HI: 54
LO: 30
At the age of 8, she wrote her frst
song. Now 20-year-old Lindsey Al-
derman has written hundreds of
songs, signed a record deal and will
be moving to Atlanta in a couple
weeks.
Alderman moved to Lawrence
from New Jersey nine years ago.
She was a student at the Universi-
ty her freshman year and attended
Johnson County Community Col-
lege her second. But over the sum-
mer she decided to pursue what she
believed she was meant to do.
She said Lawrence is hands down
the most artsy place she has lived
in, and there is a lot of support in
the city for any type of art.
It has defnitely helped me gain
confdence because the people here
are just so supportive, Alderman
said.
Alderman knew she would end
up following her dream, but living
in Lawrence helped because of the
opportunities within the commu-
nity.
But there was something bigger
that was ultimately compelling her
to pursue her dream: sheer passion.
I dont think you can be success-
ful with anything unless its truly a
passion in your heart, Alderman
said. Because when you have that
passion, even when you fall, youre
still going to be motivated to get
back up because you want it so
bad.
Alderman considers herself an
R&B pop artist with hip-hop in-
fuence. She grew up listening to
artists such as Mariah Carey, Ush-
er, Britney Spears, Beyonce and
the late Sam Cooke, who has been
called the King of Soul. She said
the passion and soulfulness in R&B
draws her to it.
Songwriting is just as much Al-
dermans passion as performing.
She has written countless songs,
and whether its an entire piece or
a simple verse, she writes every day.
Her love of words and writing led
her to audition for a songwriting
competition in Atlanta where
she met her current manager
which was the start of a domino
efect to her recent success. She
was introduced to infuential music
moguls and opportunities fooded
in from there.
Te end of August was Aldermans
frst week in Atlanta. She went back
in September, and in a matter of
three weeks signed a record deal.
It is unbelievable all the opportu-
nities I have been given, Alderman
said. It makes me feel like this is
what Im supposed to do because
once I started pursuing it, every-
thing opened up.
Day by day she recorded and
wrote songs while in Atlanta, lead-
ing up to a showcase for major la-
bel executives. Alderman is now
signed as a solo artist to Shonga-
ia Ony Entertainment, which is
partnered with Interscope Records.
She will be writing and recording
while working toward the release
of her debut album.
Alderman said it has been a bless-
ing with how fast everything has
happened, and encourages any as-
piring musical artists to stay true to
themselves.
Despite the pressures of society
to follow a certain type of routine,
dont be afraid to break the mold,
Alderman said. Whatever you do,
you should never try and ft in.

ney to the release of her frst album,

Te Student Legislative Aware-
ness Board is trying to inform
and push registration as part of
an annual voter registration drive
sponsored by Student Senate.
Eric Hurtt, SLAB chair and
government relations director for
Student Senate, said registering
voters is part of his job.
Te drive is part of civic en-
gagement and KU Leadership,
Oct. 20 to Oct. 31, sponsored by
Student Senate and the Dole In-
stitute of Politics.
SLAB Media Director Natalie
Parker said the voter registration
drive is great for showing stu-
dents how easy it is to register.
Personally, why I wanted help
with this is because I want to get
more people aware of not only
elections, but that they can vote,
she said.
Parker and Hurtt said they do
not want students to be intimi-
dated by the process or the paper-
work because the frst step takes
only a minute.
Its tough to get people in pass-
ing to want to take care of busi-
ness like this, Hurtt said. But,
when they do stop by, they are
always happy they did it.
SLAB will be registering voters
at their table every day from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. until Oct. 31.
All students have to do is stop
by the table, which is alternating
from Watson Librarys front lawn
to in front of Wescoe Hall, and fll
out the form.
According to the Public Af-
fairs Director in the Ofce of the
Kansas Secretary of State, V. Kay
Curtis, SLAB members will drop
of the registration forms at the
county clerks ofce to be pro-
cessed. Afer students register, the
county clerk will send them a let-
ter requesting proof of citizenship
as part of a Kansas voting law that
passed in 2011.
Once the county clerk has all the
information, a confrmation card
is sent to registered voters to noti-
fy them of their polling place.

to register to vote and about the

Weve all seen it: an angry coach
or parent yelling at or berating an
under-performing youth player.
Many of us are ofen lef wonder-
ing Is that really helping any-
thing? A recent University study
says the overwhelming answer to
this question is no.
Mary Fry, associate professor of
sports psychology, and doctoral
student Susumu Iwasaki recently
conducted a study analyzing the
environments of youth athletes in
the Lawrence area in relation to
their intrinsic motivation.
Te study concluded that ath-
letes exposed to a positive sports
environment were much more
likely to succeed and enjoy them-
selves than those who are im-
mersed in a negative one.
Te more [the kids] perceived
positive and supporting environ-
ments, the higher the intrinsic
motivation and desire to continue
to play the sport was, Fry said.
Fry and Iwasaki handed out
questionnaires to youth basket-
ball and volleyball players, ages
9-18, asking them to evaluate
their environment and how much
positive interaction they felt that
they received.
Te results of these question-
naires showed that the childrens
perceptions of their environments
were actually very good, citing a
positive atmosphere and future
desire to participate in sports.
But Fry said that administrators
can always look for ways to get
better.
Teres still room for improve-
ment, she said. By collecting
data, they have something to
build their eforts on, something
they can use to train coaches and
educate parents.
Te idea for the study came
when Fry and Iwasaki came in
contact with two sports admin-
istrators who were interested in
feedback on how to improve their
atmospheres and provide a better
experience for their kids.
Sports administrators usual-
ly have a full plate or dont have
the skill set to develop a survey
and gather results, Fry said. Its
a great partnership for adminis-
trators and sports psychologists
to team up to make their sports
better.
Iwasaki agreed, saying that
coaches and parents are some-
times unable to grasp the full
concept of this when it comes to
their children.
When you dont quantify the
information, you dont get the
bigger picture, he said. Some-
times, it can be difcult for coach-
es to think about improving their
coaching methods in this way.
Fry notes that the diferences in
environments are the result of ei-
ther implementing a task-involv-
ing climate or an ego-involving
climate. Task-involving includes
stressing efort and improvement,
while ego-involving sends the
message that performance and
talent are what matters.
Te efects of these environ-
ments can have serious reper-
cussions on youth athletes, both
short-term and long-term.
A bad athletic experience can
give childrens overall self-conf-
dence a hit, Fry said. It can kill
the fun and decrease future par-
ticipation in exercise.
One might assume that these
results would only hold true for
developing and impressionable
younger athletes, but Fry says that
this isnt the case.
Recent research with college
athletes have had the same re-
sults, Fry said. Tey may be bet-
ter equipped to deal with it, but
its not necessarily a better envi-
ronment.
Iwasaki and Frys study has been
accepted for publication in the
applied-research magazine Te
Sport Psychologist and is set to
appear next spring.

Student Senate did not pass the
coalition resolution at last night's
meeting afer more than three
hours of debate.
Te resolution, which can be
viewed online at Kansan.com,
would have infuenced future
election reform.
Arguments for both sides were
varied and senators spent a lot of
time question-
ing the speakers
on their view-
points and the
facts they pre-
sented.
Marcus Tetwil-
er, student body
president, and
Tyler Childress,
chief of staf,
introduced the
resolution and advocated ending
coalitions in order to be more
inclusive and improve represen-
tation.
Finance Committee Chair Alec
Joyce spoke against the resolution
because he said he did not think
enough of the student body was
involved in the debate. He sug-
gested having senators table, at-
tend meetings and talk with stu-
dents about coalitions and, more
broadly, about election reform.
Hannah Sitz, a College of Lib-
eral Arts and Sciences senator,
spoke in favor of the resolution
and addressed Joyce's concerns
by sharing her
unofcial sur-
vey results. She
said 158 stu-
dents respond-
ed in 24 hours
a far larger
return than she
expected.
Sitz said the
results were
polarized, but
that she could not comment on
the validity of her survey, or on
how representative it was, be-
cause it was informal and meant
to gauge student feedback to help
her make a decision on the issue.
Mitchell Cota, a multicultural
afairs committee chair, spoke
against the resolution because he
said that without coalitions diver-
sity would be in jeopardy.
Cota referenced the variance in
Ad Astra as an example of how
coalitions can promote diversity,
and compared that to freshmen
elections which do not have
coalitions in which students
elected were mostly white greek
students.
"Coalitions are not the prob-
lem," Cota said.
In the second attempt to end
debate, senators called a vote and
a majority approved ending the
deliberation and voting on the
resolution.

Te Douglas County Sherifs
Ofce and the Lawrence Police
Department are participating in
the nationwide prescription drug
Take-Back Day this Saturday.
Te national event, which is coor-
dinated by the Drug Enforcement
Agency, will give people the oppor-
tunity to get rid of their expired,
unused or un-
wanted prescrip-
tion and over-
the-counter drugs
with no questions
asked.
Tis is the sev-
enth national
take-back day,
and Lawrence
Police Depart-
ment Sergeant
Trent McKinley
says the biannual
event continues to produce greater
results each year.
Its really been an overwhelm-
ing success, McKinley said. In
the spring we had over 300 people
come turn in 875 pounds, so its
clearly been a tremendously suc-
cessful program. You never know
what to expect, but certainly this
year were hoping to get similar if
not better results.
Te positive feedback to take-
back days in Douglas County led to
the creation of an ongoing disposal
program implemented in July. Te
program allows residents to drop
of medications at the Judicial and
Law Enforcement Center any busi-
ness day with full anonymity.
Take-Back Days national pop-
ularity has been growing as well.
In April 2013, more than 740,000
pounds of pre-
scription med-
ications were
collected by
the DEA a
50 percent in-
crease from
their previous
event.
Prescription
drug use has
become one of
the largest and
fastest-growing
drug problems in the country, ac-
cording to a 2012 study from Te
National Survey on Drug Use and
Health. Te study also found that
twice as many Americans regularly
abuse prescription drugs than co-
caine, hallucinogens, heroin and
inhalants combined.
Te study also found that more
than half of those abusing prescrip-
tion drugs get them from friends
or relatives, something Lieutenant
Steve Lewis of the Douglas County
Sherifs Ofce said take-back days
can help eliminate.
Its hard to say if its had a great
afect on reducing illegal use of
medications, but it for sure elimi-
nates the possibility of some peo-
ple obtaining them, Lewis said.
Whether it be teens around the
house, people visiting or an open
house, it eliminates people who
shouldnt be using them from just
grabbing them.
Te state of Kansas has seen rel-
ative success in curbing prescrip-
tion drug abuse, but it is still a
fast-growing problem. Kansas has
the eighth lowest drug overdose
mortality rate in the country, but
the number of those dying from
overdose has doubled since 1999,
according to a report from Trust
for Americas Health.
Lewis added that while they see
the events as successful, there
clearly is work still to be done.
Even if we dispose of hundreds
of pounds of these kinds of drugs,
we would still only be scratching
the surface of the problem, he said.
Tere will be two collection sites
available between 10 a.m. and 2
p.m. on Saturday at the short-term
parking lot of the Douglas Coun-
ty Courthouse, 1100 Massachu-
setts St., and the Lawrence Police
Department at 4820 Bob Billings
Parkway. Illegal drugs, inhalers,
injectables and needles will not be
accepted, and participants are ad-
vised to remove any identifying in-
formation from prescription labels.

Mandelas great-grandson to accept Dole Leadership Prize
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
Former South African President
Nelson Mandela once said, It al-
ways seems impossible until its
done. Tose words are central
to the inspiration the Robert J.
Dole Institute of Politics hopes to
achieve through the 10th annual
Dole Leadership Prize.
Tis years prize is to be award-
ed to the Nelson Mandela Centre
of Memory at the Nelson Man-
dela Foundation, and Mandelas
great-grandson, Luvuyo Mandela,
will accept the award and speak
about how Mandela changed the
world.
Te $25,000 prize is awarded
annually to someone who showed
leadership and made a signifcant
diference through public service.
My great-grandfather has
shown the world what you can
achieve with strength of charac-
ter, sincere dedication, openness
to collaboration and determi-
nation, Luvuyo said. He was
able to change South Africa and
the world for the better because
he was steadfast in his belief of
equality for all South Africans.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole
Institute, said it is an important
prize every year that rewards peo-
ple who are doing positive things
for the world, and is meant to in-
spire others.
Te one thing we stress with
everything we do here is that you
can make a diference, Lacy said.
We want students to feel empow-
ered to go out and try to do what
they think needs to be done.
Luvuyo said his great-grandfa-
ther can show students how any-
body is able to make an impact
and make their goals a reality, no
matter where they come from.
He added that, in his own life,
Mandelas story taught him the
infnite energy and drive gained
from following your passion.
It matters not whether you
come from a small rural village or
a large city, you can change your
world for the better, Luvuyo said.
Anyone can make a diference.
Te prize will be awarded on
Oct. 27 at 4 p.m. at the Dole In-
stitute.

Tere are a lot of Halloween
thrills around Lawrence this time
of year, but most arent as musi-
cal as Sweeney Todd: Te De-
mon Barber of Fleet Street. Tis
dark comedy will be playing from
Oct. 25 to Nov. 2 at the Lawrence
Arts Center, located at 940 New
Hampshire Street.
Te musical, like the success-
ful 2007 movie starring Johnny
Depp, tells the story of a venge-
ful barber who befriends a poor
owner of a pie store. Te two
work together to exact their re-
venge and start a macabre busi-
ness selling pies made of human
fesh.
Te show is a good portrayal of
what its supposed to be, which is
a metaphor for life where people
are eating people and everything
is gritty and gory, said costume
designer Stefani Day. Its excel-
lent to see because its bloody and
its gross but its fun.
Te Lawrence Arts Center chose
the show because its dark themes
work well with the Halloween
season. Director Ric Averill said
he hoped the show would draw
an audience for its Halloween
show at 9 p.m., in which the audi-
ence is encouraged to dress up in
their costumes.
Te macabre themes are per-
fect for the season, said Jill An-
derson, who portrays Mrs. Lovett
in the production. Its a horror
story thats infuenced a lot by Le
Grand Guignol theatre in Paris,
which is all about shock value
and special efects. Its like a Vic-
torian version of a slasher.
While the shows premise is
chilling, it isnt short on laughs.
Averill said the musical relies on
a strong regional cast to pull to-
gether the comical and horrifc
elements.
Te casts biggest strength is
that theyre musically strong,
Averill said. But we also have
strong actors with good relation-
ships that make you really care
about the characters. Tats what
you need for this show you
really need singers with levels
beyond musical theater, but you
also need strong actors to make it
work well.
Te show also isnt short on vi-
sual efects. According to Averill,
it will be just as gory as its pre-
decessors.
Im most excited for when we
drop bodies down the shoot,
Averill said. I love all the efects,
and thats why I embrace it. Im
not generally a big horror fan, but
I love the story and the music, so
I had to release my inner 13-year-
old boy and let the blood fow.
Tere are a lot of great efects,
so instead of going to a haunted
house, I think students should
come see the show.

ITS SUSTAINABILITY WEEK AT KU
Creating meals for thousands upon
thousands of students daily in 22
locations campus wide.
Tis is the charge of KU Dining
Services who, under the auspices
of the KU Memorial Unions, is
responsible for feeding the multitudes
at KU. With increasing focus on
sustainability-related issues and how
to make a diference in day-to-day
life, one of the widest reaching areas
is food. Asking, Where does it come
from? and How is it disposed of?
are key issues for our campus and
community.
KU Dining is quite mindful of its
role and how much of an impact ef-
fective sustainable practices play in its
operations and ultimately in campus
life. Given the number of students,
faculty, staf and visitors who dine on
campus daily, sustainability opportu-
nities abound, from recycling paper
cups, wrappers, bags, and plastic
bottles to repurposing post-consumer
food waste.
KU Dining Services has taken
a pro-active approach in reducing
waste and promoting sustainability
initiatives. Successful partnerships
with campus organizations, local
businesses and communities have
poised KU Dining Services as a leader
among peer institutions in this arena.
KU Dinings partners include KU
Center for Sustainability, Rock Chalk
Recycle, KU Biofuels Research, Daily
Bread, Pur-O-Zone, Coca-Cola, Sysco,
KC and Missouri Organics, to name
a few.
Since embarking on its sustainability
eforts, KU Dining has realized some
impressive results:
-In paitneiship with KU Recycling,
the following massive amounts are

CAMPUS
Emmy award-winner brings
Mark Twain act to Lied Center
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
Many University students have
probably heard of Mark Twain
perhaps some even read one of
his books in the past couple of
years. Whether Te Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn, Te Ad-
ventures of Tom Sawyer or an-
other one of his stories or essays
that were written over 100 years
ago, it was likely enough to get
an idea of his writing style. How-
ever, students now have the op-
portunity to see Hal Holbrook
perform his show Mark Twain
Tonight at the Lied Center on
Friday, Oct. 25.
For those who dont recognize
the name Hal Holbrook right
away, he is a multiple Emmy-win-
ner, and is best known outside
of Mark Twain Tonight for
his roles in blockbuster movies
such as Into the Wild, Men of
Honor, Wall Street and, most
recently, the biographical flm
Lincoln, which was directed by
Steven Spielberg. But these roles
came long afer he began charac-
ter acting onstage as Mark Twain.
Holbrook began performing
Mark Twain Tonight when he
was a college student in 1954.
Since then, he has achieved a
large amount of success and was
recognized by Te New York
Times as the undisputed mon-
arch of Mark Twain imperson-
ators in 2001, and was said to be
one of the biggest and most out-
standing acts that will be coming
to the Lied Center this school
year.
Tim Van Leer, executive direc-
tor of the Lied Center, said Hal
Holbrook has performed there in
previous years and was brought
back this year to celebrate its 20th
anniversary.
Its always an interesting eve-
ning because, you know, Hal
Holbrook doesnt step on to the
stageMark Twain does, Van
Leer said. So you get an oppor-
tunity to be a part of a presenta-
tion that Mark Twain would have
given throughout his lifetime.
Whats really fascinating about
the show is that what Mark Twain
talked about 100 or so years ago
is not very diferent from the
things that are going on in the
world now.
Aside from the show being a
representation of Mark Twains
personality and a tribute to his
career as a writer and thinker, it
also presents current afairs in an
untraditional manner. Van Leer
said this event is going to be one
of the most popular of the season,
and the box ofce has sold 1,500
tickets already.
I think the idea that he shares
thoughts on current afairs and
things that are relevant to the
country today are one of the rea-
sons to see the show, Van Leer
said. As he talks, there is a great
deal of humor. Tere are poi-
gnant moments throughout the
show.
Student tickets are half-priced
at $17-$22, and adult tickets are
$35-$44, according to the Lied
Center website. Te event begins
at 7:30 p.m.
Te KU Environs Club will be
hosting their second annual Potter
Lake Project beneft concert this
Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the
Potter Lake Dance Pavilion. Te
show will feature three local bands
Pink Royal, Rev Gusto and Of
the Bench and all proceeds will
help fund the Center for Sustain-
abilitys Replant Mount Oread
project. Te Center plans to plant
trees outside Staufer-Flint Hall in
Spring 2014.
Te Environs Club hopes this
beneft show will bring attention
and awareness to the beautiful
campus. Tey are encouraging
the usage and preservation of Pot-
ter Lake since the University is
fortunate enough to have such a
large green space. Tey also plan
on reinforcing the signifcance of
wildlife and explaining how Potter
Lake has not been properly main-
tained for decades.
Environs chose this organiza-
tion [Center for Sustainability]
because we are trying to educate
people about the importance of
green space on a college campus,
said Emma Donachie, preserva-
tion coordinator for the KU En-
virons.
Donachie and her committee
focus on preserving local ecosys-
tems, including places such as Pot-
ter Lake and the KU Field Station,
that are dedicated to environmen-
tal research and education.
Te concert will provide an en-
tertaining atmosphere while ed-
ucating attendees on the history
of Potter Lake, the current status
of the lake, and the reasons it has
been deprived of proper mainte-
nance.
Every $5 ticket will help educate
people on the historical signif-
icance of Potter Lake, and help
conserve the natural beauty of
the campus. If that isnt enticing
enough, a complimentary 2-for-1
Chipotle burrito card will be given
with all ticket purchases.

Tough many students may
groan with despair at the thought
of delving into the lines of a Shake-
spearean play, a University of Kan-
sas theatre professor believes that
performing Shakespeare can make
the words indispensable when-
their meaning is unlocked.
Paul Meier, a theatre professor
and Shakespeare scholar, recent-
ly released the 2013 edition of his
e-book, Voicing Shakespeare, a
comprehensive guide to under-
standing and connecting with
Shakespearean pieces in order to
perform them well. Te book cov-
ers breaking down the text to clar-
ify the meaning, voice and speech
lessons, and ways to use the body
while acting, among other topics.
Hailey Lapin is a senior from
Overland Park who has several of
Meiers classes, and worked with
Meier for a play she acted in during
her freshman year.
Pauls lessons revolutionized the
way I look at and work through the
text, Lapin said. I not only know
what the text is saying, but how I
can most efectively say it.
Bringing together his extensive
experience with acting and di-
recting Shakespeare, Meier lays
the groundwork to allow actors to
be successful with Shakespeares
works. Te e-book incorporates
video demonstrations and audio
recordings of the lessons, so read-
ers can hear and see the ways in
which the strategies
are implemented.
Most students ex-
perience with Shake-
speare comes from
the dull boredom
of an English class-
room, Meier said.
In fact, Meier said
that Shakespeares
works were never
intended to be read
as literature, they were meant to be
listened to, and it was the actors re-
sponsibility to give meaning to the
words in order to make them come
alive.
Te words are more than just
pretty poetry, said Meier; they
are words that the character needs
to say. If the actor can tap into the
characters deep need for words,
they can make the words their own
and make a 400-year-old language
sound fresh and new.
During her freshman year, Lapin
played a fairy in A Midsummer
Nights Dream, directed by Meier.
Te performance of that play cen-
tered around the incorporation of
original pro-
nunciation,
in which the
actors speak
the way they
did in Shake-
speares time.
Li ngui s t s
are able to
de t e r mi ne
what speech
must have
sounded like 400 years ago by
written descriptions of spoken lan-
guage and through the examina-
tion of the words in the play that
should rhyme, Meier said.
Original pronunciation kind of
sounds like pirate Irish speak, Lap-
in said.
Even though the words and way of
saying them are very diferent from
the students everyday language,
Meier tries to teach them to invest
in the language so they are able to
conjure up a feeling and time. Te
words then make more sense to the
audience.
Once the actor really connects
with the words, they can achieve
success with Shakespeare.
It is the biggest rush, the big-
gest high, Lapin said of the feel-
ing she got from understanding
and connecting with performing
Shakespeare. Teres still so much
we can learn about our own selves
from this text and the performance
of it.
CAMPUS
ACADEMIA
Sticks and stones may break
bones, but words can seep in and
kill the soul slowly. Even in daily
conversation, many students dont
realize how their word choices can
contribute to someone elses inner
battle.
Te Ofce of Multicultural Af-
fairs is raising awareness of global,
national and local persecution with
the Tunnel of Oppression, an in-
tensive, interactive multimedia ex-
perience. Tours last 30 minutes and
aim to tap into buried emotions
and address current issues.
Many students have personal ex-
periences that relate to the images,
said Ashley Tso, graduate assistant
and social justice programmer for
the OMA. Tey may think theyve
gotten over them, but this brings
out old feelings.
Te ofces, classrooms and re-
strooms in the Sabatini Multicul-
tural Resource Center have been
transformed to make room for
role-plays, slideshows, exhibits and
a gallery of real cases involving in-
dividuals deeply afected by each
type of oppression. Participants
witness sensitive topics including
dating violence, body image infu-
ences, hazing, homophobia, rac-
ism, sexism and anti-Semitism.
Te restroom mirrors are scrawled
with hurtful words. A door slams,
followed by yelling, symbolizing an
abusive relationship. Tese are just
two of the scenes that unfold in the
tunnel.
Its heavy because its so internal-
ized, so personal, and yet its shared
by so many others, said Mauricio
Gomez, a retention specialist with
the OMA.
According to hazingprevention.
org, 55 percent of college students
involved in on-campus clubs,
teams and organizations experi-
ence hazing. While
students may not be
directly afected, the
tunnel was created
to inform students
that it is prevalent in
the community.
I think sometimes
people want to ig-
nore it, Gomez said.
Some people have
the privilege of living their entire
life without knowing that this ex-
ists. So its heavy for some, espe-
cially for those seeing it for the frst
time.
During the tour, DaKie Wash-
ington, a sophomore from Man-
hattan, grieved the loss of his
friend who became a victim to
hateful words and committed sui-
cide. DaKie couldnt ignore the
loud, degrading music playing
as he walked through the gallery,
displaying the many lives lost to
oppression.
Te negative connotations and
words that they used in the type
of music was very difcult to lis-
ten to, Washington said. I dont
think people realize music like
that is still being made.
Every detail in the experience
is placed intentionally to involve
the senses.
Te situ-
ations are
true and
are based
on the col-
lege pop-
u l a t i o n ,
whether at
the Univer-
sity or oth-
er institutions.
For people who are resistant to
the ideas, come with a friend, said
Precious Porras, the associate di-
rector of the OMA. Tese things
are happening around you all the
time anyways. Were just bringing
them to light.
Afer the tour, participants have
the chance to process what they ex-
perience with trained professional
counselors like Gomez. In past
years, he said students have lef
with heavy hearts but the goal is to
spark conversations, peak interest
and increase awareness.
Once other people become
aware of what theyre actually say-
ing, campus becomes a more posi-
tive and inclusive community, Tso
said. We want people to no longer
feel like outsiders.
Te program has been present-
ed to the Universitys community
since 2001 and more than 600 par-
ticipants made their way through
the tunnel last spring. On Dec. 4,
the OMA will conduct a follow-up
discussion to reveal the emotions
that still linger with participants.
People just walk around like
these things are no big deal, but
go experience it, Washington said.
Once you get in the tunnel, youll
feel how real it is.
Tours in the Tunnel of Oppres-
sion begin every hour between 10
a.m. and 5 p.m. on Tursday and
Friday in the Sabatini Multicultur-
al Resource Center. Te tunnel will
also be available in the spring. Stu-
dents are encouraged to contact the
OMA at any time with questions or
to discuss concerns.

P
ardon me for not
getting wrapped up
in the narrative that
Oklahoma State is capable
of high stepping Kansas in
the Big 12 standings this
season, ending the run of
nine straight regular season
championships by Bill Self
and his teams.
Sophomore guard Marcus
Smart is undoubtedly great.
But dont forget that he still
couldnt lead his Cowboys
to anything but a third place
conference fnish last season
behind Kansas State.
Now, a year later, that same
team is supposed to win the
Big 12, or at least give the
Jayhawks a serious fght. It
doesnt sound preposterous
at frst. Marcus Smart is a
legitimate top-fve pick in
next summers NBA draf,
and last seasons top fve
scorers all return for the
Cowboys.
But we have seen this
before.
Missouri was supposed to
give Kansas fts a few years
ago before falling in line
behind the Jayhawks in the
fnal conference standings
just like Kansas State,
Texas and Oklahoma State
before them. Blindly picking
Self and Kansas is boring
and doesnt make for a good
preseason storyline.
Even more so, the last few
Jayhawk teams werent the
most intimidating Self has
trotted out in his career.
Tere were plenty of question
marks heading into the last
three seasons, yet they always
ended the regular season
ahead of everyone else before
grabbing a top seed in the
NCAA Tournament.
Now, with an experienced
point guard like Naadir
Tarpe, two potential top-10
NBA draf picks in Wayne
Selden and Joel Embiid,
as well as the clear-cut No.
1 draf pick in Andrew
Wiggins, we are supposed to
believe last years third place
team is a worthy competitor?
It is all potential,
Marcus Smart recently
told CBSSports.com of
the Andrew Wiggins hype
heading into this season. I
am not saying he cant do it.
But he has not done it yet.
Smart is right. Wiggins,
Selden, Embiid and the rest
of the Kansas recruiting class
havent accomplished any of
the things Smart has at the
college level.
But afer winning the Big
12 with players like Kevin
Young and Conner Teahan
in the rotation, excuse me
for dismissing the Oklahoma
State hype. I am not saying
Smart and the Cowboys cant
dethrone Kansas this season.
But they havent done it yet.

T
he hype about Andrew Wiggins
continued to grow at Tuesdays Big
12 Mens basketball media day. Te
anticipation for the season is nearly unprec-
edented.
Much of the excitement comes from inside
the university, which was seen at this years
Late Night in the Phog festivities, where
several thousand students and fans were
turned away because of how quickly Allen
Field House reached capacity.
Tat is the defnition of hype.
But theres another kind of hype surround-
ing this season, and it comes from outside
the University. Wiggins was universally
agreed upon for the top spot on ESPNs
top 100 last year. Before he announced his
decision to come to the University, people
were already referring to him as the next
Lebron James. Everyone who has an interest
in college basketball is eager to see how
Wiggins will perform this year.
It isnt only Wiggins, however. Most of
the Jayhawk team is brand new. Seven of
the 18 players are freshmen and most of
last years team is nearly as unproven. Last
years much-talked-about recruiting classes
included freshmen Wiggins,
Frank Mason, Wayne Selden
Jr., Brannen Greene, Joel
Embiid, Conner Fankamp
and transfers Tarik Black and
Hunter Mickelson.
Memphis transfer and senior
Tarik Black and sophomores
Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor
return with the most experi-
ence, which still isnt a lot.
All weve really done is
basically tell our guys theres
been some pretty good play-
ers here before you that have
proven their ability and how
they can impact a program,
and none of you guys have
even made a basket yet, coach Bill Self said
to the Kansas
City Star at
Tuesdays
event.
Only time
will tell how the
team performs
this year. It will no
doubt take some
time before this
team starts to really
gel and performs to
the very high expec-
tations that the media
and fans have bestowed
upon them.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
VOLLEYBALL
Jarmoc surpasses Reves for all-time career block leader
Last night, the Horejsi Athletic
Center was packed as fans came
to see the No. 22 Kansas Jayhawks
and to see history being made.
Senior middle blocker Caroline
Jarmoc recorded her ffh block of
the match during a third set loss.
Tis wasnt just any block. Tis was
the block that placed Jarmoc into
Kansas history. Afer the point,
Jarmoc didnt celebrate the point
more than normal, just a regular
pointer fnger that indicated shes
number one.
Jarmoc became the Jayhawks all-
time career block leader, but she
was not worried about the record.
She was worried about getting the
win.
I honestly couldnt even tell you
which block it was when I broke
the record, Jarmoc said. Indi-
vidual records are great and ev-
erything, but I always want to con-
tribute to the team.
Jarmoc has blocked hundreds of
balls over her four-year career, but
none were as special as number
515.
Jarmoc surpassed Amanda Reves
to have sole control of the Jay-
hawks career block record.
With the match on the line, Jar-
moc had two key blocks at the end
of game four to send the match to
a ffh game tiebreaker. Both of
those blocks symbolized the im-
portance of Jarmocs presence.
Jarmoc ended the game with a
team-high six blocks, but the Jay-
hawks lost in a tight game that
went down to the very last point.
Te Jayhawks (16-5, 6-2) lost 25-
22, 21-25, 22-25, 25-16, 13-15 to
Iowa State.
Jarmoc would rather take a W
tonight, but her record speaks vol-
ume of her efort over four years,
head coach Ray Bechard said. A
demanding position, the middle
blocker, and the efort it took out
of her. Im very proud of her.
Blocker wasnt the only role she
played. Jarmoc was a vocal leader
on the court and from the bench.
Every time Jarmoc substitutes out
of the game, she slams her hands
against a metal beam on the back
wall of the court. Jarmoc said she
makes voices to show support for
her teammates on the court.
It started during my redshirt
freshman season obviously, Jar-
moc said. I wanted to contrib-
ute any energy I could, and I was
standing at the end of the bench,
found the beam and made a lot of
noise. Tat kind of stuck with me
for those fve years.
Bechard thinks Jarmoc is a great
player that gives everything she
has.
Youre going to hear her voice
throughout, Bechard said. Shes
a confdent kid and she leads by
example.
Jarmoc, who was a part of the
frst-team All-American selection
last season, had to credit her his-
toric career to someone special.
Jarmocs parents were a big part
of her success, and the coaching
staf has had an afect on her ca-
reer as well, she said.
Being young and being taught to
grind stuf out, I was blessed with
amazing coaches, Jarmoc said.
Coach Bird, the middles coach,
she really pushed me until I was
really dead at times.
Jarmoc started her career as a
redshirt freshman, and has been
a leader on the team ever since. If
someone would have told her she
was going to lead Kansas in career
blocks she wouldnt have put it out
of the realm of possibility.
I would have said, lets see about
that. I still have a lot of time, Jar-
moc said.

Baylor has drawn a lot of comparisons to the 2011 Oklahoma State
squad featuring Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon, but thats a
little unfair to Baylor. Baylor has put up more points through six games
than any team in Big 12 history and is on pace for some historical,
gaudy numbers. Bryce Petty has already eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark
and has two of the best wideouts in the country in Antwan Goodley
and Tevin Reese. Aside from their air attack, they feature one of the
most elusive, powerful running backs in the game in Lache Seastrunk
who averages 9.2 yards per carry. Baylors speedy receivers and bulky
offensive line keep the defense on its heels regardless of the score.
Baylor averages 78 plays per game, but that number is skewed simply
because the game has been already out of hand in the rst quarter in
all but one of Baylors games. QUESTION MARKS
Will Baylor look better in their second road game? We are not quite sure if
the Kansas State game is an outlier or a blueprint of how to beat Baylor,
but there is a sample that they have struggled at least one game, so
theres hope. Also, can Kansas stop one aspect of their offense? Baylor is
unlike most high-tempo offenses in that it can run and pass the ball with
ease. If Kansas can limit one portion of Baylors offense then that should
be a victory in itself.
DEFENSE
Baylor has always had trouble with their defense, but this unit is
vastly improved from just one season ago. They are currently 11th in
the country in total defense and have three of the top ve tacklers in
the Big 12. Baylors defense will likely stack the box against Kansas,
which looks to slow down the clock in order to stie Baylors offensive
attack. Bryce Hager currently leads the Bears in total tackles with
52. The Bears lead the Big 12 in sacks.
Levi Norwood, Baylors punt and kickoff returner, has posted an 11.1 average on punt returns and a 16.3
average on kickoff returns. Their punter has been used sparingly, as has their kicking game, only attempting
eight eld goals so far on the season.
Head coach Art Briles is 3-0 all-time versus Kansas and Baylor is currently riding a 10-game winning streak.
This is Baylors second road game of the season. In its rst road game against Kansas State, Baylor saw its
season-low point output as they put up just 35 points, which is subpar for their offense.

This is Baylors second road game of the season. In its rst road game against Kansas State, Baylor saw its
season-low point output as they put up just 35 points, which is subpar for their offense.
AT A GLANCE
Art Briles is one of the best offensive gurus out there and has even drawn some interest from other schools
as he has shown he can run a plug-and-play system with multiple quarterbacks. Briles system can beat you
either way, but K-State showed that slowing Baylors running game worked to an extent, but you still have to
account for all facets. Briles will look to pass more, as he knows Kansas offense cant realistically keep up.
COACHING
Outside of Oregon, Alabama or Florida State, Baylor may be the hottest team in the country. On a 10-game
winning streak, it looks to beat Kansas with its feature matchup with Oklahoma. Not a whole lot is going to
halt Baylors run at this point unless you believe in miracles.
MOMENTUM
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
Baylor ends the game in the rst quarter, which is Kansas strong point
this season. A night game on the road could present some challenge,
but if Kansas can keep it interesting, thatll be enough to keep fans
happy before booking it at halftime.
Sophomore safety Isaiah Johnson tackles Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell during the Oct. 19 game at Memorial Stadium.
Kansas lost the game 34-19.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Charlie Weis said there were no potential pitfalls to the new offense
management system instituted before last weeks game. Kansas had one
of the worst passing outings in the history of football last week, passing
for only 16 yards. The passing game has been horric for Kansas and
without it, they cant win. The sad thing is that the problem is not easily
remedied. Bad route running, catching, quarterback play and a shaky
offensive line are all factors that contribute to this problem. All of those
problems were identied by Weis not exactly a quick x there.
The defense played well last week, especially considering the absence
of Ben Heeney. But Oklahoma has a good offense while Baylor has a
great offense. Averaging 64.7 points per game this season, Baylor
is a force that cant be stopped, and one defenses can only hope to
contain. And if the offense gets three-and-out crazy like it has on
numerous occasions this season, the contest could get ugly.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The special teams unit had one of its worst outings of the year last week, and an Oklahoma punt block-turned-
safety was the rst domino to fall in a game that entirely ipped the switch on the momentum. Trevor Pardula
didnt punt well last week, and when that happens, Kansas is without its best weapon.
Montell Cozart. The freshman quarterback took his rst snaps as a Jayhawk last week and Weis made it
clear that Cozart will be a part of many gameplans going forward. Cozart is likely to be played at least
once or twice in the rst half if Kansas can keep the game manageable. But if Baylor begins to make the
Jayhawks play to its fast pace, Cozart may be the only answer if Heaps cant get the passing game in order.
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks have shown they can compete. Theyve held two of three Big 12 opponents to a scoreless rst
quarter. That has to mean something regarding the development of the program, and if Kansas can keep the
game manageable headed into the locker room after the rst half, thats a huge victory. The test for Kansas in
that situationwhich isnt exactly unlikelyis to see if it can actually make halftime adjustments and not let
the game go in the third quarter like Kansas has shown it likes to do.
BABY JAY CHEERS IF
Kansas can accrue more than 150 passing yards. If Kansas doesnt win this game, the next best victory is to see
an improvement in the passing game, because without it, a Big 12 win this season is unlikely. Kansas dominat-
ed Oklahoma with the run in the rst half of last weeks game, but it can only go for so long until the opponent
gures it out. If Kansas can just prove that it can complement the run game, Baby Jay can still keep her hope.
QUESTION MARKS
Can the defense be blind to the momentum of the game? In past games, its
been evident that when the offense falls off, the defense is next to follow. But
its not exactly the defenses fault. Weis and crew cant expect any unit to be on
the eld that much (especially against Baylor, the fastest paced offense in the
league). The offense is a question mark for each week, and until any of the nu-
merous passing game problems are resolved, it will continue to cripple Kansas.

Te much-needed victory on Sun-
day means the Kansas soccer team
(6-8-2, 1-3-1) is in better shape go-
ing into the fnal two weeks of the
regular season. Now nestled in the
middle of the Big 12 standings afer
earning its frst conference victory,
the team looks to continue the suc-
cess against Texas Tech and Okla-
homa State this weekend.
Te Jayhawks are now in sixth
place out of nine teams in the Big
12 afer ending a six-game losing
streak and a scoreless streak lasting
over 400 minutes of play.
It has put us in a situation with
three games lef where we still have
lots to play for, coach Mark Francis
said. I think the league right now
is really close, so if we can take care
of business in some of these games
coming up, we can put ourselves in
position to move up the league.
Tey start by facing a tough Tex-
as Tech team in Lubbock, Texas,
on Friday. Te Red Raiders are in
third place in the league and have
won or tied their last 12 games.
Tey are 3-0-2 in the Big 12 and
13-1-2 overall.
Te Red Raiders have the ability
to score lots of goals. Tey have
38 on the season, with 14 diferent
players scoring at least once. On
Oct. 6 against Arkansas-Pine Bluf,
the Texas Tech ofense scored eight
goals in the match.
Te Jayhawks second opponent
this weekend has a smaller ofen-
sive prowess. Te scoring burden
for Oklahoma State falls mainly
on one player: freshman forward
Courtney Dike, who has 11 of the
teams 23 goals.
Te Oklahoma State Cowgirls (6-
3-6, 1-1-3) have a knack for tying
their opponents and playing long
games. In their current fve-game
winning streak, they have gone
into overtime in four instances and
played to three draws.
Francis said the Jayhawks match
up well with both opponents and
both are good teams. He said it will
come down to executing like they
did on Sunday against Baylor. He
also said the key on Sunday was
being more efcient all-around, in-
cluding crosses and fnishing scor-
ing opportunities.
Senior forward Caroline Kastor
broke the team scoring drought by
scoring both goals in the 2-0 victo-
ry on Sunday.
It was big not only timing wise
but also just because we had a scor-
ing drought, so obviously winning
was nice, Kastor said. Tere was
just a lot of enthusiasm afer that.
Te tight race in the Big 12 has
postseason implications for the
Jayhawks. Te last fve teams in the
standings, including Kansas, have
one win each. Te top eight teams
can compete at the Big 12 Cham-
pionship, which is in Kansas City,
Kan., for the frst time afer being
held in San Antonio the last 16
years.
At this point, our last three games
all need to be wins, Kastor said. I
think that nows the time to do that,
and Im confdent about where the
team is at and how were playing.
Kansas will face both opponents
on the road. Te Jayhawks will play
Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Friday and
Oklahoma State at 12 p.m. Sunday.
FOOTBALL
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
Te Baylor Bears come to Law-
rence on Saturday with an unde-
feated 6-0 record and a Top 10
ranking that at times can be a bit
overwhelming for Kansas players
to prepare for.
But there is one thing that gives
the Jayhawks some confdence
against the top team in the Big 12: a
home-feld advantage
Teyre coming into Lawrence,
so thats something were excited
about, linebacker Jake Long said.
Te only road game that Baylor
has played this season was a 35-
25 victory in Manhattan against
the 2-4 Wildcats. Kansas State had
a lead going into the fourth quar-
ter of the game before two touch-
downs sealed a Baylor win.
On Tuesday, Charlie Weis said
that Baylor quarterback Bryce
Petty calls the plays at the line of
scrimmage, and if the crowd is loud
enough it would make that more
difcult.
But it takes a lot more than noise
to stop the Baylor ofense.
Te Bears have the most success-
ful ofense in college football up to
this point, with an average of just
under 65 points per game this sea-
son.
Petty is the latest in a long line of
talented quarterbacks to play for
Baylor coach Art Briles. Two sea-
sons ago, Robert Grifn III won
the Heisman trophy as Baylors
quarterback, and last seasons start-
er Nick Florence broke eight school
records.
Briles knows what reasonable ex-
pectations should be for a talented
quarterback, and at Big 12 media
day before the season began Briles
had some incredibly high expecta-
tions for Petty.
Te frst thing that popped into
my mind is break every Baylor re-
cord there is ofensively, which is
what we expect him to do and what
he plans to do, Briles said of Petty.
His expectations are to win every
game and be the best quarterback
in the United States of America.
Petty has followed those expec-
tations by completing over 70
percent of his passes, throwing
for 2,023 yards in six games with
15 touchdowns and his passer ef-
ciency rating is the best in the na-
tion. And, of course, the Bears have
won every game.
Baylor running back Lache
Seastrunk predicted he would win
the Heisman this season, but he
also had high praise for Petty.
Ive seen good, but Bryce Petty is
great, Seastrunk said at Big 12 me-
dia day. You dont understand
this guy can throw the ball 80 yards
downfeld with no hesitation.
But when Jake Love was asked
which aspect of the Baylor ofense
was more dangerous, he said all of
their skill position players are dan-
gerous.
Baylor is third in the nation in
passing yards and seventh in rush-
ing yards, and they spread the feld
horizontally from sideline to side-
line, forcing the defense to do the
same.
Weis said Baylors ofensive bal-
ance is its strength.
If you load up the box, theyll
throw it on every down. If you
dont cover the box, theyll run it
on every down, Weis said. Tey
can do both. Whatever you want to
do, theyll gladly do the opposite.

For the third straight tourna-
ment, freshman Chase Hanna
led the Kan-
sas mens golf
team in scoring,
shooting a fnal
round 70 (-1) to
bring his three-
round total to
217 (+4), plac-
ing him in a tie
for 13th place at
the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate.
Te team, which came in ninth
place out of the 17-team feld, fn-
ished the tournament Tuesday with
a total score of 887 (+35).
Sophomore Jackson Foth record-
ed the teams second best three-
round total,
fnishing in a tie
for 31st with a
222 (+9). Play-
ing in his frst
tournament as a
Jayhawk, soph-
omore Connor
Peck fnished
tied for 42nd
with his fellow sophomore team-
mate Ben Welle. Te two both
fnished with a fnal score of 224
(+11). Rounding out the fve-man
squad, junior Logan Philley ended
the tournament with a 235 (+22)
total, which placed him in a tie for
82nd overall.
Although head
coach Jamie
Bermel felt the
team could have
posted a better
total score, he
found promise
in their devel-
opment over
the course of the three rounds. Te
team carded their best round of the
tournament on the last day with a
292 (+8).
I think we can do much better
than what we showed this week,
Bermel said. But, [there was]
i mprovement
from frst round
to second and
second round to
third, so thats a
positive.
According to
Bermel, while
the teams scores
improved over
the span of the tournament, there
was a consistent problem that hurt
them in all three rounds: the teams
inability to fnish strong.
Te main problem was that we
were in pretty good position in all
three rounds with about six holes
to go and, for
whatever rea-
son, we couldnt
quite get it fn-
ished, Bermel
said.
Bermel hopes
the problem
will be resolved
by the time the
team hits the course on Oct. 25-26
for the Prices Give Em Five Invi-
tational in El Paso, Texas. Because
this tournament will be the last
one of the fall for the mens team,
they are looking to give themselves
something to feel good about going
into the break from competition
over the winter.
Hopefully we can have a good
fnish so we can go into winter
workouts with a positive attitude
and a little confdence, Bermel
said.

Athletes cant hide from negativi-
ty, thanks to social media
Only 72 hours afer the loss to
Texas Tech, Kansas linebacker Ben
Heeney had already moved on.
Heeney posted a photo of him-
self on Instagram celebrating his
second interception of the season
against Texas Tech with the caption
reading, 2nd INT of the year. Man
I love this game. It
didnt take long for
a fan to comment
on the photo and
remind him of the
54-16 loss against
the Red Raiders.
Heeney simply de-
leted the comment,
but he still remem-
bers what it said.
Obviously they
wanted me to see the comment,
Heeney said. I tried to just brush
it of.
Heeney said he reads what peo-
ple say online and is not oblivious
to how people talk about him and
the rest of team. Although coach
Charlie Weis advises the players
to ignore the comments, some just
cant help themselves.
Heeney is not the only player to
endure online criticism. Afer a
23-20 loss to Seattle in Week 4, the
attacks on Houston Texans quar-
terback Matt Schaub were unre-
lenting.
Te defeat infuriated Texans fans,
who are disappointed with the
team this year. Te most extreme
incident, reported by Sports Illus-
trated, included a Texans fan who
burned Schaubs jersey in Reliant
Stadiums parking lot. Te event
was brought to Schaubs attention,
and he deleted his Twitter account
soon afer hearing the news.
Mike Meltser, who covers the
Texans for Sports Radio 610 in
Houston, said shutting down an ac-
count doesnt
have to be the
solution when
it comes to
getting away
from negativ-
ity.
I think the
best thing to
do in these
types of sit-
uations is to
respond to an argument or criti-
cism by ofering an olive branch,
Meltser said. Take it a step, or two,
down. I think there is a natural ten-
dency to come to an agreement or
understanding. I think its an ex-
ample of how people behind key-
boards get a lot more courage than
they would in person.
Schaubs case is very similar to
Chiefs lef tackle Branden Alberts
situation this past summer. Albert
heard speculation from fans and
the media about possibly moving to
right tackle afer the Chiefs drafed
ofensive tackle Eric Fisher. Upon
hearing the news, Albert erased his
Twitter account to prevent being
exposed to the rumors.
Now that athletes are on Twit-
ter, fans take that opportunity to
troll them, Meltser said. Te hard
thing about Twitter, its like youre
in a house and you know someone
is whispering about you in the oth-
er room.
Running back James Sims, who
is active online, said he does not
hear a lot from fans on social me-
dia. Tanks to Twitters privacy
settings, Sims decided to protect
his tweets, meaning only those he
approves can follow and interact
with him.
Kansas Director of Football Com-
munications Katy Lonergan said
the staf works together to keep an
eye on what players tweet.
Former Kansas basketball player
Wayne Simien never had to wor-
ry about Twitter because it didnt
exist when he played. Simien said
the popularity of the site is a sign of
times and the continual advance of
technology. Like many, he is aware
of the actions that take place on
Twitter and suggests that fans and
athletes can fnd a more positive
way to use it.
I think it can be used as a great
tool for communication, relation-
ships and information, Simien
said. Hopefully people would be
able to use it for the good it pro-
vides and not abuse it.
