Engineering major gaining popularity

Sara SnEatH
ssneath@kansan.com Max Ellenbecker graduated from the University of Kansas in May with a degree in architectural engineering. Ellenbecker and his classmates mark a shift in KU students career interest. Engineering has gained populularity this year, accounting for 7 percent of all the Universitys undergraduates in May. Thats up from 5 percent last year and one of the larger increases of any major. I figured itd be fairly easy to get a job with an engineering degree, Ellenbecker said, but that wasnt my main reason in going into engineering. Other majors, such as biological and biomedical sciences, have seen their number of graduates drop 2 percent over the past three years. Business, social sciences and visual and performing arts are the most popular undergraduate majors at the University and have been for the last three years. Those three majors have graduated between 8 and 13 percent of the Universitys undergraduates in the past three years. According to data collected by PayScale.com, petroleum engineering is the best-paying degree. In fact, the engineering field dominates the list of Top 10 college majors that lead to high salaries. While engineering has recently picked up in popularity at the University, students are still primarily choosing degrees not found on PayScales list of most profitable. Darci Goddard, a senior from Logan, is double majoring in business and film. I think that having the two degrees together will make me more marketable, Goddard said. Goddard said she began with a major in film because of her interest in that field. She said she later added a business major for practical reasons. I definitely think the business school, in general, does a very good job at career placement, Goddard said. They are good at networking while youre in school. They ask you once youre done with a class how you are going to apply it to the job market. Many of the Universitys top majors can be found on Princeton Reviews list of top 10 majors for 2011, including business, psychology, speech and rhetoric studies. According to the Princeton Review, these majors are not necessarily selected based on their hirability but on the skill set they provide. The majors can be applied across the board and provide students with not only a diploma but a competitive mindset. Travis Ice, a junior from Lawrence, said his ideal career working in the front office for a baseball team does not require a specific degree. Yet, he said, majoring in sociology will better prepare him for his goals. Sociology is gaged on a lot of research, Ice said. And what I want to get into is basically all research. Sociology has given me a good understanding of the methods involved. Edited by Jayson Jenks

CHriS BronSon/kanSan The Junkyard Jazz Band performs Thursday night at the American Legion Post #14, 3408 W. Sixth St. The Junkyard Jazz Band was formed in 1981 and focus their music on the 1930s and 1940s eras. Guest danced on the dance floor while the band played.

Jazz band keeps classics alive

bclampitt@kansan.com Dance partners move around the floor as the band plays Louis Armstrongs classic version of the song, Hello, Dolly! Its Thursday night at the Junkyard Jazz Bands open jam session at the American Legion Post 14 and patrons have put on their dancing shoes to movie to the rhythms of old-time jazz. Junkyard, as band member Bruce Roberts refers to it, has its core in the tradition of swing-era, Dixieland jazz bands. The genre generates memories in the audience and the musicians, who normally range from 60- to 90-yearsold. Most of them have had this huge gap where they havent played music since they were 20 or whatever and now they are 60, Roberts said. They kind of remember they miss it and its almost therapeutic for them. The band was founded in 1981 and has roots from the University of Kansas and surrounding communities. One of the bands first members, Clyde Bysom, has been playing in Lawrence since he started dances were principal sources of entertainment. They can remember this music and you can just see it in their eyes, Roberts said. You know that love that you have for your own music youll have a long time, and itll chime you

That was actually the swing-era and at KU theyd have dances three or four times a week, at the union mainly, Roberts said. With no radio or television, Roberts said the back and youll have memories like all of us about certain music or certain songs. The band invites anyone to attend the weekly jam session.

band. With us modern types, were always trying to screw everything up and put a twist on everything, Steve Sharp, a senior from St. Louis, said. They were very true to how the original music should have sounded. It was kind of nice to be put back in touch with that. Sharp is one of two students from the University who have played with the band. Both he and fellow trumpet player Tommy Johnson, a graduate student from Lawrence, valued the learning opportunity. The most important thing that Ive learned from going and playing with them is when to play, when not to play, how to listen and how to pick things up on the fly, Johnson said. Its pretty cool because the more you go, you notice

SAN JUAN, PUERto RICo

A Puerto Rico lawmaker has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on an iPhone application for gays and bisexuals, the head of the U.S. territorys Senate announced Sunday. Sen. Roberto Arango, a Republican who represents the capital of San Juan, presented his letter of resignation after a weekend meeting, Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz said. Local news media published photos from the application showing a mans nude upper body with a cellphone obscuring his face. Another photo showed a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees. Another showed a fuzzy image of a face that seemed to match Arangos.

Two top U.N. officials offered conflicting views Sunday on the safety of its Nigeria headquarters after a suicide car bombing there, as the world paused to mourn the 23 people killed in the attack claimed by a radical Muslim sect. U.N. security chief Gregory Starr acknowledged that safety features could have been better to stop the speeding sedan loaded with explosives. But only hours later, U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro told journalists that the building had really, really tight security. Fridays attack was the first suicide attack targeting foreigners by Boko Haram, a group which has reported links to African terror groups al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and al-Shabab of Somalia.

ABUJA, NIGERIA

The vice president of the breakaway Georgian province of Abkhazia was preliminarily declared the winner of the presidential election Saturday. Alexander Ankvab obtained 55 percent of Fridays vote, Election Commission chairman Batal Tabagua said. The presidential election is the first in Abkhazia sandwiched geographically between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains and caught politically between Russia and Georgia since Moscow recognized its independence in 2008. The vote was held three months after the death of President Sergei Bagapsh.

SUKhUmI, GEoRGIA

A ruling party minister in Pakistans violenceplagued city of Karachi resigned Sunday, charging that the citys largest political party was behind the bloodshed and its leader was a killer, allegations that could spark more trouble. Holding a copy of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, Zulfikar Mirza accused the powerful Muttahida Qaumi Movement of responsibility for kidnapping, extortion and violence that has killed more than 400 people since July. He also accused the party of killing journalist Wali Khan Babar earlier this year. In a statement, the MQM said Mirza himself was a patron of murderers and his remarks were a heinous bid to spark the fire of hatred, violence and insurgency.

Students weather storm in New York

IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com Thea Glassman, a sophomore from New York, weathered Hurricane Irene at a friends home in Brooklyn, N.Y. Glassman and her mom evacuated their apartment building Saturday night, much like 370,000 other New York residents ordered to leave their homes as the city prepared for the storm. The building is across the street from the Hudson River, and the doorman handed her the mandatory evacuation order at 5 p.m. Hurricane Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm early Sunday morning, and by 3 p.m. city officials lifted the order from their Manhattan neighborhood, where Glassman is staying before entering a study abroad program. Glassman said it was a heavy storm, but she did not see much severe damage or lose power either at home or in Brooklyn. It definitely was not nearly as terrible as we thought it might be, she said Sunday night. But the storm did close down the citys subways and cause widespread damage in the city over the weekend. Across the east coast, the storm caused an estimated $7 billion in damages, according to the Associated Press. At least 21 people were killed. In New York, more than 3 million residents lost power. Power outages extended more than 60 miles northwest from the coast. Naomi Elze-Harris, a former University student now attending The Culinary Institue of America in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., lost power at her residence hall at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. She said most students in her area had been preparing for a state of emergency, but some also took it as an excuse to stock up on wine and host hurricane parties. I went to a couple, she said. It was fun. Elze-Harris said she wanted to study Sunday night, but didnt know what she would do with the power out. She had taken her knives to be sharpened earlier in the day, but found the shop like many others in Poughkeepsie closed because of the storm. Rebecca Ballhaus, a junior at Brown University, was with Glassman in Brooklyn. Earlier in the week, Ballhaus said, she thought everyone was making a fuss over nothing. But citywide hurricane preparations and stern weather reports eventually made her a little freaked out. She saw friends evacuate their homes and decided to fill her bathtub with water in case utilities failed. Weather reports on Sunday showed that the storm had moved on. She drained the tub and walked Glassman home across the Brooklyn Bridge. Once home, Glassman found the storefronts on her street boarded up, and the only shop still open was Dunkin Donuts. She treated herself to one with chocolate sprinkles. It was quite a trip, Glassman said. I guess we got lucky. Edited by Laura Nightengale

more than 100 Student Union Activities (SUA) members worked the SUA carnival Saturday night in the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness center parking lot. Zach mcQuiston, a junior from Shawnee and the coordinator of special events for SUA, said the carnival is one of SUAs most popular events. Traditional carnival games and rides, such as a Ferris wheel and TiltA-Whirl, provided entertainment to students. Students and faculty with a KU ID received five free tickets for games and rides. Additional tickets could be purchased at the event. The carnival is paid for by the SUA budget and has been a staple in SUA events for the last five years. Whitney Kleinmann, a junior from overland Park, attended the carnival with her boyfriend because she said she thought it would be a cute date for the two of them. She said

she was surprised at the intensity of some rides and how extravagant the carnival turned out to be. She said that some rides were scarier than she would have thought. more than the rides and games though, the novelty of the experience is what Kleinmann appreciated most from her night at the carnival. It was so nostalgic, Kleinnman said. It felt like a carnival in a movie that you never think youll go to, but it was the closest thing youll get to that. By Claire McInerny

yourself getting better. Roberts said there have been times when the American Legion has struggled to stay afloat, but Thursday nights have brought in enough money to keep things going. The band performs freeof-charge and a $10 buffet starts the evening. However, the bands opportunity to share a cherished style of music among a generation as well as instruct others in that music flouts all adversity. The age of these musicians transcends everything, Roberts said. The common language is the music and listening to one another. So you can be 16 or 94 and get kudos from one another. You learn from one another, and thats an amazing thing. Edited by Rachel Schultz

Pharmacy school gives funding back to state

The University of Kansas returned $4.5 million to the state that was allocated for the School of Pharmacy expansion, prompting the praise of Gov. Sam Brownback. The construction of the new pharmacy building on west campus and new pharmacy facilities in Wichita came in under budget. The leftover funds will be reallocated to restoration of the statehouse.

We appreciate the School of Pharmacy sending their funds here, Brownback said in a news release. Thats deeply appreciated.This is excellent. Ken Audus, School of Pharmacy dean, credited low construction costs and preparation for the money saved. We put in years of planning on this project, Audus said in a release, and when the funds came through, we were shovel-ready. Jonathan Shorman

hallmark to air movie of the royal family

LOS ANGELES Movies based on real stories offer a particular challenge for actors especially when the people they are portraying are well known. For the cast of the new Hallmark Channel movie William & Catherine: A Royal Romance, you dont get much better known than Britains royal family. William & Catherine: A Royal Romance chronicles the love story of Prince William (Dan Amboyer) and Kate Middleton (Alice St. Clair), which culminates in the most-watched wedding in history. The pressure was on for each actor to find the best way to portray members of the royal family. St. Clair faced an acting baptism of fire. This is her first professional acting job and she gets to play one of the most recognized and photographed women in the world. While the media has embraced Kate, there was not a lot of material St. Clair could use to play the role. The actress had to improvise, using her own life growing up in the United Kingdom and Scotland to fill in the pieces. She couldnt even get help from her father, who is part of Queen Elizabeths security detail. Hes a very discreet man and doesnt really talk about his job because its obviously top secret. So I was trying to nudge info, but sadly, you

entertainment

know, hes very quiet, she said. At least she had her roots to help frame the role. Dan Amboyer, who plays William, grew up in Detroit. I think the challenge was to find who these people are and really respect them, Amboyer said. The benefit of doing it after the wedding was that we got to see so much of the programming that was out prior to the wedding. So theres so many documentaries and so many things to watch and interviews to see him. I had an opportunity to really learn a bit about him before taking it on. I worked on the accent a bit and prepared as best I could as I would for any other part. That preparation didnt include learning to play polo. Amboyer promises he will learn the sport should there be a sequel.

Jean Smart found herself in the same predicament as St. Clair when she tried to research Camilla Parker Bowles. She found very little material of Bowles speaking on camera. You feel a certain responsibility certainly especially when its someone still alive to just try to capture just a quality. Hopefully its something thats done respectfully. And I liked that she was portrayed sympathetically in the script. I felt that she deserves that, Smart said. Victor Garber, who plays Prince Charles, mixed the material based on public records with the parts that had to be fictionalized to play the role with enormous responsibility. McClatchy Tribune

fter the five-day first week of classes, the exhausted student probably took to the clubs, bars, frats and apartment parties to blow off steam the college way. Shots, kegs of beer and Ping-Pong balls were part of many students weekend. For students of age, social drinking provides a fun way to hang out with friends while playing with each others libido and living the college experience. But for students under age (and even those of age), the warm, booze-filled weekend is often abused. New students especially need to be careful while celebrating their new-found freedom from

Excessive drinking hurts academic success A

parental oversight. Because if they arent, they could find themselves out of college entirely. A joint study by doctors of community health from University of North Texas and Boston University found that first-year students desires to limit drinking and avoid drinking while driving declined as the semester went on. At the same time, students tended to drink more alcohol, more often, right after classes start. This is a real problem because about 20 percent of first-time, fulltime freshmen drop out after the first year according to the University of Kansas Office of Research and Planning. This means about 800 of new students will not continue at the University at the end of spring 2012. The U.S. Department of Education claims that abusive alcoholrelated activities negatively contribute to academic success, and can carry a bevy of problems that may take years to fix, if they can be fixed at all. A perfect example of this is the tragedy of Jason Wren. A former freshman who died from alcohol poisoning at his fraternity in 2009, Wren had developed drinking problems while he was living in University housing. He was cited for numerous liquor violations while living in Oliver Hall and was required to move out after just five months. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity took him in, and he was found in his room on March 8 with a blood alcohol content of .362 more than four times the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. His story exposed the problems and dangers of binge drinking on campus. It also showed that for freshmen, the worst possible outcome of unrestrained drinking is possible. The University has resources to help students at http://www2. ku.edu/~alcohol/resources/, but it starts with the student. Drinking is a natural part of college life. Its a stress reliever, but only when alcohol is not consumed to the point of

drunkenness. Go out, have fun, but know your limits. Moderation ensures you wont become one of the 800 freshmen dropouts or suffer the same fate as Jason Wren. Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board

A blurb is not enough

Quick, think about the news headlines of the summer. We have a new country: the Republic of South Sudan; the GOP battle for the Republican Presidential nomination has begun in earnest; our military involvement in Libya has intensified. These events continue to capture our attention through the media, even though at times we may attempt to shut them out. Today, more than ever, we can specifically choose the news reports we follow daily. Flipping through a newspaper or magazine, we can look over anything were not interested in and read more about what we are. Television shows and news channels can be easily streamed over the web, and we have complete control over what we want to watch. Tiny blurbs on social media tempt us into clicking attached links to read more. In the end, we have the power to spend our time specifically on whatever we wish. This barrage of blurbs is increasingly becoming a source of entertainment. The subjects of these news stories can at times seem to exist as pure sideshows, but we forget very easily that these landmark events affect the lives of others much more than we realize.

dear Students, rather than complaining about townies driving 10 miles under the speed limit, why dont we just compromise: nobody will drive more than 20 miles over the speed limit. love, Townie

the new same-sex marriage law in New York may be pleasant and enlightening, but its ramifications for couples who have lived in the state for years and can now marry the love of their lives are profound. Images of famine in Somalia may be shocking and unpleasant, but its not like images can ever be forced upon anyone. Just as easily as the image is available, it is just as easy to click out of it and immediately forget about its impact. Elders and peers constantly remind us to take a walk in another persons shoes when we are quick to make judgmental statements about others with a limited amount of knowledge at our disposal. I couldnt even count the number of people I saw on social media making snap judgments about their approval or disapproval of the debt limit deal (or, with even less sensitivity, the Casey Anthony trial), even though they knew a bare

minimum about the ins and outs of these events and were possibly even pre-disposed to an opinion because of biased news anchors. We are invited to make these judgments, though, because of how the news is normally fed to us without us realizing its impact. By allowing ourselves access to more news, less of our time may be devoted to reading through each event one-by-one. This may lead to an even greater misunderstanding of the issues at large. One way to overcome any sort of these incorrect assumptions is to open up our awareness to the fact that there is no simple way of understanding everything the media is offering us. Through that awareness, as I am discovering today, there was never really a moment when not much was going on. All that changes is our realization that we can constantly further our understanding of the world and all the complex events that happen on it. After that, the summer seems practically mild in comparison. Brett Salsbury is a senior in English, art history, and global and international studies from Chapman.

I guess you could call me an environmental and organic health nut, considering I use all organic hygiene products, cringe when people throw away soda cans and try to stick to organic groceries. And I am. But while starting to unpack my room, I realized that I have no organic clothing. I dont even know that much about those types of clothes. Or, at least, I didnt until I started writing this column. Whenever I think of organic or green clothing, for some reason, I think of large burlap sacks with a hole for a persons head and holes for their arms. Yes, thats weird. But I never had the greatest view of these clothes in the past. Just like with any other organic product, using these reduces emissions of toxins into the environment. And that is enough reason, at least for me, to give this clothing a chance. Although there are a couple of handfuls of types of organic fabrics, cotton, hemp, and bamboo are three of the most popular. The conventional alternatives of these organic plants are sprayed with lots of pesticides and insecticides. While cotton is advertised as a natural product, conventionally grown cotton is sprayed with more than 25 percent of the worlds insecticides. Many of these chemicals used on cotton, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are likely to cause cancer. While, I feel like just about everything this day is shown to cause cancer and, therefore, am typically a bit skeptical, I actually

believe it in this case. Five of the top chemicals used on cotton have been proven to cause cancer and all top nine are classified by the EPA in Categories I and II as the most dangerous. The final process of manufacturing cotton products even involves harmful chemicals, including bleaches and formaldehydes. If youre a little skeptical about that, maybe this will change your mind. Pesticides kill about 200,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization. Since pesticides are used to grow plants such as cotton, making and wearing this clothing only contributes to this deadly occurrence. So, wake up and smell the organic roses! After finding that information, I became convinced that organic clothing was the way to go. But I still had the burlap sack image in my head. When I looked at some organic clothes online, though, I was shocked. They looked exactly the same as everyday, typical clothing! As with all clothing, you have to search for the bargains. Organic t-shirts can cost anywhere from $30 to $300, dresses around $50 and jeans start around $30. I dont think thats bad considering the outlandish prices of clothing now a day. Plus, organic clothing made out of hemp or bamboo is durable, so you wont have to bust your wallet on clothes as often. So, we can all be stylish and save the environment too. What a relief!

VOLLEYBALL REWIND
Jayhawks complete sweep at Georgia Bulldog Invitational
MAtt GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com Last season, the volleyball team started off by winning their first seven games. But the dominant way they won the Georgia Bulldog Invitational in Athens, Ga., over the weekend may have been an even more impressive start. The Jayhawks capped off an unblemished weekend by defeating Georgia, 25-16, 25-19, 25-14. It was the third sweep in two days for the Jayhawks, who improved their record to 3-0. You look at it beforehand and you have to be pretty happy with a tournament championship, coach Ray Bechard said. You can identify a lot of things we can work on, but were happy with a lot of things, too. We controlled the things we wanted to control. Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield led the Jayhawks with 10 kills and was named the invitationals most valuable player. I knew I wanted to play well and be a leader for my team, with my passing and hitting, Mayfield said. It was just kind of an added bonus to get that in the end. It just showed how much we were on, because I couldnt do that without my teammates. The Jayhawks also got strong production out of their middle blockers, as sophomore Caroline Jarmoc and junior Tayler Tolefree each finished with eight kills against the Bulldogs. I think we did exceptionally well, Jarmoc said. Obviously there is always room for improvement in every area, but I dont think we could have asked for a better start to the season. The only time the Jayhawks were in danger of losing a set came on Friday against Florida A&M in the season opener. But behind a career-best .700 attack percentage from Tolefree, the Jayhawks swept, 25-22, 25-23, 25-20. I wasnt overly excited with the way we started the tournament in the first match, and the team wasnt either, Bechard said on Saturday. But today was a different story. I thought we played at a another level, and I was pleased with that. Bechards team trounced their second opponent of the invitational, Liberty, 25-21, 25-13, 25-9 on Saturday morning. Mayfield finished with 17 kills and a career-best .484 (17-for-31) attack percentage. I think we made it pretty clear that this team is going to be a threat offensively as well as defensively, Mayfield said. In the past, weve had a pretty good offensive threat. But this tournament showed we could put up good blocks. Despite the impressive start, Bechard, in his 14th year at the helm for the Jayhawks, still sees room for improvement before the team opens home play at noon on Sept. 2 in the first game of the Jayhawk Invitational. Weve got a number of things offensively, just from a system standpoint, that needs a lot of work, Bechard said. You can identify a lot of things from the first weekend of play. Weve got to be a little more diverse in our offense. Edited by Josh Kantor

State are evenly matched teams, but playing the game in Ames, Iowa, this season gives Iowa State the slight edge. The same could be said about the Wildcats and Jayhawks. Kansas State isnt a special team, but it did go to a bowl game last season and Bill Snyder seems to reload every year. The game is being played in Lawrence, so thats a plus. The way I see the rest of the games: at Oklahoma State? Loss. Home against Oklahoma? Loss. At Texas? Loss. Home against Baylor? Loss. At Texas A&M? Loss. At Arrowhead against Missouri? Loss. The Border Showdown is supposed to be close and exciting, but step back and be honest. Missouri is the more talented team. The Tigers didnt let up on the Jayhawks last year, what makes you think this season will be any different? I wish godspeed to Kansas. It may be a repeat of last season, but at least expectations are low and fans cant be too upset when Kansas doesnt win. With a few more solid recruiting classes, Kansas should be competitive in the next few seasons. As for you, the fans: be patient. Edited by Josh Kantor

Bill Self recruiting; recruits tweeting

mAx RothmAN mrothman@kansan.com The University of Connecticut, defending NCAA tournament champions, signed Andre Drummond on Friday, a center who will make people forget Hasheem Thabeet ever existed. Drummond, No. 2 in the ESPNU 100 ranking for this season, will bolster an already talented lineup that includes Alex Oriakhi, Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier among others. Yes, this news is upsetting for Jayhawk fans. Any news of another contender vastly improving should be. Just dont go thinking that Bill Self is sitting around and watching the clock tick. Below are recent tweets from some of the top prospects that Self and his assistants have targeted, followed with my thoughts. The rankings are from ESPNU. Aug. 15: #NBARank- 1. Kobe 2. Lebron 3. Durant 4. D Rose 5. Dirk 6.Dwight !!! Maxs thoughts: I guess Shabazz didnt watch that Lakers-Mavericks series in May. That sweep should unquestionably drop Kobe in the ranks. Aug. 28: Back to Vegas!!!! Maxs thoughts: Is Selby still over there? Tell him I say no, you know what, Lets leave that kind of talk for the ball fields. @A1Laflare10 Shooting Guard, 6-foot-5, 181 pounds Sylvan Hills High School, Little Rock, Ark. Aug. 25: School comes before ball. Education is the key Maxs thoughts: A tweet like this makes one wonder the following: 1) Did his mother hack his Twitter account? 2) If Archie really wrote this, does he mean it? 3) Will he repeat this if he jumps to the NBA after one season? Aug. 27: The great ones always stay in the gym. I get mad if I have to miss a day because the gym is my sanctuary Maxs thoughts: Ever since Denzel Washington mentioned the word sanctuary in Remember the Titans, it seems like anything is a sanctuary these days. Churches, mosques and synagogues are understandable. But gyms? Pretty soon well have baristas muttering the coffee shop is my sanctuary over a mug of hazelnut. Pardon me for sounding like a geezer on this one, but is nothing sacred? Aug. 28: I love the smell of hooping in the air Maxs thoughts: Amen to this. Basketball season is nearing. Are your nostrils whiffing it yet? Aug. 28: I wanna stay in New York just to hoop Maxs thoughts: This writer has never balled at Rucker, but he played near West Village over the summer. This kid I guarded, Frank, was a classic NYC point guard--beautiful dribbling, superior strength, no jump-shot. Does Archie have a J, or lack thereof that we should keep an eye on? @T_warren32 Forward, 6-foot-7, 205 pounds Brewster Academy, Durham, N.C. Aug. 28: I hope all my family up in DC and MD are safe from the hurricane! Maxs thoughts: By late Sunday, 233,000 people in the Washington D.C. region were still without power, according to the Washington Examiner. There are no casualties in Washington D.C. to report. We wish T.J.s family and the rest of the country good luck in these crazy weather times. Aug. 28: Feels good just waking up! Blessed to see another day! I hope everybody is enjoying there first day back! Maxs thoughts: It would feel that good to wake up for all of us if we also had the touch of Midas. Aug. 24: I cant wait for COLLEGE! Maxs thoughts: Books, beer pong, 200 kid lectures, Jimmy Johns, Asher Roth. I cant wait either, and I graduate in May.

@isaiahlewis12 Shooting Guard, 6-foot-3, 170 pounds Christ the King High School, Middle Village, N.Y. Aug. 28: Adrian Peterson or chris Johnson?? Maxs thoughts: If were talking pure talent, Im taking Adrian Peterson. If were talking fatter head, Im taking Chris Johnson, the running back (arguably the most disposable position) who thinks he should be the highest paid player in the NFL. Aug. 28: Im about to blow up!! Maxs thoughts: Alert the medics? Maybe we should, because this kid is in the class of 2013. If he thinks his basketball reputation is blowing up on a national scale, about to just took on another meaning. Aug. 25: Took a 7 hr nap.crazyy Maxs thoughts: This is a classic mundane tweet that lets you answer the question: Who is the real Isaiah Lewis? Lets just hope he didnt tweet this while playing defense. Edited by C.J. Matson

talib avoids suspension despite pending charges

Former Kansas cornerback aqib Talib will be permitted to play in the 2011 season despite his arrest from an off-season shooting in Texas. Talib currently plays in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buccaneers general manager mark Dominik announced the NFLs decisions before the Buccaneers preseason game against the miami Dolphins on Saturday. Talib awaits trial for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon scheduled in march. The NFL can choose to revisit his case depending on the trials outcome. In 2010, Talib led the Buccaneers in interceptions, despite playing in just 11 games. Talib, the 20th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, was a 2007 Consensus First-Team all-american, won the 2007 Jack Tatum award as the Nations best defensive back and was named mVP of the 2008 Orange Bowl for the Jayhawks.

the Kansas womens soccer team. However, they began this season fresh, picking up a 3-2 victory over Southern California at the University of San Diego Tournament in San Diego on Friday.

In the 16th minute, sophomore midfielder Amy Grow scored the equalizing goal of the first half when she scored off a rebound. It was a really intense game, Grow said. We were under high pressure and it was pretty frantic; and once we finally settled down and played our game things started going our way.

the 63rd minute of the match, while junior midfielder Whitney Berry notched one goal and two assists for the night. It was huge having our first win on the road just setting the tone for the rest of season, Berry said. A win like this is a potential springboard for the rest of the season for Kansas. Even though USC dropped to a record of 0-3, they were ranked in several college soccer preseason polls. Unbelievable today, coach Mark Francis said on kuathletics.com. USC is very athletic they will close you down quickly. We knew it was going to be a battle. We just didnt quit. If youre looking at the box score, there might be nothing wrong with the production thus far, but the team knows its a long process to seek their ultimate potential. As far as attacking wise goes,

were starting to see where each other are going to be, Berry said. The road trip to San Diego also served as a bonding experience for the team, who were already close to begin with. I think our team chemistry is great this year; we all get along really well, Grow said. It definitely helps traveling on the road because were together 24/7. It was a crucial victory for the season, and the team remains focused. Throughout the year theyve been able to move to each game without dwelling on past accomplishments for a long period of time. I think just taking it one game at a time and knowing that nobodys an easy game will be a good attitude to go with, Berry said.

Cam Newton is not the next big bust

rookie quarterbacks road to NFL superstardom is often long and treacherous. Not everyone can make it. The Oakland Raiders thought they found the man who would turn around their fortunes in 2007 when they selected JaMarcus Russell with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft that year. It was supposed to be the dream scenario for the teams outspoken owner, Al Davis. It turned out to be a $68-million nightmare. After dismal performances on the field and legal troubles off it, Russell only lasted three seasons in the NFL. He is currently out of a job and considered to be one of the biggest busts of all time along with Ryan Leaf and Tim Couch. The 2011 season marks the beginning of the NFL career of Cam Newton, a rookie quarterback who has drawn comparisons to Russell,

the former LSU standout. Is Newton inevitably the next bust? Many of the talking heads think so, but I see a rising superstar with athletic ability and plenty of potential. When it comes to Newton, winning and controversy have been constants during his career. In college, Newton transferred from the Florida Gators to Texas Blinn College amidst accusations of stealing a laptop and academic fraud. After leading Blinn to the 2009 NJCAA Football Championship,

Newton landed at Auburn. All he did at Auburn was lead the Tigers to a perfect season and win the Heisman Trophy while facing a bevy of pay for play allegations. Riding the momentum from his only season at Auburn all the way to the NFL, Newton was selected first overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. Newtons doubters have been quick to point out his mechanical flaws and his inconsistent accuracy. But I am more than sold on his arm strength, athleticism, leadership and competitive drive. Newton hates to lose, and he knows nothing but winning. That mentality and work ethic are what sets him apart from JaMarcus Russell. Russells attitude and priorities doomed his career before it ever had the chance to take off. Rather than getting into training camp and working to gain the trust

of his coaching staff and teammates, Russell held out over a contract dispute that did not end until the first week of the 2007 season. Russell arrived at Raiders camp out of shape and behind Josh McCown on the depth chart. Newton, on the other hand,

looks to be well on his way to officially winning the Carolina starting job over former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Cam Newton is not the new JaMarcus Russell. Edited by Jayson Jenks

COMMENTARY

Dont hope for much this year

Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com

as Sports Illustrateds 1-11 prediction less than flattering? Yes. Was it warranted? Probably. Being predicted last is a blessing in disguise for the Jayhawks. With the expectations down, fans only have to worry if a single victory isnt produced. For the most part, the only place Kansas can go is up in the standings. Kansas should defeat McNeese State with ease, but the same could be said about North Dakota State last season and we all know how that turned out. McNeese State isnt a guaranteed win, as it finished 6-5 overall last season and 5-2 in the Southland conference. It was routed by Missouri last season, just like Kansas, and had a respectable showing against then No. 9 Louisiana State. If Kansas does lose on Saturday, I wont be shocked. But if Kansas wins, celebrate the victory. It may be the last one you experience until next year. This is another season of growing. Its another season of rebuilding. Turner Gill had the 34th ranked recruiting class this season, but those players will need time to mature and they most likely wont be a factor for a few years. They also could surprise everyone, like running back James Sims did last season. If this team wants to improve on its 3-9 record from a year ago, it will need to come together as a unit. Especially since the conference lost two teams and now Kansas will play every team in the conference. This is a challenge that has to be accepted, but probably isnt welcomed warmly, since Kansas has to play Texas and Oklahoma every season now. Besides having nine difficult conference games, Northern Illinois and Georgia Tech arent pushovers. Northern Illinois is better than you think. Yes, it plays in a non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference, but it went 8-0 in the Mid-America Conference and 11-3 overall last season. As for Georgia Tech, Kansas caught it on a bad day in Lawrence. Dont expect a repeat in Atlanta on Sept. 17. Anything can happen, but dont expect it. Going into conference play, Kansas should be 1-2. You might be asking why Kansas was predicted to go 0-9 in the Big 12. Its a twofold answer. First, the other nine teams are better on the field and on paper. There may be a day where Kansas opponents arent focused and the Jayhawks take advantage of that. I can see a team thinking Kansas is a cupcake and doesnt prepare as hard as it would for an Oklahoma or Texas. Second, the schedule doesnt do Kansas any favors. The teams I think Kansas could defeat are Kansas State and Iowa State. I use the word could loosely because I dont think it will happen. I think Kansas and Iowa

tributors, and, on Sunday, the two Colombian national team members showed why they have built a connection before coming to the United States. After the match, Vidal said that she was very excited to help the team win. Salazar helped Vidal translate her comments to English. San Diego was another difficult, physical opponent who had some talented forwards to boot. The Toreros scored in the 29th minute when Natalie Garcia scored her second goal of the season. Despite missing several scoring chances early in the second half, the Jayhawks continued to stick to their offensive assault.

Timing is everything in soccer. It can range from the 90 minutes on the scoreboard, to the amount of time wasted by a player faking an injury to tick a few minutes off the clock. For the Kansas womens soccer team, it was the timing of two goals in the last 10 minutes by freshman forward Ingrid Vidal, which boosted the girls over San Diego in a 2-1 victory, capping off a productive weekend at the University of San Diego Tournament. Both Vidal and her freshman midfielder Liana Salazar were recruited to be significant con-

more offensive minded, Kastor said. Sometimes we get caught up in doing the little things like defensive organization that we dont just relax and play. With the season moving at a fast pace, Kansas hopes to finetune their passing skills. Obviously we had mistakes in the game we need to work on. So Im thinking were going to have to sharpen things up and take baby steps because every game is going to get better. Kansas will finish up their three-game road swing with a trip to Springfield, Mo., against Missouri St. on Friday at 7 p.m. Edited by C.J. Matson

Senior center steps up as leader

mike vernon mvernon@kansan.com Entering fall camp, members of the Kansas Jayhawks offensive line showed up with a new look. The towering big men, who fight in the trenches every Saturday, did something strange they died their hair blond. They wanted to do something together, as a group. Senior center Jeremiah hatch Hatch led the Jayhawks in their hair color changing ventures. The blond hair may be insignificant to the play of the offensive linemen this year, but there is another change Hatch has made that will not be. Losing approximately 35 pounds this offseason has turned the out-of-shape and overweight center back into his peak form from early in his Kansas career. Senior offensive lineman Jeff Spikes, has seen Hatchs results firsthand especially in the weight room. He benched 405, Spikes find where the fire for himself said. When he got here, he was comes from. probably repping 135 and squatWhen you go 3-9 and you ting 135. dont want to go workouts, you Hatch has told Spikes that no think about that 3-9, Hatch one ever worked out at his high said.

When you get up to the second level, thats when you have a better opportunity to have bigger plays. Hatch has started 36 games in his career at Kansas and has experienced some of everything during that time. He was a redshirt freshman during the Orange Bowl season. He played as a freshman during Todd Reesings senior year. He saw the Mark Mangino collapse firsthand. And now, hes trying to build something from a partially broken program. With that mentality, Hatch has set a goal for this team, and an ambitious one at that: Not only get to a bowl game, but win a bowl game. Were just taking it one step at a time, the goal is always realistic, Hatch said. Reality is we will, and we can win a bowl game. If we take it one step at a time, one day at a time, as far as one play at a time, I think well be real good this year. I wont leave here accepting nothing else than a bowl game, Hatch said.

Woodland ties for 13th in the barclays saturday

Former university of kansas golfer gary Woodland tied for 13th at the Barclays on Saturday. Woodland shot 12-under-par during the tournament, seven strokes behind winner Dustin Johnson. His final round score was a 6-under-par 65. On the previous day Woodland shot a 5-underpar 66. The event was shortened from four rounds to three because of Hurricane irene.

Woodland was also the 2005 kansas amateur champion and has been named a candidate to represent the united States in the Walker cup. He will team with Matt kuchar to compete in the World cup in china, according to pga.com. Other notable finishes for Woodland this year include a victory at the Transition championship in March and a 12th place finish at the pga championships earlier this month.
