Lawrence leads Manhattan in energy conservation competition
katie Miller kmiller@kansan.com After almost seven months spent trailing Manhattan in the Take Charge Challenge, Lawrence has finally taken the lead, but only by a narrow margin. Lawrence and Manhattan have been competing all year to see which community can conserve the most energy in the statewide energy efficiency challenge, but with bragging rights and a $100,000 prize on the line, Lawrence needs to hang on to its lead for the final six weeks of the competition. Gaining the edge over Manhattan has been arduous, but according to Take Charge Challenge Coordinator Greg Beverlin, theres a bigger picture behind the competition. We are rivals, but I think every city involved in this benefits, said Beverlin, The main goal is for people to make long term changes. Yet as the Take Charge Challenge nears its finish line on Sept. 30th, the intrastate rivalry certainly seems to be intensifying. Lawrence is ahead in the two out of three competition categories. To stay ahead, Lawrence students and residents are encouraged to contact Westar Energy about installing WattSaver thermostats, as well as switch incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs and register them at takechargeks.org. If Lawrence can emerge victorious, the $100,000 in grant money will go toward several energy savings projects for the city. According to Beverlin, the projects were chosen by Eileen Horn, Sustainability Coordinator for Lawrence and Douglas County. They include

The UDK is all about traditions. Though we changed our look, theres one tradition we cant get rid of: the weather jay. We do think that the Weather Jays could use a facelift, though. Thats where you come in. We want you to help us redesign them. Send ideas or submissions to editor@kansan.com and look for more information about a the Revamp the Weather Jay Contest later this week.

Tropical Storm Irene barreled toward Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Sunday, packing heavy rains and winds that closed airports and flooded low-lying areas in the Leeward Islands. Strong winds and battering rain were expected late Sunday over Puerto Rico, including its outlying islands of Vieques and Culebra. U.S. forecasters had earlier expected the storms center to pass just south of Puerto Ricos southern coast, but now said it could pass over the island of nearly 4 million inhabitants. The storm is wobbling a little bit. It is moving more to the west-northwest than we anticipated earlier, said Cristina Forbes, an oceanographer at the center.
Supporters of President Hugo Chavez shaved their heads in solidarity with their leaders struggle against cancer on Sunday as hundreds prayed and sang at a televised event. Barbers shaved off the hair of several men and at least one woman while the crowd swayed to a religious song. Chavez, bald from chemotherapy, smiled, clapped with the music and waved to the crowd. Those attending included a group of six from the Dominican Republic who shaved their heads outside the Venezuelan Embassy in their country on Friday. Chavez greeted the Dominicans with hugs and stood arm-in-arm with them.

More than 185 people have been killed in South Sudan in a recent cattle raid and an unrelated militia attack, officials said Sunday. The incidents underscore the challenges and insecurity faced by South Sudan, which became the worlds newest country when it declared independence in July. South Sudan army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said fighters loyal to rebel leader George Athor crossed the border from north Sudan and attacked a town in South Sudans Upper Nile state. Aguer said the violence which started Friday left 60 people dead, including seven soldiers and 53 militia members. He said the soldiers managed to repel the attackers.
Reclusive North Koreas autocratic leader Kim Jong Il crossed into Russia Saturday on his armored train to discuss with President Dmitry Medvedev the possible renewal of nuclear disarmament talks and the construction of a pipeline that will stream Russian natural gas to both Koreas, the Kremlin and media said. Kims visit to the Cold War ally is a further sign of Pyongyangs increasing efforts to reach out for economic assistance and diplomatic support. North Koreas official media did not specify when a meeting with Medvedev would take place, but said that Kims visit was at the invitation of the Russian president.

her grandfather came from modest means and was the only person in his family to attend college. He eventually earned a PhD and became a professor. With a degree from this university you have the world at your fingertips, Johnson said. A few other members of the faculty also gave brief remarks during the Convocation, a ceremony filled with tradition. During the processional, faculty were led into the auditorium by Maria Carlson, the University Marshall. She carried the university mace, a shaft made of wood from the old Fraser Hall and lined with rubies and sapphires that shine crimson and blue. At the end of Convocation, the alma mater was sung and the crowd participated in the Rock Chalk chant. Edited by C.J. Matson

ODD NEWS thirsty boy gets lodged in chimney in quest for drink
WEST vALLEY CITY, Utah An 8-year-old boy desperate for a drink tried to get into a neighbors home by sliding down the chimney, but got stuck for more than four hours, authorities said. West valley City police Sgt. Robert Hamilton said the thirsty boy climbed a tree to get onto the homes roof, then slid down the chimney feet first on Friday. The boy made it 30 feet down the chimney before he became wedged between the basement and main floor. Hamilton said the boy, who lives several blocks away, recently had been in the house for a play date with a grandchild visiting the family who lives there. The family, who had gone out to dinner, returned home to hear a boy crying in the chimney, Hamilton told the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News. I was haunted by the fact we had this child in our chimney, said the homeowner, Richard Draper. Because of the narrowness of the chimney, as well as its twists and turns, rescuers could not pull out the child with a rope, Hamilton said. They cut an 8-by-5-foot hole in a wall to free the boy, who escaped with little more than scrapes and bruises. The boy was surprisingly very calm on scene. His only worry was he was still thirsty when we got there, Hamilton said. The boy was able to move his arms, so rescuers dropped water to him. A firefighter carried the sootcovered boy to his mother, who reported him missing earlier. Hamilton said he didnt know who would pay for the repair the hole in the home. Associated Press

jgormley@kansan.com school to college. 5. Enjoy the festivities. The university offers many opportunities to attend sporting events, academic presentations, and free social events on campus. Check out calendar.ku.edu/events. 6. Always call seatback. In some ways, we never grow up. If there is one thing that pisses a person off more than anything, it is getting up for two minutes and returning to find the best heist since Daniel Ocean was on the big screen. Trust me, call seatback.
7. Establish a place where you always put your keys, phone, wallet, etc. What causes more anxiety than waking up and realizing you have no clue where your most valuable items are? Nothing. 8. Keep up with your hygiene. Just because mom isnt around to wipe your nose is not a valid excuse for a ghastly appearance. College is no place to dress like a bum. 9. Invest in headphones. The Parking Department makes it very difficult to park anywhere near class. Put your ear buds in and enjoy the walk. 10. Seize every opportunity that you are offered (within reason). Because your time here will be short. Dont take the college experience for granted. As Tom Petty once said, RelaxThe work never ends, but college does.
1. Dont tell your high school hero/prom queen stories during lecture. Just dont. Welcome to college. 2. Dont wear your wristband to class. Nobody cares that you went to the bar last night or how hard you blacked out. 3. Dont be afraid to learn new customs. A major advantage of KU is the diverse community it serves. Acknowledge diversity. Ignorance is never cool. 4. Dont always ride the bus. Buses are overcrowded and foul smelling, so I hear. Besides, the exercise will make you feel better. 5. Dont park illegally. Dont do it! The Parking Department will not stop until every rogue parker has been dealt with. They are watching. 6. Dont send your bank statements to your home address. Part of college is growing up. If
Donts.
you cant, make sure you get the email bank statement. If anything, youll save a tree. 7. Dont buy your books until you know youll need them. Dont rent them either. If you buy them, you can at least sell them in a pinch. 8. Dont be a bad roommate. If your roomie bought some dishwasher soap, then you can buy a few rolls of toilet paper. Enough said. 9. Dont stay in your room all day. Video games and Netflix will isolate you from the college experience. 10. Dont shack in your first week. Who are we kidding? At least get it out of your system before classes commence. Jordan Gormley is a senior in political science and psychology from Hiawatha. Follow him on Twitter: @jjgormley.

We have added the elements of a dont forget blurb at the bottom, along with big, eye-catching referrals to inside pages and our website, Kansan.com. On our first inside page, we have a roundup of the worlds most important news of the day. We know youre busy, and we try to break down what it is you need to know in just a few hundred words. Our map will help you put into context just where that news is happening. Throughout the paper, youll notice small aesthetic changes that I hope will keep bringing you into great stories, and highlight our great reporters, photographers, columnists and illustrators. A higher emphasis has been placed on the aesthetics of your paper this semester lead by a great team of visual journalists who are just as excited about this redesign as I am. I would especially like to thank those who worked on the summer editions of The UDK who were able to work out many of the kinks that stood between unveiling our product for you today. We hope that a modern, more colorful, bolder Kansan will serve you better. After all, it is yours. Pirotte is the art director for the Kansan.

Members of Quiet Corral had one of their biggest performances to date as they played on the second stage at Buzz Beeach Ball in LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Friday. Other bands at the concert included Janes Addiction, Incubus and Bush. KELSEY CIPoLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Quiet Corrals Jesse Braswell Roberts sang into the microphone while beating on a drum alongside guitarist Isaac Flynn as the bands set ended. The Lawrence-based bands small audience crowded around the second stage and seemed to expand the longer they played at Buzz Beach Ball, held Friday night at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The audience, a mix of fans as well as people hearing the band for the first time, gathered to see and hear the kind of performance that has garnered Quiet Corral a large local fan base and gigs across the country. And they did not leave disappointed. Andrew Perkins, a fan from Shawnee, said that Quiet Corral is awesome. I bought their CD off of iTunes a while ago and loved it, he said. Other members of the audience were unfamiliar with the band and showed up to hear headliners Bush, Incubus and Janes Addiction. Performances were staggered throughout the night and over two stages, making it easy to listen to all the bands performing. I have no idea who these guys are, but they sound really good, attendee Rachel Miller said. Miller walked over to where Quiet Corral was setup after AWOLNATION, an indie rock band, finished playing on the main stage. Band members were excited about the opportunity to play to a new crowd and with big name bands that have been stars of the alternative rock scene since the 90s. Flynn said one highlight of the night for Quiet Corral was getting to meet artists they had grown up idolizing, like Tom Morello. LIVESTRONG Sporting Park is the largest venue the band has played, and the scale of the event caused some technical difficulties. The volume of the bands music on the other stage made it difficult for Quiet Corral to perform a soundcheck, which resulted in a sound problem for the first two songs. But it was not enough to ruin the bands experience. There was a time when I looked up and thought Wow, Im playing in a stadium right now, Flynn said. We definitely hope to continue to play events like that and play with bands of that caliber. Edited by Rachel Schultz

COMMENTARY
By Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
uly 24 was a monumental step for the gay community. New York legalized same-sex marriage, a topic of national debate. Im not going to get into whether same-sex marriage should or shouldnt be allowed. Im not the one to make that call. What I am calling for is more acceptance and tolerance, especially in sports. One simple action by a highprofile athlete could pay more dividends than any legislation could. The sports world already has made some efforts to address the issue. In June, the Chicago Cubs joined the San Francisco Giants in creating a video for the It Gets Better campaign, a project intended to call for an end to LGBT bullying and harassment. Shortly after, the Boston Red Sox also created a video for the project, which was launched in September 2010 in response to a string of suicides by teenagers who identified as gay or were perceived as being gay. San Francisco felt the need to participate because lifelong fan Sean Chapin started an online petition. The Cubs became part of the campaign because Laura Ricketts, co-owner of the Cubs, became the first openly gay owner of a professional sports team in 2009. This is a step in the right direction, and certain players have made individual efforts to promote equality as well. Football Hall-of-Famer Michael Irvin supports gay rights and said he would support any athlete who comes out. New York Ranger Sean Avery has backed marriage equality for some time now and has received some criticism for it. More athletes are coming out, but many have retired or arent the stars of the league. Im still waiting for the day when an all-star from MLB, the NBA or the NFL comes out to the public. Weve seen former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes come out. Weve seen Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir come out. Weve seen World Golf Hall of Famer Karrie Webb come out. I think the reason more players dont come out is they dont want to be ostracized, but overcoming those fears could go a long way in changing perception of minority sexual identities within sports, as well as in society. Sports are so far behind the curve of society. The sports world tends to latch on to cultural changes years after they are effected. However, if more athletes come out and say they support equality or say they are gay, I think more people will accept it. Children look up to athletes. If an athlete wants equality, I would think young fans would want the same thing. They would think that its OK, because their favorite player thinks its OK. As much as we dont want to admit it, sports are an integral part of society. Americans follow them with such a close eye that any slip, e.g. Tiger Woods, is endlessly scrutinized. While there is still racism in this country, having Jackie Robinson break the color barrier was one of the greatest moments for sports and for this country. While there was outrage, Robinson became one of the most celebrated athletes of our time. If an athlete of similar caliber to Robinson were to announce today that he or she was gay, it would be an even bigger victory than the legislation in New York. Edited by Joel Petterson

just feel like one out of 162; they actually mean something and contain suspense and excitement. Whats that you say? Football isnt your thing? You prefer ftbol? Well the fall has you covered too. European soccer kicks off its campaign in this season too. I love waking up at 4:30 in the morning to get my Liverpool fix and knowing that doing so will means Ill never walk alone (if you dont get that, then shucks). But wait, you dont like football or ftbol, but you love cold surfaces, nets, and full contact? Well the NHL drops the puck in the fall too. When your football or soccer team is having a rough week, maybe seeing some bearded men laying out in front of 90 mph slap shots, getting slammed into walls or just straight-up fighting will brighten your mood. Still dont like any of those sports? Well basketball tips off in the late fall. While it may look like a rebuilding season for Kansas basketball, lets remember Sherron Collins words from the 2008-09 sea-
son: It doesnt matter who plays, this is Kansas. The fall offers every spectator something special. Enjoy the bevy of sports; while the season may suggest the year is coming to a close, the sporting year is just beginning.

sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael of the Crimson team delivers an attack on the Blue team during saturdays scrimmage. Carmichael a total of 12 kills for the afternoon. kansas opens at home sept. 2 against Belmont. mAtt GALLowAY mgalloway@kansan.com The upperclassmen on the volleyball team have been raving about team chemistry since organized practices began two weeks ago. Saturdays Crimson and Blue exhibition provided a glimpse of that chemistry with the regular season opener just six days away. Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had 11 kills, senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield had nine of her own and the Blue team defeated the Crimson team on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19. The exhibition pitted Jayhawk against Jayhawk as a conclusion to the teams preseason two-a-day practice schedule. I thought it was great to get the team on the floor in front of a live crowd, live refs and a game environment, coach Ray Bechard said. This gave us some more info about our team and will continue to help us prepare for next weekend when we start up for real. The volleyball team opens its season on the road on Aug. 26 in Athens, Ga., at the University of Georgia Bulldogs Invitational. At the fall Olympic sports media day on Aug. 17., Bechard discussed the importance of leadership from the upperclassmen on his sophmoreheavy team. Im extremely excited about the culture in the gym, the work ethic and what were trying to get done, Bechard said. Were going to count on three seniors. The Jayhawks finished last season with a 3-0 sweep of the nationally-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, putting their overall record at 17-14. The Sooners went on to make the Sweet 16, and the Jayhawks watched the tournament from home. That sweep could give the Jayhawks confidence in a newlook Big 12, but some players are not looking too much into how last season ended. We just need to focus on ourselves because every team changes, Jarmoc said. Oklahoma has obviously lost people so its a new team every season. I think its more focusing on us and how strong we are coming back and with our new additions. Were all very hopeful and you can feel it in practice. We all have higher expectations and we push each other more. Jarmoc said the tournament in Athens will be a great way to prepare for Big 12 play, which begins Sept. 24 in Austin, Texas, against the Longhorns. I love tournaments. They are a great way to work the kinks out because you play consecutively one game after another, Jarmoc said. You dont have long day breaks. If you have to make adjustments, you have to make them quick. Bechard has high expectations for the teams two freshmen, outside hitter Chelsea Albers and outside hitter Sara McClinton. Once again, there are the two newcomers who are physically gifted, Bechard said. They havent seen a Big 12 match, the speed of the play or any of those things. McClinton is 6-foot-2 and Albers is 6-foot-1. (Karina) Garlington and (Jenna) Kaiser had some offensive skills, but these two bring some other skills, physically. Bechard said replacing Garlington and Kaiser will be by committee until the freshmen are ready. Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said adjusting to the speed of the college game is something that should not be taken for granted. Everyone says once you get to college, everything is faster and quicker, Tolefree said. In high school and club you think you are fast and can jump high, but when you get here and everyone is faster and jumps higher. Its all about getting used to it and being relentless.

A college education is one of the best investments you can make. So if grants, scholarships and federal loans dont cover all of your expenses, consider a student loan from U.S. Bank. Its the smart, easy way to bridge the gap between other forms of financial aid and the full cost of your education.
