Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed the University addressing sexual assault and donor inuence. She said a group will work alongside the task force to discuss the effectiveness of the mandatory sexual assault training.
University takes steps to address sexual assault
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little discussed University steps
to address sexual assault and
donor infuence on Wednesday
afernoon.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Gray-Little said that a
group may be formed to
work alongside the task force
to address concerns about
the efectiveness of the now-
mandatory sexual assault
training, and possibly create a
new education program.
My impression is that the
programs we have now people
listen to, and it goes kind of in
one ear and out the other, so
the question is can you have
an educational or prevention
program that actually gets
the attention of the person
listening and helps them think
about the consequences of their
behavior in a more realistic
way, Gray-Little said. Tats
really the goal.
Te University has hired
a temporary advocate at the
Emily Taylor Center, who will
guide students through the
reporting process and provide
support, in response to several
groups who expressed concern
on the issue.
One of the reasons for the
advocate is to make sure that
a person understands what the
policies and procedures mean
and what they really imply
should be done, Gray-Little
said.
Te University remains on
the list of 85 schools currently
under investigation by the
Ofce of Civil Resources,
which will evaluate Title IX
policies and procedures for
compliance and clarity as well
as look at staf training, but the
investigation has not formally
started. Te chancellor said that
no one from the federal ofce
has come to the school yet and
that it could take years for that
to happen.
Teyre probably
overwhelmed with cases from
universities on that list and
their investigations tend to
be rather slow anyway, Gray-
Little said.
Although there have been an
increasing number of reports
to the Ofce of Institutional
Opportunity and Access, the
chancellor said she doesnt
believe that there has been any
concern coming from the ofce
about investigating each report
within the 60 days required by
law.
Te increase in reports when
more attention is brought to
it is a standard occurrence,
Gray-Little said. I have not
heard that we have been unable
to handle the cases that have
come in. Tat may develop to
be the case, in which case we
would need to get additional
help.
Kappa Sigma is being
investigated by the University
for alleged sexual assaults and
is currently on suspension until
Oct. 31, which the chancellor
said was due to the seriousness
of the accusations.
Gray-Little said that the
University has received a
few letters of concern from
students, faculty, community
members and alumni, but the
University ranking seems to be
unrelated to the scrutiny.
While people are concerned
about the issue and the
occurrence of sexual assault,
I think they are not thinking
about this one university,
the University of Kansas, as
unusual or diferent and in a
way thats too bad, Gray-Little
said. In another way, in terms
of reputation, its benefcial, but
its too bad that it is a common
problem.
KOCH
Te chancellor said Koch
Industries is not diferent
from any other donor and that
without donors, the University
would not be able to fund new
buildings, faculty positions and
scholarships.
Teir relationship with the
university is not unlike other
foundations or individual
donors who chose to support
students, faculty, buildings or
other things, Gray-Little said.
However, donors do not have
the ability to make decisions
outside of choosing what to
fund.
I think that the question is
whether academic programs or
the nature of faculty research or
things like that are determined
by donors and for the most part
thats what we want to avoid,
Gray-Little said.

Investigation
underway regarding
missing midterms
CHANDLER BLANTON
@chandlerblanton
About 80 students in
Ora McWilliams Western
Civilization II class were
surprised to learn last week
that the midterms they took
on Oct. 8 were missing and
presumably stolen.
McWilliams was out of
town at a conference the
day of the exam, so the
tests were administered by
two department-approved
proctors. Te proctors put
the completed midterms
in manila envelopes and
put them in McWilliams
mailbox. When McWilliams
returned to campus, the tests
were nowhere to be found.
Te Humanities and Western
Civilization department is
closely following protocol
to resolve the situation as
quickly as possible.
Once we determined
nobody in the program had
the exams, we notifed the
Ofce of Public Safety, said
Sandra Zimdars-Swartz,
director of the Humanities
and Western Civilization
program. Were following
University protocol by
notifying campus police and
people involved with privacy
and turning things over to
them to investigate.
Te department is unable
to say whether or not they
have any suspects due to the
investigation being ongoing,
said Zimdars-Swartz.
Until anyone is charged
with misconduct or crime, it
would be improper to name
anyone as a suspect, said
Danny Anderson, dean of
liberal arts and sciences.
While the investigation is
likely to continue for at least
a week or two, students in
the class are still wondering
whats going to be done about
their midterms. McWilliams
declined to comment, but
a student in the class has
reported that the class has
been given a take-home
essay question to replace the
midterm.
Quinn Kastner, a junior
from Wichita, said that
taking a replacement test was
unfortunately the best option.

Student Senate met Wednesday evening to discuss excused absences within senate for athletes, as well as concerns with bullied bus drivers and
lighting off-campus. The senate also passed the resolution on the Student Health Services name change.

Student Senate passes
Watkins resolution,
student-athlete bill
Student Senate met Wednesday
night to discuss a multitude of is-
sues including upcoming projects
and resolutions.
ATHLETE SENATORS
Senate voted to approve a
bill that would allow mandatory
events for athletes to count as
excused absences within Senate.
The bills main purpose is to en-
gage more of the student-athlete
population and allow for them to
have more leeway to get involved
in the Senate process.
Sophia Templin, a sophomore
journalism senator from DeSo-
to, who is also a member of the
Universitys softball team, is one
of the authors of the bill. She
said she is thrilled with the bills
approval. Templin said many stu-
dent-athletes have said they felt
left out of last years womens and
non-revenue fee vote.
Im a member of student-ath-
lete advisory committee, so Im
excited I get to go back and tell
them they actually get to join and
be a part of Senate, Templin
said.
BULLIED BUS DRIVERS
Jenny Erice, a junior from Falls
Church, Va., and senates parking
and transit coordinator, voiced
her current concerns with the
red 43 bus route and one stop at
McCollum Hall. According to Er-
ice, students have been bullying
bus drivers. She said there was
at least one report of a student
threatening to or actively spitting
on a bus driver, as well as stu-
dents kicking doors open. Erice
condemned these actions and
said it was unacceptable.
The [route] 43 bus drivers were
subjected to such hostile bitter
verbal harassment that many
threatened to quit, Erice said.
Erice said the time point will
remain at McCollum. The full Stu-
dent Senate hasnt decided how to
handle the issue yet.

OFF-CAMPUS LIGHTING
Senate also discussed progress
on the off-campus lighting initia-
tive. Student Body Vice President
Miranda Wagner said during a
meeting with the city, she learned
that the particular section of
Louisiana Street with the dimly
lit parking lot will be redone in
coming years, and the best option
would be to research short-term
solutions.
Senate also voted to pass the
resolution on the Student Health
Services name change. Student
Health Services can move forward
with the name change to Watkins
Health Services.

Despite discussions
about the need for a nurse
to provide sexual assault
examinations during the
hours when most assaults
occur, the University has not
allocated the funds to pay for
one.
Campus advocates like
Angela Murphy, a graduate
student who co-chairs the
Universitys newly appointed
Sexual Assault Task Force and
is a member of the schools
Title IX Committee, say that
may discourage students
from being examined.
Since January, one sexual
assault-related exam has been
performed at Watkins Health
Services, although more than
50 sexual assaults have been
reported to the University
ofce that investigates the
cases.
Currently, sexual assault
victims who want an exam
afer normal business hours
have to go to Lawrence
Memorial Hospital or
another hospital. Tat can be
a problem for students who
dont have transportation
or have been drinking.
According to IOA records, it
is estimated that 75 percent
of the cases reported at KU
have involved drinking.
For some students,
calling a friend to drive
you wherever, especially
if theres alcohol involved,
youre already getting into
several issues for the victim,
of access to this resource,
Murphy said.
Murphy said in Title
IX Committee meetings,
students, faculty and
administration ofcials
have discussed the need
for a Sexual Assault Nurse
Examiner (SANE), a nurse
certifed to conduct sexual
assault examinations, to be
available on-call so students
who want exams afer hours
can get them.
Tese suggestions were
not met with enthusiasm,
Murphy said. She said the
response was Much more
of a We are eons ahead of
our peers in many regards-
type attitude coupled with
indiference.

ROLE OF IOA
Te Institutional
Opportunity and Access
Ofce has applied for a
federal grant to fund an
on-call SANE position.
Neither Jane McQueeny, the
executive director of IOA,
nor other school ofcials
have said why they need to
go outside the University for
funding. McQueeny said if
IOA does not get the grant,
shell ask the Student Senate
to fund the position.
Currently, Watkins has
one SANE on staf who is
available during business
hours. A SANE is certifed to
do the forensic medical exam
to collect DNA evidence
afer a sexual assault. Tis
evidence is needed should
the victim decide to report
the crime to police.
Federal government
statistics found that nearly
20 percent of all women on
college campus are sexually
assaulted during their college
careers. McQueeny, in a
previous grant application,
said the number of assaults
on campus could be as high
as 2,800 per year.
Te U.S. Justice Department
report found that fewer
than 5 percent of sexual
assaults were reported to law
enforcement. Diana Malott,
associate director at Watkins,
said the only exam that
has been performed since
January was performed this
week. She said no exams were
performed in 2013 although
20 students reported being
sexually assaulted to IOA.
Te Universitys one
SANE-certifed nurse,
Kathy Guth, works during
normal business hours. She
said she thinks most sexual
assault victims dont come to
Watkins for the exam because
most sexual assaults occur
afer the center is closed at 6
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Watkins is open from noon
to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and
closed Sundays.
Most assaults are going
to occur during the early
morning between midnight
and 6. Tats the typical time,
Guth said. Tat doesnt
mean that they couldnt come
in, of course, aferwards, but
ofen its that they go to the
emergency room.
According to the U.S.
Department of Justice report
Te Sexual Victimization of
College Women, only about
12 percent of sexual assaults
took place between 6 a.m.
and 6 p.m. Nearly 52 percent
of rapes took place afer
midnight and 37 percent
occurred between 6 p.m. and
midnight.
Guth said afer a sexual
assault, a victim should not
shower, change clothes, go to
the bathroom, eat or drink,
or brush their teeth before
the forensic medical exam, in
order to preserve evidence.
We absolutely like to try as
soon as possible, but we can
do it up to fve days aferward,
but each day that passes then
theres always a chance of not
getting as good of evidence as
we could, Guth said.

COSTS OF EXPANDING ACCESS
Douglas Dechairo, director
and chief of staf at Watkins,
said in the year he has been in
his position, the possibility of
expanding SANE availability
had not been directly brought
to Watkins administration,
but said he thinks it would be
something worth exploring if
it was determined there was
a need.
Te Kansas Coalition
against Sexual and Domestic
Violence (KCSDV) ofers a
SANE certifcation course.
Joyce Grover, KCSDV
executive director, said afer
a 40-hour training, the nurse
observes exams done by a
SANE, then can apply for
certifcation. Grover said
the course costs about $150.
She said the most signifcant
costs would be to pay nurses.
Dechairo said a SANE
exam takes two to four hours
to perform and in addition
to the SANE, its likely that
at least two other personnel
would be required. Because
the county reimburses
the cost of the exam itself,
Dechario said Watkins would
only be paying personnel for
the additional hours. Based
on this, Dechario estimated
the cost to Watkins would be
about $100 per exam.
Cost-wise I dont
know that that would be
prohibitive, Dechairo said.
I think it really is more just
logistics and organizing a
group to come in in a timely
manner to do it. Tats
probably the biggest thing.
McQueeny said the
application for the Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG),
which requested grant
funding for the on-call
SANE, was submitted this
semester and IOA will
know by early November
if it is approved. If denied,
McQueeny said she would
like to work with Student
Senate to fund the additional
SANE position.
Murphy said the task force
would like to work with
Watkins to expand the SANE
program and they would
prefer to recruit a nurse who
already works at Watkins to
get certifed and be on call.
Another possibility would
be partnering with Lawrence
Memorial Hospital to work
its on-call SANEs into a
rotation that would also
serve Watkins, Murphy said.

No charge for sexual
assault medical exams
Victims are entitled to free forensic
medical exams regardless of whether
they intend to report the assault to
police, said Joyce Grover, executive
director of the Kansas Coalition
Against Sexual and Domestic
Violence.
Having a nurse certied in
performing such an exam is crucial
because the evidence collected can
be used to prosecute the case. If
the victim decides not to contact
law enforcement at the time of the
exam, the evidence, commonly called
a rape kit, is marked only with a
case number. The Kansas Bureau of
Investigation holds the kit for ve
years, and the victim can choose to
le criminal charges anytime within
that time span.
Other medical costs related to
the assault, such as treatment for
injuries or prescriptions to prevent
HIV and STIs, should be either free
up front or reimbursed later. Victims
can le a claim to Crime Victims
Compensation, a state agency, to
cover any costs charged to them for
sexual assault related treatment.
Kathy Guth, a certied Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at
Watkins Health Services at the Uni-
versity, said preventative treatment
for gonorrhea and chlamydia are
also free, as well as a pregnancy test
if there is a chance of pregnancy. At
Watkins, treatment of injuries relat-
ed to the assault, such as stitches,
is not free up front, Guth said. A
victim could apply to the state for
reimbursement of these costs.
Guth said sometimes victims are
afraid that because theyre students,
their parents might have access
to their records at Watkins. That is
not the case, Guth said, and like all
medical records, all treatments are
condential.
Even if victims have the forensic
medical exam done at Lawrence
Memorial Hospital, Guth said, they
can still be referred back to Watkins
for follow-up treatment.

Freshman retention and
graduation rates are improving
at the University, according to
recently released data from the
Ofce of Institutional Research
and Planning (OIRP).
Te retention rate for the
class of freshmen that entered
the fall of 2013 is 80.4 percent
and the six-year graduation
rate is now 59.9 percent, said
Sara Tomas Rosen, senior vice
provost for academic afairs.
Te numbers were calculated
afer the 20th day of classes
this semester and have yet to
be ofcially published on the
OIRP website.
In order to calculate
graduation rate, the University
counts all of the frst time, full-
time freshmen it welcomes
in a fall semester, said Ann
Cudd, vice provost and dean
of undergraduate studies. Tis
number is compared to the
number of these students who
graduate from the University
four years later to create an
accurate graduation rate.
Although some of these
freshmen will enter into a
professional school rather
than graduate with a four-year
bachelors degree, OIRP only
calculates the graduation rate
for bachelor degree-seeking
students. Tese students are
removed from the statistics at
the point at which they would
have received a bachelors
degree.
Te University calculates the
graduation rate of up to six
years for a given class. Cudd
said this is because the national
standard of comparison is
six years, which factors in for
a typical students delay, be
it multiple majors, studying
abroad or taking a year of.
Te national rate of
graduation afer six years is 59
percent for public universities
with open admissions,
according to the National
Center for Education Statistics.
Te Universitys six-year rate is
slightly higher than the national
average at 59.9 percent, but the
University has an even higher
goal for the future: a 70 percent
six-year graduation rate by
2020.
Graduation and retention
rates have been rising and
falling over the history of
data collection by the OIRP
statistics on the website date
back to 1996 but this years
increased rates come three
years afer the University
implemented its Bold
Aspirations strategic plan for
progression and retention. Te
plan outlines the top priorities
for both the Lawrence and
Edwards campuses. Graduation
and retention are listed within
the frst goal of the document.
Cudd and Rosen are
responsible for overseeing the
implementation and success
of the Bold Aspirations plan
from orientation to graduation.
Tese programs include a
redesign of KU Core courses,
supplemental instruction
opportunities, and close
tracking of students progress
at the University.
One of the things were
looking at in more detail now,
less than retention, is what we
call progression, Rosen said.
[With progression,] not only
do [the freshmen] retain, but
they enter into the University
afer one year as sophomores
with 30 credits, and then into
their third year with 60 credit
hours, and their fourth year
with 90 credit hours. If students
are progressing with at least 30
hours a year, they graduate at a
higher rate.
While progression is one
of the hurdles students face,
there are several others. Cudd
said she has seen two major
reasons for the low graduation
and retention rate among KU
students.
I would say the biggest
obstacle is poor preparation
for college work, she said. A
student who comes in needing
to take remedial math that
is a real barrier to on-time
graduation and can be a real
barrier to even graduating at
all.
Te second obstacle students
tend to face is a lack of focus
and motivation, Cudd said.
Students who enter the
University with little idea
of what they want to do can
explore their options for too
long, delaying their progression
rate.
A lot of students struggle
from the very beginning, she
said. To some extent, it is good
to explore and fnd something
that really fts you, but the
longer it takes a student to fnd
that focus, the more at risk they
are for dropping out or leaving
KU.
Te renewed focus on
retention and overall
graduation rate has changed
the way the University looks at
recruitment, Rosen said.
As our admissions ofce
would say, were not trying to
recruit students as freshmen
to the campus were trying
to recruit graduates, she
said. Were here to graduate
students and send them on
to their careers. We have to
do everything we can to help
students be successful.

It sucks that we have to
take it all over again on such
short notice, Kastner said.
But it was a good decision
to mediate between fairness
for the students and the
department.
While the department
insists its doing the best
it can to take care of the
students afected by the
incident, not everyone is
fully satisfed with how
things have been handled.
Kyle Gegen, a senior from
Nowthen, Minn., wants to
see more communication
between the department
and the students going
forward.
It hasnt been a very
transparent process,
Gegen said. All week
weve just been getting
random comments from
our professor, but Im sure
Im not alone in wanting to
have more transparency in
the process.

IN BRIEF
University of Kansas
Hospital prepared
for Ebola outbreak
With the recent outbreaks of
Ebola in the United States, hos-
pitals are preparing to handle
and contain any possible out-
breaks.
On Oct. 13, The University of
Kansas Hospital reported that
an individual called and visited
the hospital with a high fever
and other serious symptoms.
The patient had recently worked
on a medical boat off the west
coast of Africa and was imme-
diately isolated in a special
infectious disease unit to un-
dergo various tests. The patient
later tested negative for Ebola.
This was the second person
observed for having Ebola. The
rst patient turned out to have
contracted malaria.
KU Hospital Chief Medical Of-
cer, Dr. Lee Norman, a medical
doctor of 35 years, has followed
and studied Ebola since its rst
outbreak in the 70s.
He conrmed the hospital
would be able to treat any pos-
sible Ebola patient, or any other
infectious disease patient. The
tests to conrm Ebola take
around 48 hours to complete
and any patient who is sus-
pected of contracting Ebola
would still be placed under the
correct quarantine procedures
until conrmed negative.
Currently, the hospital has
an Ebola treatment unit which
was set up in time to handle
the second patient who was
suspected of having Ebola.
Norman said the hospitals air
lter is effective.
The unit is very thought out
for infection control purposes,
Norman said.
According to World Health
Organization, Ebola is difcult
to distinguish from other infec-
tious diseases such as malaria,
typhoid fever and meningitis.
The only way to conrm that the
symptoms (which include vom-
iting, fever, impaired liver and
kidney function, and possible
internal bleeding) is to perform
a series of tests, such as an
antigen-capture detection test
or a serum neutralization test.
These tests are performed un-
der maximum biological con-
tainment to ensure that the
virus isnt spread.
WHO also said health care
workers who are tending to pa-
tients that are under observa-
tion for possibly having Ebola
should take extra precautions
to prevent contact with the
patients blood and body uids
and contaminated surfaces
for example, bedding or cloth-
ing. When in close contact, they
also recommend that health
care workers should wear face
protection such as medical
masks and goggles, gloves,
and a long-sleeved gown.
It is really critical that people
keep their wits about them,
Norman said. This doesnt
mean we let our guard down
about Ebola, but we have to
keep it in perspective because
there are a lot more dangerous
things out there than Ebola.

FFA OF THE DAY

Am I the only person that got the irony of

when you sign up for the hunger run you got a
free cinnamon roll?

This upcoming election directly affects the students

P
aul Davis,
a candidate
for governor
and Kansas House of
Representatives minority
leader, has said, This
election is as significant
of one as there has been
in my lifetime.
There is no group with
more at stake in this
election than students.
Rarely do elections
present such clear
alternatives or represent
such direct impact
on the lives of voters
as the race this year.
Governor Brownbacks
administration has
become notorious in the
national media due to
the extreme nature of his
policies.
Brownback famously
proclaimed his series
of deep income tax cuts
for the highest income
bracket would provide
a shot of adrenaline
to the Kansas economy.
Somehow, the result,
anemic state revenue,
appears to have come as a
surprise. The immediate
problem with the
cataclysmic $688 million
decline in revenue for
fiscal year 2014 is the
corresponding fallout for
state expenditure.
More than half the state
budget is allocated for
K-12 education. School
funding levels have
already been deemed
unconstitutionally low
by the Kansas Supreme
Court, and according to
former Kansas Budget
Director Duane Goossens
Kansas Budget blog, this
years revenue receipts
are falling short of last
years pace. This is
before higher education
is even accounted for.
At Kansas, in-state
tuition has increased 324
percent in the past 12
years while state funding
has increased only 6.1
percent, according to
Kansas Board of Regents.
Paul Davis opposed
this experiment
while in the legislature,
but Brownback has
declared he will hit the
accelerator on further
scheduled cuts. On
Nov. 4 we will be at a
crossroads. In the coming
years, over the term of
the next elected governor,
todays University
students will be deciding
where to begin their
post-graduation lives and
pursue careers.
The stakes are not
limited to the dire fiscal
straits manufactured
by radical ideological
politics, nor are they
merely education funding
levels in the abstract.
This is about people and
families, about beginning
life after undergraduate
education and developing
roots. Schools were
a big part of why my
parents came to Kansas
to start a family, but
other families wont be
making that decision
if these unprecedented
policies persist. These
decisions will determine
the accessibility of a
quality Kansas education,
and the likelihood of
many students, including
myself, remaining in the
state.
A state with graduates
evacuating every year
will be reeling as a result
in 15 years. Losing a
generation of graduates,
job-creators, taxpayers
and Kansans would doom
the potential of the states
job market appeal for an
indefinite period of time.
Brownback has used
political stunts to
poach L.L.C. filings
from existing Missouri
businesses and cited it
as growth while creating
few actual new jobs. For
all of these efforts, he
has overlooked the surest
form of investment in
future prosperity there
is: superior access to
high quality education,
fostering a skilled labor
force and attracting
new jobs, and a thriving
economy.
With one hand,
Brownback is shooing
young college grads
out of the state, while
with the other hand he
is averting them from
Kansas most prolific
institutions public
universities. Now, he is
juggling the future of
Kansas while trying to
save his own skin.
Paul Davis is a proven
champion of schools
from his long tenure
in the Kansas House
of Representatives
and an advocate for
the prioritization of
education.
This race is a dead
heat, with time before the
Nov. 4 election running
out and advance voting
already underway. To
confirm your voter
registration status, check
myvoteinfo.voteks.org.
If you are registered in
a different county, you
can have your ballot
mailed to your Lawrence
address. If you are
registered in Douglas
County you can vote
early on campus at the
Sabatini Multicultural
Resource Center.

@claycosby
University should ban Greek Life on campus
F
raternities
and sororities
have their
advantages. Members
are part of organizations
that, on paper, are
dedicated to their
community, academics,
leadership and service.
Unfortunately, the greek
system today is plagued
with alarming problems
that place the chapters
and the universities they
represent in a negative
light. It seems doubtful
that the system will
change, and, because
of this, it is time to end
Greek Life.
According to a study
conducted by the
National Association
of Student Personnel
Administrators, fraternity
men are significantly
more likely than other
male students to commit
some form of sexual
assault. Women who are
members of sororities,
the study finds, are 74
percent more likely than
other female students
to be victims. These
statistics are alarming.
Several factors are
likely contributing to
these trends, including
rampant alcohol use and
a culture that encourages
sexual assault, as studies
indicate. Another study
from Oklahoma State
University, finds that
fraternity culture tends
to promote hyper-
masculinity, female
subordination and male
dominance all traits
that are correlated with a
tendency toward sexual
aggression. The study
states these views often
become normalized,
leading to the social
construction of a rape-
prone environment.
The problems
concerning Greek Life
and sexual assault have
been visible at our own
university this semester.
Recently, Kappa Sigma
was placed on suspension
over reports of sexual
assault at a party. Victims
from other instances
of greek-related sexual
assault have come
forward recently, and the
University has received
criticism for how it has
handled these matters.
These allegations not
only hurt the chapters
accused, they also place
the University and the
administration in a
difficult situation.
Many members of the
greek community at the
University of Kansas have
come forward, calling
for change from within. I
applaud these efforts and
I respect the individuals
who wish to address
these problems. However,
I find it difficult to
believe the majority of
greek members truly
wish to change the
system. If they did,
these problems would
not exist, or they would
at least be efficiently
dealt with. Because
of this, I believe the
most effective solution
is for universities to
ban the traditional
social fraternities and
sororities.
Some colleges, such as
Middlebury, Amherst and
Williams, have recently
put an end to greek
activities with positive
results, according to
Newsweek. It is difficult
to make this change,
and the universities that
have done so have faced
challenges and backlash.
Universities may be
hesitant, too, because
greek alumni tend to
be the largest donors
to their alma maters.
However, the long-term
benefits far outweigh the
costs, and it is time for
universities to address
this long-standing issue.
Although this would not
automatically solve every
problem on campus,
the negative attention
these institutions have
encountered would be
gone.
Im not singling out
any individuals or
stating that those in the
greek system are bad
people. I have friends
in Greek Life who have
benefitted greatly from
their experience in their
respective organizations,
and Im glad theyve
found such a positive
experience at Kansas.
However, the system,
overall, is broken and
antiquated, and needs to
be abolished. I believe
the University needs
to make this change,
though simply banning
greek organizations
will not be enough.
University officials
need to work to build a
sense of community on
campus, which Greek
Life currently provides to
its members. This would
have a positive effect,
not only on non-greek
individuals, but also on
the student body.

Te 2014 KU Dance
Marathon is taking place this
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10
p.m. in the Kansas Union.
According to their website,
the KU Dance Marathon is
one of the largest student-run
philanthropies on campus,
and raises money for the
local Childrens Miracle
Network. During the KUDM,
KU students dance or stand
during the entirety of the
event to show their support
for kids and families from KU
Pediatrics.
Te day consists of games,
entertainment from various
campus groups including the
dance crew Unity and the
a cappella group Genuine
Imitation, interaction with
families from the hospital
and the teaching of a dance
that everyone performs at the
end of the night. Troughout
the day, some of the Miracle
families share their stories as
well.
According to the KU Dance
Marathons ofcial website, the
concept of Dance Marathons
was created and put into action
in the early 90s. It was brought
to Kansas in 2008 by alumni
Alex Ross. Since it began,
KUDM has raised more than
$300,000. While the Dance
Marathon brings in about 500
dancers and raises around
$61,000 annually, the people
organizing the event believe
the philanthropy has potential
to grow exponentially. Kylee
Alvarez, a junior from Mason,
Ohio, is the Dance Marathons
director of design. She is
responsible for the logo and
branding of the event and
said she hopes to see the event
grow.
We want people to know
this is a movement on
campus and in the nation,
Alvarez said.
According to their
website, the foundation has
raised more than $62 million
nationally since its inception.
Many of the people behind
the Dance Marathon hope to
eventually compete with other
Dance Marathon schools
such as Florida and Iowa that
raise upwards of $1 million
annually.
Co-director of recruitment
and morale, Travis Kesinger,
a sophomore from Topeka,
said he has ambitions to make
the Dance Marathon a more
common part of campus life.
I want to integrate Dance
Marathon into the culture of
KU, Kesinger said. Te dance
marathon is something for a lot
of schools that is just a given.
When you go to that school,
you go to dance marathon or
at least know about it. Tats
my ultimate goal.
While raising funds is the
ultimate purpose of the event,
the people involved with the
event believe that the reward
goes beyond just raising a lot
of money for the cause. Both
Alvarez and Kesinger said that
seeing the childrens reactions
is just as rewarding as the
fundraising, if not more so.
Its their day to be a kid
again and get away from the
hospital. Its really rewarding
to see their reaction, Alvarez
said.

Artwalk 2014 Artist Spotlight: Barbara Solberg
Barbara Solberg has always
been passionate about art.
One of her earliest memories
of art is when she was just fve
years old, painting on an easel
board.
I just dipped the brush in
the paint and put the mark
on the paper and was totally
amazed, Solberg said. Stood
there and watched the red
paint drip down the bottom.
Solberg is one of 46
participating artists in the
Lawrence DIY Artwalk
2014, which will replace
the Lawrence Artwalk this
year. Participating artists in
Douglas County will open up
their studio or gallery to the
public this weekend, enabling
direct interaction between the
artists and the public. Main
hours are Friday from 6 p.m.
to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday
from noon to 6 p.m.
Artwork that will be featured
in Solbergs studio includes her
own version of petroglyphic
images inspired from an
ancient petroglyph image by
the Sami people, reindeer
herders from Alta, Norway.
Solberg is a University
alumna and retired University
continuing education faculty
member. She said getting a
degree from the University
gave her the opportunity to
broaden her artwork from
traditional landscape and
pastels to mixed media. With
all the experimental pieces
she created during her time
at Kansas, she started making
collages by putting them
together with stones, feathers
and twigs she had collected.
Being able to communicate
with other artists at the
University while working
towards her degree also
infuenced her life as an artist.
Its helpful to be around
other artists and talk to
them, she said. Tat was an
interesting part about going
to KU, being with the young
students. I have to say young
kids have no fear in art. Tey
will try anything and call it
art. And Im going, oh gosh, I
dont know.
Kelly Simons, a junior from
Albuquerque, N.M., studying
theater design and technology,
said Artwalk is a great
opportunity for more people
to visit art galleries and not be
overwhelmed.
I think people are usually
kind of afraid to go into the
art gallery because I think that
they have to be super fancy
or they are expected to buy
something, Simons said. Its
good that they set it in such
a casual way so that people
arent afraid to go in and look
at things.
Simons said Artwalk could
also be a learning opportunity
for students in particular.
Especially for people who
want to become artists, its
good to know what your peers
are creating and also its good
to know how the whole gallery
system works, Simons said.
Solberg also ofers
drawing classes at her studio,
something she has been
doing for more than 25 years.
Solberg has been teaching
drawing lessons through the
OSHER Lifelong Learning
Institute at the University
Continuing Education until
she retired last year.
You just need to fnd what
your passion is, she said.
Teres that word again. Its a
passion. Art is.
Solberg said said her art
aesthetic has grown over
her life as she continued to
both look at and paint more
artwork.
Making art is good for the
soul, she said. All art forms to
me are important to the well
rounded person and having a
more interesting life.

Lawrence vs. Zombies returns from the
dead for its second consecutive year
Last year, a local activity
began called Lawrence vs.
Zombies. Tis year, the undead
are back with new twists and
changes to the event that pits
humans against zombies. Te
event already has around 160
confrmed attendees, twice as
many as its frst year.
Weve evolved our arena
ambiance, said event
coordinator Jason Gevargizian,
a graduate student from
Leawood. Teres defnitely
more of the fog machine being
used and more strategic strobe-
lighting for disorienting the
players at key points.
LvZ will take place Friday
and Saturday from 7 to 11
p.m. at Ecumenical Christian
Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Gevargizian said the basic
game mode entails people
going into an arena-like setup
as humans and then fghting
zombies with Nerf gear. If
the zombies tag a human, the
human becomes a zombie as
well.
Gevargizian said they are
introducing ogres, which are
invincible zombies.
It has this awesome sumo
suit set-up going on, and we
have it decked out to make
it look a little more zombie-
like, so hopefully fear will be
in the human players hearts,
Gevargizian said.
Recent University graduate
Allison Moses from Topeka
serves as the game director
for LvZ. She said the new kind
of zombie is an unexpected
element that allows humans to
have more fun with the game.
Also included in LvZ are
non-player characters (NPCs)
who can either help or hinder
the human side. Gevargizian
said last year they had a
merchant character who would
enter the game periodically.
He said human players could
trade tickets, which serve as
the games post-apocalyptic
currency, for ammo with the
merchant.
Tat was the one NPC on
[the humans] side last year,
and he ended up dying in Last
Stand, Gevargizian said. Tis
year, he may or may not return
as a zombie.
At this years event, directors
are introducing a new, friendly
NPC called the Proprietor, a
character who will run the Blue
Lounge safe area.
He said there is a storyline to
LvZ, but since they dont have
anything published about it,
and dont emphasize it during
the event, its more of a treat for
players who pay attention.
For now its implied
connections between the
NPCs, Gevargizian said. Tis
year, if you go into the Blue
Lounge, youll see on the bar
therell be a framed photo of
him with the merchant.
Gevargizian said the game
was inspired by a game he
created as a child, and afer
talking with friends in the
KU Anime Club who were
involved in zombie live action
role-playing (LARP), they
decided to create the larger
event of Lawrence vs. Zombies.
We got together and thought
we have the resources to do
this, and theres enough nerd
overlap with zombie culture
that we decided to go for it,
Gevargizian said.
Gevargizian said they began
with rules similar to the
zombie LARP his friends were
in, and it eventually morphed
into the modern LvZ.
Our games are a little less
structured, Gevargizian
said. Its more about arena
placement strategy, and more
like free survival within an
indoor setting.
He said other members of the
KU Anime Club primarily staf
the event.
Gevargizian said the event
can be a little nerve-racking
because although hes excited
to see how it plays out, he also
wants to ensure it goes the way
he expects. Moses said she is
excited to see a lot of returning
players come back this year and
is also excited for the improved
game mechanics.
Basic gear will be available
to rent the night of the event,
and advanced gear will be open
for purchase, according to
the events website. Nerf Gun
guidelines are posted on the
LvZ website. Gevargizian said
partial proceeds from the event
beneft the KU Anime Club,
while the majority goes toward
the event itself for future years.
Te whole game is such a
fun and novel idea, and I cant
think of anyone that wouldnt
have fun shooting Nerf guns at
zombies, Moses said.

Free State Comicon provides
a low-cost venue for local
comic book writers and artists
to showcase their work to
fans. Te event also provides
a central location for local
and regional exhibitors to
do business. Its mission is to
provide great entertainment
value to fans and to share the
culture of comicon, Koltz
said. Te Free State Comicon
will take place at the Douglas
County Fairgrounds, 2110
Harper St., from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Admission is $5.
Every years event is
diferent from the last years
event, Klotz said. We will
have diferent exhibitors
with diferent merchandise,
diferent comic creators, all
with new and interesting
projects that they love to
talk about, diferent cosplay
characters and diferent fans.
Comicon is known for its
unique attendees. Klotz said
it is nationally known as the
Fanfest of Nerds where
comic books fan are able to
enjoy themselves by dressing
up as their favorite cosplays
and enjoy the environment of
Comicon with other avid fans.
Te characters from Star
Wars or Star Trek have always
been most popular at every
Comicon, Klotz said. In
the last few years, Free State
Comicon has seen several of
the characters from Doctor
Who and Adventure Time.
I like to be surprised, so my
favorites are usually the ones
you dont expect, Klotz said.
Im kind of hoping to see a
Rocket Raccoon roaming the
convention foor this year
afer Guardians of the Galaxy
came out in the theater this
year.
Joel Sanderson, a web
developer at the University for
Liberal Arts & Sciences and
a comic book writer, will be
a featured guest at Free State
Comicon for his main work
as Gunther Dedmund, a host
of the local TV show, Te
Basement Sublet of Horror.
Tis will be his fourth straight
appearance as a featured guest
at the event.
Te event will also feature
Richard Chamberlain, a writer
for the blog Monster Movie
Kid from Kansas City, Kan.
Chamberlain specializes in
horror flms and creature
features. He will attend the
show to promote his blog, but is
also the lead writer for another
publication of Sandersons
comic that will make its debut
at the show: Te Basement
Sublet of Horror magazine
issues 1 and 2.
Tough some fans are afraid
to put themselves out there at
the event, Klotz said at a comic
convention, everyone has
the potential to be an instant
friend.
Like-minded lovers of
popular culture gathering to
see and be seen, to meet and get
sketches and autographs from
those who create the comics,
to talk about everything from
Agents of Shield to Walking
Dead, and to fnd fun and
unique merchandise that can
only be found at a show like
this, Klotz said. Oh, and
thousands upon thousands of
comic books.

THE EVENT:
After taking a one-year
hiatus, Fashion Monsters is
back for its seventh fashion
show with this years theme
Things That Go Bump In
The Night. The event will
take place Saturday and will
feature local businesses and
designers. Doors open at 8
p.m. at the Replay Lounge,
946 Massachusetts St.
The designers and stores
featured in the event are:

Katrina Weiss, from
Lincoln, Neb., producer
of the event and employee
at Arizona Trading
Company, has previously
modeled in Fashion
Monsters shows. She said
people love to dress up for
Halloween, and this event
gives people an opportunity
for a new Halloween
tradition where people can
dress up, see the show and
have a good time.
Weiss said the event is
geared towards the college
crowd or people who
work downtown people
around 21-30 years old
which is a completely
different audience than
most charity events.
THE FASHION:
McFarland has composed
outfits, hairstyles and
makeup for the models,
whom she hand selected
herself. She said her models
include friends and co-
workers who she thought
had the personality, would
look good in the clothes

A blurb on the School of
Journalisms website says, 83
percent of 2013 journalism
graduates were employed
full-time six months afer
graduating.
What the website doesnt
say is the fgure is based on
surveys completed by 38
percent of graduates, or 194 of
500 students were emailed the
survey.
Other programs also reported
graduate job rates in 2013 based
on responses from less than
half of their graduating classes.
For example, the School
of Architecture, Design and
Plannings survey results
showed that 97 percent of
graduates had jobs afer
graduation. However, the
results were based on completed
surveys from 12 percent of the
graduating class, or 31 of the
programs 264 graduates. Te
College of Liberal Arts and
Science, the School of Social
Welfare and the School of
Music also had response rates
below 50 percent.
Such limited survey responses
can produce an incomplete or
inaccurate picture of how easy
it will be for students to get jobs
in their feld afer graduation.
Experts caution there could
be response bias, meaning
students hired afer graduation
are more likely to fll out school
surveys than those who are
unemployed.
Having skewed employment
data is not a problem unique
to KU, said Donna Ginther,
a professor of economics,
who has done research on
college graduation surveys
and employment. Other
universities tend to have the
same problems.
Te School of Business, the
School of Education and the
School of Engineering had
the highest response rates to
surveys last year. Business had
a 91 percent response rate. Te
school of Education had a 77
percent response rate and the
school of Engineering reported
an 87 percent response rate.
Some schools are particularly
vigorous in making sure
surveys are flled out.
Te School of Business
requires that students fll out
an exit survey prior to receiving
their graduation tickets, or at
check-in for the graduation
ceremony. Tis ensures that
most of these graduates fll out
the survey, said Alli Wellinghof,
ofce manager of the Business
Career Service Center at the
Business School.
It is important to get accurate
survey results because then
those results can be reported
to potential employers and
students, Wellinghof said.
Te School of Engineering
uses email surveys, but asks for
what students are doing beyond
just jobs. Te survey reports
include students attending
graduate school, volunteering
and other pursuits.
Similar to students in
other majors, some School of
Engineering students choose
to pursue graduate school,
participate in volunteer
service like the Peace Corps,
etc., instead of pursuing post
graduation employment,
said Cathy Schwabauer,
the schools career services
director. Terefore, we refer to
overall connection rate versus
employment rate to include the
students who have chosen other
types of career paths than going
directly into the workforce.
Te School of Architecture
relies on email surveys
immediately afer graduation,
but is looking at ways to
boost response rates, said
Charles Linn, director of
communications at the school.
In explaining the schools 12
percent response rate, Linn
said students dont realize
the importance of providing
feedback. He said the school
also needs current email
addresses for graduates.
Even with a higher response
rate, Linn said he would
not emphasize too much on
whether the survey results
refect the schools quality.
But in general, I would be
careful not to stake too much
importance on these post
graduation surveys, Linn
said. Tey are a snapshot
of a brief moment in these
peoples careers. Te majority
of graduates are very young
and still are exploring many
choices concerning what they
want to do for the rest of their
lives. Whether they have a job
the moment they graduated is
not necessarily a measure of
how we are doing as a school.
Te journalism school also
relies on email surveys to
graduates, sending them out six
months afer graduation. Patty
Noland, the schools career
development coordinator,
said the school used to make
the surveys a graduation
requirement and got very low
results.
Very few journalism students
have jobs when they graduate,
Noland said. Tats why we
like to send them out months
afer graduation by email.
Noland called the 38 percent
survey response, pretty high as
far as surveys go. and said the
school provides the most data
it can. Ginther called the 38
percent response reasonable.
10 percent would be
problematic, but ideally we
would want 90 percent,
Ginther said. Te higher the
response rate, the better.
But its also a reality that
getting responses to surveys is
difcult in general. Its really
hard to get people to reply to a
survey, Ginther said. We dont
know about the people who
dont respond, and thats the
problem with data that comes
from a survey.

SCHOOL JOB SURVEYS: SOME SCHOOLS GET HIGHER RESPONSE RATES THAN OTHERS
Arguments for and against
the legalization of same-sex
marriage were the topics of
debate at the Dole Institute
of Politics and the KU Law
Schools 2014 Constitution
Day Program on Tuesday.
Barbara Ballard, associate
director of the Dole Institute,
said the event had been in
the works since July. Recent
Supreme Court rulings only
gave the presenters that much
more to discuss.
David Brown, an adjunct
law professor at the University,
argued that many people dont
fall under the traditional man
marries woman relationship
and are now stepping forward
to claim their rights, but
Tomas Fisher, the solicitor
general of Indiana, said the
states response has relied
heavily on regulations based
not only on text, but also on
history and structure.
From the states point
of view, that simply isnt
there for purposes of same-
sex marriage, Fisher said.
You just cant fnd the same
historical roots for it that you
can for a traditional opposite
sex marriage.
Te only thing Brown and
Fisher agreed on was that
states defending same-sex
marriage bans could have a
hard road ahead.
Fisher said he is not
optimistic about the states
chances if the Supreme Court
fnds its hand forced by the
favorable rulings of state
Supreme Courts and Circuit
Courts.
Its an unfortunate thing
to have to plan for from my
perspective as one whos
defended these laws for so
many years, but I think weve
got to see the writing on the
wall, Fisher said near the end
of the debate.
Fisher said states have the
right to regulate specifcally
on same-sex marriage. Fisher
argued in the Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals this summer
to keep Indianas ban on same-
sex marriage in place, but was
denied by the Seventh Circuit,
who the Supreme Court ruled
in favor of on Oct. 6.
Fisher said that states should
encourage children be raised
by their biological parents, and
that the traditional defnition
of marriage helps protect that.
Te idea that marriage is
to protect the rights to bear
children or to raise children or
to ensure parenthood, those
arguments dont hold up in
todays society, Brown said.
Many people get married
without any thought of ever
having children.
Brown said it is clear to him
that in a short amount of time
same-sex marriage will be
the law of the land. He also
said attorney generals and
prosecuting attorneys have a
legal and ethical obligation
to follow what the courts are
saying, and that they must
grant equal opportunities
to be married to same sex
couples.
When an attorney general or
a governor decides to expend
the funds of a state to battle
in a fght that is not winnable
and is not constitutional and
is discriminatory against its
citizens, it is both the governor
and that attorney general are
violating their oaths of ofce
and harming the citizens of
their state, Brown said.

1. TEXAS (14-0, 6-0)
Who else? Texas is the
only undefeated team lef
in conference and started
the week ranked second in
the country by the AVCA
coaches. Te Longhorns
strong play coincides with the
teams ability to hit and block
with minimal errors. Texas
leads the Big 12 in hitting
percentage at .311, and
also tops the conference in
opponent hitting percentage
at .143.
2. OKLAHOMA (14-5, 5-1)
Oklahoma struggled with
four losses before conference
play began, but has been
nothing short of spectacular
since. Te Sooners only
conference loss was a shocker
at Iowa State on Oct. 12, but
the team has rebounded
nicely with back-to-back
conference wins since. A
majority of Oklahomas
success comes from the teams
two best hitters, sophomore
Madison Ward and junior
Kierra Holst. Ward ranks
second in Big 12 kills per set
with 4.05, and Holst is fourth
on the list at 3.71 kills per
conference match.
3. KANSAS (15-5, 3-3)
Afer falling to 0-3 in
conference play for the frst
time since 2011, Kansas has
bounced back in a big way,
claiming three straight Big
12 wins. Te Jayhawks rank
top fve as a team in every Big
12 statistical category and are
frst in conference kills with
354, averaging 14.16 per set.
Even better for Kansas, the
team brought home all three
Big 12 weekly awards on
Monday for the frst time in
program history. Sophomore
middle Taylor Soucie was
named Big 12 ofensive player
of the week, sophomore
libero Cassie Wait brought
home the defensive player of
the week award and freshman
setter Ainise Havili was the
Big 12 rookie of the week.
4. KANSAS STATE (17-3, 4-2)
Kansas State has already
shown they can win big
matches by beating Kansas in
Lawrence, but the teams 3-1
loss at home against Baylor
is still puzzling, and pushes
them to fourth in these
power rankings. Coaches
around the country are a bit
less skeptical than I, ranking
Kansas State as the 22nd best
team in the country, the only
Big 12 squad besides Texas
in the top 25. Kansas State
leads the Big 12 in blocks per
set with 3.11, and the teams
senior Natali Jones leads the
league individually with 1.68
blocks per set.
5. WEST VIRGINIA (12-8, 2-4)
West Virginia has an odd
statistic that no other Big
12 team can boast thus
far. Te Mountaineers are
the lone conference team
to take Texas to a ffh set
this season, something
only volleyball powerhouse
Nebraska has been able to
accomplish. Although they
went on to lose the match,
it still shows how much
potential West Virginia has.
Much of that potential comes
from sophomore outside
hitter Jordan Anderson. She
leads the Big 12 in kills per
conference match at 4.73, and
her 5.06 points per set also
rank her frst in conference.
6. TEXAS TECH (15-4, 3-4)
Texas Tech played a
relatively weak non-
conference schedule which
resulted in a strong 12-0 start,
but the team has faltered
since by dropping four of
seven. Te Red Raiders 3-4
Big 12 record gives them
one more conference win
than West Virginia, whos in
the ffh spot, but because
the Mountaineers beat Texas
Tech, that means the Raiders
drop to sixth. One statistical
category haunting Texas Tech
in conference play has been
the teams hitting percentage.
Tey rank dead last in the
Big 12 with a .159 hitting
percentage, and the teams
172 hitting errors also lead
the league.
7. IOWA STATE (10-7, 2-4)
Te Cyclones have been
a confusing bunch to say
the least. Why? Iowa State
has defeated contending
conference teams like West
Virginia, but has also lost to
the low-ranked like TCU,
which makes the team nearly
impossible to rank. Whats
helping the team most is
without a doubt the ability
to dig and set the ball. Iowa
State as a whole ranks frst in
conference in both categories,
digging on average 16 balls
per set, while assisting a kill
13.38 times per set.
8. TCU (12-9, 2-5)
It was a toss up between
TCU and Baylor for the
eighth spot but because the
Horned Frogs beat Baylor
in the two teams only head-
to-head match means TCU
is just that much better.
Statistically, the only thing
going for TCU right now is
serving. Te Horned Frogs
lead the conference in service
aces per set with 1.27, and
sophomore setter/outside
hitter Trisha Langley sits atop
the Big 12 with .60 aces per
set.
9. BAYLOR (11-10, 1-5)
As mentioned in the Kansas
State section, Baylors one
conference win surprisingly
came against the Wildcats in
Manhattan. Te Bears have
lost every conference match
since, going 0-5, and have
only taken one team to a ffh
set during that span. Baylor
earns the last spot in these
rankings not only because
they lost to TCU, but also
because the team is statically
worse than the Horned
Frogs in multiple categories,
including hitting percentage
and blocks.

Te Kansas volleyball team
(15-5, 3-3) returns home to
take on Texas Tech (15-5,
3-4) Saturday afernoon at
the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center.
Te Jayhawks appear to be
well on the road to recovery
afer sufering a 0-3 start to
conference play. At the bottom
of the Big 12 standings only
a week ago, they currently
sit in fourth, and will look to
improve that position with a
win against the Red Raiders.
Coach Ray Bechards squad
has seemed to fnd its happy
medium over the past few
matches. Its distributing the
ball better than it has all season
and giving its middle blockers
an opportunity to become
more involved. Senior outside
hitter Chelsea Albers has been
a force all season; her 3.17 kills
per set are seventh-best in
the Big 12, and shes recorded
double-digit kills in six of her
last eight contests.
While Albers has been the
backbone of this Kansas team
all year, there are several other
players who have increased
their contributions to propel
the Jayhawks out of the leagues
cellar as well. Sophomore
outside hitter Tayler Soucie
and sophomore libero Cassie
Wait have been two such
players. Each was awarded a
Big 12 weekly award for the
week of Oct. 12, with Soucie
earning the ofensive player
of the week, and Wait earning
defensive player of the week.
Tough Soucie had
been relatively quiet this
season prior to her 16-kill
performance against TCU,
the sophomore has been
extremely efcient with her
opportunities her .374
hitting percentage is second in
the conference. Wait has been
stellar on defense for Kansas,
as her 4.81 digs per set rank
third in the Big 12.
Texas Tech has struggled
mightily since beginning
conference play. Afer winning
its frst 13 matches, its now
dropped three of its last four
in the Big 12. Afer a light
non-conference schedule
that included matchups with
Gardner-Webb, Incarnate
Word and Texas-Pan
American, Techs sluggish start
isnt necessarily surprising.
Te Red Raiders are led by
sophomore middle blocker
Lauren Douglass and senior
libero Rachel Brummit.
Douglass, a transfer from Ole
Miss who sat out last season
due to NCAA rules, leads the
ofensive attack, averaging
2.62 kills per set on a .318
hitting percentage. Brummit,
a 2013 honorable mention All-
American, leads the defense,
averaging 5.14 digs per set
good for second in the Big 12.
As a team, Techs biggest
strength is likely defense.
Te .160 hitting percentage it
allows to opponents is second-
best in the league.
Te match begins at 1
p.m. and will be televised on
ESPN3.

Sporting KC heads into MLS regular season nale
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Coming into the fnal week
of the Major League Soccer
regular season, Sporting Kan-
sas City (14-7-12, 49 points)
has its spot in the 10-team
playofs locked up. But the
contest the team plays Sun-
day against the New York Red
Bulls (12-11-10, 47 points)
will be the most important
game it plays this season.
Te two teams will meet at
Sporting Park, separated by
only two points in the Eastern
Conference. Tat diference
could be made up by the Red
Bulls who currently sit at
the No. 5 spot with a win.
Kansas City also has the Co-
lumbus Crew (13-10-10, 49
points) to worry about. Co-
lumbus moved into the No.
4 spot with a 3-1 win against
New York on Sunday. It has
the same point total as Sport-
ing KC, but trails on win total,
which is the tiebreaker afer
points. Te Crew has a very
winnable game against the
Philadelphia Union on Sun-
day afernoon. It has already
defeated the Union twice this
season.
Sporting KC can secure its
No. 3 spot with a win or a Co-
lumbus loss on Sunday. But
the game isnt a shoe-in for
Sporting, as the team is 0-1-1
against New York this season.
Te good news is manager
Peter Vermes expects to have
captain and anchor defender
Matt Besler back for Sundays
match. Besler missed Sundays
match against the Union a
2-1 loss afer leaving the
United States Mens National
Team friendly against Hon-
duras with a thigh contusion.
Vermes also held out mid-
felder Graham Zusi in the
game against Philadelphia,
but he will be ready to go Sun-
day.
As for starting goalkeep-
er Andy Gruenebaum, who
strained his calf in training
last week and also missed
Sundays game, hes a question
mark. Vermes said Gruene-
baum has been ruled out for
the fnal CONCACAF Cham-
pions League match against
Deportivo Saprissa, although
a determination hasnt been
made for Sunday. Zusi wont
play against Saprissa due to
caution accumulation.
Te lineup for Tursdays
CCL contest in Costa Rica is
expected to feature a mostly
reserve squad on the pitch.
Sporting KC can come away
with a win, a draw or a loss by
one goal, and advance to the
knockout round of the CCL. It
wouldnt be surprising to see
Vermes load up defensively to
ensure Saprissa gets limited
opportunities.
Its of the utmost importance
that Vermes has his squad
fresh and ready for Sundays
MLS match, and hes going
to do that by resting them as
much as he can in Tursdays
contest.
Without a win, Sporting KC
opens the door to be booted
down to the bottom of the
conference playof seeding. If
Kansas Citys match results in
a draw, Columbus would only
need any win to jump Kansas
City, though it would hold of
the Red Bulls. If Kansas City
loses, it would automatically
drop to the No. 4 seed, and
Columbus would need only a
draw to drop Kansas City to
No. 5.
Te No. 4 and No. 5 seed
will meet in a single elimina-
tion game played either Oct.
29 or Oct. 30. Te winner
of that game will take No. 1
D.C. United in a two-game
series on Nov. 1-2 and Nov.
8-9. Te team with the most
goals through the two games
will advance. Te No. 3 seed
will match up with the No.
2 New England Revolution,
who comes into the playofs

The Jayhawks are coming off of

enough to win both games, but
terric goalkeeping kept them out

Ben Welle seeking
repeat performance at
El Paso golf tournament
Kansas will compete in its penulti-
mate tournament of the fall season
this weekend in the Prices Give Em
Five Invitational in El Paso, Texas.
The tournament features a 15-
team eld and is a par-72 course.
Kansas nished fourth last year
in El Paso, accumulating a three-
round score of 854 (-10). Kansas is
looking for its fourth top-ve nish
this season.
In last years showing, junior Ben
Welle led the Jayhawks, tying for
sixth and is looking for his third
top-10 nish for the season. Welle is
fresh off an eighth-place nish last
weekend at the Sagamore Preview.
I feel really good about my game
right now and returning to a course
that I am familiar with and did well
last year really gets me excited for
Friday, Welle said.
Kansas lineup will feature senior
Logan Philley, juniors Well and Con-
nor Peck, sophomore Chase Hanna,
and freshmen Brock Drogosch and
Gary Daoust. The freshmen have
regularly been rotated as Spencer
Painton competed last week. One
of the freshmen will partake in the
individual competition.
Ben was a huge help last year.
This course sets up well for him and
he drives the ball fairly straight,

Agents seize fake
World Series tickets
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Bogus
World Series tickets worth tens of
thousands of dollars, as well as
counterfeit panties and other mer-
chandise have been seized, federal
authorities said Wednesday.
Homeland Security agents
nabbed 126 counterfeit tickets
before Game 1 between the Roy-
als and the San Francisco Giants
on Tuesday. U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement spokesman
Shawn Neudauer said the tickets
had a $43,000 street value.
Its the Royals rst trip to the
championship in 29 years. The
World Series games in Kansas City
are mostly sold out, although the
Royals have sold a smattering of
tickets theyd held in reserve each
day. Some standing-room only tick-
ets are selling for as much as $400
on legitimate resale sites.
Three people from New York and
one person from Atlanta were ar-
rested in Kansas and have been
charged in the ticket scheme,
Johnson County District Attorney
Steve Howe said in a news release.
Authorities suspect more sports
fans bought bogus tickets from the
suspects, and urged them to come
forward.
Meanwhile, ofcials in Platte
County, Missouri, have charged a
homeless man with possessing
101 counterfeit T-shirts with trade-
mark KC lettering, court records
show.
Other counterfeit items seized by
Homeland Security agents include
baseball caps, cellphone cases,
sweatshirts, underwear and baby
clothes, as well as equipment used
to make the counterfeit items,
Neudauer said. The value of those
items wasnt immediately avail-
able.
Lindquist Press owner Eric Lind-
quist said he had no idea he vio-
lated copyright law when he printed
a few dozen pairs of womens un-
derwear with Take the Crown and
KC across the rear for Birdies
Panties in Kansas City. He said the
design was hand-drawn.
Federal agents handcuffed him
Tuesday and searched the Kansas
City shop where he lives and works.
Lindquist has not been charged.
I was telling them that I have no
interest in the Royals anymore or
baseball in general, he said. It
was quite an education.
Neudauer said seized items are
almost always destroyed, except
in rare instances when the coun-
terfeit trademark is removed from
clothing before it is donated. He
described the arrests and seizures
as very typical of a major sport-
ing event.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 11
A
fer a few turbulent
years in Austin, Rick
Barnes has pieced
together a team capable of
threatening Kansas Big 12
title reign. Texas returns all its
starters from last year, all of its
bench and added a top-fve re-
cruit in forward Myles Turner.
Texas, which beat Kansas
last year in its frst meeting
in conference play, on paper
will be a bigger threat this
season with perhaps the best
frontcourt in the Big 12. Junior
center Cameron Ridley an-
chors Texas defense again with
a third year under his belt and
will be even more efective as a
rim protector with more depth
behind him. Ridley averaged
2.2 blocks in just 25.6 minutes
per game last year.
Turner, who many scouts
have proclaimed is still a proj-
ect ofensively, is undoubtedly
a potential wrecking force in
the paint. He possesses a 73
wingspan, which will help
him alter shots behind Ridley.
Turner should come of the
bench as the season starts be-
hind senior forward Jonathan
Holmes and might lobby for
more playing time later on.
Tis trio of more than
competent big men presents
a plethora of problems for the
Jayhawks. Kansas coach Bill
Self has always had an afnity
for playing through his big
men, and theres no reason
to think that ideology will
shif. Perry Ellis, Kansas most
reliable ofensive player, will
shoulder a lot of the burden, as
will freshman Clif Alexander.
While Kansas can trot out
junior Jamari Traylor to match
Texas trio, it will be a tough
task for Kansas to cruise to
another Big 12 title.
While Texas is no juggernaut
ofensively with its returning
guards shooting 32.8 percent
from the perimeter last year,
its big men will still present
matchup problems for Kansas.
Center Joel Embiid was one of
the best defenders and rim
protectors in the country and
now that task lies in the hands
of Alexander. He is an under-
sized center at 6-foot-9 and
according to drafexpress.com,
Fundamentals on defense
still a work in progress. His
lengthy wingspan, however,
should be able to compensate
for that.
Another concern for Kansas
is the defensive production for
junior power forward Perry
Ellis. Ellis is more suited to
guard at the top of the key and
Traylor could see an uptick in
playing time if teams start to
get more physical like Texas.
Ellis reportedly has worked on
his defensive skills in the of-
season and the Texas matchup
should be a great gauge for his
progress.

U
nlike the NBA,
success in college
basketball is ofen
less about the talent of the
individual players on the
court and more about the
coaches and the systems.
Programs are defned by
their coaches from Bill Self
and Mike Krzyzewski to
John Calipari and Tom Izzo,
each of whom has their own
unique system that leads to
sustainable success.
Tat is why the Iowa State
Cyclones are the biggest
threat to Kansas domination
of the Big 12 conference and
the most likely candidate to
end the Jayhawks streak of
10 conference champion-
ships.
Fred Hoiberg was an-
nounced as head coach of
the Cyclones in April 2010
and since then he has led the
Cyclones to three straight
NCAA Tournament appear-
ances, including a trip to the
Sweet 16 last season. Before
Hoiberg, Te Cyclones
hadnt made the tournament
since 2005.
Hoiberg brought stabil-
ity, toughness and raised
expectations in Ames, Iowa,
and has a implemented an
ofense that has netted the
cyclones a .704 winning per-
centage over the past three
seasons.
With all that said about
coaching being more
important than the players,
Hoiberg has some excellent
players to work with this
upcoming season.
Junior forward Georges
Niang has been a force
for Hoiberg since join-
ing the program in 2012.
He was named to the Big
12 All-Rookie team and
averaged 12.1 points and 4.6
rebounds as a freshman. Last
season he made the All-Big
12 Tird Team and report-
edly shed 25 pounds afer
ofseason foot surgery.
Te Cyclones lost DeAn-
dre Kane and Melvin Ejim
but will turn to sophomore
guard Mont Morris and se-
nior forward Dustin Hogue
to replace that production.
Morris broke the NCAA
record and led the nation
with a 4.79 assist-to-turn-
over ratio in his freshman
year, according to cylcones.
com. Meanwhile, Hogue
provides a dual-threat as a
3-pointer-shooting forward.
Last season, Hogue fnished
second in the Big 12 in
rebounding while shooting
34.4 percent from beyond
the arc in 64 attempts.
Te fnal factor for the
Cyclones that threatens to
unseat Kansas in the Big 12
is their home atmosphere.
Much like Allen Fieldhouse,
the home arena for the
Cyclones, Hilton Coliseum,
has a reputation as a very
difcult place to win for op-
ponents. In 16 home games
last year, Iowa State lost only
one contest: their matchup
against the Jayhawks.
With the experience and
depth on his roster, Hoiberg
is poised to lead his team to
serious contention for the
Big 12 title.
Edited by Drew Parks
Following its 34-21 loss
to Texas Tech, the Kansas
football team heads into the
bye week (2-5, 0-4) with just
fve games remaining on the
schedule. Meanwhile, the
National Football League
approaches the halfway mark
of its own season.
Over the course of the frst
seven weeks, several former
Jayhawks have enjoyed strong
seasons at the sports highest
level, including a couple
of former Orange Bowl
teammates reunited in the
Mile High City.
In 2007, Kansas had
arguably its best defense in
school history. Te team
allowed just 16.4 points
per game, thanks in large
part to its cornerback duo
of junior Aqib Talib and
freshman Chris Harris. Te
two combined for seven
interceptions and 24 pass
defections by jamming
wide receivers at the line
of scrimmage and making
athletic plays on the ball.
Each player logged a crucial
interception in Kansas 24-21
victory over No. 3 Virginia
Tech in the Orange Bowl,
with Talibs being taken by for
the games frst touchdown.
Talib and Harris are back
doing business for the Denver
Broncos, and look to make a
deep playof run.
Including Talib and Harris,
Kansas currently has seven
former players on an NFL
roster. Southern California
has the most alumni in the
NFL with 49.
Historically speaking,
Kansas football has had 171
players drafed in the NFL,
not including undrafed free-
agents. Of those 171, six were
drafed in the top-10. Eleven
Jayhawks have won a Super
Bowl.
TANNER HAWKINSON, GUARD
CINCINNATI BENGALS
Kansas Career: Tanner
Hawkinson got the full
college football experience in
his time at Kansas, and then
some. An all-state defensive
lineman in high school,
Hawkinson was recruited by
Mark Mangino as a tight-end,
moved to the ofensive line,
was developed by Turner Gill
and polished by Charlie Weis.
He was named a freshman
All-American in 2009 and a
member of the second-team
All Big-12 as a senior in 2012.
NFL Career: Hawkinson
has played in two games so far
afer being drafed in the ffh
round by the Bengals in 2013.

CHRIS HARRIS, CORNERBACK
DENVER BRONCOS
Kansas Career: As a
freshman in 2007, Harris
was named to Te Sporting
News All-America
Honorable Mention and
All-Big 12 Freshman Team.
Te Associated Press also
named him Big 12 Defensive
Newcomer of the Year afer
starting 10 games with two
interceptions that year. As a
sophomore in 2008, Harris
was moved to nickelback
and registered 59 tackles.
His junior season he moved
back to corner, but then as
a senior, saw time at safety.
Afer four successful seasons
in the Kansas secondary,
Harris fnished third all-time
in Jayhawk tackles with 290.
NFL Career: Undrafed in
2011, Harris burst on the
scene when Champ Bailey
went down with injury. Te
only thing that has been
able to stop Harris has
been injuries. He tore his
ACL in a divisional game
against the Chargers and was
unable to play in the AFC
Championship and Super
Bowl.
With 216 tackles, 2.5
sacks, 42 pass defections,
eight interceptions and two
touchdowns, Harris was
named the 2011 Denver
Broncos Defensive Player of
the Year, Breakout Player of
the Year, and named to the
NFL All-Rookie team.
In 2012, he recorded the
longest interception return
for a touchdown in Broncos
history (98 yards) in a win
over the Baltimore Ravens.
STEVEN JOHNSON, LINEBACKER
DENVER BRONCOS
Kansas Career: A former
walk-on to the team, Johnson
was wherever the football
was. As a junior, Johnson
notched 95 tackles and two
sacks followed up by 120
tackles, three pass defections,
two forced fumbles, and
an interception his senior
season.
NFL Career: Undrafed
in 2012, he became an AFC
Champion along with Harris
in 2013. He has recorded 26
total tackles, a forced fumble,
and also added a blocked
a punt last season against
the Philadelphia Eagles,
returning it for a touchdown.
AQIB TALIB, CORNERBACK
DENVER BRONCOS
Kansas Career: A
unanimous All-American
(2007), Talib goes down as
one of the best defensive
backs to wear a Kansas
uniform. His 13 interceptions
rank second in school history,
none more memorable than
his pick-six in the Orange
Bowl when Talib felt like
Deion (Sanders).
NFL Career: Te 20th
overall pick to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and a member of
the 2013 Pro Bowl, Talib has
logged 263 tackles, 78 pass
defections, 25 interceptions
and two forced fumbles. A
few weeks ago, Talibs pick-six
prevented a potentially game-
tying drive from the New
York Jets.
DARRELL STUCKEY, SAFETY
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Kansas Career: Another
player on the Orange Bowl
team, Kansas went 31-19
during Stuckeys four years
on the feld. Afer a 98-tackle
season and an Insight Bowl
victory, Stuckey was named
to the 2008 All-Big 12 First
Team. Te Kansas City native
had his best games against the
Missouri Tigers, including
his tomahawk-chop strip of
Chase Daniel, and the two
picks that helped Kansas
come away with the 40-37
win in 2008.
NFL Career: A fourth
round pick of the San Diego
Chargers in 2010 and a two-
time Chargers special teams
captain, Stuckey has recorded
53 tackles, four forced
fumbles and two fumble
recoveries.
ANTHONY COLLINS,
OFFENSIVE TACKLE
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Kansas Career: Collins
protected Todd Reesings
blind side on the way to a 12-1
Orange Bowl season. Te
junior lef early for the draf

NFL Career: A fourth
round pick in 2008 of the
Cincinnati Bengals, Collins
spent time with the Bengals
from 2008-13 and signed
with the Buccaneers this past
March. Over his career, he has
played in 65 games and made
31 starts.
BRADLEY MCDOUGALD, SAFETY
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Kansas Career: McDougald
originally committed to local
Ohio State, but switched to
Kansas. He was recruited as
a wide receiver under Mark
Mangino and caught 33
passes for 318 yards as a true
freshman, but switched to
defense once Turner Gill took
over and was named All-Big
12 second team in 2012. He
fnished the season eighth in
the Big 12 in tackles with 92

Swimming and diving
looks to double dual
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
The Kansas swimming
and diving team returns
home after a dominating
effort at Nebraska-Omaha
last weekend. This weekend
consists of a double dual with
Denver and Missouri State.
Kansas is coming off a 99-41
win over Nebraska-Omaha
at the Freestyle Festival,
where the swimmers only
swam freestyle events.
Kansas won all but one
event. Junior Chelsie Miller
won the 500-yard freestyle
by posting a time in the top
five of her career (5:01.44).
She outpaced the second
place swimmer by nearly six
seconds.
Other swimmers who
performed well were Yulduz
Kuchkarova, Bryce Hinde,
Pia Pavlic and Hannah
Driscoll. Their 200-yard
medley relay won the event.
Both Denver and Missouri
State have mens swimming
and diving programs, while
Kansas does not. Kansas cut
the mens swimming and
diving program after the
2001 season due to a multi-
million dollar shortfall that
was projected in the athletic
departments budget for the
following five years.
Coach Clark Campbell
knows this all too well. His
son, Canaan Campbell,
swims for Missouri State.
The younger Campbell is a
freshman for the Bears and
swims freestyle, butterfly
and backstroke.
Missouri State has three
men and two women hailing
from the Sunflower State:
Brady Arvesen of Westwood,
Campbell of Lawrence,
Emily Chesser of Wichita
and Shawna Elsey of Olathe.
Denver doesnt have any
members on its team from
Kansas.
The schools may not be
Division I, but they are
full of talent. Denvers
freshman Ray Bornman and
sophomore Amanda Sanders
were named swimmers of the
week in the Summit League.
Bornman has received the
honor twice in her career.
Missouri States senior
Garrett Nevels was named
Mid-American Conference
Mens Swimmer of the Week
last week.
The Missouri State women
are coming off of a narrow
loss 120-121 against Drury,
while the men are coming
off of a 131-112 point win.
Both Denver men and
women won last weekend
against Colorado School of
Mines (Men), Colorado State
(Women) and Nebraska-
Omaha (Women).
Things get started for the
two-day meet in Robinson
Natatorium Friday at 5 p.m.
Action resumes at the same
place Saturday at noon.

Libby Sauder, a junior from
Prairie Village, is experiencing
the World Series from a
diferent perspective than most
Kansas City Royals fans.
KANSAN: What do you do?
SAUDER: I run memory cards
between photographers and
editors during the games, and
I retrieve extra equipment if
its needed. I worked the home
games for the ALCS and will do
so for all the World Series home
games, too.
KANSAN: Where are you
stationed?
SAUDER: I move all over. Tere
are two stations on the feld,
two near the fountains and two
in the concourse.
KANSAN: How did you get the job?
SAUDER: One of my journalism
professors told me about the
job, so I applied.
KANSAN: Are you a Royals fan?
SAUDER: Yeah, and Im not
allowed to root for the Royals,
or wear Royals clothing.
KANSAN: Is that hard?
SAUDER: Yes, one time I started
clapping, and I felt really bad.
Luckily I wasnt looking at any
TV cameras.
KANSAN: How many of you do that
job?
SAUDER: Tere are 12 of us,
four are students and eight are
adults.
KANSAN: What have you learned?
SAUDER: Ive learned that little

Te 2014 World Series
will move to San Francisco
for Game 3 as the Kansas
City Royals defeated the
San Francisco Giants 7-2
Wednesday night.
Te Giants jumped out to
an early 1-0 lead in the frst
inning, behind centerfelder
Gregor Blancos leadof home
run. Te solo shot was the
frst leadof home run in
a World Series game since
Dustin Pedroia of the Boston
Red Sox in 2007.
Kansas City designated
hitter Billy Butler responded
in the bottom of the frst,
driving in centerfelder
Lorenzo Cain from second
on a two out single.
In the second inning,
second baseman Omar
Infante doubled of the lef
feld wall to get into scoring
position. Te Royals then
took their frst lead of the
World Series with a double
from shortstop Alcides
Escobar.
Following a scoreless third,
the Giants were able to knot
the game back up with frst
baseman Brandon Belts one
out double. Te Royals were
able to turn a double play fy
out two right, and Belt caught
in between second and third.
Butler picked up his second
RBI of the night on a single
in the sixth, scoring Cain.
Outfelder Terrance Gore
pinch ran for Butler, and
catcher Salvador Perezs
doubled to right center drove
in Gore and frst baseman
Eric Hosmer. Te sixth
inning didnt end there;
Infante followed Perezs
double with a two-run homer
over the right feld wall to
extend the lead to 7-2.
Relievers Kelvin Herrera,
Wade Davis and Greg
Holland took the reins from
there, closing out a Game 2
win, and tying the Series at
1-1.
Tursday will be a travel day
for the teams, and the Series
will continue Friday night
at AT&T Park. First pitch is
scheduled at 7:07 p.m.

Kansas volleyball (15-
6, 3-4 Big 12) fell to Iowa
State (11-7, 3-4 Big 12) in
a five-set thriller, 25-18,
16-25, 17-25, 25-21, 12-
15, at Hilton Coliseum on
Wednesday evening. With
the loss, the Jayhawks end
their three-game winning
streak and drop to fifth
place in the Big 12.
Theyve had success
at home, but there was
opportunity there for us,
coach Ray Bechard said. I
guess to a neutral observer,
it was a pretty competitive
match. Weve got to figure
out some things as far
as who we are when it
comes to our competitive
personality.
Increasingly utilizing
their middle blockers,
sophomore Tayler Soucie
and freshman Kelsie Payne
were major contributors
once again. Soucie propelled
the Jayhawks to a hot start,
ending the first set with a
team-high four kills and
contributing on a couple
of key blocks. Payne would
go on to end the night with
a career-high 13 kills and
a game-high .357 hitting
percentage.
But after comfortably
taking set one, Kansas
struggled in sets two and
three, to fall behind 2-1. In
the second set, Iowa State
jumped out to an early
5-0 lead and never looked
back, taking the set 25-16.
Set three was more of the
same, as the Cyclones again
shot out to a 5-0 advantage.
The Jayhawks were simply
unable to find an answer for
junior libero Caitlin Nolan,
who tied a Big 12 record
with 43 digs.
The Jayhawks bounced
back to take the fourth
set, pushing the match to
a deciding set five. The
Cyclones jumped out
to an early 7-3 lead, but
Kansas bounced back to
tie the match at 8-8. It kept
things close but eventually
dropped the set 12-15.
We played one of our
better first sets, Bechard
said. I dont know why you
wouldnt respond better
in sets two and three, but
then we got back in it in
the fourth. Fifth sets on
the road are difficult. They
made more plays than we
did.

Despite its frst Big 12
losses of the season this past
weekend against Texas Tech
and West Virginia, No. 15
Kansas is ready to bounce
back against Iowa State
University on Senior Night
this Friday.
Tey were tough losses
because I think we played
really hard and we also
played really well, which
is what I think made them
so disappointing, senior
defender Caroline Van
Slambrouck said. I thought
we outplayed both teams
and we were the better side,
but you know, thats just the
nature of soccer sometimes.
You keep possession, you
control the game, and you
still dont win. Te team isnt
down; were disappointed, but
weve turned the page already,
and were ready to take on
Iowa State this weekend.
ISUs only wins of the
season have come from
nonconference play, as the
Cyclones are 0-5 in the Big
12. Te record is misleading,
coach Mark Francis said. ISU
is much better than it was
last year and has gained a lot
of athleticism, which will be
hard to counter.
Tey need points right
now to fnish in the top
eight [to qualify for the Big
12 tournament], Francis
said. Teyve been given an
opportunity to do that, so
Im sure theyll be coming
out here fred up to get some
points.
Te Jayhawks played their
starters for the majority
of the weekend, and Van
Slambrouck and Francis
agreed rest and recovery is
essential to prepare for Friday.
Even with a hungry team
coming in, the Jayhawks
arent worrying about the
other sideline.
We try not to think too
much about what [ISU] is
going to do because we know
if we play our game we will be
fne, Van Slambrouck said.
Te Jayhawks will honor
six senior members of the
team during a Senior Night
presentation. According to
Francis, this years seniors
have done an excellent job,
and he hopes to fnish their
home careers with a win.
For this senior group,
theyve been great for us,
Francis said. Especially this
year in terms of leadership
and keeping the team on
track. Teyve done a good
job.
Te prospect of Senior Night
drawing closer is a bittersweet
one, Van Slambrouck said,
and she is excited to play in
the atmosphere at Rock Chalk
Park one more time.
Im looking forward to
winning and playing with
the team, Van Slambrouck
said. Its always a great
opportunity to get to play
with the girls.

Soccer looks for Senior Night comeback
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
W
hen the NBA
incorporated its
new Collective
Bargaining Agreement a few
years ago, its main premise
was to promote competitive
balance, a tough task for any
professional sport. It clearly
stifed and altered more
creative thinking on how to
construct a modern-NBA
team.
A proposed lottery reform
would have given the worst
four teams equal odds of
winning the top pick, as op-
posed to the current system
that gives the worst team the
greatest odds. Te proposal
was meant to prevent a team
from tanking, or doing bad
on purpose to try and lock up
a high draf pick.
On Wednesday, the NBA
voted down the proposed
lottery reform, which was
seen as a shock considering
the perception of the shame-
less tanking orchestrated by
Philadelphia 76ers general
manager Sam Hinkie, who
sacrifced short-term sufer-
ing for potential long-term
success.
Tanking may not be a pleas-
ant for a fan, but in the NBA
theres no reward for being in
the middle of the pack. You
want to be in contention or
want to be downright bad to
ensure you can get a good
draf pick.
Teres absolutely no proven
evidence of tanking. Sure,
teams have been accused of
it, and its not right when a
team gets three No. 1 picks in
four years in the case of the
Cleveland Cavaliers.
But teams look ahead in
the future and winning 46
games doesnt help them do
that. Te Cavs traded for Luol
Deng in the middle of the
season in hope they could
make a run at the No. 8 seed
in the eastern conference and
still wound up picking frst.
Teres absolutely no
advantage to fnish near the
middle of the league. While
the perception is a pervasive
problem in the league, its
not as if owners of teams are
wholeheartedly supporting it.
Tey allegedly arent specif-
cally telling their executives
to tank, they want the reve-
nue. Tanking only brushes of
ticket holders and sponsors.
Teams dont try to lose, but
rather gain assets in the form
of cap space and future draf
picks in the big picture. NBA
isnt a one-year business;
teams are more conscious in
mortgaging current losing for
future gains. Also, sustained
success is obviously harder
for smaller-market teams
not wanting to go over the
luxury tax. Drafing franchise
players is the main avenue to
achieve this.
Before buying into the
idea of tanking, realize that
small-market teams have to
do what they can in order to
thrive in the most efective
way. Teyre not throwing
away its season, they are just
playing the game that the
market dictates.
