UDK
the student voice since 1904

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Dirty Dillons has trans-
formed into a more environ-
mentally friendly, dapper
Dillons and created job oppor-
tunities in Lawrence.
Last year The Dillons, 1740
Massachusetts St, the 37-year-
old store was torn down and
construction began on a new
multi-million dollar store. After
the Grand Opening Celebration
on Sunday Lawrence residents
and University students shared
their thoughts on the Dillons
transition. The first 500 cus-
tomers received a $5 Dillons
gift card at the entrance. A
variety of free samples were
given to customers while they
shopped.
I grew up going to the
Dillons that they tore down,
said Amelia Weil, a sophomore
from Lawrence. It was my
home away from home grocery
store. I loved it and I was sad to
see it go.
Dillons on Massachusetts
Street has been at the same
location since 1960. In 1974, it

Customers shop and explore the new Dillons supermarket on Massachusetts Street Sunday morning. The ribbon was cut and the doors were opened at 9 a.m. while the
frst 500 customers received a $5 gift card.

Besides freshmen, the
University will welcome a new
addition to campus: a state of the
art engineering research facility.
The Measurement, Materials
and Sustainable Environment
Center (M2SEC) located south of
Learned Hall will utilize experi-
mental architecture, enhance the
educational experience for stu-
dents and allow the University to
pursue cutting edge research.
This new building and its labo-
ratories will be a major draw to
new students because well be able
to do things weve never done
been able to do before, said Sarah
Seguin, assistant professor of elec-
trical engineering.
The new facilities include an
anechoic chamber, which allows
Seguin and students to test elec-
tronics at an industry level both
in and out of the classroom.
Now that we have this resource,
well be able to make students
more marketable and expand the
employment options for them,
Seguin said. It will give students
practical experience, and be a
facility for world class research.
Seguin hopes to expand the
number of student research assis-
tants in the future with the addi-
tion of the building. Brian Cordill,
a graduate student from Olathe
is one of six students currently
working with Seguin and expects
to begin testing electronic equip-
ment in the new building as early
as next week.
Theres no chamber of this size
within 800 miles, Cordill said.
Its a big deal for the work Im
going to be doing.
Cordill said he is excited to
begin work in the building and
that no other facility compares
with it in the state.
Prajna Dhar, assistant profes-
sor of chemical engineering, plans
to move her laboratory, currently
located in the basement of Burt
Hall into the M2SEC in the next
few weeks.
We have many undergraduates
interested in more possibilities for
research, and the new building
will enable students to be a part
of these interdisciplinary research
efforts, Dhar said.
Dhar pointed to the M2SECs
strength as being built on the con-
cept of interdisciplinary research.
Although Dhar focuses of nano
imaging, but she said working
with professors of different fields
on collaborative work will be eas-
ier. Currently 10 students work
with Dhar, which she only expects
to increase with the addition of
the facility.
Students will have access to
one of the best facilities on cam-
pus, Dhar said.

Back-to-school shopping is
getting more expensive for stu-
dents with each year, and there
doesnt seem to be an end in
sight.
According to the National
Retail Federation, college stu-
dents and their families will
spend an average of $907.22
on school shopping this year
on things like books, pens and
pencils as well as everything
a student needs to outfit their
home. Last year students were
paying around $808.
The future doesnt look much
brighter, with a total spending
for back-to-college expenses
expected to reach $53.5 billion
nationally.
The rise in spending can be
attributed to many reasons,
including the economy, text-
books and housing.
Nate Bryson, a senior from
Leawood, said the inflation has
a lot to do with the spending
increase.
Manufacturers are starting
to take shortcuts, so you have
to buy more to compensate,
Bryson said. And students
really arent making any more
money.
Most students pinpoint text-
books as being their primary
cost when heading back to
school. Denise Keating is the
co-owner and manager of the
local Beat the Bookstore at 1741
Massachusetts Street.
She said book prices are
increasing every year because
publishers are charging book-
stores more and that price
increase is reflected when stu-
dents buy the books. Its a
chain effect, and unfortunately
students are paying the price.
Keating said that campus
bookstores try to make it more
affordable for students by offer-
ing more rental options and
selling as many used books as
possible.
Save money by shopping
early, so that you can rent
books instead of buying them,
Keating said. We try to make
the prices better, but do your
part by shopping for textbooks
early and being smart about it.
Amanda Shaw, a senior
majoring in education, agrees
that textbooks take a toll on
the budget, but said the cost
of housing also plays a part in
back-to-school spending. For
many students, housing costs
include furnishing and rent at
the beginning of the semester.
Like the cost of books, housing
costs are also increasing each
year.
At the end of the day, the one
thing that all students have to
worry about no matter what is
textbook shopping, Shaw said.
It is a necessary expense.

TOPEKA, Kan. Te Kansas
Democratic Partys chairwoman
is calling on a Republican con-
gressman to resign following the
disclosure that he briefy swam
naked at the Sea of Galilee during
an ofcial trip to Israel last year.
Democratic Party Chairwoman
Joan Wagnon said Monday that
freshman Congressman Kevin
Yoder had embarrassed the state,
and his actions raise questions
about whether hes ft to serve in
Congress.
Yoder apologized publicly for
the incident, saying he regrets it.
He said he was only in the water
for about 10 seconds.
Te incident occurred in Au-
gust 2011 when he and about 20
other lawmakers and staf mem-
bers jumped into the water. Po-
litico reported Sunday that he was
the only one among them who
wore no clothes.
Its an embarrassing situation,
and I regret it, Yoder said during
an interview on public radio sta-
tion KCUR-FM in Kansas City,
Mo. I know that many constitu-
ents out there are sort of scratch-
ing their heads, saying, What is
this guy up to? What was he do-
ing? What was he thinking?
Yoder had been scheduled to
participate Monday in a discus-
sion on energy policy at an oil and
natural gas industry convention
in Wichita, but he did not attend.
However, he did the radio inter-
view at the stations studio, accom-
panied by his wife, Brooke.
Some Christians consider the
Sea of Galilee a holy site because
they believe Jesus walked on wa-
ter there. Swimming in the lake is
permitted but public nudity is not
allowed, according to Israeli police
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
If someone walks around the
beach naked, thats an ofense,
Rosenfeld said in Jerusalem. He
said no ofcial complaint had
been made against Yoder, but
it was possible he could still be
charged even a year later.
If that kind of incident takes
place and someone makes an of-
fcial compliant, well investigate,
Rosenfeld said Monday.
Kansas Democratic Party
Chairwoman Joan Wagnon called
Yoders behavior inexcusable
and said if the incident had oc-
curred in Kansas, he would be
forced to resign. She later issued a
statement calling for him to step
down.
Im astonished these people
think they can go on these junkets
like this and no one will know
what they do, Wagnon said.
Te Aug. 13-21 trip was spon-
sored by the American Israel
Education Foundation, a char-
ity whose mission is to provide
grants for educational programs
and conferences, and to educate
politicians and infuential people
about the importance of the U.S.-
Israel relationship.
At the time, it seemed very
spontaneous, Yoder said. Some-
what aferwards, maybe the next
day, I started thinking that maybe
that wasnt the smartest decision.
Yoder said it was dark and he
was in the water for only about 10
seconds. He said his wife was with
him but did not go into the wa-
ter. He said members of the party
jumped in individually, not as a
group, and not everyone did.
I jumped in, was in for 10 sec-
onds, jumped back out, Yoder
said during his radio interview.
Just in and out just to have the
experience, really.
LAKEWOOD, Colo. Since
Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan
as his running mate, the presi-
dential campaigns focus has
largely centered on the Wiscon-
sin congressmans ambitious plan
to transform Medicare and slash
government spending.
But President Barack Obamas
re-election team and its al-
lies have also been highlight-
ing the congressmans staunchly
anti-abortion stance, hoping to
buttress its argument that the
Republican ticket is hostile to
womens rights.
Ryan has earned a perfect rat-
ing from the National Right to
Life Committee for his votes dur-
ing his 14 years in Congress. Te
National Abortion Rights Ac-
tion League tallied 59 votes that
Ryan took on abortion-related
bills. On each measure, he voted
against abortion rights.
Im as pro-life as a person
gets, Ryan told Te Weekly Stan-
dard, a conservative magazine, in
2010.
Shortly afer the formal an-
nouncement of Ryans selection
on Aug. 11, Obamas team tweet-
ed that Ryan would ban abor-
tions even in cases of rape and
incest and had sponsored a bill
that would outlaw some forms
of birth control. Te Democratic
campaign emailed female sup-
porters to stress Ryans record
on womens issues, including his
vote against the Lilly Ledbetter
Fair Pay Act, the frst bill Obama
signed when he took ofce.
When Ryan made his Colo-
rado debut Tuesday, a liberal ac-
tivist group few a banner above
the high school where he was
speaking. Te banner read, in
part, Choose me, lose choice.
On Friday, the Obama campaign
launched a television ad blasting
Ryans abortion record.
Romneys campaign contends
that Democrats are trying to con-
fuse voters by attacking Ryan on
womens issues. Tis is a desper-
ate attempt by President Obamas
allies to distract from his failed
economic policies, which have
been particularly devastating to
women, said Brendan Buck, a
spokesman for the vice presiden-
tial candidate.
In a statement, the Obama
campaign said, American wom-
en know they cant trust a Rom-
ney/Ryan ticket to stand up for
them.
Both campaigns are aggres-
sively targeting suburban wom-
en, and the election has already
featured an unusual amount of
debate over reproductive rights.
Te entry of Ryan into the race
only heightens the polarization
over the issue.
Tere are lots of things that
the pro-abortion community will
throw at Paul Ryan because theres
lots of ammunition, since he has
such a solid pro-life record, said
former GOP Rep. Marilyn Mus-
grave, now vice president for
governmental afairs of the anti-
abortion Susan B. Anthony List.
In a 2010 essay for a conserva-
tive think tank, Ryan compared
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
that legalized abortion to the
infamous 1857 Dred Scott deci-
sion, in which the court ruled
that black slaves were not legally
people. Afer America has won
the last centurys hard-fought
struggles against unequal human
rights in the forms of totalitari-
anism abroad and segregation at
home, I cannot believe any of-
cial or citizen can still defend the
notion that an unborn human
being has no rights, Ryan wrote.
When he frst won election to
Congress in 1998, Ryan vowed
to oppose all abortions unless
they were needed to save the
life of the mother. He voted for
a bill requiring that women who
receive abortions frst undergo
an ultrasound, and another bar-
ring anyone besides parents from
transporting minors across state
lines for abortions. He also voted
against a measure to allow wom-
en in the military to receive abor-
tions in military hospitals.
Ryan was also one of several
dozen Republican co-sponsors
last year of a bill called the Sanc-
tity of Human Life Act. Te mea-
sure, which never made it to the
House foor, would give a fertil-
ized egg the same legal rights as
a person.

In this Oct. 6, 2010 fle photo, Kevin Yoder participates in a debate in Overland
Park, Kan. The conservative republican congressman, unopposed for re-election
in Kansas 3rd District, has apologized for any offense caused by his naked swim
in the Sea of Galilee last summer.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Argentina is rethinking what it
means to be a citizen, proposing
radical changes that would have
both foreigners and 16-year-olds
vote to determine who should
run the country.
President Cristina Fernandezs
legislative powerbrokers say the
proposed electoral laws will en-
hance democracy and challenge
the world to treat voting as a uni-
versal human right. Opponents
call it a naked attempt to pro-
long the power of a decade-old
government that has showered
public money on migrants and
young people.
With approval likely in a Con-
gress controlled by the presidents
allies, the laws would expand Ar-
gentinas electorate by 3 million
voters, or roughly 10 percent, and
make it among the worlds most
permissive countries in terms of
voting rights, allowing foreigners
with two years of permanent resi-
dency to cast ballots.
Its very important there are
so many of us here in Buenos Ai-
res, said thrilled migrant Karen
Gonzalez, a 48-year-old nanny
whose family now includes two
grandchildren in her adopted city.
Ive been here for more than 20
years and I love Argentina. Im Par-
aguayan and I love my country, too,
but I owe so much to Argentina, so
I want to vote.
While welcoming immigrants
into polling stations would add 1
million voters, lowering the voting
age from 18 to 16 would add 2 mil-
lion more.
Very few nations trust people still
in their adolescence to help choose
their nations leaders. Austria, Bra-
zil, Cuba and Nicaragua also start
voting at age 16.
When Mauro Eichmann looks
around at his fellow 16-year-olds
in his suburban Buenos Aires high
school, he doesnt see anyone re-
sponsible enough to vote for presi-
dent.

Ivory Coast troops patrol in the Cocody area of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. More than a year after 3,000 people died in political
violence in Ivory Coast, the nation is being rocked by brazen attacks on military forces by shadowy gunmen.
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast
More than a year afer 3,000
people died in political violence
in Ivory Coast, the nation is being
rocked by brazen attacks on mili-
tary forces by shadowy gunmen.
In a country awash in weapons
and grudges, the list of suspects
includes loyalists of a disgraced
president and former rebel fght-
ers who supported the new presi-
dent and havent received anything
in return.
Te unidentifed gunmen
struck twice just last week, storm-
ing checkpoints near the Liberian
border and then security posts
and a prison in a town 30 miles
west of Abidjan, the commercial
capital. On Aug. 6, gunmen struck
a military base right in Abidjan,
killing six soldiers and stealing
an untold number of weapons in-
cluding rocket propelled grenades
and AK-47 assault rifes. In total,
six attacks targeting Ivory Coasts
military have been reported in less
than two weeks. At least 11 sol-
diers and one civilian have been
killed. Te attacks threaten to
unleash chaos in a country once
hailed as a model of stability in
West Africa
Tey are seen as a direct result
of a post-election crisis that was
triggered by former President
Laurent Gbagbos refusal to admit
defeat in the November 2010 elec-
tion. Te post-election violence
stretched from December 2010 to
May 2011, continuing even afer
Gbagbo was captured in a bunker
in the presidential palace in April.
Gbagbo was later hauled away
for trial before the International
Criminal Court in Te Hague and
the internationally recognized
election winner, Alassane Ouat-
tara, was sworn in as president.
Interior Minister Hamed Ba-
kayoko blames the new attacks on
Gbagbos supporters working in
partnership with rogue soldiers.
But observers say that while the
attacks are likely being directed by
pro-Gbagbo elements who have
opposed Ouattara for years and
who would continue to oppose
him regardless of how he governed
the violence is being abetted by
the proliferation of arms through-
out the country, a failure to rein-
tegrate and disarm tens of thou-
sands of ex-combatants.
HEFEI, China Te wife of a
disgraced Chinese politician re-
ceived a suspended death sentence
Monday for the murder of a British
businessman, as authorities move
to tidy up a huge political scandal
ahead of a once-in-a-decade lead-
ership transition this fall.
Gu Kailais sentencing clears
the way for the ruling Communist
Party to deal with her husband,
Bo Xilai, who was formerly one
of Chinas most prominent politi-
cians before being stripped of his
Politburo post in the scandal. Bo
has not been directly implicated in
the murder of Neil Heywood, but is
accused of unspecifed grave viola-
tions of party discipline.
Tey are eager to close the case
and move on, said Dali Yang, di-
rector of the University of Chicago
Center in Beijing.
Gus suspended sentence will
almost certainly be commuted to
life in prison afer two years, a rela-
tively lenient punishment resulting
from her cooperation with investi-
gators and what the court deemed
her mental instability at the time of
Heywoods death by cyanide poi-
soning last November.
Family aide Zhang Xiaojun, ac-
cused of abetting the murder, was
sentenced to nine years.
Unknown shooters target military
was rebuilt because of a fire.
Throughout the years, it
became notorious for being the
dirty Dillons.
Ida Greenwell, a junior from
Lawrence said some people
didnt like the old Dillons
because it was dirty and lacked
the selection of other stores.
I went there and saw some
funky people sometimes, said
Greenwell.
The Dillons was designed to
reach a high level of energy effi-
ciency and sustainability.
We have one of our green-
est and most sustainable Kroger
stores sitting here in Lawrence,
said Scott Rooks, Dillons ener-
gy engineer. A lot of the val-
ues we get out of lowering the
utility costs get translated into
lower prices.
Steve Birchfield, the stores
manager, said that students are
important to the new store, both
as customers and employees.
This is going to be the stu-
dent store, Birchfield said. Its
close to campus. Its a quick trip
down off the hill.
The new Dillons employs
over 200 people, including stu-
dents. Birchfield said clerk posi-
tions are still being filled.
Nic Wilson, produce man-
ager back-up and senior from
Topeka, said he works at
Dillons full-time, has a second

The University will operate with
nearly a hundred fewer employees
by the end of this semester.
As a measure to prioritize
funding for the Universitys Bold
Aspirations strategic plan, The
Voluntary Separation Incentives
Program approved 97 university
faculty and support staff for early
retirement. Those who took the
buyout received a lump sum of
cash equivalent to their annual
salary up to $100,000. Altogether
the payments cost $4.9 million.
Gavin Young, Provost
Communications Coordinator,
said the provosts office will be
working with all departments
to determine the best use of the
funding normally allocated to
those 97 salaries. He said posi-
tions will be open for a year and
then reviewed to determine how
they can best be used to meet the
Universitys goals.
Facilities Planning and
Management will be los-
ing 30 employees, the most of
any department. Carol Cooper,
human resource manager, said its
too early in the year to tell wheth-
er or not the loss of employees
will affect a department.
We may find we need or dont
need those positions, she said.
Young said the applications
were individually reviewed at the
department level and then again
by the Provosts office to avoid
having a negative impact on the
University.
The most important factor in
the decision was creating a benefit
for KU, he said.
Cooper said retirements began
July 24 and will run through
December 31.

handcuffed man shoots
himself in police car
MEMpHis, tenn. A man police say
shot himself in the head while his hands
were cuffed behind him in the back of
an Arkansas patrol car tested positive
for methamphetamine, anti-anxiety
medication and other drugs, according
to an autopsy report released Monday
that listed his death as a suicide.
the state crime lab report said the
muzzle of a handgun that Chavis Carter
apparently concealed from arresting of-
fcers was placed against his right tem-
ple when it was fred. the report, signed
by three medical examiners, included
a drug analysis showing Carters urine
and blood indicated methamphetamine
and other drug use.
the report, released to the Associat-
ed press and other news organizations
under a Freedom of information Act
request, said Carters blood also tested
positive for at least trace amounts of
the anti-anxiety medication diazepam
and the painkiller oxycodone. His urine
test also returned a positive result for
marijuana.
the report said Carters death was
ruled a suicide based on autopsy fnd-
ings and investigative conclusions from
the Jonesboro police department, which
has faced questions from Carters fam-
ily and community members about the
circumstances surrounding the July 28
shooting.

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Tony Scott, director of such
Hollywood hits as Top
Gun, Days of Thunder and
Beverly Hills Cop II, died
Sunday after jumping from a
towering suspension bridge span-
ning Los Angeles harbor and leav-
ing behind several notes to loved
ones, authorities said.
The 68-year-old Scotts death
was being investigated as a suicide,
Los Angeles County Coroners Lt.
Joe Bale said.
I can confirm that Tony Scott
has passed away. The family asks
that their privacy is respected
at this time, Scotts spokesman,
Simon Halls, said in a statement.
An autopsy is scheduled for
Monday, coroners Chief of
Operations Craig Harvey said. He
said investigators located several
notes to loved ones that Scott left
in his car and at another location,
but that they were not described
in initial reports as suicide notes.
He said Scott parked his car at
the crest of the bridge, which is
185 feet above water, before leap-
ing to his death.
Several people called 911
around 12:35 p.m. to report that
someone had jumped from the
Vincent Thomas Bridge spanning
San Pedro and Terminal Island in
Los Angeles Harbor, according to
police Lt. Tim Nordquist.
A dive team with Los Angeles
Port Police pulled the body from
the murky water several hours
later, Nordquist said. Scotts body
was taken to a dock in Wilmington
and turned over to the county
coroners office.
One lane of the eastbound side
of the bridge was closed to traffic
during the investigation. Cargo
vessels moved at reduced speeds
through the east side of the ports
main channel during the search,
said Los Angeles Fire Department
spokesman Brian Humphrey.
The British-born Scott, who
lived in Beverly Hills, was pro-
ducer and director Ridley Scotts
younger brother. Distinct visual
styles mark both siblings films
Ridley Scott mastering the
creation of entire worlds with
such films as Gladiator, Blade
Runner, Alien and this years
Prometheus, Tony Scott known
for hyper-kinetic action and edit-
ing on such films as his most
recent, the runaway train thriller
Unstoppable, starring regular
collaborator Denzel Washington.
Scott was a thrill-seeker himself
in his personal life, an avid rock
climber who also liked driving
fast cars and motorcycles. Still,
filmmaking was his real thrill.
The biggest edge I live on is
directing, Scott said in an inter-
view.
Tony was the first of the Scott
brothers to enjoy blockbuster
success with Top Gun, starring
Tom Cruise, the top-grossing film
of 1986 at $176 million. Scott
teamed with Cruise again four
years later on the hit Days of
Thunder. He also had a sequel to
Top Gun in development.
Tony Scott. Gladiator won the
best-picture Academy Award for
2000 and earned Ridley Scott one
of his three best-director nomina-
tions; Tony Scott never was in the
running for an Oscar, and crit-
ics often slammed his movies for
emphasizing style over substance.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars
know things we dont.
aries (March 21-april 19)
Your ability to understand that
which is nearly unexplainable
might be more important than you
initially realize. Take action once
you grasp the whole situation.
Avoid taking your frustration out
on someone.
taurus (apri 20-May 20)
You might be feeling sore and/or
tired if you have been pushing too
hard. Nothing bad will happen if
you slow down a bit. Do not forget
to schedule a checkup or dentist
appointment. The message is to
take better care of yourself.
gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your creativity fourishes and oth-
ers respond, though perhaps not
as enthusiastically as you might
like. A child or new friend could act
up when you least expect it. You
might want to squeeze in a physi-
cal activity together to let off some
steam.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You are anchored and settled to
a point of being rigid. Instead
of sticking with a blunt no re-
sponse, explain your comfort level
and why you would prefer to go
with the status quo. Still, this
might not work and could provoke
a diffcult situation.
Leo (July 23-aug.22)
Speak your mind, but be ready to
feld some strong reactions. You
might want to hold back or post-
pone part of a volatile conversa-
tion. Put your energy where it
counts. Understand what is hap-
pening with a loved one.
Virgo (aug. 23-sept. 22)
Speak your mind, but be ready to
feld some strong reactions. You
might want to hold back or post-
pone part of a volatile conversa-
tion. Put your energy where it
counts. Understand what is hap-
pening with a loved one.
Libra (sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tension builds. You still have a
tendency to be negative at present,
which only creates more negativ-
ity. Be direct with a male friend or
someone who is extremely asser-
tive. You might need to say what
you feel and clear your mind and
energy.
scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Listen to someone who often gives
you excellent advice. You might be
more negative than you realize.
Be careful with suppressing your
anger -- it can explode when you
least expect it. Take a walk or an
extended break if you fnd that your
temper is close to the surface.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-dec. 21)
Look for more involvement within
your circle of friends. You enjoy
their support as well as their
ideas. You could discover how fery
a pal is in the process. This person
will not leave you alone until you
agree with his or her views. Find a
diplomatic way out.
Capricorn (dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Tension builds. You still have a
tendency to be negative at present,
which only creates more negativ-
ity. Be direct with a male friend or
someone who is extremely asser-
tive. You might need to say what
you feel and clear your mind and
energy.
aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep reaching out for novel ideas
and different approaches. You of-
ten need newness in your life. The
more you learn, the more open you
become, and the more likely there
will be a perpetual kaleidoscope of
new information.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You continue to have a discussion
with a partner. This person could
be stern and even angry at times.
You might need to listen in order to
fnd out the source of his or her an-
ger, especially if it involves you.

W
ith the beginning of
a new school year, we
are becoming settled
into life at the university, whether
that be Greek life or one outside
the community. And when it
comes to dating, some students
are dead-set on not mixing Greek
and non-Greeks.
But to not do so can mean
writing off someone great. Status
in or out of the Panhellenic com-
munity may be a turn-on or off,
but it alone shouldnt keep some-
thing new from forming.
Four years ago this month, I sat
in the Kansas Unions ballroom
and quickly tore open an invita-
tion from the sorority I was hop-
ing to be offered a bid to join. My
mother and I were thrilled that
I got into one of the KUs top
sororities, but once I settled into
the reality of being in it, I felt like
it was not for me.
So with that, three years ago
this month, I turned my pin and
membership certificate into the
sororitys headquarters and bid
my house and the institution of
Panhellenic life good riddance. In
the end I was disappointed that
Greek life left me unimpressed,
but I knew I made the right deci-
sion for myself.
When I left my sorority,
though, I didnt cut my ties with
a cute friend who was fiercely
devoted to his own fraternity.
We went out a few times when
I was Greek and continued to
do so even after I left my house
and became a God-damned
Independent, a common term
for non-Greeks in the Panehllenic
dictionary.
Dating Michael (name has
been changed) was like celebrat-
ing Halloween. He and I went
out a few times in Octobers 2008,
2009 and 2010. Each year it was
fun at first, but when he began
blowing me off for his house,
having him in my life again was
hardly a holiday. He certainly
gave more tricks than treats, so by
the first week of every November,
I was glad it was over.
Finally in 2010 we were sup-
posed to go another date, but he
canceled last minute to do some-
thing for his frat. He didnt offer
to take a rain check but promised
he was still into me. I figured he
could save it for someone who
would believe it and moved on.
I never heard from him again,
so Im glad I didnt wait up. That
year I swore off Greeks forever.
As fate would have it though,
my current boyfriend would over-
hear me complaining in class to a
friend about being blown off for
the date. He then pounced on the
opportunity to invite me to his
21st birthday party instead, which
was that night.
I said I couldnt make it
because I had to work (disclaim-
er: I wasnt lying. I had to work
in the dorms at midnight). But
he maintained interest anyway,
and I fell for him shortly after,
not realizing that he himself was
Greek like Michael. I assumed
it wouldnt work, but nearly two
years later, we talk of getting mar-
ried.
Whether we are Greek or
GDIs, it is acceptable for us to
consider being one or the other a
major turn-off, but we shouldnt
consider it a deal breaker until
it becomes a problem like it did
for Michael and me. While there
are negative stereotypes about
the Greek community, there are
definitely some diamonds in the
rough.
There are people on both sides
of the line we would consider
desirable or not, but we shouldnt
necessarily discount them for
being one or the other. If we try it
and it doesnt work, however, we
shouldnt feel pressured to keep
it alive. Sometimes relationships
just need perish.
Until that point, though,
Greek-GDI pairs can be very
successful, so dont knock it until
you try it. Whether you prefer
an Alpha or a Beta or nothing in
between, never use Panhellenic
status to automatically turn away
someone Nu.

T
he school year is here
again. Bring on the
homework, the exams,
the labs and the endless supply
of things to do.
My fellow Jayhawks, its time
to gear up and get ready. Its
game-time. Now is the time to
decide just how good of a semes-
ter this is going to be.
Set your goals. Aim for
the grades you know you can
achieve and put in the work to
get them. Itll be hard. That illu-
sive A isnt going to appear on its
own, but you can make it work.
Then again, theres the issue
of TAs, GTAs and professors you
may have heard bad things about
or already have an issue with.
But dont count them out yet.
Give everyone an equal opportu-
nity and learn from them none-
theless. The truth is, working to
build a good relationship, even if
it doesnt extend past the class-
room, can make a difference in
your learning experience.
Then there are the projects
and exams that are all scheduled
within a week of each other.
Your stress level may proceed
to rise, but its up to you to keep
your cool and work through it.
Do what youve got to do. Go
for it. If you need to study that
extra hour, do it. What it boils
down to is this: your success is
dependent on you.
Its common sense if you think
about it. Do you think that the
Kansas Basketball team won five
championships without work-
ing for it? Do you think they
waited for it to come to them? I
think not. They put in the time
and made the tough decisions
required of a team determined to
be number one.
And that, my friends, is how
Jayhawks rise to the top of the
pack. We make the tough plays
and just get through it.
Theres going to be times that
the goal seems unattainable. Itll
melt into the distance, but in
reality, its still alive. One loss
isnt cause for the destruction of
dreams. Its up to you to keep it
alive.
Those all-nighters, the days
you dont see anything other
than the library, and nights that
you spend stressed out. Theyll
pay off when you succeed. Dont
quit and dont lose your motiva-
tion.
Work hard, Jayhawks. You can
do it if you never lose sight of
your goals.

A
s (hopefully) virtu-
ally every University of
Kansas student already
knows, its an election sea-
son. Discussions of President
Barack Obamas and former
Massachusetts Governor (R)
Mitt Romneys policies, personal
lives, and polling data dominate
the news, and will continue to
do so until the first Tuesday in
November. These dialogues are
valuable; however, they distract
from other, equally important
contests that will be decided on
Election Day.
Its easy for voters to become
apathetic, as demonstrated by
data on voting registration and
turnout released by the United
States Census. Nationally, roughly
65% of voting-age Americans
are registered to vote, and 60%
vote in typical presidential elec-
tions. In between, during the
Congressional election cycle,
that number falls to about 40%.
In Kansas, those statistics seem
to follow the national trends
although the percent casting
votes for members of the U.S.
House of Representatives has
been slightly higher over the past
three elections.
Why do we care more about
presidential elections than
who represents us in either the
national or statewide Congress?
Exposure to national media cov-
erage may play a factor, as voters
who primarily turn to a large net-
work or publication may miss out
on the details of their own state-
wide politics. Its also possible
that these national debates hash
out the big questions for voters,
who decide which party they sup-
port and then vote for all of its
candidates, regardless of office.
If voters feel their ballot doesnt
affect the election, its unlikely
theyll feel a pressing need to
vote. Unfortunately, weve chosen
to frame our national political
identity in terms of the contest
in which the most people par-
ticipate. As the Electoral College
system determines who wins
the presidency, the race will be
decided by how swing states
voteand I havent seen a single
article, model, or political analyst
who describes Kansas as a swing
state. Kansas hasnt voted for a
Democratic presidential candi-
date since Lyndon B. Johnson
won the presidency in 1964. Nate
Silver, the New York Times poll-
ing guru, currently gives Romney
a 99.8% chance of winning
Kansass six electoral votes.
This doesnt mean casting your
ballot is just a formality. However,
we should reevaluate how we
approach an election season.
Rather than focusing only on the
most recent presidential attack
ads, we should prepare ourselves
for elections closer to home. To
begin, voters have to know what
theyll be asked to vote for once
they step inside a ballot box. The
easiest way to do this is to visit
www.voteks.org, a website run by
the office of the Kansas Secretary
of State. Once youve registered to
vote (an online process that takes
about five minutes), youll be able
to see every district you belong
to and use that information to
determine upcoming election
questions. If youre not a Kansas
resident, you can either register
to vote in your home state or
in Kansas, using your current
address. Voters registering in
other states should determine
what the deadlines for registra-
tion as soon as possible, as they
vary.
It can be difficult to find infor-
mation about localized elections,
but an amazing resource is www.
ballotpedia.org, a Wikipedia-like
website that collects information
on local politics to encourage
civic engagement. In-state news-
papers like The Wichita Eagle
or Topeka Capital-Journal also
cover state politics. Candidates
may also have websites, Facebook
pages, or Twitter accounts where
they share information with pro-
spective voters.
State primaries concluded ear-
lier this month, and The Wichita
Eagle reports that less than a
quarter of registered Kansas vot-
ers participated. As the national
debate grows more polarized,
voters should take the time to
understand the local impact of
Election Day.

TUESDAY, AUgUST 21, 2012 PAgE 8 ThE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Te
Kansas City Royals opened a sev-
en-game road trip on a high note
before Jeremy Hellickson put a
quick stop to it Monday night.
Hellickson pitched seven strong
innings for his frst home win in
three months and the Tampa Bay
Rays won 5-1, handing the Royals
only their fourth loss in 13 games.
Were playing well, but its a
tough place to play and theyre
playing very, very well, said Roy-
als manager Ned Yost of the Rays,
who have won fve straight.
Teir starting pitchings out-
standing, and we come in and face
Hellickson and (David) Price and
(James) Shields. Tats a tough go
of it, and coming into this park,
it takes you a game to kind of get
used to the surroundings and see
the ball.
Tat was particularly true of
Alex Gordon, who had two of the
Royals six hits. Gordon came into
the game hitting 2 for 53 at Tropi-
cana Field.
We knew (Hellickson) had a
good changeup and thats what we
were looking for and he mixed it
up, kept us of-balance, said Gor-
don, who drove in Kansas Citys
only run with a single in the third
inning.
Hellickson (8-8) allowed one
run and six hits in ending a stretch
of seven consecutive winless starts
at home, dating to a 2-1 victory
over Boston on May 16.
Te Rays went ahead 4-1 in the
fourth on Jose Labatons RBI single
and a run-scoring double from
Desmond Jennings of Will Smith
(4-5).
Smith lasted just 3 2-3 innings,
giving up four runs and eight hits.
Te lef-hander had won his previ-
ous two starts, allowing two runs
over seven innings in games against
both Baltimore and Oakland.
Afer the frst inning, I was just
bad, Smith said. No location,
no breaking ball today, which re-
ally hurt. I was falling behind too
much. You have those days but you
hate having em.
Hellickson worked out of a two-
on, no-out jam in the sixth. Te
right-hander appeared to have
induced a double-play grounder
from Billy Butler, but second base-
man Ryan Roberts throw afer re-
cording an out at second looked as
if it broke through the webbing on
frst baseman Jef Keppingers glove
and wound up behind the bag.
Unfazed, Hellickson then got an
inning-ending double-play from
Salvador Perez.
Hellickson was the losing pitcher
in his last start despite allowing
one run over seven innings last
Wednesday against Seattle when
Felix Hernandez threw the Mari-
ners frst perfect game.
I thought I was really good,
Hellickson said. Got ahead of
guys, curveball was pretty good.
Just threw strikes for the most
part.
Tampa Bay reliever J.P. Howell
worked a scoreless eighth to extend
his team-record scoreless streak to
25 2-3 innings. Kyle Farnsworth
got the fnal three outs in a non-
save situation.
Elliot Johnson put the Rays
ahead 1-0 on a run-scoring single
in the second. Jennings hit a third-
inning triple and scored on Smiths
wild pitch as Tampa Bay took a 2-1
lead.
Keppinger extended the Rays
advantage to 5-1 with a ffh-in-
ning solo homer.
Kansas City tied it 1-all on Gor-
dons RBI infeld single. Te Royals
completed a 5-1 homestand Sun-
day, which included a three-game
sweep over the AL Central-leading

PHILADELPHIA John May-
berry Jr. hit a two-run homer and
Ryan Howard and Erik Kratz had
solo shots to back Roy Halladay,
helping the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the Cincinnati Reds 12-5 on
Monday night.
Halladay (7-7) wasnt sharp, al-
lowing fve runs and 10 hits in sev-
en innings. But the ofense bailed
out the two-time Cy Young Award
winner.
Domonic Brown hit a go-ahead
two-run double of Mike Leake (5-
8) in a four-run ffh. Mayberry had
three hits and three RBIs, Chase
Utley, Howard and Kratz each
drove in two and Juan Pierre had
three hits and three runs.
Te Phillies have won seven
straight over the Reds and 12 of 13,
dating to 2010. Tis was their frst
meeting this season.
Te NL-Central leading Reds
lost for just the third time in 11
games.
Te fve-time defending NL East
champions have won three straight,
but are eight games under .500.
Afer the Reds took a 5-4 lead in
the ffh, the Phillies answered in
the bottom half.
Pierre singled and scored on Ut-
leys RBI double. Afer Howard was
intentionally walked, Mayberry
ripped an RBI single to tie it. Brown
followed with a shot down the line
that scored two to chase Leake and
give Philadelphia a 7-5 lead.
Leake allowed seven runs and 10
hits in 4 1-3 innings.
Utley hit a sacrifce fy in the
sixth and Mayberry connected of
Jose Arredondo to extend the lead
to 10-5.
Te Reds loaded the bases in the
frst on three straight singles to start
the game. Jay Bruce then ripped a
line-drive double of the right-feld
wall that shouldve scored two. But
Chris Heisey stopped afer round-
ing third and was tagged out at the
plate.
Scott Rolens RBI groundout
made it 2-0.
Pierre hit a double, stole third
and scored on Howards two-out
single to cut it to 2-1 in the bottom
half.
Howard drove one way out to
right to tie it at 2 in the third. Kratz
went deep to lef-center to make it
3-2 in the fourth.
Kratz has seven homers in 61 at-
bats. Te 32-year-old local boy has
turned into a fan favorite in his frst
extended action in the big leagues
afer 11 seasons in the minors.
Filling in for All-Star catcher Car-
los Ruiz, Kratz is hitting .295 with
more extra-bases (13) than singles
(5).
Cincinnati scored three runs
with two outs in the ffh on Heiseys
RBI double, Bruces RBI single and
a botched rundown that allowed
Phillips to score afer Bruce was
picked of frst.

ARLINGTON, Texas Ryan
Dempster pitched eight innings,
his longest outing in more than two
months and his best since being
traded to Texas, and the AL West-
leading Rangers beat the surprising
Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Monday
night.
Dempster (2-1 in Texas, 7-6
overall) retired the last 11 batters he
faced. Te right-hander acquired
from the Chicago Cubs on July 31
allowed one run and four hits.
David Murphy had two RBI sin-
gles for the Rangers, who opened a
10-game homestand. All nine Texas
starters had a hit.
Miguel Gonzalez (5-3), who had
won his previous three decisions,
gave up four runs in fve innings.
Te Orioles have still won 11 of
their last 16 games.
Joe Nathan struck out the side in
the ninth.
Dempster was pitching on extra
rest afer missing the weekend se-
ries in his native Canada for per-
sonal reasons. While he wasnt with
the Rangers for the three games in
Toronto and missed his scheduled
start Saturday, he threw a bullpen
session over the weekend.
In his 16 starts for the Cubs be-
fore the trade, Dempster had a 2.25
ERA and pitched eight innings
twice. Te last time was June 10 at
Minnesota.
Afer giving up eight runs twice,
Dempster had an 8.31 ERA in his
frst three starts for Texas.
Dempster needed only three
pitches to get the frst two Bal-
timore batters out before Nate
McLouth doubled and scored on
Adam Jones sof single. Tat was
the only run the Orioles got.
Only two runners reached sec-
ond base against Dempster afer
that, and the last Baltimore batter
to reach was Nick Markakis with a
one-out single in the ffh. Demp-
ster struck out six and walked two
while throwing 111 pitches.
Te Rangers took the lead for
good with three runs in the fourth.
Gonzalez, who had won three
consecutive decisions, gave up hits
to the frst two batters he faced. But
the right-hander couldnt get out of
a similar jam in the fourth.
Adrian Beltre had a leadof
single before Nelson Cruz walked.
Murphy blooped a one-out single
to lef to tie the game at 1. Geovany
Soto followed with an RBI single
before Mitch Moreland reached on
an infeld single. Ian Kinsler hit a
sacrifce fy to make it 3-1.
Kinsler walked twice and was 1
for 2, but still had only six hits in 48
at-bats over his last 13 games.
Josh Hamilton led of the ffh
with a single and scored on a dou-
ble by Cruz.

An already veteran Kansas vol-
leyball team deepened with the
addition of a former Miami basket-
ball player.
Sylvia Bullock, a graduate stu-
dent transferred from University
of Miami where she played played
four years on the Hurricanes bas-
ketball team. As captain at Miami
in 2011 Bullock helped lead them
to a No. 8 ranking in the AP poll
and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tour-
nament. Bullock, who started play-
ing volleyball so one of her friends
would have someone to hit with,
hasnt played the sport competi-
tively since high school, but coach
Ray Bechard said Bullock can still
contribute immediately because of
her athletic experience.
She was their team captain a
couple of years, Bechard said. I
think she knows what leaderships
about, she knows work ethic, she
knows what it takes to be a high
level athlete.
Although Bullock will be a grad-
uate student, she is eligible to play
volleyball at Kansas because of an
NCAA rule that allows a graduate
student-athlete to play immediately
at his or her new school if that stu-
dent is pursuing a graduate degree
in a program not offered at the
students original school.
Bullock is pursuing a Masters
degree in English, and according
to the athletics department, she has
one year left in her eligibility.
Id go to the Miami volleyball
games and I was like I can do that,
Bullock said. Im competitive, and
I just like getting out there and see-
ing that Im able to do this.
Bullock said playing basketball
helped her quickness and jumping
ability, which are also important
volleyball skills.
Bullock averaged 1.4 blocks per
game for the Hurricanes as a senior,
which was fifth place in the Atlantic
Coast Conference.
She said that the biggest adjust-
ment for her right now is picking
volleyball terminology back up and
knowing where to be on the court.
Bullock said her new teammates
have helped her in practice so far by
talking to her on the court and tell-
ing her where she needs to be.
Bechard said Bullocks volleyball
ability will come back to her with
practice.
In volleyball theres a lot of fine
motor skills involved with handling
the ball and getting hand con-
tact on the ball and just hand-eye
coordination, Bechard said. All
of those things are going to come
back to her, hopefully sooner rather
than later.
To get back into volleyball
rhythm, Bullock has been working
with Kansas assistant coach Laura
Bird Kuhn, who was a volleyball
coach at Miami during Bullocks
time on the basketball team.
I had known Coach Bird pre-
viously, Bullock said. Shes close
with my basketball coaches at
Miami. I told them I wanted to play
volleyball and they were like, Oh,
well coach Bird, you should look
at her.
Even though Miami is far from
her hometown of Anchorage,
Alaska, Bullock said she chose
Miami because she felt a family
atmosphere, and it was a smaller,
private school with a coaching staff
that was willing to give one-on-one
instruction.
During her sophomore year at
Miami, Bullock said the Hurricanes
suffered through a number of close
losses. In 2011, the Jayhawks had a
3-13 conference record and lost 42
sets, but 16 of those set losses were
by three points or fewer. Bullock
said she can immediately contrib-
ute to the Jayhawks by helping the
team push through close matches.
One of her new teammates,
redshirt junior Caroline Jarmoc,
said Bullock is already pushing the
Jayhawks through her dedication.
Sylvias super athletic and she
gets at me at the weight room all
the time, said Jarmoc. Shes so
strong.

T
he Kansas City Chiefs have it all
coming together this year. After
a season riddled with injuries to
critical players, each piece of the team
puzzle seems to be falling in place for
the upcoming year. While some players
like Jamaal Chalres, Tony Moeaki and
Eric Barry missed nearly the entire last
season. One key piece of the puzzle was
absent in during the length of the off-
season.
Welcome back Dwayne Bowe.
Bowe signed his franchise tender
Friday Aug. 17 in a one-year deal for
around $9.5 million after holding out on
signing for the entire off-season.
That means two things. One, Bowe
will be paid handsomely for what many
believe is his final year in Kansas City.
Two, Bowe will be on the field for what
many believe is his final year in Kansas
City.
Before signing on Friday, many
thought Bowe could continue this hold
out into the regular season schedule.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike
Wallace still hasnt signed his franchise
tender and is a strong candidate for doing
just that.
What does this means for Chiefs fans?
The front office and the medical staff
have secured the successful return of
nearly all important players. Excluding
the loss of cornerback Brandon Carr, the
Chiefs have found upgrades and depth
through the NFL draft and free agency.
Carrs hole was filled with the signing
of ex-Raider corner Stanford Routt. Eric
Winston is a gigantic pick up at right
tackle and the bull dog that is running
back Peyton Hillis could bring back the
bone-crushing running game that took
the Chiefs to the playoffs two years ago.
Signing Dwayne Bowe is the final
mark in a complete offseason from the
Chiefs. Bowe topped 1,000 yards receiv-
ing for the second straight year and the
third in his last four seasons.
Heres the scary thing: half of the
games were started by either Kyle Orton
or Tyler Palko. Thats your NFL equiva-
lent of taking the doorman at the Hawk
and throwing on the field at Memorial
Stadium on Saturdays. Bowe simply
didnt have a quality quarterback throw-
ing him the ball much and no running
game to take the pressure off him. Take a
look at the numbers.
Despite being targeted less in 2010,
Bowe amassed more 1,162 yards and
15 touchdowns. The Chief s offense
depends on all of its parts to be tough to
defend. The Chiefs are not the Patriots or
Packers who can sling the rock 50 times a
game and get away with it. In 2011, with
an offense absent of a running game,
the Chiefs became one-dimensional and
scored just 20 touchdowns. With a com-
plete and healthy team in 2010, Bowe and
company tallied up 44 touchdowns.
This Kansas City team is good and the
running game is the driving force behind
it. However, that doesnt happen without
having a guy like Bowe. He keeps safeties
out of the box and demands attention in
the secondary. Hillis and Charles will
get theirs, its inevitable. But as they do,
they open the doors for Bowe. He has the
strength and size to run in the middle
and the speed to burn corners deep.
Bowe is a perfect fit for what the Chiefs
want to do.
Get excited Chiefs fans. Bowe is bring-
ing the swagger back to Arrowhead. And
hopefully the touchdowns too.

West Virginia has been
winning championships
in the Big East but head
coach Dana Holgorsen is
no stranger to the Big 12.
Holgorsen spent time as an
assistant coach with Texas
Tech and Oklahoma State
before taking over the Moun-
taineers last season. And in
his frst season Holgorsen
delivered a 10-3 record,
Big East championship and
dominated Clemson in the
Orange Bowl 70-33 earning
himself a six-year exten-
sion. His pass heavy offense
notched 63 touchdowns last
season and will look to con-
tinue its staggering ascent
as one of the best scoring
teams in the nation.
StoRY to wAtCh
One of the fastest ris-
ing stocks in college foot-
ball, Geno Smith will be the
Mountaineers main attrac-
tion. The Heisman hopeful
obliterated defenses last
season with 4385 passing
yards and 31 touchdowns
in his frst year under cen-
ter at West Virginia. If
Smith progresses the way
most analysts are expect-
ing West Virginia could be
headed back to a BCS bowl.
Of course, opposing Big 12
defenses will have a say in
that. Holgorsens experience
at Texas Tech and Oklahoma
State will be invaluable for
the senior quarterback.

TCU enters the Big 12
with four straight 11-win
seasons, and three straight
conference championships
in the Mountain West. Their
dual-threat offense features
a stout run game with a pro-
ductive quarterback in Casey
Pachall. Last season Pachall
threw for 2921 yards with 25
touchdowns, to complement
his backfelds 2712 yards
and 38 scores. Even with the
departure of running back Ed
Wesley (726-yards in 2011)
the Horned Frogs still have
two 700-plus yard backs in
Matthew Tucker and Waymon
James. The Horned Frogs
offense does most of the
heavy lifting for head coach
Gary Patterson averaging 40
points a game last season.

TCU has had a success-
ful run since Gary Patterson
took over in 2000, but they
have never had to go against
the top tier teams week af-
ter week playing in the WAC,
C-USA and Mountain West

6-4 record against the Big
12 since 2002 half of those
wins came against Baylor,
and this season he will have

New York Mets Daniel Murphy reacts after a strike during the sixth inning of a
baseball game against the Colorado Rockies, Monday, Aug. 20, 2012, at Citi Field
in New York.
Mets drop to third in loss to Rockies
ASSoCIAtED PRESS
NEW YORK Tyler Colvin hit
a tying homer off R.A. Dickey in
the fifth inning then made a div-
ing play in the eighth to preserve
the lead, and the Colorado Rockies
beat the New York Mets 3-1 on
Monday night.
Jonathan Herrera bunted for a
hit in the top of the eighth and
made his way around the bases
with help from some inept defense
to give Colorado a 2-1 lead.
Colvins first home run in 105
at-bats, denied the knuckleballer a
chance at his 16th win and helped
the Rockies to their sixth victory in
eight games.
The loss dropped the Mets
(57-65) into a third-place tie
with Philadelphia in the NL East,
18 1-2 games behind first-place
Washington.
With Michael Cuddyer the lat-
est Colorado player to go on the
disabled list, Colvin was playing
first base. He made a lunging stop
on pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespins
sharp grounder just inside the bag
with the bases loaded and his toss
to reliever Matt Belisle just beat
a diving Valdespin to the bag.
Valdepsin jumped up, waving his
arms in disbelief, and manager
Terry Collins engaged first base
umpire Lance Barksdale in a pro-
longed discussion.
Rafael Betancourt, the Rockies
fifth pitcher, put two runners on
before getting Mike Baxter to fly
out to center finishing his 24th
save.
Guillermo Moscoso gave up a
hit in 2 1-3 innings, Rex Brothers
(7-2) allowed a hit in 1 1-3 innings
and Belisle got one big out for the
Rockies.
Alex White was done after four
wild, but effective innings under
manager Jim Tracys four-man rota-
tion. He allowed three hits and two
walks on 83 pitches 46 strikes.
Tracy has been limiting his pitchers
to about 75 tosses a game.
The team could go back to a
five-man rotation soon. Jhoulys
Chacin (pectoral nerve irritation)
is scheduled to make his first start
since May 1 on Tuesday and Drew
Pomeranz will make his next start
Friday, Tracy said. Depending on
how Chacin does, all five could
remain.
Dickey was lifted for a pinch-
hitter in the seventh inning, and
Herrera led off the eighth with
a push a bunt toward first base.
Reliever Josh Edgin (1-1) tried to
shovel the ball with his glove to
first baseman Ike Davis but the
toss went way off line and Herrera
raced to second on the Mets first
error in 10 games.
Herrera advanced to third on
Chris Nelsons sacrifice and scored
on a passed ball by Kelly Shoppach,
who struck out batting for Josh
Thole in the seventh with a runner
on first.
The Mets loaded the bases
against Brothers in the bottom half,
getting a runner past first for the
first time since they went ahead 1-0
on Daniel Murphys single in the
opening inning.
Baxter hit a bloop double with
one out and David Wright was
intentionally walked. Davis struck
out then Murphy walked. Belisle
relieved and Valdespin then
grounded out.
Pinch-hitter Ramon Hernandez
had an RBI single off Jon Rauch in
the ninth to make it 3-1 and help
send the Mets to their 10th loss in
14 games.
While the Mets have shifted to
a six-man rotation to give extra
rest to Johan Santana and Chris
Young and help limit rookie Matt
Harveys innings, Dickey will pitch
on his regular schedule to give him
a couple of more chances at a pos-
sible 20-win season.
The knuckleballer was coming
off a rough start at Cincinnati in
which he was asked to remove
two bracelets and matched season
highs by giving up three homers
and 10 hits.
He had little trouble with the
Rockies injury-depleted lineup.
Dickey retired the first eight batters
before White looped a single over
the outstretched glove of a leap-
ing Murphy, the second baseman.
He gave up three hits overall and
walked two in seven innings.
But a Mets offense that has aver-
aged less than three runs a game
over their previous 13 provided
him with little support and he was
lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sev-
enth inning of a tie game.

In football, its all about opportu-
nity. Athletes enter the program as
freshmen and hope for the chance
to prove themselves on the playing
feld in little time as possible.
Some wait for three to four years
and earn their place during their
senior campaign. Others are lucky
enough to start as freshmen.
But for Kansas sophomore run-
ning back Tony Pierson, that op-
portunity is now.
Back in April, junior running
back James Sims was suspended
for the frst three games of the 2012
season afer he violated team rules.
Sims was Kansas leading rusher in
2011. He rushed for 727 yards on
182 carries and scoring nine touch-
downs.
Kansas second leading rusher
running back Darrian Miller trans-
ferred afer an excellent freshman
season, rushing for 559 yards and
scoring four times.
With both running backs out of
the picture, Piersons electric play
has a chance to shine and earn him
the feature role in the Kansas of-
fense.
Sure, at frst glance it would seem
that Piersons numbers are a bit low.
Pierson only rushed for 396 yards
and scored three times. But, Pier-
son only carried the ball 71 times
and played in one fewer game than
Sims.
Sims and Miller both fnished
the 2011 season averaging four
yards a carry. Not bad, but Pierson
shattered that, averaging 5.6 yards.
Also, Sims and Miller both had
10 or more carries in all but one
game. Pierson on the other hand
only reached double-digits once
last season with 11 carries against
Missouri in the fnal Border Show-
down game.
Pierson showcased his speed last
year in numerous games by gaining
big chunks of yards with fewer at-
tempts . He didnt have the longest
carry last year, but in seven of the
11 games, his longest carry was 10
or more yards. And in four of the
games his longest carry was 20 or
more yards.
Piersons speed and ability to
make big plays make him a great
option as the feature running back,
but consistency will be the biggest
question mark.
Pierson was rarely used last year.
Its hard to tell what he can truly do
when only showing his talents in
such short, electric bursts.
Even with the big question mark
surrounding him, Pierson has a
chance to rise to the occasion.
South Dakota State and Rice may
not be the best competition, but
the opponents will be a measuring
stick of what Pierson can do.
Te biggest game though has
to be against new Big 12 member
TCU. If Pierson does well against
TCU, expect him to receive 15 car-
ries a game with Sims back in the
lineup.
Te road to become the feature
running back may be long and
strange, but with these opportuni-
ties, Pierson can earn his spot as
number one.

cross country
football

When a teams best player goes
down with an injury, the team
has two choices. One, they can go
through the motions and act like
he was the whole reason they were
good. Or two, they can strive to be
better and make up for the loss.
The latter of the two is what the
mens cross country team decided
to do when they lost then junior
Donny Wasinger to a pulled achil-
les tendon last season.
With him last year, the team
could have been much better, but
without him, it made the team
much better, assistant coach
Michael Whittlesey said. Because
his leadership wasnt out there and
the younger athletes had to step
forward and learn on their own.
Now Wasinger is a senior and
the returning corps will be pushing
him to be the number one guy to
lead the Jayhawks.
Its the strongest team weve had
in a number of years. Its not just
from a talent basis, but also a com-
mitment basis, Whittlesey said.
Whittlesey also said that anyone
on the team can push to be in the
front five even if they are the 10th
runner. The top five runners in
each race make up the team score,
so competition is always good. The
commitment to be in the top five is
visible by the summer training.
Weve had a lot of guys that were
committed and putting in a lot
of miles, Wasinger said. Multiple
guys putting in 100-mile weeks
throughout the summer.
The mens cross country team
brings back 15 letterwinners and
six Big 12 scorers. Redshirt fresh-
man Gabe Gonzalez, junior Josh
Munsch and senior Josh Baden
will look to join Wasinger in the
top five.
Gonzalez is expected, along with
Wasinger as the top two runners
for the Jayhawks. Munsch compet-
ed in the NCAA Championships
with track and field last year and
Whittlesey believes the experience
he had there will have a positive
reaction for the cross country sea-
son.
Baden has had to work hard to
get where he isafter barely making
the cut his freshmen year, but is
now in a place to be one of the top
three runners for the Jayhawks.
In order for a successful season,
the cross country team will have to
rely on everyone to make a com-
mitment to the team.
The returners this year have
really stepped up, Whittlsey
said.The commitment that our
sophomores and freshmen from
last year that they have put forth
the last 12 months have been tre-
mendous. Theyve really stepped
up their game.

One of the biggest transitions
in football is when a player leaves
college and begins playing profes-
sionally. Dave Campo, Kansas de-
fensive coordinator, is making the
jump from coaching in the NFL to
coaching in the Big 12.
Campos biggest challenge dur-
ing the transition has been switch-
ing his style of coaching defense
and making sure that his players
can get a good grasp of the sys-
tem.
Campo said the Big 12 is dif-
ferent from other athletic confer-
ences in many ways.
When you talk about the SEC
or the PAC 12, they are almost
more NFL-type leagues from the
standpoint that they are all like
what Texas is doing, Campo said,
explaining how the Big 12 is more
fast-paced with a spread ofense.
For the past 22 years, Campo
has coached with the Dallas
Cowboys, Cleveland Browns and
Jacksonville Jaguars while serv-
ing diferent roles throughout his
professional coach-
ing career including
the head coach of the
Cowboys from 2000-
02.
His most trium-
phant run in the
NFL came during
the 1992-93 season
through 1995-96 sea-
son where Campo was
the secondary coach
and defensive coor-
dinator while helping
the Cowboys win three Super
Bowl titles in the span of four sea-
sons.
Campo is learning that coach-
ing players in college is not like
coaching players in the pros. For
him, leading college football play-
ers through teaching is a new, en-
joyable learning experience.
Its a breath of fresh air for me.
Campo said. You dont do quite
as much technique stuf when
youve got guys
that have been
in your system
for seven or
eight years. I
feel good about
that. I think
were making
progress in
those areas.
Despite hav-
ing a new de-
fensive coor-
dinator, Toben
Opurum, senior defensive
end and captain, said that he has
been able to pick up Campos de-
fense. His shif with a new coach
is not something that is setting
him back, but rather helping him
sharpen and elevate his game.
Hes been able to coach guys
who have been in the same posi-
tion as I have, Opurum said. I
know the technique he wants me
to use and I know what he expects
out of me and he has helped me
get better.
As Opurum and his teammates
prepare for the season to kickof
in less than two weeks, he knows
that his team will be ready against
South Dakota State.
Come September 1 we get a
new opponent, he said. I think
well really be able to see what
were capable of. Im confdent in
what were doing and I really like
what coach Campo has us doing
out there.
At the start of fall camp, Campo
made it clear that his Kansas de-
fense wont be one-dimensional,
but itll more versatile. Right now
South Dakota State has no idea
what we are going to do, because
I have been in about fve diferent
defenses in the last three or four
years, Campo said. I think you
would have to say we are a mul-
tiple defense. We are capable of
doing a lot of things, if the per-
sonnel fts.
Afer giving up 393 points in
the conference last year, Campo
is working on implementing a
sound defense in hopes that the
Jayhawks can improve. Campo
has no set expectations in his frst
year with the Jayhawks, but he
sees a better football team going
into a new season.
I think fundamentally, were a
better football team than we were
when I came in here, he said. I
think eventually that will pay divi-
dends.

mens basketball coach bill self off-
cially announced Monday that freshman
guard Milton Doyle would not return for
the 2012 season.
We spoke to Milt at length sunday on
what we thought his role would be within
our program, self said in a statement.
We discussed his options and the frst
option was welcoming him back for
the fall. His leaving is entirely his own
choice, one that he felt was best for his
future.
on June 18, Doyle signed a grant-in-
aid agreement and took classes over the
summer in lawrence. Doyle then went
through workouts with team before they
