As a sophomore, Erin Zingr
said she remembers seeing older
students submissions for the Get
Out the Vote initiative and wonder-
ing what she would submit if given
the chance. This year, as a super
senior, she got that chance.
My initial thought was how
about we have a donkey and an ele-
phant on a couch smoking a bowl
of pot with the caption Dont be a
lazy ass? Zingr said. They were
my target demographic, potheads
who dont get out in the booth.
Zingr was right to target apa-
thetic college students with her
work. Less than half of voters ages
18 to 24 say they are definitely vot-
ing in this years election, accord-
ing to a fall 2012 poll released by
Harvard Universitys Institute of
Politics.
Get Out the Vote is a national ini-
tiative sponsored by The American
Institute of Graphic Art (AIGA).
The rules were simple: Create a
nonpartisan poster that motivates
people to vote in the presidential
election on Nov. 6.
There were 50 finalists, includ-
ing other University students Eric
Norton, Jon Duong, Kelsey Allen,
Emily Mullett, Cat Coquillette,
Jing Jian , and Alyssa Bastein. Jian
and Bastein both had two posters
selected.
The posters are currently on dis-
play in an exhibit in New York City
until Nov. 30. Submissions from
Bastein and Mullett were enlarged
to be centerpieces in the exhibit.
I was especially surprised when
I found out how big they were,
Bastein said. Theyre like eight feet
tall, which is huge. So I was sur-
prised and happy and proud of us.
This is AIGAs second year spon-
soring Get Out The Vote, and the
first year AIGA has hosted the
exhibition in New York City.
A group of design students par-
ticipated in Get Out the Vote during
the 2008 election, as well. Professor
Patrick Dooley, who assigned the
project, said it caused students to
think of voting as a privilege.
Dooley said the design students
primarily researched why people
didnt vote.
I think that made them, as a
group, more apt to want to vote,
Dooley said.
For Zingr, that research process
included the comic blog Hyperbole
and a Half. After scrapping her
initial animals-smoking-pot idea,
Zingr chose to create a series of six
posters that used internet memes
and a part of a quote from the
blog. She said her poster appeals to
young people because it is weird.
Ive had several people come
up to me, Zingr said. They
didnt know where it came from or
what it was but they were like, Im
intrigued. What is that weird little
lima bean monster?
Copies of all eight Get Out the
Vote finalists can be viewed online.

The Kansas board of regents approved the request to demolish mccollum hall. The construction is scheduled to begin in janu-
ary 2014, and it will be completed by August 2015.
Changes are underway for
Daisy Hill.
The Kansas Board of Regents
approved the Universitys request
to build two new residence halls
at its meeting Oct. 17. According
to the meeting agenda, the halls
will be built south of Templin Hall
one hall west of Hashinger Hall
and the other west of Lewis Hall.
According to a University news
release, the locations of the new,
five-story halls will create a quad-
rangle with existing halls. Each
hall will hold 350 people.
Construction is expected to
begin in January 2014 and be
completed by the August 2015
move-in date. Once the two halls
are built, McCollum will be razed
and the space will be used for
parking.
I do think we need more park-
ing in that area, but I think its
kind of sad because McCollum
is the oldest, said Maya Porter, a
sophomore from Olathe who lives
in Ellsworth Hall.
Deyu Tian, a senior from Yantai,
China who lived in McCollum for
two years, said he made a lot of
friends in the hall, but he under-
stands the need to demolish it.
Im okay with it, Tian said.
When I lived there, I wish it had
been renovated.
Building the halls, demolishing
McCollum and creating a parking
lot in its space is expected to cost
$47.8 million.
According to the meeting
agenda and the University press
release, the project will be funded
through the sale of bonds issued
by the Kansas Development
Finance Authority.
The bond repayment will come
from a higher housing rate in the
new buildings, the press release
read. It will be paid by students
who choose to live in these new
buildings, not by general tuition
or other means.

A University student was
charged with aggravated battery
and four other charges Thursday
in Douglas County District
Court.
Won Mo Kang, 19, was also
charged with two counts of bat-
tery, criminal restraint and crimi-
nal damage to property.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence
Police Department spokesman,
said the charges stem from an
Oct. 16 incident in which Kang
and an acquaintance allegedly had
several disagreements at various
Lawrence locations, including on
campus.
McKinley said the victim sus-
tained serious injuries, but none
were life-threatening.
District Judge B. Kay
Huff set Kangs bond at
$7,000.
Kang, who has no
criminal history, was
originally arrested on
suspicion of kidnap-
ping. Prosecutors allege
he would not allow
the victim to leave her
home, and Huff ordered
no contact between Kang
and the victim.
He told Huff that school was
part of the reason the altercation
took place.
I really do study hard and that
is what caused the fight on the
16th, Kang said.
Kang said he only planned on
going to school until his next
court date and asked
for leniency in his
bond, which Huff
denied.
I know its bad tim-
ing when youre a stu-
dent, Huff said, but
I need to ensure the
community is safe.
If convicted for
aggravated battery,
the most serious of the
charges, Kang could face up to 34
months in prison.
Kangs next court date is sched-
uled for Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.

POLICE REPORTS
ELECTION
Candidates contend for Hispanic vote
ASSocIAtED PRESS
LAS VEGAS Elizabeth Alvisar
is exactly the sort of voter Mitt Rom-
ney needs.
A victim of the brutal economy
in this swing state, the 30-year-old
tax preparer has been out of work
for months. Shes a foe of abortion
and gay marriage, and was naturally
drawn to the Republican ticket.
But Alvisar has switched her sup-
port to President Barack Obama
because of his support for legisla-
tion known as the DREAM Act.
While Democrats failed to get the
bill through Congress, Obama in
August signed a directive that imple-
mented its key provision allowing
young people brought into the coun-
try without authorization as children
to avoid deportation if they graduate
high school or join the military.
I have a lot of friends whove tak-
en advantage of that opportunity,
Alvisar said.
In the heavily Hispanic neighbor-
hood where Alvisar lives, unem-
ployment is high and home values
are down. But Obamas immigration
stance, and especially his executive
order, has locked in support from
a fast-growing demographic group
that has been trending sharply
Democratic in the wake of increas-
ingly hard-line Republican positions
on immigration.
Obamas campaign is counting
on Hispanics providing the margin
of victory not just in Nevada, but
also in other swing states such as
Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and North
Carolina
Tey know that hes on the right
side of the immigration issue and
wants to work with Congress for
comprehensive immigration re-
form, deputy campaign manager
Stephanie Cutter said. Tey know
he wakes up every day and thinks
about how to secure the middle class
and make it easier for young people
to enter the middle class.
But the Romney campaign says
Hispanics, enduring a 9.9 percent
jobless rate, which is more than 2
points higher than the national aver-
age, are a natural draw for the GOP
ticket.

VATICAN CITY Some
80,000 pilgrims in flowered lei,
feathered headdresses and other
traditional garb flooded St.
Peters Square on Sunday as Pope
Benedict XVI added seven more
saints onto the roster of Catholic
role models in a bid to reinvigo-
rate the faith in parts of the world
where its lagging.
Two of the new saints were
Americans: Kateri Tekakwitha, the
first Native American saint from
the U.S., and Mother Marianne
Cope, a 19th century Franciscan
nun who cared for leprosy patients
in Hawaii.
It seemed as if a third saint,
Pedro Calungsod, a 17th century
Filipino teenage martyr, drew the
biggest crowd of all, with Romes
sizeable Filipino expat community
turning out in flag-waving droves
to welcome the countrys second
saint.
In his homily, Benedict praised
each of the seven as heroic and
courageous examples for the entire
church, calling Cope a shining
model for Catholics and Kateri an
inspiration to indigenous faithful
across North America.
May the witness of these new
saints ... speak today to the whole
church, and may their intercession
strengthen and sustain her in her
mission to proclaim the Gospel to
the whole world, he said.
The celebrations began at dawn,
with Native Americans in beaded
and feathered headdresses and
leather-fringed tunics singing
songs to Kateri to the beat of
drums as the sun rose over St.
Peters Square.
Later, the crowds cheered as
the pope read out the names of
each of the new saints in Latin
and declared that they were wor-
thy of veneration by the entire
church. Prayers were read out in
Mohawk and Cebuano, the dia-
lect of Calungsods native Cebu
province, and in English by a
nun wearing a lei.
Its so nice to see God show-
ing all the flavors of the world,
marveled Gene Caldwell, a
Native American member of
the Menominee reservation in
Neopit, Wisconsin, who attended
with his wife, Linda. The Native
Americans are enthralled to
have Kateri canonized, he said.
The canonization coincid-
ed with a Vatican meeting of
the worlds bishops on trying
to revive Christianity in places
where its fallen by the wayside.
Several of the new saints were
missionaries, making clear the
pope hopes their example
even though they lived hundreds
of years ago will be relevant
today as the Catholic Church
tries to hold on to its faithful.
Its a tough task as the Vatican
faces competition from evangeli-
cal churches in Africa and Latin
America, increasing seculariza-
tion in the West and disenchant-
ment due to the clerical sex abuse
scandal in Europe and beyond.
The two American saints actu-
ally hail from roughly the same
place what is today upstate New
York although they lived two
centuries apart.
The other new saints are:
Jacques Berthieu, a 19th centu-
ry French Jesuit who was killed
by rebels in Madagascar, where
he had worked as a missionary;
Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an
Italian who founded a religious
order in 1900 and established a
Catholic printing and publish-
ing house in his native Brescia;
Carmen Salles y Barangueras, a
Spanish nun who founded a reli-
gious order to educate children in
1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th
century German lay woman who
became a model for the sick and
suffering after she fell into a boiler
and badly burned her legs. The
wounds never healed, causing her
constant pain.

N
ot so recently, Twitter
exploded into the
world of social media
and quickly became the fore-
most and preferred social media
outlet for many people. Twitter
allows common people, such
as you and I, to pretend as if
we are connected with our
favorite celebrities, while at the
same time projecting our every
thought to the world around us.
Outside of its primary func-
tions, a multitude of fake or
faux accounts have emerged
into the Twitter world. These
fake accounts are primarily
comedic in nature and most
often portray some sort of
celebrity or famous athlete in an
ironic manner, posting tweets
that the real person would
never sign-off on. A number
of these accounts can be found
relating to a few well-known
figures here at our university.
@FakeJeffWithey and
@FakeJoeDooley are a few of
my personal favorites.
Accounts such as these
and even @KUBoobs have
ingrained themselves into our
lives at the University as of late
and have quite a bit of sway
over the pop culture scene
here. While out for a night on
Massachusetts Street, it would
not be outside the norm to see
a crowd of drunken partygo-
ers Witheying on the dance
floor. I have also been caught
up in the sway of these faux
celebrities myself while par-
ticipating in the alarmingly fun
#DooleyDrinkingGame during
basketball season.
If none of these references are
resonating with you as you read
this column, I am afraid I must
say that you are missing out on
a new facet of the college expe-
rience that is completely unique
to our university. However not-
ing the amount of influence that
these seemingly harmless come-
dic personalities seem to have, it
begs the question as to whether
their influence could also be put
to a greater use.
@KUBoobs is a prime exam-
ple of this. In an attempt to pro-
mote a cause outside its general
mission of spicing up game days
with photos of cleavage, the
people behind the account have
attempted to promote breast
cancer awareness by advertising
for different local charity events
dedicated to the cause. It isnt
outside the realm of plausibility
for these local personalities to
do a solid for the local commu-
nity by promoting any number
of local organizations or even
using their clout within the
community to organize a fund-
raiser of their own.
Boasting more than 26,000
devoted followers between the
two of them, @FakeJeffWithey
and @FakeJoeDooley could eas-
ily effect the local community.
Just to be clear, I am neither
singling out nor condemning
either of these personalities
for a lack of action, but merely
speculating as to whether peo-
ple such as them could effect
the local community.
I enjoy the antics of these
faux celebrities as much as the
next guy, but I do believe that
we could all enjoy their antics
even more on an even larger
scale while also possibly con-
tributing to a good cause.
Either way, its safe to say
that if you arent yet among the
elite social following of these
fake personalities, then you are
missing out on a unique local
experience that you will be hard
pressed to find at any other col-
lege in the nation.

T
onights debate topic is
fitting for the whirlwind
of controversy surround-
ing the Obama administration at
the moment. President Obama
and Mitt Romney will spar over
foreign policy in Florida and the
terrorist attack on an American
consulate in Benghazi, Libya
will surely be a topic touched
on by both men. It should be
interesting for well-informed
potential voters to listen to
President Obama tout himself as
a great leader and symbol of our
country overseas in light of the
complete lack of leadership fol-
lowing the Sept. 11 attack on our
consulate.
There are too many issues for
Obama to address all of them by
himself; however, a presidents
administration is like the adage
about friends: show me who a
mans friends are and I will tell
you who he is. Obama hired
the people that are responsible
for allowing Americans to die at
the hands of terrorists. Instead
of taking responsibility, hes
helped conjure up a cover-up
and allowed others within the
administration to take the fall.
Our commander in chief has
come a long way from the buck
stops here. I guess it now stops
somewhere that wont make the
president look bad. Everyone
from Susan Rice to Hillary
Clinton has tried to take the
blame for the administrations
ineptitude but the blame must
fall squarely on the shoulders of
their boss: the president.
The facts are pretty damn-
ing for the administration.
This wasnt the first instance of
violence in connection with the
consulate. There were reports
of eight attacks on the consul-
ate six months prior to the fatal
Sept. 11 attack that killed U.S.
Ambassador J. Christopher
Stevens and three other
Americans. Ambassador Stevens
personal security detail consisted
of local Libyan bodyguards, not
armed American soldiers. Who
thought that was a good idea?
Benghazi is like the wild west
and we dont put our peoples
safety in the hands of highly-
trained, highly-skilled American
troops? If Obama personally
knows all of the American dip-
lomats, as he claimed in the
second presidential debate, he
sure isnt a great friend to have.
Not only did he, or a subordi-
nate, ignore the pleas for help,
but they put diplomats in harms
way. Not only did the adminis-
tration fail to ensure the safety of
American diplomats and show
gross negligence by ignoring
the concerns of people on the
ground, but they also covered up
the truth of the event.
The administration originally
said the attack was a spontane-
ous assault sparked by an anti-
Islam video that came out of the
U.S. It took nearly two weeks for
the administration to acknowl-
edge it was a planned act of ter-
rorism. It took the CIA a day to
obtain information that several
of the terrorists were linked with
al-Qaeda. The same al-Qaeda
that President Obama has told us
he defeated. So, if theyve been
defeated, how were they able to
at least help in the bombing of a
U.S. consulate in one of the most
dangerous parts of the world on
the anniversary of their greatest
achievement?
Instead of taking responsibil-
ity and doing something about it,
our campaigner in chief is too
busy arguing whether a sweeping
statement about acts of terror
is the same as fully acknowledg-
ing the act as a terrorist plot car-
ried out by members of a terror-
ist group we were lead to believe
had been defeated in thanks to
his glorious leadership. In 2008,
American voters had cause to
question the Democratic candi-
date for presidents ability to be
able to deal with foreign policy;
it appears that four years hasnt
changed much.

sorry Pokmon girl... you just cant

i just realized that our generations

C
ollege can get the best
of everyone. No, Im not
talking about Thursday
morning after Dollar Night,
but something a little more in-
depth, like your own personal
happiness and success.
Sure, everyones extremely
busy with responsibilities piling
up. But before you crack out
your books, take a little bit of
time to do something special for
yourself.
In high school, I loved to take
the time to dress up or look
decent for school every day. I
could probably count the times
I wore comfy clothes on one
hand throughout those four
years. But once I got to college,
with all of the Nike running
shorts, leggings, and oversized
T-shirts on campus, I conformed
to the majority and usually
rolled out of bed with 10 min-
utes before I had to get to class.
I could feel my self-motivation
to try in the morning slowly
drag down with my motivation
to study.
Thats when I realized that I
feel happier and more confident
with myself when I take the time
to even throw on a pair of jeans.
Taking the time to get ready
in the morning energizes me
and makes me feel less groggy
throughout the day. Once I feel
like I have done something for
myself, I feel more put-together
and prepared for the day. The
days I usually throw on some-
thing lazy, I felt lazy as well.
Theres absolutely nothing
wrong with wearing comfy
clothes and I will definitely not
completely stop wearing leg-
gings and T-shirts altogether.
While this method is definitely
not for everyone, just doing the
simplest things can really make
a big difference and maybe even
motivate you to do other neces-
sary tasks.
My roommate loves to do
her nails in crazy, innovative
designs. She will redo her nails
a few times a week, sometimes
more. She says it gives her time
to relax from lifes daily stresses
and do something that makes
her happy. Some people love
taking the time to hit the gym as
that makes them feel refreshed.
It all depends on the person,
essentially.
Alain de Botton, modern day
philosopher and writer, said in
his book The Architecture of
Happiness that we should basi-
cally own our ideas of happiness
and feeling better about you. If
you are in a better mood, suc-
cess can be an easier route. So
if we do even the smallest thing,
it can be beneficial in the long
run.
Its up to you to find your
own niche. If you know of one
thing that you can take a bit of
time out of your day that makes
you happy, it will allow for
more time for personal success.
Happiness directly correlates
with how well you feel moti-
vated to do in school, work, or
whatever.
Im not trying to go all Oprah
and yell things like to take
charge of your life, because
unlike that saying, this concept
is simple. If you havent already,
find some little thing that makes
you happy and can take you
away from the daily stresses of
life.

Review

W
hich Hitch is which?
Thats the question
many viewers are ask-
ing following Saturdays premiere
of HBOs original film The Girl,
the already-controversial dramati-
zation of Alfred Hitchcocks power
struggle with Tippi Hedren, the ex-
model he plucked from diet drink-
hawking obscurity to star in The
Birds, the great directors wildly
ambitious follow-up to Psycho.
There have been rumblings
of a Hitchcock biopic for over
a year now, but The Girl has
seldom been the focus of this
coverage. Poised for a Nov. 23
release, another movie centered on
the Master of Suspense, this one
simply titled Hitchcock, is snag-
ging the lions share of the buzz
through the laurel-catcher casting
of Anthony Hopkins as Hitch and
Helen Mirren as Alma, the British
filmmakers long-suffering wife and
steadfast collaborator.
Screenshots of Hopkins, uncan-
nily transfigured beneath layers of
prosthetic makeup and framed in
the iconic Good Evening profile,
have been circulating since last
April. My only complaint about
the performance so far is his voice,
which doesnt quite do justice to
the aristocratic tenor of the origi-
nal.
So now we have two Hitchcock
stories opening almost within a
month of each other, both deal-
ing with notoriously grueling
film shoots and each claiming
scandalous knowledge of the direc-
tors private life, which included
the obsessive fetishization of his
cool-blonde leading ladies and
the alleged harassment of sev-
eral of these actresses, including
Grace Kelly and Miss Hedren. Is
Hollywood big enough for both
films, or is one destined to over-
shadow the other? Time will tell,
but both Hitchcock and The
Girl have merits worth noting in
the meantime.
Blondes make the best vic-
tims, the real Hitchcock said on
one occasion. Theyre like virgin
snow that shows up the bloody
footprints. Julian Jarrolds The
Girl, based on film historian
Donald Spotos book Spellbound
by Beauty, seems to have taken
this quote to heart. It serves up a
pulpy what-if? scenario that finds
Miss Hedren (Sienna Miller) being
stalked by her director throughout
the filming of The Birds and its
less-successful follow-up Marnie,
only to find her film career sabo-
taged after rejecting his advances.
Hedren, now 82, served as a con-
sultant for Miller on the film and
has sworn to its authenticity.
Toby Jones plays this incarna-
tion of Hitchcock as a lecherous,
tyrannical pervert whos been given
a lifelong pass by an industry fear-
ful of affronting his genius. Imelda
Staunton co-stars as Alma, who
in this version comes across as a
fussy, willful enabler. Jones, the
same diminutive British character
actor who voiced Dobby the House
Elf in the Harry Potter series,
certainly has bad luck choosing
high profile roles around the same
time as better-known perform-
ers. He appeared as true-crime
novelist Truman Capote in 2006s
Infamous, a movie that was
still in production when Philip
Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar
for playing the same character in
Capote.
Fans of the director are less
likely to get their feathers ruffled by
Sacha Gervasis Hitchcock, which
promises a far more flattering por-
trayal of Hitch and the lifelong love
affair he shared with Alma. Most of
the film revolves around the mak-
ing of Psycho and Hitchcocks
endless battle with Production
Code worrywarts over Janet Leighs
shower scene, an enduring triumph
of sensory horror that arguably
birthed the modern slasher film.
As Hitchcock once said: Drama
is life with the dull bits cut out.
Well see if that holds true when
the life on display is his own.

MUSIc
Taylor Swift turns
pop with Red
LOS ANGELES _ During the 13
months that Taylor Swift canvassed
the globe on her 2011-12 Speak
Now tour, she was joined onstage
by a steady parade of celeb musi-
cian friends and admirers: Nicki
Minaj and Justin Bieber in L.A.,
Usher in Atlanta, Brooks & Dunns
Ronnie Dunn in her home base of
Nashville, Selena Gomez and James
Taylor at Madison Square Garden
in New York.
On the surface, the guest appear-
ances were simply a bonus for fans,
a little something to generate extra
sparks, Twitter and water cooler
buzz about those shows.
But the move seems to have had
an unanticipated side effect on the
star and her new album, Red.
I reached a moment in making
this album where I just wanted to
get into the studio with people who
do things differently than I do and
see how they do it, said Swift, 22,
during a recent break in rehearsals
in North Hollywood. It was really
more of an experience decision.
I really never want to get stuck
making the same album more than
once.
Red, Swifts fourth album, is
an unapologetically big pop record
that opens new sonic vistas for
her thanks to collaborations with
pop-world heavyweights including
Max Martin and his frequent song-
writing and production partner
Shellback, Ed Sheeran, Jeff Bhasker
and Semisonic singer Dan Wilson.
Red will be released worldwide
Monday.
The new alliances manifest in the
big-beat pop chorus of the albums
first single, We Are Never, Ever
Getting Back Together, which she
wrote with Martin and Shellback,
who produced it. The title track,
her essay on a best-of-times, worst-
of-times relationship, opens over
a simple banjo accompaniment
but quickly kicks into rock over-
drive with pounding drums and a
throbbing bass line. The song 22
applies a strong dose of Auto-Tune
to mechanize her vocal over what
sounds like programmed electron-
ic drums. And shes gained con-
siderable attention for the peppery
syncopated rhythms in I Knew
You Were Trouble and the hints of
dubstep she, Martin and Shellback
weaved into her tale of yet another
star-crossed romance.
With only the most fleeting trac-
es of the country music with which
she launched her career, the album
creatively too takes her deeper into
the pop world than Speak Now,
for which she proudly wrote all 14
songs single-handedly. It became
the first album in more than 5
years to sell more than 1 million
copies in its first week of release
when it came out two years ago. It
has since sold more than 4 million
copies in the U.S., according to
Nielsen SoundScan.
On the floor of the rehearsal
studio, Swift displays the same
fire in the belly and intense drive
that she exhibited at 17, shortly
after the release of her 2006 debut
album, Taylor Swift. But theres a
new authority in her voice, perhaps
culled from her transition over the
last half decade from a wide-eyed
ingenue to one of the biggest pop
stars of the new millennium.
More obvious to the outside
world than all of that is the increas-
ingly sophisticated and refined
fashion sense shes developed as
a top-rank model and cover girl.
During the rehearsal she wore a
casual knit long-sleeve sweater
mini-dress with black and horizon-
tal white pinstripes, tan and brown
stylized saddle shoes. The delicate
gold chain around her left wrist
was offset by girlish, turquoise blue
nail polish. Her once curly blond
hair was straight and pulled into
an efficient, unfussy ponytail. The
bangs scattered across her forehead
framed her delicate blue eyes.
One of the things Im proudest
of is that I feel like every one of
the three albums Ive put out so far
stand alone in one way or another,
she said, sitting in a small room
off the rehearsal hall. Shed been
working with her seven-piece band
and half a dozen dancers ahead of
their VMA show performance of
We Are Never, Ever Getting Back
Together, the first single off Red
that recently brought Swift her first
No. 1 hit on the Billboard 100 pop
singles chart.
This album does that too, she
said. The reason being that, with
Speak Now, it was really impor-
tant for me to write every song on
it myself. ... And for this album, it
was really important for me to col-
laborate.
I think the 24 guests she had
on the Speak Now tour really
opened her mind to a lot of things,
said Scott Borchetta, head of Big
Machine Records, the fledgling
label he launched in 2006 and
turned into one of the music busi-
ness rare 21st century success sto-
ries largely on the shoulders of a
15-year-old singer-songwriter he
had signed named Taylor Swift. It
really opened her mind musically
and sonically.
Swift might be two months shy
of 23, but shes spent half her life
writing songs, and the last eight of
those doing it professionally, having
landed a songwriting contract with
Sony/ ATV Music when she was
just 14. With Speak Now, she set
a record for the most songs by one
artist to debut in the Billboard 100
pop singles chart in the same week:
10, all of which she wrote herself.
She was just 20 when she was hon-
ored for her songwriting by the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, the pub-
lishing rights organization, with its
Hal David Starlight Award.

When viewers flip the channel
to A&E, and see a family sporting
camouflage and preaching hillbilly
proverbs, it means the beards have
returned. The T.V. show Duck
Dynasty follows the adventures of
the Robertson family. This family
of hunters became multi-million-
aires after founding the compa-
ny Duck Commander, what they
claim is one of the best duck calls
on the market.
The show focuses on three dif-
ferent generations of the Robertson
family: Phil, the patriarch and
founder of the company; his wife
Miss Kay; his brother Si; Phil and
Miss Kays sons Willie, Jase, and
Jep, along with their wives and
children.
Luke McElwain, a freshman
from Overland Park, has watched
the show since it started. He said
he continues to watch because of
the things the family does while
hunting, such as trying to get fresh
honey by sucking the bees from the
hive with a long shop-vac some-
thing that failed miserably.
Rednecks and money always
equal hours of entertainment, he
said. Plus, most of the things that
I see them doing, my friends and I
would try ourselves
McElwain said his favorite char-
acter is Willie, the current CEO of
the company. In one of the recent
episodes, Willie grapples with the
idea that his daughter has a boy-
friend and decides to take him
hunting to get to know him. Before
the trip, Willie says, Nothing
makes me happier than a smile on
my daughters face and fear in her
boyfriends eyes.
He always tries to get the guys
to focus on working, but he always
ends up getting sucked into what-
ever they were doing, he said. My
favorite thing he did was taking his
daughters boyfriend out hunting.
I could see myself doing the same
thing if I have a daughter.
Josh Pladies, a freshman from
Silver Lake, has also watched the
show from its start and is an avid
duck and goose hunter. Pladies
said his favorite character is Si, a
Vietnam war veteran with a wicked
sense of humor.
However, although Pladies
watches the show, he does not use
the Duck Commander duck call.
They claim to be one of the best
ones made, but pretty much every
call company claims this, he said.
It is really about preference, and I
prefer a certain product.
Duck Dynasty airs on

Armstrong scApegoAt for bigger
problems
Over the past few weeks, Lance Armstrong
has been in a bit of a rut. Te cycling great
and cancer survivor was stripped of his seven
Tour de France titles, received a lifetime ban
from cycling and lost his endorsement deal
with Nike.
Te champion cyclist appealed his ban and
the loss of his titles given out by the U.S. Anti
Doping Agency, but the accusations and evi-
dence stained his reputation.
It is my belief, however, that the criticisms
of Armstrong are unfair. Yes, it is likely that
his performance benefted from dirty actions
but that is not an indication of a tainted man
so much as it is an indication of a tainted
sport.
Tere is a popular stat foating around
the internet that says that in Armstrongs
2005 Tour de France victory if the title was
awarded to the next fastest cyclist that wasnt
implicated in some sort of doping, the win-
ner would be the 23rd place fnisher.
With that in mind, it is clear the doping
permeated the entire sport and the separa-
tion that we saw from Armstrong truly was
his work ethic that pushed him to the top of
the cycling world.
While Armstrong may have a stake of be-
ing insuferable and arrogant to other cyclist
and ofcials, his work with the Livestrong
Foundation is more than enough to remem-
ber him as an overall positive infuence.
KAnsAs footbAll needs offensive
fAce-lift
Te coaching change and addition of trans-
fer players this season led to some excitement
going into the football season this year but
through seven games, this season has been
nothing but disappointing. Te team has a
single win, their opening game against the
mighty South Dakota State Jackrabbits, and
faces a game against Texas on Saturday.
Te defense has made some great strides
this season as they have limited some very
good ofenses and created turnovers with
very good frequency. Too ofen, however, the
ofense has turned the ball right back over or
failed to capitalize on great feld position.
Te ofensive line has done a great job
run blocking and the three-headed assault
of Tony Pierson, James Sims and Taylor Cox
has capitalized on the solid blocking to post
strong numbers each week.
We know Charlie Weis reputation as an
ofensive genius, but this teams passing game
has been stagnant at best. Te receivers have
struggled to get open all season long and
when they have been open Dayne Crist has
struggled to fnd them.
Weis has already begun to switch things up
ofensively but more changes need to come
to see what type of ofense Jayhawk fans can
expect next season. Te ofense is broken and
new parts are needed to fx it, particularly in
the passing game.
frontcourt injuries muddle West-
ern conference plAyoff picture
With the rise of the Los Angeles Clippers,
the moves made by the Los Angeles Lakers
and the general amount of talent in the NBAs
Western Conference, it is clear that it will be
much more difcult to reach the playofs in
the West.
With an existing injury to Dwight Howard
and recent injuries to both Kevin Love and
Dirk Nowitzki, three of the top frontcourt
presences in the entire NBA are question
marks entering the season.
While Dwight Howard is expected to play,
last
ni ght
his injury
history creates
doubts about his ability to stay on the court
for Los Angeles.
Kevin Loves injury drastically afects the
playof hopes of the Minnesota Timber-
wolves who already must stomach the injury
to point guard Ricky Rubio that should keep
him from playing deep into December.
Dirk Nowitzkis injury may have the big-
gest efect on his team. Te Dallas Maver-
icks won the NBA title two seasons ago, but
struggled for much of last season before be-
ing swept in the frst round of the playofs.
Te Mavericks do not have good depth up
front and could really struggle with Nowitzki
out to start the season.

Kansas State passes
oregon to take third
place in bcS standings
NEW YORK Only in the BCS stand-
ings does Oregon get passed.
Kansas State moved ahead of the
Ducks and up to No. 3 on Sunday behind
SEC rivals Alabama and Florida.
The Wildcats big victory Saturday at
West Virginia was enough to nudge them
past the Ducks, who are No. 2 in both
polls but are getting held back by com-
puter ratings that lag behind the other
highly ranked teams.
The Crimson Tide (.9625) is still sol-
idly in frst, and Florida (.9310) grabbed
a frmer grip on second with a 44-11 vic-
tory over South Carolina on Saturday.
The Gators are top in the computer
ratings and Kansas State is second. The
Wildcats (.9111) beat West Virginia 55-
14 for their third Big 12 road victory.
Fourth-place Oregon (.8966), coming
off a 43-21 win at Arizona State, is sixth
in the computer ratings.
Notre Dame is ffth in the standings
heading into its game at Oklahoma. The
Sooners are eighth.
LSU is sixth and unbeaten Oregon
State is seventh.
The Ducks arent likely to gain any
ground this week unless the teams in
front of them lose. Oregon plays Colo-
rado (1-6) at home, while the rest of the
teams ahead of the Ducks play ranked
opponents.
Oregon should be able to start mak-
ing up ground Nov. 3. The Ducks play
USC that day, then go to Cal. They fnish
with Stanford at home and Oregon State
in Corvallis. Oregon would also have to
play in the Pac-12 championship game
if it gets that far.
The all-SEC BCS championship game
between LSU and Alabama last year not-
withstanding, it would seem this season
the SEC stands a better chance of work-
ing itself out by Dec. 1.
If Alabama and Florida keep winning
theyll play each other that day in the
SEC championship for a spot in the na-
tional title game.

No. 4 KaNsas state 55 --
No. 13 West VirgiNia 14
KSU 7-0 (4-0) -- WVU 5-2 (2-2)
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, who hadnt
thrown an interception all season, threw two against
Kansas State Saturday night. Smith held the lead for the
Heisman Trophy, but critics now think K-State quar-
terback Collin Klein is the frontrunner.
Klein shined, accounting for seven touchdowns
against West Virginia three of them through the air
and four on the ground.
Klein had season-highs in many areas, including
yards thrown with 323.
No. 17 texas tech 56 --
No. 23 texas christiaN 53, 3 ot
TTU 6-1 (3-1) -- TCU 5-2 (2-2)
Te Big 12 witnessed one of the most exciting games
of the season as Texas Tech outlasted Texas Christian
in a game that was decided in triple overtime.
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege put up big num-
bers against TCUs defense. Doege had 318 yards and
seven touchdowns passes with his biggest target being
wide receiver Eric Ward, who had six catches for 61
yards and three touchdowns.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin continued to
improve in his new role as the starter. His 26 comple-
tions and 332 passing yards were the highest hes had
this year. Boykin distributed the ball well, throwing a
touchdown pass to four diferent recievers.
But it would be TCUs three turnovers that would
hurt them in the close game . Doege gave the Red Raid-
ers the win afer he threw the game-winning touch-
down pass to wide receiver Alex Torres.
No. 25 texas 56 -- Baylor 50
UT 5-2 (2-2) -- BU 3-3 (0-3)
Texas and Baylor both went into Saturdays con-
test with a two-game losing streak. In the end, Texas
snapped its losing streak as Baylor continued its, mov-
ing it to 3-3 afer starting the season winning its frst
three games.
Texas running back Joe Bergeron made the biggest
impact in the game, rushing for 117 yards and fve
touchdowns. Wide receiver Mike Davis worked well
with quarterback David Ash as well. Te two connect-
ed six times for 148 yards and one touchdown.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence had some weap-
ons of his own. Florence completed 10 passes to wide
receiver Terrance Williams for 183 yards and a touch-
down. Florence threw two touchdown passes and ran
to the end zone twice himself.
But an interception from Florence and a fumble by
running back Glasco Martin prevented the Bears from
beating the Longhorns.
oKlahoma state 31 -- No. 24 ioWa state 10
OKST 4-2 (2-1) -- ISU 4-3 (1-3)
Quarterback J.W. Walsh threw for a season-high 415
yards as Oklahoma State scored 24 unanswered points
afer the frst quarter to defeat Iowa State.
Walsh completed 68 percent of his passes and helped
keep the ofense on the feld for over 34 minutes. Run-
ning back Joseph Randle rushed for more than 100
yards for the ffh time this season. Randle collected
151 yards and two touchdowns to give the Cowboys a
boost on ofense.
Oklahoma States defense came through on third
down as it allowed Iowa State to convert on only four
of 17 third downs. Te Cowboys shutout the Cyclones
in the second half to pick up the win.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Matt
Kenseth won for the second time
in the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship in a caution-marred
race at repaved Kansas Speedway.
The fast new surface and a hard
tire contributed to Sundays race-
record 14 cautions, a season high
for the Sprint Cup Series.
You know, everybody has been
asking all season long where the
cautions have been, points leader
Brad Keselowski said. Well, they
flew to Kansas and theyve been
hanging out here because there
was caution after caution.
Nobody was immune from the
problems, either, as at least five
title contenders had issues.
Jimmie Johnson led 44 laps
early, but crashed hard after spin-
ning by himself. He had to stop
at least a half-dozen times on pit
road for repairs over two caution
periods to salvage a ninth-place
finish.
I have never in my 30 years of
racing seen anyone perform that
kind of surgery and not lose a lap,
team owner Rick Hendrick said
about the No. 48 teams work on
the car.
It was good enough to keep
the Chase margin unchanged
with Keselowski, who finished
one spot ahead in eighth and
maintained his seven-point lead
in the standings with four races
remaining.
Im glad to have survived the
carnage and brought back a decent
car, Keselowski said. Whew! Just
a tough day.
Martin Truex Jr. finished sec-
ond, Paul Menard was third in
the first race back for crew chief
Slugger Labbe, who served a six-
race suspension for an infraction
at Michigan.
Kasey Kahne finished fourth
and was followed by Tony Stewart,
who overcame both a spin during
the race and a pit road penalty for
leaving his stall with equipment
still attached to his car.
Clint Bowyer, from nearby
Emporia and the winner last
week at Charlotte, finished sixth
to maintain fourth in the Chase
standings. He trimmed his defi-
cit by three points to 25 behind
Keselowski.
For Kenseth, it was his sec-
ond win in three weeks, but not
enough to put him back in the
title picture. Although he gained
two spots in the standings, hes
still ninth in the Chase and 55
points out.
A strong performance by sopho-
more Alina Vats wasnt enough to
prevent the Kansas swim team from
losing to Minnesota on Saturday by
the score of 179-119 at Robinson
Natatorium.
Vats swept both backstroke events
and anchored the 200-yard freestyle
relay team.
She was a bit tentative at Rice,
but today she was a lot more com-
fortable, Campbell said about Vats
in a release from KU Athletics. She
really likes racing this level of com-
petition and she had a really good
meet.
Senior captain Rebecca Swank
captured the other first-place fin-
ish, winning the 1,000-yard freestyle
by more than five seconds. Swank
also finished second in the 500-yard
freestyle.
Other top finishes for Kansas came
from senior captain Brooke Brull
who swam in the 200-yard back-
stroke and 200-yard IM. Sophomore
Deanna Marks was another per-
son who competed in the 100- and
200-yard butterfly. Freshmen Bryce
Hinde swam in the 100- and 200-
yard breaststroke. Her fellow fresh-
man Haley Molden competed in the
100- and 200-yard freestyle.
The top performer for Minnesota
was freshman Kierra Smith, who
placed first in the 100- and 200-yard
breaststroke. Smith also swam in
the second leg of the first-place 200-
yard medley relay team. Minnesotas
other first place finisher was senior
Annalise Colton in the 100- and
200-yard butterfly.
The meet against Minnesota also
served as Senior Day for Kansas
eight seniors: Brull, Swank, Alyssa
Rudman, Christy Cash, Svetlana
Golovchun, Cora Powers, Brittany
Rospierski and Madison Wagner.
I have seen more growth out
of this senior class over their four
years, in terms of coming in and
being somewhat immature coming
out of high school, to being very
mature, confident, strong women,
Campbell said. Watching their
growth over the past four years has
been a privilege.
Kansas next meet is on Thursday,
Oct. 25 in Omaha, Neb., to compete
against Nebraska-Omaha.

Rowing team improves
in weekend scrimmage
The Kansas rowing team used this
weekend as an opportunity to improve.
The Jayhawks travelled to Tulsa, Okla. to
compete against Tulsa in a scrimmage.
The scrimmage began on Friday
when the Varsity Eight boats raced in
an 8,000-meter race, which the Kansas
varsity squad won.
Our top boat rowed really, really well,
and our second boat had a really good
race on Friday, coach Rob Catloth said
in a release by KU Athletics. Across the
board everyone improved and upped the
level of performance.
On Saturday, the varsity squads com-
peted in a series of scrimmages. This
was the frst competition for new mem-
bers to the team, and Catloth praised
their performance.
It was their frst ever row against
another University, and I hope by being
successful it gives them more encour-
agement to continue to improve and
learn the sport better, Catloth said.
Kansas will fnish its fall season with
the Head of the Hooch regatta in Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., on Nov. 3.
Christopher Schaeder
The Jayhawks started the
weekend needing just one point
to secure a spot in the Big 12
Championships. Kansas ended
a two-game scoreless streak by
crushing Iowa State 4-1 on Friday
before losing the Big 12 finale 3-1
to Texas Tech on Sunday.
After a slow start, the Jayhawks
began to find gaps in the Cyclones
defense with senior Sarah Robbins
and freshman Courtney Dickerson,
both coming close to scoring half-
way through the first half.
With 19 minutes left in the first
half, Dickerson raced down the
sideline and played a cross when
the ball struck the outstretched
arm of an Iowa State defender,
resulting in a penalty kick for
Kansas. Senior Whitney Berry
stepped up to take the penalty, but
was denied by a diving Maddie
Jobe for Iowa State.
Kansas pressure finally broke
the Iowa State defense when Amy
Grow stole the ball in midfield
before passing to Dickerson, who
was able to tuck the ball inside the
far post. Just three minutes later,
Kansass leading scorer Caroline
Kastor saw her low shot sneak past
the goalie for a 2-0 Jayhawk lead
at the half.
Five minutes after the break,
Berry got her redemption when
she was brought down in the box
after her dummy wrong-footed the
defender. This time, Berry slot-
ted home, making it 3-0 for the
Jayhawks. With a little more than
20 minutes remaining, senior for-
ward Nicole Chrisopulos scored
the first goal of her college career
to make it 4-0 Kansas.
Nicole works extremely hard;
I think this year has been her
best year, coach Mark Francis said
when discussing the seniors con-
tribution to the team.
Iowa State grabbed a late goal
when the Cyclones leading scorer,
Jennifer Dominguez, notched her
12th goal of the season on a header
off a free kick.
After wrapping up a spot in
the conference tournament, the
Jayhawks entered Sundays game
looking to add to Fridays win.
Kansas struck first when Texas
Tech allowed Courtney Dickerson
through on goal and the forward
was able to score her second goal
in two games, giving the Jayhawks
an early lead.
With 10 minutes left in the half,
the Red Raiders struck when Dawn
Ward headed the ball into the back
of the net to tie the game.
As the halftime buzzer sounded,
the Jayhawks appeared to score a
goal through Ashley Williams. Her
shot looked like it was knocked
into the net by the Texas Tech
goalie before the buzzer sound-
ed, but the referee disallowed the
goal.
I thought it was a goal; the ball
went in the goal before the buzzer,
Francis said. Regardless of wheth-
er that was a goal or not, we still
had plenty of opportunities.
Kansas started the second half
brightly, but soon found itself a
goal down when Paige Strahan
played a one-two and fired a volley
into the top of the net. Nine min-
utes later, the Red Raiders scored
again. This time Briana Rohmer
fired a shot that Kansas goalie Kat
Liebetrau could only graze with
her fingertips as it bounced into
the net.
The Jayhawks almost scored a
late goal, but the Red Raiders were
able to clear Kastors header off
the line.
Kansas slipped to 3-5 in con-
ference play this year and will
either finish fifth or sixth in the
league, depending on Oklahomas
final Big 12 game. Kansas will
play its final regular season game
when the Jayhawks host Northern
Colorado on Friday in Lawrence
before traveling to San Antonio for
the Big 12 Championships.
At this point for our season to
keep going, we are going to have to
win the conference tournament,
Francis said.

Kansas gained 309-yards on the
ninth best team in the nation and found
success multiple times at moving the
ball. The run game continued to be
the Jayhawks bright spot, rushing for
185-yards compared to Oklahomas 93
-- although the Sooners have a deadly
quarterback in Landry Jones -- and for
the second consecutive game, Kansas
won the fourth quarter.

GlASS hAlf empty
Even though the Jayhawks remem-
bered how to fnish games in the fourth
quarter, it seems to have come at the ex-
pense of forgetting how to play the frst
three. Kansas hadnt been out of reach
before halftime all season until getting
rolled by Oklahoma in the early goings.
While Oklahoma made scoring look so
easy a cave man could do it, the Jay-
hawks couldnt fgure it out until the end
of the fourth quarter.

Charlie Weis was back to his old
tricks, but they didnt pan out so well in
norman, Okla. Weis gave running back
Taylor Cox a chance to make a big play
with a deep pass to tight end Jimmay
Mundine, but the pass went incomplete
and Cox ended up on the turf.

Dayne Crist was just trying to make a
play, but when he rolled out of the pocket
on 3-and-10 from the OU 11-yard line,
the Sooners Tom Wort pummeled Crist to
the ground, causing him to lose the ball.
What should have been points on the
board for Kansas turned into a 45-yard
fumble return for Oklahoma, eventually
leading to another touchdown, putting
the Sooners up 17-0.

Fortunately for Kansas, there is no
time to dwell on this one. The Jayhawks
play host to Texas for the Homecoming
game next week and after Mack Browns
troops defeated Baylor 56-50 there will
be much to prepare for. Best thing for the
Jayhawks to do is move on, Oklahoma is
a great team and Kansas needed its best
game to compete against them, hope-
fully the Jayhawks still have that best
showing to come.
fiNAl thOuGht:
If there is one thing to take away from
this game, its that Charlie Weis will not
stay status quo. He has said numerous
times that if things arent working, he
will adapt. after getting blown out like in
Saturdays game, its fair to say that not
many roster spots are safe and that may
be a good thing. Even if the Jayhawks
are out of competition in the Big 12,
the competition amongst the Jayhawks
could produce some favorable results for
the future.

First it was Michael Cummings.
Then it was Dayne Crist, then
Cummings, Crist, and Cummings
again, but none of it mattered.
The Sooners stopped every
quarterback the Jayhawks threw
at them. Oklahoma played like
the ninth best team in the nation
should, defeating Kansas 52-7.
How bad was it? The Jayhawks
had about one punt for every two
completed passes.
We came out early and went
nine plays on the first drive and six
plays on the second drive, coach
Charlie Weis said. It wasnt like
we werent moving the ball at all,
but to get some chunks you have
to be willing to open it up some,
you cant just bunch it up the whole
time.
Weis said that he divided his
two quarterbacks into different
packages. Cummings was used in
tighter bunches because there was
potential for a quarterback run,
something he didnt want Dayne
Crist doing.
After keeping both Kansas
fans and Oklahoma from know-
ing who would take the first snap
for the Jayhawks, Weis trotted out
Cummings for his career start.
If Cummings and the Jayhawks
would have continued to move the
ball as well as they did early in the
first quarter, there might have been
something to build off of.
But inexperience hurt
Cummings, who completed 10 of
21 passes for 111 yards and rushed
21 yards. The mobile quarterback
tried to dance around in the pocket
long enough for a play to develop.
This strategy led to two intercep-
tions and two sacks.
Its a learning experience trying
to make plays when the best play to
be made is throwing the ball away,
Cummings said.
Crist didnt fare any better. The
senior completed three of six pass-
es for 13 yards, lost 16 yards on the
ground and coughed up a fumble
in the red zone that the Sooners
turned into 45-yard return and
touchdown.
When junior wide receiver Josh
Ford recovered a fumbled punt
at the Oklahoma 11-yard line in
the first quarter, it seemed the
Jayhawks would have a chance to
get on the board.
Crist took over the red zone
offense, and had freshman wide
receiver Tre Parmalee wide open
on a flat route on the first play.
But Crist threw the ball behind
Parmalee, and the receiver dove to
catch it for no gain.
Weis switched back to
Cummings; he hoped Cummings
would find an open Kale Pick in
the end zone, but that pass went
incomplete. Crist came back in
and gave up the fumble that turned
into 45 yards for the Sooners.
It could have been 10-7. Instead,
the Jayhawks were down 17-0.
We had a guy open on the play,
we dont connect and I think thats
a walk in touchdown, Weis said.
I wasnt looking to play musical
quarterbacks. It was just that three
play sequence fit the guys who
had practiced those plays from that
position on the field.
Kansas would get only two more
looks at the Oklahoma red zone.
The first resulted in a 30-yard
missed field goal, the second
turned into something better.
The Jayhawks chewed up most
of the fourth quarter on a 19-play,
80-yard touchdown drive com-
manded by Cummings and led by
running back James Sims.
Sims rushed for 37 yards, includ-
ing a one-yard touchdown run to
break the shutout with just three
minutes left in the game.
But with the game out of reach at
halftime, the last two quarters were
about Weis preparing Cummings
for his future snaps.
When the score is 38-0, you
might as well get Michael in there
and see what weve got, Weis said.

Dont be deceived by the 309-yards kansas put up on Oklahoma. almost 100 of
them came in the fourth quarter, long after the game had been decided. It is a plus
that the Jayhawks were able to move the ball late in the game, but their inability to
sustain pressure and take advantage of red zone opportunities killed them. mean-
while, kansas is still looking for a quarterback to consistently complete more than 50
percent of his passes.

The Jayhawks special teams are asking for a failing grade. kansas muffed the
opening kickoff although those damn rifes fring behind the Jayhawks kick re-
turners didnt help and the special teams spiraled out of control from there. Okla-
homa returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown while the Jayhawks missed
their only feld goal attempt a 30-yarder from Nick Prolago.
Grade: D-
In theory, using two packages built around both a pocket-passing Dayne Crist and
a dual-threat michael Cummings seemed to have many benefts, but the faws of
that plan emerged when kansas switched quarterbacks three times in one red zone
apperance. Weis didnt want to play musical quarterbacks at that point in the game,
but didnt have too many options.
Grade: c+
What a difference a week makes. The Jayhawks were able to hold the highest
scoring offense in the nation to 20 points last week against Oklahoma State and
gave up nearly double that amount in the frst half against the Sooners. Oklahoma
rarely took longer than three minutes to score -- it was able to score 52 points with
just under 20 minutes of possession -- giving kansas fans fashbacks of the Turner
gill era.

F
or the past six seasons, the
Southeastern Conference has
dominated the BCS champion-
ship, winning six straight titles. It has
been two seasons since a team rep-
resented the Big 12 conference. The
last non-SEC team to win the BCS
championship was Texas before the
six straight SEC victories.
However, that could all change
with the newest edition of the Kansas
State Wildcats.
Kansas State didnt disappoint in
Morgantown, W.Va. on Saturday. The
Wildcats clobbered the West Virginia
Mountaineers 55-14, and showed that
they are primed for a BCS bowl game.
Last year, the Wildcats made it to
the Cotton Bowl, but fell short, losing
29-16 to Arkansas. Kansas State hasnt
won a bowl game since its 2002 sea-
son, winning against Arizona State in
the Holiday Bowl.
In the programs 15 bowl game
appearances, Kansas State only made
one appearance in a BCS bowl. That
game was against Ohio State in the
2004 Fiesta Bowl.
Now, the Wildcats have the best
chance to get to their second BCS
bowl, and this time, it will be for the
national championship.
The team will continue to rely on
its star quarterback Collin Klein.
In their victory, Klein completed
19 of his 21 passes and threw for 323
yards and three touchdowns. Klein
also rushed for 41 yards and scored
four times on the ground.
Klein is the Heisman favorite,
throwing for 1,397 yards, 10 touch-
downs and scoring 14 rushing touch-
downs. He has only thrown two inter-
ceptions and been sacked five times.
Klein was sacked 42 times last season.
Though the offense has been
superb, the Wildcats defense might
be better. Against West Virginia, the
defense held the sixth-best passing
attack to just 155 yards. Also, the
defense is 17th in average points
against at 16.5.
Then, the team has coach Bill
Snyder, the most important piece to
the puzzle.
The three-time Big Eight coach of
the year and 1998 National Coach of
the Year knows how to win. Snyder
pounds the football and runs the
clock to limit opponents posses-
sions. He stresses the importance of
turnovers, and his team has only four
turnovers while causing 16 turnovers
this season. Most importantly, Snyder
takes an ordinary team and turns
the players into a powerful team.
And after the victory against West
Virginia, the schedule is rather easy
for the Wildcats. Kansas State plays
ranked teams down the stretch, but
the only game that could end in a loss
would be against Texas. However,
that game is in Manhattan.
The only thing stopping Kansas
State is undefeated teams. Between
Alabama and Florida, one of those
teams will lose. If Oregon loses, then
the road becomes less stressful, giving
Kansas State an edge.
Kansas State continues to shock
the world. An ordinary team that
doesnt do anything flashy flies under
the radar. After the dominating victo-
ry against West Virginia, the Wildcats
are seen as the real deal with a gritty
defense, Heisman-caliber quarterback
and genius coach.
All three add up to a lethal combi-
nation for a team that can find its way
to the BCS National Championship.

NORMAN, OKLA. Kansas
traveled to Oklahoma on
Saturday looking to build off its
fourth quarter performance last
week. Instead, the Jayhawks were
blown out of Norman, and the
Sooners had complete control
throughout the game, winning
52-7.
The Jayhawks defense came
into the game allowing 28 points
per game, and had held high-
scoring offenses Texas Christian
and Oklahoma State to just 20
points. Despite the momentum
the Jayhawks have had defensive-
ly this season, the Sooners moved
the ball and found the end zone
with relative ease. Oklahoma
scored 28 points alone in the sec-
ond quarter and went into half-
time with a 38-0 lead. It was the
largest halftime deficit Kansas
had faced all season.
It was all big plays in the pass-
ing game, Kansas coach Charlie
Weis said. I think Dave [Campo]
all year long has done a pretty
good job of mixing and matching
to try to make the quarterback
uncomfortable. Tonight it didnt
work so well.
Oklahoma senior quarterback
Landry Jones threw for 291 yards
and a season-high three touch-
down passes. Even when Kansas
tried to apply pressure on Jones,
he was given the protection he
needed from his offensive line,
and Jones executed by finding
three different players for touch-
downs.
Hes definitely one of the best
quarterbacks were going to face
this year, senior safety Bradley
McDougald said. Some of the
passes that he makes, you dont
see those in the college level. Hes
definitely a pro quarterback and
he showed it today.
As a team, Oklahomas offense
gained 397 total yards, and
the Sooners special teams unit
returned both a punt and kickoff
for touchdowns.
The first half was unaccept-
able, junior linebacker Huldon
Tharp said. In the second half,
we played even with them, which
is a positive note. It was just frus-
trating for everybody.
The most frustrating part
about Saturdays blowout loss
was that the defense struggled
and let Oklahoma do whatever it
wanted in the first half.
They just outplayed us, soph-
omore linebacker Ben Heeney
said. It was a pretty ugly game.
Kansas learned more about its
defense in this game and must
make adjustments before it hits
the field next week for the home-
coming game against the Texas
Longhorns.
Kansas now falls to 1-6 on the
season and is still seeking its first
conference victory. As painful
as it is to ride a six-game losing
streak, the Jayhawks know they
have to make this game a distant
memory.
We have a 24-hour rule where
you can celebrate or soak for 24
hours, Heeney said. But after
that, tomorrow you have to come
to work and get ready for next
week against Texas.

Getting her first start of the
season, sophomore outside hit-
ter Chelsea Albers blocked seven
balls for Kansas, including one
that changed the momentum of
the match for good.
The Jayhawks led the TCU
Horned Frogs 19-17 in the
fourth set, but TCU wouldnt let
Kansas go on any sort of run to
effectively end the match. But
off of a serve from junior libero
Brianne Riley, an extended rally
ensued that would either put
Kansas on the brink of victory
or give the Horned Frogs all the
momentum.
Albers made sure she put
Kansas on the brink of victory,
blocking senior outside hitter
Sloane Sunstrums attack and
giving Kansas a 20-17 lead.
I knew that our middles
would be stuck with their mid-
dles because they had been get-
ting a lot of kills, Albers said.
I think that you could see the
momentum definitely flip at that
point because fighting through a
minute-long rally is a lot of hard
work.
Fueled by Albers block,
Kansas won the fourth set 25-19
to win the match 3-1. The vic-
tory moved Kansas to 19-3 on
the season and 7-1 in conference
play.
Redshirt junior middle blocker
Caroline Jarmoc posted a career-
high 23 kills, and sophomore
outside hitter Sara McClinton
contributed 17 kills, three days
after recording 19 kills against
Kansas State. Senior middle
blocker Tayler Tolefree also
recorded 12 kills, the first time
since Oct. 6 that she reached
the double-digit mark in that
category.
Kansas was coming off an
impressive 3-1 victory over No.
14 Kansas State on Wednesday,
but there didnt seem to be the
same urgency against TCU.
Although Kansas won the first
two sets, they committed 19
attack errors while TCU com-
mitted only nine. Eight of the
Horned Frogs attack errors came
in the first set, when they hit a
paltry -.057. Kansas wasnt much
better, though, hitting .095 in the
first set.
The Jayhawks hit a much bet-
ter .350 in the second set, and 20
of their points came from kills.
However, they still committed
six errors, while TCU committed
only one. As good as Kansas hit-
ting percentage was, TCUs was
an even better .440.
There were times in the
match when we werent fully
engaged and that showed with
errors, Jarmoc said. Also we
were trying to find hands and
sometimes hands arent there so
the ball goes out.
Statistically, the Jayhawks
played much better in the third
set, with 16 kills, five blocks, and
a .324 hitting percentage. But
TCU still won the set, 25-22.
The Horned Frogs never got a
comfortable lead during the set,
but Kansas coach Ray Bechard
said the Jayhawks mentality
kept them from making TCU
too uncomfortable.
Sometimes we were playing
a little bit like Oh, we cant lose,
instead of Hey, lets go out and
win, Bechard said. And what I
thought you saw in the third set
was Hey, we cant lose. What I
thought you saw at the end of the
fourth set was Hey, we need to
go win. Theres a big difference
in those mentalities.
In whats becoming a trade-
mark of this Kansas team, the
Jayhawks were able to keep one
bad set from snowballing into a
bad match. Behind Jarmocs eight
kills, the Jayhawks hit .375 to
win the fourth set 25-19. In this
set, playing to win like Bechard
described, they committed fewer
attack errors than TCU for the
first time all match.
Despite the Jayhawks up-and-
down hitting, blocking remained
a strong point all match long.
Kansas blocked 12 balls, includ-
ing five in the third set. The
Jayhawks two blocks in the
fourth set came at the most criti-
cal of times, including Albers
block at the end. She led the
Jayhawks with three solo blocks
and four block assists, and
Tolefree added five block assists.
They were definitely more
of a spread-out block this time,
Jarmoc said. They were defi-
nitely worrying about our pins
a lot so T (Tolefree) and I were
able to go at their middles and
they werent moving laterally as
well so we could just beat them
with out speed.
The Jayhawks begin the
second round of Big 12 play
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on the
road against Iowa State.
