HI: 37

As Hilary Kass dances around
the kitchen beneath the Burger
Stand while carrying a tray of par-
tially baked biscotti, the faint smell
of burgers is overpowered by the
sweet aroma of rosemary.
Te biscotti, made with amaranth
four, rosemary, and golden raisins,
is a new recipe that Kass is testing
for her company, Ancient Grains
Bakery, which makes gluten-, dairy-
and egg-free baked goods including
cookies, breads and biscotti.
Her products are now sold at
eight stores in Lawrence and Kan-
sas City. In fact, 200 Ancient Grains
Bakery pie crusts sold just for
Tanksgiving.
Its really fun thinking that Im
making something that people I
dont even know will have in their
houses and enjoy, Kass said.
Ancient Grains Bakery products
sell predominately at Te Merc,
where Kass continues to work as a
food educator and cooking teacher.
Rita York Hennecke, the general
manager for Te Merc, said that of-
fering local food has been one the
companys goals since it opened in
1974.
Tree years ago, Kass worked at
Te Merc teaching cooking classes
and helping people with food aller-
gies or dietary restriction fnd foods
they could eat. She began to notice
that the gluten-free foods available
ofen contained processed or re-
fned ingredients, rather than whole
grains.
As a nutrition educator, Im
always trying to get people to eat
whole grains, Kass said. So I would
show people bags of sorghum, bags
of tef, bags of amaranth and mil-
let, and they would look at me like
What in the world is that? and I
would be like Well, Im not really
sure.
Sorghum, tef, amaranth and mil-
let are all gluten-free whole grains
that have been eaten for thousands
of years in other parts of the world,
but are largely disregarded in mod-
ern American cooking. Kass no-
ticed few products incorporated the
gluten-free substitutes.
Tis led Kass to the idea of mak-
ing gluten-free food from whole
grains. She also decided to make
her food egg- and dairy-free to
make it accessible for people with
other food allergies.
I think its a small percentage of
people that cant eat gluten, dairy
and eggs, but those people are like
Tank you, Kass said.
At frst, Kass worked from her
kitchen at home, perfecting recipes
through trial and error and printing
product labels of from her home
computer. But she soon ran into a
problem.
Kass said that its hard to sell re-
tail if you
To sell retail you have to work
out of a commercial kitchen, Kass
said. Its a huge deal, because if
youre small like me, its really hard
to fnd a way to do that.
She cooked in a commercial
kitchen in the Douglas County
Extension, which allowed her to
sell her breads and cookies to Te
Merc. She also found that large
chain stores were willing to give her
products a chance on their shelves.
I was completely surprised at
how open and willing retailers were
to take on something and give it a
try, Kass said.
But the $100 per day rental fee
and a rule forbidding supplies to
be lef in the kitchen overnight led
her to the basement of the Burger
Stand, where she currently bakes
her line of gluten-free products and
develops new ones.
But baking without key ingre-
dients like butter and eggs can be
a challenge, Kass said. She uses
organic extra virgin coconut oil in
place of butter, adds moisture with
apple sauce, and replaces eggs with
ground fax seeds mixed with water
which has a gelatinous texture.
But she hasnt fgured out how to
make everything quite yet.
Te one place where I am re-
ally stumped is making a good,
gluten- free raised bread, Kass said.
I havent mastered that yet, and
maybe I never will. I make a few
things that are typical American,
like pie crust and cookie dough, but
the other things Im trying to make
are just naturally dense and natu-
rally fat .
Kass and other local food pro-
ducers might be benefting from
local food becoming a burgeon-
ing trend in recent years because
of concerns about food health and
personal records stolen
from student Housing
People broke into a Department of
Student Housing offce Wednesday night
and stole documents containing per-
sonal information of current and former
student housing residents, according to
a Department of Student Housing email
distributed Friday afternoon to those af-
fected.
The email, signed by Diana Robert-
son, director of student housing, encour-
aged those affected by the theft to be
on the lookout for any possible misuse of
your information.
The records stolen included names,
apartment numbers, birth dates, email
addresses, KUID numbers and other
information about some current and
former housing residents as well as in-
formation about the people they listed
as dependants.
According to the email, housing real-
ized the theft on Thursday and reported
it to the KU Public Safety Offce.
Hesham Al-Damen was one victim of
the information theft. Al-Daman, a post
doctoral student from Irbid, Jordan, said
he felt worried and concerned about the
situation.
I dont feel safe, he said.
The KU Public Safety Offce confrmed
that there was a break-in at Corbin
Hall, where the Department of Student
Housing is located, on Wednesday. More
information including the number of
residents affected is not currently avail-
able.

Tree students stories about discovering
and learning to embrace their sexualities
H
e was in high school the frst time he witnessed the
Westboro Baptist Church protesting. Te group
stood outside Free State High School in Lawrence,
where Cameron Case attended school. Te posters
and anti-gay messages troubled him. Afer viewing
the scene, he went to the parking lot of the school,
upset, talking to a friend on the phone about his
disbelief.
Tis was the frst time Case, now a junior at the University, felt hated for
being gay.
For Case and at least two other students, Nick Harbert and Taylor Scrivner,
the University and Lawrence community provide a comfortable place to come
to terms with their sexuality. Te acceptance and friendships gained during
their college years made them more comfortable with being gay.
Growing up in Lawrence, Case never felt uncomfortable as he came to terms
with his sexuality. A lot of his friends suspected it, and he always knew his
parents would be accepting when he fnally told them he was gay when he was
16. In junior high, other boys teased him for hanging out with only girls or
for his famboyant personality, but the tormentors made Case realize a bigger
truth: some people would never accept him because of his sexual orientation.
For many like Case, coming out at a young age is becoming more and more
typical. According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2010, over 50 percent of
Americans feel homosexual relations are morally acceptable, and because of this
growing tolerance, the average age of a gay person coming out is dramatically
younger than it was just 30 years ago.

Accepted from
the beginning
C
ase admitted being gay for
the frst time to his best
friends at the age of 16. He
already told one, but he wanted to
come out to the rest of them. It was
the weekend, they were drinking,
getting ready to go to Taco Bell, and
he had the courage.
He was 16.
But they already knew, and im-
mediately supported him.
He was more nervous to tell his
family. His parents dont have strong
religious oppositions toward gay
people, but he was nervous about
what they would think. He told his
mom frst, then his sister. Telling
his dad was the most difcult. He
didnt want to disappoint him as
his only son, but afer coming out
to his family Case found that they
were all very accepting.
Coming out was a gradual pro-
cess for Case. Afer elementary
school, he found himself with fewer
guy friends. He was closest with his
girl friends, and around this time
considered what he was feeling.
It was more in junior high that
I slowly started to realize I wasnt
physically attracted to girls, Case
said. I was with them all the time
and I got along with them really
well as friends. Tats when it really
started developing.
Te summer before Case came
out to those close to him, he started
talking to another guy. Tey became
very close, and eventually hooked
up. And then he questioned what
he was doing.
I ended up having sex with a
girl at the end of the summer, Case
said. I kind of think I did it to
prove, do I really like this? I kind of
realized I liked guys better.
Are you like me, or
your dad?
N
ick Harbert came out
three times. To his mom,
to his dad and to his aunt
and grandmother. Harbert, a se-
nior from Wichita, did not have to
come out to a lot of people, because
growing up he always had efemi-
nate traits. A lot of people just as-
sumed.
When Harbert was fve three
years afer his parents divorced
his father sat him down and
revealed his homosexuality to his
son.
Harbert witnessed the struggle
his father endured afer coming
out, including falling-outs with
family members. Although his fa-
ther faced confict with his family,
it paved the way for Harbert to later
come out to them.
Te conversation with his mom
consisted of a simple question she
asked him, Are you like me, or like
your dad?
He was a junior in high school.
Despite seeing the process of
coming out frsthand with his fa-
ther, Harbert still struggled with
accepting his sexuality.
I went to private Catholic high
school, Harbert said. Te school
paid for me to go to school, so it
wasnt really possible for me to
come out. It brings up all the issues
of theyre paying my tuition and
what if they fnd out?
Harbert was new to Wichita at
the time he was trying to keep his
sexuality under wraps at school. He
grew up in Johnson City, a much
smaller community, and did not
know many people when he start-
ed high school. Trying to come to
terms with his sexuality, keep it
a secret and make close relation-
ships was a struggle. He hated high
school. It was difcult for him to
socialize when classmates made
comments before knowing him.
When senior year arrived, Har-
bert was out. Te attitudes of other
students were the same, but how he
felt about himself shifed.
It got better for me once I start-
ed accepting it, he said. So people
would say something and were
taken aback that I wasnt ofended
by it. It got easier once I was more
comfortable with it.
Hiding the truth
F
or nine years, Taylor Scriv-
ner wanted one thing to
not be gay.
Growing up in Hoyt with conser-
vative family and friends, Scrivner
thought being gay was the worst
thing that could happen to him.
From the time he was 11 years
old, Scrivner, now a junior at the
University, struggled with knowing
he was gay.
I was good about lying about
it, he said. I wanted it so bad to
not be true, which is not how I feel
now, but at the time I wanted it so
bad that it was easy to suppress.
When he was 17, Scrivner told
his mom how he was feeling. She
said his assessment of these feelings
was incorrect and it was a phase
that would pass. He became de-
pressed. Tis attempt to come out
to his mom reafrmed his feelings
that he had to hide the truth about
being gay.
Once Scrivner got to the Univer-
sity, he made a lot of friends who
were out and open about being gay,
which caused him more pain.
I would sometimes look at
them with envy, Scrivner said.
Tey could be out. I wished that
my friends had been diferent, my
family had been diferent, that I
would have had a better environ-
ment or that I would have been
braver when I was younger.
Last summer, Scrivner kissed a
boy for the frst time. It felt right
and he realized it was the right time
for him to come out. He told his
close friends frst, and afer getting
their support, got the courage to
go home and come out to his fam-
ily. Coming out to his mom again
was difcult, and she continues to
struggle with it but is trying to ac-
cept that her son is gay. Scrivner
thinks she is doing a good job.
Tis semester, Scrivners life
completely changed. Te friend-
ships and relationships in his life
improved because he feels he is not
lying anymore. Scrivner is bisexu-
al, and he fnds people have a hard
time grasping what that means.
For him, being bisexual means he
is open to an emotional or physical
relationship with either sex.
Finally accepting his feelings and
not hiding a part of himself was a
struggle, but one Scrivner said was
one of the best things to happen to
him.
Its not a choice you can make,
unfortunately, Scrivner said. Now
that Im out though, I dont think
that I would choose not to be. Im
so much happier and its a great
life.
Te study of
coming out
W
hen teaching about
coming out in his class-
es, Milton Wendland,
a visiting assistant professor in
the department of women, gender
and sexuality
studies, tries to
make sure all
of his students
can relate to
the process.
Coming out is
not just for gay
people, he said,
but happens when
anyone reveals a part of themself
they are afraid wont be accepted by
others.
If youre a staunch Republican
and your family is Democrat, at
some point you have to come out
and that can be sort of a serious
thing for you, Wendland said. Or
if your familys entire fortune is in
the broccoli industry and you de-
test broccoli, thats a sort of coming
out.
Wendland teaches courses on
LGBT culture and strives to make
sure his students take away some-
thing they can use every day. A ma-
jor point Wendland stresses about
the coming out process is that it
happens throughout a persons life.
Wendland said every time a gay
person has to explain to a school-
teacher, a veterinarian or a landlord
who a partner is, its a coming out
process.
It forces you to constantly reveal
that part of you, Wendland said.
Where other people will ofen get
to coast on assumptions. In that
way it makes it more real to people
because its not just this horrible
conversation you have with your
parents and then thats the end of it.
It goes on and on and on.
Wendlands own coming out
process is not over. Twenty years
ago, he told his parents he is gay
and they asked him not to tell any-
one else in his small town. Since
then, the subject never came up
again. His parents do not know
about his job, what he teaches and
that so much of his life is devoted
to the LGBT community. Recently,
the circumstances changed and he
knows he needs to talk with them
again.
He is in a serious relationship
now. He and his partner adopted a
dog together. And now Wendland
wants his parents to know about
their relationship.
Tats a good example of how
with coming out you cant do it on
someone elses schedule, Wend-
land said. It has to be according
to your family situations or your
economic circumstances.

BALTIMORE Shaking,
sweating and swooning are par
for the course among the pas-
sionate young fans of the Twi-
light series. But reports that a
scene in Breaking Dawn has
been sparking seizures in the-
aters nationwide has epilepsy
experts on the alert and parents
thinking twice about letting their
kids see the movie.
Ofcials at the Maryland-
based Epilepsy Foundation is-
sued a warning this week to
their nearly 11,000 followers on
Facebook, saying people prone
to certain types of seizures might
want to skip the flm, which has
been the top-grossing movie
in the country for two weeks
straight.
If you were parents of a child
with epilepsy, you would not
send your child to the movie,
says Mimi Carter, the founda-
tions director of communica-
tions. Why would you risk it?
Tere have been at least nine
reported instances of people suf-
fering seizures during Breaking
Dawn, the latest installment in
the teen vampire series. Te trig-
ger seems to be a particularly in-
tense birth scene that involves a
strobe efect with fashes of red,
white and black light.
In one widely reported in-
stance, a California man at the
theater with his girlfriend began
to convulse during the graphic
scene.
According to CBS Sacramen-
to, paramedics rushed Brandon
Gephart to the emergency room
afer he was convulsing, snort-
ing, trying to breathe. Gephart
remembered nothing of the at-
tack, but his girlfriend, Kelly Bau-
man, told reporters, He scared
me big time.
In another instance, a woman
who took her daughters to see the
movie in Oregon starting feeling
strange during the birth scene.
I (s)tarted feeling sick to my
stomach, like I was going to be
sick, Tina Goss told television
station KATU in Portland. Re-
ally hot, really sweaty, like on the
verge of vomiting.
Goss told reporters she wasnt
coherent again until arriving at
a hospital. My hands were com-
pletely blue for like two to three
hours, she said. Te next day, I
was so lethargic I felt like Id, you
know, like ran eight marathons.
Other instances have been re-
ported in Maine, Utah, Massachu-
setts and Canada.
Many more people say they
have gotten sick during the movie
for reasons that have nothing
to do with epilepsy. On Twitter,
for instance, dozens of teens say
they got queasy and even vomited
or fainted during the movies gris-
lier interludes, which include a
fair amount of blood and gore.
A retired physician in Califor-
nia, Zach Pine, began document-
ing cases on a website afer his
18-year-old son, who had never
had a seizure, sufered one during
the movie. He lists nine reported
instances on his Google page.
People susceptible to this sort
of attack sufer from whats known
as photosensitivity, a stimulus-in-
duced seizure disorder.
While epilepsy is relatively
uncommon in the population
about 3 million Americans have
it photosensitivity is even rar-
er, occurring in just 3 percent of
those with epilepsy.

I hate listening to the radio. If

that I have a certain CD playing

CD definitely gets over-played.
Sometimes I wonder if those
who ride with me frequently get

over and over again, but more
often than not, Im too happy
listening to music Ill probably
always be addicted to over some
randomized collection of tunes
that I cant control.
This is one of my many idio-

these as annoying habits that

essential parts of my personality
that delineate me from every-
one else. I dont know of many
other people who enjoy sending
facetious tweets while bored at
stoplights on the road, but that
doesnt stop me from tweeting
incessantly and probably endan-
gering the life of whoever is rid-
ing in the passenger seat.
Post-Modernist thought in
todays era celebrates individual-
ity and disassociates from hard-
edged classifications between
extremes like gay or straight
and male or female. In a sim-
ilar vein, I dislike when someone
is stereotyped based on their
outward appearance, manner-
isms or by a group or organiza-
tion they have identified with.
Always wanting to come to a
definitive conclusion in terms of
someones personality is natural,
but we should stop ourselves
from assuming so much. Things
are never as they seem.
Obviously, most of us hate
being stereotyped, but we still
are unconscious participants in
the process. I have to stop myself
whenever I see a smoker step-
ping out for a cigarette and auto-
matically assuming that there
is something inherently wrong
with their willpower or outlook
that they have become addict-
ed. Everyones life experiences
are unique and their state of
mind today reflects that. There
is absolutely nothing wrong with
that.
Whatever your viewpoints on
the hot topics of todays world,
we all have a certain mix of them
that arises in our words and
actions around others. Some of
us become involved in politics or
activism to bring about change.
Some of us dont concern our-
selves without being outwardly
influential. Some of us engage
our creative minds artistically.
Some of us pursue careers in the
athletics.
It is difficult to reach extremes
in reality. You probably have a
friend who is extremely out-
going, and probably another
friend who is normally quiet
as a mouse, but youll find that
they arent at either extreme 100
percent of the time. Dynamics
change in different groups and
settings.
Never be afraid to celebrate
your individuality. Your hab-
its, outlooks, perspectives, and
desires (both conscious and
unconscious) are rolled up in
your individuality and are the
building blocks to your person-
ality. Juxtaposing my addictions
to black coffee, foreign foods,
colorful rooms, poetry writing,
museum perusing and being out-
doors may be strange to some,
but we all have these idiosyn-
crasies that combine together to
form the essential you. Believe
in that you.

Safebus provides unique service for students
ENTERTaINMENT
Revenge is sweet,
when justifable
Embracing idiosyncrasies forms individuals
cUlTURE
By Brett Salsbury
bsalsbury@kansan.com
In 2007, the Universitys
Student Senate initiated the
late-night transportation
program, SafeBus. In its fifth
year of existence, ridership has
exploded and the program has
become an integral contributor
to student nightlife activity.
Furthermore, SafeBus has
come to serve as an efficient
and, most important of all,
safe way for students to move
about Lawrence to and from
their homes as an alternative
to other methods of passage,
including drunk driving.
Many University students
spend their weekends enjoy-
ing their freedom by tempo-
rarily dismissing their sobri-
ety. These young adults either
acquire means for inebriation
or go out to places that already
have happy hour specials for
them.
Living in a moderately
large town with about 30,000
students, finding ways to get
from one corner to another in
Lawrence can be quite a daunt-
ing task, especially for those
who may need to negotiate
between Mt. Oread or Daisy
Hill. Before Safebus, students
had very limited options to
travel safely at night.
The apparent choices were
either to walk, drive, or have
someone else drive. Nothing
is wrong with any of these
choices if they are practiced
responsibly. While under-
age drinking is illegal and
shouldnt be practiced, the
fact of the matter is that as
young adults experiencing the
world their own for first time,
students are prone to make
dangerously unwise decisions
under intoxication. One may
decide to walk home alone
even though they are thor-
oughly intoxicated and are
unlikely to be able to handle
situations that may arise on
the poorly lit streets and side-
walks. Another person may
think that they can handle the
quick drive home despite their
impairment.
SafeBus is truly a fantas-
tic program because it offers
students a release from these
dilemmas. The University, as
well as the city, should be very
encouraged to see the grow-
ing use of a safe alternative
to drunk driving, and should
encourage its use. Similarly,
students who have developed
the habit of riding SafeBus and
Saferides spread the service to
others. The next time you go
out late at night and see stum-
bling students getting in the
drivers seat, or walking alone
across campus, yell out Dont
be foolish, use Safebus!

If you have a long dating his-
tory, you most likely have at
least some baggage. It can really
jade us. But what happens when
we take that baggage and use
revenge to cope? Is it always
juvenile, or can we justify it?
Revenge has such a negative
connotation. But when it fits the
crime, it isnt always so childish.
Its just another social action.
And I would know. Within
only the last two years, Ive seen
both sides of it. For example,
in 2009, a bitter ex revealed to a
new guy I was casually seeing
that he and I hooked up earlier
that month. But the new guy
and I werent exclusive, so my
exs act was in vain.
Then I took revenge into my
own hands this year over Spring
Break when I accidently told
a guy I was home in Wichita,
and he wasted no time in telling
me he had just bought a new
truck and suggested we go out
to the country some night and
hook up.
I imagined how disappoint-
ing the sex would have been, so
I passed.
I rejected him several times,
but even though he knew we
were both in relationships, he
kept going.
My girlfriend wont mind,
he told me. She doesnt have
to know.
After that moment, I decided
to tell his girlfriend everything
he said. I even included a screen
shot of the conversation at the
point where he said she wouldnt
care if he cheated.
He said she wouldnt mind.
I felt bad for his girlfriend
but good about myself. I loved
the satisfaction I felt for sticking
up for myself after years of his
behavior.
Despite it all, theyre still dat-
ing today. But wreaking havoc
on their relationship wasnt my
goal. I just wanted to show him I
wont tolerate his behavior.
The important thing to note
is that by no means did I violate
his rights through my actions.
And when we maintain that
standard, theres nothing wrong
with taking out revenge when
its due.
In fact, professor of psy-
chology Chris Crandall said,
Retaliation is an important
part of maintaining coopera-
tion people who cheat, defect,
or compete when they should
cooperate need to be punished,
or bad behavior will run ram-
pant. The key thing is that the
punishment be proportional
to the crime.
Though we often condemn
revenge, Im happy I did it
because I got what I wanted
out of it: he hasnt talked to me
since.
So with that both the guy from
home and I exhibited behavior
that the avenger thought was
inappropriate, and those acts of
revenge were just reactions to it.
Thus I can justify my act of
revenge. And I hate to say it, but
so can my ex.
Finally we must change the
way we perceive revenge. We
shouldnt think of it as juvenile
and unjustifiable. Sometimes its
the best way to express our-
selves. And when I carried it out
nine months ago, I wasnt sorry.
And that wasnt juvenile.
It was fearless.
And I dont regret anything.

A former Fort Leavenworth sol-
dier charged in the June robbery of
two University students received
probation and will pay restitution
to the victims afer his sentencing
in Douglas County District Court
Friday.
Brandon Huggins, 23, pleaded
guilty to a lesser charge of mis-
demeanor thef and received 12
months probation, minus the three
days and six hours jail time he had
already served. Te court also or-
dered Huggins to pay $30 in resti-
tution to each of the victims.
In the early morning hours of
June 23, Huggins and another sus-
pect, 21-year-old Michael Gerald,
were arrested minutes afer the
armed robbery of two students. Te
two victims were held at gunpoint,
told to take of their pants, and then
robbed of their wallets, cash and a
cell phone on Memorial Drive, west
of the Campanile.
Douglas County prosecutors
charged both suspects with two
cases of aggravated robbery, ag-
gravated intimidation of a witness
and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Gerald pleaded guilty to two counts
of robbery and was sentenced to 49
months in prison in October.
Huggins pleaded guilty to mis-
demeanor thef afer the victims
could not positively identify him,
but he admitted to using the vic-
tims stolen cash to purchase ciga-
rettes.
A bag containing marijuana was
originally seized from the suspects,
but prosecutors fled no charges in
connection with drugs.
As part of Huggins probation
he will not be allowed to leave the
state, or greater Kansas City area,
for more than 24 hours without the
written consent of his probation of-
fcer. Huggins must also submit to
random drug testing.
Huggins was eventually dis-
missed from the army following
the original charges, but may be
able to return with only a misde-
meanor charge.
Huggins made no comments
during his sentencing, but his attor-
ney, Sarah Swane, said she does not
believe her client has particularly
good feelings toward the military
afer he was stripped of his privi-
leges and not allowed to leave base
afer the charges were made.
Swane also said that the charges
have taken a serious toll on Hug-
gins life, but that he is currently
working and hopes to move on af-
ter his probation.
Huggins has family in North
Carolina. Swane told the judge he
may ask for permission to move
there during the course of his pro-
bation and report in by mail.

safety, as well as the environment,
Hennecke said.In recent years, food
health and safety issues as well as in-
creasing concerns about protecting
the environment have made buying
locally made a burgeoning trend,
Hennecke said.
People are wanting to deepen
their relationship with where their
food comes from, she said. And
theyre better understanding that
there is a strong correlation between
what you eat and what you are.
Depending on local food produc-
ers can be a problem for a store; the
quantity of food they can make is
not always enough to feed a local
population, and not all food items
are available through local produc-
ers. Tey might end up with fve
local hummus producers without
having any locally made yogurt,
said Hennecke. But the challenges
havent stopped Te Merc from
highlighting local products.
We purchased over $1 million in
local products last year, Hennecke
said. Tats money going directly
into the hands of local producers.
Teres a lot of economic beneft and
traceability.
Nolan Kappelman, vice-president
of KU Student Farm, agrees that lo-
cal food production plays an im-
portant role in local economies. KU
Student Farms works to educate stu-
dents, staf, faculty and community
members about growing their own
food and the importance role local
food plays in the community.
Kappelman said for every dollar
you spend on local products, $2.50
gets pumped back into the local
economy. But local producers efect
their communities in another, more
profound way.
Its just the value of food in our
society is lost, Kappelman said. We
dont really understand the true val-
ue of food and how much work goes
into making food. And thats some-
thing that local food opens people
up to the actual value of food.

four killed in crash of
small plane in colorado
sILVERTON, colo. all four people
aboard a small plane were killed when
it crashed in the southwest colorado
mountains, authorities said sunday.
The single-engine plane was fying
from Durango to aspen when it crashed
saturday afternoon. Local offcials say
the crash site was about 1 miles
north of silverton.
None of the victims names have
been released, and the cause of the
crash was unknown. The National
Transportation safety Board will inves-
tigate.
The socata TB-21 left Durango at
about 1:30 p.m. saturday. about 40
minutes later its emergency beacon
signal was detected near silverton, The
Denver post reported.
Bad weather cut short the search
on saturday. Temperatures in silverton
dipped to 4 degrees between saturday
night and sunday morning, and 8 to 10
inches of snow had fallen at the scene
after the crash, san Juan county Emer-
gency manager Kristina maxfeld said.
The plane crashed in a rugged,
heavily forested area up to 11,000 feet
above sea level, maxfeld told The as-
sociated press.
maxfeld said a search team reached
the crash site sunday and found two
bodies, which were being carried to
waiting vehicles. she and Federal avi-
ation administration spokesman mike
Fergus both confrmed to the ap that
there were no survivors.
Neither elaborated on how they
knew the other two people were dead,
but Fergus said the debris feld covered
1 miles.
It was unclear how long the search
for the other victims would continue
sunday because snowfall had resumed
and visibility was worsening, maxfeld
said.

KU Young Democrats has a new
president and is now reorganizing
for the 2012 elections. Members
of the group will travel to Osa-
watomie for President Obamas
visit Tuesday. According to Evan
Gates, the campus democrats
new president, the trip will be the
first event they have attended as a
group in years.
President Obama will speak
at Osawatomie High School at
1 p.m. Tuesday. Lines of people
formed early Saturday evening for
tickets being handed out at noon
Sunday, according to the Associ-
ated Press. Osawatomie is histori-
cally significant for presidential
speeches. Republican President
Theodore Roosevelt spoke there
in 1910, a year after he left the
presidency, calling for a new Na-
tionalism.
Gates, a junior from Wichita,
took over as president of the young
democrats about one month ago.
She said the groups membership
declined after the 2008 elections,
when the group counted more
than 50 members. There are about
10 regular members that compose
the group today.
KU Young Democrats is or-
ganizing meetings in the com-
ing weeks in an effort to attract
more students and they hope to
be active in the 2012 elections.
Gates said the challenges of orga-
nizing democrats in Kansas a
state dominated by a republican
electorate in recent years were
serious, but that the Lawrence
campus afforded the group an op-
portunity to make a difference.
Lawrence is really the only
blue dot in this red state, Gates
said. But that doesnt mean we
cant be a powerful voice and
challenge republican candidates.
Gates said that organizing stu-
dents on campus could have rip-
ple effects beyond Kansas in the
future. As students get involved in
politics on campus, they will take
that experience with them as they
graduate and move elsewhere.
Gates will be one of at least
five campus democrats to attend
the event. Gates said she expects
President Obama to talk about
the economy, and hopes he will
discuss his jobs plan and efforts
to extend a two percent reduction
in the payroll tax for all Ameri-
cans.
That applies to students,
Gates said. Because it applies to
you whether you make $2,000 a
year or $200,000.
KU Young Democrats held its
first meeting since the reorgani-
zation on Nov. 29. They are plan-
ning an informal gathering, open
to all, for Dec. 11, but have not
chosen a location yet, Gates said.

Kansas defeats south floRida 70-42
W
ith athletics director
Sheahon Zenger in the
midst of searching for
Turner Gills replacement, there are
other coaches that he should con-
sider fnding replacements for too.
Tere are three coaches that I
think are on the hot seat, but I dont
know if Zenger will pull the trigger
given the amount of money tied up
in the Gill buyout. Soccer coach
Mark Francis, volleyball coach Ray
Bechard and womens basketball
coach Bonnie Henrickson may also
be shown to the door.
MArk FrANcis
Francis just completed his 13th
season as soccer coach for Kansas,
guiding the Jayhawks to their frst
NCAA Tournament appearance
since 2008 and their ffh overall.
While getting to the tournament
should protect a coach, it may not
this time around.
Kansas played seven teams that
made the NCAA Tournament; four
of them were from the Big 12. Kan-
sas compiled a 2-5 record with vic-
tories against Texas and San Diego.
Add in a 7-2 thrashing from Florida
and those numbers should concern
Zenger. Te soccer team isnt com-
peting with better teams in the na-
tion.
From 2009 to 2011, the soccer
team is 29-30-3 overall and 8-20 in
conference play.
Verdict: Te Tournament berth
might keep him in the safe zone
this year.

rAy bEchArd
Bechard fnished his 14th season
as volleyball coach afer posting a
15-14 record overall and 3-13 in
conference play. Last season, Kansas
went 9-2 in non conference play and
went 8-2 in non conference play in
2009.
He is the only coach in program
history to lead the volleyball team to
the NCAA tournament, which he
did three straight times from 2003
to 2005, but he hasnt been back
since then. Te Jayhawks always
look promising before Big 12 play
starts, but then the wheels fall of.
Verdict: Zenger should look for
another option.

boNNiE hENricksoN
Henrickson is in her eighth sea-
son as coach of the Jayhawks. When
she arrived in 2004, Kansas was
coming of its fourth straight losing
season.
Te Jayhawks havent been to the
NCAA Tournament since 2000, but
have gone to NIT the previous four
seasons with an appearance in the
fnals in 2009. Under Henrickson,
Kansas has never fnished Big 12
play above .500. Its best season has
been 6-10, which it did twice, in
2009 and 2011.
Despite getting a three-year ex-
tension, which runs through the
2013-14 season, this is a big year for
Henrickson.
Verdict: If Kansas doesnt make
the NCAA Tournament and fn-
ish better than 9-9 in conference
play, Zenger will have a reason to
look for a new womens basketball
coach.

Teres a sickness going around
that drained the Jayhawks in Al-
len Fieldhouse on a misty Satur-
day afernoon.
Weve all got the crud, coach
Bill Self said afer the 70-42 vic-
tory over the University of South
Florida. I dont know if you guys
know, the cruds going around.
Te Jayhawks were sapped of
energy in the frst half, then revi-
talized by senior guard Tyshawn
Taylors 20 points in the second
half.
I think theres a little bug go-
ing around, junior forward Kevin
Young said. When I went to the
store last night I got the NyQuil.
Young, who may be feeling
the crud, said junior guard Tra-
vis Releford and freshmen guards
Naadir Tarpe and Merv Lindsay
were throwing up recently. Ju-
nior forward Tomas Robinson
said that he has been under the
weather the past couple of days.
Robinson fnished with 14 points
and 8 rebounds but snapped
his double-double streak of six
games. Self said several players
and a coach have missed practice
and visited Watkins Memorial
Health Center for head colds and
other symptoms.
Whether it was sickness or
poor shooting that impeded Kan-
sas early, Taylors ensuing domi-
nance broke the game open. He
hit four of six 3-point shots, cue-
ing the turnaround and extend-
ing the lead for the Jayhawks.
Tose 3-pointers were big
for us to take the lid of the goal,
Taylor said.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson
missed seven of eight shots in 20
minutes and watched from the
sideline as senior guard Conner
Teahan stepped into his place and
scored 11 points in 25 minutes.
He automatically becomes
defated very fast, Self said of
Johnson. Hes not impacting the
game in any way when things
dont go well early.
Te division of minutes may
derive from Self s need for Tea-
hans scoring, or act as a way to
inspire Johnson.
When Taylor wasnt hitting
shots, the Bulls stuck around but
never found a rhythm ofensively.
Robinson and junior center Jef
Withey protected the interior as
South Florida converted just 32.6
percent of their shots.
Te consistent defense paired
with Taylors scoring helped the
Jayhawks get past Saturdays mess
struck by the crud.
Our sickness had a little bit
something to do with it, Self said.
I dont think guys were all there
emotionally.

footballs most
i n n o v a t i v e
minds. He
appeared on
the Jayhawks
radar Sunday, as
ESPNs Joe Schad said on Twitter
that Malzahn had emerged as a
strong candidate at Kansas.
Paul Chryst: Chryst has been
the ofensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach at Wiscon-
sin since 2005.
Te Badgers
have gone 71-
21 in his fve
years. Chryst
has been a tight
ends coach in
the NFL and an
ofensive coor-
dinator at Oregon
State. In his second and fnal sea-
son with the Beavers, Chrysts of-
fense ranked 10th in the country.
Randy Shannon: A linebacker
in the NFL for fve years and a
coach in the
NFL for anoth-
er nine years,
Shannon would
bring a big
name to Kan-
sas. He was the
head coach at
Miami for four
years and was
fred afer going 28-22. He has not
coached since his 2010 fring.
Skip Holtz: A top candidate for
the job at Kansas when it was open
two years ago,
Holtz is once
again on the ra-
dar for Kansas.
Hes at South
Florida and has
gone 13-12 in
two years with
the Bulls. His
previous job
was at East Carolina, where he
went 38-27 in fve seasons.
ThE Guys FroM ThE
bEGiNNiNG
Larry Fedora: Ever since Mike
Leach came of the board early last
week, Fedora
has been the
Jayhawks most
likely choice.
He won 11
games at South-
ern Mississippi
this year, and
on Saturday his
Golden Eagles
upset an unde-
feated Houston team 49-28.
Dave Do-
eren: Doerens
Northern Illi-
nois team came
back from a
20-point defcit
at halfime to
win the Mid-
Atlantic Con-
ference Championship, defeating
Ohio 23-20. Doerens team went
10-3 this year his frst at North-
ern Illinois. He is a former defen-
sive coordinator at Kansas and is
thought of as a strong recruiter. His
loss to Turner Gills Kansas team
earlier in the year could hurt him.
Mark Stoops: Stoops coached
with Zenger for four years between
Wyoming and
South Florida.
Now, hes the
defensive co-
ordinator at
Florida State
and considered
to be one of the
top assistant
coaches in the
nation. His defense ranked sixth
in the country at Florida State this
year. He would bring a name to
Kansas, but his lack of experience
coaching could hurt him.

A
s the dust has mostly settled on con-
ference realignment in the Big 12,
nearly every angle of the different
schools moves have been beaten to death
athletics, academics, economics, etc.
However, an incredibly important conse-
quence of realignment has been largely and
irresponsibly ignored: the issue of mascot
environment.
We all know how comfortably or awk-
wardly TCU and West Virginias sports pro-
grams or fans might fit in with other Big 12
schools, as well as what the conference has
lost or gained by Missouri and Texas A&Ms
departure.
But what about the furry/bearded/bumpy/
terrifying mascots that symbolize everything
that the school stands for? Are they a good fit
for the Big 12?
First of all, West Virginia brings a very pecu-
liar mascot to the Big 12 with the Mountaineer.
With the departure of Colorado, the only Big
12 member situated anywhere close to a
mountain range, does the Mountaineer have
any place in this conference?
Probably not, but dollars drive realignment,
not mascot comfort, so both the Mountaineer
and his new Big 12 companions will have to
adjust.
It seems very likely that the Mountaineer
will find himself completely out of sorts in
the flatlands of the Midwest, especially with
the equipment he must carry around. His
large wooden rifle will be no match for Pistol
Petes fast draw, and itll be a miracle if he can
survive the heat of football season in Texas
with that thick furry racoon-skin hat and
bushy beard he has.
If West Virginia wants any chance of being
taken seriously in the Big 12, the Mountaineer
will have to carefully consider a wardrobe
more suited for prairies than the highlands
of the Big East.
On the other hand, its doubtful that any
mascot will have better home field advan-
tage than the Mountaineer. Yes, Colorado
had the advantage of high elevation, but
Ralphie the Buffalo wasnt nearly nimble
enough to take advantage of the terrain.
Texas lethargic longhorn was probably just
as suited for the landscape.
The Mountaineer, on the other hand,
will completely outmatch mascots like Iowa
States Cyclone or Oklahomas wagon-bound
Sooner in the highlands. Bruiser the Bear
from Baylor may be the only mascot suited
to take on the Mountaineer.
TCU, on the other hand, brings a much
more bizarre mascot with the Horned Frog,
technically named SuperFrog. Unimaginative
name aside, a quick Google search reveals
that the first problem with SuperFrog is that
hes actually a horned lizard, and not a frog
at all. Horned frogs actually live in South
America and Asia nowhere close to Texas.
And while the symbol of a small, quirky
reptile that can shoot blood out of its eyes
may fit TCUs former status as a powerful
football school in an insignificant conference,
it may find itself outmatched facing hardened
big-time mascots like Big Jay and Texas Techs
Red Raider.
Its probably a safe bet, however, that Willie
the Wildcat will lose his head (which consti-
tutes all of his mascot-ness) should SuperFrog
ever pull his blood-squirting move.

Kansas City ends four-game losing streak
ASSocIAtED PRESS
CHICAGO Jay Cutler was
lost two weeks ago after breaking
his thumb. On Sunday, the Chicago
Bears watched with a sickening
feeling as star running back Matt
Forte walked gingerly into the tun-
nel with a knee injury in the first
quarter.
So, what else can happen to a
team still clinging to its playoff
hopes?
Its not a running back. Its
Matt Forte, star linebacker Brian
Urlacher said after 10-3 loss to
Kansas City.
Without Cutler and then for
most of the day Sunday without
Forte, who has a sprained right
knee, the offense for the Bears
(7-5) really began to wobble. And
the result was sort of ugly.
Nothing went well for the Bears
during the dismal home-field
performance.
The Bears only points came on
a 32-yarder by Gould after an
illegal formation call on Chicago
wiped out a TD pass from backup
quarterback Caleb Hanie to Marion
Barber.
In the fourth quarter, Hanie
found the range on four straight
completions and it appeared the
Bears were finally on their way to
a touchdown.
But Hanies very catchable pass to
Roy Williams in traffic went off the
receivers hands, hit a Chiefs defend-
er and Kansas Citys Jon McGraw
picked it off in the end zone.
Dont blame one guy for this
loss, Bears coach Lovie Smith said.
We had a big say in what happened
today. ... Caleb was part of it. Caleb
needs to make improvements like
we all do and we all will.
Chicagos defense gave up the
games lone TD on a pass from
Tyler Palko to Dexter McCluster
on the final play of the first half.
Both Urlacher and safety Chris
Conte went up to bat the ball
down, but instead knocked it right
to McCluster.
We knocked it down. Chris and
I, we both hit it. I dont know if it
went straight down or it went back-
ward. I guess I should have caught
it or tried to, but its just not what
we do. Ive never done that. So I
just try to knock it down.
The Chiefs (5-7) ended their four-
game losing streak. Who knows if
the quarterback debate is over.
Kansas City got a 21-yard field
goal from Ryan Succop in the third
quarter to make it a seven-point
game. And Justin Houston had
three sacks for a K.C. defense that
hounded Hanie most of the day.
Forte, third in the NFL in rush-
ing entering the game, took a hit
to the right knee from Derrick
Johnson on a run for no gain deep
in Chicago territory with 6 minutes
left in the first period.
Its not a good feeling when you
see your star tailback go down with
a knee injury, Smith said. Part of
the game. Well just keep our fin-
gers crossed and hopefully its not
that serious.

Te three-day Mizzou Invite

concluded with the Jayhawk swim-
mers and divers taking third place
as a team. Along with that, the in-
dividuals sped toward personal best
records to cap the event.
Kansas swimmers and divers fn-
ished the Mizzou Invite with 604
points combined, fnishing behind
only Boise State (819 points) and
host Missouri (999 points).
Te Jayhawks rode a school re-
cord breaking performance by
sophomore Morgan Sharp in the 500
freestyle on Tursday. Sharp swam
a 4:48.01 time as she surpassed the
old record of 4:48.77, that was pre-
viously set by Gina Gnatzig in 2006,
and won the event.
Sharp wasnt out looking to break
any records but she felt good during
the race and went afer it.
I wasnt looking to break it at this
meet, or any time. I wasnt thinking
about it. But I felt good during my
race and I just went for, Sharp said.
I hit the wall and saw my time, then
Clark told me I got it. It still hasnt
hit me that I broke it.
Coach Clark Campbell was sur-
prised by the record falling, espe-
cially this early in the season.
It doesnt happen too ofen to
have a record fall this early in the
season, but Morgan just did an awe-
some job, Campbell said in a press
release. We have been working with
her and tweaked her stroke a bit and
she has taken to it really well.
Sharps teammates werent going
to be overshadowed as fve of them
set personal best performances in
the pool on the opening day. Senior
Sarah Hettenbach set her personal
best in the 50-yard freestyle, 24.28.
While her fellow senior teammate,
Abigail Anderson reached her fast-
est time in the 100 butterfy, 53.39.
Freshman Caroline Patterson,
sophomore Alison Moft and ju-
nior Svetlana Golovchun also set
personal best records. Patterson
fnished with a time of 2:08.66 time
in the 200 IM. Moft, a sophomore,
got her new mark in the 100 butter-
fy with a 4:56.24 and a tenth place
fnish in the fnals of the 500 free-
style. Te junior transfer Golovchun
continues her strong performances,
as she set her mark in the 50 free
with a 23.06 time.
Sharp and senior captain Stepha-
nie Payne said hard work the reason
why the number of personal best re-
cords were set.
Hard work, training and lifing
and along with having fast swim-
mers there, we had to be at our best,
Payne said.
On the opening day, the Jayhawks
came out strong with 120 team
points and used it to push the mo-
mentum through the next two days
of competition. Payne had the only
frst place fnish on Friday as she
won the 400 individual medley with
a time of 4:18.44.
I thought today was a tale of two
sessions, Campbell said in a Friday
release. Te frst session we swam
really well of the momentum we
created on Tursday, but tonights
fnal session I feel we took a step
back.
Brittany Rospierski, junior, had a
strong outing on Friday in the 100
breaststroke with a time of 1:03.97.
Sharp followed up her record
breaking Tursday performance
with an 11th place fnish in the 200
freestyle.
On the fnal day of the invitation-
al, fnished on a high note as they six
top fve places, with the relay team
fnishing in third place.
Brooke Brull, junior, highlighted
the Saturday showing by placing
frst in the 200 backstroke in a time
of 1:59.49. Freshman teammate
Deanna Marks had a sensational
showing as she fnished seventh in
the 200 backstroke (2:02.60) and a
fourth place fnish in the 200 but-
terfy (2:02.69).
Christy Cash, a junior diver, also
had a good last day as she compiled
a third place fnish in the platform
dive with a score of 216.30.
Anderson had another good out-
ing as she recorded a third place
fnish in 200 backstroke (1:59.89).
Golovchun also continued to swim
hard as she took ffh in the 100
freestyle (50.45). Te relay team of
Golovchun, Anderson, Brull and
Sharp fnished third as the invita-
tional wound to a close.
It seems like everybody on the
team is walking away from this
weekend with at least a couple
swims that they are going to be re-
ally happy with, Campbell said.
Not only are the swimmer and
divers walking away with many per-
sonal bests, but as a team they are
in better condition than they were
a year ago.
Afer this weekend, were at a
better spot than we were last year
at the Georgia Invitational, Payne
said. With more rest, itll set us up
for the Big 12 and the end of Febru-
ary.
Te Jayhawks will have some
time to get healthy as they wait until
the new year to see the pool again as
they travel to the warm weather of
Mayaguez, Puerto Rico for a week-
long training trip.

KANSAS 70, SOUTh FLORi DA 42
Notes
With 14 points but just eight rebounds, Thomas Robinson failed to extend his
double-double streak to seven games.
The Jayhawks are now 42-6 all-time in games broadcast on ESpN2.
Through seven games this season, Kansas has yet to trail at the half.
The Jayhawk bench was outscored for the ffth time this season.
First halF
11:02 hugh Robertson fnds an open Victor Rudd who knocks down the open
3-pointer from the wing, giving South Florida the 10-8 lead.
6:35 After Augustus Gilchrist misses a chance to extend the South Florida lead,
Elijah Johnson connects on a 3-pointer to give Kansas the 17-15 lead. The Bulls would
not lead the rest of the game.
3:35 Augustus Gilchrist tips in an offensive rebound to tie the game at 19 just
before the fnal tv timeout of the half.
0:05 Anthony Collins snatches the ball from KU guard Naadir Tharpe in the waning
seconds of the half. he races down court but his dunk is a split second too late and
ruled no good. Kansas takes a 24-21 lead to the locker room.

second halF
18:20 Thomas Robinson grabs a steal near the low block, passes up to Tyshawn
Taylor who fnishes with an acrobatic lay-up and is fouled. USF coach Stan health calls
a timeout. 30-21 Kansas.
12:18 With a chance to extend the Kansas lead, Tyshawn Taylor loses the ball and it
eventually leads to a hugh Robertson dunk. South Florida cuts the lead to fve, 36-31.
10:17 After a South Florida jump shot gets the Bulls within eight, Conner Teahan
connects on a 3-pointer to give the Jayhawks a 44-33 lead. South forida calls a full
timeout to quiet the crowd.
7:18 With under eight minutes to play and South Florida still hanging around down
14, Thomas Robinson grabs a steal and passes up to a streaking Conner Teahan. he
fnds Travis Releford who fnishes with a layup and the Jayhawks continue to extend
their lead the fnal seven minutes.
PAGe 4b The uNiveRsiTy DAily KANsAN mONDAy, DecembeR 5, 2011 mONDAy, DecembeR 5, 2011 PAGe 5b
Kansas coach Bill Self has harped
on better guard play for much of
this seven-game season. Excluding
senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor,
no returning guard averages than 14
minutes per game in a season. Fel-
low starters, junior guards Elijah
Johnson and Travis Releford, as well
as reserve 3-point specialist Conner
Teahan, have played fewer minutes
in Kansas uniform than Taylor. With
that experience advantage over his
teammates, its understandable when
Taylor takes the Jayhawk ofense into
his own hands, much like he did in
the second half in the 70-42 victory
against South Florida Saturday afer-
noon.
He had 20 second-half points to
help Kansas pull away from a pesky
South Florida team that was within
three points at the break.
He was the best player in the sec-
nd half, Self said. I hate that were
relying on him to score that much,
but when youre shooting the ball
like he did tonight, that was a big
positive for us.
Taylor fnished with 24 points,
two shy of his career high. He passed
up the chance to do that on a break-
away, instead shoveling the ball of to
junior forward Tomas Robinson for
a dunk. He jokingly said that he just
would have tied his career-high, so
it was okay.
No, I wasnt paying attention to
that. It wasnt even my focus, he said,
all kidding aside. But he found room
for one more joke regarding the fast
break. I saw that he only had eight
or nine points or something like that,
so I just gave it up, he said.
Taylors ofensive explosion
seemed to mask an unfattering per-
formance from Johnson, who was 1
for 8 from behind the 3-point line
and fnished with fve points.
It looks to me that with Elijah,
he has good intentions to play well,
Self said. And when he doesnt play
well he automatically becomes very
defated fast, which is really a bad
sign.
Self added that Taylor is too good
of a player for those kind of perfor-
mances and the poor shooting isnt
the main reason for the sometimes
sluggish outputs.
If your whole game is based on
playing well if you make shots, then
youre probably not a complete play-
er, Self said. He is a complete play-
er. He can do a lot of things, and hes
not impacting the game in any way
when things dont go well early.

points bailed out an average effort from the rest of the
offense. Coach Bill Self wants Taylor to become more of a
distributor and his frst half was slow like the rest of the
Jayhawks, but its hard to complain with the second-half
turnaround. Taylors long summer of shooting sculpted him
into one of the teams best from deep. Now he just needs to
maintain the pace.

Junior forward Thomas Robinson grabbed this many
rebounds; two shy of 10 and his seventh consecutive
double-double.

Teahan, 25 minutes played, stepped in for
Johnson, 20 minutes played. Johnsons start-
ing spot may not be in jeopardy yet, but that
could change.
Thats how many rebounds junior forward Kevin Young
grabbed in just fve minutes played. Not bad for a guy who
may have been feeling the crud.

Junior guard Elijah Johnson
Johnson fnds himself in this spot for two consecutive
games. Senior guard Conner Teahan came off the bench
and played most of the second half in Johnsons place. After
zero points and seven turnovers against Florida Atlantic
University, Johnson missed seven of nine from the feld and,
according to Self, failed to keep focus in the game. Johnson
hasnt played at his best when the rest of the team is
struggling, helping contribute to several scoring droughts.

Sophomore guard Keena Mays goes in for a layup against Alabama on Sunday. Mays led the team with a career-high 21 points. Kansas lost to Alabama, 80-76.
Four clutch 3-pointers from
sophomore guard Keena Mays
kept the Jayhawks close, but it was
still not enough to rally a victory
as Kansas lost 80-76 to Alabama
on the road.
Mays hit her fnal three with
just nine second lef in the game
to bring the Jayhawks within two
points. She fnished with a career-
high 21 points highlighted by 4 of
6 shoots from beyond the arc.
Tats where she is a play-
maker, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said.
Mays hit the game-winning
shot against Wake Forest on their
frst road test.
I know my team especially
needs me on away games, Mays
said. It feels good.
Mays played with a shooting
sleeve afer hyper-extending her
elbow a week ago against Florida
Atlantic in the fnal day of the Bas-
ketball Travelers Classic.
Alabamas Meghan Perkins hit
two free throws to seal the game.
Both teams had uncharacteristic
days from the line. Alabama shot
75 percent from the line afer
shooting 60 percent in their frst
eight games.
Below average free-throw shoot-
ing hurt the Jayhawks, as they shot
only 47.1 percent. Tey were 8 of
17 despite shooting 72 percent for
the season before this game.
We were just a bad free-throw
shooting team today, Mays said.
Kansas had the opportunity for
13 free throws in the second half,
but was only able to convert six.
We were kind of kicking our-
selves for that, Davis said. We
were looking at all the diferent
things that were key to us not be-
ing able to pull a win out. Tat was
one of them.
Senior forward Aishah Suther-
land carried the Jayhawks early
scoring the frst six points of
the game. She fnished with 15
points.
Kansas scoring was balanced
between the guards and forward,
as Mays and junior forward Caro-
lyn Davis each contributed 21 to
lead their contingents. Davis tied
her season-high afer shooting 9 of
15 from the feld.
Kansas has relied on the post for
scoring for much of the year, cen-
tered on Davis who was recently
named to the Wooden Award Ear-
ly Season Watch List.
Te Jayhawks scored 38 points
in the paint, but struggled to de-
fend the Crimson Tide as they
scored 48. Kansas also lost the re-
bounding battle on both ends and
fnished with 35 compared to 42
from Alabama.
Early on it was a lot of pres-
sure, Davis said. Tey were in a
power post defense. It was hard to
get the ball inside, but it started to
wear down and they were able to
get it into me.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich
helped pace the Jayhawks with 12
assists and nine rebounds as she
played all 40 minutes for Kansas.
Tis was her third game of the sea-
son with double digit assists. Goo-
drich also drew three charges.
She is the littlest guy on the
court in the middle of the lane
mixing it up with everybody,
Henrickson said. Her toughness
today was of the charts.
Kansas started the game with
turnovers on the frst two pos-
sessions. Turnovers continued to
cause a problem for the Jayhawks
who tallied 11 in the frst half.
Tey fnished the game with 16
turnovers.
Te Jayhawks will take a day of
and return to practice on Tuesday.
Kansas sufered its frst loss of the
season and will look to recover
when they host Wisconsin at 7
p.m. on Tursday.

All season the Wildcats relied on their defense to win games.
After a 26-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back John
Hubert gave the Wildcats a seven-point lead with 3:29 left, the
Wildcats would once again count on a defensive stop to give them
a victory. The defense came through, forcing a fumble on fourth
and two as the Wildcats won their 10th game of the season. Junior
quarterback Collin Klein threw for 158 yards and one touchdown
on the day, but he completed only seven of his 15 passes, with the
bulk of his yards coming on a 68-yard touchdown pass in the first
quarter.

The Longhorn offense could not keep up with the Baylor
onslaught led by junior quarterback Robert Griffin III and senior
running back Terrance Ganaway. Griffin threw for 320 yards and
two touchdowns and Ganaway ran for 152 yards and two more
scores. Longhorn sophomore quarterback Case McCoy entered
the game without having thrown an interception all season, but he
came out and threw four on the day. The Longhorns finished the
game with six turnovers, compared to just one for the Bears, as
they went on to lose their fifth game in Big 12 play.

For the frst time since 2002, Oklahoma State defeated in-state
rival Oklahoma. Te victory also gave the Cowboys their frst Big
12 championship since the conference formed in 1996. Te Cow-
boys jumped out to a 24-0 lead before freshman kicker Michael
Hunnicutt put the Sooners on the board with a 48-yard feld goal.
Sophomore running back Joseph Randle ran for 151 yards and two
touchdowns, sophomore running back Jeremy Smith added 119

to be included in the BCS championship game.
STILLWATER, Okla. Mike
Gundy didnt feel comfortable cam-
paigning for No. 3 Oklahoma State
to play for the national title until his
Cowboys had at least won a confer-
ence crown.
His team made a better case than
anything he could have ever said.
Joseph Randle ran for 151 yards
and two touchdowns, Richetti Jones
returned a fumble for a score and
No. 3 Oklahoma State throttled No.
13 Oklahoma 44-10 Saturday night
to win the Big 12 championship and
make its case to play for the BCS
national title.
I dont think theres any question
Oklahoma State should play in the
big game, Gundy said.
The Cowboys (11-1, 8-1 Big
12) snapped an eight-game losing
streak in the Bedlam rivalry and
won their first outright conference
title since 1948 in the three-team
Missouri Valley.
Oklahoma States defense, bad-
mouthed much of the season while
giving up big yardage but leading
the nation in takeaways, forced the
Sooners (9-3, 6-3) into five turn-
overs four of them by quarter-
back Landry Jones.
Fans started chanting L-S-U!
midway through the fourth quarter
with the victory well in hand, then
stormed the field and tore down the
goal posts when it was over.
The top-ranked Tigers could be
next up for the Pokes, but only with
a boost in the BCS standings due
out Sunday night.
If thats the way it works out,
absolutely. We took care of what
we could take care of, quarterback
Brandon Weeden said. We had to
worry about us and control what
we could control, and if we were
able to do that, we were conference
champs.
While the top-ranked Tigers won
the SEC championship Saturday to
lock up a spot in the BCS title game,
No. 2 Alabama sat at home idle
after finishing second in its division.
Oklahoma State, meanwhile, proved
itself the best team in its state and its
conference. But its up to the voters,
who had the Cowboys fifth in the
coaches poll and Harris poll, to
decide whether Oklahoma State will
play for the highest stakes.
Gundy proclaimed earlier
this week that he considered the
Crimson Tide to be the second-best
team in the nation right now
but thats what he thought his team
needed to hear at the time.
I have to make that decision
and I wasnt raised that way. Im
not comfortable standing up and
beating our chests and saying that
we needed to play somebody when
we hadnt even won this game,
Gundy said.
That was what we were tell-
ing the team in here every day. ...
I said, Look, Im not going to go
stand up and say we need to go play
somebody else until you guys beat
Oklahoma.
Afterward, he proclaimed on
the field that theres no question
Oklahoma State should be No. 2
right now.
The honest answer is we didnt
deserve it. We do now, Gundy said.
And if wed have won this game
17-14, I dont know if Id have said
it. ... When you win by 34 points, we
deserve the right.
The Cowboys won over at least
one voter: Sooners coach Bob
Stoops said hed put them at No. 2
on his ballot.
Im sure theyre going to have
some great opportunities from
here, Stoops said. I dont know
what will happen.
For most of the 107 years of the
Bedlam rivalry, the Sooners had
the better team and more on the
line. But each of the past two years,
Oklahoma came in with a lower
ranking and still found a way to
derail a couple of the best teams in
Oklahoma State history.

Former Brazilian captain soccer star dies at 57
a student of
Leachs could
seriously be
considered at
Kansas. He was
an ofensive co-
ordinator at Ari-
zona and Texas
Tech and is now
in his second year coaching at Loui-
siana Tech. His team went 8-4 this
season, afer going 5-7 his frst year.
He has Texas connections, a must
when recruiting to Kansas.
Brent Venables: Venables has
been a defensive coach at Oklahoma
and is widely
considered to be
one of footballs
top defensive
coaches. Hes
been the defen-
sive coordinator
for the Sooners
since 2004 and
was rumored to
be a candidate at
Kansas three years ago when they
hired Turner Gill.
Dave Christensen: Rumored to
have been inter-
viewed for the
job by Zenger,
Christensen has
ties to the region
as he coached at
Missouri for 16
seasons. He was
the ofensive
coordinator at
Missouri for 11 of
those years and is now in his third
season at Wyoming. His teams at
Wyoming have gone 18-19 and the
Cowboys went 8-4 this season.
LikeLihood Ranking:
1. Larry Fedora (previously
ranked: 1) A top choice for the
North Carolina job as well, Fedora
could be pulled away by another
school. Kansas wants him, but the
price may be too high.
2. Gus Malzahn (previously
ranked: N/A) Also a candidate for
the North Carolina job, Malzahn
could easily end up at a new school
next year. He was the weekends hot
name for Kansas.
3. Dave Doeren (previously
ranked: 6) Doerens ties to Kan-
sas make him an obvious and easy
choice for the job. Kansas can get
him if they want him.
4. Mark Stoops (previously
ranked: 3) Stoops could be a top
choice for Zenger. A lack of experi-
ence could hurt him.
5. Sonny Dykes (previously
ranked: 4) Dykes is a hot name for
Kansas. Reports are that he is work-
ing on getting a contract extension
at Louisiana Tech.
6. Brent Venables (previously
ranked: 2) Venables was a popular
name early, but has since fallen of.
His defense at Oklahoma struggled
this season.
7. Paul Chryst (previously
ranked: N/A) Chryst is a new name,
but is one to keep a close watch on.
Hes had success at Wisconsin and
is well thought of in the coaching
community.
8. Dave Christensen (previously
ranked: 9) Christensen has report-
edly interviewed with Zenger and is
a dark-horse candidate for the job.
He has ties to the region and it makes
sense for Zenger to look at one of his
former schools, Wyoming.
9. Randy Shannon (previously
ranked: N/A) Shannon would be a
big name for Zenger to reel in. He
may be a bit of a stretch at this point,
though.

SAO PAULO On and of the
feld, former Brazil star Socrates
stood out above the rest.
His elegant style and his deep in-
volvement with politics made him
a unique fgure in Brazilian soccer,
setting him apart from the players
of his time and even of today.
He was mostly known for cap-
taining Brazil at the 1982 World
Cup, regarded by many as the best
team ever not to win footballs
showcase tournament.
But he was also widely known
for his heavy drinking, which
he publicly admitted caused the
health problems which eventually
helped lead to his death on Sun-
day.
Te Albert Einstein hospital said
in a statement that Socrates died of
septic shock at 4:30 a.m. Brazilian
time (0630 GMT). He was 57.
Socrates had been rushed to the
hospital on Saturday the third
time in four months and had
been in critical condition in an in-
tensive care unit with an intestinal
infection. He was breathing with
the help of a ventilator.
Socrates was twice hospitalized
and placed in intensive care in the
last few months, most recently in
September. Both times he was ad-
mitted for a hemorrhage caused
by high pressure in the vein that
carries blood from the digestive
system to the liver.
Socrates never denied his fond-
ness for drinking from the time he
was a player in the 1980s, but said
he stopped drinking earlier this
year afer his stints in the hospital.
Socrates seemed like a player
from another era, former Italy
forward Paolo Rossi told the
ANSA news agency. You couldnt
place him in any category on
the pitch and even more so of it.
Everyone knew about his degree
in medicine and he had a lot of
cultural and social interests as
well. He was unique from every
point of view.
Indeed, Socrates was like no
other on and of the feld. He be-
came a doctor afer retiring from
football and later became a popu-
lar TV commentator and colum-
nist, always with unique and con-
troversial opinions.
Since his playing days, Socrates
never kept his political ideas to
himself and ofen wrote about the
subject in his columns. Known as
Dr. Socrates because of his prac-
tice of medicine, he was constantly
in demand from local media for
interviews on varied subjects.
While with Brazilian club Cor-
inthians, Socrates spearheaded a
movement called the Corinthians
Democracy, in which players pro-
tested against the long periods of
confnement required by the club
before matches. It quickly became
a broader protest that coincided
with Brazils fght to overturn a
military regime in the 1980s.
Te clever, tall full-bearded
playmaker also was a member
of the Brazilian squad in 1986 in
Mexico, but it was in 1982 in Spain
that he made history with Brazil,
which is known to have had one
of the greatest teams in World
Cup history but failed to win the
trophy. With players like Zico and
Falcao, it fell to Italy 3-2 in the
second round
despite needing
only a draw to
advance to the
semifnals.
He was a very
dynamic player
with a sublime
foot but most of
all great intel-
ligence, added
Rossi, who scored a memorable
hat trick against Brazil in that
match. Along with Zico and Fal-
cao he was the symbol of that Bra-
zil squad.
Dozens of Brazilian footballers
expressed their sadness on Twitter
moments afer Socrates death was
announced.
Sad start to the day, retired
Brazil striker Ronaldo wrote. Rest
in peace Dr. Socrates.
Former Brazil and Barcelona
playmaker Rivaldo added on his
Twitter page: Sad to wake up and
fnd out that Socrates has died.
Reaction came from those out-
side of football, too, including
three-time French Open cham-
pion Gustavo Kuerten and three-
time Indy 500 winner Helio Cas-
troneves.
Great guy, Castroneves tweet-
ed. A Brazilian who will be greatly
missed.
Te Brazilian football federa-
tion said the fnal round of the
Brazilian league
on Sunday will
be played in So-
crates honor.
All matches will
be preceded by
a minute of si-
lence. Corinthi-
ans, the team
that featured
Socrates at the
height of his career, needs a draw
against rival Palmeiras to win the
title. Corinthians main fan group
said it will honor its former star
throughout the day.
Fiorentina, another of Socrates
former clubs, held a minute of si-
lence and players wore black arm-
bands in his honor in Sundays
Italian league match with Roma.
Socrates wrote a series of col-
umns for Te Associated Press
during the 2011 Copa America in
Argentina, expressing his views
on all aspects of the tournament,
including economic and political
issues in Latin America.
Its not just about the game
itself, Socrates said before the
competition began. Before any-
thing, (football) is a psychological
battle, the human aspect plays a
signifcant role.
Socrates, whose full name is
Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de
Souza Vieira de Oliveira, starred
for Corinthians in the early 1980s,
but he also played for Flamengo
and Santos, as well as Fiorentina
in Italy.
Socrates was included in FIFAs
list of the best 125 living soccer
players in the world, a list com-
piled by countryman Pele. So-
crates played 63 matches with the
national team, scoring 25 goals.
He was known for his great vi-
sion on the feld. Always clever
with the ball at his feet, his trade-
mark move was the back-heel
pass, and he set up and scored
many goals with it throughout his
career.
Socrates briefy coached and
played for Garforth Town in Eng-
land in 2004.
Socrates younger brother Rai
was another great Brazilian mid-
felder, and he helped Brazil win
the 1994 World Cup in the United
States.
Funeral services will take place
in his home town of Ribeirao
Preto, in the interior of Sao Paulo
state.
He is survived by his wife and
six children.

Kansas track and field broke in
upgraded facilities while also hon-
oring a former legend Friday.
In addition to a newly installed
track, the field inside the track at
Anschutz Pavilion also received a
new surface, while a new score-
board allows runners to look
up and see their time right after
crossing the finish line.
Kansas athletes performed well
on both surfaces, as 15 Jayhawks
won events. Races were paused
for a moment as Bob Timmons,
the former Kansas coach who won
three national championships, was
honored for his induction into
the USA Track and Field Hall of
Fame.
In the first race of the day,
junior Natalie Becker won the
womens 3,000-meter race.
It feels good, Becker said.
This is a new track, so it was neat
that I got to be in the very first
race out there.
Senior Donny Wasinger made a
strong recovery from an Achilles
injury that kept him out for all of
the cross country season by win-
ning the mens 3,000-meter race.
Wasinger was also a member of
the winning distance medley team
with sophomores Alex Hermes,
Nick Seckfort and Conner Day.
Junior Francine Simpson won
the 60-meter dash with a time
of 7.63 seconds. She also won
the long jump competition with a
jump of 6.16 meters.
I think its a great start for the
indoor season, Simpson said. Im
happy that I won.
Sophomore Brendan Soucie
won the mile race with a time of
4:21.68.
I was just trying to come
through pretty controlled for the
first 800, Soucie said. That third
lap I was trying to separate as
much as possible, and that last
400 is just anything you have left
youve just got to give.
In the 4x400-meter relay, the
Jayhawks won titles in both the
mens and womens race. With a
time of 3:46.85, the womens relay
team won by almost eight seconds.
Freshman Alisha Keys looked
good in her first indoor track meet
as the relays anchor. She ran after
juniors Taylor Washington and
Denesha Morris and senior Shayla
Wilson.
Its my first time really run-
ning the 4x400, so I was pretty
nervous. Keys said.
The winning mens 4x400 meter
relay team consisted of freshmen
Michael Stigler and Kenneth
McCuin, junior Dominique
Manley and senior Kyle Clemons.
Its a great feeling having a
big crowd come in today and just
everything was great. Clemons
said.
