astrunk@kansan.com The dismantling of the Office of the Vice Provost of Student Success resembles a game of musical chairs. Yet University officials said the moves are intended to fill other empty seats on campus: the ones left by low student retention rates. The University announced a reorganization on Sept. 9 that creates four new provost positions but leaves

four positions, including the Vice Provost for Student Success, unfilled. Marlesa Roney, the former student success vice provost, informed the University she was stepping down during the summer. Gavin Young, provost communications coordinator, said the University made the moves to help improve retention and graduation rates. Currently, 61 percent of students attain degrees in six years or less at the University. Twenty percent of freshmen drop out. Both of these numbers rank among the lowest in the Big 12. What we are trying to do with the change is to position the units to attack those goals and the goals that are outlined in the strategic plan, Young said. Young said the new structure will do this in a number of ways. First, it will improve interdepartmental communication since all four of the new positions will answer directly to the Provost instead of to the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success. The newly created units the vice provost for student affairs, the vice provost for enrollment management, the vice provost for diversity and equity and a future vice provost for undergraduate education can focus more on specific segments of the Universitys new strategic plan rolled out on Sept. 14 called Bold Aspirations. Young said the departments will focus on helping students with stronger recruitment programs and better student orientation and services. Were looking for ways to expand on the first-year experience, he said. The University hopes these changes will improve low retention and graduation rates, while also improving students overall college experience. Its like the chancellor likes to say,

rankings are important because people look at the rankings, but thats not why you make the changes, Young said. You dont increase your graduation and retention rates because its good for your rankings, but because its good for your students. Young said no employees lost their jobs in the reorganization but only transferred departments.

Marlesa Roney, former Vice Provost of Student Success, said she made the decision to step down after an administrative teaching position became available at the University. My career plan has always been to end my career in a teaching position, Roney said. Its very rewarding to work with young professionals who want to work in a university setting. Roney said that the biggest adjustment for her would be the extra free time. For 17 years I have pretty much had back-to-back meetings every day, she said Now my entire day is not packed back-to-back-toback. Roney will also receive three months off each summer. She said she hadnt made any plans yet for her vacation period, but promised she would come up with them by the first of May. Roney worked for nine years with the Universitys administration.

RonEys Plans

While Young said the finances of the reorganization were not the main issue, the change may save in some short-term money for the University. With the movements and shake-ups, four employees, Matt Melvin, Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, Tammara Durham and Jason Hornberger, take over new positions and responsibilities. According to Young these four will receive raises amounting to $97,000. The savings of not filling Roneys position amount to $111,000 after accounting for Roneys new salary of $75,000 as a professor. These $111,000 in savings offset the raises and put the University $14,000 in the black for the next year. However, a number of positions, including the future vice provost of undergraduate education, are either not filled or are filled an interim basis. It remains unclear in the future if the reorganization will either cost or gain the University money.

By thE numBERs

Marlesa Roney leaves the position of Vice Provost of Student Success to become a professor in the subject of university administration. Matt Melvin moves up from associate vice provost to become the new vice provost for enrollment management. Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, previously an assistant vice provost, becomes a special adviser to the provost with Chris Haufler. Both positions will be replaced by the new vice provost for undergraduate education, once the University hires someone to fill the position. Tammara Durham leaves the position of associate vice provost to become the interim vice provost for student affairs. Three associate vice provost positions remain unfilled. Jason Hornberger will take over the position of provost business manager. information provided by Gavin young.

Theater lawrence to reenact Clyde Barrows robbery of First National Bank
bobby burCh
bburch@kansan.com History, some say, is cyclical. And this Friday at Tellers restaurant, 746 Massachusetts St., a littleknown piece of Lawrence history repeats itself as members of Theater Lawrence reenact the heist that began Clyde Barrows bank-robbing career. Tellers, the Eldridge Hotel and Theater Lawrence are working together to stage the reenactment to inform and entertain the Lawrence community. Lawrence actor Shawn Trimble plays the role of Barrow. Clyde is an interesting character, Trimble said. He doesnt fit the stereotypical East-Coast, Brooklynaccented figure that a lot of us evoke in our memories. Hes a Texan. Hes charismatic, good-natured, a little devilish, but by all accounts a personable individual when you encountered him as long as you werent standing between him and his goal. Barrow typically worked with Bonnie Parker, and the two led the Depression Eras most notorious gang as they tore through the Midwest on a two-year robbery and murder spree. But Barrows trip to Lawrence didnt include Parker. In April of 1932, Barrow just two months after a two-year stint in a Texas prison and two cohorts were driving north from Texas to Minnesota to rob a bank. The Great Depression had led to the closure of thousands of banks and left many

cmcinerny@kansan.com Up until this summer, Lizzie Alonzi needed a lot of guidance from teachers in her computer science labs. But after interning with Garmin at the Bioscience Technology and Business Center (BTBC) on West Campus, Alonzi, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., is nearly proficient in classes because of the skills she picked up over the summer. The BTBC offered Alonzi this opportunity because Garmin is one of its tenants. The BTBC attracts companies in the technology and bioscience fields, and with the opening of its third facility at the University of Kansas Medical Center on Wednesday, the institution is expanding. Between the two facilities in Lawrence and its newest one in Kansas City, Kan., the BTBC is the largest incubator program in the state with 11 tenants. The goal of the BTBC is to help fledgling bioscience and technology companies, University research projects, and to collaborate with large, established corporations. Many of the BTBCs clients are software and pharmaceutical businesses seeking help launching their businesses. The BTBC not only provides office and lab space for these companies, but also offers guidance writing business plans and helps them access students

Despite the economic situation, the gang decided to head toward Okabena, Minn., where they heard a bank was thriving. After reaching the town, however, a snowstorm complicated the groups escape route and they decided to head back south. On the journey southward, the driver, Ralph Fults, became tired and decided to stop at a town they drove through on their way to Minnesota a little city named Lawrence. The posse booked a room at the Eldridge Hotel with a view of the prosperous First National Bank at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets. The bank was so busy that the large crowds concerned the inexperienced bank-robbers. But after three days of observation, Barrow noticed that the banks president let himself inside the building about 15 minutes before any security or employees arrived. The gang agreed that they would rob the bank the next day. The following morning, Barrow and Fults greeted the banks president and two employees with sawed-off shotguns and .45 caliber pistols.

After a few minutes, Barrow and Fults exited the bank with two sacks of money containing roughly $33,000 the equivalent of about half a million dollars today. Cash in hand, the robbers drove across the Kansas-Missouri state line toward St. Louis. The First National Bank never reported the robbery to police and there was no news coverage of the event. However, John Neal Phillips, a professor at Tarrant County Col-

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Egypts military leaders should lift the countrys emergency laws as soon as possible. Egypts interim government recently extended the Hosni Mubarak-era laws into the middle of 2012. But Clinton says the U.S. hopes to see the laws lifted sooner so a democratic system of checks and balances can be established. Clinton spoke Wednesday after meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Muhammed Amr. She voiced support for Egypts attempts to defuse tensions with Israel after protesters recently stormed the Israeli Embassy in Cairo. The pair said they discussed investment opportunities in Egypt and Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Amr criticized Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and urged resumption in negotiations as soon as possible with clear terms of reference and a clear timeline.

The Security Council took its first official step Wednesday to consider the Palestinians request for U.N. membership. Lebanese Ambassador Nawaf Salam, who holds this months rotating council presidency, announced that he was forwarding the Palestinians request to the committee on new admissions, which includes all 15 member states on the council. The step is required by council rules of procedure. The committee will meet to consider the request for membership on Friday. Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour thanked the council for quickly and unanimously agreeing to act on the Palestinian application. We hope this process not to take too long before we see positive action, he told reporters. The process could take weeks before it comes to a final vote in the council.

A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with large remotecontrolled aircraft filled with explosives. Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials hed requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive. Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and graduate of Bostons Northeastern University, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Worcester (WUS-tur) on Wednesday afternoon. A message for comment was left for his attorney, Catherine Byrne. According to the federal affidavit, Ferdaus began planning jihad against the U.S. in early 2010. He allegedly believed he would have a large psychological impact by killing Americans, whom he described as enemies of Allah.

A key protected witness in a war crimes trial in Kosovo has been found dead in Germany, and he apparently committed suicide, officials said Wednesday. Nicholas Hawton, an EU spokesman in Kosovo, said Agim Zogajs body was discovered in a park in a German city. German police confirmed that, saying the witness is believed to have hanged himself late Tuesday in the Duisburg, western Germany. He committed suicide. There are no indications for a different explanation, police spokesman Stefan Bauer said. But he also said an autopsy will be carried out Thursday. Zogaj was known as protected witness X in the war crimes trial against a former ethnic Albanian rebel commander and now a senior politician, Fatmir Limaj. Zogaj was granted protected witness status in return for his testimony in the Limaj trial.

lege in Fort Worth, Texas, and author of Running with Bonnie and Clyde: The Ten Fast Years of Ralph Fults, said in an e-mail that during his interviews Fults explicitly described the Lawrence robbery. Ralph was always crystal clear about every detail of this Lawrence robbery, Phillips wrote. He was adamant that the place was Lawrence, the perpetrators were he, Barrow, and Hamilton, and the take was $33K. To corroborate Fults statements on the Lawrence robbery, Phillips spoke with three eyewitnesses that knew Barrow, Hamilton and Fults had committed a robbery in late March or early April 1932. Phillips said that everything Fults told him about the robbery checkedout, including things he didnt believe at first. One theory of why the robbery was unreported is that it was in the banks interest to avoid attention of the event. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was not yet founded and account-holders money was not federally insured. A robbery could represent an insecure bank which might have caused depositors to withdraw their money. Last spring, Tom Wilson, owner of Tellers restaurant at 746 Massachusetts St., was approached by a customer with some documents regarding the history of his restaurants building. Retired University of Kansas professor Ray Souza said that after reading Phillips book Running with Bonnie and Clyde, he wanted to share his discovery with Wilson. Do you realize that this was the first bank that Clyde Barrow robbed? Souza asked. Thats interesting how many are in your party? Wilson replied. Wilson said that at first he dismissed Souzas claims, but after researching the bank robbery hes convinced of its truth. He brought me all this information and for the next six months I studied and tried to trip myself up. I didnt want to announce this to the world if it wasnt true. Wilson said. Im ironclad, as sure as it can be now that this was the first bank that he robbed. After investigating the robbery, Wilson spoke with Patti McCormick, director of media and special events for the Eldridge Hotel, about coordinating an event to inform the Lawrence community. One of my concerns was: Did this really happen? There was

campus Fedex office to close

jESSIE bLAKEboRoUGh
jblakeborough@kansan.com Student Senate Treasurer David Cohen announced in his member report Wednesday that the FedEx office in the Kansas Union will be shutting down. Cohen is working with University officials to replace FedEx with another organization that will work to maintain similar student fees. Keeping students money on campus where its convenient is very important to me, Cohen said. In addition to the closing announcement, three guest speakers and organizations kicked off Wednesdays Student Senate meeting with presentations, including the School of Engineering Student Council. School of Engineering Student Council President Amir Bachelani said that transparency with Student Senate, which funds various Engineering clubs throughout the academic year, is important to him. The purpose of the Engineering Student Councils presentation was to show off previous projects including Jayhawk Motor Sporting Clubs first place winning car and an airplane built by Jayhawk Heavylift. You dont get to have donations from a company and not show them your progress, Bachelani said. The same applies with Student Senate. Presidents, team leaders and members from KU EcoHawks and Engineers Without Borders also attended the presentation. Senior Phillip Twist from Morris, Okla., has been working with Jayhawk Motor Sports Club for two years. Last year, Twist designed and built the carbon fiber monolithic rims that reduced rotational mass and improved performance and fuel economy. This is my baby right here, Twist told senators. The less it takes to spin the wheel, the better it is for everyone. This is the future. This year Twist is responsible for building the chassis, or the body of the car, in his senior design project class. Of the 70 members of Jayhawk Motor Sports, 36 are getting credit from the club. The president of EcoHawks, Ryan King, said these engineering clubs offer more for students than just credit. In class you learn a lot of theory but in the work place you have to apply theory to make something and to get a result, King said, We are able to design and build a project from the bottom up, testing all of the design stages like we would in a real job. Bachelani said he thinks that in order to continue to recruit the best and the brightest students, funding is essential. Showing that students can make the fastest race car in the world, build an airplane or go to Bolivia inspires and creates some of the best and brightest in the industry, Bachelani said. Cohen said that having guest speakers is important for senators to hear from students and administration about the business processes that go on at the University. We can make more informed decisions on how to better serve the University by having these people come speak, so thank you to them, Cohen said. Edited by alexandra Esposito

Portrait of American bank robbers clyde Barrow (1909 - 1934) and Bonnie Parker (1911 -1934), popularly known as Bonnie and clyde, circa 1933. really no record of it with police, the LJ-World or the bank. We had to do a lot of research to find out if this really happened, McCormick said. Once we found out it was a real event, we both said, Lets try to stage it and reenact it. Once McCormick confirmed that the robbery took place, she approached Theater Lawrence about staging a reenactment of the robbery. Kay Traver, market development coordinator for Theater Lawrence, said she was thrilled when McCormick asked the theater to do a production. Its something that could have been lost and forgotten, Traver said. But because of a few determined individuals were able to bring out this really cool event. The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., will be hosting a cocktail party from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. this Friday where guests can meet the actors portraying Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker, Ralph Fults and Raymond Hamilton. Afterward, Barrow and Fults will walk down Massachusetts Street with unloaded sawed-off shotguns, hold-up the bank president and rob the vault. Hamilton will wait in the getaway car, which is the same 1933 Ford used in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, and drive north across the Second Street bridge. McCormick said that in order to accomplish the reenactment, which uses real guns and closes Massachusetts Street traffic temporarily, she had to pitch the idea to the Lawrence City Commission. Aron Cromwell, Mayor of Lawrence, will be performing as the First National Bank president, William Docking. Cromwell said he was unaware that Barrow began robbing banks in Lawrence and thinks the history would intrigue the community. Were always interested in our history in Lawrence. It wouldnt surprise me to see this reenactment becomes a regular feature, Cromwell said. Not that were celebrating bank robbery, but more appreciating our towns place in history. Tom Wilson said that Tellers diners will watch as Barrow and Fults guide president Docking by gun-point to the vault, which now holds the restaurants bathrooms, to snag the bags of cash. Wilson said that he hopes the reenactment becomes an annual event in Lawrence, and plans to team up with the Eldridge to offer hotel and dinner packages. Edited by Jonathan Shorman

Students in task force list never contacted

SARA SNEAth
ssneath@kansan.com On Tuesday the University released the final report from KUs Americans with Disabilities Act task force. The report is the outcome of several months of committee meetings among more than 100 members of the University community, according to KUs press release. In the report, under each of the six subcommittees titles are the names of at least one KU student. The names are marked with an asterisk; a note on the bottom reads: Student representatives appointed after the sub-groups were established may not have participated in sub-group meetings. Preston Browns name can be found under the Academic Accommodations sub-group. Brown, a sophomore from Wichita, said he told KUs ADA-Title IX Coordinator that he would participate in one of the ADA task force subcommittees back in March. Although he gave the coordinator his contact information, Brown said he never received an email or phone call to tell him when the subcommittee meetings were. At least one KU student served on each of the six subcommittees, said Fred Rodriguez, co-chair of the task force. Rodriguez said its likely that some people in the subcommittees could not make all the meetings. The students involved in each of the subcommittees should have been part of the contact list, Rodriguez said. Elizabeth Bore, a senior from Leawood, was appointed to the Employment sub-group. She said she emailed Rodriguez earlier this month about the subcommittee meetings and was told that they still had not met this year. Bore said she was surprised to find her name listed in the report.

and faculty at the University. It also allows its businesses access to the funds it receives from local, state and federal government agencies. Some products these tenants are developing include a drug for ovarian cancer and a software program for managing legislation for the government. Matthew McClorey, executive director of the BTBC, said the entrepreneurial skills his staff provides help create strong businesses in the area. The University has assets that [potential] companies wants access to, McClorey said. This is about getting a large company to establish a site here in this community. Having these companies in Lawrence and on KUs campuses helps to provide jobs for students and members of the community, as well as helping to keep these new businesses local. Without this support system of facilities and services, technologies developed at the University would be exported out of state to another company, McClory said. This is creating opportunities for students to stay here and work here, as opposed to leave the state. Why should you have to go to California to work with a software company? John Ferguson, a computer programmer for Garmin, works at the BTBC at its main facility on West Campus. Unlike small start-up companies that need help launching their businesses, Garmin rented space at the incubator for other reasons. We wanted to build relationships with the University and set up an office where we can bring in potential future employees, Ferguson said. By being so close to University students, Garmin can find computer science and engineering students like Alonzi to work or intern

Most of us never heard anything and are waiting to be invited to our first meeting, Bore said. We were promised involvement. Student Services and Programs subgroup chair, Mary Ann Rasnak, said the student in her subcommittee attended at least half of the meetings. Rasnak said her subcommittee worked around the students schedule to ensure she was able to attend as many meetings as possible. We met as a task force every few weeks. In between the meetings we had were separate subcommittee meetings, Rasnak said. Co-chair of the task force, Fred Rodriguez, said students had a voice in bringing issues to the task forces attention. They played an absolutely critical role in what we did, Rodriguez said. Edited by Sarah Mccabe

the BtBc will further connect the University with companies and technology firms and provide invaluable assets to KU students in the field. for them. Alonzis experience with Garmin would not have happened if the company was not present in Lawrence, so the BTBC is not only helping companies flourish, but students as well.

the National Association of theatre owners, the countrys largest trade group of exhibitors, has lashed out at sony pictures concerning its plans to stop footing the bill for 3-d glasses and pass the expense on to moviegoers. however, sony may not be alone in its crusade for long, as at least one other studio is considering following suit. sony recently sent a letter to cinema owners informing them that as of May 1, 2012, it will no longer pay 3-d technology companies such as reald the average cost of 50 cents per ticket for 3-d glasses used by moviegoers. sony has two big 3-d movies coming out after May 1 next year: Men in Black iii and the Amazing spider-Man. such costs can add up to more than $10 million for particularly popular films. instead, sony wants theaters to follow a policy thats already common in other parts of the world: having consumers pay for their own disposable 3-d glasses, either to rent for each movie or to own a pair they can take home. Consumers already pay a premium of about $3 dollars for each 3-d movie ticket. After news of the letter surfaced in the hollywood reporter, exhibitors fired back wednesday morning with a letter decrying the move. NAto believes sonys suggestion is insensitive to our patrons, particularly in the midst of continuing economic distress, the group said. sonys actions raise serious concerns for our members who believe that provision of 3d glasses to patrons is well established as part of the 3d experience. in addition Amy Miles, chief executive of regal Entertainment Group the nations largest theater circuit said her chain might show fewer 3-d films if it was forced to bear the cost of glasses.

After 33 years of piquant and sometimes irascible commentary, 92-year-old Andy rooney will surrender his regular gig on CBs legendary newsmagazine 60 Minutes this weekend. rooney will sign off with a final piece his 1,097th on sundays program, preceded by a retrospective segment on his career with longtime colleague Morley safer, the network said in a news release tuesday. in addition to his own often attention-grabbing views he once scolded those who mourned the 1994 suicide of kurt Cobain by saying hed never even heard of the Nirvana frontman before then rooney is one of the last on-air links to the glory days of CBs News, when 60 Minutes regularly topped the ratings and anchorman walter

Nominees expand rock n roll genre

mCCLatChy tribune The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation released the list of nominees for 2012 induction Tuesday, and its eclecticism continues the voting bodys widening of the definition of rock n roll. The nominees are: Beastie Boys, the Cure, Donovan, Eric B. & Rakim, Guns N Roses, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Freddie King, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rufus with Chaka Khan, the Small Faces/The Faces, the Spinners, Donna Summer and War. Of those, Beastie Boys, Summer, Donovan, the Peppers and War are repeat nominees. Acts are eligible for enshrinement 25 years after the release of their first single or album and will be voted in or out by the foundations more than 500 voters. For music fans who have lost interest in the induction process, perhaps the knowledge that the 2012 ceremony will be held April 14 in Cleveland (tickets go on sale to the public in December) will bring you back to the fold. Nevertheless, it is an interesting group with the classic 1970s R&B and disco of Summer, the Spinners, and Rufus with Chaka Khan mingling with goths first entry, the Cure, along with late folksy songstress Nyro and the hardcore hip-hop of Eric B. & Rakim. Part of the fun is handicapping which artists will eventually walk the red carpet, step on stage and give a speech come next spring, so lets have at it, shall we? A few of these folks chances appear pretty slim. Disco queen Summer will likely have to wait, but she will probably be able to commiserate with Detroit vocal group the Spinners, who under the guidance of producer Thom Bell gave the world Rubberband Man, They Just Cant Stop It the (Games People Play), Could It Be Im Falling in Love, One of a Kind (Love Affair) and Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me, Girl. Also likely to remain on the nominee list are Rufus with Chaka Khan, who had big hits with the Stevie Wonder-written Tell Me Something Good, Aint Nobody and the oft-covered Stay. Khan would probably have a better chance of getting in as a solo artist (her debut was released in 1978), but as yet the 10-time Grammy winner hasnt been nominated. The Afro-Latin band War is one of the few R&B groups whose songs get played on classic-rock radio (specifically Low Rider and Cisco Kid) and through much of the 1970s they brought a nice Latin soul flair to their run of hits.

Cronkite was dubbed the most trusted man in America. virtually all of rooneys on-air colleagues from when he joined 60 Minutes in 1978 including Mike wallace, harry reasoner and Ed Bradley have either retired or died; only safer, 79, and Bob schieffer, the 74-year-old host of Face the Nation, remain at work. theres nobody like Andy and there never will be. hell hate hearing this, but hes an American original, Jeff Fager, the chairman of CBs News and executive producer of 60 Minutes, said in a statement. its harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits him.

University of Kansas staff, students and administration should do more to help surrounding elementary and secondary school districts. Education in Kansas City has taken a big blow as the Missouri State Board of Education revoked the Kansas City, Mo., school systems accreditation. Kansas City now joins St. Louis as major Missouri cities with nonaccredited school districts. The move was made by state officials to put the system on notice and allow it time two years to recover after making only three out of the 14 performance standard benchmarks set by the state. All Missouri jokes aside, this is a serious setback that affects the University; the Kansas City area feeds more than 800 students to the University. Its only 40 miles away from the Lawrence campus and hosts the largest University medical center. If students arent taught well at the primary and secondary level, theyll be less prepared for college. Additionally, a report from the Kansas State Department of Education states that high school dropouts from the class of 2006 cost the state more than $2.6 million in lost wages, taxes, and productivity over their lifetimes. The University shouldnt start pumping money to fix Kansas Citys problems with finding a permanent superintendent and increasing academic performance; thats the responsibility of the school systems board and Missouri. But it does have resources that can help. The Universitys departments should organize more externships to local school districts, including Lawrence and Kansas City. Liberal arts and education majors may be able to help out in classrooms, but engineers and architects can design school buildings and machines. Medical students can conduct local free clinics for children. Business and

Externships needed to help local schools

law majors can draft business models and long range plans for school boards. These externships will give University students valuable experience, especially if they cant find jobs and internships related to their field of study because of the stagnant economy. The University also will invest in the Kansas community, a priority in its mission statement, and indirectly advertise the KU brand, leading to greater University pride. Future students may be more inclined to choose the University over Kansas State, Missouri and other Big 12 institutions if they interact with University students as they grow up. The University can become a unique asset to the state and local school districts, but it requires initiative from the University community. Vikaas Shanker for The Kansan Editorial Board

next time you wear a dress that comes up farther than your butt, dont go commando. For all of our sakes. FFa, you complete me. Just saw a guy carrying a broom on campus. oh quidditch practice. i saw Tech n9nes bus on campus. does that count as a celebrity sighting? To the guy walking around in a full body suit on campus: i respect you. Sometimes i wonder if there is a force that makes 90 percent of college students wear sweats. That force is probably alcohol. i may have just realized i just might need clinical strength deodorant. But admitting you have a problem is the first step. if youre going to eat in the library you must do it with your mouth closed. if you keep smacking your lips and tongue, i just might smack you. it sucks being 6-foot-6. all women assume youre staring down their shirt when you talk to them. i might be doing that, but dont just assume. its not fair all the free booze tits provide. Totally rammed my head into the UdK stand trying to get my paper. i guess i was just too eager. The kid sitting in front of me has a piece of grass in his hair, but he is always rude to me. What to do ... note to self: avoid Wescoe beach when in a hurry. Weaving through 100 homecoming chalkers is impossible. a third grader just called me sketchy. Yeah, and your mom and dad pay me to look after you. Jokes on them. Mizzou has a Harry Potter class. Silly muggles. requred fire safety meeting? really? if you are in college and dont know what to do in the case of a fire you shouldnt be in college. Editors note: If youre in college and cant spell required you shouldnt be in college. Effin parking department man Frat guys: im not giving you my change because you shouted at me with a megaphone.

lEttEr to the EditOr Letter criticizing democrats is misguided

This letter is in response to the Sept. 26 letter sent to The Kansan by Monica Hart. In it, she attacks the Democratic leadership in our country, and spreads a good layer of fallacies about Republican proposals. This letter is to hopefully educate not only her, but the readers. For starters, the Health Care Choice Act she references to was not in any way bipartisan, and would only have codified into law one singular thing: to allow consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines. Although this is an idea I dont disfavor, it fails to do one specific thing: insure more Americans. It is not a law that is anticipated to drive down insurance premiums, and most importantly it is not expected to change the staggering number of uninsured Americans. I would also point out that even under the Republican-controlled House prior to 2006 this was never passed through the legislature. Furthermore, the assertion that Republicans have been consistently presenting bipartisan legislation prompts me to ask Ms. Hart a question. In the words of Barney Frank, On what planet do you spend the majority of your time? The complete dissolution of Medicare and Social Security, the two major golden cows of the Democratic party, into totally new and uncharted programs is not a compromise. That is an overhaul of something one party clearly supports when it knows that the other party will never accept. Unfortunately for Ms. Hart, reality either eludes her due to her partisanship, or she deliberately ignores it. Lastly, and this may come as a shock to the Constitution-toting Republicans, there was an election in 2008. The Republicans ran a candidate for the executive; the Democrats ran a candidate. The Republicans lost; the Democrats won. The House flipped in 2010, but the Senate stayed in control of the Democratic party. What Im getting at it is fairly simple the minority party does not have the right to set the national agenda. Ms. Hart, elections have consequences that is one of them.

t has to be hard to work in show business for Will Arnett. Or maybe its incredibly easy, because he has only played one character his whole career. Arnett is best known for co-starring in Foxs Arrested Development as George Oscar Bluth II, or Gob (pronounced Jobe), an arrogant moron who helps hold back the family business. After the show was canceled (which is a recurring theme in his career), Arnett has had a hard time finding roles that are any different. The bigger problem, though, is that now he cant seem to find a steady job in real life. Throughout Arnetts career, he has played the same Gob character in many guest appearances, supporting characters in movies and starring in a recently canceled Fox series, Running Wilde. This is known as being typecasted. Arnett is constantly asked to play the role of a character that is much like the Gob character of Arrested Development. Though his character is great for a guest appearance (which he has done on many shows including 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and The Office) Arnett just cant find a way to make it last. Until now. Finally, Arnett has found a place with NBCs Up All Night acting as a completely new character. Sure, hes still playing an idiot, but at least he isnt arrogant. Arnett plays the stay-athome husband as Christina Appelgate plays the wife who is a hard working television show producer. The show centers on the couples home and work lives as they have become parents to a newborn. Though the show has only aired three episodes, it is clear that Arnett has broken free from the typecast. The problem is: Will the show last? Since it is about a family dealing with a newborn, the demographic it attracts becomes limited. Im sure a lot of the students on campus are not

interested in a show about becoming adults, caring for a child and realizing their youth is slipping away. Though Arnetts shows usually attract the younger demographic, this show does not, which may cause it to slip in ratings, and possibly be canceled. If Up All Night doesnt last, Arnett will have starred in two shows that have been canceled in the past year. Sure, he might be able to find another chance on another sitcom; be able to guest star for awhile and let the time pass and minds forget his numerous amount of chances theyve given him. He can ride that Gob train that Arrested Development has created for him, as Arnett has confirmed on the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron that there will definitely be an Arrested Development movie. If the movie is finally made, (making thousands of fans, like myself, happy), Arnett will be staring down another problem: He is taking his typecast to the big screen. Arnett will once again be playing the exact character that has made and broke his career. If Up All Night doesnt allow Arnett to stay away from the Gob typecast, he could be looking at the end of the road. Then again, he could just become a real stay-at-home husband and let his wife, Amy Poehler, bring home the bacon. Dylan Lysen is a junior from Andover in journalism

Dorsey returns, provides depth

EthAN PADwAY
epadway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_B12Fball Kansas defense received a much-needed boost when senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey returned to practice last week after sitting out since breaking his foot in August. Dorsey is expected to play on Saturday and will add experience to a young defense that ranks last in Dorsey scoring defense in the Big 12. Its going to help us out a lot, senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. It will give us more depth on the D-line, and the D-line will be able to rotate. If the D-line keeps those offensive linemen off the linebackers, then were going to create a pass rush and different holes will open up. Dorsey could create a ripple effect across a Kansas defense that has forced an NCAA-low one turnover. Dorsey was named Kansas defensive player of the week twice last season, including in one of the Jayhawks finest defensive performances of the season against Nebraska. Dorsey had four tackles and one forced fumble in that game. Its going to help a lot because when it comes down to it, that penetration and that pressure on the quarterback allows the timing to get messed up, and thats when the interceptions come, sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. Whether Dorsey can make his presence known immediately will be seen on Saturday. He was still on crutches just three weeks ago, but Dorsey said he is 100 percent and ready to go. I hope he can play every snap Saturday, defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. We wouldnt do that to him, but you hope that he could. Shealy said he would try to minimize Dorseys snaps this week. Itd be easy as a coach to put him out there and let him go to see how he feels, Shealy said. But as a coach we just need to be wise and let him work into it. Shealy said although Dorsey is not the biggest guy he weighs just 273 pounds at a position where players routinely weigh more than 300 pounds but he possesses a unique combination of speed and strength that can challenge offensive linemen. Dorsey has 35 career tackles in 21 games for the Jayhawks. Going into the season, he was a projected starter at defensive tackle. Dorsey did not travel with the team to Atlanta and watched the game on TV. I wish I was out there, Dorsey said. But at the same time, I wasnt. We lost that game. It was a tough loss, but at the same time, were going to bounce back this week. He will now finally be able to bring his enthusiasm from the sideline to the field. Im so excited, he said, being a senior and being a part of this defense, to be able to help those guys. Edited by Jayson Jenks

Kansas State charged with stopping baylor

MaNHattaN Nothing like proving your worth as a defense with a gamewinning goal line stand during a road game against a nationally recognized opponent. Now, Kansas State returns home to face a Heisman trophy candidate and one of the best offenses in the country. life doesnt get any easier for the Wildcats against No. 15 baylor on Saturday. While holding Eastern Kentucky to 129 yards of offense and Kent State to

199 in its first two games didnt elicit much national praise, Kansas States 28-24 upset at Miami last Saturday certainly turned some heads. there was that doubt across the nation because wed stopped some offenses, but we hadnt stopped any notable offenses, defensive end Jordan Voelker said. there was much ado about the speed of Miamis offense going into last weeks game, especially after the Hurricanes knocked off nationally ranked ohio State.

Former player returns to Kansas as assistant coach

RYAN mccARthY
rmccarthy@kansan.com Coaches wish they were still players. They miss putting on the jersey. They miss standing at midfield beSmith fore the game as the national anthem plays and their adrenaline begins to build. And they miss scraping and clawing for every minute because they dont want to leave behind any regrets. Jessica Smith, 26, represented all these qualities when she played at Kansas between 2002-2005. Now, in her first year as a full-time assistant coach, shes hoping to pass on those same traits to the current Jayhawks. As a coach, things are a lot different and as a player you dont realize all that goes into being a coach, Smith said. Its been fun seeing the other side of it. A team captain for two years at Kansas, Smiths passion for coaching started when she helped run the youth soccer camps. Shes lived it and breathed it, coach Mark Francis said. So I think its easy for her to translate it, especially to recruiting, because shes been here and done it. Other than recruiting, Smith also occasionally shows her soccer skills by scrimmaging with the players during practice. I think we practiced Saturday and she had every single goal on our team, senior forward Kelsey Clifton said. Youd think she wouldnt be as good since she hasnt played in a while, but shes awesome. Although Smith crushes the competition in practice, its a little more taxing physically than in her playing days. At the end of the day, in my heart, Im a soccer player and I always will be, Smith said. Its just now my body isnt working quite as well as it did when I was in college. Kansas players realize the reason she plays so hard against them in practice is to improve the team. She makes it really competitive but also helps you out when youre playing to know what you did wrong, freshman midfielder Kelsey Lyden said. After leaving the program upon graduation in 2006, Smith coached in the Kansas City area before coming back to Kansas in 2009 as a volunteer coach. In her current position, she works with the Jayhawks with a hands-on coaching style. Throughout the week she teaches players during individual workouts and is a constant presence around the program. She knows if were having an off drill or something, senior midfielder Jordyn Perdue said. But she also knows how to crack a joke and get us to smile and relax. Shes a leader, and she wants to win, and you can work hard for someone like that. Fine-tuning the players during the one-on-one sessions are an enjoyable part of Smiths job. How do you bring these elite athletes to their full potential and get them to the next level? Smith said. You have to be creative and figure out all sides of the game and figure out ways to keep pushing them to get better. In addition, the individual workouts are beneficial to the players because they are able to open up with Smith on more than just soccer. She can relate to all of us as individuals and soccer players, Clifton said. Shes someone we can go to for anything whether it be personal life or on the soccer field. As the Jayhawks move deeper into conference play, Kansas can also rely on Smiths experience in the postseason. She was a member of the programs first Big 12 regular-season championship in 2004. Even with her long list of accomplishments, Smith doesnt like to talk about her glory days unless it helps the team. Theres time when I do talk about my experience, Smith said. But really I want to have them to build their own experience. Edited by Jayson Jenks

and serving. So it isnt unusual to see a libero that has a good serve, and were glad that Bri could step up and get some good aces for us. Bechard said he was also encouraged by the teams aggressive and fiery body language in the loss, even with the game out of reach. The Jayhawks will need that fire when they return to the state of Texas this Saturday for a night game against

Baylor in Waco. In this league and at this level, youve got to have a love and passion for the game, Bechard said. So hopefully that will continue and we can just execute at a little better level next time around. Edited by Sarah McCabe

Davis earns spot on watch list for award

Junior forward carolyn Davis of Houston was named to the preseason watch list for the State Farm Wade Trophy. The National Association of Girls and Women in Sport presents the award to the NcAA Division I Player of the Year. Four othDavis er Big 12 athletes join Davis on the 25-member list. The award committee compiled the list after evaluating players season

statistics, leadership, character and effect on their teams. Davis was named to the All-Big 12 First Team last season and was invited to try out for the USA World University Games Team over the summer. She led the team with 19 points and 7.4 rebounds per game and ranked second in the nation, shooting 66 percent from the field. Davis was also named a cocaptain for the second year in a row after starting all games last year. The award will be presented at the end of the season at the 2012 NcAA Womens Basketball championship in Denver.

I think its really good for baseball, but its not so good for my stomach. Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona on the tight American League playoff race

Junior golfer Alex Gutesha hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation on the final day of the Cardinal Intercollegiate in Louisville, Ky. kuathletics.com

ith baseball playoffs right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how American League teams adapt to National League rules and vice versa. One of the major differences between the two leagues is the presence of a designated hitter in the American League. While each league has a very different style of play, they both have pros and cons that add to the excitement of the game. Lets take a look at some of them.

Q: Who lead the NFL with 42 tackles? A Linebacker Pat Angerer of the Indianapolis Colts

ESPN.COM

1. You lower the risk of your ace getting injured in the batters box or rounding the bases. 2. It allows an opportunity for older players to extend their careers. For example, the Yankees moved Jorge Posada from catcher to designated hitter in an effort to relieve his knees from the stress that comes with playing the position. It also gives players a spot in the lineup that may not be as strong defensively, such as the Boston Red Soxs David Ortiz. 3. You can extend the outings of your pitchers because you wont need to send a pinch hitter up for them in key at-bats. 4. Rallies wont be broken with the pitcher coming up. Instead, you can use a bigger bat higher in the lineup. This usually results in higher scoring and more exciting games. 5. It provides a spot in the lineup for any

Cons:

1. It takes away from the traditional element of the game. A pitcher is a position player, so shouldnt he bat too? 2. Bunting is rarely seen in the American League. 3. There is no reason to substitute a designated hitter, so the players on the bench play less. 4. Less strategy is involved in the American League. 5. Longer at-bats from designated hitters mean more pitches for opposing pitchers.

1. Bench players are used a lot more because the manager will want a runner with speed on base or a better bat at the plate. 2. Bunting and small ball occur much more frequently. For example, if a pitcher is up with a man on and fewer than two outs, you will most likely see him bunt in an attempt to move the runner over. This is because the odds of him getting a base hit are much lower than anyone else in the lineup, so he tries to put the runner in a better position for the top of the lineup to drive him in. 3. A greater level of strategy is involved in the National League style of play through the use of double switches and substitutions. 4. Every position player gets to bat. The pitcher can help himself secure a victory by knocking in runs. 5. During interleague play, National League players have an offensive edge over the American League players because they get more practice in the cages.

abilities, so why should he have to hit? 4. Even if a pitcher is throwing a great game, his outing could be cut short if the manager decides he wants a better bat at the plate. 5. You risk losing fresh arms for the season. If the Rays were to lose James Shields, theyd be looking at a completely different season. At the end of the day, designated hitter or no designated hitter, baseball will still be baseball. Personally, I like the American League style of play, but as long as theres still baseball being played, I think the game can stay just the way it is. Edited by Stefanie Penn

Cons:

1. The pitcher is almost always an automatic out. No one wants to see K,K, F4, K in the box score. 2. You lose the excitement of rallying late in the game. 3. A pitcher isnt drafted for his hitting

COMMENTARY

Record checks too slow

can do it, Carmichael said. No matter what, you have to keep playing. One encouraging sign throughout the sweep was the serving of sophomore libero Brianne Riley. Riley finished with one ace and 13 digs. Mayfield said Rileys quality serves did not surprise her. I dont think its unusual, Mayfield said. A liberos main job is to pass, but they also get to serve. Those are the main areas they work in at practice, digging

wont begin this column with a joke about the sheer incompetence of the NCAA. That would be too easy. I will tell a few stories, though. The first story centers on University of Tennessee freshman wide receiver Justin Hunter, who was pulled from practice last month after issues with his high school transcript arose with the NCAA Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse, in a nutshell, determines if a potential collegiate athlete is eligible or not. According to govols.com, Hunters high school records were under review even though he graduated high school three months before. Until a decision was made he sat and waited. Hunter was eventually cleared, but seeing as the high school credit in question was from an online class he took during the summer of 2009, the decision didnt need to take that long. Hunters story isnt unique. Its a reoccurring nightmare for college players and coaches across the country who become handcuffed when the Clearinghouse knocks on their doors, usually at the least convenient times. Kansas fans should know the Clearinghouse all too well. Just last year it held freshman guard Josh Selby in limbo until mid-November before issuing a nine-game suspension for accepting impermissible benefits while in high school. Unfortunately for Kansas fans, it wasnt the last time the Clearinghouse investigated a future Jayhawk. It was announced last month that incoming freshmen Ben Mclemore, Jamari Traylor, and Braeden Anderson had yet to be cleared while the NCAA further reviewed their high school transcripts. Each player attended three different high schools. Understandably, investigating three different high school transcripts can get tricky. Anderson was ruled a partial qualifier and thus unable to play for Kansas this year. Mclemore and Traylor still wait to hear their fates. But when your job mainly consists of checking different high school transcripts, should it really take this long to rule yay or nay? The three players graduated three months ago, and if the classes in question were taken before their final semester of high school, the Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling. Im not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players. Im arguing for a ruling. In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. Im no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year in every sport, not just football and basketball is a pretty significant number. And if Im not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30? Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it cant be much worse. Edited by Jonathan Shorman

sophomore defensive specialist brianne Riley and sophomore outside hitter catherine carmichael collide after diving after an attack by iowa state during the third set of Wednesday nights game at horejsi athletic center. the Jayhawks lost three straight sets to the No.-16 ranked iowa state to lose 22-25, 17-25, 15-25. the Jayhawks are now 11-3 for the season and 0-2 in big 12 play.

Matt galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_vball The start of Big 12 play has not been kind to the Kansas volleyball team. The Jayhawks (11-3) were swept by a ranked team for the second time in five days, falling to No. 16 Iowa State (12-2) at home on Wednesday night, 25-22, 2517 and 25-15. The Big 12 conference is a new season and were in an 0-2 hole in our new season, said coach Ray Bechard. The gap between the

top team in the league and the bottom team in the league is very blurred right now, and there is a lot of parody. Every match that we go out is going to take a good effort to win. The Jayhawks actually jumped out to early leads in the first and second sets. The first was backand-forth, but the second saw Iowa State go on a 10-0 run after the Jayhawks took a 6-2 lead. The Cyclones never looked back, seizing a 5-1 lead in the third and eventually winning by 10 points. You cant let a good team go on a seven-, eight-, nine-, 10-point

run, Bechard said. Thats what Iowa State did, and to their credit, they came out and executed their game plan better than we did. Several backup players saw the court for the Jayhawks due to an injury to freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton. Sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael saw the most playing time in McClintons absence, finishing with five kills and a .056 attack percentage. Both Bechard and senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield said they did not think McClintons injury affected the teams performance

very much in the end. Bechard said that Carmichael has proven herself to her team. Shes very capable and weve got all the confidence in the world that even though she didnt have her best match today, shell bounce back and be ready to go Saturday, Bechard said. Carmichael has dealt with a nagging hip flexor strain all season. She said replacing an injured player while dealing with an injury herself is challenging. Its difficult, but I think its just one of those things you have to push through and know you

Kansas odds of winning seem slim

texas techs history with Kansas may repeat itself
ryan Mccarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com In 2004, the 2-1 Kansas football team initiated a trend that has continued to this day. The Jayhawks led Texas Tech by 25 points with 48 seconds remaining in the first half. In the second half, Texas Tech, with their patented air-raid offense, had stormed back to cut the Jayhawks lead to six, and then did something strange. Texas Tech had the ball with two minutes and 47 seconds remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone including the Kansas defense by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson. Henderson ran up the middle and didnt stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win. The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as theyve gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders. The losses havent been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in every game against Texas Tech during the losing streak. In Kansas last two losses to Texas Tech, in 2008 and 2009, theyve given up a total of 105 points while only scoring 42. Yet, coach Turner Gill had little concern for what has happened in the past. That doesnt have any imSeth Doege is at a similar level of passing as Northern Illinois quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish. Against Kansas, Harnish threw 33 passes and completed 27 of them for 315 yards and two touchdowns. In addition to passing with confidence and ease which Texas Tech is known to do the Red Raiders have added a potent rushing attack to their offense with the 38th best rushing attack in the nation. The numbers really appear to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game. So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the fourgame losing skid. To overcome those odds, theyll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders. Youve got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm, Shealy said. In three ball games, theyve had 21 passes for over 20 yards. Youve got to limit that big play, and no ones done it. Hopefully we can do it. Edited by Jennifer DiDonato

pact on this ball game, Gill said. Were looking at their team and what theyre doing in 2011 and were looking at what were doing here in 2011. Whats happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks. Texas Techs offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game. Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesnt have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders quarterback junior

facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat texas tech. the Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
