NIVERSITY
The student voice since 1904
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
The Campus Safety Advisory Board
announced Thursday that fundraising
for a lighted pathway through the student
ghetto was its top priority for this year.
The $531,000 project, started last fall,
has since faced severe funding shortfalls. It
was delayed when the Kansas Department of
Transportation turned down a $174,345 grant
the City of Lawrence had applied for to help
fund the project.
The proposed lighted pathways would run
down the sidewalks on the north side of 12th
Street between Vermont to Louisiana streets.
Another path would run down 14th Street
between Louisiana and Ohio streets.
The Campus Safety Advisory Board said it
would seek additional funding from Student
Senate, the City of Lawrence and third-party
donors. Senate contributed $20,000 to help
fund the project last year. Though the advisory
board is likely to request more money from
Senate, Student Body President Michael Wade
Smith said he was uncomfortable with the pos-
sibility of Senate paying more than 50 percent
of the total cost. He said because its a city proj-
ect, the city should provide adequate funding.
So far the city has contributed $110,000.
However, the city awarded a $60,000 grant
under the condition that it would only be used
for lighting in South Park. Because it would
cost $30,000 to light South Park, the advisory
board hopes to free the remaining $30,000 to
use elsewhere.
The board may also decide to allocate a
portion of its own budget for the project,
said Libby Johnson, board chairwoman. Board
members discussed contributing $100,000 to
help fund the project last year. No similar
discussions have occurred between the new
board members.
The greatest challenge will be finding the
support and the funding sources for the proj-
ect, said Johnson, a senior from Lawrence. We
want to know that there is enough interest in
getting this done.
The advisory board also brainstormed ideas
for other projects on Thursday. These included
providing flashlights to students and creating a
campus safety application for mobile devices.

Stephen Evans, a full-time lec-
turer in the department of English,
gives students in his classes extra
credit if they get a flu shot. His
reasoning, he says, is simple.
The flu can be devastating to
students academically, Evans said.
I encourage them to get vacci-
nated in order to prevent that. I
view getting the flu shot as one
of the best preventative measures
a student can make for his or her
success.
However, fewer students at the
University are taking this advice,
which goes against the Centers for
Disease Control and Preventions
recommendation that everyone six
months or older gets vaccianted
this year. The number of KU stu-
dents who have received flu shots
so far at the clinics on campus is
down almost 50 percent from two
years ago.
Patty Quinlan, the nursing
supervisor at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said the goal each
year is to give 1,000 doses per three
weeks worth of clinics. However,
during the last three weeks, the

New public health
school in the works
The University is planning to
establish a new school of Public
Health that could be implement-
ed at the University of kansas
medical center by July 1.
The school which would
consist of a reorganization of the
preventive medicine, biostatistics,
and health policy and manage-
ment programs would help
fll a hole in a growing industry in
both the midwest and kansas.
Glen cox, director of the insti-
tute for community and public
health at the medical center, said
there are only just more than 40
schools of public health in the
country and that the central re-
gion is largely underrepresented.
If you dont train individuals lo-
cally, it can set a state back, as its
very difcult to recruit from other
regions in the country,cox said.
There have been discussions
about the possibility of develop-
ing such a school for decades, but
the most recent efort by ofcials
started in July 2008. Plans for the
school were submitted to the
board of regents in August, and
if they gain approval from the full
board in december or January,
the longer ofcial accreditation
process will begin.
The new school would prepare
students to enter both the public
and private sectors in disciplines
such as health management,
health policymaking, and bio-
statistics research. High-demand
careers are available in places
like hospitals and insurance and
pharmaceutical companies.
Although much of the infra-
structure and funding is already in
place through existing programs,
a need of between $2 and 2.5 mil-
lion has been identifed to recruit
a dean and new faculty members.
The school wants to raise that pri-
marily through private philanthro-
py and grants, hoping to avoid the
need for state support.
The plans have been criticized
by some, however, for creating a
new school in the middle of state
budget problems, but cox said
kansas cant be left unprepared.
you have to have a plan and
already have execution under
way when the business cycle
turns or youre going to be left
behind, cox said.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEdNESdAy, NOvEMbEr 10, 2010 / NEWS / 3A
BY GARTH SEARS
gsears@kansan.com
Beadre Angermuller had her
picture taken at a new studio in
town just weeks after giving birth,
even though she was still carrying
some baby weight.
Holy crap, thats me? she
said when she saw her picture. It
made me feel a hell of a lot better
about myself.
Thats the point at Bombshell,
located at 613 N. 2nd St., a pho-
tography studio that focuses on
making women look beautiful
regardless of size, age or any-
thing else. Although the company
uses computerized effects to make
their pictures look like vintage
pinups, the goal isnt to alter the
womans appearance.
Thats what I hear over and
over and over, co-founder Carol
Ann Zuk said. Wow, that really
is me. And look at me.
Zuk said if you ask women if
they like themselves, too many say
no. Speaking from personal expe-
rience, Zuk said she was never
happy with herself until she was
into her 40s.
I didnt think I was good
enough, she said.
Body dissatisfaction is especially
high among college women, where
91 percent of women reportedly
attempted to control their weight
through dieting, according to
The National Eating Disorders
Association.
Theres a stereotype of The
College Woman, said Bailey
Bosc, a senior from Mission.
As soon as they get to cam-
pus, she said, women can feel like
theyre expected to do certain
things.
Youre supposed to wear this,
supposed to look like this, sup-
posed to hang around these peo-
ple, she said.
Often these body-images are
distorted, Zuk said.
Their boyfriends like them bet-
ter than they like themselves, Zuk
said about a lot of college-aged
women. And they dont believe
it. Its sad.
Zuk said that is the reason she
is trying to help the self-esteem of
women by making beautiful pic-
tures with their real bodies.
It has to start with you liking
yourself, Zuk said. You cant get
healthy from an unhealthy per-
spective.
Dozens of women even
Zuks 87-year-old mother have
their pictures on Bombshells
Facebook page. Its apparent from
the Facebook comments that
Bombshell isnt a company with
customers so much as a club with
converts.
Sam Hamm, who graduated
from the University in May, got
her picture taken at Bombshell,
along with her mother and her
little sister, who is still in high
school.
One part of the photo shoot was
designed around Hamms mothers
favorite show, Bewitched, and
featured the girls riding brooms in
front of a yellow moon.
I was laughing the whole time I
was at the studio, she said. I was
actually wondering if Id have a
good, serious picture.
Hamm also wanted something
more provocative, so she has
another picture posed in front of
a bubbling bathtub with a towel
held over her chest and hands to
an agape mouth, as though shes
just found somebody peeking at
her.
They cater to what youre com-
fortable with, she said.
Even though some of the pic-
tures are seductive, Zuk said the
goal is to keep them within good
taste. Classy, tasteful, just differ-
ent were not what you see in
the mainstream media, she said.
Its obviously working. The stu-
dio opened on May 16, doesnt do
advertising right now and, yet, is
booked for two or three weeks in
advance.
Zuk said the customers were the
companys best advertisements.
Even Angermuller Bombshell
Girl No. 63 took a job at the
studio two weeks ago, answering
calls and emails.
Bombshell also takes mens pic-
tures couples pictures and chil-
drens pictures, all using the same
digitally painted technology.
Edited by Emily McCoy
THE PRocESS
Carol Ann Zuk and photographer John Gladman work together
to make a picture thats half photography, half art. A woman
comes in, gets her hair done but no makeup besides lipstick
and models for a vintage 1940s style pin-up.
Then Gladman uses a computer to paint, a process that takes
him at least two hours. He paints makeup on the woman, and
paints the whole picture in a style thats soft and warm, just like
a vintage pinup. Hes been digitally painting for 15 years.
Zuk said only a couple of companies nationwide used the
painted efect for the vintage pinup look, and bombshell was
the only one she knew that painted makeup on.

Flu (continued from 1A)
health center has only given about
600 doses.
Patricia Denning, the chief of
staff at Watkins, credited the phe-
nomenon to flu fatigue. She said
during the last few years, the gener-
al public had been very concerned
about a worldwide influenza out-
break but the results had been less
devastating than predicted.
I think more people are taking
a sigh of relief and kind of letting
their guard down, Denning said.
The influenza virus, however,
is still around in Kansas. As of
yesterday, there were two cases
statewide, both of which affected
college-aged individuals. Quinlan
said it was likely that the vaccine
could have prevented them.
She also said that it was impor-
tant for college students to get vac-
cinated if they didnt want to miss
school or work.
Its not like the common cold
where you can push yourself
through, Quinlan said. Youre
truly in bed, and its not just for a
day. It can be three days at least and
up to seven.
Julian Bettoni, a junior from
Costa Rica, said he gets a flu shot
every year.
My dad always tells me, Get
your flu shot, Bettoni said. Its
like a family tradition.
Bettoni said that during winter
break, he planned to visit family in
South Carolina and Florida, and he
didnt want the flu to interfere with
his holiday traveling.
Quinlan said if students missed
this years flu clinics, they could
always make an appointment any-
time for a vaccination at Watkins.
The center will have vaccines avail-
able for $15 until the end of the
school year.
For those who havent gotten
a flu shot yet, Quinlan gave this
advice:
Dont wait any longer. Just get
it.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
WATFORD, England There
was a break in the action the
cast and crew of Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows were milling
about waiting for the next set-up
on a summer day here in 2009
and Daniel Radcliffe sat back in
his seat and admired the life of a
fugitive. Everybody is after us, the
actor said of his on-screen persona,
Harry Potter, and his partners in
magic. Were to the point in the
story where its a lot of action and
were on the run. And thats bril-
liant.
When the first part of the two-
part Harry Potter franchise finale
reaches theaters on Nov. 19, it will
do so without one of the series sig-
nature characters. But the missing
star is not a wizard, Muggle, goblin
or troll, its a place. The seventh
film is the first without any notable
screen time spent inside the stone
corridors of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, the castle
that has become synonymous with
the magical epic.
The absence of the ancient
academy from the seventh movie,
according to producer David
Heyman, informs the texture and
rhythm of the franchises penulti-
mate installment. The film is very
much a road-trip adventure with
the three main characters played
by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint
and Emma Watson in fugitive
mode and preparing for the final
showdown with Lord Voldemort,
portrayed with reptilian rasp by
Ralph Fiennes.
It gives this film a very different
feel to be away from Hogwarts,
Heyman said. The main charac-
ters Harry, Ron and Hermione
are on the run and, yes, they do
go to some magical places, like the
Ministry of Magic, but a lot of the
film is set in a quite naturalistic set-
ting, and that makes it feel very real
and very human. Theres plenty of
magic, of course, but its set against
a very real context.
It feels real, gritty at times and
beautiful at other
times.
Radcliffe said
treading past
the stony floors
of the Hogwarts
set in Watford
energized the
cast during the
production of
the seventh and
eighth films,
which were
made together in a shoot that began
in February 2009 and did not wrap
until mid-June of this year.
This movie just looks different
than the other ones. Weve spent
so much time at Hogwarts that it
makes it fresh to go somewhere
new on screen.
When last we left the orphaned
wizard at the end of 2009s Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,
he was mourning Hogwarts head-
master Albus Dumbledore (Michael
Gambon), who had been cut down
by Severus Snape (Alan Rickman).
The forces of Voldemort were
ascending, and the gathering dark-
ness was far removed from the tone
and twinkle of the first films in a
franchise that has pulled in more
than $5.3 billion in worldwide box
office.
The seventh film has dramatic
showdowns with Voldemorts cult,
the Death Eaters, and a startling
supernatural heist job that includes
a dragon as the
untamed get-
away vehicle.
But Heyman
said some of the
most compel-
ling sequences
are marked by
emotional ten-
sion and smoth-
ering suspense.
One thing
I love about
the films of (director) David Yates
is that you really feel the human
element, Heyman said. Theres a
real truthfulness, and going out on
the road with this seventh film, it
makes it feel just much more real.

Conan attracts more viewers
than other late-night shows
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES The good
news for Conan OBrien is that
his talk-show premiere on TBS
Monday night blew away all rivals
in the ratings, including Jon Stewart
and even the man who took his
place at NBC, Jay Leno.
The bad news is that OBriens
hard work is just beginning.
Conan rounded up 4.2 million
total viewers, according to early
data from the Nielsen Co. That
soared straight past NBCs Tonight
Show with Jay Leno (3.5 million)
and CBS Late Show With David
Letterman (3.4 million), both of
which start at 11:35 p.m. Perhaps of
more interest to late-night connois-
seurs, however, was that in head-to-
head competition during his hour-
long time slot, Conan put a seri-
ous dent in the Comedy Central
power block of The Daily Show
with Jon Stewart (1.3 million) and
The Colbert Report (1 million).
Last Monday, Daily Show deliv-
ered 1.9 million viewers.
The best news of all for TBS?
The youth of the Conan audience,
which makes it a relatively easy sell
for advertisers. The median age of
the OBrien viewer was 30, which is
music to a marketers ear. By com-
parison, the comparable figure for
Daily Show was 38. For Tonight,
it was a relatively ancient 59. For
Letterman, it was 53. A more
stark illustration of the generational
dynamics among the various talk
shows cannot be found.
The bad part for OBrien, though,
is that premieres, especially of talk
shows, generally tell us very little.
Most talk shows with big-name
hosts attached generate very high
numbers at first. Sometimes, these
programs fizzle out over the ensuing
months as novelty and viewer curi-
osity wane. That is what happened
with Lenos disastrous prime-time
talk show for NBC. OBriens real
performance, therefore, wont be
known for weeks or months.
But for now, OBriens decision to
exit NBC rather than accept a post-
Leno downgrade to the wee hours
is looking very smart.

Actor has great roles
with fewer hassles
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Patrick Wilson is recognized
by maybe 20 percent of movie
goers and 100 percent of movie
casting directors.
He says he can live with that.
As an actor its wonderful,
says Wilson, wholl be seen
next in the romantic com-
edy Morning Glory opposite
Rachel McAdams, Harrison
Ford and Diane Keaton.
Ive never yet been typecast.
I get to play all sorts of things,
he said in a recent phone con-
versation from his New York
home.
Indeed, a look at Wilsons
resume suggests he can do just
about anything.
He made his on-screen debut
as a gay Mormon in HBOs
Angels in America, then played
William Travis in Disneys his-
toric epic The Alamo.
He sang his way through the
role of Raoul in the filmed ver-
sion of The Phantom of the
Opera, played a serial killer
in Hard Candy, was a stay-
at-home suburban dad who
has an affair with a neighbor
in Little Children and was a
costumed vigilante with impo-
tence issues in the superhero
epic Watchmen.
I get great roles and few of
the hassles, Wilson says.
He recalled a recent meeting
with a realtor.
She says, Hey, I know you.
Ive seen you before.
I say, Yeah, well, Im an
actor.
And she says, No, thats not
it. I think Ive seen you at my
gym.
I get a lot of that.
Wilson says he didnt get into
acting with a dream of becom-
ing a household name.
I grew up singing in my
mothers church choir, but as
a kid I never really studied
drama. I did musicals in high
school, but I never dreamed
Id be singing and dancing on
Broadway.
I just knew I wanted to act
wherever I could. And because
of my training I look at musicals
the same way I look at Chekhov.
Ive never looked at any aspect
of the business as selling out, as
being beneath me.
After graduating from
Carnegie Mellon University, the
Virginia native went to the Big
Apple, where he spent almost a
decade on stage before making
the leap to the screen. Working
with pros like Mike Nichols, Al
Pacino and Meryl Streep made
the transition easier, he says.
I teach a master class at my
alma mater and Ive found that
theater actors are scared of film
because they hear they have to
be smaller. But its not about
being small. Its about being
open.

Opposition to reform

Wow, you figured it out!! People will do whatever they want and
mix whatever they want in order to get trashed. You can ban Four \
Loko, but something else will take its place or people will stick with
vodka and Red Bull or Jager and Red Bull. Its not hard to mix your
own energy drink + alcohol cocktail.
zomgzomg in response to Unreasonable to single out Four
Loko on Nov. 9.
KU is definitely the most intellectually and ethically questionable
place I have ever had the misfortune to experience. Like all south-
ern-influenced places, only even more so than peer institutions
that are more highly ranked, KU is rife with dishonest conflicts-of-
interest that pull the best scholars down and do not allow decency
and competence to survive and thrive. The University needs to get
in step with the 21st century and hold itself accountable instead of
resorting to viciously and illegally bullying those who care about
doing the right thing.
Denver in response to KU in danger of losing research cred-
ibility on Nov. 8.
Maybe KU lost focus when it became a University of Phoenix-
knock-off diploma mill. Too many students. Too many
C-students. They crowd out thought, the ability to speak to pro-
fessors and change the Universitys goal from knowledge genera-
tion to tuition generation. Lose the fat, KU.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
A
few people have labeled
me a greedy Republican
for opposing Obamacare
and not wanting to help people in
need.
According to this popular dem-
ocrat ideology, Republicans only
are concerned with their money
and big business. Tey are seen as
being evil people in general. Tis
ideology is misleading, and in my
opinion, completely wrong.
Now, Im not saying that no
Republicans are greedy. What Im
really saying is that the generaliza-
tion is a misconception that needs
to be looked at in a diferent light.
An average American named
Joe has a family with two kids.
Lets pretend that Joe has started
up a new business. He has worked
for countless hours of every day
for the past four years. Finally, he
begins to see more and more proft
in his company.
Ive already shown in previous
articles that the government inef-
fciently handles money and turns
everything it touches into debt.
To pay for these government pro-
grams, Joe will have no choice but
to give up his money for some-
thing he doesnt want through
increased taxes. He has a family to
feed and needs this extra money to
support them.
Another average American
named Bill started his own com-
pany about 30 years ago. His busi-
ness started of very similarly to
Joes. Trough perseverance and
very difcult work, the company
was able to expand. Now, his
company has locations all over
the country. Naturally, Bill accu-
mulated wealth. With increasing
government programs, Bill will
also have no choice but to give
up his money for something he
doesnt want.
Now, are Joe and Bill greedy
Republicans for not wanting to
give up their money? Absolutely
not. Joe wants to save up as much
money as he can so he can provide
for his family. He just wants to
provide for his family frst, and
then help out others if he still can.
Tis isnt being greedy at all.
Being wealthy, Bill should surely
be able to give up some of his
money. Holding on to your wealth
to support whats best for you is
not being greedy. To be frank,
I feel that the government can
be greedy by taking Joe or Bills
money. Tese people worked very
hard for it and want to keep it.
Nobody should be forced to
give his or her money away for
anything. Instead, it should be that
persons choice.
Part of the engineering building
where I study wouldnt be there
today without the help of private
donations. Tese donations were
made by that persons choice alone
for the purpose of helping educate
future engineers.
No one should be forced to
spend money on anything, and
they are not greedy for thinking
that.

T
hroughout history, mens
wardrobes have consisted
of the same types of gar-
ments. Womens fashion is always
changing, but weve always
seemed to steal looks from men.
While searching through the
racks at vintage and second-hand
shops, Ive realized I dont fnd
some of todays trends on the
womens racks, but on the mens
side. Its easy to save money while
shopping for popular looks, like
oversized sweaters and masculine
pants, by adapting mens clothes
to create a powerful and femi-
nine wardrobe.
One mans shirt is a womans
dress
Whenever I go to a vintage
shop, my frst stop is the mens
button-up shirts, also known
as Oxfords. Tese shirts work
for women as well, and you can
usually fnd them in unique
colors and prints. A mens small
or medium can usually be worn
as a womens shirt, but I prefer
XL and XXL. A very oversized
mens button-up, belted, can be
worn as a dress when paired with
leggings or tights. A belt around
your waist over a mens shirt will
feminize the look.
Slacks for men, high-waisted
pants for women
When looking for an inex-
pensive pair of edgy dress pants,
go to a consignment shop and
try on a pair of mens slacks. A
nice pair of new, high-waisted
pants sell for $20 or more, but a
vintage pair of mens pants sell at
Goodwill or Savers for less than
$10. Te dropped crotch design
of mens pants makes room for
women to wear around the top
of their waists, and because you
wear them higher, the length
should be right. Make this look
even edgier by fnding a pair
thats pleated at the top. Wear
with tucked-in shirt, belt and a
masculine pair of fats.
Fitted blazers and oversized
sweaters
Vintage blazers are difcult
to fnd in a modern, cropped ft
on women or mens sides of the
store. If you want a cheap blazer,
look in the boys section. Little
boys dress jackets in bigger sizes
will ft your torso. Te sleeves
will trendily end just below your
elbows or three-quarters down
your arm. Complete the look by
wearing this hip jacket over a
mens button-up shirt and a pair
of matching skinny pants and
boots.
Everyone should own an
oversized sweater because theyre
stylish and cozy. For a dressier
look, wear a large mens button-
up cardigan with a v-neck tee
and jeans. For a comfortable and
warm outft, wear a big pull-
over with leggings. Like shirts,
oversized sweaters can also be
worn as dresses by belting them.
If youre wearing a sweater or
shirt with leggings, make sure its
long enough to cover your rear
and front to hide embarrassing
wedgies and camel toe.
Mens accessories
Finish of your menswear in-
spired look with some masculine
accessories like a leather mens
messenger bag or an oversized
watch. Buy old ties and wear
them as belts, headbands, or
even in the traditional fashion.
Vintage mens dress shoes come
in interesting styles and smaller
sizes can be worn by women with
bigger feet.
Femenized mens fashion gives
an outft a classic, powerful look
that says I mean business but
can still be sexy and stylish.

Its a sad day for music lovers.
A huge force in the industry has
fallen.
Like so many more before it,
and afer years of investigation, fle
sharing and peer-to-peer network
LimeWire has been ordered to be
shut down afer a ruling last week
by a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood
of New York issued the permanent
injunction, stating LimeWire must
disable the searching, download-
ing, uploading, fle trading, and/or
fle distribution functionality of
its website.
Te site must also inform its
workers, investors and customers
of the injunction as well as fle
a progress report to Wood within
14 days to make sure all conditions
are being met.
When visiting LimeWires
homepage, I was met with the fol-
lowing notice.
Tis is an ofcial notice that
LimeWire is under a court-ordered
injunction to stop distributing
and supporting its fle-sharing
sofware. Downloading or shar-
ing copyrighted content without
authorization is illegal.
Te Recording Industry As-
sociation of America said in a
statement the injunction will start
to unwind the massive piracy ma-
chine that LimeWire and [founder
and Chairman Mark] Gorton used
to enrich themselves immensely,
according to Te New York Times.
Tis move follows the pattern
of other popular peer-to-peer sites
such as Napster, Grokster and Ka-
zaa being sued and eventually shut
down because of fle sharing.
Te RIAA can make statements
all it wants about how it will start
to end piracy with this new injunc-
tion, but its statement is about as
similar as people claiming they
are going to end world hunger by
sending one french fry to each
starving person in the world.
Sure it helps for now, but soon
everyone will be starving again.
LimeWire formed in 2000, one
year before Napster easily the
most recognized fle sharing site
received its injunction to shut
down in 2001.
When one falls, another will
rise.
Even though LimeWire received
its injunction Tuesday, that doesnt
mean the case is necessarily over.
LimeWire chief executive
George Searle said the injunction
only applied to LimeWires fle-
sharing product. Our company
remains open for business, Searle
explains.
He also says the company is
deeply committed to working with
the music industry.
LimeWire and the RIAA will ap-
pear before Judge Wood in January
to begin arguments on damages
LimeWire will pay.
When Kazaa was shut down,
a settlement was reached at $100
million.
Tat would buy a lot of CDs.
While its obvious to understand
why the RIAA is coming down so
hard on these sites users are ef-
fectively stealing music it seems
as if their struggle is futile.
Similarly, back in the early to
mid 2000s, when teenagers and
housewives were being sued for lu-
dicrous amounts of money for the
handful of songs they downloaded
illegally to help prove some point,
it quickly ended because it became
too expensive and time-consuming
to handle all of those lawsuits.
If the RIAA plans to bring down
every single fle-sharing website, it
has a lot of work to do.
Knowing how expensive
lawsuits are, Id be surprised if
the RIAA didnt start losing more
money than it made on its quest to
bring down online piracy.
I personally quit using
LimeWire about a year ago and
moved onto BitTorrent and Pirate
Bay (another site dealing with legal
issues).
No matter how many of these
sites are shut down, others will
form to take their place. Its just
a never-ending cycle the music
industry will have to learn to
understand.
Besides, what was it we learned
in elementary school growing up?
Sharing is caring it can be
fun!

releford just might have won himself a
starting spot for the teams Friday opener with
12 points and three rebounds in a relatively
error free performance. He has the potential to
be a lockdown defender, which always has a
place on a bill Self team. If he can show that last
nights 5-for-6 performance wasnt a fuke, the
starting role could be his for the season.

Morningstar
Senior guard Brady Morningstar
If releford did claim a starting spot, it very
likely could have been Morningstars that he
took. The senior guard hit just two of seven
shots and missed all three of his three-pointers
from outside, two of which were wide open
looks. Morningstar is still solid defensively, but
his lack of ofensive production, which led to
reduced playing time late last season, reared its
head once again Tuesday.

Tyshawn Taylor has had a rela-
tively clean exhibition season
just three turnovers. The rest of the
team, however, hasnt.
The Jayhawks, as a team, had 12
turnovers against Washburn on Nov.
2 and 16 last night in Kansas 90-59
victory against Emporia State.
Travis Releford had only two
turnovers in 23 minutes, but neither
he nor Taylor are true point guards:
someone this team is lacking and
someone coach Self wants.
We have a whole bunch of
combo guards, which is good, but I
really wish somebody that would be
a consistent handler back there, Self
said in press conference Monday.
We got too many guys thinking
that they need to be the one to make
the play or make the pass to finish
the play as opposed to being a ball
mover.
Self was happy with his teams
defense, but thinks that consistency
will come with repetition and play-
ing time.
Sophomore guard Travis Releford
believes the defense will improve.
Theres a lot of stuff we need to
work on, Releford said. Its the first
two games, but itll change.
The Jayhawks fouled 17 times in
both exhibition games but Self isnt
worried.
Seventeen really is not a bad
number for us, Self said. If you
go back to past history we foul
a lot.
Self would like to keep teams
under 10 fouls per half, so his team
has done a good job by the way
they play.
He also pointed out that some
of the fouls came from defending
breakaway layups and offensive
fouls.
Nine of the
fouls Tuesday
came from two
players: junior
forward Markieff
Morris (four)
and senior guard
Mario Little
(five). Markieff
is projected to be
a starter. Little,
who fouled out,
is in the contention for one of the
starting spots.
Self said Little fouling out isnt a
big deal. Some of the fouls came on
breakaway layups. Little isnt aggres-
sive like he should be, according
to Self, and he
is too little in
stature to be
the most physi-
cal guy on the
floor.
What is of
concern is foul-
ing after turning
the ball over and
fouling 90-feet
away from the
basket.
Those are the things youve got
to eliminate, Self said.

did.
He did have a couple of really
nice blocks, Self said, Especially
when he gets a running start. Then
hes really good from the help side
coming over and blocking shots.
Robinson proved he could be
that shot blocker last night, with
four blocks adding to his 12 points
and 10 rebounds.
His athleticism is palpable.
When he shoots free-throws, his
arms look like
those of Dwight
Howard, the
Orlando Magic
center. This
is built. Sure,
Robinson
doesnt have
the height to
dominate like
Howard does,
but his athleti-
cism is sure to change some games
this year.
Releford scored a match-
ing twelve points last night and,
according to Robinson, he might
be the real athlete that will be
able swing momentums in future
games.
Ill say Travis is a better athlete
than me, Robinson said. Travis
is a freak.
Sadly, the freaky depth at
the guard position may engulf
Relefords spotlight like a black
hole. However, Self was wholly
impressed with his performance
as a starter.
Hes a good athlete and gives
us good ener-
gy, Self said
after the game.
The maybe,
one-time start-
ing line-up
with Releford
and Robinson
has come and
gone. But
after 23 qual-
ity minutes by
both players, look for shorter, but
just as athletic, minutes when the
regular season starts on Friday.

Jayhawks take on Aggies in tough Reed Arena
By Ian CummIngs
icummings@kansan.com
Kansas has a tough game wait-
ing for it today in Texas. The
Jayhawks are in College Station for
a rematch against the Texas A&M
Aggies, who they topped in a five-
setter in Lawrence on Sept. 18. But
Kansas has never won a match at
College Station.
Junior setter Nicole Tate has
faced the Aggies both at home and
away and knows what her team is
up against.
Its going to be another tough
game, Tate said. We have to come
out just fighting, and hopefully we
end up on top.
Kansas (15-11, 6-9 Big 12)
swept Colorado in Lawrence on
Saturday, but has an unfavorable
record (2-6) in away games. A
victory against Texas A&M would
move Kansas up at least one spot
in the Big 12 standings.
TExAS A&M
The Aggies (12-12, 6-8 Big 12)
dropped a five-setter to Baylor
on Saturday in Waco, Texas,
snapping a three-match winning
streak. Baylor outperformed A&M
on offense despite a remarkable,
27-point performance by junior
Kelsey Black, who leads the team
with a 4.2 kills per set average. She
recorded her 13th double-double
of the season by adding 16 digs.
Tate said Black was a major
player for A&M.
She has a really good arm
swing, she said. We have to pay
attention to her a lot, when shes
in the front and the back row. So
thats definitely going to be a match
key, is to keep her contained.
Sophomore Lindsey Miller fol-
lows Black in kills with 193 on the
season and 11 in the match against
Baylor. She contributed seven of
the Aggies 12 blocks on Saturday,
but her team was still outdone by
the Bears, who had 13.
The Aggies, as a team, can play a
well-rounded defense. Sophomore
Tori Mellinger who doubles as
libero and outside hitter con-
tributed 20 digs on Saturday, fol-
lowed by juniors Chelsea Ringel
and Elise Hendrickson with 15
and 14, respectively. In addition,
Aggie setter Allie Sawatzky was
named Big 12 Rookie of the Week
in September.
Tate said the Reed Arenas repu-
tation as a difficult environment
stemmed in part from Texas A&Ms
yell leaders, who sport overalls and
buzz cuts. She said they had a rep-
ertoire of unconventional cheers
with which to draw the fans into
the game.
Theyre just funny to look at,
thats all, Tate said. Just another
gym.
KANSAS
Senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington continues to lead the
Jayhawks offense. Garlington is
sixth in the conference, averaging
3.54 kills per set with a team-best
.423 hitting percentage.
On defense, freshman libero
Brianne Riley returned to the start-
ing lineup on Oct. 27, leading the
team in digs in three of the past
four matches. She and the Jayhawks
will have their work cut out for
them in the back court, as the
Aggies lead the Big 12 with 1.4 aces
per set.
Kansas has seen outstanding
production from the middle block-
ers. Sophomore middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree scored eight kills
with no errors on Saturday for an
efficiency of .571 and led the team
with five blocks. Redshirt freshman
Caroline Jarmoc leads the team
with 88 blocks this season. In addi-
tion, Kansas recorded 11 blocks in
an exceptional effort on Saturday
against Colorado.
Also on Saturday, Kansas
hit for an efficiency of just over
.200. Coach Ray Bechard said the
Jayhawks would have to do better
at College Station.
Weve got to get better in our
side out, Bechard said. The first
contact with our serve receivers has
got to get better.
He said that if the Jayhawks did
that, their hitting efficiency would
improve and they would have a
chance to win.

BIg 12 FOOTBALL
assOCIaTED PREss
COLUMBIA, Mo. Its been a
tough couple of weeks for Blaine
Gabbert. The Missouri quarter-
back insists hes fine and says sup-
port from the coaching staff has
not wavered.
Gabbert had a career-worst 95
yards passing last week in a 24-17
loss at Texas Tech, the No. 20
Tigers second straight setback
following a 7-0 start. He said his
troubles had nothing to do with
the previous game, when he was
sacked six times and appeared
rattled at Nebraska.
He blamed reporters for want-
ing him benched in favor of fresh-
man James Franklin.
I think you guys are the ones
that wanted me pulled, Gabbert
said this week. Everyone on my
team wanted me out there and I
wanted to be out there. You guys
opinions on who should get yanked
really doesnt matter to us at all.
Missouris once prolific offense
is sinking fast, totaling 34 points
the last two games, and is a pedes-
trian seventh in the Big 12 in total
offense at 407.8 yards per game.
Gabbert has only 12 touchdown
passes in nine games.
Last year, his first as the starter,
Gabbert had 24 touchdown passes
in 13 games.
Coach Gary Pinkel wont pin
the blame for the two-week tumble
on his junior quarterback, saying
it was more a case of the entire
offense being out of sync.
There are a lot of variables out
there and hes not perfect, Pinkel
said. You look at the stats in the
NFL and theres some great play-
ers, but they arent going to have a
perfect game every week.
So Gabberts job is in no dan-
ger this week in the home finale
against Kansas State (6-3, 3-3 Big
12). Missouri (7-2, 3-2) is 5-0 at
home, one win away from its first
perfect home schedule since 2003.
Franklin also had offers from
Nebraska, Oregon, Oklahoma
State, TCU and Kansas State. Hes
appeared in six games, going 11 for
14 for 106 yards and a touchdown,
and has run for two scores.
Missouri ofense is lagging,
and some blame quarterback
VOLLEYBALL
Nebraska snaps to
RB with Wildcat
rex burkhead found a silver
lining in nebraskas quarter-
back injury problems.
The sophomore running
back relived his short-lived
high school quarterback
glory days taking snaps in the
wildcat formation against Iowa
state last week.
Its fun being back there.
you kind of feel like the leader
of the team at the time, I guess
you could say, burkhead said.
It feels like playing pickup
football as the quarterback.
Its fun having the ball in your
hands like that.
burkhead ran for a career-
high 129 yards and two touch-
downs in the 31-30 overtime
win over the cyclones. About
three-fourths of his 20 carries
came on runs out of the wild-
cat, a single-wing formation
with the snap going directly
to a running back lined up in
a shotgun position. The player
then has the option to hand
of, run or pass.
To be able to line up and
do all that, you have to have an
understanding of what youre
trying to accomplish and be
able to take charge, coach bo
Pelini said Tuesday. Those are
all things that are strengths of
rex. Hes confdent, hes a take-
charge guy. I think he fts that
role real well.
The cornhuskers ran burk-
head out of the wildcat for the
frst time in last years Holiday
bowl win over Arizona. They
didnt use the formation again
until the Iowa state game.
cody Green started at quar-
terback because of injuries to
Taylor martinez and Zac Lee.
ofensive coordinator shawn
Watson said he put burkhead
in the wildcat as a way to mini-
mize the risk of injury to Green.
martinez is expected to play
against kansas on saturday.

TriViA oF THe DAY
Q: What is the nations longest,
uninterrupted series in NCAA
football?
A: Kansas versus Nebraska,
which will have matchup No.
105 on Saturday.
KU Athletics
K
ansas finally won one. The stands
were about halfway empty when it
happened, but it was what students
were talking about for the next few days.
And that is a good sign for Turner Gill.
Gill took a job where he was expected
to win. His predecessor brought KU to
the Orange Bowl. And when the guy who
hired him took an early exit, its probably
safe to say that Gill was a little worried.
For now Gill can take that sigh of relief.
This win, even if it is against the worst
team in the Big 12, should also win Gill
some time.
Hes also won himself a little support
from the fans. When I walked to class on
Monday, phrases such as I cant believe I
left were echoing through the hallway.
BelieVing is ACHieVing
More than anything else, this win signi-
fies a revival of faith in Gill and his mantra
that pure belief might be enough to over-
come any obstacle. I know that there are
even students thinking, way in the back
of their minds, Wouldnt it be great if we
beat Nebraska?
If Gill has found some magic formula
and Im not saying he has this will
be the game that turned his team around.
Just as the Colorado game last year pushed
Kansas into a losing spiral, this Colorado
game could be the one that hurdles
Kansas to success. If you listen to him and
the players you can tell they believe that
they can do anything, but then again, what
are they supposed to say? However, crazier
things have happened.
Big BroTHer exAMple
Is this Kansas Chiefs-Broncos game, an
inconsequential game toward the end of
the season foreshadowing a better follow-
ing fall? I think Gill and his staff would
hope so.
Despite their tough losses this season,
the Chiefs are winning games and look
like they have a pretty good shot at the
playoffs. No one really had faith in their
abilities. I was at training camp talking to
the fans and I dont think anyone expected
the Chiefs level of success. Maybe Kansas
can somehow pull off that kind of turn-
around.
reAlisM
This game will not get Kansas into a
bowl game. It probably wont be the begin-
ning of any great winning streak, because
they have Nebraska, Oklahoma State and
Missouri lined up for the rest of the sea-
son. But it does give the team a little jolt of
self-confidence.
It did distract the Kansas faithful from
basketball, even if it was just for 11 min-
utes of the football game.

MANHATTAN This is
quite a change for Kansas State,
and quite welcome.
Instead of setting out to prove
all the experts wrong, as theyve
been doing for about 20 lack-
luster years, these Wildcats want
fervently to show they are right.
Right to say senior point guard
Jacob Pullen is All-America tim-
ber. Right to predict Kansas State
will be the best team in the Big
12. And correct in proclaiming
that Frank Martins program has
turned the corner, and a once-
proud basketball school has
rejoined the elite.
Were excited. Weve made
progress every year weve been
here, said Martin, whose
Wildcats have their highest-ever
preseason ranking at No. 3. We
look forward to trying to do the
same this year.
Do not be fooled into thinking
the loss of three starters from an
Elite Eight squad will necessarily
signal a downturn. Along with
Pullen, a high-scoring playmaker
also known for his leadership, the
Wildcats return 6-foot-8 Curtis
Kelly, who averaged almost 12
points and seven rebounds per
game last year, and highly touted
6-foot-9 sophomore Wally Judge.
Judges somewhat disappoint-
ing freshman season may have
been due to a congenital spinal
condition which was corrected in
surgery over the summer.
Added to the mix are expe-
rienced, accomplished backups
such as 6-foot-7 Jamar Samuels,
and a 6-foot-10 wide-body trans-
fer named Freddy Asprilla who
will provide the inside muscle to
a team that fell one win shy of last
years Final Four.
Also adding to Kansas States
optimism is the apparent emer-
gence of Rodney McGruder, a
6-foot-5 sophomore shooting
guard who made all five of his
3-point attempts and scored 18
points in an exhibition game.
Martin insists hes not worried
that great expectations will put a
drag on his team. The top rung of
the ladder is what hes been work-
ing toward since taking over from
Bob Huggins in 2006.
Its all about winning, he said.
But the importance should be on
all the things that happen before
the game. The experiences, the
conversations, the practice time,
the preparation, the weight room
sessions. Everything that takes
place before the game. You either
prepare to go win that game or
you dont.
Pullen has a pithy way of sum-
ming up the Wildcats.
Were legit, he said.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Scoop
Jardine, James Southerland and
Dion Waiters each had 13 points and
No. 10 Syracuse hit 11 of 16 from
beyond the arc to beat Division II Le
Moyne 91-48 in an exhibition game
on Tuesday night.
It was the second and final tuneup
for the Orange, who open the season
at home against Northern Iowa on
Friday night, and it atoned for an
embarrassing preseason loss a year
ago to the Dolphins.
Chris Johnson led Le Moyne with
23 points and Nate Champion had
nine.
Kris Joseph had 12 for Syracuse,
and Brandon Triche and Mookie
Jones each had nine.
Johnson, Le Moynes leading
returning scorer, hit the game-win-
ning 3 in the closing seconds that
beat the Orange 82-79 a year ago.
There was no chance of anything like
that happening again on this night.
Despite a disciplined performance
by the Dolphins, who returned two
starters from last seasons squad that
went 18-10, Syracuse assumed con-
trol with a barrage of 3-pointers in
the first half.
Joseph, Southerland, and Jones
each hit two from beyond the arc as
Syracuse made 6 of 10.
After Johnsons 3 from the right
corner moved Le Moyne within
27-21 with 6:57 left, Southerland
swished a 3 from the left side and
Jones hit another from the left cor-
ner to key a 10-0 run.
Southerlands second 3 made
it 40-23 with 1:48 left as Syracuse
gained a 41-25 halftime lead.
The Orange opened the second
half with a 14-0 spurt. Fab Melos
block down low sent the Orange on
a fast break that Triche finished with
a layup and Jardine set up Joseph for
a two-handed slam dunk for a 55-25
lead at 16:36.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim start-
ed the same five as he did a week ago
in the Oranges first preseason game:
Jardine, Rick Jackson, Joseph, Triche,
and the 7-foot Melo at center.
It was the first and only exhibi-
tion game for the Dolphins, who
host Queens in their regular-sea-
son opener on Saturday. Le Moyne
was picked to finish 13th in the
Northeast-10 Conference in the pre-
season coaches poll.
Syracuse and Le Moyne have
played six times during the regu-
lar season with the Orange winning
all six at home. Following the loss,
Syracuse opened the season with 13
straight victories and made it to No.
1 in the Top 25 by seasons end.

After a perfect second-half per-
formance en route to his teams
stunning 52-45 upset of Colorado
last Saturday, junior quarterback
Quinn Mecham received ample
praise from offensive coordinator
Chuck Long.
Hes as unflappable a quarter-
back as Ive ever coached, Long
said at Tuesdays press conference.
Long has seen some great quar-
terbacks in his coaching career,
including Heisman Trophy winner
Jason White in 2004. After Mechams
two games as the Jayhawks starting
quarterback, Long notices some-
thing different with this quarter-
back. Mecham will get his third
start on Saturday against Nebraska.
Hes played within himself and
managed the game as good as any
guy Ive been around, Long said.
After throwing two interceptions
in the middle of a poor first half
Saturday, Mecham corrected his
mistakes and was a perfect 13-13 in
the second half of play.
Long noted that Mechams inter-
ceptions were physical and not
mental mistakes.
All his reads were perfect, Long
said. His interceptions were just
physical errors. I always tell guys
after mistakes like that, just physical
mistakes, to stay with your reads
and it will come right back to you.
On both of Mechams first half
interceptions, he had a receiver
open but was unable to get the
ball to him, underthrowing his man
both times.
Since arriving in Lawrence
last winter, the biggest knock on
Mecham has been his arm strength.
Coaches have said that he is prob-
ably the most accurate Kansas quar-
terback, but he hasnt been able to
make all the throws necessary, a
major reason he was buried on the
depth chart after spring practices.
During his two years at Snow
Junior College in Utah, Mecham
threw for 3,091 yards and 40 touch-
downs, but he came to Lawrence
weighing only 200 pounds. Hes now
at 210 pounds according to coaches,
and improving his arm strength has
been a focus since December and
throughout the season.
Even in the 28-16 loss to Iowa
State two weeks ago, Mecham led
the offense on an 80-yard touch-
down drive in the final minutes, and
Long noticed the confidence his
offense began to show. He said that
carried over to the next week.
I believe that two minute drill
against Iowa State (was a turning
point), Long said. Ive seen that
happen when you finish the game
on a positive note and that kicks
into the next week. And I believe
thats where it all started for this
offense.
It certainly didnt carry over to
the first half against Colorado, but
whatever confidence the offense
gained in Ames most definitely
showed up in the second half, and
the fourth quarter especially.
The offensive confidence will
have to show up this Saturday if the
Jayhawks want to defeat Nebraska.
The Cornhusker defense is ranked
21st in the nation in scoring defense,
only giving up 19 points per game.
The famed Blackshirts defense
wont allow Mecham to lead anoth-
er epic comeback if the Jayhawk
offense fails to show up for another
first half.

Monday afternoon, Coach Bill
Self wished for a lead guard.
Tuesday, during the Jayhawks
90-59 scorching of the Emporia
State Hornets, he may have found
one in the form of junior guard
Tyshawn Taylor. For the second
time in the exhibition season,
Taylor showed much more con-
trol than in his past two years in a
Kansas uniform.
Taylor, who was infuriating
for Self and fans alike with his
inconsistent play in an up-
and-down sophomore year,
has done, so far, exactly what
Self said he expected at Big
12 media days.
Be up.
He was impressive
Tuesday night, finishing
with six assists, one shy
of his career high, and 10
points on 3-of-5 shooting.
A week ago, he was the Jayhawks
second-leading scorer with 12
points and had three assists to
zero turnovers.
He made some great plays,
Self said.
Of course, with the good, comes
the bad especially in the exhi-
bition season. Taylor had three of
the Jayhawks 15 turnovers on his
otherwise excellent night.
He can also throw it out of
bounds under no pressure, too,
by being careless, Self said.
Taylor has sort of become
the point guard by default since
Kansas winningest player of all
time, Sherron Collins, graduated
last May and signed a contract
with the NBAs Charlotte Bobcats.
Taylor wont be the offensive force
Collins was not many players
can be but the 15.5 points per
game Collins averaged last year
will have to be replaced by some-
one. That will either be Taylor,
who averaged 7.2 points per game
last season, or the teammates he
distributes the ball to.
Now he doesnt have Sherron
to shoot on his left and his right,
Markieff Morris said, so now hes
got to make better decisions with
the ball.
Travis Releford, who may have
earned
himself a greater
role with his out-of-nowhere
12-point, three-rebound perfor-
mance, said hes seen a jump from
Taylor, thanks in part to the two
years of playing alongside Collins.
Releford was on the receiving end
of one of Taylors six assists.
Tyshawn, I mean, hes learned
a lot from Sherron, he said. This
is his time to step up, take control
of the team.
Self said Taylor was stepping
into the role, filled last year by
Collins, in words as much as in
deeds.
Hes really trying to talk and
be a leader, Self said. Hes done
a good job.
One thing Taylor hasnt shown
the ability to replicate is Collins
outside shooting. He missed both
of his threes against Emporia
State and has hit fewer than 34
percent of his outside shots as a
Jayhawk. Collins, for compari-
sons sake, hit nearly 38 percent
of his threes.
Collectively, the team is just
7-for-31 from three-point range
this season.
Coach is on us about it, but
well get better, Releford said.

Sophomore forwardThomas Robinson slams down a dunk early in the frst half of Kansas fnal exhibition game against Emporia StateTuesday
night at Allen Fieldhouse. Robinson recorded a double-double in the game, with 12 points and ten rebounds, as the Jayhawks defeated the
Hornets 90-59. Kansas will open their regular season Friday evening against Longwood at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
T
he Kansas basketball team
could use a little R and R.
Im not talking about
rest and relaxation; the offseason
is officially over. Im talking about
Robinson and Releford.
The two sophomores got their
first starts of the season last night
against Emporia State. They didnt
let any uncertainties about Coach
Bill Self s decision to start them
linger. Together, they scored the
teams first eight points two of
Thomas Robinsons points came
off put-back dunks, which got the
crowd going.
I would say any dunk by any-
body would set a tone for a team,
Robinson said. A dunk is a game
changer.
Although both players will most
likely be role players coming off
the bench, Robinson looks like he
will contribute more than just rest-
ing time for the Morris twins.
Self has said he wants both
Marcus and Markieff to be able
to play 30 minutes a game, but
it doesnt seem like that is pos-
sible after watching two exhibi-
tion games. Both only played 19
minutes last night. By halftime,
Markieff Morris had three fouls; he
then committed a needless fourth
within the first two minutes of the
second half.
Self also said before the game
that he intended to pressure more
with the defense, which would
force the action into the big guys
more often than in years past. In
the past, Cole Aldrich was usually
there as a blockade for any float-
ers that out-of-control guards put
up. Self said after the game that he
liked Robinsons ability to block
shots, even though he may not be
able to in the same way Aldrich
