Social Media Policy next

The University Senate recently
finalized a procedure that outlines
what would happen if someone
was reported to have violated the
Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR)
social media policy. According
to Breeze Richardson, director of
communications for KBOR, the
social media policy states that
employers have the right to discipline employees for speech and
allows for individual universities to
decide how to handle a violation of
the policy.
Currently, the University doesnt

With only two issues released
so far, plenty of questions have
yet to be answered, with the
biggest being: who is she? Its
the guiding mystery of the new
storyline.
Its a story we havent seen
before, Aaron said. We have
seen a lot of different Marvel
characters being replaced by
other versions. I really liked
the idea of replacing a character like Thor with a female
version.
Aaron said his motivation
behind this switch was solely a
storytelling one.
It wasnt about changing
Thor to a woman and figuring
out as we go who she is, Aaron
said. Its really telling a very
specific story with a very specific character even though we
dont know exactly who she is
yet.

James Woelfel
Kansan: What are some of
the changes you have noticed
at KU?
Woelfel: The town and the
University have really grown.
I think Lawrence had a population of 35,000. When I first
came here there were about
15,000 students at KU and
thats all more than doubled
in the years since then. The
University was just run more
informally the first years I
was here. We didnt have an
extensive system of faculty
and student governments at
that time. Things were pretty
much run by deans and vice
chancellors and chancellors
and their staff. These were
all things that grew over the
years and I think particularly in the 1970s. The first on
campus civil rights protest
at KU took place. A group of
students sat outside the chancellors office in Strong Hall
and had a list of demands to
end a lot of discrimination
and segregation on campus.
Then the womens movement really got going at KU
in about 1965. When I was
coming here it was a time of
anti-war protests, Vietnam,
and there was a lot of activity on the KU campus then.
So it was an exciting, kind of
an exhilarating time; it was
Jim Sherman
Kansan: What has it been
like being at KU for so many
years?
Sherman: If you look up
where Wescoe is, Wescoe
wasnt there essentially when
I first came. There were some
buildings there but it wasnt
Wescoe. I came to Kansas
because there was a group
of faculty members, some
of whom I knew very, very
well and some of whom I
had worked with before. So I
stood right at the top of that
hill in the middle of August
and it was hotter than heck.
F. Allen Hanson
Kansan: What has been the
biggest change since your
first day here at KU?
Jack Porter
Kansan: What is the biggest
change youve noticed at KU?
Porter: First of all the University has grown quite a
bit by not only student enrollment but by the number of buildings here. When
students would come back
and visit with me, you know
theyd be gone for two or
three years, theyd say I cant
believe the change in campus.
And Id say, What changes
are you talking about? And
then they would say, Oh, you
know, theres this new building here or there. Finally, after Ive been here for 20 years
or so, I realized that all this is
going on all the time and I,
since Im part of the campus,
I didnt realize it was changing so much and thats always
a surprising part to me. So
when students come by and
visit after theyve been gone
for a couple of years I usually ask and we talk about the
changes in campus and so
forth. Its been interesting in
that sense.

Im glad new coach Beaty
can recruit well, recruiting
players like current Texas
A&M quarterback Kenny
Hill. He has also mentored
current NFL receiver Mike
Evans, who is tearing it up
for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year in his rookie season. Sure he knows
the system, as he was an
offensive assistant under
Turner Gill in the 2010-11
season. But can Beaty run
a football team? Can he
help this team become a
winning team? As of now,
we will have to wait and
see. Im glad Clint Bowen

would have been nice to
see him earn the job, too.

3. Tough non-conference
schedule will help the Jayhawks
improve
Theres probably nobody
out there that will be playing a
tougher stretch than what we
will, but I do think it will be
good for us, Self said. This is
the toughest non-conference
week we have. We will definitely be challenged.
Santa Barbara was good for
us. Rhode Island was good
for us, and Tennessee in a tie
game with six minutes left was
good for us. Michigan State
was good for us. And Florida being down 18 was good
for us, even though we didnt
like it. So theres been something we can draw from. And
of course if was good for us
to get handled [against Kentucky].

early in season
BASKETBALL
BEATYS BEGINNING
David Beaty begins new role as head coach
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Kyle Pappas
@KylePap
late addition to a
recruiting class that
featured blue-chip
prospects Cliff Alexander and
Kelly Oubre Jr., 17-year-old
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk was,
predictably, a bit of an afterthought for many entering the
season.
Now, seven games into
basketball season, the freshman
from Cherkasy, Ukraine, is
arguably the teams biggest
surprise. He leads all Jayhawk
newcomers in minutes per
game and is the only freshman
to start more than one regular
season game thus far.
Though, in hindsight, maybe
we should have seen this
coming.
After all, as coach Bill Self
noted before the season,
Mykhailiuk has likely seen the
stiffest competition of any current Kansas player during his
time as part of the Ukrainian
national team.
When you stop and think
about who has played against
the best competition? [Svi] may
have, Self said. And who has
played against the strongest
men? [Svi] may have.
Still, like most freshmen,
Mykhailiuk hasnt been without
his share of bumps in the road.
Hes gone cold from long range
at times and appears to still be
shaking off some early-season
jitters.
Both factors have likely contributed to Self s apparent reluctance to use Svi in pressure
situations; he saw only four
minutes of second-half action
in the Jayhawks comeback win
against Florida and only five
minutes against Tennessee the
week prior.
But for a freshman whose
ability to provide an immediate
impact was often questioned
in the preseason, the positives
vastly outweigh his minor
early-season struggles.
For one, Mykhailiuk resoundingly passes the eye test.
Concern over his capability to
physically match up with opponents has quickly been quelled.
He moves his feet and body as
well as any Kansas player on
both offense and defense. And
though he clearly has room to
grow strength-wise, it hasnt
been nearly the bugaboo that
many imagined it to be prior to
the season.
Toss in an impressively quick
release and silky smooth stroke
from behind the arc, and its
hard not to get excited about
Mykhailiuks potential.
Last week, CBS Sports Gary
Parrish wrote a piece titled Is
Svi Mykhailiuk the real prize
of Kansas heralded freshman
class? In it, he talks to several
NBA scouts concerning Svis
possible future in the league.
What NBA scouts told me
is that Mykhailiuk is the best
long-term prospect on KUs
roster, Parrish wrote. Hes a
6-foot-8 wing who is a goodenough passer, a willing defender, and a top-shelf shooter
even though he hasnt actually
shot the ball well through six
games.
For now, Svi remains somewhat of an enigma albeit, an
intriguing and talented one.
