THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
KANSAN
Representatives from the
Universitys Ofce of IOA, the
Emily Taylor Center and the
School of Law spoke at an open
forum about sexual assault at
the KU Law School yesterday.
Te forum, titled Where Do
We Go from Here?, let the
panel answer questions about
procedure and also let law
students ask questions.
Te panel started with
defning sexual assault,
nonconsensual sex and
consent.
Te Universitys use of the
term non-consensual sex, as
opposed to the term rape has
created outrage with a lot of
students. Jane McQueeny,
director of IOA, said the term
is derived from a diferent
standard of evidence.
Te University uses a
standard of evidence referred
to as a preponderance of the
evidence, meaning it is more
than likely that the violation, an
assault in this case, occurred.
Tis means that anything with
over a 50-percent chance of
occurring is considered a high
enough standard to fnd a
student in violation of policy.
Law professor and panelist
Corey Yung said the term
is ofen used in university
policies and is not uncommon.
Its not meant to diminish
the crime, its just the language
thats been used in this area,
Yung said.
Te University uses the term
non-consensual sex because
the burden of proof is much
lower than in a criminal court
case.
Its not about applying the
criminal law to the University
context, its about looking at
things through a Student Code
of Conduct, Yung said.
Te panel also discussed the
typical procedure students will
go through if they choose to
fle a report with the IOA.
McQueeny said if someone
is accused of sexual assault,
the IOA cannot compel them
to speak with the ofce, but no
matter what, the ofce always
makes a decision.
Te IOA has 60 days to
investigate a report, and it can
also take measures on campus
to separate someone who fles
a complaint with whom it is
fled against.
Our frst conversation with
the complainant were going
to be asking about, What can
we do to assure your safety
on campus? What can we do
to ensure you are accessing
your educational benefts and
programs? McQueeny said.
Kathy Rose-Mockery,
director of the Emily Taylor
Center, said its hard to describe
a survivors experience because
every survivor is diferent, but
there is usually some level of
trauma.
I think the bottom line
is theres always a degree of
upset trauma, disorientation.
Its such a difcult, such an
intimate crime and violation
that I think we can be certain
that when anybody is on
the receiving end its very
disruptive, Rose-Mockery
said.
Rose-Mockery also said
someone can speak to those in
the Emily Taylor Center, but
that anyone who is a salaried
employee at the University
is a mandated reporter to
IOA. Rose-Mockery and
McQueeny also suggested
GaDuGi SafeCenter, Willow
Domestic Violence Center and
Counseling and Psychological
Services as resources for
students.
To me this is a problem,
Yung said. Its a problem that
goes well beyond KU. Its a
systemic disregard for rape
and sexual assault victims and
its a cycle where victims have
come to believe that reporting
gets nothing done and they
wont get justice and that cycle
feeds on itself over time.
Te panel was hopeful with
more education, conversations
and student involvement the
campus can continue to work
on this issue.
Te way were going to
move forward is by working
together as a campus, Rose-
Mockery said.
McQueeny shared similar
sentiments, and said she hopes
students take the lead.
I am just very encouraged
to see so many of you here
today, because this is an issue
for all of us and so I want to
say, I think that were waiting
for your ideas, waiting for
your leadership. We, my ofce,
Kathys ofce, were small
ofces, we can only do so
much. I would love to see the
students take initiative to start
programs, McQueeny said.
Rose-Mockery said
continuing dialogue and
informing students can
potentially create a change in
the culture.
Policies are extremely
important but the real goal
is to not have any crimes to
report, Rose-Mockery said.

Chabad offers
holiday services
Chabad at the University
will host celebrations for
Rosh Hashanah Wednesday
through Friday in an efort
to provide free services for
hundreds of students during
the Jewish holiday season.
Te frst event will be a
service welcoming the New
Year at 7 p.m. today.
Rosh Hashanah is the
Jewish New Year and
will begin afer sundown
Wednesday and will
continue through nightfall
Friday. Tis is the end of
the 5,775 year on the Jewish
calendar.
One of the main difculties
for many students looking to
celebrate the holiday is cost
of services. Rabbi Zalman
Tiechtel said Chabads
event is made afordable for
students.
We want every single
Jewish person to feel like
they belong, Tiechtel said.
Tere should be no barriers
standing between people
and their beliefs. We dont
want students to have to
sacrifce money to be with
their friends and family.
We choose not to charge
in order to make [services]
as accessible, relevant and
engaging as possible.
Matt Engelson, a freshman
from Dallas, appreciates the
relaxed atmosphere of the
holiday services.
I think its really great that
the Rabbi is so accepting
of everybodys Jewish
backgrounds and that the
important thing isnt how
much you know, but just
that you want to be there
with other Jews celebrating,
Engelson said. Tats
the most important part,
experiencing and enjoying
together, not how religious
you have been in the past or
your fnancial background.
Chabad will also host
morning and evening
services Oct. 3 and 4 to
celebrate Yom Kippur, the
Jewish Day of Atonement.
Tis day is considered
the holiest on the Jewish
calendar and is honored
through fasting, prayer and
personal refection.
Tiechtel said the coming
weeks of activities are his
favorite.
My favorite part without
a question is getting to meet
KU students who dont
regularly engage with their
own Jewish community,
Tiechtel said. I love
meeting fellow Jewish
people so when so many
new students come for the
holidays, it brings me great
joy. Its a very powerful time
in the Jewish calendar and
it is a spiritually energizing
time to think about the past
year and how we want to
grow.
Engelson is looking
forward to new holiday
traditions at the University,
since he cant be with his
family.
Tis Rosh Hashanah
will be diferent since Ive
celebrated all of the previous
ones with my family, but the
environment here at KU
and with KU Chabad is so
welcoming, Engelson said.
Its like theyve already
become my new family.

Tina Carson is the recently hired massage therapist at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Watkins hired Carson after massage therapy services topped the list of student requests for expanded medical services.
Students asked, and
Student Health Services
answered: Massage therapy
services will now officially
be available for both
students and staff at Watkins
Health Center.
Diana Malott, associate
director of Student Health
Services, said staff at Watkins
started asking students last
semester about expanding
the medical services they
offer. Massage services were
at the top of the list.
We just want to answer
the student voice, said Heidi
Garcia, the program director
for Student Health Services.
We are always listening,
and trying to serve students
all of their health care needs
under one roof.
To follow through, Watkins
recently hired Tina Carson
as its massage therapist.
After 16 years of working
in fitness centers, spas and
private practices, Carson
wanted to find a place that
would allow her to really
make a difference.
I want to help students
take better care of
themselves, Carson said.
Stress is a major issue for
everyone, but especially
university students. Massage
is a great way to combat this
excessive stress.
To Carson, massage
therapy is a form of
preventative health care.
Nobody questions other
people when they go to the
gym, Carson said. Massage
therapy is the same thing
people taking care of their
bodies.
In order to ensure that busy
students take full advantage
of the massage services at
Watkins, Carson will be
available for convenient
15-minute appointments, as
well as longer appointments
ranging up to an hour.
Students and staff can
choose a wide variety of
massage options, including
Swedish, therapeutic, deep-
tissue, aromatherapy and
many more.
Massage services at
Watkins will also be offered
at a reduced price, compared
to other businesses, Garcia
said.
Students wont have to go
off campus to a salon or spa,
Garcia said. We are offering
this right here, and our
services are more than likely
cheaper than alternative
options. Additionally,
students who have already
paid their health fee will be
getting a discounted price.
Carson also wants to
ensure that hesitance isnt
an issue when it comes
to utilizing the massage
therapy services.
Everybody could benefit
from a massage, Carson
said. In the past, Ive
known people that were
apprehensive because
of self-consciousness or
modesty issues; however,
everyone should know that
its a health care service. Its
relaxing and medical and
not to mention private.
To make an appointment
call (785) 864-9507.

CONFLICT CONTINUES
Students engage in conversations about Israel, Gaza tensions
Te confict between Israel and the
State of Palestine that escalated this
summer marked another period of
violence in a long history of tension
between the two.
Operation Protective Edge, the name
given to Israels military operations,
began July 8, and by the end, the death
toll rose to more than 2,200. Tough
many of the bombing victims in Gaza
were civilians, pro-Israeli students
such as Evan Rakoover and Becca
Levine say the confict is between
Israel and Hamas, not Israel and the
Palestinians. Hamas, a Palestinian
Islamist organization and the central
governing body of the Palestinian
people, is considered a terrorist
organization by pro-Israeli students,
as well as the United Kingdom and the
United States.
Evan Rakoover, a junior from
Austin, Texas, said Israel cannot work
with Hamas because Hamas calls for
the destruction of Israel.
Becca Levine, a junior from
St. Louis and president of Jayhawks for
Israel, agreed the confict was not with
Palestinian civilians. She said Israelis
tried to help Palestinian civilians and
get them the resources they needed
every day during the confict.
Kansan: What do you think about
the blockade of Gaza?
Levine: From what I understand, it
was both an Israeli and Palestinian
thing happening the blockade.
Te Palestinian government Hamas
was telling civilians that they were
not allowed to leave and there would
be repercussions if they did cross
over into Israel, which many of them
needed to do in order to get food, water
and medical care that they needed.
Tey were trapped within their own
country and were not receiving
supplies because all the money that
was being funded from the U.S. and
from Israel Israel gave so much
money to Palestine was being used
for those terror tunnels, so there were
not those resources that they needed.
Israelis every single day were trying
to bring resources to the Palestinian
civilians and were blockaded out, so
Israelis were risking their lives to go
save the Palestinian civilian lives and
were blockaded out by Hamas groups
telling them they couldnt go in and
help their people.
Kansan: What should Americans
know that they dont know about the
confict?
Levine: Tey need to educate
themselves more than photos
and articles on Facebook because
Pro-Palestinians have called this
summers confict between Israel and
Gaza, as well as the ongoing confict,
severely oppressive. Tey stand up for
civilians who have lost loved ones, lost
their own lives or lost their feeling of
security.
Salman Husain, a senior from
Wichita and president of KU Students
for Justice in the Middle East, said he
believes the injustice must be stopped.
Te student organization stands
for justice which includes freedom,
security, self-determination and
universally-recognized human rights.
Suha Najjar, a spring graduate from
the University of Michigan, is now
living in Gaza. Husain met Najjar at
the second annual Students for Justice
in Palestine conference in October
2012. Tough Najjar was born in
Gaza and has made multiple trips to
see her family there, she grew up in
the United States. She said she always
felt a connection to Gaza and planned
to move there. She moved to Gaza
in June, a few days before Operation
Protective Edge began.
Kansan: What have been some of
your personal feelings toward whats
been happening? What have been
some of your personal reactions?
Husain: Its really tough because
you see in Gaza especially, which
has borne the brunt of violence
you see violence on both sides, but
Gaza has had over 2,000 people that
have perished, and Israel has had
about 60 soldiers and maybe like
fve or six civilians that have died.
In Gaza there have been about 400
children that have died. Its really
disheartening to see these buildings
that ofen house entire families and
within fve minutes or a minute
even an airstrike can demolish
an entire family, can demolish their
entire livelihood, can demolish their
possessions, everything that they
own. Entire families are being wiped
out, and the vast majority of them are
nonviolent, are committed to peace
but dont have any way of moving to a
safe place once again returning to the
blockade of Gaza. Tats whats even
more frustrating to see that people
are functionally trapped within their
homes.
Kansan: What have you experienced
in Gaza?
Najjar: No 30 minutes would pass by
without hearing at least two or three
ambulances. Tere were sirens going
of. You would hear an explosion
and then you would hear the sirens.
Another sound that was familiar was
whenever there was an explosion, you
would hear car sirens. Because of how
hard they hit, the car would shake.
Te car alarms would go of. Te
sounds of specifc types of explosions
became very familiar to me, so I

knew the diference between
an F-16, between a rocket,
between tank shells, between
all of them. Each one of them
instilled a certain type of fear.
Tank shells and I dont
know what theyre called, but
from the beach, from the ships
they would fre explosions
from the ships. Tose were
typically the most scary for me
because those are not targeted.
Teyre just random.
Kansan: Do you think the
average American is aware of
the support the U.S. gives to
Israel and what its used for?
Husain: I think absolutely
not. I think that the American
government has established
this narrative and its elected
representatives and many
of the American people
genuinely believe this, that
Israel is under constant
danger and that Israel is
the victim in this situation.
While we see that Israel has
been subjected to danger
certainly, we ignore the part
of the narrative that says
Israel is also oppressing. Israel
has colonized Palestinian
land. Israel has recreated
apartheid in the Middle East.
Were deliberately leaving
out this part of the narrative
and enforcing a narrative of
victimhood.
Kansan: How do you think
the blockade of Gaza played a
part in this summers confict?
Najjar: Te blockade I think
defnitely played a role in that
it made Hamas all these
survivor skills came out. Te
tunnels were created and
another very important thing
was the psychological warfare
that it creates for Palestinians.
Palestinians cant move freely
in and out of the Gaza Strip.
Life in the Gaza Strip if you
look, a lot of the youth just
want to leave the Gaza Strip.
Tey just hate it here because
of how they dont have access
to things that are very basic
to the majority of the human
population outside or to
the West at least. I think the
blockade was a huge form of
oppression.

Gov. Sam Brownback will
sign a proclamation Friday
to declare October as Zom-
bie Preparedness Month,
Brownbacks press secre-
tary said. The signing is at
11 a.m. in the governors cer-
emonial office at the Kansas
Statehouse.
Zombie Preparedness
Month comes in response
to the increasing presence
of zombies in the media that
may lead to public panic, a
press release from the gover-
nor's office said. The release
said the Kansas Division of
Emergency Management
hopes if people are prepared
for zombies, theyll be pre-
pared for anything.
Zombie Preparedness
Month is truly just a way to
encourage people to be pre-
pared for any emergency sit-
uation, whether it be winter
weather, a natural disaster
or anything else, said Eileen
Hawley, press secretary for
Brownback.
This preparedness includes
a survival kit, which has
supplies to last at least three
days, and an emergency plan.
Those interested in learn-
ing more about emergency
and zombie preparedness
can attend an event Oct. 25
from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at
the Crestview Shelter House,
4901 SW Shunga Dr., in To-
peka. The first 300 people re-
ceive a free disaster-on-the-

theyre not all written by
educated sources. A lot of these
are opinion articles, so theyre
going to come from peoples
religious backgrounds or
peoples cultural backgrounds.
You have to ask yourself, Do
these people actually study
this confict? Another thing is
that its not new. Its not a new
confict. Tis is not something
that just came up. Tis has
been going on for centuries.
I think its going to bring
about an entire new question
about religion in general and
where religion is going in the
world. Tats the main source
of this confict: religion and
territory. It all comes back to
biblical text, so where is the
importance of the Bible.
Kansan: What do you think
Israel should do?
Rakoover: I believe Israel
should defnitely not work with
Hamas. You cant work with
someone who says, I want
to kill you if I get the option.
What Israel should do is work
with the Palestinian Authority,
but the only way that can work
is if the Palestinian Authority
cuts ties with Hamas.
Kansan: How do you think
the blockade plays a role in the
confict?
Rakoover: Te blockade was
created in 2005 afer Israel gave
this land to the Palestinian
people to do what they wanted
with it. And afer that you
had suicide bombers being
sent into Israel, blowing up
buses, hospitals, government
buildings, anything, which
people dont remember that
time, which is why theres a
blockade now.
Kansan: Do you think the
media has played a role in the
way people have viewed this
confict? What should the
media be doing diferently to
portray this confict fairly?
Rakoover: One thing that
media looks at is human
emotion. Obviously, being a
human being, the frst thing
youre drawn to is human
emotion, tears, sympathy. You
look at a homeless person
on the street and youre
automatically drawn to them
regardless of whether you help
them or not because you feel
for it being a human being and
the emotions that come with
that. Obviously I would hope
the media would look at not
just those emotions and believe
the emotions of what theyre
hearing, but look at the whole
to get a better understanding
for certain conficts.

Victim blaming is wrong, but we cannot be nave
By Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
E
ach year, Student
Senate reviews
a charge of
student campus fees for
SafeRide and SafeBus.
An approved charge of
$16.30 from each student
allows SafeRide to run
three to eight cars, seven
nights a week for most
of the year. SafeRide
has generally run this
way since its second
incarnation in 1989 and
is the oldest university
program of its kind in
the country. Jayhawks
have set the standard,
and that is something
to be proud of.
SafeBus began years
later, in 2007, as an effort
to serve high traffic areas
on the weekends when
SafeRide was becoming
overwhelmed with
incoming calls. In other
words, SafeBus exists
precisely to pick up
SafeRides slack.
When SafeBus is in
service, the SafeRide
dispatcher still may
get 150 or more calls
in a night. It is simply
unreasonable to expect
eight cars funded by
modest campus fees
to function as an
unselective, speedy taxi
service especially on
these nights. With this
in mind, the student
members of the Transit
Commission set the
policy of referring
students currently
within and living within
a quarter-mile of one
SafeBus route to take
SafeBus instead. This
was not done as a slight
against students. It was
done with pragmatic
purpose, taking into
account both the budget
and the interests of
students.
If you dislike how
these services function
and want a say in the
policy, your voice is
absolutely welcome. You
can email us and/or join
the Transit Commission.
These services were
created, funded and
utilized by students,
and should therefore
continue to be shaped by
students.
If you are planning
on taking SafeRide,
I strongly encourage
you to keep proof of
residency with you
because our priority is
only to get you home. If
you are not a candidate
for a SafeRide when
SafeBus is running, and
you are unsure how
SafeBus works, email
kuonwheels@ku.edu or
call (785) 864-4644 to
get detailed information
on how to ride.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
FFA OF THE DAY

Autumn is here! Let the overdose of Pumpkin

Spice Latts by basic white girls commence!

A
good friend
of mine was
recently a victim
of a Craigslist scam. He
posted his couch on the
site, and a guy offered
to buy it and send him
extra money for moving
expenses. Eventually
he received a cashiers
check for $1,800 more
than the asking price. He
deposited the check and
wired the buyer back the
extra funds. As you can
imagine, the check did not
go through and my friend
was out $1,800 of his
own money. During this
ordeal, we all warned him
not to wire the money
and having deposited
the initial check was an
unwise decision.
What were we doing?
Essentially, by a broad
definition, we were victim
blaming. As the victim of
the crime, we held him
either entirely or partially
responsible for the
situation.
When people ask a
sexual assault victim
how much they drank or
what they were wearing,
we are victim blaming.
When someones home
or car is robbed and we
inquire whether they
locked the doors, we are
victim blaming. When we
criticize hacked celebrities
for taking nude photos
in the first place, we are
victim blaming.
In all these situations,
the fault lies with the
assaulter, thief or hacker.
Their actions are immoral
and all the blame rests
with them. Victim
blaming is wrong, and we
should avoid doing it in
all scenarios.
To say that we do not
properly educate students
about their risks and
how to mitigate them
is irresponsible and a
prime example of how
the blame is upon the
victim. However, it is
nave of us to say that
we should not be aware
of the consequences that
can occur if we are not
properly informed.
Sexual assault, robbery,
murder and all other
crimes will continue to
occur, but thinking we
should be able to live
however we please is
impractical. There will
be victims. We should
instead teach people
how to mitigate our risk
of becoming another
statistic. That may
mean we cannot drink
as much as wed prefer,
and maybe we cant
walk alone at night. We
need to eliminate the
opportunities of becoming
a victim, but how can we
prevent an opportunity
from occurring?
First, we need to
educate men and women
that alcohol does make
them more vulnerable.
Unfortunately, updating
sexual assault education
always occurs when
attention is brought on
it; similar to changing
gun policies after a highly
publicized shooting. We
need to educate students
on how to avoid becoming
a perpetrator or a victim,
especially in cases of
sexual assault. Some
people believe silence
signifies consent, or do
not know that incapacity
does not signify consent.
This should be clarified
and taught so that crimes
can be prevented.
The discourse on sexual
assault right now involves
how the perpetrator
should be punished, and
how to determine what
is punitive enough. But
we must also discuss
how to prevent sexual
assault and other crimes
from occurring in the
first place. If I can warn
someone to lock their
door when they leave the
house, why is it wrong
to caution someone to
watch what they drink, or
to not walk home alone?
We cannot let our fear
of victim blaming create
more victims. People
should know better than
to commit crimes, but
they are going to happen
regardless of how many
times we say to stop.
Yes, we need to stop
sexual assault from
happening, but that
doesnt mean we shouldnt
recognize the ways to
avoid it. Watch how much
you drink, dont accept
drinks from people you
dont know, stay close to
friend groups be smart.
Anti-victim blaming does
little to reduce crime, and
that should be the goal.

Te Daily Show produc-
ers set it up this way: Four
Washington Redskins fans
who favor keeping the football
teams name were invited to a
discussion with a cast member.
Ten, to their surprise, eight
Native Americans entered the
room and challenged their
viewpoints. Ryan Red Corn, a
KU graduate and co-founder
of a comedy improv group, the
1491s, was one of the eight.
It got heated and turned
into the predictable cyclical
conversation, Red Corn said.
I had a good conversation
with one of the fans once the
cameras were of. He was real-
ly respectful, but I dont think I
changed his mind.
Red Corn said appearing on
the show was a microcosm
of what a Native American
experiences when going to a
Redskins game.
Te Daily Show episode
is set to air this week, either
Wednesday or Tursday. For
Red Corn, the appearance is
the latest in 14 years of public
eforts to add Native American
perspectives to the national
consciousness.
Te problem is that nar-
rative is almost empty, Red
Corn said. Te narrative is
controlled by non-Native en-
tities. Tats 150 years of noble
savage stuf that gets wrapped
up into mascots, flms, books,
products for butter, themed
college parties, gets wrapped
up into everything.
Te 1491s, which has fve
members, is named for the
year before Christopher Co-
lumbus came to America. Te
group is one of several projects
Red Corn has been involved
in since graduating from the
University in 2004. A member
of the Osage tribe, he was the
treasurer of the First Nations
Student Association on cam-
pus.
Red Corn said he was angry
at that time because he felt
University administration was
unsupportive of FNSA. He
said he felt the local media had
portrayed Native Americans
unfairly, misquoting them and
giving more attention to nega-
tive stories than positive ones.
He channeled those emo-
tions into his art. Red Corn
graduated with a bachelors
degree of fne arts in Visual
Communications with an em-
phasis in graphic design. He
immediately started his now
defunct T-shirt business.
If you look at the art that
was on [the T-shirts], its a lot
of super angry activist art,
Red Corn said. It was out of
the environment at KU and
out of the environment of the
high school that I attended in
Kansas that really framed up
my anger. Really focused my
anger into that type of enter-
prise.
For example, one of
Red Corns T-shirts depicted
the top-hatted character from
the board game Monopoly
lying on his back in a pool of
blood with a knife in his chest
above the words End Pover-
ty. Another design showed
an image of Mount Rushmore
with Vandalism written un-
derneath in spray-paint letter-
ing. Another had Build Com-
munity with the i dotted
with a fst.
Tese days, Red Corns takes
a more upbeat approach. He
can trace his change in ap-
proach to one moment in
particular. In 2009, Red Corn
appeared in the flm Barking
Water, which is a road movie
about a dying Native Amer-
ican man trying to reconcile
with his family. Red Corn had
a comic relief role. He traveled
with the flm to its screenings
and watched the audience
members their reactions to
the flm and especially what
made them laugh. He saw that
even in serious matters, hu-
mor was powerful.
Just watching 300 Natives
bust out laughing created an
ah-ha moment where I real-
ized how much more pow-
erful that was than what I
had been doing and where
I was putting my energy,
Red Corn said.
Shortly afer that, Red Corn
and Sterlin Harjo, the writer
and director of Barking Wa-
ter, co-founded the 1491s,
which performs live, most fre-
quently on college campuses.
About 100 of the groups com-
edy sketches can be viewed on
its YouTube channel.
In one such video, Red Corn,
in a headdress and a loincloth
made of dishtowels, dances
around an Indian Art Market
in Santa Fe, N.M. He said the
video is a parody of the com-
mercialization of Native art
work.
Red Corn said he uses hu-
mor to increase a messages
reach because it makes it more
palatable. Its more efective in
getting people to modify their
behavior.
People are willing to listen
longer if theyre entertained,
Red Corn said. Te Daily
Show uses the exact same tac-
tic.
Red Corn and Harjo also
created a short flm Smiling
Indians. Te flm seeks to di-
versify visual images of Native
Americans. Te project was
featured on Indian Country
Today Media Network and
twice on NPR.
Red Corn is also the art di-
rector at Bufalo Nickel Cre-
ative, an advertising agency
headquartered in his home-
town of Pawhuska, Okla., on
the Osage Nation reservation.
Red Corn co-founded the
company, which specializes
in web branding for Native
American businesses.
Red Corns work represents a
change in how Native Amer-
icans have been portrayed
throughout history. He said
that almost everything pub-
lished about Native Amer-
icans for the last 150 years
came from this process of a
white person talking to a Na-
tive American and writing
down what they thought they
meant. Tat author then has
to go through a white editor,
publisher and distributer, to
ultimately be sold to white
consumers.
Red Corn said its not just a
lack of diversity in the me-
dia; its the numbers. Native
Americans dont represent a
big enough advertising base,
and that element of the econ-
omy dictates the narrative.
Red Corn said the democra-
tization of the Internet is what
allows for a diferent process
with a new set of messages.
No ones telling us what
to say, Red Corn said. No
ones telling us what should or
shouldnt go in there and no
ones telling us who has access
to it, because were putting it
out there for everybody to see.
Te Daily Show will be
Red Corns biggest stage yet.
He said hes unsure how much
it will show of the discus-
sion or a trip they made to a
Redskins tailgate, but he said
it advances his goal. Red Corn
said Te Daily Show recog-
nizes humor can be an avenue
for social change and is one of
the best at using it in that way.
Te Daily Show is on the
top of that pile, Red Corn
said. Teyve really mastered
that as a craf. Its amazing to
watch. Its phenomenal how
much great content they kick
out. Its just awesome to be
considered to be worthy of
being recognized in that same
capacity.

Tea, juice bar opens in West Lawrence
Cibo Sano offers new way to serve Italian food
Dan Blomgren opened his
frst business in 1988, just
three months afer he grad-
uated from the University.
Recently he opened an Italian
restaurant, Cibo Sano Italian
Grille, at 4821 West 6th St.,
near the intersection of 6th
and Wakarusa. Te white
and maroon interior of the
restaurant operates like an
Italian version of Chipotle.
Te restaurant ofers a new
way to enjoy Italian food
through a variety of toppings
and ingredients that custom-
ers can add to their selected
main dish cibos, which are
hand-rolled fat breads, pasta
bowls or salads.
Blomgren said he decided
to open up his restaurant in
Lawrence because he was
raised here. Blomgren grad-
uated from the University in
1988 with a degree in Liber-
al Arts and Sciences. He has
been living in Lawrence since
1983, which he said has al-
lowed him to become famil-
iar with the area.
Blomgrens frst business
started as small liquor store,
but quickly grew into what is
now known as Cork and Bar-
rel, located at 2000 W. 23rd
St., next to Cicis Pizza. Afer
his success with the frst Cork
and Barrel, he opened his
second location on 9th and
Mississippi Street in 2001.
Blomgren sold both locations
at the end of 2008 afer he
gained interest in pursuing
a diferent style of business:
restaurants.
I believe in my product,
Blomgren said. He said afer
selling the liquor stores, he
had extra time on his hands
and took up cooking for fun
until he realized it turned
into a passion. He has been
serving his food to his fami-
ly and friends for a long time
and the feedback has always
been positive.
Blomgren opened Cibo
Sano Italian Grille on Sept.
16, afer three months of re-
designing the interior and
ordering equipment for the
restaurant. Cibo Sano of-
cially took over the space that
was formerly a Quiznos in
June. Blomgren said its his
frst restaurant he owns and
manages by himself.
I came up with the idea
several years ago, and I was
waiting for the economy
to improve, he said. Until
Blomgren landed his busi-
ness at its current location, he
said he had to sit on the side-
line until the space became
available.
Lindsy Stroda, an employee
at Cibo Sano, said she enjoys
her time at the restaurant and
started working the day it
opened.
I thought it was a really
cool idea in the beginning,
she said. Dan is a really cool
guy. He is defnitely a busi-
nessman for sure, but he is
also a peoples guy as well. He
always brings a cool vibe to
our workplace.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Migizi Pensoneau, Bobby Wilson, Jason Jones and Ryan Red Corn lm at a
Redskins tailgate as part of an episode for The Daily Show. Red Corns episode
this week will show what a Native American experiences at a Redskins game.
When Lisa Green and her
immediate family her
father, sister and 9-year-old
niece were all diagnosed
with celiac disease in 2010,
they were forced to change
their diets and turn to health-
ier alternatives.
Green, along with her
mother, opened t. Lof, a tea
and juice bar, last month. It
is located at 4801 Bauer Farm
Dr. in Lawrence. Everything
at t. Lof is homemade, from
the drinks to the food, and
even the furniture.
Green was inspired to open
the location afer seeing the
success her sister, Jill Minton,
had afer opening two loca-
tions in Kansas City more
than a year ago. Green said
her sister started drinking
a lot of tea to heal her body
afer she was diagnosed with
celiac disease. From this,
Minton developed the t. Lof
concept.
Green says the restaurants
initiative is to provide a
healthy option and an educa-
tional outlet for people both
with and without celiac dis-
ease.
Green is a Washburn Uni-
versity graduate, but said she
is a big KU fan, and decided
to open a t. Lof location in
Lawrence afer living here for
18 years. She said she thought
it would be a good resource
with convenient, gluten-free
food options for college stu-
dents.
When the location opened,
Green said she felt nervous,
but excited. She said the en-
tire family was hard at work
setting up the restaurant until
the opening hour. Greens fa-
ther bought a fre pit made by
Leavenworth prisoners and
added long legs and a circular
glass cover. He then engraved
a KU emblem into its center.
Greens brother-in-law made
swings that hang from the
ceiling. Green said that these
elements combined to create
a cozy place to hang out a
lofy place.
Marybeth Mermis, Green
and Mintons mother and
store owner of the Lawrence
location, said Minton ofen
traveled for business and
struggled to fnd gluten-free
options on-the-go. Mer-
mis said many restaurants
serve gluten and non-gluten
items, but they do not always
change their gloves or cut-
ting boards, resulting in cross
contamination of the food.
Mermis said drinks were also
neglected when it came to
healthy alternatives at restau-
rants.
Afer doing thorough re-
search on celiac disease and
preventative methods, Min-
ton started selling tea and
tea-infused drinks that con-
sisted of fruit and simple
syrups at a farmers market,
Mermis said. Once her tea
business started thriving, she
decided to eliminate syrups
and any added sugars.
Minton decided to open
a restaurant that would in-
corporate juices, protein
balls, baked goods and other
healthy items.
t. Lof ofers 28 diferent
kinds of teas, hot or iced,
and 15 cleansing juices, as
well as smoothies, healthy
shooters, protein drinks and
clean eats. A unique food t.
Lof ofers is protein balls.
Protein balls consist of nuts,
honey, maple, oats and spices
and come in favors such as
pecan pie with cashew but-
ter nut crust, peanut butter
and Nutella. Healthy desserts
such as gluten-free poppy
seed mufns and sweet pota-
to brownies are also ofered.
More traditional menu items
include oatmeal, salads and
yogurt parfaits. t. Lof added
two new protein shakes to the
menu as well: almond dream
and funky monkey.
t. Lof also ofers a cleanse
program, where customers
can get a daily dose of four
juices, homemade almond
milk, a salad and a protein
ball. Te most popular is a
three-day cleanse that in-
cludes food prepared to be
picked up daily by the client
before 8:00 a.m.
Beth Young, a Lawrence
resident and t. Lof regu-
lar, said she has a hard time
fnding gluten-free options at
restaurants and for snacks.
At frst, I freaked out, I was
like what . . . am I going to
eat, Young said.
Both Young and her daugh-
ter have celiac disease, and
Young said eliminating these
food allergies from their diets
has improved their well-be-
ing and energy.
We are hoping because of
our journey, we can help oth-
er people too, Mermis said.

Te study, released Monday
by the University of South-
ern California, also contains
some surprises such as that
Chinese movies are more gen-
der-balanced than American
flms.
Women made up 35 percent
of characters in Chinese flms,
compared with 29.3 percent in
American movies, according
to researchers at USC's An-
nenberg School for Commu-
nication and Journalism. And
women directed 16.7 percent
of Chinese flms during the pe-
riod studied January 2010 to
May 1, 2013 as compared to
none of the U.S. flms.
"It is a critical time ... for the
entertainment industry as they
expand into international terri-
tories, and particularly China,"
said Stacy L. Smith, director of
the Media, Diversity, & Social
Change Initiative at Annen-
berg. "My interest was in ... un-
derstanding what audiences in
growing markets might already
be watching."
One of several recent reports
to look at the portrayal of wom-
en in media, the study entitled
"Gender Bias Without Borders"
examined female characters in
Australia, Brazil, China, France,
Germany, India, Japan, Rus-
sia, South Korea and the U.K.
Overall, researchers found that
there were 2.24 male characters
for every female character, and
that only 23.4 percent of flms
had a female protagonist.
Films from Britain (37.9 per-
cent), Brazil (37.1 percent) and
South Korea (35.9 percent) had
the highest percentage of fe-
male characters, while Indian
flms (24.9 percent) lagged.
Among the 120 flms studied,
researchers found that overall
women accounted for 7 per-
cent of directors, 19.8 percent
of writers and 22.7 percent of
producers.
In countries with more female
content creators, there tended
to be more women on screen
as well.
Britain, where 27.3 percent
of directors and 59 percent of
writers were female, had the
highest percentage of female
characters in its flms. It's also
the country that provided the
lone example of a female pro-
tagonist in a high-profle polit-
ical position Meryl Streep's
Margaret Tatcher in the 2011
flm "Te Iron Lady," which had
both a female director (Phyllida
Lloyd) and writer (Abi Mor-
gan).
Women were unlikely to play
the roles of powerful executives
or politicians in any country, re-
searchers found. When they did
appear in such roles, the parts
were ofen small or unusual:
One character, a fctional rep-
resentation of German Chan-
cellor Angela Merkel, had no
lines; another, a woman rallying
her constituents to fght global
warming, was an elephant.
Women were also far less likely
than men to be cast as judges (5
percent), lawyers (9.1 percent),
doctors (14.8 percent) and pro-
fessors (5.9 percent).
In many of the countries re-
searchers studied, womens' real
world employment far exceed-
ed their onscreen portrayals.
Although women comprise
47.4 percent of the workforce
in France, for instance, they're
only 18.8 percent of the work-
force in French flms.
Te study also examined at
how female characters' sex-
uality was presented in each
country, such as whether wom-
en appeared partly nude or in
sexy attire. At 39.9 percent of
female characters, Germany's
women were the most likely to
be scantily clad, compared to
11.6 percent in South Korea.
"Just like in the U.S., we are
not seeing fctional female pow-
er brokers in popular flms,"
Smith said. "Tis is unfortunate,
as stories are only a function of
the imagination, and creativity
should not be constrained by
gender."

in all aspects of the lm industry

LOS ANGELES Network
executives have talked for years
about the need for more diver-
sity in their programming. But
all you have to do is watch TV
to realize how far of they are
from refecting the real ethnic
makeup of this country.
Larry Wilmore, executive pro-
ducer of the new ABC comedy
"Black-ish," and the rest of the
"Black-ish" cast and crew are
looking to change that view.
"Tis show kind of celebrates
black more as a cultural thing
than a race thing. At the heart
of it, it's a family show and it's
about basically a father who
feels like he may have given his
kids too much. And whenever
you give your kids a lot, some-
thing is always lost," Wilmore
says. "We have so many people
from so many diferent groups,
immigrant groups and diferent
ethnic identities, who can relate
to this where their kids, when
they assimilate, something is
lost in their own culture."
In "Black-ish," Anthony An-
derson plays the concerned
father who believes his family
has forgotten their heritage.
Afer his son asks to have a bar
mitzvah (and the family isn't
Jewish), he decides to try to
re-educate his children.
Te plot line of the bar mitz-
vah comes directly from An-
derson.
His 12-year-old son told him
he just didn't "feel black." An-
derson realized that his success
allowed him to give his son a
diferent lifestyle than the one
he knew growing up in Comp-
ton.
"Te existence that my son
knows is nothing short of priv-
ilege. Being in private school
since the age of four and his sur-
roundings in that environment
is what he was referring to.
And I was like, Well, son, this
is your black experience. Tat
black experience that you have
right now is diferent than the
experience that I had growing
up, " Anderson says. "He got it
and understood it. And then in
the same breath, he said, 'Okay,
Dad. For my 13th birthday, I
want a bar mitzvah.'
"I look him dead in his eye,
and I said, 'So you really aren't
black?' Let me just fgure out
how I'm going to do this."
Anderson's solution of giving
his son a hip-hop bro mitzvah
has been worked into the com-
edy series. A photo album of the
event was used when Anderson
pitched the idea for the series to
the network.
Part of the humor in the show
is at the expense of the mother
played by Tracee Ellis Ross
being of mixed race. Te
actress was attracted to the role
because that's exactly the life
she's lived.
"As a mixed girl, you're con-
stantly 'Are you black? Are you
white?' I'm like why do I have to
be either. And so it's this idea
of what is race, what is black,
and what is this conversation?
I think it's a conversation that
everyone is already having and,
yes, we are telling it specifcally
from this point of view, but it
is a universal conversation, es-
pecially in this day and age in
the world that we live in today,"
Ross said.
Rounding out the family is
Lawrence Fishburne, who plays
Anderson's father. It's a very
diferent role for the actor who
has tended to gravitate toward
more dramatic TV series such
as CSI" and "Hannibal." His
willingness to take on a network
sitcom came from what he saw
in the script and conversations
with the producers.
"Ultimately our country is
black-ish. We've all been bor-
rowing little bits and pieces
of culture from each other
for however long we've been
around," Fishburne says. "It was
the conversation about our lives
and just the stuf that we have
to deal with in our lives, yes,
as black men in America, but
those things are always chang-
ing and shifing and growing.

This image released by ABC shows Lawrence Fishburne and Tracee Ellis
Ross in a scene from the comedy Black-ish, premiering tonight.
With fve games remaining on the
schedule, the Kansas City Royals sit
at 86-71 following a 7-1 win against
the Cleveland Indians and are three
games ahead of the Seattle Mariners
for the second wild-card spot.
Te Royals had quite the incon-
sistent season, but a successful one
nonetheless. One of the best bull-
pens in baseball and stout felding
play has carried them through 2014.
When a team is called inconsistent,
its certainly not viewed as a strong
suit. But for the Royals, inconsisten-
cy may be what leads them deep into
October.
Lets be clear. Im not saying the
fact that Kansas Citys unpredictabil-
ity is a good thing, but if you look
at it, it may not be the worst thing
either. Teyre a streaky team, one
that will go on a 10-game tear, then
lose six of its next seven, like it did
in June.
Before Monday, the last time the
Royals won two games in a row was
Sept. 3 and Sept. 5. In that 16-game
stretch, they dropped 10 games, fve
coming to nonplayof caliber teams
in the Yankees, White Sox and Red
Sox. Te other four losses come to
division-rival Detroit.
So we can agree that from Sept. 5 to
Sept. 22, the Royals were exhibiting
the inconsistencies that drove their
fans mad. One major cause of this
inconsistency has been the hitting
of two key players. Billy Butler and
Alex Gordon hit for a combined .150
batting average during that stretch
(15 hits in 100 at bats), as compared
to a .290 batting average in August
(63 hits in 217 at bats). Yet, afer
carrying a 7-9 record through that
mid-September slump, Kansas City
still sits at 86-71 with fve games
remaining.
Te 2014 Kansas City Royals have
defed logic throughout the year, not
having great (or even good) hitting
at various points in the season and
being lifed by pitching and felding.
Ten seemingly out of nowhere,
Royals batters began hitting, and the
pitching and felding remained the
same as it has the entire season.
When Kansas Citys batters do
wake up and begin hitting, this team
is one of the most formidable, bal-
anced teams in all of baseball. And
the pattern of the season has been
for the hitters to do so afer a faulty
few weeks, which is where the team
sits today.
If the Royals do end up making it
to the postseason, and are able to
make it past a one-game playof, if
need be, theres no telling how far
a good hitting streak could car-
ry them. Kansas Citys bullpen is
almost impeccable, and its defense is
close to that category as well. If the
ofense picks up its slack, specifcally
Gordon and Butler, these Royals are
going to be a huge pain in the you-
know-what for any team in October.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 7
Tree games in, it seems
harsh to say theres been a
disappointment for Kansas
football this season. However,
there are several players, sever-
al leaders, who need to step up
their game if Kansas stands any
chance of making a bowl game.
Jimmay Mundine, the senior
tight end, is one such leader.
Mundine has caught nine
receptions for just 84 yards. He
has not seen the end zone yet.
On their face, his stats seem
to exceed where they were
this time last year he has
more yards, more receptions
and accounts for a bigger
percentage of Kansas ofense
than he did through three
games last year. However, six
of his nine receptions and 67
of his 84 yards came against
Central Michigan, the worst
pass defense of the three teams
the Jayhawks have faced in the
nonconference season. Also,
at this time last year, Mundine
had found the end zone once,
the frst of his team-leading
fve touchdowns. His average
per catch through three games
was over three yards higher
last year than it is this year.
He did not catch a ball in the
Southeast Missouri State game
and he missed two games
late last season. If injuries are
a concern, it would further
hinder a season that needs to
be Mundines best.
Tis is Montell Cozarts frst
year as the full-time quarter-
back, and hell be counting on
seniors like Mundine, who is
on the Mackey Watch List for
the best tight end in college
football, to help him when the
team hits conference play. Te
Big 12 has three of the top-10
pass defenses in the country,
and Cozart has no experience
in big time situations when
he took over the Jayhawk
ofense full time last year, they
were no longer bowl eligible.
Mundine will have to step
up to help Cozart and the
Kansas ofense against some
of the toughest defenses in
the country, but you have
to wonder if the chemistry
between Mundine and Cozart
is lacking. None of Mundines
touchdowns last year came
from Cozart, and his total
yardage dropped of a clif with
Cozart at quarterback. Less
than a quarter of Mundines to-
tal yardage last year came from
balls thrown by Cozart.
Cozarts struggles to fnd
the same page with Mundine
are concerning. Its especially
concerning if youre ofensive
coordinator John Reagan, who
is tasked with coming up with
a game plan against some of
the top defenses in the country.
If youre going to beat the likes
of Texas or Baylor, you have
to utilize your biggest redzone
threat, and make sure he and
your quarterback are so in sync
that Cozart doesnt have to give
a signal for Mundine to know
where to go.
Tight ends are so valuable
now at every level of football. If
Im Charlie Weis, Im desperate
to get Mundines numbers up
for conference play. He will
make the diference in Big 12
games, and he may be the key
to making Kansas frst bowl
game since 2008.

By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
E
ver since the frst
quarter of the frst
game of the season
against Southeast Missouri
State, senior wide receiv-
er Nick Harwell has been
nearly invisible in the Kansas
ofense.
Harwell, who caught four
passes for 46 yards and two
touchdowns in the SEMO
game, has a combined fve
receptions for a total of 20
yards in the two games that
followed.
Te senior came into this
season afer sitting out all
of last year afer transfer-
ring from Miami (Ohio)
University. Following his
three seasons playing for
the Redhawks under coach
Don Treadwell, Harwell set
the single-game team record
for receptions and receiving
yards, and has the most
100-yard receiving games
in Miami football program
history.
In 2011, he was college
footballs second-leading re-
ceiver averaging 129.6 yards
per game on 97 receptions
for 1,425 yards and nine
touchdowns. Tose marks
were good for an honorable
mention All-American selec-
tion by Sports Illustrated.
Te Jayhawks had high
hopes for the receiver afer
posting stand-out numbers
in Oxford, Ohio, especial-
ly since they havent had
a 1,000-yard receiver in a
season since 2009 in Dezmon
Briscoe, who did it twice and
still holds the team record for
most career receiving yards
by a KU receiver.
Kansas expected Harwell
to standout and shine in the
newly introduced spread of-
fense, but has been anything
but productive following his
two-touchdown performance
in week one. Te 6-foot-1,
Missouri City, Texas, native
was put on the watch list for
the Biletnikof Award, which
goes to the best wide receiver
in the nation. Although he is
still mentioned on the watch
list, Harwell will need to step
it up to even be considered in
the fnal running to win the
award on Dec. 11.
Not all of Harwells slow
start can be attributed to
himself, though. Te man
throwing him the ball, soph-
omore quarterback Montell
Cozart, has been far from
impressive so far. Te talent
Harwell brought with him to
Kansas hasnt gone unnoticed
by opposing sidelines as he
has drawn tight coverage.
Ten again, part of a wide
receivers job is to fnd ways
to get open and Harwells fve
receptions the last two weeks
hasnt proved that hes done
that efectively.
If Charlie Weis and his
Jayhawks want to keep a win-
ning record moving forward
into Big 12 play, Harwell has
to get more receptions and
fnd the end zone more ofen
just like he did 23 diferent
times as a Miami Redhawk.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Cabrera lifts Tigers to 4-3 White Sox win
DETROIT Miguel Cabre-
ra's RBI single in the bottom
of the ninth lifed the Detroit
Tigers to a key 4-3 victory
over the Chicago White Sox
on Tuesday night.
Te win kept Detroit a game
ahead of Kansas City atop the
American League Central and
dropped their magic numbers
to fve for the division and
two for the postseason.
Afer David Price blew a 3-0
lead in the top of the ninth,
Ian Kinsler started the bot-
tom of the inning by bounc-
ing a single over Conor Gil-
laspie's head at third, and Jake
Petricka (1-6) walked Torii
Hunter. Cabrera then lined
a single to lef, with Kinsler
scoring from second without
a throw.
For most of the night, it
looked like Price was going
to show exactly why the Ti-
gers had traded for him at the
deadline, taking a three-hit
shutout into the ninth. Adam
Eaton singled and moved to
third on Alexei Ramirez's
double. Tat got Joe Nathan
up in the pen, and afer Jose
Abreu struck out, Avisail
Garcia lined a two-run single
to center.
Brad Ausmus visited the
mound, drawing boos from
the crowd, but he lef Price
in. Dayan Viciedo few out to
right for the second out, and
Paul Konerko, who was hon-
ored by the Tigers before the
game, singled to move Garcia
to third. Marcus Semien then
blooped a single to center, ty-
ing the game.
Nathan (5-4) came in to
get the fnal out, and picked
up the victory afer Petricka
couldn't get an out in the bot-
tom of the inning.
White Sox rookie Scott Car-
roll allowed two runs one
earned in six-plus innings.
He gave up fve hits and two
walks while striking out four.
Detroit used more speed to
get a run in the seventh, as
pinch-runner Andrew Ro-
mine was able to go from frst
to third on Semien's error,
and score on Kinsler's sin-
gle. Hunter followed with a
ground-rule double to make
it 3-0.

For the second straight year,
coach Charlie Weis hosted
his frst Big 12 press confer-
ence with a 2-1 record. Weis
begins his third trip through
the gruesome round-robin of
the Big 12 against a struggling
1-2 Texas team.
Scouting the Longhorns
Defense
Like Kansas, the defense is
the calling card for the Texas
football program this year.
Texas has fve interceptions
this season afer having just
10 all of last season. Tey
rank 32nd in the nation in
turnovers gained with seven
and are tied for 48th in the
turnover margin (+0.33 per
game). To put that in perspec-
tive, Kansas has just three
turnovers thus far.
Tey are stout on defense,
Weis said. We are going to
have to play really well to have
a chance to win this game.
Defensive tackle Malcom
Brown is arguably the best
player on the defensive side
of the ball. He recorded 2.5
sacks against BYU, becoming
the 10th Texas player to have
2.5 sacks or more in a game.
Texas, as a team, has record-
ed 13 sacks in the frst three
games and they are sixth in
the nation with 4.33 sacks per
game.
He may be the best player I
have ever seen, Weis said.
Scouting the Longhorns Offense
Due to starter David Ashs
retirement last week afer
he sufered a season-ending
head injury, quarterback Ty-
rone Swoopes will direct the
Longhorns.
In his frst two starts,
Swoopes has thrown for 372
yards and completed 67.7 per-
cent of his pass attempts, both
of which rank second among
the last six quarterbacks to
start two games for Texas.
He looks a lot bigger on
tape than what he is listed on
the roster, Weis said. Hes
got a real strong arm and is
very mobile.
Te Longhorns will rely
heavily on their dynamic duo
in the backfeld with run-
ning back Malcolm Brown
and running back Johnathan
Gray. Tey are one of six duos
to return afer rushing for at
least 750 rushing yards last
season.
Return of Tre Parmalee
Afer missing the frst three
games due to an elbow injury,
junior wide receiver Tre Par-
malee was listed on this weeks
depth chart behind senior
wide receiver Justin McCay.
Tre was the best wide
receiver through training
camp, Weis said. We really
wanted him out there in the
frst three weeks.
Weis expects Parmalee to
play immediately this week-
end.
Parmalee has seen action in
his frst two seasons, catching
16 passes for 153 yards, but
has yet to score.
Less Bubble Screens
Sophomore quarterback
Montell Cozarts struggles
through two games caused
Weis to put an emphasis on
short passes this past week
against Central Michigan.
Cozart threw for a career
high 226 yards Saturday, but a
large chunk of that was due to
yards afer the catch.
With Texas using a diferent
defensive scheme, Weis will
most likely have to change his
ofensive mindset again this
week.
Texas runs a lot of Cover
1 and Cover 3, Weis said. I
dont expect those screens to
work as well as they did last

Saturday's game between Kan-
sas and Texas may be a defensive
battle. Weis called Texas' defense
stout. The offenses are a different
story. After losing players to grad-
uation, dismissals and injuries,
the one position Texas needs to
improve most is its offensive line.
Nationally, Texas ranks No. 103 in
passing yards, No. 101 in rushing
yards and No. 107 in points. "I
feel their pain," Weis said.
Weis said Texas defensive tackle
Malcom Brown is one of the best
players he has seen this year.
Period.
One-fourth of the Kansas roster
is from Texas. The importance of
this game to the kids that didn't
even get a sniff from Texas cannot
be overstated.
Weis said Texas' quarterback
situation is different than Kansas'.
"Our quarterback was the starter
at the beginning of the year," Weis
said. "Their quarterback was the
backup." Texas's former backup,
Tyrone Swoopes, has completed
67.7 percent of his passes for 5.72
yards per attempt compared with
Montell Cozart's 54.8 percent and
6.08.
Senior defensive tackle Tedarian
Johnson graded out as one of the
best on the team in the 24-10 win
against Central Michigan. Weis
said it was by far the best game
Johnson has played since he has
been here. Depth on the defensive
line will be key against up-tempo
Big 12 offenses.

Royals roll on, defeat
Indians 7-1 Tuesday night
CLEVELAND With an-
other win, the Royals stepped
closer to history and a playof
berth.
Teyve got a much bigger
goal in mind.
Rookie Yordano Ventura
blanked Clevelands punchless
ofense for seven innings as
Kansas City kept pressure on
frst-place Detroit in the AL
Central with a 7-1 win over the
Indians on Tuesday night.
Following the game, the Roy-
als retreated to their clubhouse
to watch the ninth inning of
the Tigers 5-4 win over Chica-
go. As they ate their postgame
meals, Kansas Citys players
roared loudly when the White
Sox scored three runs in the
ninth to tie it. It got much qui-
eter when Miguel Cabrera de-
livered a game-winning hit to
keep the Tigers one game ahead
of Kansas City.
Still, the Royals are stalking.
Manager Ned Yost knows his
club almost has a wild-card
berth locked up. However, hes
got his sights on a bigger prize.
Im not really interested in
the wild card right now, Yost
said. Tat (magic) number
doesnt mean much to me. Te
wild card has always been Plan
B. Were in good shape right
now. Our focus is on winning
this division.
Te hard-throwing Ventura
(14-10) allowed four singles
and threw a 100 mph fastball
on his 104th pitch.
Salvador Perezs two-out, two-
run double of Danny Salazar
(6-8) put the Royals ahead 5-0
in the ffh and they turned
their attention to the lef-feld
scoreboard to monitor the
Tigers score. Kansas City re-
mained one game out of frst
with fve games lef.
Its been 29 years since the
Royals were in the postseason,
and that run in 1985 ended
with their only World Series
title.
At 86-71, Kansas City
matched its win total from last
season. Its the frst time the
Royals have had consecutive
seasons with at least 86 victo-
ries since 1977-78.
Te playofs are within reach,
but the Royals arent banking
on anything just yet.
Weve got to stick to the
plan, frst baseman Eric Hos-
mer said. We keep saying it
over and over again, but its
what you have to do as a team.
We went out and took care of
our business.
Te Indians faint playof
hopes grew dimmer. Cleve-
land trails Kansas City by 4 1/2
games in the wild-card chase
with four games remaining.
Clevelands ofense went into
a funk at the worst time pos-
sible. Te Indians scored an
unearned run in the eighth,
ending a string of 19 straight
scoreless innings.
Ventura made his major
league debut against the Indi-
ans last September, a perfor-
mance Indians manager Terry
Francona called electric.
Were not hoping for electric
tonight, Francona said before-
hand.
Ventura didnt have to be. Te
Indians are currently powerless.
With a chance to stay in the
race in the seasons fnal week,
Cleveland is collapsing.
We didnt win, which we set
out to do, Francona said. Te
only thing we can do now is
play tomorrow and try to win
that game.
Omar Infantes two-run
double in the fourth gave the
Royals a 2-0 lead, and with
the Indians ofense sputter-
ing, Ventura had more than
enough cushion to notch his
ffh win in six starts and im-
prove to 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA
in fve career starts against the
Indians. Hes 7-1 with a 2.02
ERA in his last eight starts in
the division.
Hes a special guy, Yost
said. He has all the makings
of being a high-level, upper-ti-
er pitcher in the American
League.
In the ffh, Salazar, who
struck out the side in the frst
two innings, got two quick outs
before Hosmer doubled and
scored on Billy Butlers double.
Alex Gordon was walked inten-
tionally and Perez drove in two
with his shot to lef-center, the
ball just clearing lunging lef
felder Michael Brantleys glove.
Salazar was dominant in the
early going, getting six strike-
outs in the frst two innings
with each whif coming on a
wicked change-up that badly
fooled the Royals hitters.
He escaped a threat in the
third, but Salazar wasnt so for-
tunate in the fourth, when he
walked Butler and gave up a
single to Gordon before Infante
pulled his double into the lef-
feld corner.

CHECKING IN ON
THE ROYALS
Record: 86-71
Playoff odds: 99.7% (espn.com)
Last time out: Defeated Cleveland Indians 7-1
on Tuesday
Next opponent: at Cleveland Indians on
Wednesday
Division standing: 2nd place - 1 game behind
Detroit Tigers
Wild card standing: Own second spot - 3 games
ahead of Seattle Mariners (not including
Oakland Athletics-Los Angeles Angels game last
night)
Trending up: Billy
Butler, designated hitter - Has 5 hits in his last 3
games, went 2-for-4 with three runs on Tuesday
Trending down: Mike Moustakas, third-baseman
- Last multi-hit game was on Sept. 9 against
Detroit, went 0-for-4 on Tuesday
Looking ahead: With the Mariners losing their
fourth game in a row on Tuesday, the Royals
are almost a lock for the playoffs. The question
now will be whether they can win the division or
claim the rst wild-card spot, which would give
them home-eld advantage in a winner-take-all
game.

We keep saying it over and

over again, but its what you
have to do as a team. We
went out and took care of our
business.

COMMENTARY
Basketball recruit
reects style of
Brannen Greene
I
n 2013, Kansas sopho-
more Brannen Greene was
named Mr. Basketball in
Georgia. Greene was the 47th
overall prospect in his class
according to the ESPN 100 and
was ranked as the top from his
state.
Tis year, Self and the Jay-
hawks are seeking out another
potential Mr. Georgia Basket-
ball in Jaylen Brown. Brown
has scheduled an ofcial visit
to Lawrence on Oct. 10 and is
looking into visiting Kentucky
a week later, Oct. 17. Howev-
er, that visit is not ofcial yet.
Browns visit to Allen Field-
house will happen during Late
Night in the Phog.
Self has had success with re-
cruits visiting Late Night in the
past. Clif Alexander and Kelly
Oubre were in attendance last
season and liked what they saw
enough to commit to Kansas.
Brown and Greene have
similar playing styles. Tey
are both 6 feet 7 and split time
as shooting guard and small
forward. Tey are both plus-
sized for their position and go
strong to the basket. Brown has
been described as a versatile
athlete who plays with a chip
on his shoulder and has great
potential on the defensive side
of the ball.
Like Greene, Brown has an
improved jump shot that he
understands is a critical aspect
of his game.
I feel like thats what Ive
been working on, Brown said.
Ive been working real hard to
develop everything and work
on my weaknesses and (the
jumper) is becoming one of my
strengths. Being able to get my
shot of at any time and being
able to get in a rhythm like that
(is important).
Being from Georgia, Brown
is considering the University of
Georgia and Georgia Tech, as
well as UCLA for his college de-
cision. One important aspect of
Browns decision is the coach-
ing staf. He said he is intrigued
by Bill Self, Norm Roberts and
the rest of the Jayhawk staf.
Coach Self is really cool,
Brown told SNY.tv. I hope to
sit down with him to talk some
basketball.
However, Brown is not alone
in this decision, and it isnt
based solely on basketball.
Jaylen waiting until afer his
senior year is still on the table at
this time, his mother, Michelle
Brown, told SNY.tv. Tis is a
very difcult decision, and I
want Jaylen to be at peace with
his choice and not be rushed. I
also want him to feel com-
fortable that his choice covers
where he can excel in both
academics and athletics.
Tis is a new development out
of Browns camp. Back in May,
Brown went of for 48 points at
the Adidas Gauntlet in India-
napolis. Afer his performance,
he said he was getting tired
of the recruiting process. He
wanted to make a decision over
the summer, but added a few
schools to his list late.
With only one ofcial visit
scheduled to the University of
Kansas, it seems that a com-
mitment from Brown is still far
away.

S
FRESHMAN ON FIRE
Madison Rigdon making an early season statement
Both in response to the
blowout loss to Duke and
in preparation for the
bruising, old-school ofense
that Central Michigan ran,
Weis promised to make the
Jayhawks practice more
physical than usual.
And it worked.
So this week, the Jayhawks
will continue to hone their
physicality.
If youre asking whether
were going to pull of, not
a chance, Weis said. Im a
very superstitious person. I
think the physical practice
helped us last week, and
they (players) know that, so
its only going to go up from
there.
Tat probably wont hurt as
Texas comes into town this
week. Both the Longhorns
defense and ofense are
known to be tough.
Texas running backs
Malcolm Brown and
Johnathan Gray are both
around 5 feet 11 inches and
220 pounds. Tight end Geof
Swaim is 6 feet 4 inches and
250 pounds. Weis said Swaim
is one of the best blocking
tight ends he has seen.
Te Texas defense has 13
sacks in three games. Malcom
Brown, a defensive tackle, is
leading the Big 12 Conference
in both sacks and tackles for
loss.
Tis team has a lot of
physical players, Weis said.
Teir running backs are
physical, to start of with.
Youve got to expect them to
come in and fgure theyre just
going to pound us.
Te schedule worked out
so Kansas would face two
teams, CMU and now Texas,
that play the tough brand of
football.
I dont do the schedule,
but the game played out well
from that game (CMU) to this
game (Texas) were playing
right now, Weis said.
On Saturday, Kansas saw
indicators of more tough
football. Before the game,
the Jayhawks were last in the
league with one sack. Tey
tripled that total against CMU
by sacking the quarterback
three times.
Much has been said about
the strength of the defense
being in the secondary,
but linebacker Jake Love
did his part in sealing the
victory. Love came up with
consecutive stops in the
fourth quarter.
He now has fve tackles for
loss, just one behind Texas
Brown.
Against Texas, we will see if
the trend continues. Even the
ofensive side of ball, which
ofensive coordinator John
Reagan says is not looking to
play smash mouth football
every week, is looking to be
more physical.
At the same time, it is a
violent game witnessed
by their quarterback (David
Ash) retiring at 20 years old
or whatever he is, Reagan
said. It is a violent game
and you have to play it that
way regardless of the style of
ofense and the type of person
you are. Te game has to be
played that way.
Ash, who was the starter
and played in one game,
retired from football last week
afer complications from
concussions. He missed the
last 10 games of the previous
season due to a head injury.
Weis acknowledges that
there are injury risks to
physical practices during
the week, but he said it is
necessary.
If we dont bang Tuesday
and Wednesday, then we
wont be ready to play on
Saturday, Weis said.

Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon attempts to spike the ball over two Lipscomb players on Aug. 29. Rigdon led Kansas at the Jayhawk Classic last weekend with 46 kills.
Te volleyball teams three
upperclassmen were sup-
posed to solidify the outside
hitter position. Seniors Sara
McClinton and Chelsea Al-
bers made the All-Big 12 Pre-
season Team this year, and ju-
nior Tiana Dockery received
substantial playing time in her
frst two seasons at Kansas.
But at this weekends Jay-
hawk Classic, which Kansas
won, a diferent outside hitter
stole the show.
Madison Rigdon, a fresh-
man from Pfugerville, Texas,
has been lighting up opposing
teams lately in a stretch few
would have predicted to come
so early.
In three matches at the Jay-
hawk Classic, Rigdon led the
team with 46 kills, including
a career-high 20 kills against
Arkansas.
Weve been very pleased
with Madison and how she
has developed through the
nonconference part of our
schedule, coach Ray Bechard
said. I dont want to say that
she is a surprise because we
knew the type of talent she
would bring to the table, but
with her position being deep
with upperclassmen, her
emergence has been really
good to see.
On Monday, the Big 12 rec-
ognized Rigdons stellar play
in the Jayhawk Classic as she
became the frst Jayhawk of
the season to be named Big 12
Ofensive Player of the Week.
Rigdon is the frst freshman
to win this award since 2012,
when West Virginia's Hannah
Sackett did so.
Taking on the demanding
role of a six-rotation starter
a player who plays in the front
and back row Rigdon is one
of the most versatile players
on the team.
Armed with a booming
serve, Rigdons 19 aces lead
the team and rank ffh in the
Big 12.
"I think my serve has been
a big part of it (my success),
Rigdon said. I've had to get
more confdent with it as we
go."
She ranks second on the
team in kills (129) and points
(156.5), only falling behind
Albers in those categories.
Not bad for someone who ap-
peared to be a backup heading
into the season.
Rigdon now has more conf-
dence than ever, and that's the
scary part. Well, for her oppo-
sition, that is.
Not surprisingly, Albers, the
teams other six-rotation play-
er, has positively impacted
Rigdon.
"(Albers) picks me up when-
ever I make a mistake, and
if I mess up, she just tells me
to move onto the next play,"
Rigdon said. "Her leadership
is amazing and its helped me
out a lot throughout this tran-
sition from high school to
college."
Before coming to Kansas,
Rigdon played at Pfugerville
High School where she was
a three-time member of the
All-Texas team, and she set
school records in kills (1375)
and aces (229).
As Kansas' nonconference
schedule ends and Big 12 play
starts, the big question will be
whether Rigdon can consis-
tently perform at a high level
against tougher teams.
Ten again, if her team-lead-
ing 11 kills against No. 3 Penn
State are any indication, Rig-
don appears to be up to the
challenge.

Smith Sunower Invitational.
Kansas ties for 5th at Lady Paladin Invitational
Te Kansas womens golf
team tied Yale University for
ffh-place overall at the Lady
Paladin Invitational on Tues-
day with a fnal score of 892
(+28). Te invitational was
held at the Furman Universi-
ty Golf Course in Greenville,
S.C.
Junior Yupaporn Kawinpa-
korn fnished the tournament
tied for 10th individually with
a three-round score of 218
(+2). Kawinpakorns strong
round of 70 (-2) Tuesday
helped propel her into the top
10.
Kansas coach Erin ONeil
was impressed with Kawin-
pakorn throughout the tour-
nament, especially since the
elements were challenging.
"Mook [Kawinpakorn]
played very well today to shoot
under par with a tough wind,"
ONeil said to Kansas Athlet-
ics. "She had a very good tour-
nament overall."
Other Kansas golfers in-
cluded senior Minami Le-
vonowich and sophomore
Pornvipa Sakdee, who both
fnished with 54-hole scores of
227 (+11), tying for 36th place.

(+15). Senior Michelle Woods
tied for 59th with a score of
233 (+17). Junior Mackenzie
Tayer tied for 82nd place
with a score of 242 (+26).
ONeil said the team could
have played better overall.
Conditions were more dif-
fcult today and for the most
part we didn't handle it as well
as we could have," O'Neil said.
"We mainly pushed too hard
to make birdies on a day when
pars were great."
Furman won its home tour-
nament with an overall score
of 860 (-4). Wake Forest (882),
Texas Tech (883) and Florida
State (889) rounded out the
top fve.
Kansas has placed in the
top fve at three other tour-
naments so far this season.
Te team next plays at the
