@KansanOpinion its a great way to

With headlines like Local
Bar, Te Hawk, to Raise Teir
Drinking Age to 21 and New
Drug Touted as An Airplane
Mode, but for Feelings, its
not hard to see that Nowhere
News, an online newspaper
based out of Lawrence, is satir-
ical. Te publication went live
on Aug. 8 of this year.
I feel like Lawrence kind
of brings the best out of peo-
ple with the art scene and
the comedy scene, and I kind
of wanted to put my foot in
there, said Jake Frondorf, a
senior from Hutchinson and
head editor and creator of the
publication.
Frondorf has done all of the
marketing and web design,
and has created a large amount
of the websites content.
I think Nowhere News can
work as a channel for positive
change in the community. I
think satire is a really good
way to change someones per-
spective without forcing an
idea down their throat, Fron-
dorf said.
But Frondorf doesnt work
alone. A large portion of his
staf is made up of Univer-
sity students and alumni.
Sam Lamb, a graduate from
Hutchinson, is the managing
editor; Jarod Kilgore, a grad-
uate from Lenexa, is a writer;
and Mitch Montague, a senior
from Topeka, is a writer and
video editor. In the future,
they hope to share the work-
load. Frondorf said that as of
now he has 20 people on staf
as contributors.
Frondorf said that the biggest
part of applying to be a con-
tributor is generating headline
ideas. If you can come up
with funny headlines, youll
probably be a funny writer,
Frondorf said.
If students dont want to be-
come writers or even contribu-
tors, Nowhere News still wants
their input. Students can send
headline, video and other con-
tent ideas to Nowhere News
even if they have no interest in
becoming a writer.
A common question readers
may have is simply, why the
name Nowhere News?
It is named afer the news-
paper in Courage the Cow-
ardly Dog, Frondorf said.
Tey live in Nowhere, Kan-
sas, and I thought Nowhere
News is an evocative name.
Tat describes Kansas very
well.
As Nowhere News grows,
Frondorf and his team hope to
make a positive impact on the
Lawrence and KU communi-
ty. Its the kind of thing that
brings Lawrence together,
Frondorf said. I want to give
back to Lawrence.

For scholarship hall
students, Hawk Week isnt
just about Night on the Hill.
Te weekend of move-in day
through the following week
is also the Scholarship Hall
Olympics.
On Aug. 22, all 12 scholar-
ship halls afliated with the
University of Kansas began
their frst olympic event, a
game of assassins, around
midnight.
Nicole Wilburn, the
Scholarship Hall Complex
Director said the events act
to bond the scholarship
hall students together, who
include returning students as
well as new students.
It helps students unite for
one cause and talk about
their strengths and weak-
nesses, Wilburn said.
Te olympics continue
through Sept. 5 and include
a variety of options such
as sports activities, video
games, cooking and more.
Dakota Boyd, a freshman
from Overland Park, partic-
ipated in some of the events
including 3-on-3 basketball,
sand volleyball and assassins,
to get involved with his hall,
Grace Pearson.
I came to KU to be
involved and its something
I regret that I wasnt in high
school. So I decided Ill do
as many things as I possibly
can, Boyd said.
However, the olympic
events are only available to
the scholarship hall students,
with each hall putting out a
team for every event. In the
end, one womens hall and
one mens hall are crowned
as winners.
Lizzie Cox, a sophomore
from Mankato, said the
events are a great way to get
to know everyone in her
hall, Margaret Amini, and
in other scholarship halls as
well. She said its a nice way
to meet new people, see old
friends and bond with the
people in her hall.
But while the olympics
bond the scholarship halls
together, the residence hall
students are completely
absent from this experience.
Students in residence halls
do not have these kinds of
events and do not participate
in the scholarship hall olym-
pics. When asked, very few
students who lived in resi-
dence halls knew about the
scholarship hall olympics.
We kind of feel, in that
sense, a little disconnected
from them. We dont really
interact much with the [resi-
dence] halls but we all pretty
much know each other in the
[scholarship] hall commu-
nity, said Carmen Ortiz,
a sophomore from Kansas
City, Kan.
Boyd said he thinks the ex-
clusive events make for a less
hectic bonding experience
for the scholarship halls.
I mean, imagine if theres
24,000 people on campus
and if even half of them
wanted to play, thats 12,000
people wanting to play bas-
ketball on one little court,
Boyd said.
Ortiz also said that com-
bining groups would be
problematic and overwhelm-
ing because so many students
live in the residence halls.
Joe Sodergren, a freshman
from Topeka, currently lives
in Ellsworth. He said events
like the olympics could open
a door to getting to know
a variety of peers better if
the event were open to both
scholarship and residence
hall students.
However, Ortiz said the
integration of groups would
be a difcult task.
Its kind of like they have
their own thing and we do
our own thing, Ortiz said.
Its just the reality of the
situation.

Sin City remains one
of the best achievements
of a flm truly looking and
feeling like a comic book,
with violence so extreme
it can get cartoony, highly
animated sets and a
stylized black and white
palette punched up with
occasional splashes of
color. Tose elements are
still the same, but in the
nine years it took for the
sequel to come to life, the
mojo that made the frst so
potent seems to have been
lost.
While many of the
original players return for
this second set of violent
and gritty tales maxing out
on flm noir indulgences,
the problems with Sin
City: A Dame to Kill For
begin with the wicked
cool Clive Owen not
reprising his role of bad
boy Dwight. Instead, Josh
Brolin flls in with a hard-
headed, uncharismatic
performance that lacks the
slickness, which made the
character such a badass in
the frst place.
Te other Frank Miller
sequel this year, 300: Rise
of an Empire, also faced
the issue of an unengaging
lead. Both flms helped
balance this out with
a delicious villainess
performance from former
Bond woman Eva Green.
As the titular dame,
shes a femme fatale with
dastardly plans, embroiling
Dwight in a classic flm
noir setup that escalates
with growing violence.
Green is a powerful fgure,
who clearly has the most
fun in the cast as she
manipulates men and
shows of her body.
Like the frst flm, this
Sin City is made up
of three full stories and
a short one to open it,
each focused on diferent
characters some of
whom overlap in the other
narratives. Tis worked
extremely well when the
segments were of about
equal length and each act
of the flm was a full story.
Here the pacing lacks such
momentum, as A Dame
to Kill For takes about
an hour of the runtime
and is only sometimes
entertaining, although
always visually interesting.
Its big fnale disappoints
too with the action feeling
slapped together and a
weak conclusion, further
proof co-director Robert
Rodriguez has lost his
whiz-bang master touch.
Te opening with Marv
(Mickey Rourke), the
hulking killer who leaves
a swath of destruction
wherever he goes, proves
a fun way to give the
fan favorite his due.
Troughout the rest of the
movie he only sporadically
shows up for a few
quips to fght and to kill
henchmen with the other
main characters, much of
that violence being lazily
executed.
Te most successful,
tightly wound and least
over-the-top segment
fnds Johnny (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt), a cocky
gambler who never loses,
challenging the most
powerful and corrupt
man in the city, Senator
Roark (Powers Boothe),
in a game of poker. Afer
winning, he has to face
Roarks vindictive and
nasty backlash, while his
brazen integrity keeps him
pushing back. Gordon-
Levitt elevates everything
hes in, and the David and
Goliath angle makes this a
satisfying investment.
Te fnal story starts
strong but, unsurprisingly,
ends with a hollow assault
of revenge against lots of
bad guys. Nancy (Jessica
Alba), Sin Citys favorite
stripper who Hartigan
(Bruce Willis) saved in
the frst flm, has become
a drunk and obsesses
over avenging Hartigan
by killing Roark. Te dark
places this one goes at frst,
as Nancy crawls into her
own deteriorating psyche
and argues with Ghost
Willis, prove dramatically
captivating and poignant.
But then Miller decided to
throw that away with a silly
(and inefectual) action
sequence that totally
contradicts the Sin City
timeline.
Tere are still things
worth seeing in this messy
city and stories worth
telling, but altogether,
they just add up to a
disappointing return to a
place where youve already
experienced the best parts.

RECRUIT FROM PAGE 1
New Sin City
sports style
but little punch
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
Long said.
Madison Tubbs, a freshman
from Colby, participated
in recruitment this fall and
although she didnt connect
with every sorority, she made
lasting friendships.
Just because I didnt join a
sorority doesnt mean that I
cant be friends with the girls
that I connected with, Tubbs
said.
Tubbs was ofered a bid and
declined but said she is glad she
experienced it.
I think that its a good
opener into the year because
you have to be able to make
conversation with people,
Tubbs said. It helps you with
answering questions that
people are going to ask you a
lot over the next three or four
weeks or even probably your
whole college career.
feel like were isolated from
this, but... this is very much a
real part of peoples lives and I
think sometimes we dont like
to have difcult conversations,
Kaminski said. I also think it
was important that everyone
got to speak and express their
feelings about it. Tats why I
made it more open.
Students like Austin Fisher,
a senior from Lawrence, have
been getting involved in the
Ferguson story through other
protests as well. Fisher helped
organize a small protest on
Aug. 17, where attendees used
the human microphone, a
protest tactic used in Occupy
Wall Street in which the
audience repeats parts of a
speakers speech for greater
emphasis.
I thought that there was a
lot of victim blaming going on,
and I thought there were a lot
of statements being made that
were distracting from the real
issue, Fisher said.
Fisher said the Aug. 17
protest was not limited to the
killing of Michael Brown but
also included police actions
following including the release
of Ofcer Darren Wilsons
name, the footage of what
happened and the treatment
of journalists and peaceful
protesters.
Te injustice wasnt just
limited to the death of Michael
Brown and the point of the
protest wasnt just limited to
the death of Michael Brown,
Fisher said. Te point of the
protests was to tell people,
hey, this is a national issue.
Tis issue has been a problem
for the 400-year history of this
country.

SUPPORT FROM PAGE 1
L
ets start by looking
at the schedule. Te
Jayhawks have at least
seven winnable games against
Southeast Missouri State,
Central Michigan, Texas,
West Virginia, Oklahoma
State, Iowa State and Texas
Christian University. All
of those games are home
games, besides playing in
Morgantown, W. Va., on
Oct. 4. Kansas defeated West
Virginia last year to break a
27-game Big 12 Conference
losing streak and should be
able to do so again on the
road.
Te overall strength of
this team will lie with its
defense. Isaiah Johnson, the
reigning Big 12 Defensive
Newcomer of the Year, leads
a talented secondary that
forced nine interceptions last
year. With a full ofseason of
conditioning and practice,
those numbers should only
improve.
Te entire defense
is anchored by senior
linebacker Ben Heeney, who
is serving as one of three
captains for the Jayhawks.
Heeney should be in line
for a monster season afer
leading the Kansas defense
in tackles over the past two
seasons. Heeney makes the
players around him better
and should strongly contend
for All-American honors in
his fnal season.
On the other side of the
ball, however, there are
more question marks. Te
aforementioned season-
ending injuries to Brandon
Bourbon and Taylor Cox
have lef the running back
cupboard incredibly bare.
Tis leaves the door open
for talented newcomers
DeAndre Mann and Corey
Avery to make their marks
on the season. Mann, a
junior-college transfer from
Hartnell College, and Avery,
a freshman from Dallas,
both have outstanding
athleticism and can combine
to replace the monumental
production lef behind by
former running back James
Sims.
Te running back position
can be further bolstered by
the possibility of Heeney
getting some carries.
Id love to play both
ways, Heeney said at
last Wednesdays press
conference. I always
thought I was going to play
running back in college
instead of defense, so if they
need me, Im on call.
Te quarterback position
should be much improved
this season. Montell Cozart,
a sophomore from Kansas
City, Mo., is a much more
dynamic player than Dayne
Crist or Jake Heaps ever
were. He can beat defenses
as a runner and as a passer,
and should be a great ft for
new ofensive coordinator
John Reagans scheme. He
also has great weapons
at wide receiver in senior
Nick Harwell and junior
Rodriguez Coleman, as well
as senior tight end Jimmay
Mundine whos on the watch
list for the Mackey Award,
which goes to the best tight
end in the nation.
All of these factors should
contribute to a good season
for the Jayhawks. Kansas
probably will not go to a
bowl game, but it should be
competitive in every game
and have a chance to win
at least fve games, which is
more than the three games
the Jayhawks won last
season.
