With cell phones as bedmates
and college a necessity, the mil-
lennial generation is fast setting
itself apart from parents and
grandparents.
The millennial generation, or
those born after 1980, has the
highest amount of education,
with 54 percent having some
college education, according to
a 2010 Pew Research Center
study. The study examined mil-
lennials age 18 to 29.
With 83 percent of millen-
nials reporting they have slept
with their cell phone at some
point compared to 46 percent of
all other generations, its obvi-
ous technology helps define the
generation.
My phone is always by my
side, said Allegra Baxter, Olathe
junior. I use it for weather,
communication. Everything. I
think I definitely use it differ-
ently than my parents do.
The millennial generation
looks different than previous
ones, with 61 percent identify-
ing as white, compared to 70
percent of those 30 or older.
Those identifying as black
increased from 11 to 14 per-
cent, with Hispanics increasing
the most from 13 to 19 percent
and Asians remaining at five
percent.
But the priorities of mille-
nials are not much different
from those who came before,
with parenting and a successful
marriage being the two most
important life priorities. Of
those 29 and younger, 52 per-
cent listed being a good parent
and 30 percent listed a success-
ful marriage, compared to 30
percent and 35 percent, respec-
tively, of those 30 and older.
For students like Chris Dill,
a freshman from Austin, Texas,
the priorities seem a little out
of whack.
Success, having a good job,
those are most important to
me, Dill said. According to
the study, a high-paying job
and religion were some of the
least important priorities, each
weighing in at 15 percent.
But compared to those 30
and older, the success and reli-
gion set the generations apart,
with 21 percent of the older
generation prioritizing religion
and only 7 percent saying suc-
cess is a priority.
Chris Crandall, a University
sociology professor, said the
varying importance of priori-
ties between generations all
comes back to age.
There is the fact that the 30
plus people are simply older,
Crandall said in an email.
Marriage matters more to a
35-year-old than to an 18-year-
old. And so, I think a simple
way to interpret the data is that
millenials are mostly like other
Americans, but that they are
less concerned about leading a
religious life.

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. this
Saturday, students have the
opportunity to make a differ-
ence in the community.
The University will host
its fifth Dance Marathon this
Saturday in the Kansas Union
Ballroom. Dance Marathon is a
program under the Childrens
Miracle Network that raises
money for children and their
families at hospitals in the area.
Students stand on their feet for
12 straight hours supporting
the children who cant.
Twenty Miracle Children
and their families have signed
up for Saturdays event. While
some are healthy and done
with treatments, others are still
fighting.
Kendall Kohnle, director of
public relations for KU Dance
Marathon, hopes to work with
kids in need someday and said
the Dance Marathon is a life-
changing experience. She said
seeing how strong the kids are is
encouraging and an inspiration.
The event kicks off with an
opening ceremony, followed
by a day full of music, food,
games and dancing. Around the
World is the theme for this
falls Dance Marathon. A differ-
ent country will be represented
each hour with authentic food.
A closing ceremony will con-
clude KUDM.
Holly Good, a sophomore
from Shawnee, said being a part
of KUDM puts a lot into per-
spective.
Seeing how passionate the
steering committee is makes me
think about what a big differ-
ence you can make when you
stand for something meaning-
ful, Good said.
Even though its a dance
marathon, KUDM is centered
around the kids. Students are
encouraged to help in any way
they can. KUDM participants
can sign up in teams before-
hand to fundraise and get their
friends involved.
Participants can register until
the day of the event for a $20
registration fee. At this point,
435 students have already reg-
istered.
The University hosted a Dance
Marathon in February, raising
$60,040.70. After this weekend,
Kansas will become the second
school in the country to have
hosted two marathons in one
year. Their fundraising goal for
the year is $100,000.

WASHINGTON One day after
his surprisingly comfortable re-elec-
tion, a triumphant President Barack
Obama headed back to the White
House and divided government on
Wednesday with little time left for
a compromise with Republicans to
avert spending cuts and tax increases
that threaten a new recession.
The president also is look-
ing ahead to top-level personnel
changes in a second term, involv-
ing three powerful Cabinet portfo-
lios at a minimum.
Republicans headed into a sea-
son of potentially painful reflection
after retaining control of the House
but losing the presidency and fall-
ing deeper into the Senate minor-
ity. One major topic: the changing
face of America.
Weve got to deal with the issue
of immigration through good
policy. What is the right policy
if we want economic growth in
America as it relates to immigra-
tion? said former Republican
Party Chairman Haley Barbour.
Obama drew support from about
70 percent of all Hispanics, far
outpacing Republican challenger
Mitt Romney.
There was little time to celebrate
for the winners, with a postelection
session of Congress scheduled to
convene next Tuesday. By common
agreement, the main order of busi-
ness is the search for a compromise
to keep the economy from falling
off a so-called fiscal cliff.
The White House said Obama
had made postelection phone calls
to congressional leaders and reiter-
ated a commitment to bipartisan
steps to reduce our deficit in a
balanced way, cut taxes for middle
class families and small businesses
and create jobs.
The president said he believed
that the American people sent a
message in yesterdays election that
leaders in both parties need to put
aside their partisan interests and
work with common purpose to
put the interests of the American
people and the American economy
first, the statement said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., told reporters that any
solution should include higher taxes
on the richest of the rich. That
was in keeping with Obamas elec-
tion platform, which calls for the
expiration of tax cuts on income
over $200,000 for individuals and
$250,000 for couples.
Reid said he spoke with Republican
House Speaker John Boehner as well
as Obama Tuesday night as the elec-
tion results became known, and he
declared that of course a compro-
mise was possible on the overall
issue.
Information based on the Douglas
County Sheriffs Offce booking recap.
A 20-year-old male University
student was arrested Wednesday at
1:24 a.m. near mile marker 11 of Kan-
sas Highway 10 on suspicion of oper-
ating under the infuence. Bond was
set at $500. He was released.
A 61-year-old Lawrnece man was
arrested Tuesday at 3:54 p.m. on the
200 block of Maine Street on suspicion
of operating under the infuence, sec-
ond offense. Bond was set at $1,000.
He was released.
A 20-year-old Lawrence woman
was arrested Monday at 7:40 p.m. in
the 500 block of California Street on
suspicion of battery. Bond was not

obama receives support
from Kenyan in-law
KOGELO, Kenya Waving her cane
and smiling broadly, the step-grand-
mother of Barack Obama celebrated his
reelection in Kogelo, the home of Barack
Obamas father. The family matriarch is
Sarah Obama, who was the second wife
of the presidents late grandfather.
Take the great job that people
have given to you and lead them well,
Sarah Obama advised her relative by
marriage after his victory.
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga
told The Associated Press that the elec-
tion victory was a great day for the
United States and Kenya.
Kenya has its own presidential elec-
tion coming up in March. The countrys
last vote in late 2007 turned devas-
tatingly violent, and more than 1,000
people were killed. Odinga said the U.S.
vote showed that elections should be
decided based on issues.
Senior offcial killed
by suicide bomber
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A Taliban
suicide bomber struck a vehicle carry-
ing a senior Pakistani police offcer on
Wednesday, killing him and four other
people in the countrys northwest, po-
lice said.
The bomber detonated his explosives
as Hilal Hyders vehicle was passing
through a crowded market in the city of
Peshawar, said police offcer Asif Iqbal.
Hyder, who was investigating cases
against militants in the troubled north-
west, was killed along with two of his
guards and two bystanders, said Iqbal.
At least 37 other people were wounded.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman
Ahsanullah Ahsan claimed responsi-
bility for the attack, saying Hyder was
working against the militant group.
We killed him today in Peshawar
because he was behind the arrest of
some of our fghters, Ahsan told The
Associated Press by telephone from an
undisclosed location.
The Pakistani Taliban have been
waging a bloody insurgency for the past
several years because they oppose the
Pakistani governments alliance with
the United States and want to enforce
Islamic law throughout the country.
Peshawar has experienced many at-
tacks because it is located on the edge
of Pakistans tribal region, the main
sanctuary for militants in the country.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Puerto Ricans have endorsed U.S.
statehood for the Caribbean island
but also ousted the pro-statehood
governor in a close election.
Gov. Luis Fortuno conceded de-
feat Wednesday to his main chal-
lenger afer concluding there were
not enough outstanding ballots to
close the gap with his main chal-
lenger, Alejandro Garcia Padilla.
Te margin in Tuesdays vote was
less than 1 percent.
Now its time for us to come to-
gether as one people. Te campaign
is over, Fortuno said in a news con-
ference.
Fortuno, as a member of the
pro-statehood New Progressive
Party, said he was pleased that 61
percent of voters endorsed becom-
ing a U.S. state, though critics said
the two-part ballot was confusing
to many and would not be enough
to persuade the Congress to accept
Puerto Rico into the union.
Fortuno, who is also a Republi-
can, was a supporter of U.S. presi-
dential candidate Mitt Romney and
campaigned for him in Florida.
Garcia is part of the Popular
Democratic Party, which wants
Puerto Rico to remain semi-auton-
omous U.S. commonwealth.
Te two-part referendum asked
whether the island wanted to change
its 114-year relationship with the
United States. Nearly 54 percent, or
922,374 people, sought to change it,
while 46 percent, or 786,749 people,
favored the status quo. Ninety-six
percent of 1,643 precincts were re-
porting as of early Wednesday.
Te second question asked voters
to choose from three options, with
statehood by far the favorite, gar-
nering 61 percent. Sovereign free
association, which would have al-
lowed for more autonomy, received
33 percent, while independence got
5 percent.
President Barack Obama earlier
expressed support for the referen-
dum and pledged to respect the will
of the people in the event of a clear
majority.
Fortuno and Resident Commis-
sioner Pedro Pierluisi, the islands
representative in Congress, said the
results of the referendum will be
delivered to the Obama administra-
tion and the leadership in Congress
with the hope that they will back
the bid for statehood.
Te ball is now in Congress
court and Congress will have to re-
act to this result, Pierluisi, a mem-
ber of the pro-statehood party who
was re-elected Tuesday. Tis is a
clear result that says no to the cur-
rent status.
Te island is currently a U.S. ter-
ritory whose inhabitants are U.S.
citizens but are prohibited from
voting in presidential elections. Its
resident commissioner in the U.S.
House also has limited voting pow-
ers.
Garcia celebrated his victory with
supporters at party headquarters.
I can assure you we have rescued
Puerto Rico, Garcia said. Tis is a
lesson to those who think that the
well-being of Puerto Ricans should
be subjected to ideologies.

Farrington.
T
here is something spe-
cial that occurs at the end
of October, and classes
shouldnt get in the way of it.
Sure the dog days of classes
are weighing heavily upon us,
but instead of cracking under the
pressure we keep going on little
sleep and a whole lot of cafeine.
Its basketball season. Tere is no
time to slack. Te name Jayhawk
evokes a sense of pride and tradi-
tion. Te University of Kansas is
known for basketball. It is almost
mandatory to love it in order to be
a Jayhawk. Here, we do it right. We
have lottery at 6 a.m., the camp-
ing all week long, the sprinting
to the best seats, the waiting, the
newspaper ripping, the cheering,
and ultimately the game.
If our world revolves around the
loudest sporting arena in the coun-
try and a legendary game with a
certain set of rules, then why isnt
everyone participating? Frankly,
there exist students that do not
want to participate. Its crazy to
believe, I know, but its true. Some
classes are held in the evening and
although I think its absolutely ab-
surd that attendance is mandatory,
many are not canceled on account
of a basketball game. Professors
should know that all students are
going to do is think of the game,
check phones for updates on the
game, and not listen to a word spo-
ken. Trust me, I know I am more
interested in what @FakeJefWithey
will tweet next than what I am
supposed to be learning.
Dont even get me started on
exams. Really? When a schools
essence screams basketball, why
is there an exam scheduled smack
dab in the middle of a game? I
want to watch the action on the
court, not draw pictures on my
scantron.
Many students matriculate to
the University for the sole experi-
ence of basketball in Te Phog. It
is a huge marketing point for the
university for athletes and fans.
When I was in ffh grade my friend
took me as her guest to watch the
Jayhawks play at Kemper Arena
in Kansas City. From the moment
I heard that frst swish of a three-
point shot, I was in love. I began
to truly appreciate the sport and
the tradition of basketball at the
University. Basketball means ev-
erything here in Lawrence. It is the
reason we buy the Sports Combo
pack. We love sports and we love
our athletes. Terefore, no one
should have to choose between
basketball and anything else.
Ill ask the childhood question:
If you were stranded on an island
and could only have one thing,
what would it be? My answer: Jay-
hawk basketball. It seems like a lot,
but its the one thing I cannot sur-
vive without. I bleed crimson and
blue and will forever chant from
the top of my lungs: Rock Chalk
Jayhawk!

T
he Lawrence bar scene
ofers a variety of enter-
taining establishments to
the nightlife masses. If you pre-
fer trendy joints with loud mu-
sic and dancing, look no further
than Abe and Jakes Landing. For
those seeking a diverse selection
of draf beer, Free State Brewing
Co. is a more than viable option.
Te Hawk and the Wheel have
become ritual drinking grounds
for the younger University crowd,
and its become common knowl-
edge that dollar night at the Hawk
can make or break any students
semester.
But what about the other bars
around this fne city that are never
talked about? A night out at a
hole-in-the-wall drinking es-
tablishment has become a lost art
in the fast-paced socializing world
of today, and its about time we
slowed things down just a bit.
Teres nothing more frus-
trating to me than attempting to
shoot a crucial billiards shot in a
crowded bar. Im sure that comes
of as petty, but its true. When I
head to Ricks Place, I know that
my mild form of claustrophobia
wont be an issue. Ricks has been
my go-to social hangout ever since
I returned to the University two
years ago. Located at ninth and Il-
linois streets, Ricks has more than
enough interior space to compli-
ment a less-than impressive crowd
size. Billiards tables, shufeboard,
darts, heck, even a homemade
popcorn machine is on tap. Te
music never gets too loud because
the owner, Rick, usually wants to
watch a baseball game or watch
the news. Its the little things that
Ricks provides that keeps me
coming back for more.
I know what a lot of you are
saying, why would I go to a hole-
in-the-wall bar when I could hang
out with more people at a more
popular bar? And honestly, I
dont really have a legitimate an-
swer. I have my preferences for
going out and I respect everyone
elses as well. My point, and the
whole point of this column really,
is that a hole-in-the-wall joint
provides a comfortable escape
from our academically-demand-
ing lives in ways that Te Cave
and Quintons cannot. Conver-
sations with friends can be bet-
ter heard, comfortable space is in
abundance, and theres a vibe that
seems to echo, chill out, bro to
the drunken folk who grace us
with their loud and boisterous
presences every so ofen.
Either way, Lawrence is provid-
ing us with a plethora of pleasant
beer-drinking establishments, and
we should all be grateful for it. If
you want to hit up Te Hawk on a
Wednesday night and stay past 2
a.m. turning you into a lumber-
ing human corpse stumbling down
Ohio street, or as my brother and I
label them, walkersthen by all
means party on. College is sup-
posed to be about personal free-
dom and experiences, and lord
knows Ive been a walker more
times than Id care to disclose.
Just dont forget about the Ricks
of the world, because they still
have plenty to ofer in the realm of
modern drinking establishments.
Heres to safe drinking wherever
you decide to venture.

I
f youre a loyal reader of the
Kansan like I am, you know
that most of the outside
pages of the paper are only there
to protect the delicate Free For
All within, and youve probably
texted the FFA at least once. Ive
even sent in a text (in an attempt
to fnd a Pok-fangirl whos into
wimpy writers), albeit one that
was promptly shot down on the
grounds that it sounded too co-
herent and contained a proper-
ly-used semicolon.
But many people forget that
theres an editor behind the FFA.
And even though the FFA editor
gets a few marriage proposals or
ofers for casual sex per semester,
I dont think he gets all the re-
spect he deserves for overseeing
the most important foot-and-a-
half of type in the Kansan. So Im
writing a novelization of his ex-
periences as editor, and you loyal
readers who havent yet moved
on to the real star of the opinion
page get a sneak peek:
Suddenly, a whole bunch of
them came screaming around
the corner, sirens blaring. Te
fuzz. As they pushed out of their
cars and clustered around me, I
felt more stifed than the Potter
Lake whale stuck in the cam-
pus plumbing. I fgured the only
thing I could do was play dumb,
so I whipped out my phone.
Name? one of the coppers
grunted.
Editor. Fred Forrest Ambrose
Editor or FFA to my friends. I
glanced down at my phone and
chortled, Look athat. Squirrels
attacked my girlfriends pump-
kincan you believe that? I held
it up for the boys in blue to see,
and they looked at me like youd
look at a guy dressed as Slender-
man on stilts.
You know why were having
this little meeting, Editor?
Squirrels came back and fn-
ished my pumpkin of! Tats
rich, aint it, coppers?
As I kept laughing, the frus-
trated fuzz fled back into their
cars and drove of. Te squirrels
came for our pumpkins; will they
come for our newspapers next?
Ron Paul 2012! Tink that ones
a little too far of-base
***
But you got to print it, Mis-
ter Editor! Ill be ruined if you
dont! the dame shouted. She
had a right to be distressed; it was
the day before Halloween, and
she was wearing a Sarah Palin
mask and a little red dress with a
neckline so low you coulda called
it a waistline.
Sorry, maam, I slurred
back between sips from my hip
fask, but Im in the business of
160-character replies. Tis rant
about slutty costumes would
barely ft in the space of three
tweets, and it would make me
unfollow you, to boot.
You dont understand how
hard it is to go to a party as a Sexy
Former Governor of Alaska and
not get laughed out of the build-
ing! If you dont print it, I wont
make it through the night with
my dignity!
Te dame was hysterical, and
I knew the only way to shut her
up was to give in. Listen, the dig-
nitys a lost cause, but if youll cut
out the last three sentences and
add in a marriage proposal, its a
done deal.
***
Ive seen a lotta strange mes-
sages come across that desk in my
time, I muttered to myself, but
I aint never seen one like this.
Okay, ladies, listen up. At least
one of you is a single, sober Pok-
fanatic who likes to cuddle with
humor columnists; come fnd
me, stat? Te guys a nutcase.
But before I could say another
word, I saw the squirrel hurtling
across the room. Te last thing I
can remember before I blanked
out was an acorn hitting me right
between the eyes.

Theres nothing like going to the
movies. As a kid, Id spend my sum-
mer days at the local theater for a
$2 matinee. For my first date, I
saw a horror movie and got to hold
the girl when she was scared. Even
in my senior year of high school,
Id spend Thursday nights at the
midnight releases of films. Movie
theaters and movies in general have
played a big part in my life, and as
an aspiring film journalist, theyll
continue to do so. Unfortunately,
$2 matinees no longer exist, my
parents dont give me money for
dates anymore, and with rent to
pay and too many trips to the bar,
a night at the movies has become a
financial burden.
But despite rising ticket prices,
3D glasses fees and high popcorn
prices, seeing the silver screen can
still be affordable. Whether youre
into action, drama or documentary,
Lawrence has plenty of options for
cheap movie buffs of all sorts.
The KU Collegiate Veterans
Association has a free screening
of the documentary Restrepo at
7 p.m. tonight at the KU Visitors
Center auditorium. The film fol-
lows the deployment of a team of
U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan at the
remote 15-man outpost, Restrepo.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize
for documentaries at the Sundance
Film Festival in 2010, so its criti-
cally worth checking out, and the
screening is sponsored by Coca-
Cola, so the free drinks alone will
save $10 you would have spent at
the megaplex.
Also tonight is a snowboard-
ing double feature at Liberty Hall.
The first screening is the premiere
of Absinthe Films 2012 feature
Resonance, which showcases
notable snowboarders Scotty Lago
and Danny Cass alongside many
more. I worked at a ski shop in
Aspen for a bit and boarded as
much as I could, so trust me, even
if you dont follow snowboard-
ing, these films are a ton of fun
to watch. The event also features
the documentary Open Spaces,
by Lawrence native Dalton Paley.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and tickets
are $5.
War documentaries and snow-
board flicks arent for everyone,
though, so starting tonight the
Student Union Activities campus
movie series is playing The Dark
Knight Rises. For those who didnt
spend $15 to see it this summer
or for those who loved it so much
they want to see it again, here is
your chance. Tickets are only $2 for
KU Students ($3 for general public)
so check out the batty blockbuster
at Woodruff Auditorium at 8 p.m.
tonight through Saturday.
For a unique movie-going
experience on really any day of
the week, check out Liberty Hall.
Weve all been to the AMCs and
Hollywood Theaters of the indus-
try, but Liberty Hall is more than
100 years old and serves beer. The
theater shows mostly indepen-
dent films but always offers an
interesting variety to choose from.
And if you cant fit a movie into
your weekend schedule, Tuesdays
are 2-for-1 movie nights, which is
totally worth the weeknight outing.
Liberty Hall is currently screening
Seven Psychopaths and Liberal
Arts, both of which I would highly
recommend.
So either find a lady-friend with
a big purse to sneak in your store-
bought candy, or just try out a free
showing at an offbeat venue. Either
way, nothing compares to craning
your neck in a dark auditorium
with loud speakers and slipping
away into the magical world of
movies.

Its freezing, and the only things
you want to put on are your fuzzy
slippers and a warm hoodie from
high school. But please, Im begging
you to not give in to these dangerous
temptations. Just because its below
zero does not mean all fashion has
gone out the door. You can still
be warm and cozy while remaining
stylish, and Im about to tell you
how.
While winter accessories such as
gloves and hats may sound dorky to
some, they are nothing but chic and
smart when done correctly. If youre
sporting those puffy ski gloves you
found in the garage years ago, then
maybe its time for an update. Fun
styles such as leather and fingerless
gloves are a must. The fingerless
style is great for when youre still try-
ing to use your phone or drive, and
can even be worn as a fun accessory
when its perhaps not even necessary
to wear gloves. Details such as pleat-
ing, cutouts, bows and zippers make
staying warm that much cooler.
As for hats, Im sure most of us
have heard from our parents how
important it is to wear this article
of clothing during the chilly fall
and winter seasons. Not only does
this accessory help hide a bad hair
day and trap in warmth, but its a
great fashion statement as well. If
youre familiar with a fedora for
summer, let me introduce to you
the winter-friendly version. Rather
than wearing one made of straw, the
winter rendition is typically made
from wool, and has a wider, cowboy-
inspired brim. Opt for a color such
as burgundy or hunter green, two
major colors for this season.
As for coats, the possibilities are
endless. For chilly fall weather, leath-
er jackets, trench coats, military-
inspired cover-ups and capes are
must-haves. Add a pattern and you
have yourself a winner. Turn those
dreary winter days into fashionably
freezing temperatures by searching
for a down coat that doesnt hide
your figure. It may sound like an
oxymoron, but not all down coats
make you look like a marshmallow.
Knee lengths with a belt at the waist
help define a human body beneath
all that warmth. If youre looking
for something even more fabulous,
faux fur can be found just about
anywhere, and the campus squirrels
will even approve. If youre not ready
for a full fur coat just yet, detachable
collars for coats, as well as scarves or
fur-trimmed hats, are a stylish start.

A unique show with local artists
is preparing to blow the minds of
its patrons with an upcoming per-
formance.
The Kansas Citybased show
Quixotic, which originally began
its creative ventures in abandoned
warehouses and buildings in the
Kansas City area in 2005, will per-
form tomorrow night at the Lied
Center. Much like Cirque du Soleil,
the groups routines cover a vari-
ety of disciplines including music,
dance, film and acrobatics.
Theres great production value
and great energy in all of their
shows, said Tim Van Leer, execu-
tive director at the Lied Center.
Theyre always adding something
and reinventing themselves all the
time.
While the group is based in
Kansas City, theyve progressed to
a national presence and now have
a national booking company and
headquarters in Los Angeles and
New York. They also performed
at this years annual Technology,
Entertainment and Design (TED)
conference in Long Beach, Calif.
Weve gotten to travel all over
the U.S., and now we get to do
bigger and better shows in Kansas
City, Quixotics principal dancer
Laura Jones said. We used to do
one big show a year, but now weve
performed for different workshops,
corporations and performing cen-
ters.
Jones, who has been with Quixotic
for the last four years, shared her
thoughts on the shows style.
Its very unique because of the
dancing, she said. We all really
like the dance styles and love that
we also get to perform to live music.
Its fun to bring new ideas to life and
also explore new ideas.
The live aspects of the show also
appealed to another one of the per-
formers, Brandon Draper, whos not
only a contributor to Quixotic but
also an adjunct professor of percus-
sion at the University.
The collaboration and creating
of new pieces has been great because
were creating our own standard,
Draper said. Everything the col-
laboration and different disciplines
is completely on our own and
original and local.
Draper, who has been contrib-
uting since 2008, was originally
recruited to the show to write a
piece for them. Since then, hes
contributed with the shows other
musicians and revealed that a few
University students will also be par-
ticipating.
We hope that people in Lawrence
will become fans and students come
to see boundaries pushed further
than before, he said. They might
see different takes on how every-
thing with the show works together
and let their imaginations go fur-
ther.

Robert Zemeckis makes his
long-awaited return to live action
with the release of Flight, his first
non-animated effort since helm-
ing Castaway with Tom Hanks
back in 2000. Viewers put off by
the doll-eyed languor of his CGI
Polar Express and Beowulf
can rest easy knowing the Back to
the Future directors abilities are
largely undiminished, despite the
uneven quality of his newest work.
Flight is a well-meaning
mlange, a drama that starts off as
a powerful, fiercely acted charac-
ter study before nose-diving into
a forced, arbitrary resolution that
strains credulity and contradicts
everything the audience has by
then come to understand about
Whip Whitaker, the alcoholic
airline pilot played with implo-
sive intensity by an Oscar-caliber
Denzel Washington.
When we first meet Whip, hes
shacked up in a hotel room with
nubile flight attendant Katerina
(Nadine Velazquez), nullifying the
previous nights hangover with a
few liberal snorts of cocaine. It is
made clear from the beginning that
despite a surfeit of skill and a back-
ground in the Navy, Whip is a sad,
arrogant waste of a man, one who
certainly has no business working
as a pilot.
Less than an hour later, this same
man is flying a jetliner carrying 102
passengers in the midst of a rag-
ing thunderstorm, his nerves fixed
somewhere between ice-veined
assurance and reckless mania.
Suddenly the controls fail and the
aircraft enters free fall. Whip, call-
ing on all his experience and a
considerable amount of dumb luck,
manages to set the plane down in a
field outside of Atlanta, minimizing
passenger casualties while execut-
ing a complete inversion, a process
that requires flying upside down.
Zemeckis stages the crash with
startling intimacy, immersing the
viewer in a fog of fear and panic.
The lurching chaos on display is
offset by Whip calmly comforting
his flight crew, even when the plane
glides close enough to a church that
its wings cut through the steeple.
This is the most effective scene of
its kind since the ending of Paul
Greengrasss United 93.
The rest of the movie deals with
the aftermath of the crash, includ-
ing the investigation that kicks off
when Whips blood tests reveal the
apparent hero was legally intoxi-
cated at the time of the accident.
This prompts Charlie (Bruce
Greenwood), Whips longtime
friend and a pilots union rep, to
elicit help from a flashy Chicago
lawyer (Don Cheadle) who brags
that his clients never go to jail.
Whip, wracked with guilt over the
six deaths he may have caused,
hooks up with a recovering junkie
named Nicole (Kelly Reilly, Dr.
Watsons wife in the Sherlock
Holmes series) and tries to sober
up in time for a hearing with an
investigative bigwig (Melissa Leo).
Aside from Washington, Flight
also features several invaluable
supporting performances. John
Goodman elevates his every scene as
Whips jocular drug dealer Harling,
whose arrival is usually heralded
by the Rolling Stones Sympathy
for the Devil (just one of the gems
on the films oldies-laden sound-
track). Greenwood, an underrated
performer if there ever was one, lets
his characters brotherly concern
for Whip shine through his low-key
exterior in a way thats genuinely
moving.
The trailer for Flight suggests a
very different movie from the one
youll find here. This isnt a conspir-
acy thriller or an action film in the
vein of Washingtons runaway train
hit Unstoppable. This is a por-
trait of a self-destructive alcoholic,
similar in spirit to something like
Leaving Las Vegas. Washingtons
character is not meant to be
especially likeable, but his flaws
never feel less than fully, tragically
human.
The downfall of the film is
its unabashed Hollywood end-
ing, which compels Whip to start
behaving in ways that only serve to
drive the plot, closing the story on
a note of sour sentiment, roughly
15 minutes after a scene that would
have made for an ideal farewell.
Its as if Zemeckis, after more than
two hours of dutifully chronicling
Whips spiral of substance abuse,
suddenly wanted to make an
entirely different movie, adding a
Lifetime-worthy conclusion that
grounds the rest of Flight like ice
on the wings of a plane.

Snowboarding success
From the standpoint of an outsider,
the life of a professional extreme sports
athlete looks glamorous. Although the
struggles on their turf are visible to their
fans, what goes on behind the scenes
can sometimes be just as stressful.
Tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Liberty Hall,
Hand Built Productions will present two
snowboarding documentaries: Their
Own Open Space and Absinthe Films
Resonance.
Written and directed by pro snow-
boarder Mike Basich and Hand Built
Productions Dalton Paley, Open Space
is Basichs autobiography, the untold
stories of his personal journey through
the sport of snowboarding.
After he was diagnosed with epilepsy
at age eight, he turned to snowboard-
ing as a kind of medication. In the flm,
Basich claims he was hooked for life
when he frst started encountered the
sport in 1985.
Almost miraculously, tests revealed
two years later that he was free and
clear of the condition. By then, Basich
had already been experiencing success
as a contender in competitions, and
there was no doubt he would continue to
pursue his passion.
I wasnt about to let go of what I had,
and my heart was set on snowboarding,
Basich said in the flm.
Tickets to see both flms are $5, and a
portion of the proceeds will go to beneft
the Humane Society.

Before every practice, before
every walkthrough and before
every home game, the Kansas
Jayhawks are reminded of what is
expected from them.
A huge whiteboard with a list of
team goals hangs just outside the
Jayhawks locker room. If the goals
are met, a helmet sticker is added
for that game; if not, it stays blank.
This season the stickers have been
coming in patches, but that hasnt
altered Kansas objectives.
The goals never change, Kansas
coach Charlie Weis said. You add
things to that list, you dont take
things away from that list.
At the top of the list: Win a Big
12 game. From there the list gets
more specific. The defense has its
eyes set on holding their oppo-
nent to under 21 points, less than
125-yards rushing and to make a
minimum of 15 disruptive plays
tackles for loss, fumble recoveries,
deflected passes, etc.
For the Kansas players, the stick-
ers represent a point of pride, but
not every action gets rewarded with
a piece of adhesive art. For some
Jayhawks, their personal goals are
just as important.
Its improvement in leadership
that has freshman quarterback
Michael Cummings focused.
A leader that is looked up to
by his teammates always leads by
example first and speaks second,
Cummings said. Thats one of the
things I like to do.
For some of the other Jayhawks
the goal is to play at their full
potential, and the inability to reach
that isnt something a sticker can
bandage.
I expect myself to do so good,
but I still am a young buck out
there on the field, sophomore tight
end Jimmay Mundine said. Im not
happy at all because Ive got high
expectations for myself. I worked
hard over the summer to achieve
those goals and hopefully go above
and beyond those goals.
Mundine has been working to
become more sound in the Kansas
run game. He said in practice he
feels comfortable with his foot-
work, but in games he sometimes
panics as a blocker. As a receiver,
Mundine hopes to add onto his
total of two touchdowns this year.
If there is one thing about these
Jayhawks, its that they can see how
close they are to getting an elusive
Big 12 victory. The last few years
of Kansas football has seen players
looking worn down as the season
has come to a close. With this team
its the opposite. There is optimism
in the locker room, and the players
feel closer than ever to getting over
the hump.
But getting climbing that hill
this year will require something
Kansas hasnt done since Sept. 12,
2009: win a road game.
Id like to develop a mindset
that it doesnt matter where you
play, Defensive coordinator Dave
Campo said. Two of our next
three are on the road. We can make
some strides.
Campo and Weis have both
refused to continue with the
same road plan they have used all
season. One of the tweaks is for the
Jayhawks to hold a walkthrough at
the road venue to get more accli-
mated to the surroundings and
keep the players focused on foot-
ball when they run out of the tun-
nel on Saturday.
Changing Kansas road mental-
ity could kill two goals with one
sticker getting a Big 12 win and
doing so outside of Lawrence.
We all need to do a better job
when were on the road, Weis said.
In the last three games, thats not
the way its gone. That would be an
add-on, not a subtraction.

Sophomore tight end Jimmay Mundine rolls into the end zone to earn the Jayhawks
their frst touchdown of the game against oklahoma State earlier this year.
Jacob Wilson/the kansas state colleGian
outside hitter Catherine Carmichael pushes the ball past Kansas State blockers. the womens volleyball team won the match and the series against K-State yesterday night in Manhattan.
K
ansas basketball fans can
melt down with the best of
them, and Tuesdays awful
showing against Washburn, a Divi-
sion-II opponent from Topeka, gave
them as good a reason as any to do
just that. But this isnt about the vast
diferences between a meaningless
exhibition and the regular season,
because anyone who watched that
62-50 abomination of a basketball
game topped of with the great
referee Tim Higgins, who has never
seen a touch foul he didnt love
saw that Self cared little about throt-
tling the Ichabods by 40 points. His
team played badly, and at times he
yanked guys out afer one mistake,
undoubtedly trying to send mes-
sages before the real games start to-
morrow night.
Tis isnt about Kansas possibly
struggling to win its ninth Big 12
regular season title in a row, either.
With all those puppies, as Self calls
them, on the roster, it would be hard
to argue against someone picking
the Jayhawks to relinquish their Big
12 crown.
But I gave up on picking against
Self in the regular season last year.
Hes too good.
Allen Fieldhouse is too big of a
home court advantage.
Te rest of the Big 12 is not tal-
ented enough and too intimidated
by Self and his teams, especially over
an 18-game conference schedule.
But there are defnite question
marks.
We dont have guys that will go
out and get you 36 between the two
of them over the course of a Big 12
season like Tomas and Ty did, Self
said last month at Big 12 Media Day.
Tat will be the challenge to me is
having the really good players step
up and become excellent players.
Te roster is full of good players,
and for the frst time since 2005-
2006, there isnt a clear star or
group of stars, like 2008 as of
right now. A few of those puppies
will turn into all conferencetype
players, my vote going to Ben Mc-
Lemore and Perry Ellis.
Senior center Jef Withey will
eventually become that next great
Kansas big man, taking over for
Tomas Robinson, Cole Aldrich,
Darrell Arthur and on and on. With-
ey averaged 9.0 ppg and 6.3 rpg last
season as Tomas Robinson drew
all the attention from opponents.
Tomas would get doubled,
and Jef would beneft from that,
Self said at last months Big 12 Me-
dia Day. Tis year, defenses will be
designed to stop Jef, so him getting
12 points a game will show great im-
provement.
Doubting Witheys ability to take
over that role isnt unwarranted. But
doubting a Kansas big man to take a
leap in production when given the
opportunity is foolish.
Robinson took over for the Mor-
ris twins, who followed Cole Al-
drich. Aldrich followed Darnell
Jackson and Sasha Kaun, who sat
behind Wayne Simien for a season.
All of those players played profes-
sionally at one point.
Te bottom line is, Self said at
last seasons awards banquet, when
talking about the roster turnover
hes faced nearly every season while
continuing to win the conference,
We do what we do.
Tere isnt a simpler way to put it.

COUNTDOWN TO
beatdown in Manhattan
sunfloWer sWeep
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas
was struggling, and they were
struggling badly. For the second
straight match, the Jayhawks didnt
even compete in the first set, losing
to Kansas State 25-13.
Sara McClinton didnt care.
Heeding the words of injured
libero Brianne Riley, McClinton,
the sophomore outside hitter, took
over late in the second set, record-
ing two kills and the set-ending
block to draw Kansas level with
Kansas State at one set apiece.
I got a lot of my mentality from
Bri, McClinton said. Since she
couldnt contribute playing-wise,
she was like, Ok Sara, you need
to have confidence in yourself and
have the team feed off of it. Youre
one of the most calm ones right
now, so use that to attack and
demand the ball.
After taking the second set
28-26, the Jayhawks won two more
extended sets, 26-24 and 27-25, to
sweep the Wildcats in both season
games for the first time since 2009.
Both teams had to scrap until
the end, though. The Jayhawks led
24-22 in the fourth set, but a ser-
vice error and a Wildcat block tied
the set at 24. Sophomore outside
hitter Chelsea Albers responded
with her 11th kill of the match,
and Kansas converted its fourth
match point on the next play when
a Wildcat attack went long.
I had a feeling we had it the
whole time, and then it was 24-22
and they came back, junior setter
Erin McNorton said. I did get a
little nervous. I still thought we had
it, but once that final point went
down it was crazy.
Coach Ray Bechard said he was
frustrated his team committed two
service errors late in the set that
could have cost them the victory,
but that his team proved their resil-
iency by converting on their fourth
match point.
We made a lot of great plays to
finally finish the set off, Bechard
said. But you cant have back-to-
back service errors at that point
in time. But thats a team thats
resilient in that they can find a way
to make another play to make up
for that.
The Jayhawks are in the tough-
est stretch of
their sched-
ule, hav-
ing already
d r o p p e d
m a t c h e s
a g a i n s t
Iowa State
and Baylor.
With a home
match loom-
ing against Big
12leading Texas
on Saturday, Kansas was running
out of chances to impress the
NCAA Selection Committee.
After the first set, the only
impression Kansas made was
that it didnt have any chemistry
without Riley.
The Wildcats had two of their
six service aces in the first set and
repeatedly forced Kansas out of
system with its serves. Without
Riley, the Jayhawks couldnt estab-
lish a go-to person in the back line
for digging. K-State took advantage
with 15 first set kills.
In the beginning it was super
shaky, McNorton said. I think
thats what got
us off to the bad
25-13 start was
our passes were
just not there, so
we had to resort
to out-of system
plays.
While Kansas
back line strug-
gled at first, its
middle blockers and outside hit-
ters made up for it at the net. Both
teams finished with 11 blocks, but
Kansas made more of them at criti-
cal times. Senior middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree and McClinton
teamed for the block that gave
Kansas the second set, and Albers
was part of a late block in the third
and fourth set that extended the
Jayhawks lead.
Four Jayhawk attackers finished
with double-digit kills. Bechard
said McClintons 16 kills were
important because many of them
came in the first two sets when
Kansas was still figuring out its
passing.
They were a little out-of-system
sets and she took heavy, aggressive
swings, Bechard said. We talked
a little bit about competitive cour-
age before the match started, and
I think that was a good example
of it.
Kansas moved to 21-5 overall
and 9-3 in the conference with the
victory. The Jayhawks play at home
Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against No.
3 Texas.

The Jayhawks passing game has been an issue all year. Even with a solid run
game, Kansas inability to throw has robbed itself of valuable points. We saw last
week against Baylor that playing high-scoring teams on the road would be the
ultimate challenge for the Jayhawks. It does have to take an Andrew Luck-type
performance, but neither Kansas starting quarterback has completed more than
50 percent of its passes since losing to Kansas State.

The Jayhawks defense didnt do their offense any favors last week. Kansas gave up
21 unanswered points in the second half after a close battle in the frst 30 minutes.
Part of the problem was the Bears passing game backing up the Kansas defenders
and allowing Baylor to run. The good news: While Texas Tech boasts the fourth-best
passing game in the country, it has the worst run offense in the Big 12.
momeNTum
Texas Tech presents many of the same offensive problems as
Baylor did a week ago. Quarterback Seth Doege has passed for more
touchdowns (19) than anyone else in the Big 12, while throwing just
seven interceptions. But the Red Raiders offense is somewhat one-
dimensional. Texas Tech averages only 3.5 yards per rush, so the key
to this game will be slowing down Techs passing game.
aT a GLaNce
This part of the season will
get very tough for running
backs coach Reggie Mitchell.
Kansas biggest weapon is its
stable of runners, but teams
are starting to catch on. After
rushing for nearly 100 yards
in the frst half against Baylor
last week, James Sims fnished
with just 126 yards. Keeping
the run effective will be crucial
for the Jayhawks in their last
three games.
coachING PLayer To WaTch
Ron Doherty returned to form last Sat-
urday with six punts averaging 44.3 yards
per kick. Fixing the pestering special teams
problems has been a huge concern for Kan-
sas coach Charlie Weis lately. After calling
for all hands on deck it seems hes found
some more stability with the unit. Still, feld
goals have got to become a more viable op-
tion for the low-scoring Jayhawks.
sPecIaL Teams
?
quesTIoN marKs
?
Can James Sims keep up his streak of 100-yard rushing games?
The Jayhawks certainly need his production. Will Texas Tech tempt
Weis to opt for more passes? Since becoming the Jayhawks starter,
Michael Cummings has only completed 22 of 49 pass attempts.
And will the Jayhawks score more than 20 points? They havent
been able to do so since putting up 23 on Northern Illinois in week
four.
Kansas can perform on the road
like it does at home. The Jayhawks
have been able to limit high-scor-
ing offenses to 21 points or less
in Lawrence, but not on the road.
Staying competitive until the end
is the next challenge for Kansas.

Texas Techs offense is red hot and one of the best in the Big 12. Texas Tech leads the
conference for most passing touchdowns. Led by quarterback Seth Doege and a strong
offensive line, the Red Raiders offense is mostly passing oriented. Doeges thrown 31
touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year and hopes to improve his numbers against
Kansas. Running backs Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens Jr. have not been involved in
game plans very much. Expect the Red Raiders to go pass heavy on the Jayhawks.

Tommy Tuberville has coached a good defense, coordinated by Art Kaufman.
The defense is ranked 18th in the country and third in the Big 12. Texas Techs
pass defense is second in the conference, thanks to safety Cody Davis, who
won Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week in Week 7. The defense runs a 4-3
style and sometimes shifts into a nickel package with Tre Porter as the extra
defensive back.
momeNTum
Texas Tech opened the season ninth in the Big 12 polls with few
expectations. Although the Red Raiders are 3-3 in the conference,
they have some standout players whove had their names featured in
the spotlight. An unbalanced offense and inconsistency on defense
has kept them away from being ranked higher, but theyve won more
games than many had expected, and in doing so have already ex-
ceeded expectations for 2012.
aT a GLaNce
Like any coach, Tommy Tuberville
took the necessary routes to land
head coaching gigs with multiple
schools throughout his coaching
career. He spent four years as the
defensive line and linebackers coach
at Arkansas State. He made a name
for himself at Miami as an eight-year
assistant and as the defensive coor-
dinator for Texas A&M for one season.
Tuberville was the head coach at Ole
Miss for four years and at Auburn for
10 years. Since 2010, Tuberville as
been with Texas Tech and has led it
to a 19-15 record so far.
coachING
Wide receiver Eric Ward can
make the biggest difference in
this game for the Red Raiders.
Ward isnt in the top 50 in the
nation in either receptions or
receiving yards. But that hasnt
stopped Seth Doege from fnd-
ing him in the end zone. Ward
is tied ffth in the nation for
most touchdown catches with
10. Ward has been a red-zone
threat for opposing defensive backs. What makes this more
interesting is the fact that Kansas is frst in the Big 12 in
red-zone defense. Keep an eye on Ward when Texas Tech
has the ball inside the 20.
PLayer To WaTch
Kicker Ryan Bustin has made 12 of 17 feld goals this year,
with misses from various distances. Texas Tech will want
Bustin to come through if its stopped in the red zone. Kick
returner SaDale Foster and punt returner Austin Zouzalik
havent made much noise on special teams but have a
chance to change that against Kansas. The Jayhawks
have allowed some big returns this season, most notably
against Oklahoma.
sPecIaL Teams
?
quesTIoN marKs
?
Can Texas Tech limit its turnovers?
Although Texas Tech has played well this season, its 3-3 conference record is due
to the 10 turnovers the team has committed this year. If Kansas creates a couple
of turnovers on the road and follow up with scores, Texas Tech could fnd itself in
jeopardy of losing its top 25 spot in the rankings.
Will the Red Raiders draw a lot of penalties?
The Red Raiders, as good as they are, have been guilty of 44 penalties, which
counts for the most in the conference. Texas Tech must be mentally prepared and
more focused this week to prevent from having yellow fags thrown its direction.
Kansas cant compete in the
second half on the road. Its a
trend with the Jayhawks. Their
road performance in conference
games havent gone well in the
second half. Charlie Weis has told
his players that they need to play
four full quarters of good football
if they want any shot at winning,
especially on the road in diffcult
Big 12 environments.

Texas Tech has lost to Kansas just once in the two
teams history. The Red Raiders have defeated the Jay-
hawks in the previous fve meetings. This year, the Red
Raiders have played well and have six wins, three within
the conference, under their belt. They have the upper hand
going into this game against the Jayhawks, but Tuberville
wont take any game lightly.

A
s the NFL reaches the halfway
point of the season, lets look at
how the top five picks from the
2012 draft are doing with their new teams.
I have ranked the five players based on the
order they were picked in the draft. I have
also given each player a grade on how they
are doing thus far in their young rookie
careers.
#1 ANdREW LuCk QB
INdIANAPoLIS CoLtS
Grade: A
2012 Stats: 2,404 passing yards, 10 tds, 8 ints
So far at the midway point of the season,
Luck has answered all his critics by leading
the Colts to a 5-3 record. This is already three
more wins than the 2011 squad who finished
the season with a miserable 2-14 record. Last
Sunday, Luck set a new rookie record for
passing yards in a game when he threw for
433 yards against the Miami Dolphins last
Sunday. Luck broke Cam Newtons record
(432) that Newton passed for in his first
career NFL game in his rookie season last
year. The Colts sit in 2nd place right now
in the AFC south right behind the Houston
Texans. If the Colts and Lucks success con-
tinues, we might be seeing the Colts in the
playoffs this season after being the worst
team in the NFL last season.

#2 RoBERt GRIFFIN III QB
WAShINGtoN REdSkINS
Grade: A
2012 stats: 1,993 passing yards, 3 ints/ 529
rushing yds, 14 total tds
Griffin was the second pick in the 2012
draft and is the main reason that the Redskins
have had any success this season. Griffin has
led the Redskins to a 3-6 record so far this
season with many offensive injuries, and a
defense that hasnt been able to stop anyones
opposing offense. The last few games Griffin
hasnt received too much help out of his
receiving core though, as they have dropped
too many passes. Two of the Redskins best
receivers, like Pierre Garcon, have been
injured for the majority of the season as well.
One player who has provided Griffin with
the most help on offense is rookie standout
running back Alfred Morris. Morris, from
Florida Atlantic, is 4th in the NFL in rushing
yards with 793. Once the offense gets healthy
and the defense starts improving, this team
will make a lot of noise in the NFC East for
years to come.

#3 tRENt RIChARdSoN RB
CLEvELANd BRoWNS
Grade: A-
2012 Stats: 575 rushing yards, 5 tds
Richardson, who was the third pick in the
2012 draft, has had about as good of a season
as a running back can have with a struggling
team like the Browns. The Browns feature a
rookie running back/quarterback duo with
Richardson and the 29-year-old rookie quar-
terback Brandon Weeden. The only problem
with this duo is that Richardson is the only
one who does his part. Weeden has a 67.9
passer rating and has thrown only 9 touch-
downs to 12 interceptions. Weedens 67.9
passer rating is the 2nd worst in the league,
and even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Matt Cassel has a higher passer rating than
Weeden. Even with an impressive two 100-
yard rushing games, Richardson should have
more yards than 575. Richardsons tough-
nosed running and work ethic should help
him develop into a star in the league for years
to come.

#4 MAtt kALIL ot
MINNESotA vIkINGS
Grade: B
2012 stats: N/A
Kalil, from UFC, has done a great job at the
left tackle position for the Minnesota Vikings
this season. Kalil has provided protection and
made life easier for the Vikings quarterback
Christian Ponder. He has also opened up
running lanes for arguably the leagues best
running back in Adrian Peterson. Kalil has
emerged as one of the best offensive linemen
for the Vikings and looks to help Peterson
and the Vikings in the long run. The Vikings
currently hold a 5-4 record and are 3rd in the
brutal NFC north.
#5 JuStIN BLACkMoN WR
JACkSoNvILLE JAGuARS
Grade: D
2012 stats: 225 receiving yards, 1 td
The former Oklahoma State star Blackmon
has yet to establish a real identity in the NFL.
Blackmons production is extremely low for
someone who was taken 5th overall in the
2012 draft. Blackmon is not the main prob-
lem though; its the fact that the Jacksonville
Jaguars are just plain awful. At 1-7 the
Jaguars feature a below-average quarterback
in Blaine Gabbert who has struggled to
develop chemistry with Blackmon. Sooner
or later Blackmon will likely have more
production in the NFL. The major concern
with Blackmon is that he doesnt amaze
you with his skill set the way that the young
receivers Julio Jones and A.J. Green do. Yes,
Blackmons only a rookie, and receivers often
take longer to develop in the league, but
so far he lacks the big-play ability and the
breakaway speed that elite receivers in the
NFL possess.

MIAMI Dwyane Wade scored
22 points on 10 for 14 shooting, Le-
Bron James fnished two assists shy
of a triple-double and the Miami
Heat improved to 4-0 at home for
the frst time in franchise history by
beating the Brooklyn Nets 103-73
on Wednesday night.
James had 20 points and 12 re-
bounds in only 30 minutes, and
Rashard Lewis scored 13 points
for the Heat (4-1). Miami which
plays its next six games on the road
has won its four home games by
an average of 17.8 points.
Kris Humphries had a double-
double by halfime, then was silent
in the second half and fnished with
11 points and 11 rebounds for the
Nets (1-2). Deron Williams scored
14 for Brooklyn, which got 12 of
the bench from MarShon Brooks.
Te Nets had 19 turnovers, which
Miami turned into 31 points.
Miami started 3-0 at home in
four other seasons, always falling in
the fourth game. Not this time.
Te Heat started 3 for 12 from
3-point range, then made seven of
their last 12, giving them 40 makes
from beyond the arc in their last
three games.
Brooklyn didnt lose sight of
Miami in the frst half, still being
within fve with less than a minute
remaining until the break, before
the Heat got late scores from Wade
and James to take a 50-41 edge into
the locker room.
It was a 54-46 game afer Keith
Bogans made a 3-pointer for
Brooklyn early in the third, but
afer that, all Heat. Miami needed
just 91 seconds to put together a
10-0 run two baskets by Wade
started it, and 3-pointers from
Shane Battier and Mario Chalm-
ers fnished it, putting the Heat up
64-46.
Te outcome was never again in
doubt. Chalmers extended the lead
to 20 when he sliced down the lane
for a nify layup with 3:45 lef in the
third, and James made a stepback
3-pointer as time was running out
in the period for what was then Mi-
amis largest lead, 79-56.
PAGE 5B thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, NoVEmBER 8, 2012
Kansas coach Bill Self is slowly
turning into a broken record with
how frequently he mentions that
freshman forward Perry Ellis needs
to become more aggressive on the
court.
Its a hard transition for a player
who could get by on his athleticism
in high school, but Ellis will play a
key role in the Kansas ofense when
the Jayhawks open their season
against Southeast Missouri State on
Friday.
He has all the talent in the
world right now, senior center Jef
Withey said. Hes going to be really
good if he can get out of his com-
fort zone and get out of his laid-
back approach.
Withey is familiar with the play-
ers being called laid back. He had
to work past the label of a laid-back
player when he frst arrived at Kan-
sas.
Eventually he worked through
that and became aggressive enough
on the court to be named the 2011-
12 Big 12 Defensive Player of the
Year.
But that doesnt mean Withey
doesnt have relapses from time to
time, such as the frst half of the
Jayhawks exhibition game against
Washburn, where he only recorded
one rebound and one block before
fnding himself on the bench.
Benching a player in practice,
however, isnt the most efcient way
to get results. But Self has a couple
of other tried-and-true techniques.
When a player isnt going hard in
practice, Self gets on his back and
starts riding him quick.
If Self couldnt get Withey moti-
vated verbally, he took a diferent
approach.
Withey would fnd himself run-
ning up and down the bleachers of
Allen Fieldhouse.
He knows how to get the best
out of his players, and hes going to
get you right, Withey said. Hes
defnitely going to push Perry, and
its going to help Perry out a lot.
Withey is far from the frst player
whose mindset Self had to change
when they arrived on campus.
Self rode senior guard Elijah
Johnson for playing too slow when
he arrived on campus four years
ago.
And before Johnson, it was other
Kansas alums such as Sherron Col-
lins or Tyshawn Taylor, who all fg-
ured it out and went on to help Self
lead Kansas to eight consecutive
conference championships.
If you dont get yelled at, then
its probably a problem. Johnson
said. I think its defnitely part of
the process.
As far as when the message will
fnally get through to Ellis remains
to be seen, but he did show some
signs of aggressiveness against
Washburn.
In the frst half he dove on the
foor for a loose ball and also man-
aged a block, a steal and two ofen-
sive boards.
When I got out of that zone and
got mad, things changed, Withey
said. If Perry can get out of that,
he can be really good.

PAGE 8B thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, NoVEmBER 8, 2012

Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson is still adjusting to his role as the facili-
tator of the offense after working as the two guard
next to Tyshawn Taylor last season. Eventually, hell
make the adjustment, but Johnson is more of a com-
bo guard and so the question with the athletically-
gifted Johnson becomes when it will happen.
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Releford pulled a Houdini against Washburn and
disappeared despite playing 27 minutes. More will
be expected of him now that the games count, and
expect him to return to the aggressive Releford he
showed he could be last season.
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
In the exhibition season, McLemore has emerged
as one of the best offensive weapons on the team, but
after scoring early and often in the frst half, he failed
to provide the same spark in the second.
Justin Wesley, Junior Forward
Wesley got his chance, flling in for an injured
Kevin Young against Washburn. Wesleys focus will
be on the defensive side of the ball, as the man who
took a turn acting as Wilt Chamberlain in Jayhawk-
ers will be focused more on grabbing rebounds than
trying to emulate Chamberlain by scoring 100.
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
For the frst three halves of preseason play, Withey
looked like he regressed to his form from the 2010-
11 season rather than the tough- nosed defender
he played as last season. He fnally showed some
glimpses of the 2011-12 Big 12 Defensive Player of
the Year in the second half of the game. Expect the
Jayhawks to try and get him going early so they can
put the game out of reach.

Michigan State, but after their poor out-
ing in the fnal exhibition game, expect
Coach Self to have his Jayhawks in a
line.
State fnished 15-16 last season, which
was the best record for the Redhawks since
2004-05. The Redhawks also had a winning
record in the Ohio Valley Conference for the
frst time since the same year. Coach Dickey
Nutt is 32-61 at Southeast, and in each of
his three years the program has improved.
The Redhawks are coming off a fnal exhi-
bition game that they won 80-75 against
Division II Truman State.

Prediction:
Kansas 84, Southeast Missouri State 52
hEAr yE, hEAr yE
hEAr yE, hEAr yE
BiG JAy will chEEr if...
Maryland Smith, Senior Guard
Smith will likely be given the task of guarding Kansas
guard Elijah Johnson. Southeast Missouri coach Dickey
Nutt said after the last exhibition game that Marland
Smith is quick and athletic on defense. Smith also has
the ability to score, averaging more than 12 points per
game for the last two seasons. Smith is the only player
on the Redhawks roster who has spent all four years of
his college career at Southeast Missouri State.
Nick Niemczyk, Senior Guard
Last season Niemczyk shot more than 90 percent from
the free throw line, the only problem being he averaged
just under one trip to the foul line per game. Niemczyk
will need to fnd a way to get fouled and make that free
throw percentage count. Two years ago Niemczyk aver-
aged two foul shots per game and 13.4 points per game,
last season he shot 0.8 foul shots per game and scored
9.2 points per game.

Lucas Nutt, Junior Guard
Lucas Nutt is the son of Southeast Missouri State
coach Dickey Nutt. Logan Nutt, the older brother of
Lucas graduated from Southeast Missouri last season
after playing for their father. Lucas uncle is Ole Miss
football coach Houston Nutt.
Tyler Stone, Junior Forward
A product of Memphis, Tenn. Stone is 6-foot-8 and
shoots 53 percent from the feld. In the Redhawks nar-
row 5 point win over Truman State, Stone posted 17
points and 12 rebounds. Stone led the team in both cat-
egories last season.
Colin Ferguson, Freshman Forward
At 6-foot-9 Ferguson is the tallest player on the South-
east Missouri roster and likely to get the start in his frst
offcial college game. Ferguson has been described as
raw, but promising.
Freshman forward
Perry Ellis
Ellis plays an important role in the
Jayhawks offense as the only natural
scorer in the Kansas frontcourt. If he is
easily fnding a way to put the ball in the
basket, the Jayhawks offense will run as
a well-oiled machine. Ellis didnt start
a game in the preseason because Self
wants him to become a more aggressive
player, but when hes not starting hell be
the frst guy off the bench.
Junior forward
Tyler Stone
Tyler Stone led Southeast Missouri State
in points per game, with 14.7 and 7.3 re-
bounds per game last season. Stone is a for-
mer Missouri Tiger. He transferred after one
year in Columbia, Mo. and now Stone enters
his junior year at Southeast Missouri State
as the Redhawks most productive player.
Will Jeff Withey fnd his groove?
Te seven-foot tall center looked
rusty against Emporia State and
Washburn. He admitted that he
struggled playing against smaller
lineups, and unfortunately for
him, hell once again fnd himself
matched up smaller forwards, as
the tallest player on the Redhawks
roster stands 6-foot-9.
Can Southeast Missouri State fnd
quality shots against the Kansas de-
fense?

The Redhawks were effcient last season,
shooting .475 percent from the feld. If the
Redhawks have a chance to upset the No. 7
ranked Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse Friday
it will be by making shots and avoiding turn-
overs. Tyler Stone is Southeast Missouris
most effcient player but he will have to get
past Jeff Withey at the rim.
We didnt execute and our senior
leadership was non-existent. We played
like little babies tonight. They beat us to
loose balls, and we didnt rebound it.
Bill Self on his teams play
against Washburn
Every time we made a run and pushed
it to 11-12 points, we could not sustain
that, Southeast Missouri coach Dickey Nutt
said after the 80-75 win over Truman State.
Theyd cut it to fve and cut it to two, and
the next thing you know were in for a dog-
fght.
The Jayhawks defense comes out fy-
ing, forcing turnovers that lead to easy
buckets and allow the Rock Chalk Chant
to reverberate through Allen Fieldhouse
early in the second half.
Southeast Missouri plays effciently, mak-
ing shots and avoiding turnovers, and Kan-
sas has the same offensive problems it had
against Washburn.

PAGE 9B thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2012
Following two exhibition games
against Washburn and Fort Hays
State, the nationally ranked Kansas
Jayhawks womens basketball team
is excited to play a game that actu-
ally matters as it prepares to take on
the Idaho State Bengals on Sunday
at Allen Fieldhouse.
Senior point guard and captain
Angel Goodrich, who was named
preseason second-team All-Big 12
afer she averaged 14 points per
game and a nation-leading 7.4 as-
sists per game, said she is excited to
play meaningful games.
Im really excited, Goodrich
said. I wish the frst two were real
games, but that really helped us be-
cause it allowed us to see what we
needed to work on still. Tat just
makes us even more excited for this
frst game.
Trough the frst month of prac-
tice and the two exhibition games,
the focus has been on the defensive
side of the court.
From the frst exhibition to
the second game, you can see the
transition to being more aggres-
sive being on the ball, senior guard
Monica Engelman said. Its been
the same focus point that we need
more pressure on the ball and be
more aggressive.
Idaho State is coming of a 24-8
record where it won the Big Sky
Conference and went to the NCAA
tournament, where it lost in the frst
round to the Miami Hurricanes.
Te Bengals bring back four start-
ers including senior guard Kaela
Oakes. Last season, Oakes averaged
11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6
assists a game for the Bengals.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson
said the Bengals run a lot of screens
and play really well together, but if
the Jayhawks can create on-the-ball
pressure, it could make it difcult
for Oakes to create something of of
the screen.
Getting on-the-ball pressure has
been stressed by Henrickson and
the Jayhawks realize that they need
maintain a level of focus because
there is a lot going on when facing
a screening team.
Tey screen a lot, so we just
have to be able to see the ball and
see them, Goodrich said. Com-
munication is a big thing.
Along with the on-the-ball de-
fense, the Jayhawks have been
working on crashing the boards as
a team and not just let one or two
players try for the rebound.
We cant have only two people
going for a rebound and expect
them to get a rebound, Goodrich
said. Especially on the ofen-
sive end, which gives us a second
chance to get points. Its one thing
we have to focus on.
But as the Jayhawks continue
to prepare and practice what they
need to do, its the excitement of the
2012-2013 season that has the team
having a bounce to them.
I think playing an actual game
that is going to count, thats whats
amping us up a little bit. Getting
us ready for the season, Engelman
said.

AUSTIN, Texas A son of
Depression-era Oklahoma, Dar-
rell Royal came to Texas to take
over a sleeping giant of a football
program. Over 20 years, his folksy
approach to sports and life, his
inventive wishbone ofense and a
victory in the Game of the Cen-
tury where a U.S. president
declared his team national cham-
pion made him an icon of col-
lege football.
Royal, who won two national
championships and turned the
Longhorns into a national power,
died early Wednesday at age 88
of complications from cardiovas-
cular disease, school spokesman
Bill Little said. Royal also sufered
from Alzheimers disease.
Royal didnt have a single los-
ing season in his 23 years as a
head coach at Texas, Mississippi
State and Washington. Known for
their stout defenses and punishing
running attacks, his Texas teams
boasted a 167-47-5 record from
1957-1976, the best mark in the
nation over that period.
It was fun, Royal told Te
Associated Press in 2007. All
the days I was coaching at Tex-
as, I knew this would be my last
coaching job. I knew it when I got
here.
It almost didnt happen. Royal
wasnt Texas frst choice.
Texas was coming of a 1-9 sea-
son in 1956 still the worst in
program history and wanted a
high-profle coach to turn things
around. Te Longhorns were re-
bufed by Georgia Techs Bobby
Dodd and Michigan States Dufy
Daugherty, but both coaches
encouraged Texas to hire the
32-year-old Royal, who was lying
in bed the night he got the call
summoning him to Austin.
Edith, this is it, this is the Uni-
versity of Texas, Royal told his
wife.
Royal led the Longhorns to a
6-3-1 record in his frst season,
but he was so sickened by Missis-
sippis 39-7 thrashing of his team
in the Sugar Bowl that he gave
away the commemorative bowl
watch he received.
Under Royal, Texas won 11
Southwest Conference titles, 10
Cotton Bowl championships and
national championships in 1963
and 1969, going 11-0 each time.
Te Longhorns also won a share
of the 1970 national title, earning
him a national stature that rivaled
that of Alabamas Paul Bear
Bryant and Ohio States Woody
Hayes. Royal was inducted into
the College Football Hall of Fame
in 1983.
A public memorial ceremony is
scheduled for noon Tuesday at the
Frank Erwin Center basketball
arena. Royal will be buried at the
Texas State Cemetery in Austin,
an honor typically reserved for
the states military and political
leaders.
On Saturday, the Longhorns
will honor Royal at their home
game against Iowa State by wear-
ing DKR stickers on their hel-
mets and by lining up in the wish-
bone formation, which Royal used
to such great success, for their frst
ofensive snap.
Today is a very sad day. I lost
a wonderful friend, a mentor, a
confdant and my hero. College
football lost maybe its best ever
and the world lost a great man,
current Texas coach Mack Brown
said Wednesday. His counsel and
friendship meant a lot to me be-
fore I came to Texas, but its been
my guiding light for my 15 years
here.
As a player at Oklahoma, Royal
was a standout quarterback, de-
fensive back and punter, and he
credited hard work and luck for
his success on the feld and later as
a coach. He had a self-deprecating
style and a knack for delivering
pithy quotes or Royalisms
about his team and opponents.
Football doesnt build charac-
ter, it eliminates the weak ones,
was one of Royals famous lines.
Luck is when preparation
meets opportunity, was another.
He was a guy who was so
strong and so determined and so
direct about things, said former
Texas quarterback James Street.
He was that way to the very end.
Royal and assistant Emory Bal-
lard changed the football land-
scape in 1968 with the develop-
ment of the wishbone, which
features a fullback lined up behind
the quarterback and a step in front
of two other backs.
Te innovation nearly fopped.
Afer a tie and loss in the frst two
games that season, a frustrated
Royal inserted backup Street to
take over.
Coach Royal grabbed me
and he looked for a minute as if
he were having second thoughts
about putting me in. Ten he
looked me straight in the eye and
said, Hell, you cant do any worse.
Get in there, Street said
Texas won its next 30 games.
Soon, rival Oklahoma and other
schools started using the wish-
bone as well.
Te University of Oklahoma
joins the rest of the nation in cel-
ebrating the lifes work of Darrell
Royal, said Oklahoma athletic
director Joe Castiglione. Weve
truly lost an icon a champion,
an innovator and an educator.
Te national title season in
1969 included what was dubbed
the Game of the Century, a
come-from-behind, 15-14 victory
by the top-ranked Longhorns over
No. 2 Arkansas to cap the regular
season.
Royal was among the frst
football coaches in the nation to
hire an academic counselor
sometimes referred to as a brain
coach in that era to ensure
athletes went on to graduate.
Royal is survived by his wife,
Edith, and a son, Mack. Te cou-
ple had two other children, daugh-
ter Marian, who died in 1973, and
son David, who died in 1982.

Baylor 4-4 (1-4) at No. 12 oklahoma 6-2 (4-1)

Baylors explosive ofense had more than 600 yards
of total ofense last week against Kansas. Tis week,
it faces the best pass defense in the Big 12 in Okla-
homa.
Te Sooners have won their last four Big 12 games,
not allowing more than 21 points in a game during
that stretch. Oklahoma has dominated its opponents
on all three facets of the game.
Baylor coach Art Briles must strategize a game plan
to limit Oklahoma. But with the Bears picking up only
one win in the conference this year, it will be hard for
them to walk out of Norman with a win.
Oklahoma wins, 51-24
Iowa State 5-4 (2-4) at No. 17 texaS 7-2 (4-2)

Iowa States conference season has been up and down this
year. Te Cyclones have had quarterback Steele Jantz back for
a couple of full games now, but that hasnt made a diference
for them.
David Ash turned things around afer a rough week before.
Ash also has two good running backs in Jonathan Gray and
Joe Bergeron. Gray and Bergeron complement each other well
and will be the key to beating Iowa State.
Texas formed a four-game winning streak before losing
back-to-back to West Virginia and Oklahoma. If Texas wins,
it will have won four straight for the second time this year.
Te Longhorns will dedicate this game to former head
coach Darrell Royal.
Texas wins, 35-20
weSt VIrgINIa 6-3 (2-3) at oklahoma State 5-3 (3-2)

Coming into the Big 12 as one of the favorites to win the confer-
ence, West Virginia has slipped and is currently riding a three-game
losing streak.
Quarterback Geno Smith has lost attention as defenses proved
hes not invincible. Hes thrown fve touchdowns and three intercep-
tions during the teams three-game losing streak afer throwing 24
touchdowns and no interceptions in the frst fve games.
Oklahoma State has a lot of momentum going into this game.
Te Cowboys are in the top 10 in the nation in scoring while the
Mountaineers are last in the Big 12 in defense. Running back Jo-
seph Randle may stumble against West Virginias defense, but quar-
terbacks Wes Lunt and Clint Chelf, depending on who plays, have
receivers Tracey Moore and Josh Stewart to pass to against a weak
pass defense.

Oklahoma State wins, 41-31
No. 2 kaNSaS State 9-0 (6-0)
at tCU 6-3 (3-3)

K-State coach Bill Snyder was
hopeful earlier this week that Col-
lin Klein would play against TCU
later this week. Te Wildcats will
need him, but even if Klein is ab-
sent, they are loaded with talent on
all three phases of the game.
Cornerback Allen Chapman and
kick returner Tyler Lockett cap-
tured Big 12 Player of the Week
honors. Te defense racked up fve
turnovers last week against Okla-
homa State and look to help the
team again by gaining takeaways.
But TCU presents a big challenge
for K-State. Te Horned Frogs are
second in the Big 12 against the
run, where the Wildcats have ex-
celled this season. Tis conference
matchup features the top two run-
stopping defenses in the Big 12.
K-State hasnt played well against
the pass this season. However,
K-State holds a positive 18 turn-
overs ratio and committed only
one giveaway in its last six games.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin
will struggle moving the ball on the
Wildcats.

Kansas State wins, 38-17
