Amid all the food, games,

music and lights, 550 participants

filled the Kansas Union Ballroom
Saturday to do their part to help
children coping with disease.
Students stayed on their feet for
12 straight hours in honor of
hospitalized kids.
The University hosted its fifth
Dance Marathon last Saturday,
a program sponsored by the
Childrens Miracle Network that
raises money for hospitalized
children and their families.
The University is the second
school in the country to host two
Dance Marathons in a year; the
first marathon was in February.
Saturdays Dance Marathon
raised $61,032.88, and $60,040.70
was raised during Februarys
event, equaling $121,073.58 this
year. One-hundred percent of the
proceeds go to sick children and
their families.
Twenty of these families attend-
ed Saturdays event. Students are
able to show solidarity with the
Miracle Children by wearing
hospital bracelets throughout the
marathon that are taken off by
the kids at the end of the night.
C a r l y
Adams, a
senior from
Sedgwi ck,
participat-
ed in the
marat hon
for the sec-
ond time
this year.
She said
that getting to know the kids and
hearing their stories is inspiring.
At the end of the day, we can
take off our hospital bracelets,
but they cant, Adams said.
Around the World was the
theme for this years marathon.
Each hour represented a different
country with food and music.
Genuine Imitation, an a cap-
pella group from the school of
music, kicked off the marathon
with a performance accompanied
by the African Drum Ensemble.
Simultaneous games of flip cup
stretched from the ballroom
entrance to
the stage.
The Miracle
C h i l d r e n
and student
dancers also
played a
human ver-
sion of foos-
ball.
Participants and the Miracle
Children learned a morale dance
to do together at the end of the
marathon. Different sections of
the dance were designated to a
specific country.
Emily Jones, a sophomore
from Lindsborg, said the dance
marathon was a lot of fun for the
kids, as well as a valuable experi-
ence for students.
The morale dance tied togeth-
er the theme of the marathon in a
way that we could share with the
Miracle Children, Jones said.
Students could also partici-
pate in Dance Dance Revolution,
Zumba and yoga with the kids.
Mike Marcus, a sophomore
from Shawnee, danced in the
marathon this year for a more
personal reason. He grew up with
one of the Miracle Children and
wanted to support him in the best
way possible.
Theres no current cure for his
disease, so hes constantly fight-
ing, Marcus said. Being part of a
cause and helping him find a cure
means a lot to me.

Lawrence public safety
officials are asking the public
for information about a string of
arsons being investigated at local
apartment complexes.
The fires were intentionally
set between Oct. 19 and Nov. 4
between West 23rd Street and
West 25th Street and from Iowa
to Naismith Drive, according to a
City of Lawrence press release.
Eve Tolefree, a fire department
division chief, would not specify
exact locations or dates for
the arsons, citing the needs of
an ongoing investigation. The
University Daily Kansan filed an
open records request for more
information about the suspected
arsons and the investigation.
The most recent fire reported in
the area was at 3:45 a.m. Sunday
morning on the 1700 block of
West 24th Street. Calls to the fire
department for additional details
were not imme diately returned.
Complexes near the area have
issued notices to residents.
The notice said the fires were
started using paper found in
hallways or dumpsters.
I dont know who is doing it or
for what reason, but it is a really
scary situation, said Ramesh
Dugar, a graduate student from
India.
The fire department visited
Dugars complex last week to
talk to residents and offer safety
tips. Dugar said the complex
recently had the smoke alarms in
his apartment checked to ensure
everything was working properly.
They are trying to do their best
for what is within their limits,
Dugar said. All I can do is just
keep spreading the word and
making sure follow the tips to
keep things stronger and tighter.
Tips include checking smoke
alarms and knowing safe exit
and fire extinguisher locations.
Residents should remove and
properly dispose of any notices
left on their doors and properly
dispose of trash in the dumpster
after taking it outside. No
combustible materials should
be stored on patios, balconies,
hallways and exit-ways.
Residents should contact
property management or the
fire department at 830-7000
for assistance checking smoke
alarms.
Anyone with information
about the fires should contact
Lawrence Police at 830-7430, the
TIPS Hotline at 843-TIPS or the
fire department at 830-7065. All
callers can remain anonymous.

When Sarah Roberts, a gradu-
ate student from Carlsband, New
Mexico, began her online masters
program in special education last
year at the University, she was skep-
tical about how much she could get
out of a class that never meets face to
face. But now, in her third semester,
Roberts is pleasantly surprised at
how much she has gained from her
online class experience.
Roberts specific program, transi-
tion services, aims to assist disabled
students to adjust from secondary
education to their working life. With
only a few programs currently in
existence, Roberts online classmates
live throughout the United States.
One of the benefits is that you
learn about transition services all
over the country, Roberts said.
Everyone is a teacher.
Julie Loats, director of the Center
for Online and Distance Learning,
said Roberts and her classmates are
part of the Universitys shift to offer
more classes and entire programs
online.
Loats said more than 2,100 KU
students are currently enrolled in
more than 100 online classes taught
by more than 90 faculty members.
While many of these include gen-
eral education classes, there are some
masters programs like Roberts
that are offered almost entirely
online.
Many online degree programs are
typically targeted at adult popula-
tions, Loats said.
Some students use online classes
to meet their disability needs or to
work around schedule conflicts. And
while Roberts has the flexibility to
take classes face to face, she appreci-
ates that her fellow students, many
of whom work full time and have
families, have access to a top-rated
program. The online forum engages
all students to participate and gener-
ate thoughtful responses to the mate-
rial, she said.
James Basham, a professor of
special education, has taught online
classes since 1999.
For faculty, they take a good deal
of up-front time to design and man-
age, Basham said. Depending on
how online courses are designed,
they can provide flexibility so we can
more easily manage our teaching,
research and service schedules.
Andres Ramos, a senior from
Lawrence, could not fit Anatomy
and Physiology into his schedule
last spring, so he decided to enroll in
the online version instead.
It was good for my schedule,
Ramos said. If I didnt have the
online option, I couldnt have gotten
a biomedical concentration.
While Ramos appreciated the flex-
ibility his online class afforded, he
did not find the course to be as chal-
lenging as he expected the face-to-
face class would be.
With the online course, you only
learn in depth enough to pass the
online homework, which are all mul-
tiple choice, Ramos said. I would
have gotten a better sense of how
each section of the class related to
each other in an actual class.
As for the future of online classes
at the University, Loats expects they
will be used more and more, and
more classes will be utilizing both
online and face-to-face interaction
for learning. In the summer 2013
semester, classes will be be classified
as hybrid to reflect this combina-
tion.
Roberts is graduating next spring
and she feels her online degree pro-
gram will provide her valuable skills
for the workforce.
Its really built up my teaching
tool kit because everyone is sharing
their experiences, Roberts said.

Leading feminist activist
to speak at Lied Center
Lilly Ledbetter, who fought for equal
pay for women, will speak at the Wood-
ruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union
tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Congress passed the Lilly Ledbet-
ter Fair Pay Act, and President Obama
signed it into law in 2009. This act is
an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of
1964, and it addresses the decision of
the Supreme Court in Ledbetter v. Good-
year Tire & Rubber Co. According to the
University Press Release, Ledbetter dis-
covered she was paid less for the same
work as her male peers after working for
the company for almost 20 years.
I think it will be fascinating and very
relevant, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, pro-
gram director for the Emily Taylor Wom-
ens Resource Center. When you look
at the issues of pay equity, it is just so
critical for women. That is the essential
component of womens freedom be-
ing able to support yourself with a livable
wage.
Ledbetters speech, titled And Justice
for All? Why Equal Pay for Women Matters
to Everyone, will be followed by a book
signing of her memoir, Grace and Grit,
which was released in February and fo-
cuses on her case for equal pay.

Navajo Code talker to
receive degree
World War II Navajo Code Talker and
former student Chester Nez will receive
his diploma from the University today.
At 91 years old, Nez is the only remain-
ing living code talker of the original 29
who served during World War II. Overall,
420 Code Talkers served during the war.
Nez attended the University in 1952
before moving to New Mexico.
Chester Nezs contributions as a
Navajo Code Talker and his pursuit of a
BFA degree after World War II are excep-
tional, said Danny Anderson, dean of
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
in a press release. The awarding of this
diploma symbolizes our aspirations for
our graduates to have an impact on the
world.
Though he did not complete a degree,
Nez studied fne arts at the University as
part of the GI Bill. Anderson will pres-
ent Nezs diploma at 11 a.m. at the Lied
Center Pavilion as part of the Universitys
Native Heritage Month. Kansas First Lady
Mary Brownback will attend the event.

WASHINGTON Its not just
the economy, stupid. Its the demo-
graphics the changing face of
America.
The 2012 elections drove home
trends that have been embedded
in the fine print of birth and death
rates, immigration statistics and
census charts for years.
America is rapidly getting more
diverse, and, more gradually, so is
its electorate.
Nonwhites made up 28 percent
of the electorate this year, com-
pared with 20 percent in 2000.
Much of that growth is coming
from Hispanics.
The trend has worked to the
advantage of President Barack
Obama two elections in a row now
and is not lost on Republicans por-
ing over the details of Tuesdays
results.
Obama captured a commanding
80 percent of the growing ranks
of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as
he did in 2008. Republican Mitt
Romney won 59 percent of non-
Hispanic whites.
Romney couldnt win even
though he dominated among
white men and outperformed 2008
nominee John McCain with that
group. Its an ever-shrinking slice
of the electorate and of America
writ large.
White men made up 34 percent
of the electorate this year, down
from 46 percent in 1972.
The new electorate is a lagging
indicator of the next America, says
Paul Taylor of the Pew Research
Center. We are midpassage in a
century-long journey from the
middle of the last century, when
we were nearly a 90 percent white
nation, to the middle of this com-
ing century, when we will be a
majority minority nation.
Another trend that will be shap-
ing the future electorate is the
stronger influence of single women.
They vote differently from men
and from women who are married.
Fifty-four percent of single women
call themselves Democrats; 36 per-
cent of married women do.
With women marrying later
and divorcing more, single women
made up 23 percent of voters in the
2012 election, compared with 19
percent in 2000.
The changing electorate has
huge implications for public policy
and politics.
Suddenly, immigration overhaul
seems a lot more important, for
one thing.
Ask white voters about the prop-
er role of government, for another,
and 60 percent think it should do
less. Ask Hispanics the same ques-
tion, and 58 percent think the gov-
ernment should do more, as do 73
percent of blacks, exit polls show.
You can hear it in the voice of
Alicia Perez, a 31-year-old immi-
gration attorney who voted last
week at a preschool in Ysleta,
Texas.
I trust the government to take
care of us, she said. I dont trust
the Republican Party to take care
of people.
Sure, the elections biggest issue,
the economy, affects everyone. But
the voters deciding who should
tackle it were quite different from
the makeup of the 1992 Its the
economy, stupid race that elected
Democrat Bill Clinton as presi-
dent.
Look no further than the battle-
ground states of Campaign 2012
for political ramifications flowing
from the countrys changing demo-
graphics.
New Western states have
emerged as the Hispanic popula-
tion there grows. In Nevada, for
example, white voters made up 80
percent of the electorate in 2000;
now theyre at 64 percent. The
share of Hispanics in the state elec-
torate has grown to 19 percent;
Obama won 70 percent of their
votes.
Obama won most of the battle-
grounds with a message that was
more in sync than Romneys with
minorities, women and younger
voters, and by carefully targeting
his grassroots mobilizing efforts to
reach those groups.
The minorities will vote, said
demographer Frey. The question
is will their vote be split more
across the two parties than it was
this time?
In North Carolina, where
Romney narrowly defeated Obama,
42 percent of black voters said they
had been contacted on behalf of
Obama, compared with just 26 per-
cent of whites, exit polls showed.
Obama got just 31 percent of the
states white vote, but managed to
keep it competitive by claiming
96 percent of black voters and 68
percent of Hispanics.
Young voters in the state, two-
thirds of whom backed Obama,
also were more often the target of
Obamas campaign than Romneys:
35 percent said they were con-
tacted by Obama, 11 percent by
Romney.

BUENOS AIRES Angry over
infation, crime and corruption,
hundreds of thousands of Argen-
tines of all ages fooded the capi-
tals streets for nearly four hours to
protest against President Cristina
Fernandez in Argentinas biggest
anti-government demonstration in
years.
In a Tursday night march or-
ganized on social media, demon-
strators flled the Plaza de Mayo in
front of the pink presidential palace
and also crowded around the citys
iconic obelisk chanting: Were not
afraid.
Protesters stayed peaceful, and
the outpouring had the air of a
family afair. Toddlers in strollers
and grandparents in wheelchairs
joined in the masses that marched
through downtown Buenos Aires
until nearly midnight.
People banged on pots, whistled
and waved the Argentine fag. Tey
held banners that read: Stop the
wave of Argentines killed by crime,
enough with corruption and say no
to the constitutional reform.
Fernandezs critics are angry over
the countrys high infation, violent
crime and high-profle corruption,
and many worry that the president
will try to hold onto power by end-
ing constitutional term limits.
Demonstrators held up signs ac-
cusing the president of arrogance.
While some featured a lengthy list
of demands, others simply said
basta enough.
JERUSALEM Israeli forces
struck targets in the Gaza Strip
on Sunday, killing one Palestinian
and wounding more than 30 oth-
ers as militants launched dozens
of rockets in some of the heavi-
est fghting the area has seen in
months.
Te fare-up increased pres-
sure on the Israeli government to
put an end to the violence, which
escalated over the weekend and
could turn into a major confagra-
tion just two months before the
countrys general election.
Israeli leaders amped up their
rhetoric, warning Gazas Islamic
Hamas rulers they will pay a heavy
price should they allow rocket fre
toward Israel to continue.
Te world must understand
that Israel will not sit idly in the
face of attempts to attack us, said
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. We are prepared to
intensify the response.
Nearly four years ago, before
the last national election, Israel
carried out a broad military of-
fensive in Gaza to stop years of
rocket fre. Some 1,400 Palestin-
ians were killed in the operation,
including hundreds of civilians.
Since then, sporadic rocket fre
has continued, but Gazas Hamas
rulers have largely refrained from
major rocket attacks.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud
Barak rejected the suggestion that
Israels upcoming Jan. 22 elections
could afect the governments re-
sponse to the current round of
violence.
I dont think the elections have
to have any efect on our response,
he said. It shouldnt cause us to
refrain from acting, its not hand-
cufng us. But it shouldnt pro-
voke us to take an opportunity to
launch an operation.
Te coastal strip is home to
numerous militant groups, in-
cluding murky al-Qaida-inspired
organizations that do not answer
to Hamas.
YANGON, Myanmar A
strong earthquake of magni-
tude-6.8 struck northern Myanmar
on Sunday, collapsing a bridge and
a gold mine, damaging several old
Buddhist pagodas and leaving as
many as 12 people feared dead.
A slow release of official infor-
mation left the actual extent of
the damage unclear after Sunday
mornings strong quake. Myanmar
has a poor official disaster response
system, despite having lost upward
of 140,000 people to a devastating
cyclone in 2008.
Myanmars second-biggest city
of Mandalay reported no casual-
ties or major damage as the near-
est major population center to the
main quake Mandalay lies about
117 kilometers (72 miles) south of
the quakes epicenter near the town
of Shwebo.
Smaller towns closer to the main
quakes epicenter were worse hit.
The area surrounding the epicen-
ter is underdeveloped, and casualty
reports were coming in piecemeal,
mostly from local media.
Independently compiled tallies
suggested a death toll of about a
dozen.

I am the president of the

So says acting titan Daniel
Day-Lewis, midway through
another Oscar-minted perfor-
mance in Steven Spielbergs
Lincoln, the latest in a long
and colorful line of presidential
biopics.
Although Lincoln only cov-
ers the last four months of Honest
Abes life before his appointment
with destiny at Fords Theatre,
Spielbergs film is a sturdy exam-
ple of the traditional biopic: a
historical drama that relies on
towering performances and a
swelling soundtrack to condense
the messy confluence of a per-
sons life into two hours of easily
digestible entertainment.
The stories of our Commanders
in Chief will always make for
compelling cinema, perhaps
because executive power itself
is so enticingly cinematic. With
the exception of certain athletes
and inexplicably famous reality
stars, presidents are the clos-
est thing we Americans have
to royalty. Their triumphs and
tribulations can reflect our own
power-driven fantasies. Just as
theater-goers in Shakespeares
London hungered for dramati-
zations of kingly ambition and
courtly intrigue, we too yearn
for a glimpse into the public and
private lives of our leaders.
Lincolns life in particular has
proven irresistible fodder for
filmmakers. The great John Ford
set the bar high in 1939, when
he directed Young Mr. Lincoln
with Henry Fonda as the promis-
ing young lawyer fated to salvage
the soul of a nation. The film is
a largely fictionalized account
of Lincolns young adulthood,
focusing on how his law practice
paved the way for his actions as
president.
The small screen has also
been employed to great effect
when examining lesser-known
presidents and their impact on
history. Before achieving main-
stream acclaim with The Kings
Speech, Tom Hooper helmed
the brilliant John Adams for
HBO. The miniseries starred
Paul Giamatti as Adams and
centered on the second presi-
dents ideological clashes with
rival Thomas Jefferson (Stephen
Dillane).
Director and professional
provocateur Oliver Stone is per-
haps the unequivocal authority
on presidential biopics, having
made no less than three of them
himself. His first biopic released
in 1991, JFK, is less a medi-
tation on Kennedys life than
a byzantine exploration of the
conspiracies surrounding his
death by an assassins bullet in
Dallas. Nixon, with Anthony
Hopkins in the title role, paints
Tricky Dick as a Machiavellian
wheeler-dealer, fundamentally
warped by his strict Quaker
upbringing and an inborn lust
for treachery. Both movies were
praised by critics and roundly
dismissed by historians as risible
politicking.
Stones W, strategically
released just prior to the 2008
election, offered a surprisingly
tame (some would say tooth-
less) analysis of George W. Bush,
played by Josh Brolin as a born-
again bumbler granted a clear
path to the White House as com-
pensation for years spent liv-
ing in the shadow of his father
and comparatively intelligent
younger brother. Some attacked
the film as cheap and malicious;
others argued Stone hadnt gone
far enough. The only effective
element I can remember was
Bob Dylans With God On Our
Side playing over the end cred-
its.
Spielberg, one of Hollywoods
true pragmatists, delayed the
opening of Lincoln until this
Friday to avoid allegations of
trying to influence the elec-
tion. His film, which chronicles
Lincolns frantic attempts to pass
the 13th Amendment before the
Confederacys official surrender,
now serves as a reminder of
the presidencys unique power
to refocus partisan gridlock or
transcend it all together, a poten-
tial President Obama would be
wise to embrace during his sec-
ond term. A few public speak-
ing lessons from Mr. Day-Lewis
wouldnt hurt either.

lections officials in
Florida tallied up the
votes on Saturdayfour
days after the rest of the nation
managed to count theirsthus
bringing the election season to
a close.
No more debates, no more
attack ads, no more millionaire
politicians asking for $5 hand-
outs and no more Facebook
posts from your friends offer-
ing their best political punditry.
We are finally finished with
this historic election, but whats
so historic about this one?
For starters, Americas first
black president was re-elected.
With the election of Barack
Hussein Obama, a very distinct
message was sent to every one
who resides in this country:
Racism is officially 100 percent
unacceptable. Granted, many of
us already knew this. However,
the election, and re-election, of a
black person to our highest office
reinforced this fact like no other
achievement could.
I agree with Young Jeezy. They
should put President Obamas
face on the $5,000 dollar bill.
Secondly, Obamacare will be
the law of the land, and health-
care is now a right. As the debate
is now over, I would like to put to
rest one asinine argument.
In the warped minds of many
conservatives, the extension of
heath care to all citizens infringes
upon personal libertya liberty
grounded in classic American
Liberalism that promotes self-
determination and rugged indi-
vidualism.
They bemoan entitlements and
redistribution, incorrectly iden-
tifying them as the apparatuses
of socialism or the harbingers for
the end of America. They forget
that their prized ideology extends
to all, not just themselves, and
that self-determination falls
beyond the scope of civil rights.
It is a human right.
In America, we do not have
to prove our political rights
such as our rights to free speech,
to vote, and to protest. As U.S.
citizens, we are all equalevery
one of us.
Our social rights are universal,
too. These rights guarantee our
right to subsistence sufficient
to survival and independence.
Gwendolyn Mink, professor at
Smith College, said, Where
political rights assume equality
among the individuals who pos-
ses them, social rights enable
equality by countervailing
inequalities among individuals.
Even the most hardened leftist
must admit capitalism has won.
In fact, most liberals surrendered
to this idea soon after World
War II, rendering conservatives
charge of socialism incorrect
and inane.
Because of the viscous nature
of capitalism, a system that
inherently creates winners and
losers, social rights mitigate the
damages done to those who dont
win.
The lame protest that health
care for all infringes on liberty
stems from twisted logic and an
un-American spirit.
The charge comes from a
place of privilegea privilege
bestowed upon middle to upper
class Americans by a not-so-free
market, which has historically
granted subsidies to big business-
es, decimated cities and created
the urban poor. Capitalism inher-
ently breeds inequality. As is said
in economics, Theres no such
thing as a free lunch. Privilege
comes with a cost, and its more
than one pays by merely working
hard. There are externalities, and
entire populations have become
just that.
Independence and self-deter-
mination is a fundamental right
for every American, not for the
middle and upper classes alone.
To reserve this right for a seg-
ment of our population resembles
aristocratic notions Americas
founding fathers despised the
most.
So those that have the privilege
of a higher education, the means
to raise a family and opportunity
for a career need to honestly look
themselves in the mirrorthere
they will find their missing lib-
erty.
By broadening the rights of all,
such as extending health care to
every citizen, we come closer to
achieving the ideas our country
cherishes the most: the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Until every American
has this right, we still have work
to do.

Hey, I know you want to see, but
dont stand on the benches in Allen
Fieldhouse!
How to spot freshmen: Theyre the
ones sitting at basketball games.
If you have to drink at a basketball
game, you are an alcoholic.
Just in case anyone was wondering...
You can, in fact, hear Allen Fieldhouse
all the way on Iowa Street.
All these freshmen came to the frst
game of the season... to throw paper
airplanes around. Go back to high
school.
Mad props to the guys with the letters
at the basketball games. You guys are
awesome.
Maybe some of you havent fgured
it out yet, but were not doing that
spinning thing on free throws. It looks
dumb. End of argument.
Now that Gatorade is a sponsor, are
they going to start loading the T-shirt
cannon with Gatorade?!
Dont worry, Withey. Youre not tall.
Youre just big boned.
If I was a good looking girl, I would
talk to loser guys on the bus just to
make their day.
Hahahahahahahaha Lakers.
Sometimes I wonder if Jeff Withey
actually reads the FFAs... If you do,
I expect the word bamboo to be in
the next FFA.
Am I the only one who has gotten
kicked off the Safe Bus?
The number of people wooing during
the chant is too damn high!
Sometimes I drink water just to
surprise my liver.
To the couple making out in the art
and design building Saturday night...
I saw you.

I
n case you havent read
any of my columns pretty
much ever, Ill go ahead and
out myself as a flaming femi-
nist. I feel like this gives some
necessary context to help you
understand why a little more
than two months ago, when the
Democratic National Convention
came along, I felt as if someone
had just given me a lifetime sup-
ply of kittens.
If you didnt manage to catch
the DNC, I was overjoyed because
of the amount of amazing women
that spoke at the convention:
Cecile Richards, Eva Longoria,
Sandra Fluke, Nancy Pelosi and
many more added their voices
to a conversation and political
season where womens rights and
the importance of women voters
rose to the national stage in a way
few could have predicted. I rode
the roller coaster of political feel-
ings, going from feeling angry,
to feeling uplifted, to feeling way
impressed that our First Lady
closed her speech with Beyonces
Get Me Bodied.
And then, of course, there was
Lily Ledbetter. A woman I paid
attention to not just because shes
a leading activist in womens
rights for pay equity, not just
because it was she who lent her
name to one of the first pieces
of legislation President Obama
signed after his inauguration
in 2009, not just because she
was a lovely and intelligent
presenter, but because I knew
that she was soon going to be at
the University of Kansas today
at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Jana
Mackey Lecture Series.
The Jana Mackey lecture series
was established by the Emily
Taylor Center for Women and
Gender Equity in honor of Jana
Mackey, a former student at the
University of Kansas who was
murdered by her ex-boyfriend
in 2008. Jana received an under-
graduate degree in Women,
Gender, and Sexuality Studies
at the University and studied at
the KU School of Law, as well.
She was incredibly involved in
Commission on the Status of
Women, the Universitys feminist
group, was an advocate and fre-
quent volunteer with survivors
of sexual assault and domestic
violence, and was a believer in
true equality. Jana was, in short,
a woman whose life no one ever
thought would be cut short by
domestic violence.
She was intelligent, passionate
and a testimony to the fact that in
a culture where we breed hate and
discrimination towards women
and gender-nonconforming indi-
viduals, violence is perhaps the
only facet of life that does not
discriminate.
The Jana Mackey Lecture
Series was established to bring
speakers to campus to advocate
on the injustices facing women
that Jana spent her life combating.
Now, some might question why
Lily Ledbetter is speakingwhat
does receiving a paycheck less
than your male coworker and
being brutally murdered have to
do with one another?
But pay equity relates to
domestic violence because
instances of oppression do not
exist in isolation to one another.
Rather, they are interwoven,
building layers and layers of
injustice to strengthen systems
that work against equality and
human dignity. Unequal pay and
domestic violence are just two of
the ways that gender discrimina-
tion manifest itself.
Program Director for the
Emily Taylor Center for Women
and Gender Equity Kathy Rose-
Mockry said, We selected Lilly
Ledbetter as our speaker this year
because she exemplifies all that
Jana stood for her grit, determi-
nation and commitment to taking
a stand when confronted with
inequity and discrimination.
When we live in a society
where those who are not biologi-
cally male, and identify as men,
and behave appropriately mas-
culine, are considered weaker, we
must recognize that inequal pay
does lead to domestic violence.
That it says in either instance,
you are less, and deserve less,
because of who you are.
Obviously, Im a feminist
fangirl, and Im totally going to
be front row and center at Lily
Ledbetters talk. But, whether or
not you consider yourself par-
ticularly well-versed in politics or
feminist rhetoric, I highly encour-
age you to go, and not just those
of you who identify as women.
When a person is oppressed
because one category of their
identity is deemed as less, it sets
a precedent for treating others as
less. It perpetuates the idea that
some are worth more simply for
being male, or straight, or white,
or able-bodiedthe list continues
on and on.
So, if youre pretty okay with
the idea of human dignity, Id
suggest you check out the talk.
I cant promise Beyonce will be
incorporated though Ill keep
my fingers crossed but I can
say that Ill think youll come out
educated, empowered and maybe
even a little bit pissed. A winning
trifecta, in my opinion, for affect-
ing change.

L
iving in this day in age,
I have come to love hip-
hop music. Im not talk-
ing about Lil Wayne, Drake, or
Tyga, Im talking more about
the old school, smooth sound-
ing music. I like the lyricism,
the creative beats and the all
around funky sound it holds.
There have been many
prominent individual careers
and groups that have made
hip-hop what it is today.
Including Tupac, The Notorious
B.I.G., Jay-Z and others. But
only Wu-Tang Clan changed
hip-hop as much as they did in
the early 90s. And this upcom-
ing year may see its innovation
again.
The clan originally began as
a nine-man group and it was
something that has never hap-
pened in hip-hop before. But
ever since the death of Ol Dirty
Bastard (ODB) in 2004, it has
been reduced to an eight-man
group.
Now, the eight-man rap
group has announced it is get-
ting back together after a short
stint of individual careers, to
make another album. Its first
album to ever be released has
been out for sale for nearly
twenty years now. Although,
it has been five years since the
group has released a full album,
in 2007, it has plans to make
another album for release in
2013.
This album has the potential
to be huge. With each member
having very successful solo
careers, there is a lot of talent
going into the album. But this
could also pose some potential
problems as well. Because each
member has made it big with
their own individual styles, their
ego could kick in and that could
make it hard to work as a team
again.
I just dont see that happen-
ing, though. I think the Clan
can make a comeback with this
album. The release will be the
20th year anniversary since the
groups breakout album Enter
the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)
was released. Every member
displays dedication to the group,
especially RZA, who has the
groups logo tattooed on his
left arm. They all still have that
same love for the group and
want to make the album the best
they can.
The news is great for the
world of hip-hop. The sound of
hip-hop has recently changed,
but if the clan can successfully
create a good sounding album
while bringing back its old
sounding flow, then the more
recent artists will have some
good competition to keep up
with. It will force the artists to
put all their effort into their
music.
As the Clans one song
Triumph goes, Wu-Tang is
here forever. And it seems that
they were right.

Currently deployed to
Afghanistan, Zach Hertzel, a junior
from Lawrence, works as a flight
medic for the Kansas Army National
Guard. His daily routine consists of
waking up to ready a Black Hawk,
a kind of helicopter that is used like
an air ambulance, which he flies
to transport U. S. casualties to the
hospital.
Last semester, while enrolled in 18
credit hours, Hertzel spent several
nights a week in Salina logging hours
of flight training for this deployment,
but that didnt stop him from keep-
ing his resume-worthy G.P.A. at the
University of Kansas.
Veterans Day celebrated on
Nov. 11 is a national holiday to
recognize all military veterans who
have served or, like Hertzel, continue
to serve. There are currently about
360 KU student veterans receiving
veteran education benefits, accord-
ing to the KU office of Veterans
Services. Two of these students are
currently deployed; Hertzel is one
of them.
Hertzel joined the Army National
Guard in October 2007. A Lawrence
native, his desire to be an Army
medic began at an early age.
Since I was a kid, Ive always
wanted to be a medic. My grandpa
told me about the medic who saved
his life in Vietnam, Hertzel said.
However, his wife, Laura, said
Zachs path was not as clear as he
leads on.
His mom told me when he was
growing up, he hated needles and
heights, Laura said. They thought
it was pretty ironic that he became a
flight medic.
Zach and Laura got married last
July, after meeting three years ago
at a gym where Zach was a personal
trainer.
My dad wanted me to sign up
for a gym membership, Laura said.
One of the things that they sold at
the gym was two free sessions with
a trainer. Well, for whatever rea-
son, I ended up taking the sessions.
Zach trained me for two months and
ended up asking me out after that.
Zach and Laura have an 11-week-
old baby boy, Calidan. Zach was
present for the birth, but left for
deployment three days after. Laura
said she takes Calidans footprint
every month and sends it to Zach.
I never really thought either way
about marrying someone in the mili-
tary, Laura said. When I met him
and found out he was in the Army,
it was just another aspect that I liked
and admired.
Admittedly, Hertzels story sounds
like something off an Army recruit-
ing commercial. He has the fast-
paced job, the G.P.A. and a newborn
baby boy to boot. Hertzel attributes
his success last semester to under-
standing TAs and professors, who
allowed him to make up work out-
side of classroom hours, especially
the TA for his human anatomy lab,
Kin Chan.
I would miss that class all the
time because I would be doing night
flights in Salina. He was great. He
knew his stuff, and hed always stay
late with me, Hertzel said.
The professor of Hertzels anat-
omy class, Dr. David McLead, said
Hertzel always came in to his office
hours to study.
Zach was a great student, he
said. Personable, motivated and
hard working.
Hertzel said the help he received
from this class has extended beyond
the semester.
Human Anatomy Observation
Lab helped me out a lot, Hertzel
said. As a flight medic, it can be
very traumatic at times. We deal
with a lot of amputations. This class
gave me great knowledge of where
things should be and where things
shouldnt be.
Garrett Moe, a senior from
Newton, met Zach four years ago
on the KU rowing team and served
with him in the Army ROTC. Moe
said Hertzel has made him a more
determined person.
I saw him doing all that stuff and
I didnt see why I couldnt do it too,
Moe said.
In 2008, Moe spent a six-month
deployment working at Guantanamo
Bay. He said the transition from
active duty to college was difficult.
When you get back to civilian
side, you have to seek out informa-
tion, Moe said. It doesnt jump out
at you like on the military side. Not
wearing my uniform everyday was
different. My fianc had to teach me
how to dress.
Although Moe will not be at KU
for Zachs return he leaves in May
for military flight school he had
advice for those welcoming veterans
back from deployment.
I would just say be there, Moe
said. Let them know that youre
there.

Conference draws in
perspective architects
Ku architecture students are not
just working to construct buildings;
theyre building their program. in
Kansas city, the university and its ar-
chitecture program welcomed nearly
300 architecture students from 13
states on Nov. 2 to Nov. 4 for the 2012
american institute of architecture
students Midwest Quad conference.
the conference showed the areas di-
verse architecture and the universitys
recently top-ranked graduate program
by Midwest architecture firms.
Because of the conference, stu-
dents are more inclined to choose the
university for their post-secondary
education, said Dandre curtis, a
graduate student from Detroit, Michi-
gan.
the three-day event included tours
of Kansas city architecture firms, a
masquerade ball with professionals
in the field and a tour of the pro-
grams studio 804 run by professor
Dan rockhill. rockhills studio at the
university allows architecture stu-
dents to design actual houses as part
of their coursework.
Patrick Bayer, president of the Ku
aias chapter, worked with 12 of his
staff members for more than a year to
prepare for the conference.
it let everybody know there are
innovative things happening in Kan-
sas within the field of architecture,
Bayer said.
rachel Keeven, a senior from
OFallon, Mo., gained greater insight
into the field by partaking in the con-
ference. Despite living in the Midwest,
she learned Kansas city not only has
several architecture firms but also
great architecture to appreciate. and
after next year, she hopes to have
completed her masters degree in the
program and enter the workforce.
i love that we have great faculty
that knows how to motivate us to
figure out who we are as individual
designers, Keeven said.

The Bottleneck, a bar at 737 New
Hampshire Street.
But Bayside, the New York band
that made the song famous, isnt
performing. Instead, Lawrence punk
rock band Sovereign States (formerly
known as My Brother, The Vulture)
is performing its weekly punk kara-
oke show, Taking Back Mondays.
Since early summer, Sovereign
States vocalist Alec Hernandez,
guitarists Cameron Birdsall and Jon
Marzette, bassist Brett Crawford,
and drummer Quinn Brabender
perform most Monday nights at
The Bottleneck. The band isnt play-
ing its original music, but covering
pop-punk and emo songs that fans
request to sing along to. The band
focuses on playing songs of the pop-
punk genre that were popular when
they were in high school, including
songs by Bayside, Fall Out Boy, Sum
41 and Taking Back Sunday, which is
where the name of the event comes
from.
Sovereign States drummer Quinn
Brabender said that Taking Back
Mondays originally started as Metal
Mondays. The idea was to cover
metal songs and get people to come
hang out on a Monday night, which
is generally a slow night for the bar
scene.
It started out playing mostly
metal, Brabender said. As a band,
we started to think about all the
songs we wanted to cover, and it
went back to not only metal, but to
what we listened to in junior high
schoolpunk and emo.
With a new genre of music
being covered came a new name
to the event, changing from Metal
Mondays to Taking Back Mondays
this past month. Brabender said that
since changing the name, more fans
have shown up to the event.
During the event, fans that come
to hear their favorite songs are
encouraged to get on stage and sing
along, as if Sovereign States was their
own personal band.
When we play live, we like to
have people get on stage and sing
along with us, guitarist Jon Marzette
said. There will be, like, 30 people
on stage with us instead of us just
playing at people.
The band said they learned about
40 songs. The event has a Facebook
page where fans can request songs
for the band to learn and then play
at the event for the fans to sing
along to.
Its definitely a group involve-
ment thing, Brabender said. I think
thats why people have so much fun,
because they can get on stage. And if
they do know the songs, they dont
have to sing by themselves.
Ben Goodrich, a senior from
Texas, said he came to the second
Taking Back Mondays and came
back because of the nostalgia, noting
that he thought it may seem embar-
rassing to remember the lyrics to the
songs, but he had to go on stage and
belt it out.
Its a good time, Goodrich said.
You get to hear all your old jams
from when you were in eighth grade
when you were all angsty. Why not
bring back that ol pre-teen angst?

fter honoring our veterans yes-
terday, I have put together a list
of professional athletes who have
served in the military. These men were
either academy graduates or decided to
put their professional careers on hold to
fight for our country.
Pat tillman
The former Arizona Cardinals safety
played the entire 2001 season before quit-
ting the NFL to become an Army Ranger.
Tillman played four seasons in the NFL,
including an All-Pro season in 2000. The
former Arizona State player was a seventh-
round draft pick and managed to amass
238 tackles during his short professional
career. Tillman fought in the initial inva-
sion of Iraq before being redeployed to
Afghanistan. He died on April 22, 2004, at
the age of 27. His sacrifice earned the for-
mer NFL player a Silver Star and a Purple
Heart.

BoB Feller
Feller was the first of many baseball
players to volunteer for service after the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
The Indians great served for four years
on the USS Alabama before returning to
Cleveland. Feller finished his Hall of Fame
career as one of the greatest pitchers in
baseball history with 266 wins and more
than 2,500 career strikeouts. He won the
1948 World Series and finished his career
with three career no-hitters.

ted Williams
Arguably the greatest hitter in the his-
tory of baseball, the Red Sox legend left
professional baseball in 1942 to join the
Marines. Williams hit for the Triple Crown
twice in his career, and is the last player to
hit above .400 in a season. After fighting in
World War II, Williams returned to base-
ball before serving again in the Korean
War. The Baseball Hall of Fame inducted
Williams in 1966, and he became a mem-
ber of the Major League Baseball All-
Century Team in 1999. Williams passed
away in 2002 at the age of 83.

JaCkie roBinson
The first African-American player in
MLB history was a member of the Army
during WWII. This player broke the
color barrier in professional baseball,
and is often credited as being selected
because he could take the abuse he was
sure to get. During his time in the mili-
tary, Robinson served in a segregated
unit until he was court-martialed for
refusing to move to the back of a bus on
a military base. The Dodger great went
on to change sports history, along with
winning an MVP and a World Series
title. Robinson died in 1972 at the age of
53, but in 1997, his legacy was honored
when every MLB team retired his jersey
number, 42.

david roBinson
The best basketball player in Naval
Academy history was drafted first over-
all by the San Antonio Spurs in 1987.
Robinson, nicknamed the Admiral, ful-
filled his active-duty obligation with the
Navy before joining the Spurs in 1989.
The Admiral won the 1995 MVP award
and was named as one of the 50 Greatest
Players in NBA history in 1996. He won
his first NBA Championship in 1999
before ending his career by winning the
2003 NBA Finals.

roger stauBaCh
The Dallas Cowboys drafted the 1963
Heisman Trophy winner in the 10th round
of the 1964 NFL Draft. Staubach, a gradu-
ate of the Naval Academy, served one tour
of duty in Vietnam before returning to
professional football. During his 10-year
career, Staubach won two Super Bowls
and five NFC Championships. Along with
being honored in the Dallas Cowboys Ring
of Honor, Staubach threw for 153 touch-
downs and more than 22,000 yards to earn
himself a place in the Pro Football Hall of
Fame in 1985.

ANNOUNCEMENTS HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING JOBS
The Kansas cross country sea-
son ended on Friday afternoon
at the NCAA Midwest Regional
Championships, despite great per-
formances from freshmen Gabe
Gonzalez and Hanna Richardson.
Although it was a strong season,
both teams missed qualifying for the
national meet after failing to earn an
automatic bid or earning one of the
at-large bids.
The mens team finished outside
of the automatic qualifying spots
for Nationals, but the team, led
by Gonzalez, finished sixth at the
championships Friday.
Gonzalez finished the 10K race in
24th place with a time of 30:58.76.
This finish earned Gonzalez United
States Track & Field and Cross
Country Coaches Association All-
Region honors, the first ever for a
Kansas freshman under the current
regional format.
The mens strength all season has
been our close distance from one
to seven, and I think that showed
today, coach Stanley Redwine said.
It was Gabes turn to be the leader
today, and I thought he turned in a
really solid race.
The top five Kansas runners fin-
ished within 37 seconds of Gonzalez,
including senior Donny Wasinger,
who finished in 35th place. Wasinger,
from Winona, Minnesota, has been
consistent all year; he is the only one
to be among the teams top-two fin-
ishers in every race this season.
The race was run at a slow pace,
making for a large lead pack dur-
ing the first half. Sophomores James
Wilson and Reid Buchanan helped
to round out a large contingent
of Jayhawks in the lead pack until
Gonzalez used a late kick to pass his
teammates for Kansas top finish.
The mens team finished with 194
points, its best score at a regional
event since 2007.
The womens team was led by
senior Kathleen Thompson, who
finished the womens 6K race in
12:55.73 for a 47th place finish.
Kansas Richardson finished just
four seconds behind Thompson for
a 54th place finish.
It was a good race for Kathleen
today, Redwine said. She went out
and did the things that we told her
she needed to do.
Richardsons successful first year
with the Jayhawks continued on
Friday as she became the first fresh-
man since 1997 to finish a regional
meet among the teams top-two fin-
ishers. The Jayhawks finished with
367 points to finish in 13th of 31
teams.
As a team, we didnt have the
quality of depth to contend with
some of the top, but our future is
definitely promising, Redwine said.
Were excited about what Hannah
Richardson did this year, and if we
continue to get people healthy, the
team will be in great shape.

Junior forward tania Jackson defends Idaho state senior forward ashleigh Vella during the second half of the match against the
Idaho state bengals at allen Fieldhouse yesterday afternoon. Jackson had six points with seven rebounds, and kansas defeated
Idaho, 52-36.
Cross country teams fnish
season at midwest regional
They say a win is a win, and
thats all that matters.
And on Sunday evening, the
Kansas womens basketball team
might have just proved that state-
ment right. The Jayhawks beat the
Idaho State Bengals 52-36 in their
opening game of the season in
Allen Fieldhouse.
Throughout the game, there
appeared to be some kind of lid
over the basket. The Jayhawks shot
just 30.8 percent on a 20-of-65
shooting performance.
Good news, we won, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. The bad
news, Im certain its going to look
a lot worse on film than live, and it
looked real bad out there.
It wasnt just on the first try that
the Jayhawks couldnt find the net;
they couldnt convert the second,
third and sometimes the fourth
shot, either.
The Jayhawks had 22 offensive
rebounds, a statistic that normally
puts points on the scoreboard.
Typically, your first shot is a 30
percent shot, second shot is a 60
percent shot and your third shot
is an 80 percent shot, Henrickson
said. Not today, that stuck at 30,
second and third one.
For the shots that did fall,
seniors Carolyn Davis and Monica
Engelman led the Jayhawks with
10 points each. Engelman pointed
out that the subpar shooting was
related this game being the first of
the season.
You kind of get the jitters and
are uptight a little bit, Engelman
said.
Davis had an efficient game as
she had got her 10 points on 4-of-7
shooting. She also grabbed eight
rebounds in just 18 minutes of
playing time.
Henrickson said Davis could
have played longer, despite doctors
recommending 20 minutes over
the course of the game. However,
since the Jayhawks lead had grown
in the second half, there was no
point in making her play more
than what she did.
Davis, who is coming off an
ACL injury from a year ago, has
continued to look better every day.
And Henrickson said that Sundays
game was good for Davis.
Everyday is progress with her,
and its good for her, Henrickson
said. They tried to shove her
around a little bit, and thats going
to happen to her.
The physical play of Idaho State
is something that senior point
guard Angel Goodrich, who had
seven points on 3-of-8 shooting,
four rebounds and three assists,
looks at as a good way to open the
season.
They were feisty, and we needed
to see that, Goodrich said. It only
makes us better on being able to
see what we need to do to improve
on our weaknesses and get better
at.
Sophomore guard Natalie
Knight had seven points, two
rebounds and two assists on the
evening. Sophomore forward
Chelsea Gardner had six points
and nine rebounds coming off the
bench. Also, junior forward Tania
Jackson added six points and seven
rebounds off the bench.
But even with the stat sheet
stuffed, particularly in the
rebounding category Kansas
out-rebounded Idaho State 51-39
Henrickson wasnt pleased with
the rebounding, especially out of
the guards.
We didnt get any effort or
toughness, Henrickson said. Its
easy to get one when there is no
one around you, but how about
you go and get one in traffic. Then
youre a really good rebounder and
we didnt have enough of that.
The Jayhawks held the Bengals
to 11 points in the first half on
5-of-27 shooting. The 11 points in
the first half were the lowest ever
by a team Henrickson has coached.
Also, the 36 points allowed was the
sixth fewest given up in Kansas
history.
But Henrickson is quick to point
out it wasnt all because of the
Jayhawk defense.
Idaho State struggled, and at
times, it was because of us, and
other times, it wasnt because of us,
Henrickson said. I was impressed
that they came in here and said,
I dont what league you play in.
We dont care how many games
you won or that youre ranked or
not. They came in here, and they
were physical and tried to push us
around.
The bad shooting day by the
Jayhawks doesnt faze Henrickson,
because she knows the team is
capable of performing at a much
higher level in future games.
We know were better than that,
Henrickson said. We know we can
play better than that. Its a game
thats going to help us, and we can
grow from that.

If you have the possibility

to win, then you win.
CarolIne JarmoC
Junior middle blocker
Maybe last year Kansas would
have found a moral victory in
taking Texas to five sets before
losing.
But not this year.
The Jayhawks had a two-
sets-to-one lead against the
Longhorns, but they werent able
to hold on during the meet on
Saturday. With the success this
team has experienced this season,
redshirt junior middle blocker
Caroline Jarmoc wouldnt even
entertain the idea of a moral vic-
tory.
No, Jarmoc said. If you have
the possibility to win, then you
win. It doesnt matter what the
teams ranked. We didnt finish,
we didnt execute to the fullest,
and we didnt win the match, so
no moral victories.
After holding late leads in two
sets during its 3-0 loss to Texas on
Oct. 12, coach Ray Bechard said
his team committed to beating
Texas in Lawrence when it came
for the rematch.
For the first three sets, it
looked like Kansas would accom-
plish just that. Texas committed
four service errors in the first
set alone, and had seven service
errors after three sets. Buoyed
by junior libero Brianne Rileys
return after missing the Kansas
State match Wednesday due to
injury, the Jayhawk back line out-
dug Texas by 12 during the first
three sets.
The Longhorns used four play-
ers listed as 6-foot-3 or taller,
hoping that by hitting the ball
at steep angles with brute force,
the Jayhawk defense wouldnt
be able to dig the attack. But
Kansas responded well to the
Longhorns physicality in both
the attack and the serve. Riley fin-
ished with a match-high 26 digs,
and sophomore outside hitter
Chelsea Albers added 14. Those
two, coupled with senior defen-
sive specialist Morgan Boub and
junior defensive specialist Jaime
Mathieu, extended multiple ral-
lies by digging Longhorn attacks
when it seemed like the ball was
headed for the ground.
Ri l ey and
Albers also con-
tained Texas
sophomore out-
side hitter Haley
Eckermans pow-
erful line drive
serve. Eckerman
didnt record
an ace until the
fourth set. This
helped the Jayhawks to side out
at 62 percent for the match.
Brianne Riley said that assis-
tant coach Todd Chamberlain
tried to help the team practice for
Eckermans serve.
Pretty difficult, it comes a lot
faster than you think, Riley said
of the serve. We practiced it at
practice, we had Todd spin at us,
but shes a lot better than Todd.
However, Bechard said the
Jayhawks didnt do a good job of
converting digs into attackable
balls.
A lot of that was the opportu-
nity, when we did dig a ball up,
did we convert to a kill? Bechard
said. We just didnt dig enough
balls to our setter to where we
could convert.
In the fourth set, the Longhorns
blocked eight balls, while Kansas
didnt block any. Texas hit a
smooth .375 during the set, while
Kansas hit .025 with 10 kills and
nine attack errors. Both Jarmoc
and Bechard said Kansas didnt
do a good enough job of convert-
ing kills in transition during the
final two sets.
Jarmoc led the Jayhawks with
six kills in the fourth set, but
Texas also blocked four of her
attacks.
There was two blockers fol-
lowing me around everywhere
I was going, Jarmoc said. The
coaches kept telling them to set
me, and its difficult when youre
a middle. The balls fast-tempoed,
and youre
supposed to
hit past a 6-4
girl and a 6-3
girl. Its diffi-
cult, and that
d e f i n i t e l y
i n f l u e n c e d
the fourth
set.
In the fifth
and final set, Texas scored three
straight points to turn a 5-5 dead-
lock into an 8-5 lead. Because
the final set is first to 15, Kansas
didnt have enough opportunities
to erase the three-point deficit.
The Jayhawks twice closed Texas
lead to one point, but Texas just
responded with another three-
point run the second time.
The Longhorns won the fifth
set 15-12, giving them a 3-2 vic-
tory and at least a share of the
Big 12 title with a 13-0 confer-
ence record. The loss dropped
Kansas to 21-6 and 9-4 in Big 12
play. Although the loss ended a
brutal five-match stretch of the
Jayhawks schedule, Riley said the
Kansas team wouldnt hang its
hat on just playing tough in those
matches.
I dont have many moral vic-
tories, not really my thing, Riley
said. A wins a win, and we didnt
get that tonight, so it means we go
into the gym and practice harder
on Monday.

Oklahoma hosted a Baylor team
driven to pull an upset in Norman,
Okla., but Oklahoma kept its com-

survived with a win.
The Oklahoma running backs
carried the team in the first half.
Brennan Clay opened the game
with a touchdown reception and
rushed for one touchdown, while
Damien Williams added one of his
own on the ground early.
The Sooners took a 28-17 lead at
halftime and encountered a couple
of problems. Two early second-half
turnovers resulted in a touchdown
score for Baylor running back
Lache Seastrunk. Seastrunk scored
three touchdowns and was one of
three running backs for the Bears
to rush for at least 60 yards.
But the Sooners had a large
cushion and got a big touchdown
from Blake Bell to win. The Sooners
never trailed in this game.

When Oklahoma State started
backup quarterback Clint Chelf,
some wondered whether Oklahoma
State could win at home against a
West Virginia loaded with talent
on offense. It turned out Chelf
would get the job done.
Chelf threw four touchdown
passes against West Virginia, two
of them to Josh Stewart. Stewart
pulled in 13 catches for 172 yards.
Stewart also rushed for 46 yards for
a touchdown on a trick play.
But Oklahoma State still had to
deal with West Virginia quarter-
back Geno Smith, who returned
to his old form, throwing for 364
yards and two touchdowns on 36
completed passes. Both Stedman
Bailey and Tavon Austin had more
than 10 catches, which included
one in the end zone. Bailey had a
field day on the Cowboys defense
with 225 yards receiving.
But the Cowboys defense
stepped up in the second half and
shut out the Mountaineers in the
fourth quarter. The Cowboys went
on a 17-0 run to end the game and
pick up a win.

Texas three-dimensional offense
was key in defeating Iowa State in a
one-sided game.
David Ash completed 25 of
31 passes for 364 yards and two
touchdowns. Ashs day was a suc-
cess, thanks to his top two receiv-
ers, Jaxon Shipley and Mike Davis.
Both receivers had 100-yard receiv-
ing games. Iowa States defense was
unable to stop the passing game, as
well as Texas running game.
Joe Bergeron rushed for 86 yards
off 12 carries. Johnathan Gray took
14 carries for 74 yards and a pair
of touchdowns on the ground. The
Longhorns collected 222 yards on
the ground.
Iowa State quarterback Steele
Jantz led his offense to only one
touchdown. Jantz threw intercep-
tions to cornerbacks Carrington
Byndom and Josh Turner.

GLASS HALf fuLL
Kansas clawed back from a 10-point
deficit in the fourth quarter, kicked a
tying field goal and stopped Tech from
winning on a field goal much like Texas
did in Lawrence two weeks ago. It was
the first time Kansas played tough for
60 minutes all season.

GLASS HALf EmpTy
Passing is still nonexistent for the
offense, but it seems like Kansas
coach Charlie Weis has come to terms
with that. The problem is when you
face a prolific passing attack and give
up 501 yards to it.
Good, BAd or JuST pLAin
STupid
On the first play of the second
quarter, TTU quarterback Seth Doege
fired a pass to the left corner of the
end zone straight to Tyson Williams.
It was a terrible decision by Doege.
Williams was completely covered by
Kansas Tyler Patmon, except Patmon
never turned to see the ball, and it
glided straight into Williams hands.
verdict: bad
dELAy of THE GAmE
a few long, official reviews in the
fourth quarter and overtimes broke the
rhythm of the game, but kudos to the
zebras for getting the calls right.
GAmE BALL
This week is a tie. not only did run-
ning back James Sims set a Kansas
school record with his sixth straight
hundred-yard performance and score
two touchdowns, but Tony Pierson also
rushed for 202 yards on 16 carries.
Collectively, the tandem put Kansas
on its backs.
LooKinG AHEAd
Kansas will play its final home game
of the regular season on Senior night
this Saturday. It also could be the Jay-
hawks best chance to notch another
win this season. Kansas hasnt given
up more than 25 points at home, and
Iowa State averages just 22.
finAL THouGHT:
Given that it was on the road, you
have to rank this game as the best
if not top two performances
from Kansas this season. Seeing what
James Sims and Tony Pierson can do
when theyre both at 100 percent is
a scary scene. Everyone knew Kansas
was going to run, and there was still
nothing anyone could do.

ran the ball 57 times for 390 yards and two touchdowns while only attempting 15
passes and completing six of them. For what its worth, Texas Tech quarterback seth

Quote of the game
schedule
From not being able to send a feld goal kicker onto the feld to splitting the up-
rights to tie the game, not too shabby. still plenty of work to be done on this unit, but
ron Doherty averaged 37 yards per punt, and Nick Prolago notched two feld goals.
Dare I say improvement?
Grade: b+
Not bad play calling on offense although there isnt much to choose from
but the defense looked like it was waiting for the TTU receivers to make a catch before
it did anything about it. Three Tech wide outs gained more than 50 yards while fve
made plays of 20 yards or longer.
Grade: c+
Kansas wasnt the only one-dimensional team on the feld. Texas Tech attempted
61 passes on 22 rushes, earning 501 of its 571 yards through the air. It wasnt the
best day for the Jayhawks secondary team, but they it Kansas a chance to win.

We knew they were going to come in and play hard. But losing this game would

Kansas falls to texas tech in double overtime
After a season full of woes and
mishaps in the second half of Big
12 road contests, Kansas trav-
eled to Texas Tech and ended the
game in double overtime, giving
the Red Raiders a 41-34 win.
Unlike the first three Big 12
games on the road, the Jayhawks
prevented a blowout. However,
the defense gave up 41 points for
the second-straight week.
The Jayhawk defensive backs
had their hands full while trying
to defend Texas Tech wide receiv-
ers Eric Ward and Darrin Moore.
Even though cornerbacks Greg
Brown, Tyler Patmon and JaCorey
Shepherd needed a lot of safety
help from Bradley McDougald
and Lubbock Smith, the Jayhawks
still struggled to keep up with the
Red Raiders receiving corps.
They do a great job of spread-
ing the ball out, McDougald
said. Theres no real dominant
receiver they have and thats the
beauty of their offense. They use
the whole field and run a lot of
underneath routes to bring the
safeties down and it leaves the
receivers on the outside much
more space to make plays.
Ward caught 11 passes for a
career-high of 156 yards while
Moores gameday included seven
catches for 66 yards and a touch-
down in overtime, which helped
seal the win by a perfectly execut-
ed trick play in double overtime.
The two receivers alone had more
catches than the entire Kansas
roster.
Texas Tech quarterback Seth
Doege had a field day as he com-
pleted 42 of 54 passes for 436
yards and three touchdown pass-
es. Doege got off to a quick start
when all three of his touchdown
passes came in the first half. Even
though Doege didnt score in the
second half, he moved the ball
well against the Jayhawks defense
with the help of his receivers.
Kansas had a hard time defend-
ing Doeges passes, and at times,
didnt expect them. Patmon per-
fectly covered Texas Tech wide
receiver Tyson Williams in the
back of the end zone early in the
second quarter. However, with his
back to the Doege, Patmon wasnt
aware of the pass, which allowed
Williams to make a play in the
end zone to take a 14-7 lead.
Doeges fast start looked like it
would translate into big numbers,
but Kansas defensively gained
momentum. When the offense
returned to the field, it came up
with scores of its own.
One of the biggest plays for the
defense was McDougalds inter-
ception on the drive after Doeges
third touchdown throw.
We just settled in, McDougald
said. The beginning of the game
is usually the toughest time.
Coach Weis always talks about
stop the bleeding. I just dropped
back and put myself in a position
to catch the ball.
McDougalds swipe in the sec-
ond quarter was the only turnover
of the entire game. Kansas went
on a 10-0 run to end the first half
as Texas Tech went three-and-
out on its only position after the
giveaway.
But Doege still managed to
move the ball and put the Red
Raiders in position to pull off
a win, even though it took two
overtime periods. The Kansas
defense appeared to be worn out
near the end of the game with
keeping up with Doege and when
nearly the entire defense bit on
the trick play, which created an
easy pass from Eric Stephens to
a wide open Moore in the second
overtime period.
Despite another loss for Kansas
and its 19th consecutive confer-
ence loss, Weis saw one of the
best games hes seen from his
players. While players are usually
given 24 hours to forget about a
loss, he wanted all of the players,
including the defensive backs, to
move on and get ready to play
Iowa State for the final home
game of the season.
At the end of the day, our team
played like a legitimate team and
tried to gut it out through a com-
plete four quarters, Weis said.

Jayhawks continue to fght, but lose in overtime
Volume 125 Issue 46 kansan.com Monday, November 12, 2012
LUBBOCK, TEXAS Kansas
coach Charlie Weis knew how the
game was supposed to end it
was already drawn up in his head.
Kansas would score on its posses-
sion in the second overtime, and
instead of kicking a tying PAT, he
would go for two.
If the Jayhawks were stopped, so
be it, but the game would end on
Weis terms.
Well, Kansas lost 41-34 in double
overtime to Texas Tech, yet it was
on TTU coach Tommy Tubervilles
terms with Kansas only gaining
a yard on its final drive and failing
to convert on fourth-and-nine.
If we scored right there, we were
going for two, Weis said. I told the
defensive coaches, This is going to
be it. Either way, were going to try
to end this right now.
Instead, the winning play came
from TTU senior running back
Eric Stephens, who took a direct
snap at the 3-yard line, shuffled a
couple steps to his right and tossed
a hop pass to a wide open Darrin
Moore in the right corner of the
end zone, as TTU had the first
possession in the second overtime.
Tuberville elected to kick a PAT.
When youre in overtime
against a good football team, its
anybodys game, Weis said. Its
no longer about whos at home and
whos on the road. Its who makes
that one more play.
That one more play the
hoped-for two-point try could
have gone to junior running back
James Sims. After all, Sims already
scored two touchdowns and broke
Laverne Smiths 1974 school record
with his sixth straight game rush-
ing more than one hundred yards
he finished with 135 yards.
Sims was the reason Kansas even
made it to the second overtime.
On second and goal in the first
overtime, quarterback Michael
Cummings found Sims alone on
the goal line and caught him in
stride walking into the end zone.
Fittingly, it was the same route
that Cummings missed Sims on
with a chance to tie the game at 21
right before halftime.
When I saw he was open, I
knew I had to get it to him, and
I wasnt going to
miss this time,
Cummings said.
I just had to
calm down and
make a catchable
ball for him.
Or Weis
could have given
that one more
play to his other
running back, sophomore Tony
Pierson. It was Piersons 69-yard
run early in the fourth that sparked
a 10-point Kansas comeback to
force overtime.
Pierson almost went 72 yards
to the end zone before exhaustion
set in, and he was tripped up at the
three-yard line.
I saw their safeties trying to
play hard on me, so I just gave
them a head fake and went straight
up the middle, Pierson said. I
looked up on the Jumbotron and
see a guy behind me, and credit to
him, it was a nice play.
Pierson finished with 202 yards
on 16 carries
his first time
breaking the cen-
tury mark since
he did it in back-
to-back games to
start the season.
It was one of
the few times
this season the
Jayhawks had
both their top running backs on
the field and healthy at the same
time.
Sims gashed up the middle of
the Red Raiders defense, while
Piersons speed allowed him to
continually turn the corner on the
outside.
You have your choice: Do you
soften up the defense by pound-
ing them inside, or do you try to
get speed on the edge? Weis said.
By putting both of those guys out
there at the same time, it gives you
an opportunity to do both simulta-
neously which gave us a chance to
win the game.
The Kansas offense was one-
dimensional, but then again, so
was its ranked opponents. Of the
571-yards TTU gained, 501 came
through the air.
The reality is that the Jayhawks
have gone sans victory in their
last 19 Big 12 games. Yet with one
more play, a new streak could just
as easily have begun.
At the end of the day, our team
played like a legitimate team and
tried to gut it out through a com-
plete four quarters, Weis said.
It was the first time the Jayhawks
played tough for 60 minutes this
season; unfortunately, they needed
to hang in a few more to steal a
win.

T
he mens basketball sea-
son has officially begun.
Kansas battled Southeast
Missouri State and won 74-55,
but the victory was no easy feat.
The Jayhawk offense didnt
seem to be clicking. When
the offense lagged, Southeast
Missouri State continued to bat-
tle, getting within six points in
the second half.
Despite the lack of offense, one
thing became evident: Prepare for
defense.
This concept seems like a
no-brainer because Bill Self
preaches defense. Well, Kansas
has young players, and usually
the defense takes a bit longer to
adjust. Sophomore guards Ben
McLemore and Naadir Tharpe
and freshman forward Perry Ellis
had no problems.
Tharpes on-ball pressure
was crucial when senior guard
Elijah Johnson picked up early
fouls to send him to the bench.
McLemore, known more for his
offensive game, swatted the ball
three times and tied senior cen-
ter Jeff Withey by grabbing 12
rebounds. Ellis didnt have much
in the stat sheet, but he com-
mitted only one foul and altered
many shots around the rim.
The veterans did their jobs,
too.
Withey continued to be a
defensive force, recording five
blocks, getting 12 rebounds and
committing zero fouls. Senior
guard Travis Relefords on-ball
pressure caused a few steals and
turnovers.
All of these individual perfor-
mances were necessary, and they
reflect on Southeast Missouri
States field goal percentage.
In Self s nine seasons at Kansas,
the Jayhawks have led the Big 12
in field goal percentage defense
seven times. Last year, the team
finished first in the Big 12 and
third nationally with 38 percent.
Against Southeast Missouri
State, the Jayhawks held the
Redhawks field goal percent-
age to 29 percent. In the first
half, the Redhawks shot only 20.7
percent from the field. Even the
Redhawks three-point percent-
age was extremely low, at only 25
percent.
Still, while teams can hold
opposing offenses to low field
goal percentages, those teams
must also rebound. The Jayhawks
easily covered that with 49
rebounds, compared with the
Redhawks 37.
Yes, the opponent wasnt top-
25 caliber. Elijah Johnson fouled
out in few minutes. Kansas only
forced 12 turnovers. Yet the
defense still played extremely
well and picked up the slack for
the dismal 9.5 three-point per-
centage.
The offense will get there, but
if there was a choice to have bet-
ter defense or offense to start the
season, the choice would always
be defense. The offense can be
fixed easier than the defense, and
with a young Kansas team, this
has to be a positive going into the
big showdown against Michigan
State on Tuesday.

CharlIe WeIs
kansas coach
aShlEigh lEE/kanSan
senior forward kevin Young walks into allen Fieldhouse to watch his teammates
play during last Fridays game against southeast missouri state, where kansas won
74-55. Young has not played yet this season because of a broken hand.
When senior forward Kevin
Young returns to the mens bas-
ketball team in its game against
Michigan State in Atlanta Tuesday,
the team will hope he can provide
the missing piece to fix its early-
season woes.
Without Young, the young
Jayhawks arent communicating
and havent been as aggressive as
coach Bill Self wants them to be.
Hes our best talker, Self said.
He can direct traffic from talking,
and were the quietest team, and
thats whats going to get us beat is
how quiet we are.
Young injured his hand in prac-
tice Oct. 25 when he collided with
freshman guard Andrew White III
while they were chasing the same
rebound.
Both players charged toward the
basket, but the ball took a long
bounce off the rim, causing the
players to run into each other.
Young underwent surgery the
next day, but had to sit out Kansas
two exhibition games and its
season opener against Southeast
Missouri State on Friday as he
recovered.
While Young recovered, he
watched how his teammates played
and tried to figure out how he
could fit in once he returned.
So far, the Jayhawks offense
has found a tendency to fall into
lulls at certain, sometimes crucial,
points of games. They were fortu-
nate to scrape by on their talent,
but scraping by will be harder
when the Jayhawks play against
more talented opponents.
Im focusing on keeping the
energy up the whole game, Young
said. I do run a lot and I do talk
a lot, so I think that itll be pretty
easy to help the team push the
energy level up.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore
said Youngs presence will help the
Jayhawks play on a high-octave
level on both ends of the floor. He
thinks the energy Young brings
will inspire the team to develop a
more aggressive mindset.
Young also wants to make more
of a mark in this years Champions
Classic. Last year against Kentucky,
he only played two minutes because
he hadnt fully established himself
and his role with the team.
I didnt get to play too much,
Young said. I know it was really
early in our season, like our sec-
ond game, so Id like to change
that.
Without Young available, the
Jayhawks pulled out a 12-point vic-
tory against Division II Washburn,
and against Southeast Missouri
State, they saw their second half
lead shrink to six before rallying
later in the game.
I hate not having Kevin on
the court, senior forward Elijah
Johnson said. When Kevins on
the court, its somebody that I feel
like I try to keep up with. Hes so
far ahead of the game, and he just
never stops. Whenever Kevins on
the court, that always gives me
extra momentum.
