With the general election less

than a month away in a tight

gubernatorial race, both Paul
Davis and Sam Brownback are
ramping up eforts to pursue
voters. But neither candidate
appears to be making a sig-
nifcant efort to reach college
students.
Its almost like were not im-
portant enough to make it on
their list, and I think thats a
problem, said Morgan An-
derson, a sophomore from
Goddard and president of the
College Republicans at KU.
But they also have to look at
targeting of who their likely
voters are.
Campaigns continue to dis-
tribute information through
traditional outlets such as
TV advertising and mailing
brochures and newsletters
that do not reach many stu-
dents. Anderson said students
are more likely to participate in
politics through social media.
Sometimes campaigns re-
spond to social media against
a certain issue or against a par-
ticular thing thats going on in
the world, Anderson said. But
I think a lot of times, with some
of the old school tactics of con-
tacting your congressman, or
even a phone call, students
just dont have the time. Its not
what students do.
Chris Pumpelly, spokesman
for the Davis-Docking cam-
paign, said social media is a
useful tool for reaching stu-
dents and other audiences,
but the primary function is to
amplify messages to a general
audience. He said the concerns
of students are typically con-
sistent with the concerns of all
Kansans.
Because students are ofen
frst-time voters, they can be
difcult to assess and motivate.
Burdett Loomis, a professor in
the political science depart-
ment, said he believes the stu-
dent vote typically hasnt made
a diference.
Te student vote is like the
great white whale you know
its out there, but its rarely seen,
Loomis said. And you wonder,
no matter what you did, could
you get it to show up?
Loomis said he believes stu-
dents are generally disengaged
from the political process.
While some are turned of by
the political system, others are
merely uninformed or dont
know the necessary steps to
register and vote.
Loomis holds the state partial-
ly responsible for low student
turnout because of its treat-
ment of young voters. It can be
difcult for students to register
because the state requires proof
of citizenship when voters reg-
ister for the frst time.
Te state has always treat-
ed students as stepchildren,
Loomis said. Vote back in
your district, and stuf like that.
I think even most Lawrence
residents arent too crazy about
having students vote in their
district.
Despite the traditionally low
turnout, students like Natalie
Parker, director of communi-
cations for the Future Majority,
have attempted to increase the
student vote with on-campus
eforts. Numerous campus
groups including the Future
Majority, College Republicans,
Young Democrats, Student
Senate and the Dole Institute
of Politics have worked togeth-
er to hold a voter registration
drive that began Sept. 30 and
will continue through Oct. 7.
Every vote counts equally, but
it can be difcult for individ-
ual students to see the impact
of their participation. Brittany
Bodenheimer, a sophomore
from Topeka and president of
Young Democrats, said this is
an issue in student voting.
I think a lot of students as-
sume that their vote doesnt
matter, and that attempting
change is useless, Boden-
heimer said.
In addition to apathy, many
students dont vote because of
barriers with registration. Oth-
ers have trouble with absentee
voting. Finding information
and resources in college can be
difcult even as a Kansas na-
tive, Bodenheimer said.
Knowing how to register,
where to vote and when, are all
questions that were asked that
can sometimes lead to simple
disengagement from the pro-
cess, Bodenheimer said.
Te SAFE Act enacted in
January 2013 requires Kan-
sans to show proof of citizen-
ship upon registering to vote.
Tis can be a challenge for stu-
dents living away from home,
who may not have these docu-
ments readily available.
Students registered outside
of Douglas County tend to be
disengaged from issues in their
hometowns and struggle to stay
informed.
I think a lot of people kind of
forget about voting when they
go of to school unless they
switch their voter registration
to where they attend school,
Anderson said. I think its re-
ally difcult for students to feel
like they have a voice in the po-
litical process.
With multiple barriers to
voting and consistently low
turnout among this unproven
populace, Loomis said neither
party is confdent enough in
a positive outcome to invest
heavily in the student vote.
With both Republicans and
even Democrats, if you look
them in the eye youll fnd they
have better places to increase
their turnouts, Loomis said.

IT department provides tips for online security
CHANDLER BOESE
@ChandlerBoese
With wireless Internet pro-
vided all over campus and
multiple devices simultane-
ously connected to the Inter-
net, many students take being
plugged in for granted.
Tis month, National Cyber
Security Awareness Month,
provides an opportunity for
students to learn about the
dangers of the web and how
to be proactive in protecting
themselves.
Te Universitys IT depart-
ment proactively monitors
security risks, and most issues
are taken care of before they
impact students, said David
Day, IT director of External
Afairs. For this reason, there
arent specifc numbers of how
many security problems are
prevented by the IT security
ofce. Even though security
risks are monitored, Day said
students should still take pre-
ventative measures.
Sarah Wages, a freshman
from Lake of the Ozarks, Mo.,
said she doesnt know or un-
derstand how exactly to take
such measures.
Sharing specifc security
problems is not possible be-
cause of privacy, but Day said
there is one frequent online
issue.
When a hacker wants to get
personal information, he or
she will ofen do something
called phishing. Basically,
they trick their target into giv-
ing up important information
by masking websites as prize
giveaways or fake websites.
One fairly common tech-
nique is emails that look like
they come from a bank or oth-
er fnancial institution, asking
you to click on a link and log
into your account, Day said.
Tat should always raise red
fags.
Day said students can deal
with possible phishing emails
by calling the bank to see if it
sent the email or simply going
to the institutions website di-
rectly and logging in through
it, rather than a link provided.
Te challenge with students
is that security problems can
be related to their KU accounts
or their personal accounts,
Day said.
KU IT devotes most of its
time to dealing with issues on
University accounts, Day said,
so its up to students who use
multiple personal devices and
accounts to take preventative
measures to protect them-
selves.
Pennie Liu, a sophomore
from St. Louis, Mo., said she
takes a few measures to protect
herself online. If a website asks
for her email, she gives a fake
account, so they can send her
spam emails but not get her
personal information.
Watching email accounts for
suspicious emails is important,
but there are more ways that
students can protect them-
selves online. Day said it is
important to always be aware
of what you are doing online
and what information you are
providing.
By default, share with
friends only, said Rob Arnold,
the Universitys IT security of-
fcer. Carefully consider what
you share widely. Dont make
it easier on the thief.
Its also important for stu-
dents to consider what pass-
words they use for online ac-
counts. Both Day and Arnold
advise against reusing pass-
For same-sex couples in 11
states, including Kansas, Mon-
day morning was a life-chang-
ing day.
Monday morning, the U.S.
Supreme Court denied to hear
cases on same-sex marriage
bans that involved Oklahoma,
Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and
Indiana. Te denial marked an-
other victory for same-sex mar-
riage advocates in those fve
states, whose bans on same-sex
marriage were struck down by
federal appeals courts earlier
this year.
What does this mean for Kan-
sas? According to www.free-
domtomarry.org, Kansas is part
of the 10th Circuit Court of
Appeals along with Oklahoma
and Utah, both of which have
legalized same-sex marriage.
Sharing the same circuit court
with two states where same-
sex marriage is legal has many
thinking Kansas will soon fol-
low suit. Te website also re-
ports that same-sex couples in
Kansas have already applied for
marriage licenses afer the news
of the Supreme Courts refusal
broke this morning, but they
were denied due to its currently
being illegal.
News of the courts denial
is particularly important for
LGBTQ students at the Uni-
versity. Jake McMillian, a third-
year law student from Kansas
City, Kan., got the news from
a friend who works on Capitol
Hill about an hour before the
news went public. McMillian
was sitting on his couch when
he got the call.
McMillian was initially disap-
pointed at the courts denial to
hear the cases. McMillian said
he feels same-sex marriage is
an important enough issue that
requires the immediate ruling
of the court. Despite his initial
disappointment, McMillian is

hopeful the court will rule in
favor of the LGBTQ commu-
nity in Kansas afer similar rul-
ings in Oklahoma and Utah.
I just wanted it now so peo-
ple who are advocates can start
advocating for whatever comes
next, he said.
Tough he wont be getting
married anytime soon, McMil-
lian said he has friends plan-
ning on getting married when
same-sex marriage is fnally
legalized.
McMillian thinks that once
same-sex marriage is legalized
in Kansas, it will help point
campus culture regarding
same-sex marriage in a positive
direction.
I think that anytime some-
thing as important as [same-
sex] marriage is legalized, it
makes the culture better for
all gay people, he said. I hope
that campus becomes safer. I
hope it becomes more com-
fortable, more tolerant. I hope
that Kansas becomes safer and
more comfortable and more
tolerant, because its not just a
KU thing, obviously, its a Kan-
sas thing.
Charles Dedmon and Michael
Nelson, a married same-sex
couple and KU alumni living in
Kansas, have a pending lawsuit
with the Kansas Department
of Revenue to recognize their
marriage. Dedmon and Nel-
son were married in California,
but chose to live in their native
state of Kansas hoping to help
legalize same-sex marriage.
For them, hearing their mar-
riage may soon be recognized
in their home state was shock-
ing and just what theyve been
fghting for.
Dedmon said Nelson broke
the news to him afer theyd
received an email from their
attorneyabout the Supreme
Courts decision. At frst, they
werent quite sure what it meant
or how itwould afect their
lawsuit. Once they processed
the news, however, they were
thrilled.
Its a great non-decision by
the Supreme Court. Sometimes
they do as much by not acting
as they can by acting, Dedmon
said.
Dedmon is unsure how this
will afect the couples lawsuit
since they fled both state and
federal claims, saying the fed-
eral government doesnt like
to get involved with state law
decisions.
Dedmon said that the denial
will likely speed up the process.
Although Dedmon and Nel-
son are already married, if
same-sex marriage is legalized
in Kansas, they will be thrilled
to celebrate with same-sex
couples here. Dedmon said
that theyd likely go to Tope-
ka to stand on the steps of the
Capitol in victory.
All the people that dont have
the energy, the time, the money
to get involved in this litiga-
tion, but they do have enough
money to get married, and they
can come to Topeka, Dedmon
said.

University responds to
re drills
The Ofce of Public Safety con-
ducted re drills in Allen Field-
house, Anschutz Sports Pavilion
and Wagnon Student Athlete Cen-
ter on Monday, Oct. 6. The re drills
are performed to not only help stu-
dents know what to do in an emer-
gency situation, but to help main-
tenance check and ensure that all
the lights, monitors, alarms and
doors are working correctly.
The success [of the re drills]
is the fact that everyone got out of
the building in a short amount of
time, Andrew Foster, emergency
management specialist for the Of-
ce of Public Safety, said. Its not
really an objective measure but a
way for us to practice as best as
possible.
While conducting the re drill
in Allen Fieldhouse, the public
safety ofce and administration
noticed the alarms in a certain
area didnt shut off at the end of
the drill, which is actually a good
thing. It means that this re drill
served its purpose for making sure
that everything was working, or
that something needed to be xed,
Foster said.
Foster said the problem will be
recorded and maintenance will be
sent to x it.
By indicating a problem with cer-
tain alarms, the public safety of-
ce will now be able to ensure that
everything will be in working order
come an actual emergency. Foster
said all of the drills ran smoothly
and students showed a quick re-
sponse in leaving the building.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick has a tire changed on pit row during a race at Kansas
Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 5.
Goodyear might be to
blame for tire problems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan.
Its impossible to be perfect,
to always get everything
right and never fail at all.
To listen to Goodyear of-
fcials, the company never,
ever comes up short at the
race track.
It sure sounded like Good-
year thought it was of the
hook on Sunday afer a tire
problem caused Dale Earn-
hardt Jr. to hit the wall while
leading at Kansas Speedway.
Ten Brad Keselowski suf-
fered a similar fate, and Ka-
sey Kahne also thought an
issue with his tires sent him
into the wall.
It dropped all three drivers
into the bottom of the Chase
for the Sprint Cup standings,
in serious jeopardy of elim-
ination from the champion-
ship race in two weeks.
So what happened? Good-
year director of racing Greg
Stucker didnt have a defni-
tive answer during Sundays
race but sure seemed to be
pointing the fnger at the
race teams.
Were trying to fgure out
exactly what the issue is with
the teams. Obviously, a race
like this in the Chase, ev-
erybody is kind of up on the
wheel and really pushing the
envelope, said Stucker, who
hinted that adjustments
made as the race progressed
led to issues that didnt exist
during the frst green-fag
run.
Once again, we are led to
believe this was not a Good-
year issue, but a problem
with teams pushing the lim-
its of their tires in an efort
to capitalize in an important
Chase race. Really? In a race
where the risk was far greater
than any expected reward?
Shame on Hendrick Mo-
torsports and Team Penske
if they were so aggressive
that their drivers are now in
danger of not advancing to
the third round of the Chase.
And poor Kevin Harvick,
who took note of his rivals
problems and feared he was
next when his car suddenly
struggled to turn as he was
running third with a shot at
the win. Harvick made an
unscheduled pit stop for-
feiting any chance at victory
to get the tires of his car
before they completely de-
railed his season.
Only he was wrong, the
problem wasnt with his
tires, and his paranoia led to
an unsatisfying 12th-place
fnish. But, hey, Harvick
got of easy. Kahne fnished
22nd, Earnhardt was 39th
and Keselowski 36th in a
race won by teammate Joey
Logano.
Drivers are very careful not
to disparage Goodyear, NA-
SCARs exclusive tire provid-
er. Much ado was made ear-
lier this season when Jimmie
Johnson crew chief Chad
Knaus sarcastically quipped
on the team radio that tire
problems at Bristol were
surely something we did.
Im sure its our fault.
It forced Johnson into a
meeting with Goodyear of-
cials where the tire manufac-
turer and the driver privately
agreed to disagree on the
cause of his failure.
It put Johnson in no mood
to be politically correct come
New Hampshire in July,
when two tire problems in
the frst 11 laps of the race
ended his day.
Im expecting people to
quickly point back at the
team and say its our fault,
the six-time and defending
NASCAR champion said
that day.
Enough is fnally enough.
Yes, Goodyear must deal
with repaved race tracks
and changing rules, but its
implausible to believe Good-
year is never to blame (the
company did accept fault
for the 2008 debacle at In-
dianapolis). Whats closer to
the truth is that Goodyears
tire development, at times, is
simply not acceptable for the
top motorsports series in the
United States.
96 years ago this week, the
entire KU campus was closed
for a whole month due to an
inuenza pandemic. Students
were forbidden to gather in
large groups or leave campus.

Te Feel Good Fitness Pro-
gram at the Robinson Cen-
ter allows faculty and staf to
utilize the recreation facilities
during lunch breaks and at
the end of the work day free of
charge, however, its founder
would like to see more mem-
bers take advantage of it.
Te program, created by Dr.
Mary Fry, associate professor
of health sport and exercise
science, is working to encour-
age staf and faculty to use
the facilities available to them
to improve their health and
well-being.
Out of the 2,700 faculty
members at the University,
133 staf and faculty members
fltered through the facilities
at noon on Monday. While
Mondays are the Centers bus-
iest days, Fry feels as though
there could be more members
making use of it.
Whats unfortunate is the
people who use it are, for the
most part, comfortable with
exercising without any help
and for staf who are uncom-
fortable exercising, there is
no one here to help get them
started, Fry said.
Last fall, Fry and her gradu-
ate exercise psychology class
held an event at the Robinson
Center to promote the pro-
gram. Her students gave tours
of the facilities to familiarize
people with the weight room,
pool, aerobics areas and bas-
ketball courts. Over 350 staf
and faculty attended the
event. Since then, the amount
of staf and faculty utilizing
the facilities has increased.
Teresa Brown, director
of student afairs research,
attended the event as well.
Browns research looks at what
motivates a person to exercise
and last year she assessed the
staf and facultys needs afer
attending the event. She found
that most people asked for a
walking program, so she ap-
plied for a research grant for
pedometers for the staf and
faculty.
Te grant, sponsored by
the Faculty and Staf Well-
ness Committee, recruits 105
participants to use pedome-
ters throughout the day and
they are encouraged to reach
10,000 steps. A group of stu-
dents hand-delivered fyers
promoting the grant and word
spread like wildfre. In just
one day, Brown had twice as
much interest in the program
than there were funds. Tere
was even interest from stu-
dents who had to be turned
down as it is only a program
for the staf and faculty.
It was neat the way news
spread so quickly about the
program, Brown said. It
shows a strong interest on
campus to ft in physical ac-
tivity.
According to the Mayo Clin-
ic, adults should aim for at
least 30 minutes of physical
activity every day. Tis can
be a difcult feat to achieve
for some staf and faculty, es-
pecially if they dont have the
luxury of having an ofce in
Robinson like Dr. Fry, who
uses the pool at least twice
a week. However, that is the
purpose of the Feel Good Fit-
ness Program.
Te program puts emphasis
on getting people active, com-
fortable and healthier, Fry
said. We would love to keep
building the culture of health
and wellness among our fac-
ulty. Wherever you are on
your ftness journey, you are
welcome here.

Te travel registry is de-
signed for faculty, graduate
students, and undergraduate
students who are overseas do-
ing academic work connect-
ed to the University but not
through an established study
abroad program, Angela Per-
ryman, director of the Ofce
of Study Abroad, said.
Tis can include: intern-
ships, research projects, and
other study-based work that is
not for KU credit. Te Student
International Travel policy
was revised in May 2014 and
has since seen 131 students
register, Perryman said.
Te registry creates an infor-
mation network for students
abroad. It provides coun-
try-specifc travel information
before students travel. It can
also send out updates like lo-
cations of possibly dangerous
situations so that students
can revise their travel plans.
Tis makes quick location
and evacuation possible in the
event of an emergency.
For students doing work that
applies to registry guidelines,
signing up is required. To reg-
ister, students must submit
the following information:
emergency contact informa-
tion, a photocopy of ones
passport, fight itinerary and
travel plans, a completed stu-
dent liability lease, health in-
surance certifcation, medical
release form, emergency evac-
uation and repatriation insur-
ance, and a travel proposal
and emergency management
plans for group programs.
I want students to know
that this is a [] relatively
quick and painless process
that has great beneft to them,
Perryman said.
Hannah Boyd, a senior from
Tulsa, Okla., spent last sum-
mer doing biology research in
the Amazon with Dr. Caroline
Chaboo, assistant professor in
the Department of Ecology
and Evolutionary Biology.
Although Boyd was unable
to check her email for the du-
ration of her research project
for lack of internet, she said
the application process was
straightforward.
Tey help you along, Boyd
said. If theres stuf that still
needs to be done, they send
you emails to remind you. For
people like me, its great.
Te need for this program
became apparent in incidents
like the earthquake and tsuna-
mi in Japan, Perryman said. In
such a situation, the Universi-
ty could quickly identify what
faculty and students were
overseas, but there was a gap
for these students who were
abroad.
Were seeing more students
who are going international
than we ever have and theyre
going abroad to do all kinds of
interesting things, Perryman
said. Universities are think-
ing, Tis is fantastic, how do
we support students?
If students are unsure wheth-
er their travel plans falls un-
der registry guidelines, Holly
Presnell, an on staf advisor
at the Ofce of Study Abroad
is overseeing the registry and
meeting with students.
For more information on
the registry, visit the Ofce of
Study Abroad located in Lip-
pincott Hall, Room 108. Stu-
dents can also call (785) 864-
3742 or email studyabroad@

Just saw someone practicing on
the practice eld. Glad to know
that we have at least one person
using it.
Burger as big as my hangover.
Do I remember most of the things
I learned last semester? No. Do I
remember the chorus of a song I
learned in kindergarten? Yes.
To the Royals hater, all we do is
win
I get really tired of hearing about
diversity. Color doesnt make you a
diverse campus.
Hopefully the people in Hong
Kong ghting for democracy will
encourage students to vote in the
November election.
I managed to cover my skin with
sunscreen, but I still came out of
this weekend with sunburnt lips.
Ginger problems.
Since when is Missouri State in
the Big 12 conference?
Ive been hit by a car as a pedes-
trian because the driver ran a red
light. My solution? No more old
people driving! Grey Dawn!
You have two choices when
getting dressed for the day: Freeze
your butt off in the morning or
burn up in the afternoon.
No, an entire fraternity is not be-
ing targeted for the actions of an
individual. The fraternity is being
targeted for fostering a culture
and environment where sexual
assault is allowed. A dispropor-
tionately high number of sexual
assaults are connected to Greek
life and the university is trying
to curb the problem by cracking
down on the houses where it
happens.
Speaking as someone who got hit
by and car and walked away, a car
speeding down the street is more
responsible for an accident than a
pedestrian whose only choice is to
play real-life Frogger.
You know what my coffee would
taste good with? No class.
The person complaining about the
Royals is like a grain of sand in a
sea of blue.
Fraternities are campus organiza-
tions so if theyre going to create
environments in which sexual
assault can happen then yes, its
necessary to punish the entire
fraternity.
Everything is Halloween and
nothing hurts
I bet this wont be FFA of the day.

Pumped for Late Night!

Taking it one game at a time,
though.
City-wide recycling is exactly what Lawrence needs
T
he City of
Lawrence is in
the process of
providing each single-
family and multi-family
residences in Lawrence
with new, blue recycling
bins. Collections will
occur on an every-other-
week basis, adding a mere
$2.81 per month to each
residents utility bill, and
will begin the third week
of October.
Until now, several
private recycling
companies have been
providing their services
in Lawrence, most
notably Deffenbaugh
Industries. Deffenbaugh
has been picking up
recycling bins on a
weekly basis for an
average of $5.00 a month.
The switch from weekly
to bi-weekly pickups
shouldnt be a problem
for households that
accumulate significant
amounts of recycling
because the City will
provide extra bins upon
request at no extra
charge.
Even though
Deffenbaugh has decided
to end its business
in Lawrence (since
Lawrence will practically
monopolize the recycling
market), small reclycing
businesses should
not expect to suffer
much. They have been
included in the Citys
planning discussions
since the citywide
recycling decision was
made a year and a half
ago, and they contend
that loyal customers
will still recycle with
them. Furthermore, the
Citys bi-weekly pickups
may cause residents
to continue recycling
with them, or take an
occasional trip to other
recycling centers around
Lawrence.
What a victory for the
environment. Nearly
everyone will have the
opportunity to recycle
at a low cost, and local
businesses have been
treated well in the
process of implementing
this plan. The citizens
of Lawrence need to
make the most of this
new opportunity. I hope
not only that more
people will now recycle
regularly, but also that
people will start to
develop waste-reducing
mentalities.
In this country, space
is not an issue, and
throwing everything in
the trash seems to be a
widely accepted practice
justified by habit and
laziness. On the other
hand, my grandmother,
who lives in Europe,
gets fined if she does
not recycle recyclable
items. In countries where
space is so tight that
driving a Smart car is
actually smart instead
of comical, recycling
is often mandatory
and controlled by the
government. Though
Lawrence isnt quite that
strict, Im glad to see
that we are moving in the
right direction.
When you are
confronted with the
option of throwing away
versus recycling, I hope
that a moral bell rings
and you decide to spend
those extra seconds to
break down a cereal box
instead of chucking it.
Im convinced that by
simply providing an
option for recycling,
mentalities about waste
will change. People will
become conscious about
more than just recycling;
this can become a
domino effect for more
conscious thoughts on
water usage, electricity
usage and so on.
Lawrence has provided
a truly wonderful
opportunity for its
citizens to collectively
reduce waste and
develop waste-reducing
mentalities. So, while
Rosneft and ExxonMobil
begin pumping crude oil
from the Arctic and start
damaging yet another
environment, we can at
least be happy with our
small, though absolutely
important, environmental
victory at home.

T
he Department
of English
wishes to take
up the challenge issued
by the September
Siblings and other
students to examine the
institutional climate in
which sexual violence
has been able to cause
widespread and too-
often unacknowledged
suffering. Specifically, we
wish to answer the call
made by Alesha Doan,
chair of Women, Gender
and Sexuality Studies and
co-chair of the Sexual
Assault Task Force to
follow these students
courageous example and
continue to speak out.
It is our responsibility
as a community to keep
breaking the silence,
to draw attention to
the pervasive patterns
of sexual violence
which our culture
tolerates, to call for
and actively support
changes in policy and
implementation that
prevent and punish
such violence, and to
make ourselves and
others accountable for
seeing that such changes
become permanent.
In our role as an
academic unit, we
can best address this
through teaching and
research. We often
witness the impact of
sexual violence on the
lives of our students. In
our classrooms, we need
to practice structuring
inclusive conversations
about systemic violence
and sexual assault and
the pain and damage
they cause. There are
many ways we can do
this: through the texts
we teach, in discussion
of current events and
by using language that
respects the seriousness
of sexual violence.
These conversations
can connect students
with one another and
with their teachers
in ways that produce
powerful learning
experiences, even as
they raise consciousness
about a pervasive
and deadly problem.
Teachers need to be
trained in leading
discussion around these
issues as well as in how
to best provide first-
response support. As
instructors, we need
to be ready to direct
students who confide in
us to resources that can
provide the strongest
forms of survivor
advocacy (e.g. the
Emily Taylor Resource
Center and Lawrence-
based GaDuGi). As an
institution we need to
act to ensure that those
resources are truly
robust.
The task force
has been charged
by our chancellor
with examining KU
policy, practices and
sanctions, the Code
of Student Rights and
Responsibilities, and the
adequacy of survivor
services and prevention
programs.
Even as members
began working on
these immediate goals,
their first meeting also
powerfully highlighted
our responsibility and
our opportunity as a
research institution
to become a national
leader in prevention and
survival. Two of our Bold
Aspirations strategic
initiatives, Promoting
Wellbeing and Building
Communities invite
us to link research
opportunities with
prevention programs,
to generate and analyze
data and to open up
critical conversations
that together can
drive decisions about
prevention, safety and
survivor needs.
We are proud of our
students for speaking
out and we take their
demands seriously.
We are grateful to the
task force members
who have taken on
this crucial work. We
need to help put their
recommendations into
action through our
teaching, our research
and our service as
citizens of KU and
the larger community
beyond the campus. In
these ways, we can help
uproot norms that enable
sexual pressure and
assault on campus even
as we make meaningful
contributions to a
nationwide conversation
whose urgency must not
be allowed to fade.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Once Jill Urkoski, KU Rec-
reation Services associate
director of program man-
agement, read about a fusion
of drumming and dance in
a ftness and wellness news-
letter, she knew the program
was something she wanted to
bring to the University.
Pound, a cardio workout
program incorporating sim-
ulated drumming and danc-
ing, was originally started by
Kirsten Potenza and Cristina
Peerenboom. Starting in the
spring of 2015, students will
be able to participate in this
new form of group exercise.
I thought maybe thats
something thats diferent, its
something fun, Urkoski said.
You have to move but its not
as in depth in terms of all the
other types of group ftness
classes we have.
While the online registra-
tion for the Pound certif-
cation training has already
started, students can still reg-
ister for the all-day training
session that will take place
Nov. 1. Once students are
registered, in addition to at-
tending the training session,
they will also audition for in-
structor positions at the KU
Ambler Recreation Fitness
Center.
Urkoski said getting a cer-
tifcation in this type of ex-
ercise can beneft students
who may or may not study
exercise science or commu-
nity health and that teaching
a group ftness class can im-
prove leadership skills.
If you are in those classes,
then you defnitely are en-
hancing your practicality of
information, so it makes you
more marketable, Urkos-
ki said. I think just making
connections and engaging
with other students can be
very benefcial to any profes-
sion.
Students who are not inter-
ested in becoming an instruc-
tor can attend the class with a
KU Fit Pass. KU Recreation
Services is anticipating hav-
ing two to three Pound classes
a week as part of the KU Fit
program.
Its a cardio jam session so
you are always moving, but
you are moving to the beat of
the music and imitating like
you are playing drum, said
Anna Schwartz, KU Recre-
ation Services coordinator of
ftness and wellness.
Schwartz said the format of
this exercise can bring in a
more diverse audience. With
the musical aspect of the
workout, people who typi-
cally wouldnt enjoy exercise
could also come and appre-
ciate it.
Tough Urkoski said the
perception of group ftness
tends to be more female-ori-
ented, she is anticipating
more male participation. She
said adding some change to
your workout, such as group
ftness, can add fun and di-
versity into a daily, sometimes
boring, routine.
We want everybody to par-
take in and enjoy, plus it can
add some diversity, she said.

Te University Career Cen-
ter has started an Instagram
account called Humans of
KU with the intentions of
showcasing students around
campus with a focus on their
passions, majors, future ca-
reer ideas, internships and
more. Te account was start-
ed a month ago and has fea-
tured 18 students so far.
Katrina Zaremba, commu-
nications coordinator for
the University Career Cen-
ter, was approached with the
idea for the account by the
interns she worked with this
past summer.
Te interns pitched the
idea and just kind of ran
with it which I love because
here we really value student
input, Zaremba said. We
know that if our students
are passionate about it, most
likely other students will be
too.
Humans of KU, features
a variety of students around
campus. According to Za-
remba, each week, typically
on Fridays, the interns will
go out and stop students
on campus asking them if
theyd be interested in be-
ing featured on the account.
Tey then snap their picture
and ask them questions that
showcase each student as an
individual.
One of the University Ca-
reer Centers interns, Josie
Miller, a senior from Lenexa,
said she and her peers hope
to express the uniqueness of
the students on campus.
She said approaching ran-
dom students on campus can
be intimidating, but has tried
to get used to it in order to
learn about their story.
Lately instead of focusing
on my fear, I focus intently
on each student and the sto-
ry that theyre revealing to
me, which really helps with
nerves and fosters a much
deeper conversation, Miller
said.
Miller said the University
Career Center is using social
media to voice the incredible
journeys that students have
made so far, the current situ-
ations they are in and where
they hope to fnd themselves
in the future.
Its really student focused
and we want to really show-
case all of the cool things
students are doing. We want
the world to know about
them, Zaremba said. Also
in a subtle way, the account
promotes the Career Centers
services at KU as well.
Megan Pyle, a senior from
Overland Park, said she was
approached one week ago to
be featured on the account.
She gave the interviewer for
the account insight on her
plans to major in Philosophy
and also shared that she has a
passion for art.
In my opinion everyone
is an iceberg, we all have
stories that are beneath the
surface that make us who we
are, Miller said. Digging
beneath the surface with
people helps me see that ev-
eryone has a story and gives
me a sense of compassion for
the students walking around
me that I never had before.
Miller said everyone has
something to teach the
world, and hopes that Hu-
mans of KU can be just one
of the many ways students
can do that.
Sometimes I forget that
each student has their own
stories, memories, goals and
aspirations that make them
who they are today, Miller
said. Humans of KU has re-
ally helped me to appreciate
humanity and the unique-
ness of each of our stories.

Celebrity stylist and
market editor for People
StyleWatch, Joiee Thor-
pe, is hosting an event
Tuesday called Celebrity
Stylist on Campus at the
Kansas Union to provide
personal fashion consult-
ing for KU students. Peo-
ple StyleWatch partnered
with Her Campus KU to
engage the University.
Thorpe is coming to
help students by giving
style advice for important
events such as a job inter-
view, a date or a night out.
Thorpe will be stationed
at the Union from noon
to 6:00 p.m. for students
to set up 10-minute per-
sonal appointments. Peo-
ples StyleWatch will also
be giving away prizes at
the event such as a $1,000
shopping spree on ASOS,
$100 to TRESemm, a
special gift bag and $250
to Sorel. Participants can
enter by tweeting with a
specific hashtag and a fa-
vorite style to win.
Celebrity Stylist on
Campus provides a
unique opportunity for
students to develop dif-
ferent life skills that are
not typically offered on
campus. Thorpe said
many campuses have
seminars for business,
corporate or nursing jobs.
Thorpe is here to empow-
er women and give advice
about the fashion indus-
try and how to get started
for those who are inter-
ested in it.
Fashion jobs are having
this major breakthrough,
Thorpe said.
She said she likes to talk
to women about how she
got started.
This is what you need
to do, you need to get
internships, you need to
meet people, you need to
network, she said.
Celebrity Stylist on
Campus will come to
four universities: Boston
University, Auburn, Uni-
versity of Miami and now
KU. "We were looking for
a school with diversity
and a large population
of fashionable women,
and KU is a natural fit for
us," said William Gasper-
oni, associate publisher
of marketing at People
StyleWatch.
"Our Her Campus part-
ner's chapter is very
strong on social media,
and they are fully engaged
in the campus, so it was
an easy decision, Gasper-
oni said. Not to mention,
we have a few KU alum
in our office who cam-
paigned to get the brand
to their alma mater."
People StyleWatch sets
out to create brand aware-
ness and inspire students
to use fashion as a form
of self-expression, Thor-
pe said.
We want to inspire
you to be confident and
strong, she said. We
want to encourage you
like cheerleaders. Not
necessarily to do any-
thing out of your comfort
zone, but inspire you to
take chances. Fashion is
risky sometimes and it is
fun.
Thorpe compares start-
ing in the fashion world
similar to the movie The
Devil Wears Prada. She
said at first it was intim-
idating and she was unfa-
miliar with many brands.
However, she worked
hard by constantly work-
ing an internship during
the day and a job at night.
Anything is possible,
you just have to want
it bad enough, Thorpe
said.

CHICAGO As a teenag-
er, holed up in his bedroom,
illuminated by the glow of
his laptop, Youngbin Chung
became addicted to video
games. Ten-hours-a-day ad-
dicted.
His grades tanked. His par-
ents fretted.
A few years later, the
20-year-old from the San
Francisco area leads a team
of headset-wearing players
into virtual battle in a dark-
ened room at a small private
university in Chicago. Hes
studying computer network-
ing there on a nearly $15,000
a year athletic scholarship
for playing League of Leg-
ends, the video game that
once jeopardized his high
school diploma.
I never thought in my life
Im going to get a scholarship
playing a game, said Chung,
one of 35 students attending
Robert Morris University on
the schools first-in-the-na-
tion video game scholarship.
Once regarded as anti-so-
cial slackers or nerds in a
basement, gamers have be-
come megastars in what are
now called esports. In pro-
fessional leagues, they com-
pete for millions of dollars
in prizes and pull in six-fig-
ure incomes for vanquish-
ing their enemies in what
have become huge spectator
events packing tens of thou-
sands into sports stadiums
around the world.
Games have evolved from
the days of Pac-Man and
Donkey Kong into some-
thing much more complex.
They demand hyper mental
acuity and involve multiple
players communicating with
each other in teams, plotting
strategy, predicting oppo-
nents moves and reacting in
milliseconds.
Robert Morris, a not-for-
profit university with about
3,000 students, believes
those are not so different
from the skills one uses on
a football field or a basket-
ball court and that spending
money to recruit these stu-
dents, too, will enrich cam-
pus life and add to its ranks
of high-achieving graduates.
Its coming; its coming big
time, Associate Athletic Di-
rector Kurt Melcher said of
the esports trend and what
hes sure is its looming rec-
ognition by a bigger chunk
of the collegiate sports
world.
Hundreds of other col-
leges and universities have
esports clubs, but Robert
Morris is the first to rec-
ognize it as a varsity sport
under its athletic depart-
ment. The scholarships,
which cover up to half off
tuition and half off room
and board (worth a to-
tal of $19,000 in a typical
three-quarter academic
year) are for a single game,
League of Legends, in
which teams of five on five
use keyboards and mouses
to control mythical fighters
battling it out in a science
fiction-like setting.
The first practices started
last month in a $100,000
classroom outfitted with
an expansive video screen,
computers and an array of
eye-dazzling gaming para-
phernalia.
The space is dimly lit and
window blinds are drawn to
keep glare off monitors. In
the darkness, dozens of stu-
dents wearing microphone
headsets flit fingers and
thumbs over the controls
with blistering intensity and
concentration. Death comes
in a multitude of forms and
is often sudden. According-
ly, the hum of game chatter
is punctuated by the occa-
sional whooping cry of vic-
tory or anguished sigh of
defeat.
The Robert Morris Ea-
gles will play teams in two
leagues that include the likes
of Harvard and MIT with
hopes of making it to the
League of Legends North
American Collegiate Cham-
pionship, where the mem-
bers of the first-place team
take home $30,000 each in
scholarships.
Melcher dreamed up the
scholarship idea while
searching online for the vid-
eo games he used to play.
Some soccer players were
bemused, but he said there
was no real pushback from
the university, which al-
ready has scholarships for
everything from bowling to
dressing as the mascot.
Some 27 million people
play League of Legends each
day, according to developer
Riot Games Inc.
This years professional
championship is Oct. 19 in
Seoul at the stadium South
Korea built to host the 2002
soccer World Cup. The
45,000 seats are expected to
sell out. The top team will
take home $1 million.
The traditional sports
world is still trying to figure
out what to make of the phe-
nomenon.

Te question of publicity vs.
problematic ofen arises in the
entertainment industry. Tere
is, for lack of a better term,
a blurred line between what
constitutes as attention grab-
bing and what is appropriate,
the latest example being the
music video for Maroon 5s
new hit song, Animals. An-
imals is the second single of
the bands ffh album, V, re-
leased Sept. 2.
Later last month, on Sept.
29, the music video for the
track was released, placing
the song in a drastic and
startling visual context.
Te video, which has now
garnered well over 13 mil-
lion views, has created fren-
zy among media. Te Rape
Abuse and Incest National
Network (RAINN) deemed
the video a stalkers fantasy.
In the video, frontman
Adam Levine portrays a
butcher preying on or
stalking his love interest,
played by his real-life wife Be-
hati Prinsloo. While the con-
nection between the character
of a butcher and the songs ti-
tle Animals seems plausible,
the disturbing disconnect oc-
curs when viewers realize the
animal being hunted is in fact
a woman.
As sexual assault remains
a prominent and sensitive
issue on our own campus,
its important to note that
this issue pertains not only
to students, not only on col-
lege campuses, but on a na-
tional level as well. Whether
through Obamas Its On Us
campaign or through a twist-
ed music video from a pop-
rock band, the matter is being
widely discussed. When such
a well-known band creates
and delivers a piece of work
relating to such a pertinent
and serious matter, its only
natural that people are going
to not only pay attention, but
they are going to react.
Tis past Saturday, Oct. 4,
Maroon 5 was the musical
guest on Saturday Night Live.
Te frst of the two songs the
group performed was, to little
surprise, Animals. Te red
leather jacket Levine wears
while performing is the only
on-stage resemblance to the
gruesome video, in which a
shirtless and tattooed Levine
sways from a rack of carcasses
and makes out with his wife
as what appears to be blood
pours over them.
When the song is taken out
of context from the stalker
storyline of the video, listen-
ers have little reason to take
the literal meaning of preying
on a human as serious. If we
can take a stance on the issue
of sexual assault on a local lev-
el, on our very own campus,
then we should hold ourselves
responsible for promoting our
stance on a national level as
well and to promote visually
appealing rather than appall-
ing content. As for Levine, the
only thing he should be hunt-
ing down is better concepts
for his music videos.

Im going to get a
scholarship playing a game.
YOUNGBIN CHUNG
Scholaship recipient
T
he last thing this
Jayhawk football
team needs is another
change. Charlie Weis is gone,
Clint Bowen is now trying to
fnd a balance between being
defensive coordinator and
head coach, and Kansas is des-
perately trying to turn around
a football program that has
struggled for years. To change
quarterbacks mid-season
would be a mistake.
Kansas has fltered through
four quarterbacks in the past
two and a half seasons. Every
time the new quarterback is
promised to be better than the
last, and every time they fall
short. But our quarterbacks
arent bad players. Most of
them were highly ranked.
Maybe the problem is that
quarterbacks dont stick
around long enough to con-
nect with the team.
Take a look at the top teams
in the country and their
quarterbacks. No. 1 ranked
Florida State has Heisman
winner Jameis Winston, whos
in his second season with the
Seminoles. No. 2 Auburn has
senior Nick Marshall, whos
been the starting quarter-
back for two years. No. 3
Mississippi State has been
with their quarterback, Dak
Prescott, for three seasons. All
of these teams have one thing
in common consistency.
And thats exactly what the
Jayhawks need right now.
Sophomore Montell Cozart
is a young quarterback who
has shown little consistency
this season, but it is too early
to bench him and name Mi-
chael Cummings the starter.
Weis named Cozart the starter
last spring instead of waiting
until fall training camp for a
reason. Te more reps Cozart
gets, the more comfortable
hell be come game time.
Playing Cozart over Cum-
mings isnt going to hurt the
Jayhawks this season, but it
may help them in future sea-
sons. Cozart still has two years
of eligibility afer this year,
giving him plenty of time to
gain consistency and become
a dominant leader. Cummings
only has one season lef,
meaning the Jayhawks will
once again be looking for a
new quarterback soon. Keep-
ing Cozart as the starter for
the next two
seasons also
gives the
Jayhawks
a chance
to develop
another
quarter-
back, who
will follow
in his steps
when he
graduates.
Statis-
tically,
Cozart and Cummings are
arguably on the same skill
level, but Cozart has put up
slightly higher numbers than
Cummings so far this season.
Cozart has completed 62 of
125 passes for a completion
rate of 49.6 percent. Cum-
mings has completed 9 of 19,
or 47.4 percent, of his passes.
Cozart averages 5.54 yards
per pass; Cummings averages
3.74. Cummings has a passer
rating of 78.8; Cozart, 98.2.
Cozart seems the obvious
choice by all standards.
Tough he has yet to show the
level of play the Jayhawks are
looking for, he has the stats to
beat Cummings and give the
Jayhawks some consistency
in at least one area of their
program. Cozart a growing
quarterback who will be a
dominant leader in the next
couple of seasons.
Edited by Rob Pyatt
After another loss in Big
12 conference play, Kansas
football needs to make
some immediate changes.
That first change should be
at quarterback, at least for
right now.
Its obvious to the football
fan base that sophomore
quarterback Montell Cozart
has underperformed this
season. I havent heard one
person talk about Cozart in
a positive way this season,
therefore interim coach
Clint Bowen should name
redshirt junior quarterback
Michael Cummings as the
starter this week against
Oklahoma State.
Kansas has nothing to
lose with this decision.
Cummings has experience
as a starter. As a redshirt
freshman, he started eight
of nine Big 12 games and
has good numbers against
the conferences defenses.
He completed 43 of 94
passes with 456 yards and
three touchdowns. He also
rushed for 123 yards and
added another touchdown.
Cummings has been
successful coming off the
bench. In 2012, he came
in against Oklahoma State
and led two fourth quarter
drives. He set season-high
records in completions
with 10 and yards with 111.
In 2013, he was underuti-
lized for the likes of Cozart.
As we have seen both this
seasons and last, Cozart
has not been the answer
the Jayhawks are looking
for.
This year alone, Cozart is
underperforming. He has
thrown seven interceptions
and has been sacked 11
times, which is way too
many to have
this early into
the season. I
expected him
to change after
the Central
Michigan
game, but have
yet to see any
improvement.
Cozart con-
tinues to favor
running over
passing. When
he does pass,
it is a bubble screen, and
the majority of the time the
play goes nowhere.
Kansas has great receivers
with Tony Pierson, Nick
Harwell and Justin McCay,
but theyre ineffective if
the ball is not accurately
thrown to them.
Dont get me wrong,
Cozart is a great athlete
and can do great things
someday, but he needs a
coach who specializes in
his game. Weis wasnt that
kind of coach, and Cozart
struggled because of it.
Whoever Kansas finds to
be its next coach, whether
its Bowen or someone
else, the priority should be
to get a coach to tailor to
his run-pass combination.
But for now, why not give
Cummings a chance?
Against Oklahoma State
this Saturday, there should
be no question but to start
Cummings at quarterback.
He might be the answer
to get those conference
wins that Kansas and the
fans eagerly await. For
Cozart, he can sit, learn
and gain more experience.
He can put in more work
at practice, and in future
years, Cozart could be the
quarterback Kansas expects
him to be.

Royals beat Angels 8-3
to nish off ALDS sweep
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Almost an
hour had passed, and the post-
game party had moved from the
eld to the Kansas City clubhouse,
where victory champagne was once
again owing. Yet as sheets of rain
fell at Kauffman Stadium, thou-
sands of celebrating Royals fans
refused to leave.
They had waited 29 years to soak
in moments like these.
This is a special time in the
city right now and theyre enjoying
this as much as we are, winning
pitcher James Shields said. This
is the best atmosphere Ive ever
been a part of.
Alex Gordon hit a bases-clear-
ing double in the rst inning, Eric
Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each
homered and the wild-card Royals
nished off a three-game sweep of
the mighty Los Angeles Angels with
an emphatic 8-3 victory Sunday
night in the AL Division Series.
The scrappy team with the un-
orthodox manager, popgun offense,
dynamic defense and lights-out
bullpen will open the AL Cham-
pionship Series against the Ori-
oles beginning Friday night in
Baltimore. Kansas City went 4-3
against the Os this year.
Ive never seen this group of
kids so condent on the big stage,
Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Its really fun to see their devel-
opment and watch them come into
the postseason and just really take
their game to the next level.
The power-hitting Angels, 98-64
in the regular season, became the
second team in the divisional era
that began in 1969 to have the
best record in the majors and get
swept out of the playoffs, STATS
said. In no small coincidence, the
Royals dealt the same humiliating
fate to the New York Yankees in the
1980 ALCS.
Stalking around the mound amid
an electric atmosphere, Shields
lived up to his Big Game James
billing. The Royals ace gave up
homers to Mike Trout and Albert
Pujols, but otherwise held in check
a suddenly punchless Los Angeles
lineup
Shields was helped, too, by div-
ing grabs by center elder Lorenzo
Cain on back-to-back plays. All
told, the highest-scoring team in
baseball managed six runs in the
entire series.
Anything happens in the play-
offs, Angels manager Mike Scios-
cia said. You dont go in with any
badge saying you won the most
games, and youre certainly not go-
ing to get any points for that going
into the playoffs.

In his frst week in his new
role with Kansas football, in-
terim coach Clint Bowen said
he was going to give everyone
a shot to earn playing time in
the remainder of the 2014 sea-
son.
Tere are going to be guys
who get some chance to get
some playing time, if they
earn it, Bowen said.
At the time, the comments
from his weekly presser were
about players getting their fair
shot at some time in special
teams.
But little did Bowen know
that a week later he would be
making the same statements
in his weekly Big 12 telecon-
ference this time regarding
the most important position
on the feld, the quarterback.
I told our guys on the team,
that every position, youre go-
ing to earn the right to play,
Bowen said. If the guy behind
you earns it more, then that
guy is going to play.
In Bowens debut, Kansas fell
to West Virginia 33-14 on the
road. Last season the Jayhawks
defeated the Mountaineers in
their lone conference victory.
Tis year, shouldering much
of the blame for the loss, is
sophomore quarterback Mon-
tell Cozart. Cozart received
his frst collegiate win against
the Mountaineers as a fresh-
man.
In Saturdays loss, Cozart
was 4-for-10 with 42 yards.
Te week prior Cozart threw a
career-high four interceptions
against Texas that pushed for-
mer coach Charlie Weis out
the door.
Under Bowen, Cozart ap-
peared to have a rather short
leash. Bowen pulled Cozart
afer the frst half, putting in
redshirt junior Michael Cum-
mings. Cummings didnt fair
much better as he was 8-for-17
with 65 yards.
Even third-string quarter-
back sophomore transfer T.J.
Millweard saw some action.
He completed his only pass
for four yards but spent a ma-
jority of the time handing the
ball of.
Now the question remains:
Who will be under center for
the Jayhawks in Bowens home
debut against the Cowboys of
Oklahoma State?
Tere are certain things that
you control as the quarterback
and whichever guy is going to
control those better is going to
play, Bowen said.
Weis announced Cozart was
the starter afer an impressive
spring. Cozart seemed like the
perfect ft for this new spread
ofense designed by frst-year
ofensive coordinator John
Reagan.
Cozart has rushed for an av-
erage of just 11 yards per game
thus far. He has completed less
than half his pass attempts
and has thrown seven inter-
ceptions.
If Bowen decides to go in a
diferent direction this week,
it will be the third consecu-
tive year Kansas will have had
a diferent quarterback start a
game who didnt start the sea-
son opener.
Regardless of which of the
three quarterbacks start, the
position will be closely ob-
served for the remainder of
the year. If Kansas cant fnd
the answer at the most im-
portant position on the feld,
it could very likely fnish last
in the Big 12, once again.

TCU and Oklahoma had nearly

Quarterback Tyrone Swoops

FACT OF THE DAY
FanDuel, the daily fantasy
industrys largest site, is on track
to payout $400 million in 2014. The
company, which launched in 2009,
is worth $4 billion, according to
projections run by the website.
FanDuel
Daily fantasy sports beginning to take ground in fantasy industry
QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
hen lawmakers made an
exemption for fantasy
sports in a 2006 law that
targeted online poker, no one expect-
ed a new industry which would rival
the millions laid on Las Vegas sports
books to emerge.
Daily fantasy sports (DFS), an indus-
try that started in 2009 and took real
footing in the fantasy sports feld afer
the 2011 NFL lockout, is booming.
Te top site in the industry, FanDuel,
is projected to pay out over $400 mil-
lion to its users in 2014. It is set to pull
$40 million in revenue, according to
projections done by the site itself, and
is one of dozens of the young, bustling
DFS communities.
Te relatively new daily fantasy
industry is booming for one reason:
instant gratifcation. Te industry is
based on games where new lineups
are submitted daily (or for NFL,
golf and soccer weekly).
Like yearly fantasy sports you might
play on ESPN, Yahoo! or CBS, DFS
players draf a team of athletes who
score fantasy points according to
point totals based on their on-feld
performance. Te user must fll their
lineup and remain under a set salary
cap while trying to score the most
points. Instead of having one devastat-
ing injury crush your season, such as
Jamaal Charles in 2011 or Tom Brady
in 2008, you can create a new team
every day, and minimize risk due to
injuries.
Entry fees, otherwise known as a
bet in Vegas terms, range from
$0.25 games on DrafKings, the in-
dustrys second-largest site, to $5,200
games for the industrys high rollers.
Some competitions pay 50 percent
of competitors, otherwise known as
double-ups in the industry. Others are
massive tournaments with thousands
of competitors looking for a share
of the payout, triple ups, guaranteed
prize pool games and many, many
more creative formats.
On an average day at FanDuel, there
are 12,000 competitions to choose
from. Once the competitions are
complete, usually within 24 hours of
lineups locking, winnings are imme-
diately allocated to those who have
won a payout.
Various sites have hosted parties at
the Playboy mansion, Las Vegas and
many other locations, for those who
win particular tournaments. Tis
seasons FanDuel Fantasy Football
Championship will host 100 fnalists,
one of which will take home $2 mil-
lion of the $7 million total prize pool
afer a three-day trip to Las Vegas.
Big media names such as Sports
Illustrated and USA Today are getting
in on the action as well, as both have
started pay-to-play sites. FanNation,
started by SI, focuses on Major League
Baseball, while USA Todays Fantasy-
Score launched in August and focuses
on the NFL. NBC Sports is part of
the total $86.2 million that has been
invested in FanDuel.
With names like those already in the
game, its no longer a question of if
major yearly fantasy sites such ESPN,
Yahoo! and CBS will join the industry.
Its now time to wonder when they
will start competing for a share of the
ever-growing pie that is daily fantasy
sports.

HEY BRO,
YOU CAN
RECYCLE
THIS PAPER
KANSAN.COM
THE STUDENT VOICE WITH YOU 24/7
Manning said. Hes taught me
a little bite of Russian, but Ive
forgot it all.
Svis Eastern European ac-
cent has caught the attention
of the team. Junior Jamari
Traylor and Selden said Svis
accent makes them laugh.
Self said Svi doesnt speak or
understand English as well as
Embiid did, but the diference
between Embiid and Svi is
Embiid acted like he didnt un-
derstand English, and Svi acts
like he does understand.
Joel [Embiid] understood
[English] perfectly, but he al-
ways acted like he didn't, Self
said. He was a master of that.
Svi isn't as bright as Joel in
that regard, as far as being a
con. Joel was great at it. You
know, when things are going
good, Joel understood every
word. When things were go-
ing bad, Oh, Coach, I don't
understand at all. But Svi isnt
like that. I think Svi gets it and
he understands.
AWAY FROM THE COURT
Svi might not know English
very well, but he likes the
American culture. Manning
said Svi fts in perfectly with
the team because he loves
playing video games.
Since hes been here, hes al-
ready beat Grand Tef Auto,
Manning said. [Svis] pretty
good at video games.
He enjoys another form of
popular American entertain-
ment, as well. Svi said he likes
old-school rappers like Tupac
and Notorious B.I.G, but he
likes the current rap stars, as
well.
I like Kendrick Lamar,
Drake and Te Game, Svi said.
BONDING OVER BASKETBALL
Freshman Kelly Oubre said
Svi and him connected in-
stantly because they are both
dedicated and love basketball.
We go at it every day in
pick-up and practice, and I can
tell hes a young guy, but I can
defnitely tell were going to gel
as teammates and brothers,
Oubre said.
Oubre and Svi are known as
the two best shooters on the
team. Every day in practice,
Oubre and Svi compete against
each other in shooting drills to
see whos the better shooter.
We arent tied, Oubre said.
I think Im up one. So Im go-
ing to give myself the beneft
of the doubt of course.
Oubre said Svi is a very
talented shooter, and will be
a major part of this Kansas
team. Svi says his best skill is
his shooting.
WELCOME TO BOOT CAMP
Svi didnt know anything
about Lawrence other than
basketball, and thats why he
showed up without pants, but
Selden said Svi has adjusted
well to the Kansas basketball
lifestyle. Te frst task Svi had
to overcome was boot camp.
Walking straight into boot
camp had to be tough for him,
but hes adjusted perfectly,
Selden said.
Tis seasons mens basketball
boot camp was two weeks long
and included a Marine ofcer,
who put the team through mil-
itary drills to whip them into
shape.
Svi said hes never been
through anything like boot
camp before, and it was really
hard.
Te team said certain ad-
justments came easily for Svi
because of his maturity. At
the age of 17, Svi becomes the
youngest player to ever play in
the Big 12 conference. Despite
still being a teenager, Manning
said Svi is really mature.
If I were to meet him and
not know anything about
him, I would think hes a lot
older than he is, Manning
said. Physically, hes a pretty
strong dude, but the way he
acts around people, hes a real-
ly classy guy.
TRANSLATING HIS GAME
Svi has to adjust to the Amer-
ican style of basketball, he said.
For me its like the frst days
are very hard because [his
teammates] are more physical
than me and stronger than me,
but I keep working hard, and I
think we are a good team and
we will be good, Svi said.
Te diference between the
European and American style
of basketball could beneft Svi.
Manning said Svis ability to
play in the 2014 FIBA World
Cup for the Ukrainian nation-
al team gives Svi a leg up be-
cause he played against grown
men including the U.S. mens
national team. Svi scored three
points in 11 minutes against
the U.S.
Over here, you dont see
many guys with his height
and that young dont have that
great of ball handling, Man-
ning said. He can handle the
ball really well and has great
passing ability.
Self said Svi will be a big part
of this Kansas team no matter
how well he can communicate,
and Oubre said Svis English
wont matter come game time.
He doesnt have to speak the
best English because his game
speaks for itself, Oubre said.

COMMENTARY
Kansas football
can learn from
Snyder, K-State
I
t wasnt always smooth
sailing for Kansas State
football before current
coach 74-year-old Bill Snyder
took over and elevated the
program to national status
over his 21 seasons with the
program. Kansas State, before
Snyder took the reigns, was at
the bottom of the barrel. In the
four years prior to his hiring,
the Wildcats limped to a 3-40-
1 record, and showed about
as much life as the current
Kansas football team.
I was just amazed to hear
young guys talk about never
wearing their letter jackets
because they were too em-
barrassed, Snyder said in a
SBNation.com article, when
refecting on the program he
inherited.
Te frst year of the Sny-
der-rebuild wasnt pretty.
Kansas State fnished 1-10 and
lost all seven of its conference
games. But as the years wore
on, and Snyder instilled intrin-
sic values of family, hard work
and integrity, the program saw
incremental improvement.
Tey treat the no-chance
walk-ons with the utmost
respect, former KSU quar-
terback Stan Weber said, in
a CBSSports.com article.
Webers son, Stanton, saw
special teams time for the 2014
Wildcats afer being told no
by many other coaches. Bill
Snyder, however, said yes.
Stanton Webers story is not
unique. Defensive end Ryan
Mueller from St. Tomas
Aquinas in Overland Park was
named to the preseason all
Big 12 team this summer afer
several years of hard work un-
der Snyder. Kansas didnt even
ofer him a scholarship.
By 1992, the Kansas State
way was paying of and by
1993, KSU capped of a 9-2-1
historic season with a 52-17
defeat of Wyoming in the
Copper Bowl.
Afer a solid foundation
was laid, cemented by per-
sistence, patience and tireless,
old-fashioned grit, the K-State
football program, once the
butt of many jokes, was of
and running like a fne-tuned
machine.
With an enrollment and an
athletic department about the
size of Kansas, and the same
home state from which to
recruit from, K-State and Bill
Snyder are a model of success
for Kansas football. Interim
Kansas coach Clint Bowen
has made comments that give
hope that there might be a
little Snyder in him.
As a player on this team
you have a responsibility to
do everything in your power
to help, and thats every single
one of us, and you will see
frst-line guys on (special
teams), Bowen said.
Nobody is above the team.
Each player is a part of the
family. Stars, second-string,
walk-ons. Snyders reign will
come to a close one day, but
there is so much to be learned
from his work. Bowens narra-
tive at Kansas, though, is just
beginning.

Ainise Havili Te fresh-

college game quickly, ranking
third in the conference with
11 assists per set.
Bye bye, Charlie Athlet-
ic director Sheahon Zenger
fred football coach Char-
lie Weis the morning afer a
shutout loss to Texas on Sept.
27. Weis went 6-22 while at
Kansas.
Connor Peck A junior
golfer from Ankeny, Iowa,
Peck has led the mens golf
team to two top-three fnishes
and has been among Kansas
top-two fnishers in each of
the teams three tournaments.
Defensive coordinator Clint
Bowen Te Lawrence native
was named the interim head
coach of the football team
for the rest of the season af-
ter Weis was relieved of his
duties. He has spent 16 years
on the coaching staf and an
additional three as a player.
Ed Warinner Tabbed by
many as a potential down-
the-road candidate to be-
come the next football coach
at Kansas, Warinner was the
ofensive coordinator for
three years under coach Mark
Mangino, including during
the 2007-08 Orange Bowl
season.
First-place in the Big 12
With a 13-1 record (3-0
in conference), the No. 16
Kansas womens soccer team
stands at frst in the confer-
ence. Oklahoma is the only
other Big 12 team without
a loss or a tie in conference
play.
Grass issues Te soccer
feld at the teams new abode,
Rock Chalk Park, experienced
some growing pains. Afer the
season opener did damage to
the grass at Rock Chalk Park,
the next six home games were
played at the teams old feld.
Heeney Senior linebacker
Ben Heeney, named to the
preseason All-Big 12 team,
is living up to the billing. He
ranks fourth in the confer-
ence in tackles and is tied
for ffh in tackles for a loss
among all positions.
Invitational titles Te
volleyball team had another
strong nonconference season,
winning three of its four invi-
tationals.
Jake Love Te junior line-
backer is tied for 13th in the
Big 12 in tackles for a loss
among all positions.
Kaitlyn Stroud Te Kansas
soccer team hasnt allowed
more than one goal in a game
this season, and senior goal-
keeper Kaitlyn Stroud is a big
reason why. She ranks frst in
the Big 12, allowing less than
half a goal per game (.46).
Liana Salazar Te junior
midfelder is tied for the Big
12 lead with nine goals this
season and ranks frst in
points, a statistic that com-
bines points and assists.
Montell Cozart Praised
during fall camp, sophomore
quarterback Montell Cozart
hasnt lived up to expecta-
tions. He ranks last in the Big
12, averaging 91 passing yards
per game.
Nick Harwell Te senior
wide receiver transfer from
Miami (Ohio) hasnt scored
a receiving touchdown since
he recorded two in the frst
quarter of the season opener
against Southeast Missouri
State.
Outside hitter position
Te deepest position on the
volleyball team, it is a big
reason Kansas ranks third in
the conference in kills. Senior
outside hitter Chelsea Albers
leads the way as she ranks
sixth in the conference in the
category.
Pornvipa Sakdee A soph-
omore from Tailand, Sakdee
won the Marilyn Smith Sun-
fower Invitational womens
golf tournament in Lawrence,
propelling the Jayhawks to a
second-place fnish.
Quick starts Kansas soccer
has outscored its opponents
13-2 in the frst period this
season.
Running backs Junior
transfer DeAndre Mann and
freshman Corey Avery have
led an attack that has com-
bined for a respectable 167.8
rushing yards per game.
Streak continues Kansas
football has lost 29 straight
road games, dating back to
2009.
Trevor Pardula A steady
presence for the special teams
unit, senior punter Pardula
leads the Big 12 with a 45-
yard average per punt. He
leads the league with seven
touchbacks.
Undefeated start Te Kan-
sas soccer started the season
8-0, the teams best start in
program history.
Volleyball in a slump Afer
a 12-2 start to the season, the
Jayhawks have lost their frst
three conference matches.
World Series bound? Not
Kansas Athletics related,
but still worth mentioning.
For the frst time since 1985,
the Kansas City Royals have
advanced to the American
League Championship Se-
ries, one round away from the
World Series.
X-factor Kansas football
cornerbacks JaCorey Shep-
herd and Dexter McDonald
have quietly had a nice sea-
son. Tey are tied for sixth in
the Big 12 in passes defended.
Yupaporn Kawinpakorn A
junior golfer from Tailand
leads the womens golf team
with a +7 average vs. par this
season in the Jayhawks three
tournaments.
Zenger Afer fring Weis,
the success of his next coach-
ing hire will likely determine
his future as the athletic di-
rector.

Freshman setter Ainise Havili sets up a kill for sophomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie on Wednesday against
Kansas State. The Jayhawks fell to 0-3 in conference play after losing to the Wildcats.
Ukrainian 17-year-old Svi-
atoslav Mykhailiuk was so
excited to play basketball at
Kansas that he forgot to pack
a basic necessity: pants.
When the 6-foot-8 guard,
who likes to be called Svi,
arrived in Lawrence, he
needed to go shopping. Svis
roommate, junior Evan Man-
ning, said he and sophomore
Wayne Selden took Svi shop-
ping at Urban Outftters.
We had to get him some
pants, Manning said. He
didnt have many dress clothes
or anything like that. So he
had to get all hooked up with
that. He doesnt have much
clothes to go out and eat with
or hang out in at night, so we
had to get him caught up.
Svi said he showed up in
Lawrence with only athletic
gear to play basketball be-
cause thats all he cares about.
Everyone on the team said Svi
is really dedicated to playing
basketball, and a lot them
have funny stories of his love
for the sport. For instance,
junior Perry Ellis said Svi in-
jured his leg on his recruiting
trip May 16, but still went to
the gym every day to shoot
around.
Over the course of two years,
the KU mens basketball team
has recruited international
athletes such as Andrew Wig-
gins and Joel Embiid, but both
Wiggins and Embiid played
high school basketball in the
United States. Tis season,
coach Bill Self recruited Svi,
who hadnt been to the Unit-
ed States before his recruiting
visits in May.
GRASPING THE LANGUAGE
Manning has helped Svi ac-
climate to his new lifestyle as
any good roommate would.
Besides helping Svi get a new
wardrobe, Manning said Svi
asks a lot of questions about
living in Lawrence and speak-
ing the English language. Svi
knows Ukrainian, Russian
and French, as well, but he
said French was the hardest
language to learn.
For me it was French be-
cause for me its more hard,
Svi said. English was also
hard, but Im studying it for
11 years.
Even though Svi studied En-
glish for the over a decade in
Ukraine, he said he needs to
improve by taking three basic
English classes at the Univer-
sity this semester. Manning
tries to help him with his En-
glish homework, and Svi tries
to teach him Russian.
He came up to me with
some homework, and its ac-
tually really tough for me as
a person that speaks English,
