. Bruce Lee was chinese. Why
would you use him in your ad for your
Japanese music block?
the uDK says Ksu has a bye week
before traveling to isu? Even Ku football
doesnt matter to Ku!
to the person complaining about the
liberal media bias in the FFA, why are you
at one of the most liberal schools in the
nation?
sometimes i just want to listen to
90s music, eat pyramid pizza and talk
about Harry potter. is that such a crime?
Editors Note: You sound like me... Did I
write this?
there is really only two kinds of
homework: due tomorrow and not due
tomorrow.
About the tV article... i knew exactly
which episodes she was referring to. sVu
for life!
Decided im in love with this girl... who
also happens to be my best friend. Help
me editor! Editors Note: Tell her?
My professor just said hes lived
through a dictatorship because hes
married.
Did you just connect liberal media with
Anti-abortion?
i envision the Free For All editor like
the banker for Deal or no Deal. Very
mysterious.
i feel like there are a lot of
unneccessary doors in Wescoe. too much
opening and closing for me.
Keep in mind that you probably wont
fnd your nice girl at the Hawk on a
Wednesday.
im worried that the girls who think
they are nice are still mean, they just
cant see it.
B
illy McCroys most
recent piece about
Romney and Obama
blew me away. Now, I feel that
McCroys goal is to help oth-
ers form an educated opinion
about the presidential can-
didates. However, this most
recent piece was anything but
educated.
First, McCroy (like Rom-
ney) claims that the 47 per-
cent of Americans not paying
an income tax are the same 47
percent of Americans voting
for Obama. Its misleading
and just flat out incorrect.
Secondly, he claims that the
conservative message cham-
pions personal responsibility.
Democrats and Republicans
both champion personal re-
sponsibility; the Democrats
simply support the idea that
the government aids those
whose lives get turned up-
side down instead of letting
them fend for themselves.
And what kind of president
wants people to become be-
holden to the government? If
that were true, Obama would
have lost in 2008. Making that
claim makes McCroy no bet-
ter than the loons that pass as
news anchors and hosts on
Fox News.
Finally, McCroys ex-
ercise on Obamacare; his
claim is hardly true. The fact
is companies with more than
50 employees must pay a
$2,000 penalty per employee
if the company doesnt pro-
vide health care or if any em-
ployees receive health care
subsidies to pay for cover-
age. Health care exchanges
will be created so that small
businesses can pool their re-
sources and purchase cheaper
coverage. Employers would
save on costs by participating
in the exchange.
The United States govern-
ment is not a business. Its not
in existence to maximize rev-
enues and cut costs regard-
less of the consequences. It
exists to serve the people, to
ensure that everyone has the
opportunity to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness
something that the Repub-
lican Party seems to have
forgotten. So, shame on you,
Billy McCroy, not just for us-
ing non-facts and half-truths,
but for knowingly misleading
your readers.

to the
Blood donations vital
for hospital patients
As a general rule, its ofen said
that a U.S. House incumbent must
raise $10,000 a week between the
day they assume ofce and the next
election day, just to be competi-
tive for re-election. Tese days, the
number is likely higher. Senators
must do the same, if not more, for
six years, which requires elected
ofcials to raise money day in and
day out while Congress is in ses-
sion.
Tis requires an extensive
amount of a candidates time. More
importantly, it has serious ethical
implications, because many Con-
gressmen and women ask for mon-
ey from organizations and people
who have pointed opinions on how
he or she should be doing his or her
job.
In an attempt to avert these ethi-
cal dilemmas, Kansas enacted a law
prohibiting the knowing solicita-
tion or acceptance of funds from
anyone other than an individual
between January 1 and the fnal day
of the legislative session (Kansas has
a citizen legislature that only meets
from January through mid-May).
Tis applies to legislators, state of-
fce holders such as the governor,
candidates for any such ofce and
committees set up by political par-
ties for legislative candidates.
Te key prohibition prevents
any such request or receipt of funds
from any registered lobbyist, or a
person paid (employed to a con-
siderable degree) to lobby an elect-
ed ofcial or who spends at least
$100 to lobby (exclusive of personal
travel and subsistence expenses) .
In 2000, former Kansas Rep-
resentative and Senator Kay
OConnor asked the Governmen-
tal Ethics Commission to issue an
advisory opinion clarifying the
extent of the statute. Te Commis-
sion held that if a letter announc-
ing a fundraiser afer the fnal day
of the legislative session were to be
delivered to a lobbyist prior to the
conclusion of the session, the law
would be violated.
Legislators were so worried
about the statute that they also re-
quested an opinion as to whether
a weekly legislative update could
be sent to lobbyists without break-
ing the law. Te Commission ruled
that if the update included links to
the candidates website, the linked
words could not contain words
such as contribute or donate,
which overtly ask for money.
For the frst time last week, how-
ever, the statute was applied even
further to the posting of such ge-
neric information on Facebook.
Republican representative Greg
Smith of Overland Park, a Senate
candidate, and Republican Becky
Nioce of Topeka, a House candi-
date, were fned $100 each for un-
intentionally breaking the law by
posting information about fund-
raisers before June 1, the last day of
this years legislative session.
How? People who liked Smiths
page and were friends of Nioce are
lobbyists. Both vowed to be more
vigilant in the future, though most
would hardly regard their actions
as demonstrating a serious lack of
attention to detail. It is merely the
breaking of new ground.
Its the frst time weve had a
social media question, Carol Wil-
liams, the commissions executive
director, told the Associated Press.
I think with the explosion of social
media, this is something well see
far more.
Meanwhile, Kansans can have
some confdence that the rule of
campaign fnance law is being up-
held especially in limiting the in-
fuence of lobbyists on state politics,
where far less media and fewer citi-
zens are focusing their attention.

Denim. Its something almost
everyone has in their closet.
Perhaps when I say this you are
fondly thinking of your favorite
pair of jeans or maybe a denim
jacket you had as a child. Well,
wake up from that dream of
yours, because nowadays denim
is being explored in to-
tally new and improved
ways.
History graduate stu-
dent Vaughn Scribner
knows exactly what
Im talking about.
Scribner doubled
up his denim for
a fashion for-
ward daytime
look. Pairing his
dark jeans with
a lighter shaded
chambray shirt
on top break up
the fabrics won-
derfully, so he
doesnt look like
one big denim blob.
While his chambray
shirt isnt technically
denim, it still gives
off the jean-on-jean
look. Chambray is
a great way to trick people into
thinking youre wearing a denim
piece on top. Its also a lighter
and more comfortable fabric,
so if you feel denim is too
stiff or rigid, this is a great
replacement.
Scribner described
his ensemble as hav-
ing an American work
wear appeal. I really
like fashion. I teach
a class, and I like to
dress up a little bit
but still be casual. A
more utilitarian shirt
with raw dark sal-
vage jeans and
basic shoes are
in-the-moment and
classic at the same
time, Scribner said.
Huge kudos to this
intelligently dressed
history GTA, as he
is spot-on with his
styling. Perhaps he
should teach a fashion
course as well. Boys,
take notes.
Another fabulous ex-
ample showing off the
hot trend is senior be-
havioral science student
Ayako Sawaguchi. Sawa-
guchi shows us how she
mixes up her denim by pairing
an oversized button up with
leather leggings and black con-
verse sneakers. Ahhhh,
converse: the timeless
sneaker appropriate for
every age, gender and
style.
Leather leggings are
my favorite, and its
a trend that
I see celebri-
ties wearing,
Sawaguchi said.
My shirt is from
England, and I
just put them to-
gether because my
morning practicum
doesnt allow me to wear
short clothing. A practical
and fashionable student.
What more could a pro-
fessor possibly ask for?
Applying denim piec-
es with contrasting tex-
tures is an absolute must
right now. Pair denim with
leather, tweed, corduroy, or me-
tallic pieces to spice up outfits in
a jiff. Every body type can wear
this trend, and closets should be
filled with a range of textures for
the upcoming seasons.
Denim re-emerges
on the fashion scene

Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett
fnd old VHS tapes in thrif stores,
Salvation Armies and garage sales.
Teyve found them in estate sales,
library liquidations and church
rummage sales. Prueher even found
a bag of them lef in a trashcan.
Prueher, a former researcher at the
Late Show with David Letterman
and Pickett, a writer and director,
use these videos for their Found
Footage Festival, a show they pres-
ent across the country, showcasing
their collection of random VHS
tapes. Te 2012 Found Footage
Festival in Lawrence will be on
Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Granada.
Tickets will be $10 and are available
at the door.
Prueher said the idea for the
Found Footage Festival came out of
boredom in a small town.
We started looking at thrif
stores for items that would make us
laugh, he said. We found a lot of
VHS tapes that people had gotten
rid of, and we couldnt believe how
ridiculous they were. We started in-
viting friends over to watch them.
15 years later, we had enough vid-
eos in our collection probably
1,200 at that time to make it into
a show. We took it out of our living
room and put it into a theater. To
our surprise, people really liked it.
Te 2012 show will feature exer-
cise videos like Te Sexy Treadmill
Workout, and clips from a training
video in 1986 on how to care for a
pet ferret.
Pickett said the weirdest video
in the upcoming show is of a man
named Frank Pacholski.
He made two public access vid-
eos in Los Angeles in 1999 where
he dances in Speedos for a room-
ful of confused elderly people, he
said. Ten things get even weirder
when he starts pouring food all
over himself. Its like watching an
awful, gag-inducing dream.
Pickett said students should
check out the show because none
of the videos can be found on the
internet.
People can expect to see a per-
fect blend of weird, gross, hilarious
and awful that they really cant see
anywhere else, he said. But, hon-
estly, if theres one reason to come,
its to see a man dancing in speedos
for elderly people.
Freshman Lesley Taylor from
Wichita is planning on going to
the Found Footage Festival. She
said she wanted to go because it
sounded like a unique idea, and
shes never heard of anything like
it before.
I am expecting to see really inter-
esting and exciting footage, she said.
I dont really know what to expect,
but I know its going to be fun.

lupe Fiasco releases solid new
album, Food and liquor ii
lupe Fiasco has become quite the polar-
izing fgure. on one hand, his dense, thought-
provoking verses have earned him a large fan
base. on the other hand, his brash comments
often cause a social media uproar. after last
years highly disappointing release of lasers
which many believe was a creation of atlan-
tic records and not Fiasco himself the artist
promises fans that is 100 percent him.
like the original Food & liquor album,
Food & liquor ii begins with a spoken poem
previewing content. Fiasco touches all the is-
sues hes known for, painting a bleak image of
todays society. he also links up with longtime
collaborator soundtrakk on strange Fruition.
the production is great in the frst half, with the
exceptions of put Em up and audubon Ball-
room. these songs suffer from bad hooks and
repetitive instrumentals, which bring down the
albums pace as a whole.
after a great beginning, a slow point in the
album was inevitable. this starts at the ninth
track, heart donor. production has always
been Fiascos weak point, and it shows in this
track. this is one of the most dull, single-lay-
ered songs on the album. the next few tracks,
how dare you, Battle scars and Brave
heart suffer from the same mediocrity. Fiasco
made a huge sequencing mistake by placing
three love songs in a row. all these tracks suffer
from annoying hooks and bad production. Even
Fiascos rhymes start to lack in this area; he
sounds careless and boring.
after such a disappointing series of tracks,
the album picks back up at the end. its simi-
lar to the beginning of the album, but some of
the tracks like Cold war and unforgiveable
youth also suffer from lackluster choruses.
however, these dont bring down the tracks too
much as Fiasco returns to his more conscious
brand of hip hop. the album ends with the bril-
liant outro hood now.
throughout the album, Fiasco addresses so-
cial issues in the world, making it a pretty dark
album, but in the outro, he gives the listener
a sign of hope. the track mainly serves as a
celebration of all the things african americans
have done in america. overall, Food & liquor
ii: the Great american rap album is a solid
album. Even when Fiasco is not at his best, hes
still better than most. Ryan Wright

When it comes to police proce-
durals, David Ayer can write a blue
streak.
Afer scripting Training Day
and Dark Blue for other flmmak-
ers, the Illinois native graduated
into directing and continued telling
stories of roguish lawmen in mov-
ies like Harsh Times and Street
Kings. His newest efort is End of
Watch, an urgent, propulsive thrill-
er that also functions as an impas-
sioned tribute to a character who
appears only sparingly in his other
flms: the honest cop.
LAPD Ofcers Brian Taylor (Jake
Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Mi-
chael Pea) are not bad lieutenants
or lethal weapons. Tey dont take
drugs, elicit bribes or compare their
superiority to King Kong. Tey are
courageous working stifs, broth-
ers joined at the badge, tasked with
patrolling the fetid streets of South
Central, where nearly every scene
in the flm was shot.
Te majority of End of Watch
unfolds through the lens of Brians
camera, which hes using to docu-
ment life on the beat for a flm
class. Shaky-cam has been done to
death in the prevailing years since
the Bourne trilogy, but this flm
actually benefts from its kinetic
cinematography, which allows for
greater intimacy with the characters
and an immersive quality that even
the best 3D cant match. Im still in
favor of this technique when it isnt
being used to conceal poorly staged
action or earn a PG-13 rating.
Te plot kicks in afer Brian and
Mike take down a pair of cowboys
brandishing stacks of cash and
gold-plated Kalashnikovs. Teir
investigation ties back to a Mexican
drug cartel looking to move their
human trafcking ring north of the
border. Unwilling to risk their other
operations, the drug lords put out a
bounty on Brian and Mike, leading
to a climactic nighttime shootout
between our boys and a gangland
marauder appropriately named Big
Evil (Maurice Compte).
End of Watch benefts mightily
from its principal cast. Gyllenhaal
and Pea have a tremendous natural
rapport together, one Ayer insisted
they hone in the midst of a grueling
fve-month training regimen. Gyl-
lenhaal continues to impress as one
of the few actors who can provide
a dramatic character with a relat-
able sense of humor. Te chirpy
Anna Kendrick makes the most of
her scenes as Brians fanc Janet,
while newcomer Diamonique gives
an authentically unhinged perfor-
mance as the freakiest member of
Big Evils drive-by crew.
In the end though, the flm ul-
timately belongs to the grossly un-
derrated Pea, who frst came to my
attention in Paul Haggiss Crash
back in 2005. Heres an actor equally
at home in comedy and drama, the
rare performer who elevates nearly
every project hes involved with.
His genial, selfess performance as
Mike is the heart and soul of End
of Watch. Heres hoping this star-
ring role is the frst of many.
Despite having only six feature
flms under his belt, Paul Tomas
Anderson has earned his seat
at the table of cinemas modern
masters.
Like Tarantino and the Coen
Brothers, Andersons best flms
strike a transcendent cord that
lies between form and content,
where dazzling technical art-
istry harmonizes with elemental
storytelling and fery, towering
performances. His masterpiece
Tere Will Be Blood remains
a black-hearted testament to the
toxic pitfalls of faith and ambi-
tion.
His latest, appropriately titled
Te Master, was rumored to be
an allegorical takedown of Scien-
tology founder L. Ron Hubbard,
a rumor that perhaps contrib-
uted to the two-year gap between
the flms announcement and its
production. Te fnal result is
a slyer, subtler beast than one
might imagine: an abstract por-
trait of platonic love between two
profoundly diferent men.
Te flm opens at the close of
World War II, with Navy man
Freddy Quell (Joaquin Phoe-
nix) emptying fuel out of a tor-
pedo to concoct another batch
of his powerful rotgut liquor. An
emotionally disturbed alcoholic
whose bundled ferocity predates
the war, Freddy lurches through
peacetime as a drifer until
providence deposits him aboard
a yacht captained by Lancaster
Dodd (Philip Seymour Hof-
man).
Dodd is the charismatic
founder of a movement known
as the Cause, which teaches that
all humans carry psychic residue
from trauma sustained during
past lives. He quickly identifes
Freddy as a fellow hopelessly
inquisitive man and, afer sam-
pling some of his homemade
hooch, invites him to join his
band of traveling cultists.
Freddy, drawn in by the polish
of Dodds silver tongue, soon be-
comes one of the Causes most ar-
dent followers, acting as an attack
dog against its many critics. His
rabid devotion soon draws the ire
of Dodds wife Peggy (Amy Ad-
ams), who fears the angry young
man and his ability to rouse her
husbands wild side.
Even with its engulfng visu-
als and hauntingly discordant
Jonny Greenwood score, Te
Master would be an empty spec-
tacle if not for the extraordinary
power of its lead performances.
Phoenixs intensity in the role
of Freddy is almost frightening,
his body contorted and shriveled
into a limping, leering huddle of
nerves.
Hofman as Dodd is Freddys
polar opposite, all airtight blus-
ter and mannered grandiosity, at
least until he confronts one of the
Causes dissenters head-on and
the cracks begin to show. Ad-
ams, checking her Enchanted
cuteness at the door, turns in her
fnest performance as the cold-
blooded Peggy, who may be the
guiding light behind the Cause.
An early scene where Dodd
processes Freddy with a series
of increasingly probing ques-
tions is absolutely spellbinding,
like watching two fnely tuned
instruments duel in unison. Os-
car nominations are a certainty
at this point, yet I have a feeling
the flm will endure long afer the
bustle of awards season. Movie
lovers will be bowing to this
Master for years to come.

Dredd 3D a smash despite low expectations
The Master serves two
brilliant performances
LANDoN mcDoNALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
As evidenced by its weak box
office opening, Dredd 3D isnt
the bloody, sci-fi action B-movie we
need right now.
But its exactly the one we
deserve.
Bullets shred through bodies and
explode out the other side, gore flies
everywhere in pristine 3D, and all is
seen through a hyper-saturated filter
in jaw-dropping slow motion. The
villain decimates an entire housing
block and its residents using mini-
guns in an attempt to kill the hero.
People being thrown off a build-
ing and falling 200 stories to their
deaths has a euphoric, twisted sense
of artistry to it.
Visually stunning action sequenc-
es like these are Dredds main
draw, but it also delivers solid acting,
memorable characters, a captivating
vision of a dystopian future world
and a simple yet compelling story.
Hell, theres even a layer of satire and
deadpan wit in there, as well as a
rocking soundtrack. Not too shabby
for a blockbuster most viewers had
written off before its release.
Based on one of Britains lon-
gest running comic strips, the titular
character (Karl Urban) of Dredd is
one of Mega-City Ones top Judges
a law enforcer with the jurisdiction
of judge, jury and executioner in a
land overridden with crime.
On this day hes evaluating if the
psychic rookie Anderson (Olivia
Thirlby) has what it takes to become
a Judge, but a routine call to the
enormous, gang-controlled resi-
dence building Peach Trees quickly
traps them in hostile territory with
no backup and no way out. As gang
leader Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and
her clan of criminals hunt the two
down, Dredd and Anderson have
no option but to shoot their way
through all of them.
Hollywood tried bringing this
character to the big screen before,
with 1995s disastrous Judge Dredd
and Sylvester Stallone bellowing his
way through the role. Thankfully,
this time theyve done Dredd just
right.
Urban never takes his Judge mask
off, obscuring his face from the nose
up for the films entirety. This allows
him to maintain his powerful, badass
mystique throughout, delivering all
his lines with the same gravelly edge
and making the one-liners stick all
the more.
Thirlbys lack of a mask makes
for a refreshing contrast to Dredd,
and her mind-reading powers add
a unique wrinkle to all the violence.
While she proves a strong, tough
heroine over time, Headeys Ma-Ma
is delightfully wicked as the opposi-
tion, exhibiting a malicious control
over her subjects. The grotesque scar
across her face doesnt hurt either.
Its a rare treat when an R-rated,
big, dumb and loud action flick exe-
cutes all its elements with such suc-
cess. So for any action lover, justice
has been served.

COMMENTARY
Trying for a
Sunfower
turnaround
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
BYE WEEK BREAKDOWN
For swimming and diving cap-
tains Alyssa Rudman, Brooke Brull
and Rebecca Swank, their swim-
ming careers began at a young age
during the summer time.
Rudman, a senior from Baldwin
City, began her swimming at the
age of eight with the Lawrence
Aquahawks.
Brull, a senior from Lake Quivira,
and Rebecca Swank, a senior from
Wichita, began swimming at the
ages of five and eight respectively
at their country clubs during the
summers.
Once swimming became a pas-
sion, the three quit other sports to
pursue swimming full time.
I danced and did a flag foot-
ball league during the summer,
Rudman said. But when I was nine
or 10, I started doing swimming
full time.
Brull also competed in several
sports before deciding on swim-
ming.
I did basketball and dancing
growing up, but eventually I had to
just stop them because swimming
takes so much practicing to get
good at it, Brull said,
Swank played soccer and softball
when she was younger but realized
swimming was her sport when she
prepared for her secondary educa-
tion.
Although each of the captains
had opportunities to visit and swim
at other schools, the combination
of the coaching staff, the team and
the proximity to home kept the
girls from leaving their home state.
I took a trip to Utah, South
Carolina, Iowa, KU and San Diego
State, and I actually liked different
things at every school, so it was a
tough decision for me, but in the
end, I really liked the team atmo-
sphere here, Brull said.
For Rudman, it had to do with
her long-time relationship with
head coach Clark Campbell and
assistant coach Jen Fox.
Ive known Clark and Jen since I
was about eighteen, Rudman said,
so I already knew who they were
and that they were good people.
Swank used similar reasoning
for picking Kansas as a place to
spend her college career.
I picked KU because of the
coaching staff and the girls on the
team, who I got to know really
well, which made me really like the
program at KU when I was looking
at other schools, Swank said.
After joining the swimming and
diving team at Kansas, each of the
captains have succeeded in differ-
ent events. Brull currently swims
freestyle, backstroke and individ-
ual medley; Rudman swims back-
stroke; and Swank swims distance
free.
Despite competing in different
events, the captains have set simi-
lar goals for themselves and the
team: to improve on their times
and more importantly to compete
with the top teams in the Big 12
Conference.
Texas is really good, but our
goal this year is to get at least
second place in the conference,
Rudman said.
We have really good freshmen
coming in, so I know we will be
better than last year, Brull said. And
now that Texas A&M and Missouri
are out of our conference, we want to
get second in the conference.

Rebecca Swank, Brooke Brull and Alyssa Rudman will be leading the Kansas swimming and dive team this year.
S
hortly afer Charlie Weis
was hired last December,
he strolled onto the court
at Allen Fieldhouse and asked
the packed house a question:
Were 2-10, Weis said. Te
other school in this state is 10-2.
Why?
It was obvious that Weis had
orders that day not to mention
the school in Columbia as Miz-
zou was getting acquainted with
the SEC at the time and Kansas
was collectively shunning the Ti-
gers, refusing to schedule them
in any sport (for the time be-
ing).
And besides that, it seemed
like a fair question from an East
Coast guy who hadnt spent
much time around here. Kan-
sas State has no advantage over
Kansas in facilities, location
or history. It recruits the same
in-state kids and deals with the
same issues as Kansas; namely a
lack of high school talent in the
state and competing with an-
other BCS conference school in
a state not equipped to support
two BCS conference schools.
Weis probably knew the real
answer to his question, though.
Kansas State was 10-2 because
they found the perfect ft at head
coach over two decades ago in
Bill Snyder, a brilliant football
mind who found a place he loved
and never had any intentions of
testing his coaching merit at a
higher level.
He also has no qualms about
kicking his in-state rival when its
down, as Weis is sure to see next
Saturday afernoon. In Mark
Manginos frst season at Kansas
in 2002, Snyder embarrassed
him to the tune of 64-0. Turner
Gill received the same welcom-
ing gif two years ago, losing in
Lawrence 59-7. In Snyders last
10 victories over Kansas dating
back to 1998, the average score
has been 44-8.
If Snyder smells blood, the
scoreboard operator better be
ready. And if losing to Rice and
Northern Illinois while Snyder
is knocking of the likes of Okla-
homa on the road doesnt con-
stitute smelling blood, I dont
know what does.
It doesnt have to be ugly next
weekend, though. Weis could
realize his starting quarterback
isnt very good and learn to trust
his running game for a full four
quarters. A Kansas kicker could
fnd a map to between the up-
rights. Snyder, for the frst time
in his career, could feel sorry for
the Jayhawks as he starts the third
quarter up four touchdowns and
decide to not run up the score.
Dont expect any of those to
happen, however.
My job now that Ive been
hired here is to not just fgure out
why, Weis told the Allen Field-
house crowd that cold afernoon
in December. But do something
about it.
Figuring out the why is easy.
Doing something about it is the
hard part, as Weis is about to
fnd out.
Edited by Stphane Roque
Even with all the bravado Kansas
showed in hiring big names to fix
the football program, the Jayhawks
have won just one game in four
tries this season.
As Charlie Weis & Co. enter a
bye week, there are more questions
than answers and just as much
if not more disappointment in
Jayhawks football than there was
in the Turner Gill era.
Dayne Crist has been anything
but golden. The fifth year transfer
has completed just 48 percent of
his passes while throwing for only
two touchdowns on four intercep-
tions.
Crists numbers would look
much worse if it wasnt for a con-
sistent run game that has scored
seven of the Jayhawks 10 touch-
downs this season.
Weis has used his backfield
about as much as with his quar-
terback 155 rushes on 130 pass
attempts yet with Crist not
able to connect on his passes the
offense has had little balance.
In trying out a less-employed
scheme, Weis found temporary
success with the wildcat formation
numerous times against Northern
Illinois last Saturday with wide
receiver Christian Matthews run-
ning the offense.
Success (it led to two Kansas
touchdowns) was temporary
because it disappeared in the
fourth quarter when the Jayhawks
were desperately trying to put
points on the board.
Wildcat is effective until they
start stretching to the perimeter,
Weis said. Once they start stretch-
ing to the perimeter then you go to
something else. You dont go away
from it because you dont think its
going to keep working.
It forced Kansas back into its
unbalanced offense, which as
it had done all season failed to
sustain successful drives.
With an extra week off, its not
exactly back to the drawing board
for the Kansas coaches, but its no
secret that what was expected to
vindicate the futile Jayhawks has
yet to do so.

O
n Tuesday the Atlanta Braves frst
baseman Freddie Freeman hit a
walk-of home run to help pro-
pel the Braves to the playofs with a 4-3 vic-
tory over the Miami Marlins. Tis years team,
which holds a current record of 89-65, seems
to be much more focused than the 2011 team
that collapsed and lost 18 of its last 26 games
and was eliminated from playof contention.
Te Braves have been overshadowed by the
Washington Nationals for the majority of the
season in the NL East, and rightfully so with
the remarkable season they are having, but
when the playofs arrive I wouldnt sleep on
this years Braves squad too much, and here are
some reasons why:
ElitE starting pitching
Te Braves feature some of the best pitchers
in baseball. Teir two best starters include Tim
Hudson, who holds a 16-6 record with a 3.61
ERA, and Kris Medlen, who has been virtually
unhittable since moving into the starting rota-
tion in late July. Medlen missed practically all
of the 2011 season because of Tommy John sur-
gery and started this year in the bullpen. Once
Medlen felt comfortable he moved into the
starting rotation, where he is now dominating.
In his last 10 starts, Medlen is 8-0 with a 0.76
ERA. Te Braves strategy of letting Medlen get
up to full strength before having him start was
very clever. Tis is the opposite role that the
Nationals took with Stephen Strasburg, who is
now shut down in the post-season afer reach-
ing the maximum 160 innings that Nationals
Manager Davey Johnson set.
BEst BullpEn in MlB
Te Braves have the best trio of bullpen
pitchers in the majors. Tey include Jonny
Venters and Eric OFlaherty, who are both
set-up pitchers (whose job is to come in afer
the starting pitcher, usually in the 7th or 8th
inning) and the leagues best closer in Craig
Kimbrel. A few of Kimbrels jaw-dropping
numbers include the following: 39 saves with a
1.06 ERA, hitters have a miserable .125 average
against him, and he has struck out 49 percent
of the batters hes faced this year. Talk about
dominance. If youre an opposing team trailing
going into the 9th inning, good luck coming
back with Kimbrel on the mound.
thE young guns arE Maturing
Te Braves two elite 23-year-olds, Freeman
and right felder Jayson Heyward have been on
fre since the all-star break. Tey have both im-
proved at the plate partially with their power
numbers. Freeman has hit 22 home runs and
93 RBIs, and Heyward has hit 27 home runs
with 79 RBIs. Heyward has improved drasti-
cally this season at the plate and in the feld to
make up for his disappointing season last year.
If the Braves want to make a deep postseason
run they cant just rely on the pitching and the
veteran players to step up; these two need to
contribute big-time.
thE Bourn idEntity
Te Braves leadof hitter and center felder
Michael Bourn needs to score runs. Its that
plain and simple, if Bourn can get on base by
bunting, taking a walk or getting a base hit,
the Braves will be in a favorable position for
the game. Bourns speed is one of the Braves
greatest strengths, and when he gets on base he
can steal bases and score, as evidenced by his
39 stolen bases so far this year. If Bourn is able
to score to start the game, the Braves have a
great chance to win, especially because of their
dominate pitching. According to ESPN.com,
the Braves are 56-15 this season when Bourn
scores at least one run in a game.
contriButions froM uggla
and Mccann
Teres no debating that Dan Uggla, the
Braves second baseman, has been struggling
all year at the plate. Uggla has a shameful .216
batting average, and has been benched some
in the second half of the season because of his
struggles. Tere is the threat, though, that one
swing by Uggla can shif the momentum of a
game because of his power. Uggla has 19 home
runs and 74 RBIs, and if he is able to get hot
late the Braves are in good position. Te Braves
catcher, Brain McCann, who has battled a
hamstring injury and struggled at the plate all
year, is now healthy and ready to contribute.
McCann has been an All-Star the last six years
and feels that he has to step up his game to the
level it used to be. If these two can stay healthy
and produce, it will give the Braves the depth
they need to make a postseason run.

against Iowa State Wednesday night.
Kansas won the set against Iowa
25-19.
For the second straight week,
the Kansas volleyball team refused
to wilt when pushed to five sets
on its home court.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a
9-1 lead in the decisive fifth set
against No. 19 Iowa State, and
after the Cyclones closed the mar-
gin to 13-9, senior middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree put Kansas on the
cusp of victory with a powerful
kill.
At 13-9, when it got interest-
ing, Tolefree took a huge swing
for us, coach Ray Bechard said.
She only had five kills but that
might have been the biggest of
the match.
An error by Iowa State on the
next point gave Kansas the set
15-9.
The Jayhawks won first two
sets against Iowa State, but then
made just enough errors to let the
Cyclones win sets three and four
by identical 25-23 scores.
Motivated after losing twice to
Iowa State last year, the Jayhawks
won the first set against the
Cyclones 25-19. The Jayhawks
took a 16-11 lead in the second
set, but a 4-0 Iowa State run made
it 16-15, and it looked like the
match might be knotted at one at
intermission.
An 8-0 run by Kansas quick-
ly squashed all of Iowa States
momentum, and Kansas won the
second set 25-16.
Kansas won 62 percent of the
points when Iowa State served,
while keeping Iowa State to 52
percent. Junior outside hitter
Catherine Carmichael said this
helped the Jayhawks go on runs
while not letting the Cyclones get
on a big run of their own.
We always talk about side-
out and how sideout is the key
to everything that were doing,
Carmichael said. And so for us to
even be up that much percent on
them is great. It shows that your
sideout can win you a game.
The match turned in the third
set, when Iowa State used a .302
hitting percentage to take a back
and forth set that featured nine
ties and six lead changes. In the
fourth set, the Cyclones led 22-20
when sophomore outside hitter
Sara McClinton notched one of
her 14 kills to bring the defi-
cit to one. Junior middle blocker
Caroline Jarmoc had an oppor-
tunity to tie the set on the next
play, but her attack into space
went wide. It was all the cushion
Iowa State needed that late in the
set, and they held on for a 25-23
fourth set victory.
I dont think it was really them,
I think it was really us not execut-
ing when we needed to execute,
freshman outside hitter Tiana
Dockery said. They kept playing
their game, but we werent playing
our game in that set.
Last week at home against
Creighton, the Jayhawks led 2-0
before Creighton evened the
match at two. The Jayhawks won
the fifth set against Creighton,
and they were not going to let
another 2-0 lead at home go to
waste.
Theyve had the bad taste
in their mouth twice this year,
with Arkansas and Notre Dame,
Bechard said. And theyve invest-
ed a lot and when you invest a lot
it hurts a little bit more when it
doesnt work out.
Behind consistent serving from
junior libero Brianne Riley, the
Jayhawks went on an 8-0 run in
the fifth set to grab a 9-1 lead.
Bechard said the team got off
to a fast start in the set because
they slowed down and played at
their own pace, instead of trying
to match Iowa States fast-paced
style.
Kansas still led 13-6 when Iowa
State won three straight points to
close the margin to 13-9. Instead
of folding against a ranked
opponent, the Jayhawks went
to their senior leader, Tolefree,
whose emphatic kill gave the
Jayhawks an opportunity for a
match point, which they won on
the next point.
Carmichael had 13 kills for
Kansas, and Dockery, Jarmoc
and McClinton notched 14.
Carmichael said Kansas knew
Iowa State was a physical team
and so the Jayhawks offense
would have to be extra aggressive
on their attacks.
We knew our job, we knew we
had to get up and take swings,
Carmichael said. Just take rips
high, hard and deep, and thats
what we did.
The Jayhawks do not play again
until Oct. 3 when they visit West
Virginia.

Biggest surprises:
1) Turnovers. Raise your hand if
you called Kansas having the sec-
ond-most takeaways in the nation
after four weeks. Defensive coordi-
nator Dave Campo might not get
talked about as much as Charlie
Weis, but he should. Northern
Illinois coach Dave Doeren called
Campo the best secondary coach in
pro and college football he may
not be wrong. The drastic change
in the Jayhawks defense has given
Kansas a chance to win every game
its played with their 13 takeaways
playing a major part.
2) Andrew Turzilli. Its not easy for
a 6-3, 190 pound receiver to hide on
a depth chart, but through the first
two weeks of the season Andrew
Turzilli managed to do so. Turzilli
first snuck into action against TCU
and racked up 100 yards on three
catches. While he only gained 45
yards against Northern Illinois,
Turzilli was targeted nine times,
and with his height advantage he
has become a big play threat. There
is no doubt he will be a big part of
the passing game going forward.

12, but Jayhawks fans were hoping
for better than last place. Former
Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb
completed just over 60 percent of
his passes and Charlie Weis decided
to cut him, while Dayne Crist has
broken 50 percent passing just once
this season.

2. Its clear Crist cant put
together an offense on his own
and having an undersized receiv-
ing corps doesnt help the cause.
Andrew Turzilli has emerged as
a top wide out because of his
tall build, but the more often he
is targeted the sooner hell get
double-teamed.

3. With a minuscule pass-
ing game its going to take a hefty
performance from the running
backs to keep the Jayhawks com-
petitive the rest of the way. Tony
Pierson has proven himself capable
of 15-plus rushes per game, and
with the return of James Sims they
should be able to put up a respect-
able number of points but will it
be enough to win games?
game to keep aN eye oN:
iowa state
Paul Rhoads Cyclones are
sharing the cellar of the Big
12 offensive rankings with the
Jayhawks, meaning their match-
up in Lawrence November 17
might be the best chance Kansas
has to win another game.
Although, at that point in the
season there may not be too
many fans at Memorial Stadium
to witness it.
dowN the road:
If Kansas struggled with its oppo-
nents in non-conference play, it will be
in big trouble facing Big 12 teams the
rest of the season. Playing at Oklahoma
and West Virginia will be the toughest
tests, but with Texas and Oklahoma
State slated to visit Lawrence, the
home schedule is no cinch either.
what we learNed:
Kansas is incapable of passing the
ball. Charlie Weis has been protect-
ing his quarterback by placing the
blame on inadequate receivers, but
whatever the reason, the Jayhawks
cant seem to connect through the
air. Weis has circumvented this by
trying out the Wildcat formation
while he tests out new receivers
but there have been little positive
results.
what were still
woNderiNg:
Will Kansas win another
game? Looking at the rest of
the schedule its become a seri-
ous concern. The Jayhawks will
face five ranked teams in the
second half of the season, and
the unranked teams Iowa
State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma
State are averaging 47 points
a game. Kansas has not scored
more than 31 points this season,
and it came in the season opener
against South Dakota State.

McDougalds
two intercep-
tions, two forced
fumbles, three
pass deflections
and team lead-
ing 34 tackles has
been invaluable to the Jayhawks.
His stat line is proof that sometimes
all you need is the right coaching.
McDougald has already matched his
interception and sack totals from
last season and at this rate will hit
triple digits in tackles by the end of
the season.
offeNsive
mvp: toNy
piersoN
Pierson has
been the most
e l e c t r i f y i ng
player on the
field for the
Jayhawks. Charlie Weis has gotten
more creative with this speedy back
by giving him wheel routes and
screen passes. In return, Pierson
has given Weis 444 total yards
and two touchdowns. Pierson has
become a pro at getting past his
first defender and needs little room
to break into full speed.
Biggest disappoiNtmeNts:
1) Dayne Crist has some Kansas
fans wondering if there are any better
options at quarterback. This comes as a
shock to just about
everyone except
Notre Dame coach
Brian Kelly, who did
have a better option
and benched Crist at
halftime last year in
the Fighting Irishs
season opener. Crist
was as big of a name
as Charlie Weis heading into a new era
of Kansas football, yet he remains the
only quarterback in the Big 12 who
has completed less than 60 percent of
his passes this season. Crist has often
looked flustered in the pocket and ner-
vous under pressure and thats after
facing just one Big 12 defense.
2) Finishing Games. Twice the
Jayhawks held double-digit leads late in
games, and in both match-ups Kansas
failed to come away with a victory. When
Kansas lost to Rice many including
the players and coaches figured it
would be a teaching point on playing
hard until the final whistle. After giving
up a 10-point lead to Northern Illinois
in the fourth quarter its clear nothing
was learned from the costly mistakes
against Rice.

mid-season summary
Big 12 footBall
Kansas 31, South Dakota
State 17
The Jayhawks took a 24-7 lead
into the fourth quarter powered
by the performances of running
backs Tony Pierson and Taylor
Cox. The duo combined to rush
for 245 and three touchdowns.
The Kansas defense intercepted
SDSU quarterback Austin Sumner
four times making up for a 99-yard
touchdown run it allowed in the
first quarter.

Rice 25, Kansas 24
After going up 24 to 16 in the
third quarter the Jayhawks began
relenting and allowed Rice an
opportunity to come back and
steal a win. Kansas ran only six
plays in the fourth quarter, the last
of which was a Dayne Crist inter-
ception. Crists error set up Rice
for a 45-yard game winning field
goal as time expired.

TCU 20, Kansas 6
The Jayhawks defense had
another big game gobbling up
four TCU turnovers. The offense,
however, could not sustain long
enough drives to put points on the
board. Kansas could only muster
two Ron Doherty field goals in the
first half before getting shut out
the last two quarters.

NIU 30, Kansas 23
Kansas built a 10-point lead at
the start of the fourth quarter, but
for the second time eased up too
soon, allowing Northern Illinois
to score 17 points in the last 14:33
of the game. Tyler Patmon had an
interception returned for a touch-
down to give Kansas its 13th take-
away of the season, which ranks
second in the nation.
MANHATTAN, Kan. If any
situation would breed complacency
in an otherwise disciplined team,
this might be it.
No. 7 Kansas State is coming
of a 24-19 victory over then-No.
6 Oklahoma on Saturday, winning
in Norman for the frst time since
1997. It was just the second time
coach Bill Snyder had triumphed
over his former pupil, Bob Stoops,
and represented a rare home loss
for the Sooners.
Now, the Wildcats get a week of
to rest and refect on the victory
if they choose.
Doesnt sound like thats the
case.
We remember what 5-7 felt like,
and its not a good feeling, said
Kansas State quarterback Collin
Klein said. How vivid that mem-
ory is helps from the standpoint of
realizing where weve come from
and what it takes to have come
where we are now and be able to
continue that.
Te Wildcats (4-0) met on Mon-
day, but only planned to practice
Tuesday through Tursday, before
spending Friday in meetings. Tere
will be a workout Saturday morn-
ing, and then Kansas State will turn
its attention to the annual Sunfow-
er Showdown against Kansas.
Te two schools have met three
times since Snyders return from
retirement in 2009, with the Wild-
cats winning all three by a com-
bined 135-38.
So, it makes sense that the bye
week would present a time to per-
haps take a short, mental vacation.
Not for Snyder, and certainly not
for the Wildcats.
Te motivation has to be to
get better, become a better foot-
ball team, become a better player,
Snyder said. Maybe there are other
motivating aspects for each indi-
vidual, youd have to ask them, but
Id like primarily for it to be a better
football team.
Snyder said the bye week will
spent on every aspect imaginable:
correcting shortcomings, prepar-
ing for the Jayhawks, maybe even
squeezing in some flm session
at least for the coaching staf of
teams still to come.
Teres a great deal of pres-
sure on maintaining any success
that you have, linebacker Arthur
Brown said. Coach Snyder, being
as he is, hes defnitely going to keep
our minds where they need to be
in order for us to not to stay settled
within a moment but to continue to
just improve.
One thing thats clear is Kansas
State wont overlook Kansas, which
is also of this week.
Even as Snyder arrived for his
30-minute weekly press conference
on Tuesday, steaming cup of cofee
in hand, he paused to ask a stafer
for play-by-plays from Kansas
games this year.
Te Jayhawks have changed dra-
matically from last season, afer all.
Turner Gill has been fred as the
coach, former Notre Dame coach
and longtime NFL assistant Charlie
Weis has taken over, and an over-
turned roster has resulted in ex-
Fighting Irish quarterback Dayne
Crist running the show.
Kansas still has just one win, but
thats not a reason for Kansas State
to take a break.
Te positive thing is we need
time to continue the improvement,
but by the same token, when you
come of something very good,
you like the momentum you have,
Snyder said. Weve responded in
a variety of diferent ways to open
weeks.
Despite the extra week before
that game, the process of prepa-
ration for Kansas State remains
steady. Players get a few extra days
away to rest, heal and improve dif-
ferent areas, and the coaches can
hit the recruiting trail over the
weekend, but mostly Snyder keeps
the schedule the same.
Consistency, Klein said. He
lives it. He doesnt just preach it.
Perhaps thats one of the reasons
for all of the success the top-
10 national ranking, the Heisman
Trophy candidacy of Klein, the
publicity the Wildcats are receiving
nationally.
It was a very positive thing, but
at the same time, it is just another
step, Klein said of the win over the
Sooners.
Where we stand
JayhaWks sound off
The whole time weve been here
weve been talking about becoming a
tougher team. We have to be tougher
and one way you get tougher is you
keep dialing up those runs and not
be afraid to keep calling them.

after defeating South Dakota State
People are going to know they
played us when we play. How good
we are is going to depend on how
quick we can come together as a
team.
Defensive coordinator Dave
Campo on his goals for the defense

I didnt make enough plays and
at the end of the day, thats the most
valued trait in a quarterback, and it
is to make enough plays to win and
we didnt do that today.

If there is reason to replace the

it, it doesnt make a difference what
position they play. But there is a big

the second guy.

Bye week: #7 Kansas State, #16
Oklahoma, Kansas
#25 Baylor 3-0 (0-0) at #9
West Virginia 3-0 (0-0)
West Virginia and Baylor suc-
cessfully survived its non-confer-
ence schedule. Now, the two unde-
feated teams will put its streaks
on the line as West Virginia plays
its first conference game in the
Big 12.
West Virginia has a cohesive
offense led by senior quarterback
Geno Smith. Smiths success has
come from senior wide receiver
Tavon Austin and junior wide
reciever Stedman Bailey. Each
receiver has more than 20 catches,
more than 300 receiving yards and
five touchdowns in three games.
It is no secret that coach Dana
Holgorsen will continue to use his
passing game as a weapon against
Baylor.
Junior linebacker Ahmad Dixon
and sophomore linebacker Bryce
Hager have played well this sea-
son, but will be tested by the
Mountaineers.
If Baylor wants any shot of win-
ning, senior quarterback Nick
Florence will be the key for the
Bears offense. Like Smith, Florence
has a reliable receiving core. He has
thrown two or more touchdown
passes to at least four different
players in three games. But can that
carry over in Big 12 play?
West Virginias offense will be
too much for Baylor to handle.
By the time this game is over,
the debate for Smith winning the
Heisman Trophy can only grow.
West Virginia wins, 45-28
#12 texas 3-0 (0-0) at okla-
homa state 2-1 (0-0)
Oklahoma State is coming into
the game leading the nation in
scoring offense. It has scored 38
or more points in each of its three
games. But with the defense Texas
has, Oklahoma State will have to
work hard to be able to score a lot
of points.
Texas coach Mack Brown is
pleased with what he is seeing from
sophomore cornerback Quandre
Diggs, who leads the conference
with three interceptions. Oklahoma
State coach Mike Gundy must pick
his poison with the Longhorns
defense. With freshman quarter-
back Wes Lunts knee injury, fresh-
man quarterback J.W. Walsh may
start. If the passing game does not
work, Gundy may try running with
junior Joseph Randle, junior Jeremy
Smith and sophomore Desmond
Roland, all who have four touch-
downs on the ground.
However, the Cowboys will have
a hard time staying up to speed with
the Longhorns. Texas has averaged
almost 50 points per game on the
year and Brown wants the team
to keep that up in conference play.
Sophomore quarterback David Ash
is one of only two quarterbacks in
the conference who have been free
of throwing interceptions this year.
With viable options everywhere on
the field for Ash, Texas will use its
rushing and passing attack.
While Oklahoma States offense
has been hot, it will be time for
Texas to put an end to its run.
Texas wins, 38-17
#15 texas Christian 3-0 (1-0)
at southern methodist 1-2
(0-0)
Texas Christians defense has given
up 4.3 points per game this season.
Its defense should have no problem
stopping Southern Methodist, who
have ran into issues offensively this
season.
Junior quarterback Garrett Gilbert
has 16 touchdowns and 27 intercep-
tions in his career. This year, Gilbert
has thrown for three touchdowns
and four interceptions. TCU coach
Gary Patterson will expect a lot out
of freshman defensive end Devonte
Fields, who has three sacks and one
forced fumble this year. If Fields con-
tinues to apply pressure, that will
give TCU junior defensive backs
Jason Verrett and Elisha Olabode
and senior defensive back Kenny
Cain a shot at adding to their take-
away total of seven.
Junior quarterback Casey Pachall
has moved the football well this sea-
son in the three games the Horned
Frogs have played. He and his offense
wont have any problems putting
points on the scoreboard against the
Mustangs.
Texas Christian wins, 38-3
texas teCh 3-0 (0-0) at ioWa
state 3-0 (0-0)
Iowa State was placed eighth in
the Big 12 preseason polls while
Texas Tech started ninth. It was
expected that the two programs
would remain in the bottom tier
of the conference. However, Both
schools have received consider-
ation to be in the Top 25 after 3-0
starts.
Texas Techs pass catchers have
played at a high level and want to
pursue a strong passing game against
Iowa States defense. Sophomore
tight end Jace Amaro snagged three
touchdown receptions in the last
two games. Wide receivers Darrin
Moore, a senior and Eric Ward,a
junior, have also pulled in three
touchdown catches to help the Red
Raiders start 3-0. The team is sixth
in points scored and sixth in points
allowed, forcing Iowa State coach
Paul Rhoads to come up with a
defensive plan to slow down senior
quarterback Seth Doege.
Iowa State is not far behind Texas
Tech in points allowed as it has given
up 10.7 points per game, ranking it
ninth in the nation. But the Cyclones
will only be as good as senior quar-
terback Steele Jantz. Jantz has been
inconsistent on the season with six
touchdown passes and four inter-
ceptions. If turnovers become an
issue for Iowa State, Texas Tech can
remain undefeated by taking one on
the road to open up its conference
schedule.
Texas Tech wins, 41-24

Defense continues to make strides this year
soccer
soccer
Despite getting hounded by cor-
ners and shot attempts in the fnal
minutes of the game, the Kan-
sas defense held strong and pre-
vailed to ensure a Jayhawk victory
against Oklahoma State last Fri-
day. Te defensive unit for Kansas
stood frm and focused for many
matches this season and hopes to
continue throughout 2012.
Strengthen the defending side
of the pitch was a goal for Kansas
coming into this season. Last year
the Jayhawks gave up 46 goals on
334 shot attempts. Kansas only
had one shutout on the season.
Te team knew it gave up too
many chances and wanted to shut
that down this season. So far the
Jayhawks have managed to do just
that.
Te Jayhawks defense improved
their style of play greatly and re-
turned many of the same players
from last years squad. And with
half the season already battled
through, the statistics refect the
improvement.
So far Kansas has allowed 10
goals on 98 shots. Te team has
only been shut out once but forced
three shutouts of its own by se-
nior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and
sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn
Stroud.
Just staying defensively sound
in the back, I think thats a major
key to it, senior defender Shelby
Williamson said.
With key senior defender Cassie
Dickerson getting injured early in
the season, Kansas was forced to
be fexible and creative with their
lineup in the back. Kansas found
the strength it needed in its rota-
tion of defensive powerhouses.
Senior Shelby Williamson, juniors
Madi Hillis and Shannon Renner,
and sophomore Caroline Van
Slambrouck have all stepped up
and stopped all types of ofensive
threats that opponents have tried
to throw at the Jayhawks this sea-
son.
Most people dont enjoy play-
ing the defensive side of it, Wil-
liamson said. Were the last line
of defense besides Stroud or Kat,
so we have to communicate with
everyone in front of us and keep
everyone organized.
Making their conference play
debut against Oklahoma State,
holding defensively was a key to
winning the match. Te Cow-
girls started of quickly, rushing
the ball at the defense, trying to
create a chance to get at Stroud.
Te Cowgirls favored running
down the lef sideline to try and
create plays, but Van Slambrouck
had other plans.
Van Slambrouck broke up many
plays before they had a chance to
get set up, tackling girls and get-
ting the ball out of play before it
became a threat. Williamson also
ensured the Cowgirls would score
one goal, clearing the balls away
as they came near her and staying
a constant presence on the feld.
Stroud stayed focus and added fve
saves that game, bringing her total
for the season up to eight.
We just want to stay and keep
our momentum forward, Wil-
liamson said.
Defensive stamina paired with
ofensive awareness and well-
placed goals ensured that the Jay-
hawks would come of the pitch
with a victory last weekend, open-
ing up conference play with a win.
Te Jayhawks will need both sides
of the ball to raise their level of
play a notch and to play to their
best ability as they travel on the
road to battle two more teams
from the Big 12 this weekend.

Jayhawks ready for their frst road trip

Afer making a noticeable start
in conference play with a win, the
competition the Jayhawks will face
wont lessen up as they hit the road
for the frst time this season, travel-
ing down to Texas for a two-game
weekend.
Kansas opened up conference
play by hosting the Cowgirls of
Oklahoma State, a team that car-
ried a three-game winning streak
and most recently coming of of a
shutout before facing the Jayhawks.
Kansas broke that streak afer they
gained a 2-1 victory last Friday,
handing Oklahoma State their sec-
ond loss of the season while the
Jayhawks improved their record to
7-2-1.
Cowgirls All-American goalie
Adrianna Franch, who boasts
four shutouts this season, was
not enough to handle the power
brought to the pitch by the Kan-
sas forwards. Freshman forward
Courtney Dickerson scored the
lone goal for the frst half, fnding
the net early in the 4th minute.
Oklahoma State didnt equal-
ize until the second half, but Kan-
sas lef no room for celebration
as senior forward Whitney Berry
scored only a handful of seconds
aferwards. Berry made the most
of the penalty kick set up afer se-
nior teammate Sarah Robbins was
fouled. Tat goal was enough to al-
low Kansas determination to pre-
vail, despite the Cowgirls numer-
ous desperate attempts to batter
the box throughout the remainder
of the match. Kansas starts of with
a winning 1-0 record in conference
play and have no plans of slowing
down this weekend.
It felt amazing, senior Shelby
Williamson said. Probably the
greatest win so far because it was
so exciting.
Kansas will take on a sound Bay-
lor squad this Friday. Te Bears
currently hold a record of 9-1-2,
their only loss coming early in the
season against Long Beach State.
Baylor remains undefeated at
home, running on an eight-game
unbeaten streak.
Strong both ofensively and de-
fensively, along with not being
afraid to play aggressively with 150
fouls already this season, the Bears
will prove to be a good test of Kan-
sas mental and physical skill. Last
season, Kansas fell to the Bears 1-0
afer competing in double over-
time.
We cant allow other teams to
dictate how we play, coach Mark
Francis said. Baylor will close
you down and knock you of your
rhythm, so weve got to focus on
what we want to do and what our
game plan is and not allow other
teams to dictate that for us.
Kansas will need to maximize its
many scoring talents to get past the
brick wall that Baylors goalies have
proved to be. Te Bears have only
allowed fve goals on the season,
half of what Kansas has allowed,
and the Bears have eight shutouts
so far this season. Kansas has had
fve diferent players score this sea-
son and eight players credited for
assists. Te Jayhawks have scored
21 goals so far and have the talent
to keep that number increasing as
the season progresses.
Te Jayhawks will travel to
Fort Worth on Sunday to face the
Horned Frogs of TCU for the frst
time. While Kansas welcomes TCU
into the Big 12, they also plan to
show the Horned Frogs the high
level of competition theyve joined,
as Kansas will be the second con-
ference team the Horned Frogs will
face so far this season. Te Frogs are
5-4-1 on the year, recently losing
on the road to Denver in overtime.
Tey will host West Virginia before
facing the Jayhawks. TCU had a
three-game winning streak going
before succumbing to Denver.
Te Horned Frogs have allowed
eight goals on the season, only scor-
ing 11 themselves. Teyve had four
diferent players score for them,
with junior forward Brittany Sly-
man leading the team with three
goals. Kansas leading scorer, ju-
nior forward/midfelder Caroline
Kastor, has seven. Te Horned Frogs
also have fve shutouts so far a sta-
tistic Kansas hopes stays stagnant
while theyre in town.
Weve just gotta keep doing the
things that weve been doing, but in
the attacking third weve got to be
more precise, Francis said.
Te Jayhawks are confdent that
their talent and unity as a team will
help them prevail this weekend. Te
Jayhawks will face Baylor on Friday
at 7 p.m. before taking on TCU Sun-
day at 1 p.m.
