Rob Underwood, a sophomore from Great Bend, places a used water bottle in Delta Chi and Delta Delta Deltas design for one
of the contests in an event for homecoming on Tuesday. Underwood is part of the Delta Chi fraternity which has teamed up with
the Delta Delta Delta sorority for the event. Everything will be recycled and its a blast and good bonding with the brothers,
Underwood said, whatever we can do to help. Chalking of murals will go on tomorrow with more events during the week.

When Karishma Bhakta wakes
up in her room every morning,
shes already at work.
Bhakta, a senior from Salina,
is a residential assistant in
McCollum Hall. Shes one of 127
students employed by the depart-
ment of student housing in an
undergraduate live-in position,
which includes residential assis-
tants, scholarship hall proctors
and food board managers.
In the 2011 student housing
handbook, the University defines
a residential assistants duties as
advising and guiding residents,
communicating information,
fostering a sense of community
and enforcing student housing
policy.
But what shape does that hand-
book definition take in the real
world?
For the students living the jobs,
its as diverse as filling out paper-
work, bailing out flooding lobbies
and getting their floors together
to watch Americas Best Dance
Crew or Jersey Shore every
week. Its balancing school work,
work duties, and, ultimately, just
being a friend to their residents.
Sometimes I feel like Im a
full-time big sister, Bhakta said.
Im not going to love them all of
them time. I mean, Im stressed
too. But in the end, Im there for
them.
Building community
For residential assistants, the
first six weeks of the school year
are crucial.
Thats when they focus on plan-
ning a plethora of social activi-
ties for their residents, many of
whom are first-year students at
the University.
You kind of just feed them
opportunities to come out and
meet somebody, said Michael
Nobo, a senior from Topeka and
residential assistant in McCollum
Hall.
Nobo said that most students
decide within those first six weeks
whether theyll come back to the
University the next year or not.
By constantly putting themselves
out there, he said, residential
assistants try to make a positive,
supportive first impression.
The social programs, which
occur throughout the year, include
cooking grilled-cheese sandwich-
es once a week, group dinners in
the dining hall and playing ulti-
mate frisbee as a floor.
Residential assistants are also
encouraged to build personal rela-
tionships with residents. Bhakta
Marriage equality provokes
discussion during panel
CAMpUS
see Marriage | 3
Panelists debated the legaliza-
tion of same-sex marriage at the
Kansas School of Law yesterday,
but they did agree on one thing:
the controversy may soon fade as
public support grows.
Dale Carpenter, professor of
civil liberties law at the University
of Minnesota, spoke in support
of same-sex marriage and said
that legalization would bring a
tangible benefit to millions of citi-
zens without harming traditional
marriages.
I see every reason to believe
same-sex marriage will ben-
efit everyone in this country,
Carpenter said at the panel dis-
cussion presented by the Kansas
Federalist Society.
He contested the idea that
same-sex marriage would harm
heterosexual couples and the ide-
als of marriage.
I dont see how my relationship
is made stronger because someone
elses relationship is undermined,
Carpenter said.
Dale Schowengerdt, an expe-
rienced litigator, argued against
legalization of gay marriage dur-
ing the discussion panel.
This rush to same-sex mar-
riage is a passion of the hour,
Schowengerdt said. This is such a
radical change that it will produce
a harmful effect on society.
According to a May 2011 Gallup
poll, a majority of Americans
now support recognition of gay
marriage as the issue becomes
less controversial and more
mainstream.
Joshua Williams, vice presi-
dent of Queers & Allies at the
University, said the debate is los-
ing impact.
I feel people are for same-
sex marriage. Most of America
does not mind it, Williams said.
Theyre like, Let people get mar-
ried, we dont care.
Some event participants said
the case for same-sex marriage
would soon be a problem of the
past.
During the debate, Carpenter
said taboo issues of the past are
nationally accepted without ques-
tion today. He compared same-sex
marriage to the womens move-
ment of equal rights in the 1960s
and 1970s.

Lawrence became the first city
in Kansas to amend their human
relations code to include protection
against discrimination for gender
identity after the city commission
voted four to one to pass the mea-
sure.
Citizens will now have protec-
tion against discrimination based
on their gender or on how other
people perceive their gender. The
city will now define gender identity
as gender-related identity, appear-
ance, behavior, and other character-
istics of an individual, as perceived
by the individual or another, and
without regard to the individuals
actual or assigned sex at birth.
The definition is very similar to
ones used by the cities of Kansas
City, Mo., and Chicago. The com-
missioners presented concerns over
whether or not the entire law will
stand up in the court system if it is
challenged.
Commissioner Bob Schumm
said in his remarks that he could not
allow any discrimination to con-
tinue if he had the power to stop it.
Commissioners Hugh Carter, Mike
Dever and Mayor Aron Cromwell
shared his sentiment.
Women, Gender and Sexuality
Studies professor Milton Wendland
said the legislation will help remedy
discrimination that may be happen-
ing already, but more importantly
will help alleviate the sort of possi-
blity that those things could happen
for a lot of people and that includes
people who dont identify as trans.
More than 150 people filled the
city hall Tuesday evening.
Supporters of the ordinance sat
throughout the meeting hall wear-
ing rainbow ribbons pinned to their
shirts. Citizens opposed were also
represented in the meeting and
outside of city hall protesting the
ordinance.
Citizens brought up concerns
about public bathroom use and
whether or not private companies
would be required to construct
additional bathrooms for transgen-
dered individuals. Businesses also
expressed concern over transgen-
dered pepole being relatable to their
clients in the community.
Cromwell said in his remarks
that many of the issues against the
ordinance fell flat in his mind.
Students also spoke in support
of ordinance. Jeremy Atkinson, a
senior from Lawrence has spent his
time supporting the ordinance and
talking to the commissioners about
his position.
It feels better to know that the
community is one that is going to
value everyone, he said. It is going
to make some peoples lives easier
and it is not going to hurt anyone.
A similar ordinance was proposed
in 2009 and 2010 to the Lawrence
Human Relations Commission but
failed to move to the city commis-
sion. Scott Criqui is a member of
the human relations commission
and voted to support the measure
in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Its inspiring. I cant talk without
crying, Criqui said.
He has worked with the com-
missioners to know that they would
support the ordinance to pass this
year.

Manila residents waded through waist-
deep foodwaters and dodged fying debris
Tuesday as a powerful typhoon struck the
Philippines, killing at least 16 people and
sending waves as tall as palm trees crash-
ing over seawalls.
Most deaths occurred in metropolitan
Manila, which already was soaked by heavy
monsoon rains ahead of Typhoon Nesats ar-
rival with more downpours and wind gusts
of up to 93 mph (150 kph). Downtown areas
along Manila Bay suffered their worst food-
ing in decades.
Pounding rains obscured the view of any-
one on the streets as soldiers and police
scrambled to safely evacuate thousands of
people in low-lying areas, where rivers and
the sea spilled into shanties, hospitals,
swanky hotels and even the seaside U.S. Em-
bassy compound.
Clear skies, northwest winds
10-15 mph with gusts up to
30 mph.

A Saudi woman was sentenced Tuesday to
be lashed 10 times with a whip for defying the
kingdoms prohibition on female drivers, the
frst time a legal punishment has been handed
down for a violation of the longtime ban in the
ultraconservative Muslim nation.
Normally, police just stop female drivers,
question them and let them go after they sign a
pledge not to drive again. But dozens of women
have continued to take to the roads since June
in a campaign to break the taboo.
Making Tuesdays sentence all the more up-
setting to activists is that it came just two days
after King Abdullah promised to protect wom-
ens rights and decreed that women would be
allowed to participate in municipal elections in
2015. Abdullah also promised to appoint women
to a currently all-male advisory body known as
the Shura Council.

Military-dominated Myanmar said its recent
democratic reforms are irreversible and has
promised a prisoner amnesty in the near future.
Foreign Minister Wanna Maung Lwin told the
U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that talks
last month between Myanmars president and
democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi were in-
tended to put aside differences and fnd com-
mon grounds to cooperate.
The minister urged nations to lift economic
sanctions.
In November Myanmar held its frst elections
in 20 years. The new government is nominally
civilian but remains dominated by the military,
which has ruled since 1962.
Western nations are urging Myanmar to free
its more than 2,000 political prisoners and rec-
oncile with Suu Kyi, whose party won 1990 elec-
tions but was barred from taking power.

An American drone fred two missiles at a
house in a northwestern tribal region near the
Afghan border Tuesday, killing three people
Pakistani intelligence offcials said.
The two offcials said some people were also
wounded in the strike near the town of Wana in
South Waziristan.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to brief reporters.
Washington has fred scores of missiles into
northwest Pakistan since 2008 to target Taliban
and al-Qaida-linked operatives.
The latest strike comes at a time of height-
ened tensions between Washington and Islam-
abad following a recent claim by top U.S. mili-
tary offcer, Adm. Mike Mullen, that Pakistans
main spy agency backed militants who carried
out attacks against American targets in Af-
ghanistan.

KU enrollment
down 2.5 percent
Enrollment numbers for fall 2011 were
released yesterday and enrollment at
the University has declined 2.5 percent.
The University is putting new recruit-
ment and retention practices into effect
to help increase the current enrollment
population of 28,718 students.
One strategy to improve enrollment
is to offer renewable scholarships worth
up to $40,000 to students enrolling in
fall 2012.
Although enrollment declined, the
University said the students that are
enrolled, are prepared academically.
The average ACT score for the incoming
class is a 24.9, which is higher than the
national average of 22.2.
Although the Lawrence campus saw
declines in enrollment, the KU Medical
Center and Edwards campuses saw
increases in enrollment for this school
year.

Author gives talk
on Google issues
Siva Vaidhyanathan took a
strong stand for corporate social
responsibility on Tuesday in the
Digital Media Lecture Series, Be
Evil: Google and the Perils of Cor-
porate Social Responsibility.
Vaidhyanathan, an accom-
plished media scholar, cultural
historian and professor of Media
Studies and Law at the University
of Virginia, recently published a
well-received yet controversial
book entitled The Googlization of
Everything.
What Im trying to get to is
that the hypocrisy doesnt matter
to me, Vaidhyanathan said. The
hypocrisy is an uninteresting story.
The question is how do we relate
to the ethics of corporate social
responsibility.
Vaidhyanathan talked extensive-
ly about the ability of corporations
to mistreat their users in a radi-
cally growing transparent society.
Throughout the lecture, Vaid-
hyanathan referenced Google and
how they relate to this problem.
He encouraged people to use
a de-mystification process when
going through Google and other
corporations.
The biggest danger with Google
is when we dont understand it,
Vaidhyanathan said.
Vaidhyanathan also outlined
that one of the main reasons we
are having this discussion is
because of public failure.
I thought it was interesting and
provocative, and I hope it made
people think, professor of com-
munication studies Nancy Baym
said. What we can take away from
that is to question what corpora-
tions do.

Ryan McCarthy
said that she likes to take advan-
tage of her little moments to
connect with the women on her
floor.
I might be studying and then
take a bathroom break, and dur-
ing that walk down the hall, I
look for open doors and people
to chat with, Bhakta said. It
wasnt the longest moment, but
at least I talked with somebody.
Vickie Blanco, a senior from
Overland Park, worked as an
residential assistant in Templin
Hall for two years. Blanco said
that meeting everyone and
making a family made life as
a residential assistant the most
rewarding job she had ever had.
Im still best friends with a
lot of the kids who were on my
floor, Blanco said. They still
make an effort to make me a
part of their lives.
BalanCing aCt
Being a residential assistant
goes beyond fostering social
interaction.
Residential assistants are
required to work a weekly three-
hour shift at the front desk of
their hall and in their academic
resource centers. They must be
on-call during the day for two
or three hours every week. They
also have night and weekend
shifts every month. They have
to be in the building for 12- or
48-hour periods to handle any
situations that arise.
Additionally, residential assis-
tants are required to be full-time
students and must maintain a
2.5 grade point average.
Were still students first, then
were RAs, Nobo said.
Juggling personal life, school
work and floor relationships can,
at times, be overwhelming.
If youre a very stressed per-
son, and you let things get to
you, this job will quickly catch
up to you, Nobo said.
He said it was important to
take advantage of free time and
to lean on other residential assis-
tants and professional residence
life staff, such as complex direc-
tors, for support.
Sometimes, however, students
find that maintaining a balance
isnt going to work out.
Blanco is currently applying
to medical school and decided
last spring to not return for a
third year as a residential ass-
sistant.
I realized last year that
I didnt have the time that I
thought I was going to have, and
my schedule just keeps getting
more and more demanding,
Blanco said. It really was hard
to leave the job, but it was some-
thing that needed to be done.
Jocelyn Crist, complex direc-
tor for McCollum Hall, said that
students were often nervous to
tell their bosses they wanted to
leave early or didnt plan on
returning to the position.
But we understand that its
not for everyone, Crist said.
Some of its school, some of
its their style, some of its just
that they want to be with their
friends some more. Some just
dont like communal living after
a while.
Bad Cop?
Besides being a friend and
a student, residential assistants
also have to deal with students
who are breaking the rules.
According to the Universitys
Clery Act Annual Security
Report, there were 899 refer-
rals and nine arrests for alcohol
violations in student housing in
2009 and 238 referral and 17
arrests for drug violations.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate
director for residence life, said
that it was a residential assis-
tants responsibility to confront
a situation, correct it and docu-
ment everything that happened;
not administer punishment.
Wamelink said that under
the Student Code of Rights and
Responsibilities, residential
assistants must ask and receive
permission to enter a residents
room if they think someone
is violating a rule unless they
think someone is being harmed.
However, she encouraged stu-
dents to cooperate with residen-
tial assistants.
If students are being unco-
operative, the next level is to
get law enforcement involved,
Wamelink said.
While residential assistants
receive training on how to han-
dle various situations, they often
end up having to think on their
feet.
Its one of those things where
you dont know how you will
handle it until youre put in the
situation, Bhakta said.
SEtting thE tonE
Both Bhakta and Nobo will be
back at the University for their
fifth year of school next fall.
While Bhakta plans to remain
a residential assistant, Nobo said
hell take time focusing on a
required practicum for his social
welfare major.
Its a job Nobo said he hates
to leave, but he had a great
experience.
Crist said that she thought
not every residental adviser was
happy with the position, but she
said that every student found
some value in it.
I think that every single per-
son, whether theyve loved the
job or hated it, will tell me that
theyve learned something, Crist
said. They walk away learning
something about how to deal
with people or themselves.

Wendland thought the legislation
will help Lawrence in a greater way
than only protecting individuals,
The city of Lawrence would be say-
ing to potential citizens, students,
retirees, and more importantly per-
haps businesses, that our commu-
nity protects its citizens because we
want everyone to be productive, and
healthy and happy.
The legislation will take effect
immediately. There will be a second
reading approved to add that gender
idenitity must be consistent.

New life goal: have the editor
comment on my FFA.
You cant steal wif if its tres-
passing in your house.
EDITORS NOTE: We really, really
wanted to comment on this particu-
lar entry. Not sure why.
The spiciest part of my day was
taking notes in red pen instead of
black. Sad? Probably.
Advice from my sister, If she
doesnt know Drake as Jimmy from
Degrassi, shes too young for you.
I cant decide if the Razor
scooters on campus are weird or
completely normal.
So Im cutting out each individual
FFA and saving them for basketball
season. Best. Idea. Ever.
As much as I appreciate the
upkeep of Watson Librarys stone
outside, I dont appreciate the walk-
ing death trap the stairs become
once drenched with water.
I think its lame when people
mention the FFA in the FFA.
In college you have substitute
teachers? What happened to cancel-
ing the class? Day ruined.
That awkward moment when that
joke you said in the Underground
shows up in the Kansan and you
dont know who submitted it.
NO ONE looks good in camo, ever.
End of story.
Is it bad that I understand my
foreign professors better than some
of English speaking ones?
To my stats class, no I didnt
fnish the test in 15 minutes, I just
really had to poop.
They should put FFA on the front
page. Its all I ever read in the
Kansan.
Just saw a girl studying in a
tree. Not against a tree, not next to
a tree, this chick was IN the tree.

Talking about how often you
get in the FFA is almost as bad as
retweeting someone who asks for
a RT.
Yeah, I just got a free bottle of
Grey Goose from the bartender. I
love having tits.
I just had to reverse transcribe a
Harry Potter quote for my linguis-
tics class. Feeling like Hermione in
Ancient Runes? I think so.
Ive seen a lot of big white vans
on campus today. Hide ya kids, hide
ya wife.
Awkward moment after you talk
to a girl for the frst time after class
and you realize you didnt introduce
yourself. FML.
As a flm major, my entire
academic career has been based
on the idea that you can learn
something from watching mov-
ies. Besides the abstract things
movies teach us, like how to
love, they can teach us cold, hard
facts. Biopics show us the lives
of important fgures, histori-
cal dramas recreate important
events in vivid detail and every
movie can show us aspects of
the world weve never seen before.
Of course, not every director is es-
pecially interested in making their
movie accurate so much as they
are in making it exciting.
One such movie is the upcom-
ing Anonymous directed by the
guy who made Independence
Day and starring no one youve
ever heard of. Te flm purports to
tell the truth behind Shakespeare
authorship question.
As you may or may not be aware,
there is a growing community of
people who believe Shakespeare
was merely a front for another
playwright, like Woody Allen in
Te Front or Grandpa Simpson
in Te Front.
Te flm boasts multiple mem-
bers of the Royal Shakespeare
Company and the director seems
pretty adamant that Shakespeare
was a fraud, so you might think
theirs is a perfectly valid inter-
pretation of history. Te thing, it
isnt. Te overwhelming scholar-
ly consensus is that Shakespeare
was Shakespeare. But fash can
outweigh substance and a movie
about a Shakespearean conspir-
acy is going to convince more
people than any number of journal
articles.
Te Oliver Stone flm JFK is
another example of an outlandish
conspiracy given credibility by a
flm. Obviously, the various Ken-
nedy assassination conspiracies
existed before the flm and would
survive without it, but I remem-
ber as a child watching the end
of the flm and believing what it
said, and I wasnt the only one. My
eighth grade history teacher actu-
ally showed us the fnale in class,
and I spent much of the following
years believing that LBJ may have
orchestrated Kennedys murder.
It wasnt until much later that I
found out Oliver Stone had been
taken signifcant liberties with the
truth.
And thats the danger of lying or
providing inaccurate information
in popular movies. As much as we
tell ourselves to not believe every-
thing we hear, we wind up believ-
ing a lot of what we hear. Even if
youre a well-read person, you cant
read a book on, every subject you
see in a movie and if a flm spends
90 minutes telling you over and
over again that something is true,
chances are youll believe its true.
Its not Hollywoods job to educate
everyone, but they could do bet-
ter than blatantly lying to us about
historical facts.
Some flmmakers do their re-
search, like the production team
behind the 2007 flm Zodiac,
about the infamous Zodiac killer.
Instead of implicitly trusting their
source material, they hired private
investigators to track down surviv-
ing witnesses and only showed in
the flm what they could prove in
real life.
Im not saying every flm has to
go to those lengths, but they could
at least check a Wikipedia article.

Nearly everyone can re-
member a protest that he or
she has seen that carried sig-
nifcance. Afer all, that is the
point of a protest. In order
to infuence public opinion,
a person or group must cap-
ture the attention of the pub-
lic. Tis can be done by any-
thing from book burning to
burning oneself, also called
self-immolation. Te extents
to which people go to convey
their message(s) can be incred-
ible, outrageous and shocking.
Te infuence of each particu-
lar protest may have a lot to do
with how far a person or group
will go to capture public attention.
Religion is commonly connected
to various protests ranging from
a local church to a religion that
dominates entire regions of the
globe. Devotion to religion can
infuence nearly every aspect of a
persons life. Of course, not every
religious person would go as far
as to protest to get a point across.
However, some will take their
mission to great lengths.
When the Hindu caste system
was intact, Gautama Siddartha
had other ideas, stating its not
your birth but your deeds that
determine whether you are noble
or ignoble. Tat message chal-
lenged everything that the caste
system stood for. He did not turn
to violence. Instead, his teachings
infuenced progress, denounced
greed, and largely infuenced the
creation of Buddhism.
More recently, ABC News re-
ported that Tsewang Norbu, a
29-year-old monk from the Ny-
itso monastery, doused himself
in petrol and set himself afre in
China. It was reported that he was
calling out, We Tibetan people
want freedom and Long live the
Dalai Lama. Of course, this was
an extreme act that is relatively
uncommon as compared to other
forms of protest. In a way, though,
it is a peaceful protest. It sends a
direct message without harming
innocent civilians or higher pro-
fle fgures. It is really the most
extreme way to give the fnger to
whomever you choose.
I fnd it ironic that self-immo-
lation has been relatively frequent
among Tibetan monks since Bud-
dhist teachings are commonly in-
terpreted as prohibiting violence
upon oneself. Without rights like
freedom of speech, perhaps this
was the best way to send a mes-
sage. Afer all, it was on the third
year anniversary of anti-govern-
ment rioting that took place in
Lhasa. Either way, it is appealing
to explore that message further
than the headline.
Exploration of such rare inci-
dents can lead to a better under-
standing of the message. Perhaps
messages could be delivered in a
less destructive manner, but with-
out freedom of speech, protesters
may consider themselves coerced
into such bizarre demonstrations.
What is to be said about a person
who takes his or her message to
such an extreme level? Is the gov-
ernmental authority to blame?
Did the protester overreact? Per-
haps, but maybe it proves that
the squeaky, or in this case the
squeakiest, wheel gets the oil.

Its that time again: home-
work is accumulating, ex-
ams are approaching, and
the days until summer rolls
around again are already be-
ing counted down. Inevitably,
stress sneaks up on students and
theres little to no way to stop it
once its here. So now is a good
time to get a head start and learn
how to de-stress even before you
are stressed.
One of the best ways to rid
the body of stress is exercise.
It seems too simple to be true,
and sounds like an easy way out.
Exercise, however, is one of the
most difficult habits to adopt.
How great would life be if it were
healthy to create a habit of eat-
ing a bar of chocolate every day
or having a pint of ice cream? In-
stead, it is drilled into our brains
from the time we are young
children that exercise should be
done on a daily basis.
Especially now that the first
month of school has passed, it
is definitely time to get into the
groove. According to U.S. News,
exercise can reverse the effects
of stress, lift depression, and im-
prove learning.
Exercise is the single best
thing you can do for your brain
in terms of mood, memory, and
learning, said Harvard Medical
School psychiatrist John Ratey,
author of Spark: The Revolu-
tionary New Science of Exer-
cise and the Brain, said in the
article.
This means that if students
play their cards right, this triple
threat could help to achieve a
great semester. Even as little
as ten minutes of cardio could
boost ones all around state of
mind.
With this said, the statement
of I dont have time is noth-
ing of a legitimate excuse for not
working out. Wouldnt it make
sense that students be more in-
clined to work out and improve
their studies? Working out can
help raise those grades. So in-
stead of sitting on your couch
after class and contemplating
whether or not to go for a run,
think of your brain and keeping
your body healthy. After all, ex-
ercise prompts the triple threat
to kick your body and your men-
tal stability into shape.

Te womens golf team fnished
ffh in the Marilynn Smith Invi-
tational in Manhattan this week.
Te team had a collective score of
921 strokes, 30 strokes more than
invitational winner Arkansas, at
Little Rock.
Coach Erin ONeil felt like the
team could have done better.
Unfortunately, we didnt fn-
ish up as well as I would have
liked today, ONeil said in a press
release. Although, we did see
improvement in certain areas of
each players games which is en-
couraging. We are a young group
right now and the most important
thing for us to do is to learn from
our mistakes, continue to work
hard and get better each day.
Sophomore Tanuttra Boon-
raksasat came up big for the Jay-
hawks by fring a three round
score of 221 strokes. She fnished
tied for fourth place. ONeil said
she was pleased with Boonrak-
sasats play this week.
She stepped up to lead us with
three solid rounds on a difcult
golf course and could have shot
even lower if a few more putts
would have fallen for her, ONeil
said.
Five other Jayhawks placed in
the top 50. Freshmen Nadia Lutt-
ner shot a fnal round score of
78 strokes to fnish tied for 22nd
place and freshman Gabriella Di-
Marco shot a fnal round score
of 79 to place tied for 24th with
sophomore Meghan Potee.
Junior Audrey Yowell fnished
tied for 38th place afer shooting
a fnal round score of 77 strokes.
Sophomore Michelle Woods fn-
ished 43rd and Senior Katy Nu-
gent placed tied for 46th place.
Te Jayhawks will play in their
next tournament on Oct. 3, when
they will travel to Columbia, Mo.,
to compete in the Johnie Ames
Invitational.
We have a quick turn around
before heading to Missouri so
we will spend the majority of
our time working on putting and
short game, ONeil said in the
news release. Old Hawthorne is
a good test and we are looking
forward to competing there next
week.

The mens golf team finished
tied for 10th overall in the Car-
dinal Intercollegiate in Lousiville,
Ky., this week. The tournament
was shortened from three rounds
to two because of rain.
Junior Alex Gutesha, who shot
a 73 in the final round, led the
Jayhawks. Gutesha climbed two
spots in the rankings during the
last round to finish tied for 10th
place. Behind Guteshas strong
final round, the Jayhawks also
gained four spots in the rankings
to improve from 14th overall to
10th overall on the last day. Their
final score was 597 strokes, which
was 24 strokes behind University
of Arkansas at Little Rock, who
placed first in the tournament.
Kansas coach Kit Grove was
pleased with Guteshas play.
Alex played solid, Groves said
in a press release. He hit 16 out
of 18 greens in regulation. Thats
a super-high percentage, but he
didnt do a lot on the greens. He
didnt putt bad, but he didnt putt
well.
The Jayhawks now have three
weeks to practice and improve
before their next tournament held
in Kiawah Island, S.C.
Grove was satisfied with how
his team played this past week,
but he knows there is room for
improvement.
Were a lot better from tee to
green than weve been in the past
three or four years, Grove said
in the release. Were giving away
shots on the green, and its killing
our scores. Its a lack of execution.
Well get back and practice. But
10th place is not what were try-
ing to accomplish.
Four other Jayhawks finished in
the top 100. Junior Chris Gilbert
shot a final round score of 74 to
finish tied for 33rd. Senior Doug
Quinones shot a final round score
of 80 to finish tied for 62nd.
Junior Paul Harris and fresh-
man Dylan McClure both shot
final round scores of 76 to finish
tied for 65th.

Womens golf shows progress
even in disappointing fnish
Mens golf fnishes 10th
in Louisville tournament
Circle the wagons and rally
the troops. Te cliches rolled of
the tongues of just about every
member of the Jayhawks football
team Tuesday afernoon, and with
good reason.
Afer a blowout loss to Georgia
Tech two weeks ago, Kansas had a
week of to ruminate over one of
the worst defensive performances
in school history. Te numbers are
startling and sobering, but they
also proved to be a rallying cry
cue another cliche for a team in
need of a spark.
Having this bye week just be-
fore conference play, it gave us a
time to actually fgure out exactly
what we want to do, linebacker
Darius Willis said, exactly how we
want to attack.
Te Jayhawks believe theyve
ironed out many of their ills in the
10 days since the 66-24 loss to the
Yellow Jackets. Its a good thing,
too, because they open Big 12 play
on Saturday against Texas Tech,
which has added a stout running
game to what has long been a pro-
lifc pass ofense.
It brought us together, this bye
week, and showed us where we can
be, Willis said.
Which is anywhere besides
where they were two weeks ago in
Atlanta.
Georgia Tech ran for 604 yards
and seven touchdowns against
Kansas, putting two players over
100 yards on a combined 10 car-
ries. As a team, the Yellow Jackets
averaged more than 12 yards per
rushing attempt, and quarterback
Tevin Washington was so ruthless-
ly efective that he completed just
four passes for 164 yards and two
more touchdowns.
Kansas struggled in season-
opening wins over McNeese State
and Northern Illinois, but nothing
to that extent. And its caused plen-
ty of heat for frst-year defensive
coordinator Vic Shealy.
Te Jayhawks are allowing an
average of 282 yards rushing per
game and 550 yards of total of-
fense, both dead last in the nation.
Te pass defense ranks 102nd out
of 120 teams in the Football Bowl
Subdivision, and its only that good
because teams like Georgia Tech
have run so successfully against
Kansas that they havent had to
throw the ball a whole lot.
Now, the Jayhawks get to face
the nations ninth-ranked passing
ofense in Texas Tech and a quar-
terback in Seth Doege who is put-
ting up video game-like numbers.
Two weeks ago, he set an NCAA
record by completing 40 of his 44
passes (90.9 percent), fve of them
for touchdowns.
We all know were a better
defense than weve shown, said
Toben Opurum, who is tied for
eighth nationally in tackles for loss,
giving the defense some semblance
of a bright spot.
Coach Shealy knows what hes
doing, Opurum said. Hes going
to allow us to bring more pressure,
and thats what he likes to do. He
likes to be an attacker on defense,
and these next few ballgames,
youll see that, and well have a bet-
ter ballgame on Saturday.
Hard to believe that it could be
much worse.
Coach Turner Gill wouldnt
speak specifcally about what has
changed over the bye week, but he
did acknowledge that playing time
may be spread around diferently
than in the frst three games, and
that there has been an overhaul in
the defensive scheme put in place.
Part of that has to do with the
ofenses the Yellow Jackets are
run-oriented; the Red Raiders rely
on the pass. But part of it also has
to do with the fact that what Kan-
sas was doing wasnt working.
I think it was good for us to just
kind of regroup, Gill said. Now
we have a pretty good idea what
we need to improve on, what our
strengths are, so I think it was good
for us to have that time (during the
bye) to sit down and really evaluate
a little deeper.
Tats hard to do when youre
in the middle of the week and you
have to prepare for a game, Gill
said. But Im glad we had it and
I think we did some things to im-
prove our football team.
While its easy to hang heads and
point fngers afer the blitzing put
on by Georgia Tech, Gill said hes
noticed none of that in the locker
room or on the practice feld. He
praised the few senior leaders for
bringing the team together dur-
ing the bye week for circling
the wagons and rallying the troops
and promised that the positive
mindset will yield positive results
soon enough.
Our guys are resilient, Gill
said. Tey came back, they were
eager to be taught, they want to be
taught football. Tey want to know
what I, what we, can do to be a bet-
ter football team, and thats what
you want to see. Tey came back
here ready to work, and thats what
you got to do.

C
oming off one of the most exhilarat-
ing postseasons in its history, the
NHL will lace its skates again for the
2011-12 season starting on Oct. 6. With no
professional basketball games in the foresee-
able future because of the NBA lockout, the
NHL will be the only professional sports
league complementing the NFL during win-
ter, possibly raising the sports profile.
Arguably the top story during the NHL
offseason was the Atlanta Thrashers decision
to relocate to Winnipeg and rename its fran-
chise the Jets. Winnipeg once had an NHL
franchise nicknamed the Jets, but it relocated
to Phoenix in 1996 and became the Phoenix
Coyotes. No sport has undergone more fran-
chise relocations than the NHL, but one city
is hoping for another franchise move: Kansas
City.
Back in the early 1970s, the NHL awarded
Kansas City with an expansion team nick-
named the Scouts. The Scouts entered the
NHL in 1974, but stayed in Kansas City
for only two seasons because of financial
struggles, poor fan support, lousy ownership
and losing. The franchise moved to Colorado
and changed its nickname to the Rockies,
but relocated again to New Jersey in 1982. It
was renamed the Devils. Since 1982, the New
Jersey Devils have appeared in four Stanley
Cup finals and won three.
The NHL has given Kansas City an oppor-
tunity to redeem itself by hosting preseason
games in the Sprint Center. Built in 2007, the
Sprint Center has hosted college basketball
games as well as NBA and NHL preseason
games, but besides the Kansas City Command
of the Arena Football League, it lacks a tenant.
This makes Kansas City an attractive destina-
tion for any franchise considering relocation.
Kansas City is a small sports market that
doesnt possess a passion for hockey, but its
sports fans are hungry for a winter sports
team, which has been lacking since 1985
when the Kansas City Kings, an NBA team,
moved to Sacramento. The Royals and Chiefs
have disappointed Kansas City sports fans
for many years, forcing them to become
bandwagon fans during the NHL season. An
NHL franchise in Kansas City could cultivate
hockey in the Kansas City metropolitan area,
but all of this is moot if a potential ownership
group doesnt express interest in moving a
team to the heart of America. However, two
teams that could potentially move to Kansas
City include the Florida Panthers and the
New York Islanders.
FlOrida PaNthErS
Hockey in South Florida is a very hard
sell. Its already hard enough for other South
Florida teams to fill their facilities to capac-
ity because of the magnificent weather and
non-native residents who root for their
hometown teams, so attendance at Florida
Panthers hockey games has been low for sev-
eral years. It has been tough for the franchise
to make revenue. Losing, combined with
poor attendance, fan support and low team
revenue means relocation. Forbes ranked
the Panthers 22nd of 30 teams in team
value at $168 million. The average
attendance last year was 15,685, which
was ranked 22nd of 30 teams by ESPN.
Their 86.6 percent capacity percentage
was among the worst in the NHL last
season. The Panthers have not qualified
for the postseason since the 1999-2000
season.
NEw YOrk iSlaNdErS
This once proud franchise that won
four consecutive Stanley Cup titles from
1979-1983 has struggled mightily in
many facets. Since their inception in
1972, the New York Islanders have played
in the venerable Nassau Coliseum, but the
arena is severely out-of-date. The New York
Post reported Nassau County voters recently
rejected a referendum to build a new arena
and the Islanders lease at Nassau Coliseum
expires in 2015. Last years average atten-
dance was a woeful 11,059, and their atten-
dance capacity percentage was 81.5 percent,
the worst in the NHL according to ESPN.
Their $151 million team value is 26th in the
NHL, according to Forbes. The team is also
putting a bad product on the ice and has
missing the postseason in five of the last six
seasons.

J
ason King, former Kansas sports
beat writer for the Kansas City
Star and current national college
basketball columnist at Yahoo! Sports,
talked with me about his upcoming
book, Beyond the Phog, which hits
shelves tomorrow. King will be at Jocks
Nitch in Lawrence, signing the book
from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Hell also be at the
Kansas Union Bookstore at 9:30 a.m.
Saturday, before the Texas Tech game.
Hell also be on the KJHK show The
League today at 6 p.m. to discuss the
book.
Q: How long have you been work-
ing on the book?
A: I decided two weeks after my
second child was born in May to do it. I
was just at home all summer. Its some-
thing that Ive wanted to do for a long
time, just because I knew there were
so many stories about Kansas players,
about things that went on behind the
scenes that no one ever knew about.
Q: Were you surprised at how open
Roy Williams was with you?
A: Hes a guy that I still talk to fre-
quently just because of my job with
Yahoo!. He was pretty open and hon-
est, I will say the coaches, both he and
Bill Self, are a little more guarded with
what they say. Theyre not going to
come out and speak negatively about
anyone, which is totally understand-
able and expected. He did say, in the
chapter, that if he had known how bad
he was going to feel after telling his
Kansas players that he was leaving, if
he wouldve known how sick it made
him, he never would have done it. Who
knows if he means it, I thought it was
pretty candid. He actually got emo-
tional a few times talking about certain
situations during our interview right
there in the gym. He wasnt keeled over
crying, but he definitely teared up a few
times.
Q: What raised your eyebrows
about the program?
A: I didnt realize just how hard these
guys work. The thing that tops it all off
is the stress, the pressure, having to go
out there and perform. Jeff Boschee
told me that he said, when he gradu-
ated, after he played his last game, the
very next week he was supposed to be
at the Portsmouth Invitational, in front
of a bunch of scouts that watch guys
that are on the bubble as far as being
drafted or not. He got invited to go to
that, and he just skipped out. He said he
was just burned out, he did not want to
see a basketball, he said he didnt touch
a basketball for a year. Thats telling.
Q: Was there on consistent theme
or message that each player wanted to
make sure they got across?
A: A lot of the NBA players that I
talked to really talked about how they
didnt realize how much they loved
it until they got into the NBA. They
like the NBA, they like the money, but
boy they miss the lifestyle at Kansas.
They miss the love. They miss the
camaraderie. I interviewed Brandon
Rush and we were talking and he had
a real honest moment. We were talking
and I thought he was done answering
the question I was asking him about
Kansas, and I started asking him a
new question about something toally
different and he interrupted me. He
goes, I miss it man, I miss Kansas so
bad. I didnt provoke him to say that,
he looked me dead in the eye, which
sometimes he doesnt always do and he
goes Man I miss it so bad.

Freshman guard Merv
Lindsay sat in his bed in the
Jayhawk Towers with eyes
wide open the night before
coach Bill Self s boot camp
started.
I couldnt go to sleep,
Lindsay said. I was so anx-
ious.
Self s boot camp begins
every day at 6 a.m. and lasts
between 45 minutes and an
hour. The training, which
never involves a basketball
and spans from Monday until
next Friday, includes defensive
slides, close-out drills, back-
board taps, lots of running and
whatever else Self can think
of.
Boot camp is all the stuff
that we really dont want to do
that has to do with basketball,
senior guard Tyshawn Taylor
said. Its not the fun stuff.
Former stars Brandon
Rush, Mario Chalmers and
Wayne Simien were in town
for the Legends of the Phog
exhibition last weekend and
spent some time warning the
freshmen about boot camp.
Lindsay said they told him to
get some sleep. Junior forward
Thomas Robinson and Taylor
told him that boot camp is
when training gets real.
Freshman guard Christian
Garrett learned the definition
of real on Monday, when he
puked in a trash can next to
the practice court after a run-
ning drill.
I gave him a little pour
of water on the neck to cool
him off, senior guard Conner
Teahan said.
Taylor said that other than
that incident, Garrett has
shown no signs of slowing
down.
As older guys, weve got
to smack them on the butt
and tell them they can do it,
Taylor said. Boost them up a
little bit.
After Late Night at the Phog
on Oct. 14, Self s practices will
show no mercy.
If you went right into prac-
ticing the way we practice after
late night, you wouldnt be able
to handle it, Teahan said.
Boot camp serves as a way
to prepare for those practices and
as a barometer of the teams current
condition.
Everybody was in decent shape,
Lindsay said. But now were get-
ting into Kansas basketball season
shape.
With the departure of the Morris
twins and Josh Selby to the NBA and
with Brady Morningstar and Tyrel
Reed now playing in Europe, Self
cannot rely on skills alone to trump
opponents. When playing against
premier talent such as Anthony
Davis of Kentucky or Jared Sullinger
of Ohio State, Kansas could ben-
efit from having an extra burst of
energy in crunch time. Boot camp
can provide that extra burst.
If you can get through this, you
can get through anything, Taylor
said.
Self doesnt give his players any
formal breather, but Taylor said that
every once in a while he sneaks a
sip of water. However, Taylor said
he wishes the training was in the
afternoon instead of before the sun
rises.
I think thats the toughest part,
he said of the 6 a.m. start.
Self has been barking at every-
one, catching minor details that
may seem trivial, but make a differ-
ence to him.
I got caught slipping a couple of
times, Lindsay said.
Lindsay said he knows that Self s
yells only bring the best out of tal-
ented athletes.
Weve got goals this year, Lindsay
said. So weve got to work toward
them.

training on monday morning.
early wake Up call
footBaLL
While the Kansas football team
hasnt entirely found their identity,
some pieces are coming together.
During Mondays Big 12 media
teleconference, Texas Tech coach
Tommy Tuberville said that the
Kansas football team resembled his
team in the sense that both schools
are still looking for their identity.
When coach Turner Gill was
asked about Tubervilles statement,
he agreed for the most part.
From our perspective were
probably trying to find our iden-
tity on more of the defensive stand-
point, Gill said. Were figuring out
our personnel and what our guys
can do.
Its tough to argue with Gill, as
the Kansas defense has given up an
average of 44 points per game this
season.
Besides giving up a large num-
ber of points, the Kansas defense
has often given up plays, because of
a defenders mistake.
Junior defensive lineman Toben
Opurum is confident that the work
the team put in during bye week
will pay huge dividends against
Texas Tech this Saturday.
The defense that weve
put out on the field the past
three Saturdays isnt really the
defense were capable of being,
Opurum said. I feel like with
this bye week, weve been able
to work better on our funda-
mentals and techniques and
come this Saturday well look
like a different defense really.
While the defense has been
searching for their identity, the
offense has had one all season.
The Jayhawks have run
the ball 90 more times than
they have thrown it, giving the
offense a physical mentality.
When Kansas has the ball, they
like to run it. Then run it again.
And run it some more.
For us, when were most
successful, is whenever were
playing really physical, Webb
said. If our guys are blocking
well were going to be able to
spring a lot of big runs and
thats going to open up the passing
game.
That is exactly what Kansas has
been able to do.
Webb has the fifth highest
quarterback rating in the NCAA,
because, in large part, of his ability
to make the big play. Webb is aver-
aging 9.7 yards per pass attempt,
which shows that the big play has
been opened up by the dominant
rushing attack. Offensive coordina-
tor Chuck Long said an offense typ-
ically strives for an average attempt
of six to seven yards.
Its just having a plan, having a
recruiting plan, and devolping that
plan and staying with it. We felt like
we recruited some good young run-
ning backs and we wanted to play to
that, Long said.
Early into Gills second season
at Kansas, an identity is starting to
form. While the defense is a long
way away from finding theirs, they
at least know what identity theyd
like to one day have.
The biggest thing for me, is to
be an attacking defense, Opurum
said. If we do that, well have a bet-
ter opportunity to create turnovers,
which will help us when more
games this year.
