CELLPHONES
AT&T to improve cellphone reception on campus
Students, fans and faculty will
soon have faster and more di-
rect cellphone service due to a
new Distributed Antenna System
(DAS) that is being installed on
campus by AT&T.
According to AT&T, the DAS
system will provide a boost and
enhance current wireless networks
to 4G LTE speeds by installing
hundreds of mini antennas in
prominent places on campus. Te
system will be installed in three
phases with the frst phase com-
pletion date being set in the spring
of 2014, with the total completion
date being set for 2015.
Te new network will only be ac-
cessible to AT&T customers in its
initial stages. People with mobile
devices from diferent carriers will
only be able to access the network
once the project is completed.
Initially the DAS will be brought
on-air for AT&T customers only,
said Alex Dufek, University alum-
nus and senior PR manager at
AT&T. AT&T is installing neu-
tral-host DAS on campus, mean-
ing the DAS is built so that all
carriers are able to join the DAS, if
they would like to do so.
Currently this form of technolo-
gy is used in large stadiums to pro-
vide a boost to networks. Accord-
ing to AT&T, a similar system will
be installed in areas that include
Allen Fieldhouse, the residence
halls, Memorial Stadium, the aca-
demic buildings and parts of West
Campus.
A DAS system works by using
small antennas that are dispersed
and connect to a network rather
than using a direct link between a
mobile device and a service tower.
According to AT&T, factors such
as crowd density, geography and
network trafc are some of the
limiting factors to cellphone ser-
vice.
DAS technology is used in areas
such as football and baseball stadi-
ums to lessen the load on network
systems which can become over-
loaded by the number of people
trying to access it, according to
AT&T. Mini antennas divide and
direct cellphone activity which
makes it easier for customers to
access their wireless network.

A local coalition met with the city
commission of Lawrence this Tues-
day to discuss guidelines on proper
drone use in residential areas. Ben
Jones, a local activist, helped to or-
ganize Kansans for Responsible
Drone Use in an attempt to protect
certain rights that he believes are
being infringed upon.
Tere has been an erosion of civil
liberties over the past few years with
the Patriot Act and actions taken by
the NSA, so it never hurts to have
guidelines in place, Jones said.
Te coalition frst organized a
year ago, when a
few like-minded
citizens decided
that they dis-
agreed with the
institution of do-
mestic drone use
by the FAA. Te
group is highly
diverse in terms
of political aflia-
tion and therefore
their opinions ofer an accurate
sample of the community at large.
We work with groups across the
political spectrum to make sure
that this new technology does not
erode civil liberties, Jones said.
Te resolution drafed by the
group was composed of three main
stances, the frst of which called for
local government to put of making
use of drones until the state legisla-
ture made a ruling on appropriate
guidelines. Te city commission
focused on this point when making
a decision.
We determined that the city has
no plans to purchase or acquire any
drones in the near future. In the
event that we decided to purchase
or acquire any drone capability, we
would draf policy statements con-
cerning the appropriate use and any
limitations on their implementa-
tion in the city of Lawrence, Mayor
Michael Dever said.
Dever and the city commission
are not comfortable with wait-
ing on the state to issue an edict
on this issue
since the state
legislature is
not current-
ly working on
or discussing
it. With this in
mind the rul-
ing was that, at
this time, it is
premature to be
writing policies
on something that hasnt been con-
sidered at length.
Te other two stances outlined in
the resolution concerned the use
of weaponized drones and surveil-
lance drones by law enforcement
ofcials. Tarik Khatib, the chief of
police in Lawrence, worked in tan-
dem with Ben Jones when it came
to outlining the resolution and in-
formed his group just how the po-
lice department would make use of
drones.
It is our obligation to inform our
community and decision makers
about the pros and cons of certain
law enforcement tools, Khatib said.
Khatib assured the coalition that
law enforcement ofcials would not
use these drones for daily surveil-
lance and would employ them only
in life threatening situations.
Jones and his coalition expressed
a fervent desire to not be misinter-
preted as wanting a ban on drones
and their use in all situations. Te
group rather wants to advocate for
guidelines that dictate the proper
use of these tools so they do not
infringe on any civil liberties. Jones
agrees that there are ways in which
drones can do good things for the
people.
Mark Ewing, associate professor
of aerospace engineering, is the
director of the fight research lab-
oratory at the University. Ewing
outlined how drones, or unmanned
aerial vehicles, can be used for
surveillance afer natural disasters
and can even increase agricultural
production through a better under-
standing of farming techniques.
Tere are valid privacy concerns
with the drones, but the UAVs that
we fy here at KU are focused on
remote sensing and can be put to
great use, Ewing said.
Having asserted that the group
does not advocate for a blanket ban
on drones use, Jones believes that
support for the cause will continue
to grow. Having already received
backing from eight other Lawrence
community organizations, the coa-
lition is well on its way to accom-
plishing its aims.
Citizens have been on the defen-
sive with these concerns in the past,
but this resolution gives them a
chance to be proactive and protect
their civil liberties before they are
violated, rather than afer, Jones
said.

If youve checked your university
email at all over the past year, you
may have noticed that theres a new
and easy way to order food from
some of your favorite Lawrence
food stops.
OrderUp has been active for
approximately 15 months and
provides Lawrence residents and
students with the option of order-
ing food online, as well as alerting
them on local specials.
We pride ourselves on being the
only online ordering provider in
town, said Trevor Anderson, own-
er of OrderUp Lawrence. We ofer
special deals to students and even
have an app that makes it very easy
as well.
OrderUp currently ofers online
ordering for 11 Lawrence eateries,
including student favorites such
as Pizza Shuttle, Wheat State Pizza
and Biggs Barbecue.
I think OrderUp exposes our
menu to people that otherwise
wouldnt see it, said Doug Holi-
day, owner of Biggs. Also, we get
a lot of takeout business and a large
segment of those people prefer to
order online.
Students that have utilized the
new service agree that OrderUp is
efective at getting the word out on
local deals and increasing the ef-
ciency of orders placed from home.
I follow [OrderUp] on Twitter,
so I just scroll through my feed and
see many diferent deals that are
available at that time, said Schuy-
ler Johnson, a senior from Topeka.
Its pretty convenient and makes
ordering easier too.
Online food ordering has become
a much bigger market over the last
decade, with many expecting it to
surpass picking up the phone in the
near future.
In 2004, only 10 percent of Amer-
icans placed an order for food on-
line, with that number growing to
33 percent by 2011, according to
the OrderUp website.
Lawrence seems to ft this trend,
as Anderson says that OrderUp
sales in Lawrence alone have in-
creased 300 percent over the last
three months.
Everything can be bought online
and food is one of the last markets
to get into that, said Anderson.
Its fragmented, ever changing,
and takes a team of local people to
make it work, which is why its late.
Lawrence is currently one of 26
markets that OrderUp operates in,
the vast majority of these markets
being college towns.
Anderson thinks this is exactly
the type of environment that Or-
derUp thrives in.
For us, it defnitely helps to have
the tight knit community of a col-
lege town, he said. Lawrence is a
great market for OrderUp to be in
and a great thing for students to
utilize to save time and money.

If youve been keeping up with
Glee, you know theres a lot going
on at McKinley High. In the last
season alone weve covered catfsh-
ing, an almost-school shooting, an
almost-wedding, a real wedding
and a possible proposal. Lets not
forget that half the cast graduated
and moved on to broader pastures,
most notably New York. Just when
it feels like theyve covered every-
thing, season fve just might get
crazier afer it premieres tonight at
8 p.m.
Last season ended with an un-
expected wedding for Will and
Emma. With the status of this
on-again-of-again couple fnally
locked into place, the standing of
another power couple came into
question as the episode ended with
Blaine holding a ring box behind
his back.
If youre wondering about any
big changes, you just have to look
at the cast to see that McKinley is
preparing to take a new direction.
According to MTV News, Demi
Lovato will be joining the cast for a
short period of time to play a pos-
sible love-interest for Santana in
New York. Adam Lambert has also
nabbed a role on the show, though
it is unclear what his role will be.
As for the rest of the cast, Heather
Morris, better known as the dumb-
blond-turned-genius Brittany S.
Pierce, wont be returning for this
season. Other actors that were
bumped of the list include Amber
Riley, Mark Salling, Harry Shum,
Jr., and Dianna Agron.
Perhaps the most notable absence
will be that of Finn Hudson, played
by Cory Monteith. Afer Monte-
iths unexpected death in July, fans
have speculated how theyre going
to deal with his character on the
show. Te third episode of the sea-
son, titled Te Quarterback, will
be a tribute episode to Monteith as
McKinley mourns Finns death.
Tat leaves us with a lot of ques-
tions lef for this season to answer.
Is there hope for Kurt and Blaine?
Will the crew in New York make
ends meet? How are they going to
deal with Finns death? And that,
my fellow Gleeks, is why we cant
stop watching.

Someone at Netfix must have
read my article. Remember that
whiny piece I wrote about spoilers?
Well, a solution has fnally been
created. Its called Spoiler Foiler.
Spoiler Foiler, found at spoiler-
foiler.com, was created by Netfix
in preparation for the series fnale
of Breaking Bad. It was made for
the people who are unable to watch
the series fnale on Sunday night,
but still want to use Twitter. Te
premise is simple: you go to the
page, log in with your Twitter us-
ername and password, and it takes
you to a makeshif Twitter feed.
It is still your feed, but the tweets
that contain key words related to
the show, such as breaking, bad,
or white, will not have the actu-
al tweet. Tese suspected spoilers
are blacked out and say SPOILER
WARNING !! You do have the op-
tion to click on the tweet in order
to reveal it if youre confdent that
its not a spoiler.
Because Netfix picked out gen-
eral words like breaking to yield
the best results, some tweets will be
blocked that have absolutely noth-
ing to do with the show (for ex-
ample, some of my breaking news
tweets have been blocked). But hey,
better safe than sorry, right? And
because the web page only emu-
lates your Twitter feed, a user still
wont have access to the full site. If
you want to view your direct mes-
sages, youll have to log in to the
real Twitter.
Tere are ways of fxing your
actual Twitter feed so as to block
the Breaking Bad tweets, but it
would require you going in and
changing your own personal Twit-
ter flters, which sounds like time
you could be spending catching
up on Breaking Bad. As of right
now, Spoiler Foiler was only creat-
ed to block Breaking Bad tweets,
but hopefully it might catch on for
other shows. Take advantage of this
tool for avoiding spoilers this Sun-
day, but dont plan on relying on
it forever. If enough time goes by,
someone will probably spoil it for
you and, remember: theres always
Facebook.

From Olympics to bench, Salazar returns to midfeld
HEATHER NELSON
hnelson@kansan.com
Liana Salazar trembled as nervous
excitement consumed her body.
She noticed the physical build of
Team USA: Abby Wambach, Alex
Morgan and Shannon Boxx warm-
ing up on the opposite side of the
feld. Tey were much bigger and
stronger than the young Colombi-
an team.
Wembley Stadium was flled to
capacity millions of viewers
would watch from their televisions.
U-S-A chants echoed across the
arena, but the womens Colombian
national team hoped to stun the
Americans in the 2012 Olympics.
At that time, Liana believed shed
return to the University of Kansas
an Olympian well equipped for her
sophomore season.
I remember when I was a child,
[my dream was] to be able to play
for my national team, Salazar said.
Whether it was the South Ameri-
can National Tournament or what-
ever.
Te Colombian team lost 3-0 to
the U.S. women, but Salazar re-
mained optimistic for the teams fu-
ture. Te Colombian women have
made consistent progress since
Salazar started playing.
Despite her countrys minimal
success, Salazar said playing on the
world stage created an opportunity
for the world to pay attention to her
home country.
Te world has all their eyes on
you and your team. It was amaz-
ing, Salazar said.
COLUMBIAN COMMITMENT
At the age of 13, Salazars career
jump started. Salazar said a friend,
who had a contact for the city team,
encouraged her to try out. When
Salazar played for her high school
team, she practiced twice a week
for two hours. Te city team de-
manded more.
She said she became over-
whelmed with the commitment:
two and a half hours of practice
everyday, including the weekends.
School was my frst and my ev-
erything, Salazar said. I went to
the practice, and I was like, No, I
cant do this, because I had school
and then practice and then home-
work.
Tree months afer she quit the
team, Salazar received a call from
the coach. Te coach invited her
to play in an upcoming tourna-
ment against a club team, she said.
Te same coach later recruited her
to play on the Under-17 National
team.
FALL OF AN OLYMPIAN
Following Salazars graduation
from high school, she took a year
of to focus on playing soccer. At
that time, she prepared for the Un-
der-20 Womens World Cup.
Isabella Echeverri, one of Salazars
teammates from the U-20 team,
said even though the two werent
friends at frst because of a long
history of competition, she learned
a lot from her style of play.
She is determined to win all
the time, she is a really quick and
technical player as well as a good
teammate [on and of] the feld,
Echeverri said.
Salazar is always looking for new
ways to learn and improve. She
heard that coming to the U.S. could
give her that opportunity.
When I came to visit KU it just
felt right. Te campus and the town
were great and I really like Coach
Francis. It was a perfect ft for me,
Salazar said.
Te Colombian midfelder started
all 21 contests her freshman year at
the University. She scored goals in
decisive matches against top oppo-
nents. In a near upset over Texas
A&M in the Big 12 Tournament,
Salazar scored twice in regula-
tion and penalty kicks. All these
she accomplished as a freshman.
Salazar did not know English.
Salazar said almost every class she
took her freshman year was En-
glish, which caused her to fall be-
hind in other classes for her Mar-
keting major. She planned to take
classes the summer between her
freshman and sophomore year. But
more important things got in the
way.
When the opportunity to play for
the Olympics arose, Salazar accept-
ed the challenge. Tis opportunity
prohibited her
from taking sum-
mer classes.
One week be-
fore the Universi-
tys soccer season
started, Salazar
found out she was
ineligible to play
her sophomore
season.
I was like, Oh
my God. It was a
shock, Salazar said.
An athlete primed from compe-
tition in the Olympic games would
now sit on the bench for the season.
Sophomore defender Hanna
Kallmaier, Salazars teammate and
roommate, said the team missed
having her on the feld.
She was cheering from outside,
which was good. But it was def-
nitely not good for us not having
her, Kallmaier said.
Salazar remained positive. Her
mother and brother encouraged
her. She improved her skills during
her downtime. She tested her team-
mates physicality at practices.
She made goals for herself. And
she embraced the opportunity to
support her teammates in a new,
diferent way.
It was hard at the beginning,
Salazar said. I was in the Olym-
pic games and I was in really good
shape. I
t h o u g h t ,
Tis year is
going to be
one of my
best years.
But then, it
was com-
pletely dif-
ferent.
I ns t e a d,
Salazar fo-
cused on
fne-tuning her fundamentals. She
also spent time catching up with
school.
BACK ON THE FIELD
Salazar took 51 credits over the
fall, spring and summer semesters.
In August, Salazar returned to the
feld with her team. Tis year she
hoped to score more goals than she
had her freshman year. She wanted
to work on being mentally tough,
whether the team was winning or
losing.
And Salazar had overcome her
biggest feat: academics.
It feels great to be back, Salazar
said. Its been a process because I
didnt play for one year. You have to
change your mentality you have
to play quick, you have to move,
you have to run, you have to be
strong. Im getting better.
Salazar came back with a ven-
geance. Salazar scored a game-win-
ning penalty in an exhibition
game at the University of Nebras-
ka-Omaha. Te redshirt soph-
omore has three goals and two
assists in the eleven games played
so far this season. Conference play
starts on Oct. 4 at Iowa State.
Salazar said she hoped shed be in
better shape to face the conference
teams.
Te experiences Salazar faced
challenged her, and she learned
from them. She will never regret
her decision to go to the Olympics,
regardless of her ineligibility at the
University.
I believe that things happen for
a reason. I dont know if for some
magic reason? Salazar said. So
maybe it wasnt my time to play.
Maybe next year [isnt] my time to
play? It was maybe the opportunity
to catch up with school and have a
diferent impact on my team.

Kansas soccer hopes to continue improvements on the road
Momentum for the Kansas soc-
cer team is shifing in a positive
direction as the team heads to
California Friday for a match
against the Santa Clara Broncos
(4-3-1). Kansas (5-4-1) swept its
two opponents last weekend afer
having a three-game losing streak.
Coach Mark Francis said he
hopes his team will build on last
weekends success.
We defnitely made some im-
provements in a lot of the areas
weve been working on, so thats
encouraging, Francis said. We
have to continue to look to get
better every day.
Kansas faces a tough opponent
in Santa Clara. Despite their three
losses, the Broncos are ranked
ninth in the frst RPI poll of the
season put out by the NCAA this
week. Tey have earned their
ranking by playing a tough sched-
ule. Tey have already faced four
other teams in the top 15: No. 3
Virginia, No. 4 North Carolina,
No. 6 Stanford and No. 14 Mary-
land. Santa Claras only victory in
those matches was against Mary-
land.
Santa Clara is coming of a 3-2
loss in double overtime to Stan-
ford on Sept. 22. In the 108th
minute of the game, Stanford
scored the winning goal. For the
season, senior midfelder Julia
Johnston is leading the team with
fve goals. Close behind is senior
forward Morgan Marlborough
with four. Teir goalkeeper, soph-
omore Andi Tostanoski, has a save
percentage of 81 percent with 42
saves this season.
Kansas, which is ranked 100 in
the RPI poll, knows that Santa
Clara will pose a challenge.
Santa Clara is a very good
team, Francis said. We are going
to have to play well to compete,
and I think we are defnitely capa-
ble of that.
Junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
played a big role in the teams re-
cent success, and the conference
took notice. Stroud was named
the Big 12 Defensive Player of the
Week afer making three saves on
Sept. 20 and shutting out Illinois
State on Sept. 22 with seven saves.
She is currently the conference
leader in saves with 44.
Its really exciting for KU to get
recognized, Stroud said. Weve
worked really hard this past week-
end and something that we as a
defense were really focusing on
was getting those shutouts.
Kansas closes out its noncon-
ference portion of the schedule
Friday before turning its attention
to the Big 12. Te team has played
well at times, and not well at oth-
ers. Te Jayhawks have shut out
teams and have been blown out.
Overall I would say we have
been a little bit inconsistent,
Francis said. I think the noncon-
ference has been good. We have
played some good teams, and its
been a learning experience for us.
Francis said specifcally the Ar-
izona State game, where Kansas
lost 4-0, brought to light some de-
fensive weaknesses that could be
fxed. Other losses, he said, were
just frustrating where his team
dominated the play, but couldnt
convert opportunities.
Kansas will face Santa Clara
on the road Friday at 9 p.m. For
the frst time this season, the Jay-
hawks will not play a second game
over the weekend. Te frst con-
ference game is against Iowa State
on Oct. 4.

Andrew Wiggins didnt back
down from putting high expecta-
tions on himself and his teammates
in his media day appearance.
We can be the best, Wiggins
said. Te main goal for all of us is
to win the national championship.
Tere is more anticipation among
the fans than any season in Bill
Self s career at Kansas, as far as he
can tell, he said in his press confer-
ence before the players spoke on
Wednesday afernoon.
Tis team hasnt proven itself at
all, but still the unknown of having
a good recruiting class, I think, has
everybody excited, Self said.
Self said the recruiting class was
already one of the best he had
brought in, but Wiggins became
the icing on the cake when he an-
nounced he would be a Jayhawk.
Te ceiling is high, and Wiggins
doesnt have to look far to fnd
motivation to reach college bas-
ketballs highest achievement. He
watched as his older brother, Nick,
made the Final Four with Wichita
State last season.
I got to see how much joy and
happiness it brought him. So I want
to be a part of that too, Wiggins
said. I want to make it to the Final
Four.
But its still September, and for
now Wiggins is focused on perfect-
ing his game and enjoying college
life.
Despite the hype that has sur-
rounded Wiggins, he still feels like
he can appreciate being a college
student.
Ive never experienced nothing
like it, Wiggins said. Ive been
able to enjoy it. We have practice
and weights and stuf like that, but
afer that its college. Its known to
be the best years of a lot of peoples
lives.
Tere is pressure on Wiggins from
all angles, including from himself,
but he welcomes it and uses it to
make himself a better player.
Teres pressure, but for me its
motivating pressure, Wiggins said.
People give me big shoes to fll,
and Im just doing my best to fll
them.
Hes been compared to the great-
est players in the game right now.
But Wiggins said he hasnt had
any conversations with players like
LeBron James or Kevin Durant, but
for now its enough that they know
his name.
Tey know of me, Wiggins said.
Tats a blessing. Te best players
in the world know about you.
All of the pressure and expecta-
tions could seem overwhelming,
but Wiggins credits his family for
keeping it from getting to him.
No matter what happens this sea-
son he knows where they stand.
Troughout this year when I
have bad games or good games,
people are going to love me, people
are going to hate me, but my fam-
ily is going to be there regardless,
Wiggins said.
As a freshman, Wiggins already
knows how to handle the media.
He said that sometimes he enjoys
it, but other times its not much fun.
At one point he was asked what
he knew about the tradition and
history surrounding Kansas bas-
ketball, and whether he planned on
his name being mentioned among
the best to ever play at Allen Field-
house.
Hopefully when its all said and
done I will be, Wiggins responded.
Before the year is done Ill get all
the history.

Facing one of the tallest and most
physical teams it will play all sea-
son, Kansas fell in fve sets to the
Italian U-23 national team in an
exhibition match at Horejsi Family
Athletics Center on Wednesday.
With the game not afecting their
record, the Jayhawks came into
the match with little expectation
and simply the goal of getting bet-
ter and gaining experience. Every
player received extended playing
time as the reserves got a chance to
contribute. Redshirt freshman set-
ter Maggie Anderson and redshirt
freshman Janae Hall, in particular,
played pivotal roles in the match.
Coach Ray Bechard said he en-
joyed the opportunity to put difer-
ent lineups out there and give his
players experience against a quality
team.
It was good to get the entire
roster in there, Bechard said. Its
good to see all those guys work to-
gether.
Featuring multiple players that
stood at 62 or taller, the Italians
hit the ball with high velocity as
they pounded 55 kills in the match.
Valentia Diouf, 67, led the Italian
team with 19 kills.
We dont see a lot of 67 in our
conference, Bechard said. Not
just 67 but also a good player with
a heavy arm.
Te two teams traded leads
throughout the frst set as no team
held a lead more than three points.
Down 12-10 in the set, Kansas only
allowed six more points the rest
of the way as they took the set 21-
18. Freshman outside hitter Tiana
Dockerys fve kills led the way with
redshirt senior Caroline Jarmoc
and junior outside hitter Sara Mc-
Clinton chipping in four kills each.
Te defense held the Italians to a
.257 hitting percentage and quieted
them late in the set.
At the beginning of the second
set, the Italians raced out to an 8-4
lead. Two kills by McClinton and
kills by Hall and Jarmoc erased the
early defcit. Tied at 17-17, the Ital-
ians reeled of the next three points
to take a 20-17 lead. Te Jayhawks
fought of two set points with a kill
by senior outside hitter Chelsea Al-
bers and a block by McClinton and
Hall, but the Italians won a back-
and-forth point to take the set 21-
19.
Using a majority of their second
unit, the Jayhawks fell behind 3-13
early in the set and couldnt recov-
er. Senior Amy Wehrs, senior Kara
Wehrs, freshman outside hitter
Emma Hanson and Anderson all
saw action in the set. Afer posting
15 kills in each of the frst two sets,
the Jayhawks had just seven in the
third set to go along with fve er-
rors.
With strong serving from An-
derson and back-to-back-to-back
blocks, the Jayhawks sprinted to a
7-0 lead to open the fourth set. Al-
bers and Hall had four blocks each
in the set as the Italians hitting per-
centage was -.094 for the set while
their overall percentage dipped to
.228. Kansas did not commit an er-
ror in the set.
Tied 8-8 in the ffh and decisive
set, the Italians took fve of the next
six points to open up a lead and
eventually take the set 15-11 and
win the match. Te Jayhawks had
eight errors in the set to just six
kills.
Brianne Riley set the tone on de-
fense with 17 digs while McClinton
and junior outside hitter Chelsea
Albers reached double-digit kills
in limited time with 10 and 11, re-
spectively. Hall had a team-high six
blocks, and Anderson stepped in
to contribute nine assists, fve digs
and a service ace. Anderson said
she beneftted from the extra play-
ing time.
I got a lot of confdence in my-
self, Anderson said. When I go
out there and serve the way I did
tonight, it boosts my confdence.
Bechard said the Italians were the
equivalent of a high-level Division
I volleyball team. He noted they
play similar to Texas and Pennsyl-
vania Statetwo traditional pow-
erhouses in collegiate volleyball.
Te Italians also defeated Kansas
State on Tuesday in fve sets.
Kansas (10-3) begins conference
play on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 1 p.m.
at home against Texas Christian

EVENTS
I
swear sports and music are so synony-
mous. Cause we wanna be them, and
they wanna be us.
Tose are Drakes lyrics from his 2010 song
Tank Me Now. In case you cant tell, hip-
hop culture and sports are becoming thor-
oughly fused.
Most recently, you could have caught the
rapper and hip-hop icon live on ESPNs
SportsCenter making an appearance and
promoting the sports video game FIFA 14.
Drakes appearance on ESPN is tiny in
comparison to the events of the past year
where we have seen sports and hip-hop
clash though it was cool to see Octobers
Very Own score some goals to give a few
fans a free copy of FIFA.
While Drake has been dabbling in the
sporting world, two of the most prominent
fgures in their felds have been crossing the
lines with a much more robust approach.
Enter #TeMoneyTeam.
Floyd Money Mayweather, creator of
the group/brand Te Money Team, for
those of you living under a rock won by
majority decision against Mexican boxer
Canelo Alvarez in the highest revenue pay-
per-view boxing match of all time. For all
the hype, Mayweathers internal confdence/
arrogance/alpha dog made sure his entry
was nothing short of a million-dollar per-
formance.
With rapper Lil Wayne performing A
Milli on his right and world icon and Mon-
ey Team member Justin Bieber on his lef,
Mayweather took the ring in fashion ft for
a king. He is king, though. Te world cham-
pion has entered 45 fghts and was victori-
ous in each of them. Now he wants to roll
into fght 46 with Miley Cyrus. No twerking,
please.
Now cross over from sports
icon to hip-hop icon Jay-Z.
Hova has spent the last few
years solidifying himself as more
of a businessman than artist.
Tough he himself claims Best
Rapper Alive in his songs, it is an
injustice to the diversity of his pro-
fessional portfolio.
Te basketball video game NBA
2K13 has Jay-Zs fngerprints all over
it. From soundtrack to intro, there was
a full production impact from Jay-Z. He
also has a small percentage of ownership of
the Brooklyn Nets. But thats just the tip of
the iceberg.
In his 2013 song titled Crown, Jay-Z touts
his new ventures as a sports agent and his
immediate success with some of sports top
names.
Scott Boras, you over baby. Robinson
Cano, you coming with me. Scott Boras,
of course, being the New York Yankee stars
former agent before Cano switched over to
Jay-Zs new sports management branch, Roc
Nation Sports.
H i p -
hop and sports
are intercon-
nected: a solu-
tion, not a mixture, for
you chemistry nerds.
Te proof is in the pudding, though. Be-
cause it can absolutely be argued that Jay-Z
can make a Yankee hat more famous than a
Yankee can.
Tere are more rap lyrics in this article
than cited notations in all of my research
papers combined. But why listen to me try
to convince you?
You should probably just pay attention to
Money and HOV.

Lines blur between hip-hop and sports
Afer a shaky start to the season
that included three losses in seven
matches, the Jayhawks (10-3) ride
a six-game winning streak into its
frst conference match on Saturday,
Sept. 28, against Texas Christian
University (11-3) at Horejsi Family
Athletics Center at 1 p.m.
Te non-conference season fo-
cused on gaining momentum for
Big 12 play and gaining experience
playing a variety of teams from dif-
ferent conferences. Te Jayhawks
played at least one team from every
power conference (other than the
Big 12) in addition to the South-
land Conference champions from
last season. Te focus now turns
to the Big 12, a conference that has
fve potential NCAA Tournament
teams.
Te Jayhawks expect big things
afer going 12-4 in the conference
last season with just one home loss
that came at the hands of eventual
NCAA Champion Texas. Te oth-
er losses came at Texas, Iowa State
and Baylor.
TCU comes to Lawrence clinging
to an eight-game winning streak,
and, like Kansas, the Horned Frogs
have swept their last two weekend
tournaments. TCU won the TCU
Nike/Molten Invitational on Sept.
13-14 and earned the Spartan
Spiketacular title last weekend.
Te Horned Frogs led the Big
12 with a .274 hitting percentage.
Senior middle blocker Yvonne Ig-
odan and junior right side hitter
Stephanie Holland rank 2nd and
6th in the Big 12, respectively, in
the category.
Te Jayhawks won both matches
against the Horned Frogs in 2012,
losing just one set overall. In the
home match, redshirt senior mid-
dle blocker Caroline Jarmoc re-
corded a career high with 23 kills
with an impressive .613 hitting per-
centage as the Jayhawks won 25-21,
25-20, 20-25, 25-19.
Kansas swept the match in Fort
Worth, Texas, 25-18, 25-14, 25-17.
Nine diferent Kansas players re-
corded a kill in the contest.
Te Horned Frogs went 15-14
overall last season and 4-12 in the
Big 12. In the preseason, they were
picked to tie for 7th place in the
conference with Texas Tech.
With nine volleyball teams in the
Big 12 (Oklahoma State doesnt
have a team), all teams will play
each other at home and on the
road. Te team with the best record
wins the regular season champion-
ship; there is no tournament cham-
pionship following the regular
season. Texas won the conference
outright last year and sufered just
one loss in the conferenceat Iowa
State.
Texas and Iowa State, as of Sept.
25, are the only Big 12 teams in the
Top 25 of the American Volley-
ball Coaches Association poll. Te
Longhorns stand at No. 5 while the
Cyclones hang on at No. 25. Kansas
State and Oklahoma both received
votes to make the poll.

oach Charlie Weis
doesn't have a historic
program to sell while
on the recruiting trail, nor
does he have a winning
pedigree as a college head
coach. Even the stadium he
recruits to has a track around
the feld.
But he has more playing time
to ofer to potential recruits
than any coach in the country,
and he hasnt been shy about
pointing that out. Afer all, it
was Weis who told recruits
to look at that pile of crap
from last year's 1-11 team
while selling them on the
opportunity to play early on in
their career.
If you can't play here, where
can you play? he said at Big
12 Media Days in July.
Junior college transfer
Marquel Combs is about
to fnd the answer to that
question. Te defensive
lineman and No. 1 junior
college recruit in the country
had scholarship ofers from
Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan
State, Ole Miss, Tennessee,
and Texas A&M, just to name
a few. But he said he wanted
to make an immediate impact
and rebuild a program, and
what place gave him a better
opportunity to do this than
Kansas?
But the diference in talent
between junior college football
and Division 1 footballeven
at a place like Kansasis
massive, and Combs seemed
to learn that the hard way
afer failing to crack the
starting lineup and reportedly
preparing to sit out this
season while taking a redshirt,
beginning his two years of
eligibility next fall.
We don't yet know, and
may never know, if Combs'
inability to get on the feld led
to his decision to transfer, but
you don't need to take many
mental leaps to come to that
conclusion. Regardless, he is
now free to play at any school
of his choosing outside the Big
12. Of course, that will be afer
sitting out this season, which
he would have done anyway
had he decided to redshirt and
stay in Lawrence.
Confused yet?
Charlie Weis may have been
throwing his players under the
bus with his blunt question
to recruits, but he was telling
the truth. It's hard to imagine
Combs doing any better right
now at Arkansas, Missouri,
Kansas State, or any of the
other dozens of schools that
ofered him scholarships.
If you can't play here, where
can you play?
Marquel Combs will fnd out
soon enough, and something
tells me he won't like the
answer.
