THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
KANSAN
Recently, the Center for
the Remote Sensing of Ice
Sheets, or CReSIS, a National
Science Foundation center
based at the University of
Kansas, published an article
in the Journal of Glaciology
about its recent fndings in the
topography of two glaciers in
Antarctica and Greenland.
CReSIS, established in 2005
as part of NSFs Science and
Technology program, is led
by the University of Kansas,
according to the CReSIS
website, but also includes
Elizabeth City State University,
Indiana University, University
of Washington, Pennsylvania
State University, Los Alamos
National Laboratory, and the
Association of Computer
and Information Science
Engineering Departments at
Minority Institutions.
Our overarching goal is
to be able to provide the
science community with the
instrumentation and methods
to evaluate sea level rise,
focused specifcally on the
ice sheets in Greenland and
Antarctica, said graduate
research assistant Cameron
Lewis, a PhD student from
Lawrence.
As the hub of the program,
the Universitys part of CReSIS
focuses on the actual radars
and other instruments used to
measure the melting of these
glaciers.
Here in Nichols Hall, were
all electrical engineers, Lewis
said. Our focus is designing
the actual physical radars,
building them, troubleshooting
them, operating them in the
feld to collect the data. Ten
we provide the information
to the science community at
large.
Te research that was
published in the Journal of
Glaciology, CReSIS director
Prasad Gogineni said, tells the
science community that the
bed topography of the glaciers,
specifcally Jakobshavn Isbrae,
a large Greenland glacier, and
the Byrd glacier, located in
Antarctica, is very complex.
As discussed in the paper,
we need much fner resolution
data near the calving front
to make a more accurate
assessment, Gogineni said.
In the article, CReSIS said
they are planning on deploying
a number of unmanned small
aerial systems, which will
allow them to sense more
about the topography of the
ice underneath the surface
clutter.
As an institution, CReSIS
involves a large number of
faculty, staf, graduates and
undergraduates. Gogineni said
from 1998 to 2013, CReSIS
employed 206 undergraduates
and 184 graduates from the
universities involved in the
center.
Lewis has been working with
CReSIS since it was established
in 2005.
Its a unique experience,
Lewis said. When youre a
GRA involved in one of these
larger science centers, theres
a lot more opportunities
available for you for what
youre going to do.
For the past seven years,
Lewis has been working on
an accumulation radar for
the center. Taking ownership
of this project, seeing the
development and operation
of a physical item, is a great
experience, he said.

Senate candidate Greg
Ormans new plan regarding
college afordability revolves
around holding universities
accountable for the rising
cost of higher education and
increasing transparency to
give students more power in
taking out loans.
If you receive tax payer
dollars, you should sign on
to the goal of making it more
afordable, Orman said in his
speech on campus Tuesday.
Te six-part plan, which
Orman presented to about
30 students and community
members at Ecumenical
Campus ministries, outlines
plans to keep tuition low,
reduce interest rates on
student loans, increase
students understanding
of loans, reform collection
practices and protect military
members from predatory
loans.
One provision of Ormans
plan will require universities
to keep tuition increases
consistent with infation
levels. Should universities
choose not to do this, he
said they would not receive
taxpayer money. Te plan
does not provide suggestions
for how universities would
make up the lost revenue.
Orman cited two main
reasons for the increasing cost
of higher education: larger
numbers of administrators
and universities tendency to
emulate Harvard.
Tey want to make grander
universities, he said. Tey
want to have more diverse
programs. Tey want to
ultimately emulate that. Tere
are lots of examples that have
made other decisions not
to emulate the Harvards of
the world and are ultimately
delivering high-quality
education at a lower cost. In
everything Ive looked at,
the real driver of cost is this
decision to try to make these
institutions signifcantly
grander without really
looking at the underlying
quality of the education.
In addition to holding
universities accountable,
the plan emphasizes the
importance of student
knowledge of student loans
and transparency on the part
of loaners. Te plan cites the
CARD act, which required
credit card companies to
explain in simpler terms how
long a bill will take to pay of
and the interest that would be
paid over that time. Te plan
suggests similar requirements
for student loans.
In his speech, Orman also
suggested more resources to
help students make the right
decision about school. He
said the biggest student loan
victims are students who go
to universities unprepared
and drop out. Tose students
still have to pay of their
loans without the beneft of
having received a degree. He
suggested helping students
pick the right form of higher
education for their skills and
preparedness.
One of the things we need
to do a better job of is helping
kids make higher education
decisions, he said. Helping
them decide, Do I actually
want to go to community
college? Do I want to go
straight to a four-year
university? Should I go to a
trade school?
Te Kansan is waiting to
hear back from Senator Pat
Roberts regarding the plan.

Update: Te materials
that stem from the Kansas
Open Records Act request
a student group sent to the
University are currently
being reviewed by the
Universitys Ofce of the
General Counsel, which
handles all legal matters for
the University. Te Ofce
of Public Afairs said this is
typical for all KORA requests
so the University can redact
information that isnt public
record and would not apply
to a KORA request.
General counsel can help
determine whether the
requested records are exempt
from disclosure by law and
if information needs to be
redacted, Erinn Barcomb-
Peterson, director for News
and Media Relations, said in
an email on Monday.
Te Ofce of the Provost,
the ofce within the
University that handles all
KORA requests, responded
to the students request
within the three business
days that are mandated by
law with all KORA requests
and the ofce has now been
gathering all materials
related to the KORA request.
Te Universitys School
of Business and business
Professor Art Hall denied an
interview with the Kansan
due to general counsels
involvement with the
current KORA request.
Background: Students for a
Sustainable Future, a student
group at the University,
began looking into the
Koch brothers infuence
at the University afer
learning of other higher
education institutions
that have received money
from the Koch brothers
that may have contractual
stipulations. Tey learned
the business school receives
some donations from the
Koch brothers and the
schools Center for Applied
Economics is funded by the
Koch brothers. Te student
group fled the KORA request
that the University granted
but the documents came
with a $1,800 price tag. Te
student group met the goal
by fundraising, submitted
the payment and are now
waiting for the materials to
be given to them.
Whats Next: Te release
of the documents. Because
of the extensive nature of
the request, the documents
havent been produced
yet. Once all documents
have been gathered by the
University and information
has been redacted if needed,
the group will receive the
documents from the KORA
request.

WICHITA A Wichita-
based company that converts
shipping containers into
medical clinics is trying to
raise $300,000 to send eight
clinics, food and supplies to
western Africa to fght the
Ebola outbreak.
Clinic in a Can, founded
by physician assistant
Mike Wawrzewski, said his
organization wants to create
a Wichita response that will
get locals involved in the
battle against the deadly
disease. Sending much-
needed clinics to Liberia is a
step in that direction, he said.
Clinic in a Can, which built
its frst clinic in 2005, has sent
clinics to Haiti afer its 2010
earthquake, the Philippines
afer 2013s Typhoon Haiyan,
and Moore, Oklahoma, afer
last years massive tornado.
All surfaces in the clinics
can be decontaminated,
Wawrzewski said, which is
a step up from many of the
Ebola treatment centers in
Liberia.
Teir medical system
is overwhelmed and its
the consequences of poor
infrastructure and poor
sanitation, he said.
Te eight clinics are being
constructed now and will be
ready to ship in about three
weeks if funding is in place,
Wawrzewski said.

LeaderShape program accepting applications
Students could fnd an
email in their KU inbox
encouraging them to
apply for the 18th year of
LeaderShape, which is a six
day program that will take
place from Jan. 13-18. It helps
students practice teamwork,
ethical decision making,
identifying their strengths
and weaknesses, and building
bonds with other students.
For new or transfer
students its a great way to
make friends, Director of KU
LeaderShape Rueben Perez
said.
Last year, 270 applicants
applied, but only 70 were
admitted to the program. Te
national organization only
allows each program to host
70 students, and its a once-
a-year thing because of the
hosting expense, Perez said.
Tere is a variety of
applicants who are accepted.
Te committee looks for
a diverse group with an
equal amount of men and
women all spanning from
diferent backgrounds,
religions, political afliations
and ethnicities. Tere are
even doctorate and master
students who are accepted,
and one man as old as 56 was
accepted.
My favorite things is Ive
watched natural barriers
like Greek, political, living on
and of campus go down,
Perez said. Te program is
powerful beyond words.
Perez also said the
committee doesnt just
look for applicants who are
currently student leaders, but
they also look for students
who arent leaders who would
like to get more involved.
For the frst year since the
program has been on campus,
Perez said they are ofering
a second, slightly-altered
leadership program to the 200
or more applicants they turn
away. In the spring, a new
hybrid program will run for
one day, where it will cover the
main points of the traditional
LeaderShape program. Perez
said the applicants that were
turned away from the January
program will be the frst to be
invited to this new leadership
group.
Whether you get into the
LeaderShape program on the
frst try, or plan to attend the
hybrid version in the spring,
students are encouraged to
apply.
Go for it, Perez said.
Its six days to create
opportunities for students
to achieve what is the best
version of themselves. Te
$50 is worth the investment
in yourself.
Students who have been a
part of Leadershape have had
positive experiences.
I thought it was a hoax and
cant be that life changing, but
it was, it was an extremely
emotional six days. I met some
lifelong friends, said senior
Bret Koch, who attended the
program last year.
I came out as openly gay and
it was weird in to come out in
such a close-knit community.
I struggled with acceptance
in college and never felt more
accepted and like it was okay
to be who I am when I was at
LeaderShape, Koch said, who
is from Tonganoxie.
Koch is now heavily
involved with activities on
campus because he had the
ability to network and make
connections with people he
wouldnt have met otherwise.
He applied for an executive
position for the KU Dance
Marathon because of a friend
hed made at the program.
Tis year, he is the director of
fundraising of the KUDM.
Students whove gone
through the program have
established other programs
such as the House Tat
Greeks Built and KU Unity.
We dont measure success
of the program on how many
visions are implemented, but
on how students return and
live their lives, do their jobs,
arrive in their communities,
Perez said, who has been
with KU LeaderShape since it
started.
Tere are two main points
that Perez hopes to get across
through the program:
Within each of us there
is an ability to change the
world, we are here to help
you fnd that voice, he said.
First, we ask you what youre
passionate about. Ten, we
identify the communities you
are a part of. And lastly, we
ask students to think about
one change they can make
in one of these communities
so that they can leave with a
vision plan.
Afer you have found your
ability to change the world,
the second main focus
is doing it with integrity.
Perez wants students to ask
themselves, How would I
make choices when no one is
watching? and apply that to
their everyday lives.
Te deadline for students
to apply for KU LeaderShape
is Tursday, Oct. 23. More
information can be found at
www.silc.ku.edu/leadershape.

Its tough to avoid the
excitement. Te Kansas City
Royals are back in the World
Series afer a 29-year playof
absence. Lawrence businesses
are getting caught up in the
excitement, as many are
hosting parties throughout
the week to celebrate Blue
October.
Many bars, including
Louises Bar, Te Sandbar
and Te Wagon Wheel, are
ofering special deals on
game nights.
Cameron Birdsall, a
bartender at Louises Bar
at 1009 Massachusetts St.,
said the bar sold schooner
drinks for $4.50 Tuesday
night for the frst game of the
World Series. Birdsall said he
expects the bar to gain a lot of
customers during the games.
Any time theres a big
sports event going on,
its always really good for
business, Birdsall said. All
people really want is to watch
the game. Were going to give
it to them.
Te Sandbar, located at 17
E. 8th St., is also celebrating
the World Series.
Were going to watch the
games like everyone else
and try to do a little bit of
entertainment in between
the innings to try to get
people excited, said David
Johanning, a manager of Te
Sandbar. Well play some
music in between the innings
and make it a fun atmosphere
to watch the game.
Te Sandbar will ofer $1
specials on Royals Shots,
which will be tropical blue
shots.
Well probably call it Blue
October or something like
that, Johanning said.
Johanning said he expects
business to be great during
the weekday games,
attributing this to the
excitement surrounding the
Royals, as well as the nice
weather.
Te games have been
so much fun to watch,
Johanning said. Even people
who have watched a lot of
baseball are excited. Te way
that the Royals have been
winning and the way theyre
playing so well, going to extra
innings and the miracle hits,
have made it so exciting.
Johanning said its exciting
to see Lawrence residents
start to support the Royals.
He said the combination
of the Royals, the interim
head coaching regime of
Clint Bowen for the Kansas
football team, as well as the
fact that Kansas basketball is
about to start up, has made
this October a fun time of
year.
Te Wagon Wheel, located
at 507 W. 14th St., also plans
to host a large crowd of Royals
supporters throughout the
World Series. John Stout, a
senior from Wichita who
works at the Wheel, said
the atmosphere during the
Royals postseason run has
been fun and exciting.
It kind of reminds you of
March Madness, Stout said.
Everyone is cheering for one
particular team, and when
they score, everyone goes
nuts. When they win it gets
even crazier.
Amanda Pittman, a senior
from Archie, Mo., plans
to watch the World Series
games at the Wheel. Pittman
said she ofen goes there to
watch sporting events with
her friends.
I like to watch games at
bars because its fun to watch
games around a group of
people who enjoy the same
team, Pittman said.
Stout agreed with Pittmans
sentiments.
I think the more people
youre around, the more fun
it is, Stout said. You get that
excitement from the whole
crowd building it up ... I think
thats the reason why people
go to bars to watch games.

touch, how we know
whats going on in the
world, and how we find
the answers to all of the
questions we constantly
have racing through our
minds. Embarrassingly
enough, I lasted more
than two hours without
using any technology,
and boy was it rough.
How pathetic, right?
Im sure I wasnt the
only one who didnt
last very long in this
challenge. We are all
guilty of being too
wrapped up in our
different technologies.
Every morning I wake
up and immediately
want to begin my day by
catching up on gossip
on Facebook, Instagram
and Twitter. When I
couldnt do that, it was
torture. Simple things
like getting ready for
class were difficult
without technology
because I couldnt check
the weather. I was hoping
and praying I had worn
enough clothing to keep
me warm for the trudge
to class. You dont realize
how many advantages
media brings you until
you are suddenly without
it. Not only does my
phone inform me of the
temperature outside, it
helps me find my way
around town when I am
lost, and it even reminds
me of all the important
things I need to do in
order to keep my life in
check.
It was crazy how
naked I felt without
checking social media
for that short period
of time. But even
though we choose to
consume ourselves with
technology, we cant
take all the blame for
our fascination; we are
completely surrounded
by media everywhere we
go. Our world revolves
around technology, and
with more technological
advances each year,
it will only get worse.
Many professors have
required me to use
some form of media
by having more tests,
quizzes and assignments
online. I truly believe
someday classrooms
wont even exist due to
technological advances.
Technology makes
things like assignments,
getting places and
communication much
easier. This is why we, as
a nation, cant help but
take advantage of it.
Our generation is so
different from past
generations. Weve grown
up with technology, so
its really no surprise
that we cant handle
being without it for
long periods of time.
Children now are more
wrapped up in media
than ever before, to
the point that a cell
phone in the hand of
an 8-year-old isnt an
uncommon thing to see.
Since this assignment,
I have realized we all
should spend more time
interacting in person
and enjoying life, rather
than constantly being
preoccupied by the social
media on our phones.

Future is much brighter than movies and shows display
R
emember when
the future was
bright? It used to
seem that every futuristic
film or show was
teeming with some truly
exciting ideas flying
vehicles, robot maids and
intergalactic voyages, just
to name a few. Happiness
and comfort seemed to
abound, with technology
doing away with the
problems of the past and
logic paving the way for a
better future.
Despite the dire nature
of the near past, with
nuclear extinction
previously seeming like
an imminent possibility,
predictions of the future
were almost entirely
upbeat. In recent years,
however, it seems popular
expectations of the future
have been reduced to a
dystopian wasteland.
Film after film has
depicted humanity
destroying itself in one
way or another. If it
hasnt exhausted Earths
environment, then its
unleashed a zombie
apocalypse. If aliens
havent destroyed us,
then a dystopian order
has oppressed the world.
Indeed, it doesnt seem
any optimistic depictions
of the future exist
anymore, leading many to
become pessimistic about
the future.
An endless barrage
of bad news from the
media seems to validate
this belief. After all,
how can one be hopeful
when vicious animals
like ISIS haunt the
Earth and diseases like
Ebola continue to claim
thousands of lives around
the world?
Despite these difficulties,
the perception of futility
is seriously misguided.
We live in an age of
unprecedented progress.
According to the World
Banks Poverty and
Inequality Team, global
economic inequality has
declined substantially
since the 1990s as
developing nations are
catching up economically.
Global poverty has
halved from 43 percent
in 1990 to 21 percent
in 2010, according to
The Economist. Medical
advances and growing
access to food and
water have pushed the
global life expectancy
to 70 years, up from 63
years in 1990, according
to The World Health
Organization.
Beyond the numbers,
look at the situation
that faces our world
today. The main threat
that faces us is not a
nuclear contest between
superpowers or an
all-out global war. No,
its a scattered array
of extremist thugs
who distort religious
doctrines in order to
justify violence.
Environmental
consciousness is higher
than its ever been. Civil
rights, both at home and
abroad, continue their
slow march forward.
We walk around with
electronic devices that
were just pure fantasy a
generation ago these
are certainly not causes
for pessimism.
Indeed, when one steps
back and looks at the big
picture, there appears to
be very few reasons for
pessimism. It would be
nice to once again see
films that show us the
boundless potential of
the future, rather than
the cynical underbelly of
possibility. It would be
nice to see what we might
all accomplish together
one day.

Lawrence band Cowboy
Indian Bear announced its
split Oct. 16. Former mem-
ber CJ Calhoun posted the
announcement to the bands
Facebook account to inform
fans of the news. Te band
formed in 2008 and consisted
of Calhoun and Marty Hil-
lard from Topeka, Beau Bruns
from Oskaloosa, and Katlyn
Conroy and Danny Bowersox
from Lawrence.
It is all very amicable, Cal-
houn said. Tey are my best
friends for the rest of my life.
We are all just doing lots of
diferent things personally
and musically right now. It is
just harder to ask everyone to
be on the same page sched-
ule-wise. Te band sort of
ran its course. Our last album
achieved what I personally
wanted Cowboy to achieve,
and I feel that we really suc-
ceeded.
Along with the announce-
ment of the split, Cowboy
posted an unreleased song
called Ive Got a Home,
which is available for free
download and can be found
on the bands Facebook pro-
fle.
Troughout the bands
7-year history, it played more
than 200 shows in locations
across the country, including
opening for Florence and Ma-
chine.
I have some amazing mem-
ories from our tours, Conroy
said. Te guys are my best
friends in the entire world.
Getting to hang out with them
for weeks upon weeks was the
best part.
All band members will be
working on separate musical
projects going forward, such
as Hillards project Ebony
Tusks, a rap group, and Bow-
ersoxs band called Spirit of
the Spirit. Conroy is working
on her solo project under the
name La Guerre, a French
word meaning war. Her new
album Sapphires will be
coming out in January, and
she will be playing the Austin,
Texas, music festival South by
Southwest in March. Calhoun
will also be releasing a new re-
cord early next year as part of
his solo act, Bonvo Madrid.
Calhoun said his favorite
memory from the band is
from a show they played at
Te Bottleneck in 2013.
Tere was a point in time
when I looked out at the
crowd, Calhoun said. A lot
of people were there, and ev-
eryone was singing along. I
felt like I was really achieving
what I wanted to, and it was
extremely fulflling.
In June of this year, Cowboy
played at the Field Day Fest at
Te Bottleneck. Te members
knew this show would be their
last, but did not make an an-
nouncement to anyone, keep-
ing it to themselves.
I just wanted to enjoy one
last show playing with my best
friends, Calhoun said.

Jessica Janasz lives in Prai-
rie Village and ofen travels
along Interstate 35. When she
comes up on Broadway Street
afer Mission Road and catch-
es a glimpse of the Kansas
City, Mo., skyline, she is in
awe every time.
It encompasses where you
live, where home is, Janasz
said.
Tree years ago, the 2012
University graduate from
Overland Park stumbled upon
a neon-colored New York sky-
line print by artist John Lewis.
It immediately caught her eye.
As a creative photographer,
she decided to try her hand
at a new trade. Afer research-
ing the history and design
of Kansas Citys well-known
buildings, she found that its
style was Art Deco. Janasz
designed a skyline print with
bold colors and geometric
shapes and posted it onto
Facebook.
I wasnt trying to make it go
anywhere, Janasz said. It was
just a fun little project.
Although her skylines are
design-oriented and Kansas
Citys architectural style is
Art Deco, she said the style
also speaks to the heart and
spirit of the city.
Te era of Art Deco rep-
resented a time when people
had a lot of faith in the social
and technological progress
of their city, Janasz said. If
youre from here, you have a
little bit of pride with it.
Afer creating her original
skyline design, she took a
three-year absence from the
design scene, during which
she did photography for her
business. Last month, she de-
cided to get the metal print of
the Kansas City skyline that
she had designed years earlier
to use as dcor in her home.
Her roommates instantly gave
her positive feedback, so she
decided to give it another try.
Janasz relaunched an Etsy
site for her designs and re-
ceived more than 800 views
within the frst week. Friends
and acquaintances contacted
her through social media and
encouraged her to market her
product.
Utilizing her Kansas City
contacts, Janasz landed a
three-month contract with
Ugly Glass & Company a few
weeks ago. She has a booth in
their shop that displays her
skyline prints that she has de-
signed, which will be available
until December. She has also
been working with Raygun, a
T-shirt store. A batch of her
designs sold out in just two
weeks. Dead Leaf Designs
also displays her work on First
Fridays in Kansas City.
People were just lending
out their hands to help me get
it out which was really cool,
Janasz said.
Janasz said although shes
surprised with how quick-
ly her product has taken of,
she can see how the success
of Kansas City sports teams
has played into her success.
Te Royals have made it to
the World Series and Sporting
KC has been doing well in its
season also.
I might as well take ad-
vantage of Kansas City doing
really well. So I did and thats
why I made [the KC Sports
Skyline], she said.
In light of the Royals con-
tinued success, Janasz re-
leased a Royals skyline print
of Kaufman Stadium with a
color scheme of blue. In just
one day, this print raised $200
in sales.
Her skyline prints have not
only captured Kansas City
and its sporting teams, but
other states and cities as well.
Lawrence was the second
skyline she ever designed,
which features McCollum
Hall, Allen Fieldhouse and
Fraser Hall. Janasz has also
taken on Phoenix, Houston,
Dallas and Manhattan, Kan.
Requests for others have also
come in, such as the Seat-
tle Mariners and a skyline
of buildings from diferent
cities.
Although Janasz said she has
always loved the Kansas City
skyline, she had not thought
that the skylines of other cities
could mean so much to oth-
ers. She said she didnt really
think that people who had
moved away from Kansas City
or Lawrence would be such a
huge market.
Eilleen Byrne, a 2014 gradu-
ate, purchased Janaszs skyline
of Lawrence afer she gradu-
ated and moved to Virginia.
While Byrne attended KU, she
lived in McCollum Hall. She
said she would like something
to remember it by since it will
be torn down soon.
Its a good reminder be-
cause Im nowhere near
Kansas anymore, Byrne said.
She does a really good job of
capturing the vibe of that city.
In about two weeks, Janasz
plans on receiving a ship-
ment of T-shirts with a
Royals-themed print and
hopes to keep marketing her
bold skylines to the Kan-
sas City and Lawrence areas
through social media.

According to its website,
the BurgerFi concept of pro-

Te chain has now acquired

May, and are opening their
second location in Lawrence
at 918 Massachusetts St.
According to Michelle, the
Lawrence location was orig-
inally set to open in May, but
the date kept getting pushed
back due to construction is-
sues. Michelle said they had
to adapt and make decisions

the right location and deal-
ing with construction.
One decision was to keep

NEW YORK At his
Fashion Week runway
show in September, Os-
car de la Renta sat in his
usual spot: in a chair right
inside the wings, where
he could carefully inspect
each model just as she was
about to emerge in one of
his sumptuous, impeccably
constructed designs.
At the end of the show,
the legendary designer
himself emerged, support-
ed by two of his models. He
didnt walk on his own, and
didnt go far, but he was
beaming from ear to ear.
He gave each model a peck
on the cheek, and then re-
turned to the wings, where
models and staff could be
heard cheering him enthu-
siastically.
De la Renta, who dressed
first ladies, socialites and
Hollywood stars for more
than four decades, died
Monday evening at his
Connecticut home at age
82, only six weeks after
that runway show. But not
before another high-pro-
file honor was bestowed
on him: The most famous
bride in the world, Amal
Alamuddin, wore a cus-
tom, off-the-shoulder de la
Renta gown to wed George
Clooney in Venice. Pho-
tos of the smiling designer
perched on a table at the
dress fitting appeared in
Vogue.
De la Renta died sur-
rounded by family, friends
and more than a few
dogs, according to a hand-
written statement signed
by his stepdaughter Eliza
Reed Bolen and her hus-
band, Alex Bolen. The
statement did not specify
a cause of death, but de la
Renta had spoken in the
past of having cancer.
He died exactly as he
lived: with tremendous
grace, great dignity and
very much on his own
terms, the statement said.
While our hearts are bro-
ken by the idea of life with-
out Oscar, he is still very
much with us. ... All that
we have done, and all that
we will do, is informed by
his values and his spirit.
The late 60s and early
70s were a defining mo-
ment in U.S. fashion as
New York-based designers
carved out a look of their
own that was finally taken
seriously by Europeans. De
la Renta and his peers, in-
cluding the late Bill Blass,
Halston and Geoffrey
Beene, defined American
style then and now.
De la Rentas specialty
was eveningwear, though
he also was known for
chic daytime suits favored
by the women who would
gather at the Four Seasons
or Le Cirque at lunchtime.
His signature looks were
voluminous skirts, exqui-
site embroideries and rich
colors.
De la Renta was deeply
admired by his fellow de-
signers. He set the bar,
designer Dennis Basso
said on Instagram Monday
night. But most of all he
was a refined elegant gen-
tleman.
The designers path to
New Yorks Seventh Ave-
nue took an unlikely route:
He left his native Domini-
can Republic at 18 to study
painting in Spain, but soon
became sidetracked by
fashion. The wife of the
U.S. ambassador saw some
of his sketches and asked
him to make a dress for her
daughter a dress that
landed on the cover of Life
magazine.
That led to an apprentice-
ship with Cristobal Balen-
ciaga, and then de la Renta
moved to France to work
for Lanvin. By 1963, he was
working for Elizabeth Ar-
den couture in New York,
and in 1965 he launched
his own label.
He told The Associated
Press in 2004 that his His-
panic roots had worked
their way into his designs.
I like light, color, lumi-
nosity. I like things full of
color and vibrant, he said.
While de la Renta made
Manhattan his primary
home, he often visited the
Dominican Republic and
kept a home there. Vogue
Editor-in-Chief Anna
Wintour was a frequent
visitor.
His designs reflected his
extraordinary personality:
optimistic, fun, sunny, ro-
mantic, Wintour wrote in
a remembrance on Tues-
day. He always said accept
your friends for who they
are, not for who you want
them to be. Oscar was ev-
erything you could want a
friend to be.
He also had a country
home in Kent, Connecti-
cut, where he died Monday.
Gardening and dancing
were among his favorite
diversions from work. Im
a very restless person. Im
always doing something.
The creative process never
stops, he said.

rence feel, Michelle said. She
said BurgerFi Lawrences goal
is to grow and stay involved
with the Lawrence commu-
nity.
My wife Michelle and I
spent a lot of time in Florida,
shes a body builder and nutri-
tionist so we ate there about
three days a week, Josh said.
Tey said thought it would
be great to open a location
in the Midwest. Tis year,
BurgerFi placed No. 2 in
Restaurant Businesses Future
50: Fastest Growing Restau-
rants.
Te Kurzbans decided to
open their second location
of the franchise in Lawrence
because they said they believe
the combination of all-natural
ingredients and an inviting
environment, consisting of
rock music, high-defnition
TVs and low-cost beer would
be appealing to college stu-
dents. BurgerFi is based on
locality and will be serving
local produce and beers from
Free State, Boulevard and
23rd Street breweries, Josh
said.
Te menu ofers burgers,
hot dogs, frozen custards and
concretes, as well as options
from the secret menu. Te
regular menu ofers a wide
variety of burgers including
the traditional cheeseburger,
a brisket burger and a build
your own burger. Te secret
menu consists of items such
as the supreme burger, the
alternative burger, the and
burger, the hippie veggie
and fries well done or limp,
which means the opposite of
well done.
Angus and brisket are the
only types of meat served at
BurgerFi. Josh said both meats
are from Montana and part of
the United States Department
of Agricultures Never Ever
program, meaning they nev-
er have any hormones, anti-
biotics or steroids. Tey also
have two types of all-natural
hot dogs, kobe beef and a
chicken-apple dog. Josh said
BurgerFi has a commitment
to fresh ingredients and no
frozen food except for its cus-
tard and fries, which are cut
and soaked overnight at the
restaurant.
Josh said the most popular
burger at his other chain is
the breakfast all day burg-
er, which is a beef patty with
cheese, hashbrowns, fried
egg, grilled onion, bacon,
maple syrup and ketchup. He
said Urban Fries, which are
french fries with fresh par-
mesan, herb and garlic aioli
sauce, and garlic mayo are the
most popular side. BurgerFi
also ofers a healthy bun they
call Green Style, which Josh
said is a bun made of lettuce.
BurgerFi is also working on
setting up a delivery system
for the Lawrence location.
It will be open from 11 a.m.
to 11 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday, while the restau-
rant will stay open until 3 a.m.
Tursday through Saturday.

A
fer three games as
interim head coach,
Clint Bowen has
shown he deserves to have
the interim label removed.
Sometimes in sports, there is
something beyond the win-
loss record, which stands at
0-3 for Bowen so far.
Te Jayhawks were not
blown out in any of those
three games. Because of the
play on the feld in those
three games, nobody would
have been surprised if Kansas
had pulled out the victory,
especially against Oklahoma
State two weeks ago.
In those games, Kansas
stopped being a doormat
and started attacking. Bowen
had a lot to do with why that
happened.
For one thing, Bowen
knows how to make the tough
decisions and is not afraid to
change up what isnt working.
He has said repeatedly that
players earn playing time
week by week; nothing is
ever guaranteed. Montell
Cozart might be a talented
quarterback, but he wasnt
showing that in games. Bowen
was not afraid to make the
switch to Michael Cummings,
which seems to be improving
the ofense. I believe that if
Cummings were not earning
his playing time, and Cozart
was, Bowen would make the
decision to switch back.
Another thing Bowen brings
is a culture change for Kansas
football. He bleeds crimson
and blue. He has garnered
support when it had been
running low. Bowen motivates
his players to play hard for
him.
In his frst home game,
there were more than 200
former teammates and players
who came to support him
and Kansas football. Tere
is a Facebook page titled
BOWEN should be HC,
which has more than 2,000
likes.
Tose who oppose giving
him the permanent job say
he doesnt have enough
experience, especially with the
ofensive side of the ball. He
has been at Kansas, either as
a player or a coach, for more
than two decades, but doesnt
have any head-coaching
experience. Tis is all true, but
if he shows potential, he can
learn all of it.
Head coaches should
oversee all facets of the game,
but shouldnt try to do more
than they are capable of
handling at one time. John
Reagan is capable of running
the ofense, and Bowen trusts
him to do that.
Tere are also people who
point to Bowens age, 41,
as a detractor. He is young,
but you dont have to go far
to fnd someone whose age
hasnt held him back. Klif
Kingsbury is the head coach
for Texas Tech, Kansas
opponent last Saturday, and
he is 35. To draw further
comparisons, Kingsbury
played collegiately at Texas
Tech.
Bowen might not be a fashy
hire, but he is the right one for
Kansas. If he wins even one
of the remaining games this
season, there should be no
question who the head coach
should be next year.

K
ansas football has
returned to the
cellar of the Big
12, a place it seems to call
home almost every season.
Te worst part, though, is
its not because of a lack of
talent that the Jayhawks fnd
themselves so low on the
Big 12 totem pole but rather
a lack of coaching.
Charlie Weis was a terrible
ft for the budding Jayhawk
ofense, and he was a terri-
ble ft for Montell Cozart.
John Reagan was an even
worse ft for the ofense. In
fact, Clint Bowens defense
was the only positive aspect
of a team whose ofense was
outside the top 100 in every
major passing and yardage
category. Even today they
rank 114th in the country in
yards per game and 123rd
in points per game.
Clint Bowen has brought
valuable experience as a
defensive mind to Lawrence
and has coached a defense
that is in the upper echelon
of the Big 12, and should
see at least linebacker Ben
Heeney playing on Sundays.
However, Bowen is not
a head coach. Te team
doesnt seem to have taken
on his personality, so much
as they have responded to
the athletic department
basically giving up on them.
Inserting Michael Cum-
mings was not a brilliant
move; it was like trying to
jumpstart a car with a AAA
battery connected to an
electric ice cream scooper.
Bowens defensive mind
is among the best in the
country. While the ofensive
numbers would suggest
Kansas is on the verge of
demotion to the FCS, the
defensive stats are not so
horrifc. It gives up just over
400 yards per game, is 73rd
in the country and is 79th in
points per game with 28.
However, even these stats
lie, as the defense clearly
loses steam every time its
forced out again in the
fourth quarter. I think the
recent stretch of decently
played games is more a
function of the team not
wanting to end the season
on a 10 game losing streak,
and not Bowens improved
coaching ability.
In a perfect world, Bowen
would return to coach the
defense, and Vince Lombar-
di would rise from his grave
and coach the Jayhawks.
However, Bowen has
already said he will not
step back down. I think
Kansas not only needs to
lose Bowen, but the rest of
the coaching staf, includ-
ing Reagan. Tis program
has recruited one way and
coached another, but to
play a true spread style,
the Jayhawks need a true
spread coach. Scott Frost,
the ofensive coordinator for
Oregon, remains my ideal
plausible candidate. He says
hes been itching for a head
coaching job and there are
pieces in Lawrence for him
to work with, including dual
threat talent Cozart.
Whether that happens, the
Jayhawks need a real face
lif, and Clint Bowen is not
the guy to do it.

National leagues for the frst
time since 2002.
Te Giants began quickly,

inning. Afer taking a 1-0 lead
on a double by third basemen
Pablo Sandoval, right felder
Hunter Pence hit a two-run
home run to center, scoring
Sandoval.
Kansas City starting pitcher
James Shields, whose night
was fnished afer a mere three
innings pitched. Te Royals
ace allowed fve earned runs,
with a 15.00 total ERA.
Te Giants continued their
tear in the fourth inning, add-
ing two more runs to extend
the lead to fve.
Te Royals ofense stalled

Te lone bright spot for Kan-
sas Citys hitting came in the
seventh when catcher Salva-
dor Perez homered to lef feld

Kansas not discouraged after two consecutive weekend shutouts
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
For most teams in any
sport, changes are made to
get back on the winning
track afer a two-game losing
streak, but that isnt the case
for the Kansas soccer team.
Despite dropping a pair
of games over the weekend,
both to top 25 conference
rivals, Kansass locker room
has no cause for concern,
coach Mark Francis said.
We feel like we have a good
team; we won 14 games,
Francis said. Teres a rea-
son that we won 14 games.
We just got to keep main-
taining and doing the small
things that have allowed us
to be in that situation.
Kansas lost a nailbiting
match Friday evening to
Texas Tech 1-0. According
to both Francis and junior
midfelder Liana Salazar,
the lone goal was a once-in-
a-lifetime goal, and Texas
Techs forward likely wont
hit it again in her career. But
it was enough to lif the Red
Raiders over the Jayhawks.
For Kansas, there are plen-
ty of positives to take away
from the match.
I thought we played well,
and in the second half I
thought there were glimps-
es where we looked really
good, Francis said. We have
to stick to what were good at.
When we start to play long
or bang it in the box from
deep, things like that, were
not good at that. When we
stick with what were good at,
were pretty good, so we have
to be more consistent.
Te Jayhawks were denied
a comeback victory Sunday
against West Virginia, which
won 2-0. Te Mountaineers,
who were projected to win
the Big 12 this season, made
some key plays defensively,
and their goalkeeper refused
to allow a Kansas shot be-
tween the pipes.
Francis said his Jayhawks
played one of the best games
hes seen out of his players in
many years, and, although
they lost their second con-
ference game, they have
nothing to hang their heads
about.
I thought the second half
was the best 45 minutes
weve played all year, Fran-
cis said. We were phenom-
enal in the second half. I
think if you ask [West Vir-
ginias] staf, they would say
the same thing. We were all
over them.
Salazar, who is second in
the Big 12 with nine goals,
agrees with her coach.
Were playing good, Sala-
zar said. Its just soccer, its
just like that sometimes.
Even though the Jayhawks
likely will not win the con-
ference afer last weekends
two losses, there is still a lot
to play for leading up to the
conference tournament, and
eventually, the NCAA Tour-
nament.
A rematch against West Vir-
ginia in the near future could
happen, but Francis said he
has no plans to change any-
thing if the matchup with the
Mountaineers takes place in
Kansas City, Mo.
Were coming of of a half
where weve played as well as
weve played all year, Fran-
cis said. Tat has to be the
level and the standard that
we expect now from here on
out as the minimum that we
should be playing. If thats
the case, then were starting
to play very, very well at the
right time.

L
ast season, the Big 12
was a powerhouse of
college basketball excel-
lence. Te conference fnished
top in the RPI rankings and
had an astounding 70 percent
of its teams reach the NCAA
tournament.
For the past 10 seasons, the
Big 12 has belonged to Bill
Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.
With the longest active confer-
ence winning streak, Kansas
will go into the 2014-15
campaign looking to extend its
streak to 11.
Even with the departures
of Andrew Wiggins and Joel
Embiid, the Jayhawks still sit
atop the preseason confer-
ence projections. Teir No. 4
ranked recruiting class in the
nation is largely responsible
for that.
Te two rookies at Kansas,
Clif Alexander and Kelly
Oubre, I really think both of
them will make an impact,
Chip Patterson of CBS Sports
said. I think theyve had such
great talent at Kansas that
Perry Ellis gets overshadowed.
I think Perry Ellis is their best
player, at least in regards to
production, and I think Perry
Ellis will be in [the Player of
the Year] discussion.
Junior Perry Ellis was named
to the All-Big 12 Preseason
Team. With Wiggins gone
and the rest of the roster still
young, Ellis will be the teams
go-to scoring option this
season.
Ellis has already won two
Big 12 championships at Kan-
sas, and if he hopes to keep
his perfect championship slate
clean, he will really have to
step into a leadership role on
the court.
Oubre, Alexander and fresh-
man Devonte Graham are all
large parts of Kansas recruit-
ing class. Alexander hopes
to ft in down low to replace
the big bodies of Embiid and
Tarik Black. Oubre is a strong
wing player with lock-down
defense similar to Wiggins,
and Graham is one of the frst
true point guards Kansas has
had in a while.
Kansas is not the only Big 12
team with a strong incoming
recruiting class. Texas is bring-
ing in the No. 2 center in the
nation in Myles Turner, who
chose Texas over Kansas.
Turner and Alexander will
have a lot of battles down low
in the two meetings between
potential Big 12 powerhouses.
Kansas has Iowa State to worry
about, as well.
Iowa State coach Fred
Hoiberg is quietly becoming
one of the best coaches in the
nation, and is projected as
the preseason Big 12 coach of
the year. Iowa State thrives at
receiving transfer students, as
they have had three out of the
last four Big 12 newcomers of
the year.
Kansas will have trouble
fending of Texas and Iowa
State at the top of the Big 12
this season, but with coach Bill
Self on the sidelines, Ive got
my money on the Jayhawks
taking home an 11th straight
Big 12 regular season title.

LIANA SALAZAR
Junior midelder
Jayhawks to face inconsistent Iowa State
Afer dropping its frst three
Big 12 matches of the season,
the Kansas volleyball team
(15-5, 3-3) bounced back in
a big way over the past week,
winning all three of its match-
es while sweeping the Big 12s
weekly individual awards.
Te Jayhawks will look to
continue their hot streak
Wednesday when they travel
to Ames, Iowa, to take on Iowa
State (10-7, 2-4).
We had a good week and
can get right back into the
top-half of the league stand-
ings, coach Ray Bechard said.
At 3-3 in the league and 15-5
overall, weve done that, but
weve got a huge week coming
up at Iowa State and with Tex-
as Tech at home. If we could
fnish on a positive note afer
the frst half of Big 12 play, I
think that sets us up with real-
ly good momentum.
Tough taking on Iowa State
on the road wont be the eas-
iest environment in which to
keep that momentum, the Cy-
clones have won their last six
games within the confnes of
Hilton Coliseum.
Teyre good at home, Be-
chard said. Teyve got some
great support, theyve played
at a high level for the past sev-
eral years, and Im sure thats
not going to be diferent when
we roll in there on Wednes-
day.
Outside of its recent string
of success at home, Iowa State
has been anything but con-
sistent, managing just a 5-5
record over its past 10 con-
tests. Teir last time out, the
Cyclones fell in fve sets to
Texas Tech despite gaining an
early 2-1 advantage. But the
week prior, they handed a tal-
ented Oklahoma squad its frst
Big 12 loss of the season in an
impressive four-set victory.
Despite its inconsistencies,
Iowa State sits atop the Big 12
in a number of statistical cat-
egories, including kills (14.03
per set), assists (13.31 per set)
and digs (16.43 per set). It is
led by freshman outside hit-
ter Alexis Conaway (2.22 kills
per set, .337 hitting percent-
age) and sophomore setter
Suzanne Horner (11.20 assists
per set, 2.16 digs per set).
Te Jayhawks are fresh of
snagging all three of the con-
ferences weekly individual
awards for the frst time in
team history. Sophomore
middle blocker Tayler Souc-
ie, sophomore libero Cassie
Wait and freshman setter Ain-
ise Havili were all honored.
Soucie was awarded Ofensive
Player of the Week, Wait won
Defensive Player of the Week
and Havili took Big 12 Rookie
of the Week.
All of them are very deserv-
ing and its fun to see them get-
ting recognized, but well see it
as team recognition as well,
Bechard said.
Soucie recorded the best
game of her young career last
Saturday against TCU, notch-
ing a career-high 16 kills on
a ridiculous .652 hitting per-
centage. Bechard has stressed
the importance in setting up
the Jayhawks middle blockers
with more opportunities as of
late and that added emphasis
has been apparent over the
teams past few matches.
