College students are being advised
to take more preventative measures
when it comes to protecting their
personal information.
According to a recent press release
from the Better Business Bureau,
young adults are the most at-risk
group for identity thef because
of their high use of smartphones
and social media. Tey also found
that friendly fraud situations, in
which friends access smartphones
or social media accounts without
permission, account for more than
20 percent of on-campus identity
thef.
University Information Security
Ofcer Rob Arnold said smart-
phones make students vulnerable
to identity thef
because they can
be easily lost or
stolen. Accord-
ing to Consumer
Reports, 1.6 mil-
lion phones were
stolen in the U.S.
last year alone.
Arnold said
there are simple
steps that can be
taken to ensure safety if your phone
is lost or stolen, such as encrypting
it with a pin number. Tis is some-
thing nearly half of smartphone
users dont do, according to a study
from Confdent Technologies.
One of the best reasons to use en-
cryption is that it keeps you com-
fortable, Arnold said. You have
assurance that your data hasnt
been disclosed. Its the diference
between losing a locked box or an
unlocked box, and if you know the
phone is encrypted you can take
more time before you take more
drastic measures too.
In addition to encryption, Ar-
nold said students can take other
precautions to secure their infor-
mation. Among those are not re-
using passwords across multiple
accounts, having a backup plan if
you lose your smartphone and tak-
ing advantage of security services
available on websites like Gmail
and Facebook.
Te Better Business Bureau also
recommends that students keep
important documents locked away
and have important mail sent to
a post ofce box or their familys
home.
Although it may seem time con-
suming, Arnold said taking steps
like these will prove benefcial if a
victim of identity thef.
It is just a tiny productivity
tax you pay when you have to do
something like type in a pin, he
said. None of them cost anything,
but the time you spend doing these
will defnitely pay for itself over
and over again in the scenario
where you would have had your
data compromised, your device
attacked or one of your accounts
used by somebody for malicious
purposes.
In cases of friendly fraud, Ar-
nold said the best preventative
measure to take is simply keeping
your social media passwords to
yourself and carefully considering
what you share
on the internet.
Bailey Dumire,
a freshman from
Seattle, said her
parents identity
was stolen fve
years ago, which
has made her
more cautious
when it comes
to her personal
information on
social media.
Im really careful about what I
put on the Internet now, Dumire
said. Im not really into sharing
stuf on Facebook, so I dont have
my age or where I live, and I dont
put any of the fne details.
Kristen Korona, a senior from
Kansas City, works at the Kansas
Union Bookstore, which she said
has also made her more aware of
how easily someone can have their
identity stolen.
Working at retail Ive had a few
instances where peoples cards
dont match their IDs, so Im aware
that kind of stuf happens more of-
ten than you would think, Korona
said. Im more careful about if I
log in at work to my bank or any-
thing with cell phones or comput-
ers, Im just more cautious about
logging out now.
To learn more about how to pro-
tect yourself from identity thef, the
Universitys IT Communications
department will be hosting educa-
tional activities throughout Octo-
ber for Cyber Security Awareness
Month.

Identity theft poses
threat to students
SAFETY
In the upstairs area at Henrys
Bar and Cofee Shop, past clus-
ters of small wooden tables and
the endlessly chattering Tursday
night crowd, KU GTA Gilles Vi-
ennot engages students in casual
conversation. Tey arent speak-
ing English, however, as Viennot
is using the weekly French Table
as an inspiration for students to
speak the language outside of the
classroom.
It is a relaxed atmosphere to
speak French that is non-judg-
mental, Viennot said. Its open
to everyone, of all ages, and is a
very welcoming place.
Te French Table currently
meets at Henrys, located at 11
E. 8th St., on Tursdays at 8:30
p.m. According to senior Ra-
chel Forrest, who just returned
from studying abroad in Aix-en-
Provence, some may be anxious
about joining a French conversa-
tion that is not school-related.
Forrest said this shouldnt be a
concern, as all levels of French
are welcome.
I would encourage students
to come by telling them to not
worry, and even just take the frst
time to listen in, Forrest said.
Its so fun and relaxed, and a
great way to make new friends
that have something in common
with you.
Te French Table also serves as
an outlet for those returning from
a French-speaking country to stay
profcient in the language. Other
than just speaking French, many
students discuss dos and donts,
share experiences and voice what
they wish they wouldve known
about studying abroad.
When I decided I wanted to
study abroad, I wanted to per-
fect my conversational skills to
achieve fuency so it wouldnt be
awkward when I was trying to
express myself in France, recent
graduate Milica Rastovic said.
Viennot also said he sees a def-
nite correlation between students
coming to the French Table, and
then aspiring to study abroad lat-
er.
Senior Jef Shelton, a frst-timer
in the group this semester, said
the French Table is very inclusive.
I didnt know anyone when I
decided to come, and it seems
relaxed, Shelton said. Im an
Anthropology major, so Ive
only taken a few French classes. I
heard about this and just wanted
a place to improve my French.
Senior Jabon Shackelford said
the atmosphere at Henrys, with
its burgundy walls and small,
connected rooms, reminds one of
a scene in Paris.
Te ambience is what makes
French Table so great, Shackel-
ford said. Along with the people,
the environment serves as a cata-
lyst for conversation.
When thinking back on his
frst experiences with the French
Table, Shackelford said it was a
positive part of his college career
from the beginning.
I actually heard about this
group from my French profes-
sor senior year of high school,
Shackelford said. Te frst time
I came I was a freshman. It was
an August evening at 7 p.m., I was
sitting in a corner, and I remem-
ber the sun beaming in. I was su-
per nervous, but I ended up mak-
ing some of my best friends here.

Students engage in a discussion at the French Table. Speakers of all levels are invited to join the group every Thursday evening at Henrys Bar and Coffee Shop.
As a part of KU Information
Technologys Print from
Anywhere service, students will
now be able to print from any
iOS device, from anywhere. Tis
new service will go along with
the current ability to print from
personal computers and campus
computer labs.
Tis service is designed so that
students on-the-go can maintain
their busy schedules without
having to sacrifce precious time
waiting in lines at the printer.
According to technology.ku.edu,
the Print from Anywhere initiative
will allow for remote printing to 12
diferent locations across campus,
including Watson and Anschutz
Libraries.
Library ofcials are excited
to see the iOS function added
to the already
s u c c e s s f u l
remote printing
services.
Over the
course of the
year we have
over 1.6 million
people walk
through our, doors and this
initiative allows students access
to point-of-need services, said
Rebecca Smith, executive director
of communications for KU
Libraries. Smith hopes that this
addition will help to cut down on
print queues in the libraries.
To take advantage of this service
,students can simply go to the
print option, select which building
they would like to pick up their
documents in, and upload their
fles. Afer having completed this
process the fles will remain in the
queue at the selected location for
two hours.
Upon arriving at the selected
location, all students need to do
is log in to the printer using their
University ID information.
Like campus ofcials, students
are also excited to make use of
this program.
Being able to print from
anywhere would be very
convenient, especially if youre
in a hurry,
said Allison
McLeay, a
freshman from
Omaha, Neb.
Ryan Johnson,
a junior from
Salina, also
thinks this
will speed up
the printing process and cut down
on waiting times.
However, not everyone is
convinced that this new service
will make a
l a r g e - s c a l e
diference.
It seems like
a really cool
idea, but I dont
know if it will
make much of
a diference,
said Brittany Platt, a sophomore
from Chicago. Because not a lot
of students will take advantage of
it. Students can visit technology.
ku.edu for a detailed list of
locations and instructions for
printing. KU IT also encourages
students to make use of its
helplines and provide feedback
as they attempt to work the bugs
out with this new addition to their
services.

Former Gov. Sebelius
to attend campaign event
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Former Kansas
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will be back in
the state this week to attend a political
event for House Minority Leader Paul
Davis.
The Kansas City Star reports Monday
that Sebelius, the current Health and
Human Services secretary in President
Barack Obama's administration, will
attend the reception for Davis on
Thursday in Mission Hills.
Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, has
formed a campaign committee for a
bid to challenge Republican Gov. Sam
Brownback in 2014. Davis is expected
to formally announce his campaign in
the coming weeks. No other Democrat
has announced plans to challenge
Brownback next year.
Sebelius was elected twice as gov-
ernor after serving as state insurance
commissioner. She resigned in 2009 to
join the Obama administration.

WICHITA, Kan. Tere
were fewer meth lab incidents
in Kansas last year compared to
2011, but demand for the drug
remains high, according to the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Te KBI reported 143 meth
lab incidents statewide in 2012,
down from 214 a year earlier, Te
Wichita Eagle reported (http://
bit.ly/1bmMBtx ). Such incidents
are listed under three categories:
seizures of meth chemicals,
equipment and labs.
"Te numbers have decreased
in terms of manufacturing,
but we're still seeing arrests for
possession and distribution of
methamphetamine in all parts of
the state," said Kelly Ralston, KBI
special agent in charge.
Te drop in Kansas follows
an apparent nationwide
trend. Te Drug Enforcement
Administration said there were
about 12,700 meth lab incidents
nationwide in 2012, down 5.5
percent from the 13,390 such
incidents in 2011.
Of Kansas' 143 meth lab
incidents reported last year,
about half were in fve counties
in southeast Kansas. Crawford
County reported 25 meth lab
incidents, which is the highest
number in Kansas, according
to the KBI. Of the other four,
Montgomery County reported
17 meth lab incidents, while
Cherokee County had 11. Labette
and Neosho counties each had
nine.
In 2011, Crawford County
also had the highest number of
meth lab incidents reported in
the state, with 45. Montgomery
County was second with 36,
followed by Labette County with
35 and Cherokee County with 27.
Crawford County Sherif Dan
Peak attributed the numbers to
the region's poverty, limited drug
treatment resources and location.
"I think a lot of it has to do with
our proximity to Missouri and
Oklahoma," he said.

Kansas activist seeking
grand jury over statue
TOPEKA, Kan. A Kansas fam-
ily policy activist is trying again to
petition for a grand jury in Johnson
County to determine if a sculpture
of a partially clad woman should
be removed from an arboretum.
Phillip Cosby, director of the
American Family Association of
Kansas and Missouri, is holding a
rally on Thursday to gather support
for the petition drive. The goal is
to force a grand jury to decide if
the Accept or Reject statue at
the Overland Park Arboretum and
Botanical Gardens violates Kansas
anti-obscenity laws.
Cosby needs 4,700 signatures to
seat a grand jury. The frst grand
jury empaneled in the controversy
in October 2012 did not issue an
indictment remove the artwork,
ruling the statue of a headless
woman taking a photo of herself
was not obscene.

Student Body President Marcus
Tetwiler took a step toward one of
his campaign promises last week
when he announced a plan to real-
locate the Presidents Endowment
Fund to a scholarship program
for KU students.
Tetwiler ran under the Ad Astra
coalition, which promised, among
other things, to make the Student
Senate more accessible and trans-
parent.
Te Presidents Endowment
Fund is an account that can be
spent on funds for presidential
projects without the approval of
the Senate.
I do not think that a student
body president should be able
to administer funds without any
legislative oversight, Tetwiler said.
Because thats non-transparent
and not what the student body
voted me in to do.
According to a Student Senate
press release, the account currently
holds $126,420.
Tetwiler said he would like to see
that money go back to the students
and plans to sign an agreement in
the coming weeks to establish the
new use of the fund.
Its students the whole way
around students working for
students on behalf of students,
Tetwiler said. And thats a model
that student senate has champi-
oned for years.
Tough the scholarship param-
eters have
not yet been
determined,
Tetwiler said
the money
will go to an
established
scholarship
organization
to provide
money and re-
sources rather
than build an
entirely new
program overseen by the student
body president.
Te idea that the president is
involved in where that money goes
wont happen anymore, Tetwiler
said.
In addition
to reallocating
that money to a
scholarship pro-
gram, Tetwiler
said he hopes to
partner with the
School of Busi-
ness in order to
grow the account
more rapidly
than it has grown
with KU Endow-
ment.
Te partnership would allow
business students to gain re-
al-world experience by managing
the account.
Michael Graham, student senate
treasurer, supports the change and
said he thinks it will be good for
business school students to have
experience with the fund.
I think its a good use of the fund
that will produce a long lasting
impact, Graham said.
Negotiations with the School of
Business are ongoing, but Tetwiler
said he thinks his plan could
feasibly be put into efect by fall of
next year.
Hopefully everyone sees the
merit in the idea of growing our
money faster, Tetwiler said.

HOUSTON Kathy Platoni
stood in a doctor's ofce trying to
hide her shaking from the other
patients in the waiting room as
she watched the news unfold
about a shooting at the Washing-
ton Navy Yard.
Memories from a similar day
nearly fve years ago came food-
ing back, a day in 2009 when an
Army psychiatrist opened fre at
Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13
people, several of them Platoni's
friends.
"It's surreal. I'm stunned to the
bone. I mean here we are again,"
Platoni said in a phone interview
Monday.
Platoni, an Army reservist,
still struggles with images of
her friend, Capt. John Gafaney,
bleeding to death at her knees
at Fort Hood. On Monday, she
watched the reports of an attack
at another military installation.
Tis time, authorities say a
former Navy man opened fre on
ofce workers at the Washington
Navy Yard. Tirteen people were
killed, including the gunman.
"I was trying not to let the other
patients in the waiting room see
me shake, but I was shaken to the
core," said Platoni.
Platoni just last month had
relived the Fort Hood shooting,
as she sat through a weekslong
military trial for Nidal Hassan.
He was convicted and sentenced
to death for the attack.
"Te fact that this was on a
military installation, it just hits
way too close to home," Platoni
said. "To know what these poor
individuals and families are going
to go through, that's the worst of
it ... and I wish I could be there
to help."
Keely Cahill, whose father,
Michael Cahill, was shot and
killed afer he lifed a chair to try
to stop the Fort Hood rampage,
nearly broke down as she talked
about Monday's attack.
"Tis is exactly the same thing,"
Cahill said, her voice cracking
with emotion. "I know exactly
what those families are feeling.

Colorado evacuees return
to fnd more heartbreak
HYGIENE, Colo. Weary Colorado
evacuees have begun returning home
after days of rain and fooding, but
Monday's clearing skies and receding
waters revealed only more heartbreak:
toppled houses, upended vehicles
and a stinking layer of muck covering
everything.
Rescuers grounded by weekend rains
took advantage of the break in the
weather to resume searches for people
still stranded, with 21 helicopters
fanning out over the mountainsides
and the plains to drop supplies and
airlift those who need help.
The confrmed death toll stood at
four, with two women missing and
presumed dead.
The number of missing people was
diffcult to pinpoint, but it has been
decreasing. The state's count fell
Monday from just over 1,200 to about
half that. State offcials hoped the
overall number would continue to drop
with rescuers reaching more people
and phone service being restored.
"You've got to remember, a lot of
these folks lost cellphones, landlines,
the Internet four to fve days ago,"
Gov. John Hickenlooper said on NBC's
"Today" show. "I am very hopeful that
the vast majority of these people are
safe and sound."
Residents of Hygiene returned to
their small community east of the
foothills to fnd mud blanketing roads,
garages, even the tops of fence posts.
The raging St. Vrain River they fed
three days earlier had left trucks in
ditches and carried items as far as 2
miles downstream.
"My own slice of heaven, and it's
gone," Bill Marquedt said after fnding
his home destroyed.
Residents immediately set to sweep-
ing, shoveling and rinsing, but the
task of rebuilding seemed overwhelm-
ing to some.
"What now? We don't even know
where to start," said Genevieve Mar-
quez. "It's not even like a day by day or
a month thing.
"I want to think that far ahead but
it's a minute by minute thing at this
point. And, I guess now it's just help
everyone out and try to get our lives
back," she added.
In the mountain towns, major roads
were washed away or covered by mud
and rock slides.
Hamlets like Glen Haven were
reduced to debris and key infrastruc-
ture like gas lines and sewers systems
were destroyed.
Hundreds of homes around Estes
Park, next to Rocky Mountain National
Park, could be unreachable and
uninhabitable for up to a year, town
administrator Frank Lancaster said.

I
have a friend. Lets call him
Cass, because thats his name.
Cass is a great human being.
Hes not perfect; not even close.
He loves adventures. He does wild
things and periodically, he rolls
fat blunts the likes of which would
make Snoop jealous. Yet Cass
is great in the sense that he has
charisma that can only be likened
to a black hole. People are drawn
in and cant help but to want to be
around him.
He would do anything for his
friends. One day, it was my frst
semester at the University. I woke
up feeling grouchy. I needed to
do something drastic and stupid.
It was my freshman year and the
frst time in my life Id ever had
money, or at least a credit card. I
decided to go to Los Angeles for
the rest of my life.
I got my poor roommate to drive
me to the airport and told him he
could have all of my stuf that I
hadnt packed. On my way there,
I called Cass to tell him my plan.
As opposed to being shocked and
telling me I was an idiot, he said,
Sounds cool, man. Ill go too.
Less than two hours afer I woke
up, we were on our way to spend-
ing the rest of our lives in L.A.
Clearly it didnt end up being the
rest of our lives, but it made one
thing clear. Cass is empathetic.
He knew I needed someone by
my side without me having to ask.
Without me even knowing myself.
He has a superhuman ability to
connect with people.
When I went over there Id
always fnd him watching really
depressing documentaries. He
would always say something like,
Whats wrong with the world?
He wanted to help.
Unfortunately, Cass is dead now.
I remember the day as vividly
as if it were yesterday. On April
21, 2011, I got a call from Cass
brother asking if Id seen him.
Id been wrapped up in the
waning semester and I hadnt. It
had been about a day and a half
since anyone had heard from
him, and he had missed work. He
loved work. He sold cars here in
Lawrence. It suited him. He loved
talking to everyone and meeting
people. Tere were nights when
we went out to the bars and when
it was time to go, wed fnd him
outside talking to some homeless
guy about life.
I started calling everyone who I
knew, hoping that someone had
heard from him. Everyone had
the same reply: Not for a couple
days. I started getting desperate. I
called the jail. I mean, maybe hed
gone a bit overboard on an outing
and hed gotten arrested. I was
actually hoping that my friend
was in jail.
I called the hospital. I was more
desperate this time. It was insane.
I was thinking, Please let my
friend be sick. Hurt. Let him be in
a coma! I dont care just dont let
him be
Finally, I ran out of ideas. I
looked on the Internet and found
a website that had a police scan-
ner for the local area. And I sat.
I sat there for hours staring into
space, but I heard nothing about
Cass. Maybe he had dropped
everything and gone to L.A. again.
It had to be that, right?
Ten it came over the scanner
in the crappy, static-infused tone:
We have a code black, East 1950
Road.
East 1950 Road? Tat was where
he lived, but a code black? Tat
could be anything.
But then the radio conversation
continued, and I just sat and lis-
tened about how hed been found
in his car. He was dead on arrival,
and had been dead for a while. I
remember they said they needed
an ambulance but there was no
reason to hurry.
Oh really? No reason to hurry?
Here were these assholes talking
about Te young male, DOA,
and they didnt give a damn who
he was. Tey didnt remember
the time he kissed a dude to get
an actress phone number at the
Renaissance Festival.
Tey werent there when he
played the best football game
of his high school career de-
spite barely being able to stand
from mono. And they certainly
werent fortunate enough to see
him dressed in one of his moms
wigs to play Treetrunks, the elf
in a Lord of the Rings- based
movie we made in my pasture. I
understand that they have to stay
disconnected, but I just wish I was
there.
Cass had killed himself.
I guess there is really no way to
know if things might have been
diferent if Id been less focused on
school and a little more focused
on friends. Everyone wonders
about that probably, but Im not
mad. I could never be upset with
him. I understand where he was
coming from. I just dont know
why. I want to know what he was
thinking.
It runs through my mind every
day, and the only strong theory I
can come up with is that he felt all
the negativity in the world to the
point where it was just too much.
He wanted to help, but realized
there wasnt anything he could do.
He didnt want to help one person
at a time, he wanted to heal every-
one all at once.
Ive tried to fnd a lesson in it,
and I feel awful saying it, but
maybe we should be more selfsh.
I dont know. Maybe if Cass had
been talking about his problems
instead of trying to work out
everyone elses, he would still be
here.
Maybe he needed to just let
things go. Its heroic to take on so
much of other peoples pain, but
its like my grandma always tells
me, Even iron wears out.
If Cass had expressed himself
when it was becoming too much
then maybe Id still have my best
friend.

UNSPOKEN ILLNESS
BODY IMAGE EDUCATION
I
ve been skinny my entire life.
When you look at me,
you instantly know it. Im
obsolete as a male. I dont de-
serve your respect, admiration,
company or acknowledgment. At
least, thats how I feel when you
remind me, Oh my God, your
legs are so tiny!
How should I respond to that?
It was probably not your inten-
tion, but you just insulted me to
my face. Its actually a common
occurrence that someone straight
up tells me about how insignif-
cant my body is.
A lot of people dont under-
stand that being underweight
isnt as light of a load as it
appears. My confdence is always
afected. Clothes hardly ever ft.
Girls overlook me. It follows me
every second of the day. Ive been
laughed at outright for being
underweight.
Tats when it is easier to deal
withwhen I know that its just
an attempt to get under my skin.
What really does get to me is
when people have the nerve to
let me know I should be thankful
to be thin girls would kill to be
that skinny; I have the freedom
to eat whatever I want; I dont
sweat as much, etc, etc, etc.
Ive heard it all. I should be
happy to be underweight, right?
Wrong. Lines like those are just
an excuse to avoid understand-
ing the underlying issues that I
constantly deal with. Te worst
part is, if I do get upset and say
something, Im regarded as being
sensitive- another unattractive
trait that only emphasizes my
weakness and further destroys
my psyche. Im told to sit down,
shut the hell up and take the
punches with a smile on my face.
Sure, my body type isnt
grotesquely unhealthy. It does
have some benefts, but I would
still switch with most people in
an instant. Inconsiderate people
would suggest that if I just put in
some efort, I could gain weight.
Ive tried for the last three years
and gained fve pounds. Its not
that simple.
I have high cholesterol, high
blood pressure, a fast metabolism
and heart disease in my family
that prevents me from devouring
any food in sight. Oh, and a tow-
ering 65 (or more) frame that
only adds to the complications.
What if I have scoliosis, cystic
fbrosis, hyperthyroidism or
one of the other many common
diseases that make weight gain
seemingly impossible - or cause
massive weight loss?
Fortunately I dont. Ive learned
to cope and accept my body. Its
no longer a paralyzing strike
when someone tells me these
things, but it still stings. Its made
me aware that behind hidden
doors, everyone has their own
problems and insecurities. Im
not implying that skinny men
have it worse than anybody else,
but that everybody has it bad. No
person should have to feel inade-
quate or alienated for something
thats so far out of their control.
We should have a social obliga-
tion not to stomp on each others
toes. Complete strangers wield
unknowingly powerful infuence
over others.
Consider how impactful
compliments can be. In a joking
exchange with a new friend, I
said I was going for the fresh-
man 25. Instead of just letting
me accept this, she said You
dont need to! Youre huge! Te
compliment reverberated in my
head for days and made me feel
great. By inspiring positivity in
others, it spreads and make the
world a better place- if even for a
few people.
Tats not to say that everyone
is perfect and nice and that if we
all just told each other that we
look nice once in awhile, every-
thing would be fne and dandy.
Its never that easy.
Simply put, its your duty to try
to understand the human beings
walking amongst you.
Dalton Boehm is a freshman major-
ing in journalism from Prairie Village.
W
ho owns the most U.S.
Debt?
China.
Who owns the second most?
Japan.
Te Middle East has the greatest
security dilemmas of this gener-
ation, Asia is spending the most
on military modernization, and
the U.S. is expanding its own
businesses there.
Indeed, there is an abundance of
evidence that suggests Asia will
become the praxis of internation-
al politics in the coming decades.
Unfortunately, the U.S. educa-
tion system is failing to prepare
students for this dramatic shif in
power from the West to the East.
Tat is because the U.S. educa-
tion system is too Eurocentric.
Eurocentrism is defned as plac-
ing disproportionate emphasis
on European history and culture
without appreciating a wider
worldview; in this case, a nu-
anced understanding of the East.
In doing so, the U.S. is preparing
its students for the wrong global
theater.
Not even our beloved universi-
ty is free from this constricting
worldview. Perhaps one need look
no further than to our own the
University Core, where Chinese
literature in Translation is myste-
riously lef of the list of approved
courses for Goals 3 and 4, while
French and German versions of
this class were all approved. In
fact, the number of approved
French and German courses
vastly outnumbers the approved
Chinese and Japanese courses.
Te University also still ofers
two Western Civ classes vs. one
Eastern Civ class.
But take a look at the broader
picture: European perspectives
and biases percolate throughout
American education. Coverage
of Japanese history ranges from
Imperial Japan to (if youre lucky)
modern Japan. Te years before
and in-between are a historical
blur. Christopher Columbus dis-
covered the New World in 1492
(never mind the Native Ameri-
cans or the Vikings).
Opponents of this argument
would suggest that such depth
is simply impossible given the
length of a students education.
Even if you believe this argument,
you must recognize that choosing
a nuanced, Eurocentric curricu-
lum tacitly suggests that deeper
knowledge of the West is of great-
er value than a rich understand-
ing of the East - which its not.
In fact, there are many good
reasons to begin to shif our at-
tention to the East. Te collective
economies of Asia are growing at
six to seven times the rate of their
European counterparts. Teir
economic blocks (part of BRICS,
ASEAN to name a few) are four-
ishing while EU institutions suf-
fer. Tis isnt a new trend. Asian
economies grew at twice the rate
of European ones between 1985-
1995, and that gap is only widen-
ing, because the IMF forecasts an
excess of six percent growth for
Asian economies in 2013.
A mastery of Asian history and
culture will do you well - espe-
cially since many businesses are
looking towards Asia for expan-
sion. Your competition, namely
everyone else on the planet, is
probably more versed in Eastern
Civilization than you are, simply
because of the educational system
they have been through. If you
want to increase your chances in
the job market, go east. Consider
that next time you decide which
civ class to take.

E
ver since their kaleidoscop-
ic debut album Oracular
Spectacular was released
in 2007, MGMT have romanti-
cized the idea of two ordinary
dudes with synthesizers produc-
ing electronic gold in their dorm
room. But while everyone and
their 13-year-old sister may have
the hit-trifecta of Kids, Time
to Pretend and Electric Feel on
their iPod, those mega-singles are
the brain rather than the heart of
a band rooted in rock psyche-
delia.
With their new, self-titled album
out today, core MGMT members
Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben
Goldwasser continue to move
away from the electronic pop
sound of their frst album.
But unlike the 2010 release
Congratulations, this latest
ofering lacks any sort of dance-
ready groovetending instead
toward incessant trippyness.
Listeners can even buy a deluxe
version of MGMT accompa-
nied by Te Optimizer, which is
a visual complement to the music
featuring CGI-animated video.
While Te Optimizer sounds
like a cool concept, it comes
across as a feeble attempt to sal-
vage what really isnt a very good
album. Its as if, afer a couple
years of turning knobs on their
Roland keyboards and strum-
ming guitars, VanWyngarden and
Goldwasser turned to each other
and said, Crap, man, we didnt
actually make any music.
A couple of tracks, namely
Mystery Disease and I Love
You Too, Death, are less songs
than sprawling, abrasive beats
with inaudible vocals. Te
whining guitar in the background
of An Orphan of Fortune is
garbled and sounds more like a
dying cat than a mind-bending
sound efect. Te album is flled
with so much repetition, and
many of the songs are so devoid
of structure, that it becomes
boring.
Even though Alien Days and
Astro-mancy are attention
grabbing with rumbling basslines
and the usual storm of whirs and
blips that MGMT love so much,
they ultimately lose their appeal
with sheer monotony.
At their best, MGMT have
drawn comparisons to the
psychedelic rock sound of Pink
Floyd. At their worst, the thought
of two guys messing around on a
synthesizer with a crumpled bag-
gie of mushrooms nearby doesnt
seem too far of. Fans looking for
the rhythm and catchiness of the
bands past hits will be disap-
pointed with MGMT.

White House delays Latin music
festival after Navy Yard shooting
Brickleberry is an animated
series on Comedy Central that fol-
lows national park forest rangers
daily lives. Te series was created
by Roger Black and Waco OGuin,
and produced by Black, OGuin
and Daniel Tosh. Te series re-
cently premiered its second season
on Sept. 3. Te show received high
ratings on the premiere of the new
season and continues to surprise
audiences with ofensive content.
In a phone press conference on
Sept. 16, college media was able to
talk to Tom Kenny, who is known
for being the voice of SpongeBob,
and Brickleberrys head ranger,
Woody, as well as Jerry Minor
from Eastbound & Down and
voices Denzel on Brickleberry.
Q: What is different about
the second season of Brickle-
berry compared to the frst?
J: It looks better. I was talking
to the creators and I dont know
what they did with the animation
but it does look brighter for some
reason, theres one thing. I think
theres been a few little tweaks with
the writing staf. So, I think theyve
just gotten better with it.
T: I think, you know, you fnd
out how to build your machine
both in terms of content and exe-
cution. Like Jerry said, when I saw
the [new] episode, the animation
looks, to me, remarkably better
than it did the frst season. I think
youre just getting your paradigm
down better. Also, I think, its
the second season, the show has
done well, the season premiere
did really well amongst its candid
demographic. Everybody settles
down and it allows you to make
the show that its supposed to be.
Q: When it comes to doing
live action and TV, I know Tom,
you have done a lot of both, is
there one you prefer over the
other and if there is, why so?
T: Well you know, I started out
in stand up and on camera stuf,
and then I started doing voice-
over. I very quickly realized I
liked it better, it was more fun, I
thought it was more suited to me,
its personality and it also played to
my skillset better. You could think
of it as a batting average. I could
go out and audition for voice-overs
and book a much, much, much
higher percentage than I ever did
on camera where youre kind of a
prisoner of what you look like.
Whereas in animation as long as
you sound like all these diferent
characters, youre physicality
doesnt matter, nor does your
age, you know, says the 51-year-
old guy. I realized that for my
personality, and in terms of career
longevity, and in terms of having
a functional life, if you dont care
about being famous, then anima-
tion is the place to be.
Q: What do you think your
favorite moment, this season,
is?
T: Te episode that they showed
at the premiere party was when
Woody had his past career as
a 70s/80s porn star. Teres a
scene in there where they go to
a porn awards [show], like the
Oscars, called Boneys, and the big
statues on either side of the stage
were very much like the Oscars
statuettes, like for the Academy
Awards, but with one very import-
ant addition. I just cant believe the
stuf they were able to get through.
Like, yeah man. Teres more
weiner per square inch in this ep-
isode than there has ever been on
TV. I think thats a victory of sorts,
you know?
Q: Ive seen a lot of compar-
isons to Family Guy and South
Park. What do you think makes
Brickleberry stand out from
those types of show? Whats
different about it or what do
you enjoy about it that other
shows dont have?
J: I think both of those shows
take pride in their thought about
the subjects theyre handling, and
I think that this show does the op-
posite: it takes pride of its reckless
handling of sex subjects.
T: Both Family Guy and South
Park have the fngerprints of the
creators on them. Seth [McFar-
lane] defnitely has his own point
of view and way of looking at
things and approach to comedy.
Like it or not, or dont like it, its
been very, very successful, and
the same with South Park. And
I think Roger and Waco, the
creators of this show, defnitely
have a comedic sensibility that is
uniquely theirs that they came by
very honestly. All those shows are
diferent because the creators of all
these shows are diferent.
Te Family Guy sensibility is
way diferent than the South Park
sensibility. And theyre all way dif-
ferent than the Brickleberry sen-
sibility. But theyre all three very
strong, identifable sensibilities.
Q: Youve done all of these
different shows and voice
work, what do you do usually
in warm-ups before you go
record a voice track?
J: What you should do is take
care of your voice, which means
not smoking, trying not to get sick,
and staying away from things that
will give you allergies. Tis year I
had some problems
I got sick this summer. And when
I came back it was really tough. I
forgot that you have to really take
care of your voice on your down
time.
T: We all forget that, like Jerry,
Im probably someone that should
have some sort of regimen or
routine and because Im stupid,
I dont. But because were actors
and stuf, were people-pleasing
weirdos so you want to do a good
job for the people who hired you
so youll go to the max, go to the
wall, and crash through the wall to
do what they want
Im on six or seven other series
that I have to keep my voice in
tune for Ive had to run to the
cartoon voice doctor and hell put
a camera up my nose, down my
throat and hes asked me, Do you
work every day? And I go, Yeah.
And he goes, Well, duh, if you go
to the gym and just work one mus-
cle every day for six hours a day,
of course its going to bust once in
awhile. I kind of changed my ways
a little bit, like Jerry did.
I try to get a decent amount of
sleep, not drinking cafeine all day
because it dries out your vocal
chords, not eating late at night.
Tere are probably things Jerry
and I should be doing for our
voices because I dont want to blow
it out but its an efort. Youve got
to keep your voice right for when
you need it.
Q: How have your past acting
careers effected your presen-
tation on Brickleberry?
J: Its a lot easier for me to get
into a characterization that I prob-
ably couldnt do physically Its a
lot of fun.
T: Everything that youve done
in the past in a way kind of goes
in the blender when youre doing
something like this. I think that
having a background in stand up
or sketch comedy where you get
thrown in to playing these really
broadly drawn characters that are
completely disposable
You have to make a couple really
strong decisions and commit to
them, and I think thats very much
put me in a good stead with voice
acting. You just got to go in with
what theyre giving you, the draw-
ing and the characters description,
and just go balls to the wall, pedal
to the metal, go for it and hope
they like it. And if not, oh well, I
have another audition tomorrow.

COMEDY CENTRAL
WASHINGTON Te White
House decided late Monday to
postpone the taping of a pro-
gramcelebrating Latin music,
citing a morning shooting at the
Washington Navy Yard that lef at
least 12 people dead.
"In light of today's tragic events
at the Washington Navy Yard
and out of respect for the victims
and their families, Musica Latina
will be postponed to a new date,"
said the announcement about an
hour and a half before President
Barack Obama was to kick of the
festivities in the White House East
Room.
A new date for "Musica Latina: In
Performance at the White House"
was not immediately announced.
Gloria Estefan, Romeo Santos,
Lila Downs, Marco Antonio Solis,
Natalie Cole and other musicians
were to join Obama and Michelle
Obama for a taping of the latest
installment in the decades-old
series. Coming at the start of the
monthlong celebration of Hispanic
heritage, the concert was to show-
case the various styles of Latin
music.
Other artists scheduled to
perform were Ricky Martin, Price
Royce, Arturo Sandoval, Raul
Malo, Alejandro Sanz and Natalie
Cole.
At a White House event earlier
Monday, the frst lady said the
beats and melodies in Latin music
are so irresistible that even the
president would "shake his groove
thing" Monday night. But the
prospect of seeing Obama jiggle
his hips grew increasingly unlikely
as the death toll mounted and
other events around town were
postponed.
At the Capitol, Senate Major-
ity Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
announced that he was adjourning
the Senate and postponing votes
until Tuesday. Te Washington
Nationals baseball team also
postponed its Monday night series
opener against the Atlanta Braves
and will now play a doubleheader
on Tuesday.
When it is rescheduled, "Musi-
ca Latina: In Performance at the
White House," will be the 12th
installment in the series produced
by the local PBS television station
since 1978. Every president since
Jimmy Carter has participated in
the series.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Rook-
ie Wil Myers homered and had
three RBIs, Alex Cobb pitched
eight solid innings, and the Tampa
Bay Rays took the lead for the frst
AL wild-card spot by beating the
Texas Rangers 6-2 on Monday
night.
Tampa Bay and Texas started
play one-half game ahead of
Cleveland, which was at Kansas
City, in race for the two wild-card
spots.
Myers had a second-inning solo
shot and hit a two-run double
during a four-run ffh. Cobb (9-
3) allowed two runs, six hits, one
walk and had 10 strikeouts.
Matt Garza (9-6, 3-5 with Texas)
gave up six runs and eight hits
over 4 1-3 innings to lose his third
straight start for the Rangers, who
have lost seven in a row and are
2-12 in September.
Te announced crowd was just
10,724. Te Rays entered with the
major's lowest home attendance
average of 18,747.
Tampa Bay went up 6-2 in the
ffh. Afer James Loney and Evan
Longoria both had RBI singles
against Garza, Myers drove in two
with a double of Jason Frasor.
Garza, who was the MVP of the
2008 AL championship series
when Tampa Bay beat Boston,
pitched against the Rays for frst
time since being traded to the
Chicago Cubs on Jan. 8, 2011.
Texas obtained the right-hander
from the Cubs on July 22.
Te Rays took a 2-1 lead in the
fourth on Desmond Jennings'
sacrifce fy.
Texas pulled even at 2 during the
ffh when Mitch Moreland, mired
in an 0 for 22 slide, doubled and
scored on Ian Kinsler's double.
Kinsler was caught attempting to
steal third to end the inning.
Myers put the Rays up 1-0 on
his 13th homer, an opposite-feld
drive to right in the second.
Cobb retired nine in a row,
including his four batters on
strikeouts, before Kinsler doubled
to start the fourth. Afer advanc-
ing to third on a sacrifce bunt by
Elvis Andrus, Kinsler got tagged
out during a rundown on Alex
Rios' grounder to third.
A.J. Pierzynski tied it at 1 later in
the fourth with an RBI single.
Rangers center felder Leonys
Martin made a strong defensive
play in the third, throwing out
Yunel Escobar, who tried to score
from second on Ben Zobrist's
single.

Since 1979, some of the most
athletic guys on campus have been
heading to Robinson Field behind
Watkins Health Center to practice
Ultimate Frisbee. For the mens
club team, collectively known as
the HorrorZontals, diving catches,
spin moves, feld-long throws and
midair snags are just another part
of a days practice.
Ultimate Frisbee, known simply
as Ultimate by many, is a sport
not too diferent from basketball
or football. Te game allows for
seven people from each team to be
on the feld at a given time, and the
goal is to get the disc from where
team A gains possession to team
Bs end zone. Te trick is that the
disc cant touch the ground, and
players must remain stationary
when holding it. Te sport has
been gaining popularity over the
last ten years, and its starting to
show at KU.
Weve been getting big numbers,
anywhere from 35 to 50 people per
practice, said senior team captain
Brent Kimmi.
Kimmi has reason to be excited
about the numbers, as hes in his
ffh year on
the team and
his frst year as
captain.
Te team also
has two other
leaders in soph-
omore Jason
Finkelstein, who
is also in his frst
year as a captain,
and Trent Kuhl,
who is in his
second. Te numbers that the Hor-
rorZontals have been getting for
practice are perfect for constant
scrimmages and drills. Te team
has been able to split up and get at
least two seven-on-seven games
going at one time.
Tese practices are setting up the
team for their fall plans, includ-
ing tournaments in Manhattan,
St. Louis and even as far away as
Fayetteville, Ark. Tese fall tourna-
ments beneft the HorrorZontals
by giving everybody a chance to
develop more and to gain the edge
needed when the team faces more
serious competi-
tion later.
In the spring,
they will face
opponents in
sectionals, then
move on to
regionals, and
eventually to
nationals if they
win games. Te
HorrorZontals
are looking to
continue the good fortune of re-
cent years, as they advanced to the
postseason (sectionals, regionals
and nationals), in fve out of the
past seven seasons.

tal_Ultimate), or on their website

MLB
MLB
PITTSBURGH Andrew
Cashner carried a perfect game
into the seventh inning and faced
the minimum 27 batters in a
one-hitter that sent the San Diego
Padres past the Pittsburgh Pirates
2-0 on Monday night.
Cashner (10-8) retired his frst
18 batters before Jose Tabata
grounded a clean single into
right feld leading of the seventh.
Tabata was erased when Andrew
McCutchen grounded into an
inning-ending double play, and
the right-hander cruised the rest
of the way for his frst complete
game in 31 career starts.
Cashner struck out seven, did
not walk a batter and threw 97
pitches. He also scored from
second on a single, sliding home
with the second run of the game,
moments before giving up Taba-
ta's hit.
Te Pirates lost for the second
time in eight games afer entering
the day tied for frst place in the
NL Central with the St. Louis
Cardinals, who played later at
Colorado.
Kyle Blanks, Ronny Cedeno and
Rene Rivera each had two hits as
the Padres won for the ninth time
in 13 games. Tey are 17-3 in
their last 20 at PNC Park.
A.J. Burnett (8-11) took a shut-
out into the seventh but wound
up with the loss. He allowed two
runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings,
with three walks and eight
strikeouts.
Te Pirates had won each of
Burnett's previous fve home
starts.
San Diego broke through for
two runs against Burnett in the
seventh. Cedeno and Rivera
opened the inning with singles,
and Cashner bunted into a feld-
er's choice that lef runners at the
corners.

Over the weekend, the Kan-
sas womens tennis team was in
Midland, Texas, competing in the-
Midland Invitational. Head Coach
Todd Chapman said the Jayhawks
did not have the success they had
hoped for as they struggled in the
frst two days of the tournament
and were unable to advance, but
they are still thinking positive.
It was three tough days of com-
petition, and we needed to fnd out
where we were from a confdence
standpoint and do a better job
of closing things out in the end,
Chapman said.
Chapman also said he was
pleased with the teams overall
performances, even though no one
stood out more than the rest.
Everyone had their ups and
downs, but what really stood out
to me was [our] willingness to
compete, Chapman said. We nev-
er quit and we made adjustments
all weekend.
Chapman said efort and passion
for the game are some of their
strongest points, and added that
this is defnitely a formula for
mid-season success. Te team is
ready to return to practice, and
will now begin preparing for the
ITA All-American Invitational.
Tournament Break Down:
FRIDAY:
In the frst round of doubles
play, all Kansas tennis teams were
defeated. Senior Claire Dreyer and
sophomore Anastasija Trubica
lost a nail-biter 8-7 to the women
from Abilene Christian. Drey-
er and sophomore Maria Jose
Cardona were the only two players
to advance out of the frst round
of singles play. Dreyer beat Giada
DOrtona from UT-Arlington in
straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Cardona
defeated Claire Williams of Texas
Tech 7-5, 6-1. Trubica and junior
Maria Belen Luduea lost two very
tight singles matches in tiebreaks.
Later that day, Dryer and Cardona
were both defeated. Chapman
made it clear that the team was
experiencing some frst tourna-
ment jitters.
SATURDAY:
Tere were a lot more positive
things to take from day two of
this years Midland Invitational.
Luduea was able to advance to
the quarterfnals of the consolation
bracket until she fell to Penn States
Samantha Tutelman. It was close,
but Luduea lost 1-6, 7-6, 13-11.
Dreyer, Cardona and Trubica were
all able to win their additional
matches. Tese are very important
because, while they did not have
any efect on the tournament, they
helped the Kansas tennis team
earn a favorable seeding in the
upcoming ITA Invitational. Dryer
and Cardona were able to get huge
victories against Texas Tech rivals
Beatriz Santos and Sarah Toti,
respectively.
SUNDAY:
On the fnal day of the tourna-
ment, the Jayhawks participated
in more additional matches for
ITA Invitational seeding. Luduea
won her match against TCUs Seda
Arentekin while senior Paulina
Los was able to pick up a victory
against Texas Techs Sarah Toti.
Overall, the team fared pretty
well against in-conference play this
weekend. Chapman said the team
improved a lot over the weekend,
and he hopes that can carry over
into the rest of the season.
If we continue to give the same
efort we have the frst three weeks,
we can defnitely surprise some
people this year, Chapman said.

W
ith the second week of the NFL
season now fnished, owners
of fantasy football teams are
starting to get a glimpse of what they can
expect from their squad the rest of the
season. For those owners that had the
displeasure of starting 0-2, tougher fantasy
Sundays will likely be ahead of you.
However, while some fantasy teams sitting
at 0-2 make the current Jaguars look like
the 2007 Patriots, others have had the un-
fortunate luck of being hit with the injury
bug. Where theres an injury theres an
owner praying the player will come right
back, or only miss two weeks, when many
of these injuries are possibly career or even
life-threatening.
During the Chargers at Eagles game this
past Sunday, receiver Malcom Floyd of the
Chargers was sandwiched between Eagles
defenders Nate Allen and DeMeco Ryans,
causing Floyd to be carted of the feld with
a serious neck injury. As players gathered
in a large circle praying on the feld for
Floyd, it occurred to me that many fantasy
owners were doing the exact opposite by
cursing under their breath, questioning
why they started him over another player.
If you were one of these people, fantasy
football may not be for you. Everyone
gets competitive sometimes, and fantasy
football may be the one thing that some
fans can still compete in. But theres a line
crossed when an owners point total matters
more than a players well-being.
Some owners will cross that line but go
no further, while others embarrass them-
selves in a completely diferent manner.
With many NFL players now being vocal
members of Twitter, fantasy owners some-
times feel they have the right to question
a players injury or even bully them by
sending malicious tweets.
Unlucky for Ray Rice, he was the player
this week that had to endure the point-
less onslaught of tweets directed at his @
RayRice27 account from owners asking
why he didnt return from his injury, and
others swearing at him for not scoring a
touchdown.
Its hard to stoop lower than berating a
player through a social media website, and
it only damages the relationship players
have with their fans, not to mention how
they feel about fantasy football. Tis was
evident when Rice responded through a
tweet afer his game, in which he stated, I
was a fan of fantasy football until today so
many spiteful and
hateful words I
will love you all God Bless great win today
#Ravens.
Its clear that Rice was hurt by the words
spoken against him. However, thanks to
his tweet, hopefully fantasy owners who
feel the need to harass players via Twitter
will realize that the health and feelings of
players matter more than the points their
team scored.
For those who have fantasy football teams,
good luck the rest of the season. And
remember: its only a game.

Q: Where did Ray Rice go to college?
A: Rutgers University.
Ray Rice ranked sixth for fantasy

When fantasy football goes too far
DES MOINES, Iowa Te
season is three weeks old, and yet
there seems to be as many ques-
tions marks in the Big 12 now as
there were in August.
It's probably a good thing that
nearly half the league has the
weekend of.
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State,
TCU and Iowa State started bye
weeks on Monday and each is
doing its best to take advantage of
its early-season break.
Te 14th-ranked Sooners (3-0)
will use it to re-evaluate their
quarterback situation.
Oklahoma went with Blake Bell
at quarterback last week afer
Trevor Knight was sidelined with a
bruised knee. All Bell did was earn
Big 12 ofensive player of the week
honors in a 51-20 rout of Tulsa.
Bell, who was surprisingly beaten
out by Knight in fall camp, was
27 of 37 passing for 413 yards and
four touchdowns in his frst career
start.
"Te competition was very close.
He did keep a positive attitude and
kept working weekly. He was set
to play, kept working hard and he
knew if he had his opportunity he
was going to be prepared for it,"
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops
said.
Te Sooners now have an
extra week to allow Knight to get
healthy. Stoops said Monday that
Knight's status for the game at
Notre Dame on Sept. 28 won't be
clarifed until later this week.
But it also appears that Bell will
be given every opportunity to
wrestle the job away from Knight
regardless of health.
"Blake's the guy right now, but
we'll see how things go," Stoops
said. "Tat's just something that
we'll see as time goes. But right
now, there isn't an issue."
Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy would rather have one bye
week in the middle of the season
rather than one this week and
another in October.
Still, the Cowboys (3-0) head
into their frst break on a roll afer
pounding Lamar 59-3. Gundy
noted improvements in tackling,
special teams coverage and overall
fundamentals against the FCS
Cardinals.
Oklahoma State, ranked No. 11
in the nation, has two weeks to
prepare for their Big 12 opener at
West Virginia (2-1) on Sept. 28.
Te Mountaineers don't have it
nearly so easy. Tey face regional
rival Maryland in Baltimore on
Saturday.
"I think we're about where we
would expect to be. We obviously
have a plan for our football team,"
Gundy said. "It's obviously a long-
term plan. It's to try to make us
the best team we can in the end
of November and December, and
I feel like were close to being on
track."
For TCU, the bye will give it ad-
ditional time to bounce back from
a 1-2 start.
Te Horned Frogs were 4 of 16
on third-down conversions and
picked up 13 penalties for 115
yards in a 20-10 loss to Texas Tech
which helped the Red Raiders
snag the fnal spot in this week's
Top 25.
TCU is allowing nearly 25 points
a game, is ninth in the Big 12 with
190.7 yards passing per game and
has just two TD passes this season.
Te Horned Frogs host SMU on
Sept. 28.
"I think it's a combination of a lot
of things. Obviously the coaches
always get blamed. But we've had
2-3 days of talking about things
we need to do. We need to tweak
some things, change some things
around.
But we got to get some guys in
position where we have people
open that will catch the ball. Te
other night we could have run the
ball a little bit more efectively,"
TCU coach Gary Patterson said.
Iowa State bizarre early season
schedule includes a pair of byes
following by back-to-back Turs-
day night games.
Te Cyclones can only hope their
second bye in September will help
them turn things around.

Many uncertainties exist in Big 12
FOOTBALL
As disheartening as the fnal
result was for the Jayhawks in
the loss to Rice, Charlie Weis saw
several encouraging signs.
On defense, the secondary held
up in its frst true test of the sea-
son. Weis said the unit played bet-
ter than at any point last season,
and with three
sacks there
was plenty of
pressure on the
quarterback.
Our defense
was great,
Weis said in his
Monday tele-
conference.
Additionally,
James Sims
rushed for more
than 100 yards once again.
Tese were major strengths in
Saturdays game, but they couldnt
make up for the disappointing
passing game.
Te problem you have is, when
youre intermittent in the passing
game then you dont score points
and you end up losing, Weis said.
Intermittent is a nice way to de-
scribe the Kansas passing attack
against Rice. Jake Heaps threw
two interceptions, but more costly
still were the six dropped passes
by receivers.
It was the second straight week
that dropped passes have been a
major issue, and a dropped pass
on third down can be the same as
a turnover in some cases.
I mean, six drops, and fve of
them for key
frst downs, and
one of them
for a walk-in
touchdown,
Weis said. Tat
is signifcant.
Signifcant
enough that
Weis will con-
sider whether
changes in
personnel are
necessary.
Well address the guys that are
dropping them and then look to
see if theres other guys that can
play instead of them, Weis said.
So far, Weis has no concerns
with Heaps. It can be frustrating
for a quarterback to see his passes
drop to the ground despite being
perfectly thrown, but from Weis
perspective Heaps has handled
the situation as best as he can.
Heaps is one of the leaders on
the team that Weis believes he can
count on to handle unfavorable
situations in the right way.
Teres no problem with Jake,
he knows that is part of the deal,
Weis said. All his frustrations are
because hes trying to be error free
himself.
Te statistics, however, were
unimpressive again for Heaps.
He threw for 157 yards and one
touchdown, along with the two
interceptions, completing 13 of 28
passes. Te drops made up six of
those 15 incompletions.
Trow those on the completion
category and tally them up and
look at the percentage and the
yards there and all the sudden
youre saying he had a heck of a
game, Weis said.
Weis went a step further on
Monday, and said that during
practice passing was nearly
perfect.
Well, I mean, when you have a
practice on Wednesday when you
complete 29 of 31 passes without
a dropped ball and then you go
into a game and theres a bunch of
them, its just not consistent with
what is happening in practice,
Weis said.

COMMENTARY
Kansas offense
disappoints
E
nvironmentalists have
attempted to ban rice at
outdoor weddings, citing the
adverse efect it has on the pigeons
that eat it.
Maybe its time someone attempts
to ban Rice from the Kansas foot-
ball schedule. Its not healthy for
Kansas fans.
For the second straight year,
Kansas came up short against Rice.
Te Owls managed to hold the
Jayhawks to two touchdowns and
270 yards of total ofense.
Last year, Rice gave up 54 points
to Marshall, 56 points to Louisiana
Tech and 49 points to Tulane.
159 points allowed in three games
to non-BCS teams and Kansas
couldnt at least put up a third
touchdown?
Rices defense improved as the
year progressed and returned
almost all major contributors, in-
cluding Conference USA Preseason
Defensive Player of the Year Phillip
Gaines. Rice is not a bad team.
However, it is a team that relies
on its ofense to simply outscore
the other team. At the very least,
it should have been a high-scoring
afair that instilled confdence in
our revamped attack.
Nevertheless, instead of putting
pressure on Rices ofense to score,
Kansas ofense was as lifeless as a
Jack-O-Lantern in December.
Jake Heaps failed to impress
again, but that is almost more the
fault of his supporting cast. His re-
ceivers failed to get any separation
from the Rice corners. When they
did get separation, they treated
the football like it had chickenpox.
Tight end Jimmay Mundine, who
Weis touted in the ofseason, had
two key drops that would have
resulted in frst downs. One could
have even been a touchdown. With
the receivers poor performance,
it comes as no surprise that most
of Heaps completions were to the
backs.
As I feared, Weis didnt use his
running backs to their full poten-
tial. Instead of implementing the
relentless fve-headed attack he
used against South Dakota, Weis
relied heavily on James Sims.
Granted, Sims had a strong game
with 109 yards rushing on 19
carries, but Weis largely ignored
his superior depth. Last week
against South Dakota, 31 carries
were by running backs not named
James Sims. Against Rice, Sims
had all but four of the carries. Weis
also tried to use Heaps in option
situations, which were about as
successful as Eddie Murphys music
career.
Tere is no reason that Darrian
Miller only got two carries or that
Tony Pierson only rushed it once.
If you take away ten of Heaps
throws and replace them with
rushes, the outcome of this game
could have been very diferent. In-
stead, Weis opted to throw the ball
almost 30 times. He also decided
to give Heaps more rushes than any
of Sims backups.
Weis clearly is planning on riding
Heaps and his receivers, for better
or for worse. In the South Dakota
game, the rushing attack was
able to overcome the woes of the
passing game. Against Rice, it was
a diferent story.
Maybe Heaps will get more
comfortable in the ofense. Maybe
the receivers will succumb to fewer
drops.
Or maybe, Kansas should just
stop scheduling Rice.

Andrew White III shares his boot camp experience with reporters during a press conference Monday. Bill Self Boot Camp started Monday and will run through the remainder of the week.
BASKETBALL BOOT CAMP
Mens basketball team grinds through Bill Self Boot Camp
BLAKE SCHUSTER

Bill Self can run practice without
basketballs and make his players
lif weights until their arms fall
of, but afer one day of his famed
Boot Camp, hes going to need to
work a little harder to see what his
team is made of.
Nobody threw up, Andrew
White III said. So it was a real
good experience.
Alas, theres still time for Self
to make his team sick. For the
remainder of the week the Kansas
mens basketball team will go
through 5:30 a.m. workouts before
taking a break for classes, then
getting back to the gym.
Keep that in mind if you happen
to see any players sleepwalking
down Jayhawk Boulevard, and
perhaps help
them look both
ways before they
cross the street.
You can be sure
theyll need as
much ssistance
as possible.
Its a diferent
kind of tired,
you know what
I mean? former
Kansas player
Marcus Morris said to the Univer-
sity Daily Kansan in 2010. Your
bodys tired. You really cant sleep
that much.
Ten youre just running around
and doing drills and getting yelled
at. Its just drain-
ing.
Tink about
that the next
time you con-
sider walking
onto the team.
It doesnt matter
how much
playing time
you get, Self s
standards hardly
change.
Coach does it for a reason,
White III said. I think thats what
really brings a lot of guys together.
Yep, nothing like running wind
sprints before the sun comes up to
reafrm the concept of teamwork.
But, for those whove been
through Self s Boot Camp before,
its a chance for voices to become a
little louder and set the tone for the
year ahead.
Teres so much communication
going on today, White III said.
Just to make sure everybody was
getting through it at the pace we
need to have it done.
White III also said theres a part
of him that enjoys the process.
When the Jayhawks are battling
through tough games hell think
back to all these workouts to keep
his teammates motivated.
With a heavy non-conference
schedule, Kansas must be ready to
start grinding out wins early.
Te Jayhawks face the Duke Blue
Devils just two games into the
season, and head to the Battle 4
Atlantis tournament just a couple
of weeks afer that.
Te tough competition has made
Self s Boot Camp more vital this
year. Fortunately, even the new-
comers have been able to keep up
so far although theres still plen-
ty of time to draw the ire of Self.
We didnt have to do much ex-
tra, White III said. Tats always
good for the frst day.
Coach does it for a

reason. I think thats what
really brings a lot of guys
together.

The problem you have is

when youre intermittent in
the passing game then you
dont score points and you
end up losing.
