Halloweekend is around the corner, and students
are rushing to fnd the perfect costume and party
plans.
Tere are several opportunities for students to at-
tend Halloween-themed events on- and of-campus.
From pumpkin patches to a huge Halloween show
by EOTO at the Granada, everyone can fnd some
fun way to celebrate.
Carolina Gutierrez, a sophomore from Broom-
feld, Colo., plans on dressing up as the girls from
Toddlers and Tiaras with her friends. She said they
bought tutus and sashes and plan on topping it of
with glitter.
Connor Bellomy, a sophomore from Austin, Tex-
as, plans on reliving his childhood by dressing up as
Spiderman. He bought silly string cans and plans on
having them tied to his wrists for his spider webs.
I cant wait because Im going to be shooting peo-
ple with my webs all night, Bellomy said.
Various events will be happening on campus and
throughout Lawrence to celebrate one of the most
popular holidays in the country.
PumPkin Patch
Schaakes Pumpkin Patch, located on North 1500
Road, has pumpkins to pick straight of the vine,
free hayrides and a hay maze, all creating a family-
friendly atmosphere. Downtown Lawrence will be
having its annual trick-or-treat beginning Hallow-
een at 5 p.m.

Merriam-Webster defnes the word macabre as
having death as a subject, dwelling on the gruesome,
and tending to produce horror in a beholder. For
those looking for a real-world example, the Macabre
Cinema haunted house in Kansas City, Mo., fts this
defnition perfectly.
Although its designed as a 1930s theater, this isnt
your typical Friday night movie scene.
You enter just like youre going to a movie and then
when youre inside the theater, you see the scary movie
playing on the screen and pass through a slit in the
screen, said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, vice president
of Full Moon Productions. You actually become part
of the movie.
Te Cinema attempts to bring to life the action of
favorite horror classics. Te four foors of the attrac-
tion feature more than 30 scenes and sets, including
the real movie sets of Hellraiser, Te Scorpion King
macabre cinema house
reenacts horror movies
Lawrence offers plenty of festivities for the spooky holiday

LORDSTOWN, Ohio
President Barack Obamas deci-
sion to help Americas automakers
could end up being what helps
drive him back into the White
House.
Some 850,000 jobs in this critical
battleground state are tied to autos
and Obamas campaign constantly
reminds voters theyd be jobless if
not for the decision to inject tax-
payer dollars into General Motors
and Chrysler.
However, the move has not
translated into automatic sup-
port for the president, even in
areas that depend on the industry.
Republican Mitt Romney also is
pitching these voters hard with
his message that Obama hasnt
balanced Washingtons checkbook
the same way voters must.
One in
eight jobs
in Ohio can
be linked
to the auto
i n d u s t r y
whether
its working
on a fac-
tory floor
or selling
g r oc e r i e s
to plant workers. The presidential
races outcome could boil down to
whether voters interpret Obamas
move as saving Detroit or bailing
it out. But like other flashpoints in
this rough campaign, there is little
middle ground between the ver-
sions of events and what it means
for voters neigh-
bors.
I couldnt
imagine what
L o r d s t o w n
would be, said
Brian Axiotis,
a 37-year-old
Obama support-
er who works in
information tech-
nology and lives in nearby Newton
Falls. A lot of folks would lose
their houses. Consider the mess
that would have resulted. Itd be a
ghost town all over the area.
Since its restructuring, the
General Motors plant in this
town of 4,000 people southeast
of Cleveland has added a third
shift and 1,200 new workers
with it to produce the popular
compact Chevy Cruze. GM has
pledged $220 million in updates to
the factory and to keep the 4,500
workers, suggesting this town in
the former steel-heavy Mahoning
Valley has some stability ahead.
Romney volunteer Frank
Perrotta still finds Obamas deci-
sion to loan automakers billions a
misuse of public dollars.
Between calls to voters at
Romneys office in Stow, he shakes
his head when talking about the
governments move to prevent
the collapse of GM and Chrysler.
The bailout began in 2008 under
Republican George W. Bush and
Obama extended it.
I have to run my business
responsibly. No one is coming to
bail me out if I get into trou-
ble, said Perrotta, a 63-year-old
Hudson resident who runs a med-
ical imaging business that employs
nine workers. The bailout was
just not fair.

Lexie Clark, a senior from Fort
Collins, Colo., vividly remembers
her parents strong support of Bob
Dole in the 1996 presidential elec-
tions as the event that sparked her
political interests.
Sixteen years later, Clark will
publicly debate her political views
with other students during todays
Pizza and Politics, hosted by The
Dole Institute of Politics.
Its really important for every-
one on campus who may have
not watched the other debates to
maybe get a student prospective
on the issues, Clark said.
Pizza and Politics provides a
forum for students to discuss cur-
rent issues from noon to 1 p.m.
in Alderson Auditorium in the
Kansas Union.
Caitlin Doornbos, the coordi-
nator for Pizza and Politics, said
the program normally draws high-
profile professionals to share their
experiences with students, but this
debate provides a unique opportu-
nity to promote civic engagement
in students.
My many peers and friends
dont know anything about elec-
tions or who stands for what,
Doornbos said. It will be a good
experience because theyll get
the chance to watch these politi-
cal junkies who have done the
research for you.
The KU College Republicans,
KU Young Democrats and the KU
Young Americans for Liberty are
co-sponsoring the event, and each
will be represented in the debate.
The delegates will discuss federal
spending, the proper role of gov-
ernment, health care and social
issues.
Lara Jeffery, a sophomore from
Sydney, is the president of the
KU Young
Ameri cans
for Liberty
and will
r e pr e s e nt
Libertarians
in the debate.
Jeffery said
the point of
the debate is
not to con-
vince her peers
of her own personal opinions.
I would love to be able to
change minds, Jeffery said. But
I think its more important that
people are exposed to different
viewpoints.
The debate is a tool for students
to hear about the political issues
from their peers. Doornbos said
presidential candidates can seem
distant on television, and their
policies can be confusing. Hearing
the opinions from peers can
make the politi-
cal jargon more
understandable
for students,
Doornbos said.
At a national
level, people
generally have
a lot of dis-
trust toward
the candidates,
Doornbos said. At this debate
its going to be peers who agree
with certain political parties. And
theyll share their reasoning for
that.

A mule team walks along the Bright Angel Trail on the South Rim of the Grand Can-
yon National Park in Arizona. Google is using the Trekker, a 40-pound, backpack-
sized camera unit, to showcase the Grand Canyons most popular hiking trails.

GRAND CANYON NATION-
AL PARK, Ariz. Google and its
street-view cameras already have
taken users to narrow cobblestone
alleys in Spain using a tricycle, in-
side the Smithsonian with a push
cart and to British Columbias
snow-covered slopes by snowmo-
bile.
Te search giant now has
brought its all-seeing eyes
mounted for the frst time on a
backpack down into the Grand
Canyon, showcasing the attrac-
tions most popular hiking trails
on the South Rim and other walk-
ways.
Its the latest evolution in map-
ping technology for the Mountain
View, Calif., company, which has
used a rosette of cameras to pho-
tograph thousands of cities and
towns in dozens of countries for
its Street View feature. With a click
of the mouse, Internet users are
transported virtually for a 360-de-
gree view of locales they may have
read about only in tourist books
and seen in fat, 2-D images.
Any of these sort of iconic, cul-
tural, historical locations that are
not accessible by road is where we
want to go, said Ryan Falor, prod-
uct manager at Google.
Google announced the Trekker
earlier this year but made its frst
ofcial collection of data this week
at the Grand Canyon.
Te backpacks arent ready for
volunteer use, but Google has said
it wants to deploy them at nation-
al forests, to the narrow streets of
Venice, Mount Everest and to an-
cient ruins and castles.
Te move to capture the Grand
Canyon comes afer Apple chose
to drop Google Maps from its mo-
bile operating systems and opted
to use its own mapping program
that was derided for, among other
things, poor directions and miss-
ing towns.
Steve Silverman, operations
manager for Google didnt directly
address the competition in saying:
Just trying to document a trail,
its going to be hard to beat this.
Google launched its Street View
feature in 2007 and has expanded
from fve U.S. cities to more than
3,000 in 43 countries.
At a national level, people

generally have a lot of
distrust toward the candi-
dates.

KINGSTON, Jamaica Hur-
ricane Sandy pounded Jamaica
with heavy rain and a powerful
storm surge as it headed for landfall
Wednesday near the countrys most
populous city on a track that would
carry it across the Caribbean island
to Cuba, and then pose a possible
threat to Florida. At least one person
in nearby Haiti was killed afer be-
ing swept away by a rushing river.
Te islands international airports
closed, cruise ships changed their
itineraries and police ordered 48-
hour curfews in major towns to keep
people of the streets and deter loot-
ing as the late-season storm neared
Jamaicas south coast. Police slowly
drove through drenched communi-
ties in the capital of Kingston with
their cruisers lights fashing.
Te 18th named storm of the
Atlantic hurricane season was fore-
cast to make landfall in the vicinity
of Kingston Wednesday afernoon
and then spin on into eastern Cuba
overnight. It was expected to pass
west of the U.S. naval base at Guan-
tanamo Bay, where pretrial hearings
were being held for a suspect in the
deadly 2000 attack on the destroyer
USS Cole of Yemen.
Forecasters at the U.S. National
Hurricane Center in Miami said
tropical storm conditions were pos-
sible along the southeast Florida
coast, the Upper Keys and Florida
Bay by Friday morning. A tropical
storm watch was in efect for the
area, the center said.
In southwestern Haiti, a woman
died in the town of Camp Perrin
afer she was swept away by a river
she was trying to cross, according
to Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste, head of
the countrys civil protection ofce.
Tere were also reports of extensive
damage to Port Salut along Haitis
far-southwestern coast afer a river
burst its banks. Local municipal of-
fcial Darius Joseph said some resi-
dents had lef their fooded homes
for shelter in schools and churches.
Across Jamaica, poor people in
ramshackle shantytowns and mon-
eyed residents in gated communities
were growing increasingly jittery
about Sandys approach. Many sec-
tions of the debt-shackled country
have crumbling infrastructure, and
a lack of building codes has resulted
in some middle-class homes and
tin-roofed shacks being built close
to steep embankments and gullies.
While Jamaica was ravaged by
bands from Hurricane Ivan in 2004
and other powerful hurricanes cen-
tered ofshore, the eye of a hurricane
hasnt carved across the island since
Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, accord-
ing to Jamaican meteorologist Jac-
queline Spence.
Stranded business travelers and
a smattering of locals were riding
out the hurricane in hotels clustered
along a strip in Kingstons fnancial
district. Some read prayer books or
novels, while others watched movies
or communicated with loved ones
on computers.
Cris Hopkinson, a Toronto wom-
an who was on a business trip, said
she was hoping to catch a fight of
the island Friday when the stormy
weather clears.
For now, Im just hoping that the
glass in the windows dont shatter
from the winds, Hopkinson said in
the dining room of the Courtleigh
Hotel.
WARSAW, Poland British
billionaire Richard Branson says
his space tourism project keeps
being pushed back and isnt sure of
an exact date for the frst launch.
He says it will be at least an-
other 12 or 18 months before the
Virgin Galactic venture can ofer
paid space travel to adventurers.
Te founder of the Virgin
Group met with students on his
frst visit to Poland on Wednesday,
where he came to launch Virgin
Academy, which will help young
people kick start their own busi-
nesses.
Asked about Virgin Galactic,
Branson said he has stopped
counting days to the launch be-
cause it gets delayed to the next
year, to the next year.
More than 100 would-be space
tourists have signed up for the
$200,000 two-hour trips that go
62 miles (100 kilometers) above
Earth.
BEIRUT Te current inter-
national peace plan seeking to stop
Syrias civil war sufered a major
setback Wednesday when an al-
Qaida-inspired militant group re-
jected a cease-fre proposed by the
international envoy.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-
Arab League envoy for Syria, said
the government in Damascus and
some rebel leaders had agreed to a
four-day truce during the Muslim
Eid al-Adha holiday, which starts
Friday.
Te modest scope of the pro-
posal refected how short the inter-
national community is on ideas
and even that appeared doomed.
Both sides have agreed to previous,
more ambitious cease-fres in the
past only to break them, and nei-
ther side shows much interest in
stopping the fght now.
Te Syrian government denied
it has made a decision, saying it is
studying the proposal, and rebel
leaders have expressed doubts.
An extremist group, Jabhat al-
Nusra, which has joined the fght
against President Bashar Assad,
also rejected the truce.
Tere will be no truce between
us and the prideful regime and
shedder of the blood of Muslims,
the group said in a written state-
ment posted Wednesday on mili-
tant websites. We are not among
those who allow the wily to trick
us, nor are we ones who will accept
to play these flthy games.

Children will be flooding Daisy
Hill Sunday from 5-7 p.m. for the resi-
dence halls annual Halloween event.
Every hall on the Hill will par-
ticipate in the event. Ellsworth Hall
is hosting a fun fair with games and
cookie decorating for kids. McCollum
Hall will set up a photo booth in
front of Ellsworth. Hashinger Hall will
have a kid-friendly haunted house.
Templin and Lewis Halls will host
trick-or-treating.
I think its really cool, said Hassan
El-Shoubary, a sophomore from
North Brunswick, N.J. Its awesome
that theyre bringing the kids around.
It also gives students a chance to get to
know each other.
Students in Templin and Lewis
hall are decorating their floors with
themes of scary movies and well-
known childrens movies. Each floor
is getting together to choose their
own theme. Caleb Bobo, a freshman
from St. Louis, said his floors theme
is Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets.
Im pretty excited, Bobo said. For
a low cost we get to do a pretty cool
thing. It provides us a safe way to have
fun on Halloween without getting in
to trouble.
Student leaders and organizers in
the residence halls are in charge of
the event and welcome any volunteers
interested in helping. The funding for
the trick-or-treat candy, decorations
and activities comes from Student
Housing. Its goal is to help students
engage in the Daisy Hill and Lawrence
communities.
It helps the University connect a
lot more to the people of Lawrence,
El-Shoubary said. I didnt know
about the event, but now that I do, I
will definitely get into it.
Children and families are being
informed about the Halloween event
on Daisy Hill in Lawrence schools and
by posters downtown and in other
areas around Lawrence.
It really focuses students attention
on something constructive for families
and their children, said Christopher
Sowa, assistant director of residence
for Student Housing. Oftentimes the
students will work for hours on deco-
rating their floors and preparing for
the trick-or-treating that happens. It
keeps a perspective of what Halloween
is about: the children and young peo-
ple in the community.

Whether for late-night cravings,
a quick meal or from an inability to
cook, delivery food is often the sav-
ior of hungry college students.
There was a rumor this fall that
Chipotle would start delivering, but
this was later shot down by PR
and Marketing Consultant Danielle
Winslow. Even though they wont
be able to have Chipotle delivered
to their door, students have several
other delivery options.
Ryan Thomsen, a sophomore
from Lamont, said that Jimmy
Johns is his favorite delivery place
in Lawrence because its consistently
fast and always delicious.
Several students said Jimmy
Johns was also their go-to delivery
choice, not only because it is fast
and tastes good but also because its
affordable. A regular Jimmy Johns
sandwich costs about $5 with no
additional delivery charge.
Picklemans was the most popular
answer when students were asked
what their favorite delivery food
was. Sandwiches range from $4.99
to $7.29, and its current special is a
grilled cheese sandwich with tomato
soup for $6.99.
Jack Joers, a sophomore from
Downers Grove, Ill., said he loves
how Picklemans stays open until 3
a.m. and that their sandwiches are
actually toasted.
Their prices arent that much
different from Jimmy Johns, and in
my opinion Picklemans has better
sandwiches, Joers said.
When it comes to pizza, there
are several options for students to
order delivery, and Dominos was
the favorite. Its newest item is a
medium pan pizza with two top-
pings for $7.99. Students can also
get two medium 2-topping pizzas
for $5.99 each. Dominos is the most
versatile restaurant when it comes
to paying: It accepts cash, debit or
credit cards, Cuisine Cash and Beak
Em Bucks.
Natalie Terwilliger, a sophomore
from Olathe, said that Dominos
was her favorite because its the only
pizza place that offers gluten-free
crust.
Pizza Shuttle was also a popular
choice for students, but some com-
plained that it doesnt accept debit
or credit cards.
Fat Freddys Pizza and Wings is a
pizza place unique to Lawrence. It
delivers until 4 a.m. Thursday night
through Saturday night, one of the
latest places open. Its menu ranges
from regular pizzas and wings to
items like the Wake and Bake Pizza
a thin crust pizza with cheese,
bacon, sausage, tater tots, fried eggs
and country gravy for $14.49.
Mary Kate Welton, a sophomore
from Topeka, said that she likes
Fat Freddys because its one of the
only places in Lawrence that deliv-
ers cheap and delicious wings.

Pizza Shuttle, Jimmy Johns, Wheat State and Pizza Hut are popular delivery options
among students.

to the attraction last year. He
said the experience was amaz-
ing for him and his group of
friends.
It tries to make your favor-
ite horror movies come to life,
so its really cool if you are a
big movie fan, he said. I dont
know why, but sometimes its
just fun to be scared witless.
Rebarchek described some
other aspects of the attraction
as menacing and just eerie.
Sara Schwalm, a junior from
Osawatomie, said the pop cul-
ture references were one of her
favorite parts of the experi-
ence.
Im terrifed of mental hos-
pitals, and they had one scene
where the doctor was working
on a patient, she said. I made
sure to get out of that room as
quickly as I could.
If being put in the center
of a horror flm isnt quite the
level of fear youre looking for,
the recent addition of a 40-foot
Bat Cave pole that drops you
four stories is so intense, it re-
quires you to sign a waiver and
verify that youre over 18.
Although she hasnt been
yet, Kalen Stockton, a fresh-
man from Topeka, said that
the theme of the Cinema is
interesting, and because shes
a haunted house junkie, she
will most likely end up going.
I just love spooky stuf,
Stockton said. I guess its be-
cause I was born four days be-
fore Halloween. Its healthy to
scare yourself every now and
then.

Halloween on the Hill
welcomes community
china approves new
nuclear reactors
JUmP From PaGE 1
JUmP From PaGE 1
BEIJING China has decided
to approve new nuclear power
plants as part of plans to reduce
reliance on oil and coal, ending
the moratorium it imposed to
review safety in the wake of Japans
Fukushima disaster last year.
The governments decision
Wednesday that nuclear power is
safe for China takes the country
in the opposite direction from
some developed nations such as
Germany, which decided in the
wake of the Fukushima disaster
to speed its complete phase-out of
nuclear power. Japan is planning
to phase it out by 2040.
China is the worlds biggest
energy consumer, and build-
ing new reactors is a key part of
Beijings plans to curb demand for
fossil fuels.
The communist government
is aggressively promoting alter-
natives to coal and oil in order
to reduce pollution and curb its
reliance on imported petroleum,
which it sees as a national secu-
rity risk. Still, coal is forecast to
remain the countrys main energy
source for decades.
The government said
Wednesday it hopes to generate
30 percent of Chinas power from
solar, wind and other renewable
sources, as well as from nuclear
energy, by the end of 2015. Thats
up from an earlier target of 15
percent from renewables plus 5
percent from nuclear by 2020.
The Cabinet on Wednesday
passed plans on nuclear power
safety and development that said
construction of nuclear power
plants would resume steadily.
Only a small number of plants
will be built, and only in coast-
al areas, according to a Cabinet
announcement. The plants will
meet the most stringent safety
standards, it said.
No date was given for resum-
ing construction of nuclear plants.
Despite widespread public con-
cern over possible radiation con-
tamination from the Fukushima
disaster and calls for improved
safety precautions and emergen-
cy preparedness, China remains
committed to building up nuclear
power to help reduce emissions
from coal-fired plants and curb its
reliance on costly oil imports.
China suspended approvals of
new nuclear plants after a tsunami
triggered by the massive March
11, 2011, earthquake crippled the
Fukushima plants.

I
n light of homecoming sea-
son and our campus being
on a basketball-induced high
afer Late Night, campus is at its
most spirited peak. Crimson and
blue food the Underground at all
times, as our signature Rock Chalk
Lattes are being made behind the
Pulse counters.
With Homecoming Week in full
swing, Kansas is a great place to be
right about now. And when you
give a little bit back to the school
you attend, you have to notice its
rippling efect. School spirit radi-
ates throughout campus and hope-
fully it will shine at the football
game.
As you join arm in arm at the
football game this Saturday, sing-
ing the Alma Mater, whether it is
your frst homecoming or your
last, soak it up. Tis experience,
this homecomingthe centennial
homecomingis bound to be a
good one. Attitude is everything,
and you have the power to set the
bar high. Give everything you have
to homecoming and fnd comfort
in the memories you are sure to
make as we fy through this won-
derful, exciting week.
As a pretty big advocate on
community involvement, I think
its important we all give back to
this school. So, go take a drive
around Lawrence. Walk down Jay-
hawk Boulevard and appreciate the
beauty of our campus. Remember
why you chose KU and get ready to
celebrate the 100th homecoming
this week. Trow on some KU gear
and cheer on the Jayhawks, rain or
shine, win or lose. Try and give
this school a little bit of the sup-
port it deserves, afer all, its giving
you life-changing experiences and
educational opportunities.
For 100 years, the traditions that
the University prides itself on has
been showcased and faunted, this
particular week especially. Weve
been rocking chalk for a century,
and thats something to be proud
of. So, make this particular week a
little bit more special. And whether
youre a newbie or a seasoned vet,
you never outgrow school pride.
Plus, crimson and blue looks good
on anyone.
Whether you fnd yourself at
the football game on Saturday,
or hanging out on Wescoe Beach
looking at the Century Long. Tra-
dition Strong, chalk artwork, get
out there and see what homecom-
ing has to ofer. A spirited week
will lead to a successful weekend.
Te truth of the matter is this
place is pretty cool. As students
here, we get to be a part of some
really amazing traditions. Hail to
old KU, because this school is big-
ger than us. You should be pretty
proud to be a Jayhawk. Have a
wonderful and safe homecoming.

Lavigne is a freshman from
St. Paul, Minn.
T
here are days when being a
27-year-old college student
makes me feel out of place,
a lack of generational camaraderie
thats to be expected with my par-
ticular situation. McCollum Hall
played the foundational factor in
why it will have taken me almost a
decade since graduating high school
to attain a college degree. For rea-
sons I certainly cant disclose in a
student newspaper, (lets call them
the yearlong string of bad decisions)
my experience at McCollum re-
mains one of the most exciting and
destructive years of my life.
When entering McCollum,
theres nothing that really draws
you in. Sure, theres a billiards and
ping-pong table to the right, and its
a spacious layout on the main foor,
but if youve been to any university
dormitory, its probably similar to
McCollum. Whats always built Mc-
Collums reputation as a fantastic
student-lodging option has been the
students and RAs who reside within
the dorm. I had the luxury of being
on the fourth foor, south wing. Tat
my friends, is where all the weekend
magic happened. Picture a dorm
foor lined with people who hap-
pen to get along with almost every
other person on that foor. Making
friends is like shooting fsh in a bar-
rel with this kind of lodging setup.
Tere was always something ex-
citing to do with a diferent four-
south friend each and every night.
From the second I walked of the
elevator at level four, I would feel an
eager and exhilarating vibe, like that
feeling you get when youre about to
go to a big get-together with friends.
My RA was Steve, a long-haired,
beanie-wearing fellow who, every
time I saw him, had a smile on his
face and a friendly hello to accom-
pany it. Never was Steve the one to
get into any drinking with his foors
residents, but he made it clear that
he wasnt going to stand in the way
of a bunch of University freshman
enjoying college life. We partied
hard and looked out for each other,
but most importantly took pride in
representing our namesake, four-
south.
All of that social go-getting
clearly lef me little time to factor
school into the equation. But Mc-
Collum never had the fnal say in
my decisions, merely it provided me
with a self-delusional bubble from
the rest of my academic responsibili-
ties, and youll continue to hear me
say that living in a dorm freshman
year is a risky but potentially re-
warding experience. Tanks to the
generosity of the Universitys Aca-
demic Forgiveness Policy, a policy
that allows qualifed applicants to
have up to two semesters removed
entirely from ones University GPA,
I was able to salvage a second chance
at the University. As if my freshman
year never happened, really. And
perhaps this is why I can now look
back on my time at McCollum as a
stepping-stone, rather than a road-
block.
In the end, the building will be
demolished, and potentially two
new resident halls will sprout up in
its place. My surreal freshman expe-
rience, in a sense, goes down with it.
I wont be able to go back in 10 years
and say, there, thats where I had the
best times my freshman year. But I
do know this, the view from my car
afer making a right on Iowa from
23rd street might change, but my
memories and friendships I made
from McCollum will not.

I
m starting an activist group.
Dont worry. It wont be
one of those pointless activist
groups like Equal Voting Rights
for White-Tailed Deer! or Te
Kansan Needs A More Competent
Opinion Editor! Tis one will
tackle an issue thats very close
to my heart, an issue that several
of my friends struggle with every
day.
I have a friend, whom I will
refer to as James so you wont
fnd out that his real name is Bob.
James writes on his Facebook
profle that he considers himself
an activist, and his likes seem
to refect that; as I scroll down
the list, I fnd links to pages with
names like Planned Parenthood
Action, Te LGBT Project, Re-
form Immigration For America,
and even Tattoo Acceptance
in the Workplace. Te fact that
James is a straight, male U.S. citi-
zen with pathetically inkless arms
makes this pride parade of Face-
book pages even more impres-
sive; he doesnt have to support
all these things, but he goes ahead
and likes em anyway, because
hes basically the reincarnation of
Mother Teresa.
But, in all the time Ive known
James, Ive never seen him speak-
ing out about any of these topics in
person. Sure, hes talkativehell
gladly ramble on about Doctor
Who until theres bloodshed
but just try showing him your
new face-and-neck tattoo of a
shark biting Ron Pauls legs of. He
might manage a Yeah, thats pret-
ty cool, I guess, but he defnitely
wont ask if your boss has been us-
ing derogatory slurs like inkie
around you because of it. You will
not see James writing passionate
letters urging his congressman
to run down to the Rio Grande
and tear down the border fence
with his bare hands. If youre the
type of lunatic who gets his kicks
watching enraged women burn
efgies of Paul Ryan at Planned
Parenthood rallies, you wont see
Jamess face in the crowd.
And this is what bugs me about
the new breed of slacktivism that
has started cropping up on Face-
book and Twitter. You can like
as many advocacy groups as you
want, but if you dont go out in
the real world and help to change
some of the things you complain
about online, all youre really do-
ing is wasting bandwidth. And,
like it or not, you arent really
passionate about tattoo accep-
tance in the workplace, or ADHD
awareness, or most of the other
causes that you blindly liked af-
ter a drunken political discussion
with your womens-studies-major
roommate.
Tats why my new group will
advocate for not claiming to be an
advocate for so many things that
you dont really care about. Like
any good advocacy group, itll
have a ribbon, but itll be beige,
the color of mediocrity and tapi-
oca pudding, to remind would-be
Mother Teresas that theyre not
as special as they think they are.
I urge all of you readers to tape
beige ribbons to your shirts, go
onto your bloated Facebook pro-
fles, and pick one cause of the
list. Just one. If you cant decide,
close your eyes and play pin-the-
tail-on-the-donkey with your
beige ribbon and go with what-
ever it sticks to. Finally (and this
is the important bit), actually go
out and do something for that
cause. Write to your senator. Vol-
unteer at a soup kitchen. Maybe
even go to a Planned Parenthood
rally (but be sure to watch out for
the faming, airborne Paul Ryan
chunks).

man and journalism from Derby.

Merriam-Webster defnes the
word macabre as having death as a
subject, dwelling on the gruesome,
and tending to produce horror in a
beholder. For those looking for a
real-world example, the Macabre
Cinema haunted house in Kansas
City, Mo., fts this defnition per-
fectly.
Although its designed as a 1930s
theater, this isnt your typical Fri-
day night movie scene.
You enter just like youre going
to a movie and then when youre
inside the theater, you see the scary
movie playing on the screen and
pass through a slit in the screen,
said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, vice
president of Full Moon Produc-
tions. You actually become part of
the movie.
Te Cinema attempts to bring
to life the action of favorite hor-
ror classics. Te four foors of the
attraction feature more than 30
scenes and sets, including the real
movie sets of Hellraiser, Te
Scorpion King and Killer Clowns
from Outer Space. Bequeaith said
there is also a Frankenstein set that
has actual electric currents running
through it.
Bequeaith said the diferent
scenes are meant to evoke the feel-
ing of fear and play on the diferent
phobias of the patrons.
Zack Rebarchek, a senior from
Bonner Springs, went to the attrac-
tion last year. He said the experi-
ence was amazing for him and his
group of friends.
It tries to make your favorite
horror movies come to life, so its
really cool if you are a big movie
fan, he said. I dont know why, but
sometimes its just fun to be scared
witless.
Rebarchek described some other
aspects of the attraction as menac-
ing and just eerie.
Sara Schwalm, a junior from
Osawatomie, said the pop culture
references were one of her favorite
parts of the experience.
Im terrifed of mental hospitals,
and they had one scene where the
doctor was working on a patient,
she said. I made sure to get out of
that room as quickly as I could.
If being put in the center of a
horror flm isnt quite the level of
fear youre looking for, the recent
addition of a 40-foot Bat Cave pole
that drops you four stories is so in-
tense, it requires you to sign a waiv-
er and verify that youre over 18.

will most likely end up going.

ton said. I guess its because I was
born four days before Halloween.
Its healthy to scare yourself every
now and then.

Something wicked this way
comes. Thankfully, its not another
installment of Friday the 13th or
Saw. As Halloween approaches,
horror fans are looking far and
wide for a truly original tale to
scare their socks off.
Hollywood hasnt been help-
ing lately, regurgitating the same
B-rated horror movies that incite
laughter rather than fear. But if
you still havent found a haunting
story to celebrate All Hallows Eve,
American Horror Story: Asylum
on FX is sure to have you checking
your closet for monsters again.
Asylum has revamped nearly
everything from its previous sea-
son. Executive producer Ryan
Murphy made it clear they are
wasting no time getting viewers on
the edge of their seats.
Taylor Irwin, a junior from
Kansas City, Mo., is looking for-
ward to the shows second season.
I was initially really excited to
see how and if they were going to
tie the two seasons together even
though they seemed so different,
Irwin said.
The first episode, Welcome to
Briarcliff, welcomes back several
previous cast members to a haunt-
ing tale of Nazis, aliens, serial kill-
ers and mad scientists.
Set in 1964, the story opens with
a young man named Kit (Evan
Peters) who is falsely accused of
being the serial killer Bloody Face,
and an overly curious newspaper
reporter investigating the institu-
tions shady practices. The report-
er, Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson)
does not get far before reaching
a dead end the asylums iron-
fisted overseer, Sister Jude (Jessica
Lange).
Her devout Christian dominion
keeps her underlings in line but
does not seem to deter Dr. Arthur
Cromwell (James Cromwell) from
his unnatural patient experimenta-
tion, making their relationship a
destructive force within the insti-
tution. Mental illness is the fash-
ionable explanation for sin, Sister
Jude urges.
The storys new direction has
captivated fans of AHS, breaking
nearly all records established by the
first season. The premiere impres-
sively drew 3.8 million viewers.
I ended up really liking the pre-
miere, especially because they used
several of same actors to play dif-
ferent characters, Irwin said.
Beginning at such a breakneck
speed ensures there will be enough
conspiracy, violence and insan-
ity to captivate horror enthusiasts
every Wednesday night.

As we all know, Halloween for
college students is no longer about
trick-or-treating. Alcohol replaces
candy, and its now just another
excuse for us to be crazy college
students.
Being from Arizona, the land of
ultimate slutty costumes, I came to
Kansas last year completely clueless
to the funny and creative approach
people were taking with their
Halloween attire. Did this mean
I no longer had to trudge down
the promiscuous path of costumes
each year? I was thrilled.
But sadly, I didnt catch the
memo in time. It was all too late, as
I had already purchased my over-
priced Astro-naughty costume,
and of course it was final sale. I
hope my tragic story can save a
few freshmen (or transfer students)
from making the same mistake this
year.
Halloween 2012 is the year I will
redeem myself. This years costume
is creative, fully-clothed, and has
no slutty punch line to go along
with it. I would tell you what it is,
but then youd all copy me. Whats
even better is that everything I
need is already in my closet. As tiny
as scandalous costumes are, they
sure are expensive.
To avoid regret, scarring pictures
and wasting serious cash, please
take my advice: Dress creatively,
humorously and economically.
Halloween gossip has included
Honey Boo Boo, Anastasia Steele
and Christian Grey from the noto-
rious Fifty Shades of Grey novel,
and Katniss Everdeen from Hunger
Games as costume favorites for this
year. Im all for these fun options.
Steer clear of those costumes you
see non-stop. Black cat anyone?
I know its easy, but weve seen it
100 times. If youre one of those
cat-obsessed people who must opt
for a feline outfit, at least go for
a fashion-forward print, which
would obviously be tiger right now.
Cheerleader costumes as well as
athletes also fall under the repeti-
tive category.
My favorites from last year
were three girls who dressed up
in each of Kim Kardashians three
wedding dresses. Kardashian had
announced her divorce that same
day, so these girls had acted fast.
Another favorite was the human
Franzia guy. He even had a real box
of Franzia inside his outfit to share
with everyone. What a gracious
human being.
These costumes will be hard to
beat, but with my advice, I believe
it can be done.
Halloween horror has returned
to the local stage at the Lawrence
Arts Center. This weekend EMU
Theatre Inc. presents Horrorshow
VI, an annual festival of plays fea-
turing zombies, scary clowns, the
undead, stage blood and jokes.
Horrorshow VI consists of six
one-act plays: Grim Reaper,
Indoor Boy, Blood Ties, Dusk,
The Further Tragedy of Rome(r)
o and Juliet and Best Medicine.
This years Horrorshow marks
EMU Theatres 15th anniver-
sary and combines revitalizations
of three popular plays from past
Horrorshows with new scripts.
EMU is a lot edgier than most
theater KU students have prob-
ably been exposed to, said EMU
Theatre founder Andrew Stowers.
Stowers wrote The Further
Tragedy of Rome(r)o and Juliet,
one of Horrorshows returning per-
formances, a Shakespeare-inspired
spoof where undead Romeo and
Juliet are confronted by characters
from their past.
What we do definitely defies
traditional theater material and
expectations in favor of new works,
Stowers said.
A zombie frame story unites
the six unique plays featured in
Horrorshow VI and ties them
together while the set is being taken
down and set up between plays.
Jerry Salisbury, EMU Theatres
public relations director, believes
that showcasing six different short-
er plays gives Horrorshow a diver-
sity that makes it appeal to the
masses.
Youre not just getting a one-
note show, Salisbury said. You
can laugh, you can cry, you can
be scared out of your wits you
can get a little bit of everything
with it.
All of the individual plays are
between 10 and 20 minutes long
and are written, directed and per-
formed by Lawrence residents.
One of those local thespians is
Carol Holstead, who has been an
associate professor in the School
of Journalism for the past 23 years.
Holstead received her masters
degree in theater. Three years ago,
Holstead saw an ad for open-call
auditions for a summer production
with EMU and has since become a
part of EMUs community theater.
I really have fallen in love with
this theater company and these
people, Holstead said.
Holstead performs as a nurse
in Best Medicine for her fourth
production with EMU. She believes
that Horrorshow VI offers an
affordable theater-going experi-
ence that Kansas students will not
want to miss out on.
Its entertaining, its funny, its
over in two hours, Holstead said.
You can come at 7:30 and be
entertained and still go out and
have your night.
Horrorshow VIs final perfor-
mances are Friday, Saturday, and
next Wednesday. Admission is $6,
and curtains open at 7:30 p.m.

PAGE 8A thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN
Our lives are not our own. We
are bound to others. And by each
crime and every kindness, we
birth our future.
Cloud Atlas is a flm driven
by an ambition that borders on
euphoria, a sprawling sci-f sextet
that bridges the gap between sci-
ence and spiritualism by exalting
the divine sparkplug that is the
human heart. Te subject of the
movie, co-directed by Andy and
Lana Wachowski (Te Matrix
trilogy) and Tom Tykwer (Run
Lola Run), is nothing less than
the nature of existence itself, fol-
lowing the karmic trajectory of
several souls as they embark on a
centuries-spanning waltz of life,
death and rebirth.
As the cycle turns inward, a
killer is redeemed, lovers are be-
trayed and cyberpunk revolu-
tion is waged. Tis is audacious,
grand-scale cinema on the level
of Inception and last years bril-
liant, similarly divisive Tree of
Life.
Based on David Mitchells ac-
claimed 2004 novel, Cloud Atlas
encompasses six main narratives,
each strung together like a chain
of cosmic pearls, where every ac-
tor appears in a multiplicity of
roles that transverse the boundar-
ies of language, race and gender.
For example, Halle Berry plays ev-
eryone from a Jewish socialite to a
male surgeon from South Korea.
Te frst story concerns the di-
ary of a young notary (Jim Stur-
gess) whos fghting a terrible ill-
ness while sailing home from a
19th-century slave colony in the
South Pacifc. Another segment
involves impoverished musician
Robert Frobisher (Ben Wishaw),
who leaves his longtime boyfriend
(James DArcy) to become the
amanuensis of a famed Belgian
composer (Jim Broadbent).
From there the movie turns into
a more traditional sci-f, casting its
gaze to the far-fung future where
a dystopian revolution is being or-
chestrated by Sonmi-451 (Doona
Bae), a genetically engineered
fabricant waitress turned na-
scent social prophet. Te outcome
of her Neo Seoul uprising leads to
a stopover in post-apocalyptic Ha-
waii, where Hanks plays a humble
goatherd whose tribe is visited by
a beautiful emissary (also played
by Berry) from a technologically
advanced civilization.
If you feel like you should be
taking notes, its not a bad idea.
Cloud Atlas is the kind of movie
that could easily dissolve into a
pretentious migraine if it made the
mistake of being too overwrought
or self-serious. Tankfully the flm
manages to balance its weightier
themes with moments of brac-
ing humor, especially during a
comic interlude where Broadbent,
playing an addle-brained literary
agent, is tricked into a nursing
home by his brother. Tis section,
which combines elements of One
Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and
Te Great Escape, also features
the unforgettable sight of Hugo
Weaving essentially playing Nurse
Ratched in drag.
Although the makeup qual-
ity varies from transformative to
ridiculous, the performances in
Cloud Atlas are uniformly ex-
cellent. Berry and Hanks fare the
best, never letting their star power
outshine the characters they em-
body. Hugh Grant, an actor whose
appeal escaped me for years, also
impresses in roles ranging from
a smarmy power plant owner to
a bloodthirsty cannibal chiefain.
Broadbent is the flms trump
card, an actor who can shif from
pompous to befuddled at the drop
of a hat.
Cloud Atlas represents a re-
turn to a kind of flmmaking
long ignored by Hollywood: the
spectacle of substance. Te Wa-
chowskis and Tykwer reportedly
raised the bulk of the $100 mil-
lion budget themselves, making
the flm the most expensive inde-
pendent production of all time. In
an ideal world, audiences experi-
encing blockbuster malaise would
be focking in droves to see this.
Creative independence comes at a
heavy price these days, and eforts
like this should be rewarded. Tis
is a singular cinematic achieve-
ment, one that will be enjoyed and
analyzed for years to come.

PLEASE REcYcLE
thIS PAPER
Attention all naysayers who still
think rap music is an oxymoron:
Kendrick Lamar would like a word
with you.
Lamars major label debut album,
Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, is a
remarkable combination of hip-
hop storytelling and hard-hitting
West Coast beats. With hit wizard
Dr. Dre often at the production
helm, Lamar is the Bob Dylan of
the streets. His songwriting guides
listeners on a vivid tour of the
Compton, Calif., neighborhood of
his youth, in which Nintendo and
orange soda exist alongside 9 mm
pistols and prostitutes.
Not since the earlier days of
Outkast has a hip-hop artist man-
aged to fuze the bolder, gangsta
side of rap with socially cognizant
lyricism so successfully. Talented
emcees such as Common and Talib
Kweli have never quite managed to
escape from the conscious rapper
stereotype a term with some-
what negative connotations in the
rap world.
But Lamar has sidestepped that
label with Good Kid, M.A.A.D.
City and proved himself worthy
of the hype spurred on by two
pre-released singles. Swimming
Pools (Drank) is a party jam that
practically dares the neighbors to
call in a noise complaint and show-
cases the tonal range of Lamars
voice as he personifies an internal
warning from his vodka-drowned
conscience.
The voices of Lamars family and
friends are a constant presence in
skits at the end of each song, add-
ing further continuity to the nar-
rative about growing up in urban
Los Angeles. In a way, the entire
album is a brilliant character act as
he shifts effortlessly from confused
youth to desperate delinquent to
confident rap star.
On the song M.A.A.D. City,
he convincingly plays the role of
a killer, exuding gangster menace
in his voice, whereas Sing About
Me, Im Dying of Thirst is really
a thoughtful prayer for lost souls
in the city. Lamar raps, Channel
9 / Cameras looking / Its hard
to channel your energy when you
know youre crooked.
The album isnt all work and no
play, as evident in The Recipe,
which is a syncopated tribute to
the famous Women, weed and
weather of California. In fact, the
production teams biggest mis-
take may have been pushing this
meticulously arranged track to the
albums deluxe version.
Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is
more than just a collection of rap
songs. Its a triumphant, rough-
edged story of an ordinary city
kids rise to his rightful place in the
hip-hop pantheon.
Edited by Megan Hinman
ASSocIAtED PRESS
Kendrick Lamar, an upcoming rap artist, will release his frst album, Good Kid,
m.A.A.d city, on oct. 22 on Dr. Dres label, Aftermath entertainment.

Because the stars know things we dont.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 5
Someone provides an important
contact. Details hamper advance-
ment. Discipline is required, but if
anybody can do it, its you now. Ac-
cept your partners suggestion. Do
it with gusto.

Today is a 8
Spiritual senses awaken. Focus on
love and friendship, and you can get far-
ther than ever before. Create a practical
solution to a fnancial challenge.

your promises, regardless. Catch up
on all the news. Play by the book and
close the deal.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8
Potentially hazardous conditions
threaten. Stick to your budget, and
postpone household chores. Let some-
body else argue with authority. Your

tight spots.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Dont try to pay everyones way. Pay
attention to details to increase your
capabilities. Assume authority. Working

quired. Stop and smell the roses for a

portant, and go for it. Its even okay if

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

the secret to your success. Write a love
poem.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

An escape attempt now will probably
fail. Focus instead on making money,

ing the homework, without cutting cor-
ners, to proft.

Today is a 9
You can do more than you thought.
Focus on creating income, and cut en-

OCTOBER 26
Today is a 5
Speak from the heart. You can
get whatever you stand for, even if
romantic issues challenge. Youre
stronger for the next two days.
Make plans that generate income.
Today is a 6
Its a time of introspection. Have
your partner represent you. Its hard
to decide what to buy, and what to put
on hold for later. Focus on long-range
goals, and dont stress. Not worth it.
Today is a 6
You can easily do two things at
once, but watch out for toes you dont
want to step on (especially those of a
loved one). Moderate a clash between
normally gentle souls.

to get the job done. Consult a female
expert, and listen to new ideas. Stand
outside the controversy as much as
possible for the next two days.
Today is a 5
Youre full of wild and crazy ideas,
and some of them might work, but
when it comes to romance, not right
this second. Present your thoughts
with compassion.

love. Dont worry, youve got the words.
Compromise is required. Theres room
for fnancial improvement, too. Keep in
action.

for just a little bit. Let somebody
else take care of you for the next
two days. Learn to take risks from
interesting people. Music enhances
mental focus.

confrontations. Listening with special
attention pays dividends. Youre enter-
ing a very busy phase. Bath or shower
meditations generate brilliance.
Today is a 7
Make up a wish list for the perfect
romance and watch love blossom, with
some help from your friends. You may as
well pop the question, today or tomor-
row. Share feelings.
Today is a 6
Opposites attract, even now. The
action is behind the scenes. Its a good
day to fle away papers and get the
household in order. Enjoy the results.
Today is a 5
Youre very attractive now, and extra
brilliant. Others ask your advice. Invest
in communications infrastructure. Add
some relaxation to the equation. Write,
record and get it down.
Today is a 7
Make money while you can, but
dont lose your passion in that focus.
There are so many other things to cel-
ebrate and experience. Doing what you
love increases interest and money.
OCTOBER 27
Today is a 7
You solve the problem. Amaz-
ing ideas come to you, even in
your sleep. Write them down so you
wont forget. Chores take priority.
Draw upon hidden resources.
Today is a 5
Consider only brilliant suggestions.
Dont be stopped by nonsense consid-
erations, only by those that your intu-
ition can trust. Think about things until
youre sure.
Today is a 6
Open your eyes for new opportunities
that are in front of you but that you may
just miss. Swallow your pride to avoid
an argument. You have more important
things to do.
.
Today is a 5
Make room for greatness by get-
ting rid of old, bad habits or junk. Let
intuition guide your decision. Condi-
tions are a bit unstable, so hold on to a
handrail or someone sturdy.
Today is a 6
You deliver a surprise, and its most-
ly well received. Dont sweat the small
stuff; you cant always please everyone.
Dont alienate a loved one though.
Today is a 5
Welcome an unexpected assign-
ment. Your oar is deep into emotional
seas. Reassess the situation to gain
insight into your partners desires.
Avoid aggression.
Today is a 6
Toss irrelevant junk. Do you really
need the clutter? Creativity is re-
quired to manage an error at work.
Figure out what youre doing that
works and what doesnt.
Today is a 5
A creative spark ignites a series
of positive results. Theres no need to
brag. Others know your value. Listen to
an unexpected suggestion. Keep costs
low ... money isnt everything.
Today is a 7
Clear up confusion before proceed-
ing. A disagreeable situation or awk-
ward moment could get worse. And
theres a high possibility of error. Figure
out a brilliant solution. Recount your
blessings.
Today is a 7
Continue your investigation. Add
some play and get the answer when you
least expect it. Defnitely watch out for
hidden agendas. The truth is revealed.
Today is a 6
You are never, ever getting back to-
gether with your ex. You are never, ever
getting back together with your ex. You
are never, ever getting back together
with your ex.
Today is a 5
Surprise everyone by keeping a clear
mind in the middle of the fog. But dont
do everything yourself. A brilliant solu-
tion appears with a friend.
OCTOBER 28

your wings and fy. Youre in luck!
Stand up for yourself.

Hours and endless hot glue
sticks have gone into the costume
crafting, and now its time to show
them off. Today marks the begin-
ning of my self-proclaimed nation-
al holiday Halloweek, a week-
long celebration of scares, sexy
(male and female) costumes and
many late nights. Unfortunately
the University does not recognize
this glorious celebration, so classes
are still in session and that means
some serious time management.
I imagine that even if most of the
student populous isnt wearing cos-
tumes every day, there will still be
many of us enjoying the nightlife
more than once this week. So, in
a break from my usual format,
here are some tips on how to make
the most of your Halloweek while
still remaining a useful member
of society.
Plan it out
I know I usually offer some
insight into things going on around
town, but its Halloweek, so look
any direction and youll find some-
thing to do. This being said, if you
plan on going out weeknights (like
tonight) and have an early class the
next day (like I do), then youre
going to want to prepare for the
rough morning. First off, know
where youre going. I know theres a
lot of fun to aimlessly adventuring
through the night, seeing where it
takes you, but this will be a long
week, so pick a place early. This
will makes carpools/SafeRide pick-
ups easier to schedule and will keep
you from walking home at 4 a.m.
Thats what weekends are for, kids.
Do your homework early
Im not your mummy, but just
because you want to go out every
night this week doesnt mean your
teachers are going to stop assign-
ing things, so make sure all your
schoolwork gets done early. Dont
say youll do it when you get home
or youll wake up early to do it,
because youre lying to yourself.
After a long night in a costume,
youll crash hard.
its a marathon, not a race
Sure weve all had some long
weekends before, but as with most
holidays we tend to go the extra
mile for fun, and Halloweek is sure
to leave you worn out. So dont try
and pique early. Have fun tonight,
but take it easy and keep building
up throughout the week. A night of
the living can easily turn into a day
of the dead if you go too hard.
try something new
Every bar in town will have
some sort of Halloween party, cos-
tume contest or delightfully dread-
ful drink special, but instead of
heading to the usual spots, break
free and go somewhere youve
never been. Tonic, The Hawk and
Brothers are going to be busier
than ever, and if youve put some
effort into an awesome costume
(like a cardboard Iron Man suit
I plan on wearing Friday night)
bumping into hundreds of people
and barely being able to breathe
isnt going to do well for you or
your costume.
More than anything, though,
just have fun this week and be safe.
Once a year its OK for everyone to
stay out late, dress up funny and act
like kids again, so make the most of
the holiday. Ive got a weeks worth
of costumes ready, my plans nailed
down and a lack of humility, so lets
celebrate Halloweek, because one
day just isnt enough.

halloween will offer a long list of fun events all week long, but make sure to keep
up with your classes. whether youre fnishing an essay or your costume, make time
to get everything done before you head out into the night.
Taylor Swift began as a 16-year-
old country singer-songwriter with
big, curly hair. Six years later, she
has sleek, straight hair, and she isnt
singing much country music. She
has steadily moved from country
to pop, and her newest album,
Red, which was released Monday,
is no exception. And while it may
seem obvious that her music would
mature as she did, many have ques-
tioned if she was actually maturing
at all.
Red has quieted those ques-
tions. She has certainly matured
and has done so quite pleasant-
ly, unless you want the country
cutie back. With lyrics like, A new
notch in your belt is all Ill ever be
on I Knew You Were Trouble, she
broaches a subject from which she
has previously
shied away: sex.
Swift mentions
nights when
you made me
your own on
the detail-ori-
ented All Too
Well, and a
prevalent theme
of the album is her many intimate
moments with a guy.
With her new-found maturi-
ty, she has also discovered other
genres, like dubstep on I Knew
You Were Trouble. The album
only has a hint of her twangy roots
on one song, Stay Stay Stay, which
also seems to be the most juvenile.
The title track begins with a simple
banjo similar to her Grammy-
winning song Mean from her
third album, Speak Now, but the
song Red soon becomes another
pop song about a rough breakup,
following suit with most of the rest
of the album. Its one of the albums
lower points, mixing genres and
including less-than-perfect meta-
phors in the lyrics, like the line,
Fighting with him was like trying
to solve a crossword and realiz-
ing theres no right answer, which
doesnt actually happen. Like, ever.
Swifts first of five pre-released
singles from the album, We Are
Never Ever Getting Back Together,
which hit No. 1 on the Billboard
Hot 100, may have been what
caused critics to think she was hav-
ing issues maturing. But the sar-
castic, adolescent vibe seems to be
more poking fun at her presumed
immaturity with its lyrics than
serious about how much she really
hates that ex-boyfriend (rumored
to be Jake Gyllenhaal) she keeps
dating.
Swift teamed up with song-
writing-supers Max Martin and
Shellback for this album, in contrast
to Speak Now, which she wrote
completely alone. This album also
features two duets, one with Gary
Lightbody from Snow Patrol and
one with Ed Sheeran, an upcoming
British singer-songwriter.
Swift said she wanted to step
out of her comfort zone for this
album, and she did that excellent-
ly, bringing her ever-adoring fans
along with her. The lyric Were
happy, free, confused and lonely
in the best way/Its miserable and
magical on the dance anthem 22
sums up the entire album. Red is
a whirlwind of emotions, and its
the stepping stone Swift needed
into adulthood.

There couldnt have been a worse
time for the Kansas defenses worst
game. Starting out the murderers
row of Big 12 play with a 52-7
against Oklahoma only added to
the notion that football fans were
watching the same Kansas team
from the last few years.
But the defense that got torn
apart by the Sooners isnt an accu-
rate representation of the 2012
Jayhawks. The team that held TCU
and Oklahoma State to 20 points is
needed to find what it lost against
Oklahoma.
They had to get their swagger
back.
Thats what we do on Sunday,
head coach Charlie Weis said
of pumping his team up. They
have to be ready to move on, and
usually by practicing on Sunday
that really takes care of the major-
ity of the problems.
The Sunday practice has been a
hot topic recently. After losing to
Kansas State, Weis held a scrim-
mage the next day without any
seniors, sparking chatter that he
was no longer focused on them.
Yet it was the complete opposite
two weeks later. In fact, defen-
sive coordinator Dave Campo told
Weis that he did more coaching
last Sunday than at any other point
this season.
Weis gave Campo 45 minutes to
work individually with his players
and in the little amount of time,
large steps were taken. Campo
set to work on the basics of the
game with each player, breaking
down further and further how
they could improve.
Its all the sudden, Whoa, I
understand what hes talking
about, Campo said of his players
on Sunday. From that standpoint
it is confidence. Some of those
guys reverted back to a lot of stuff
they did in high school because
they dont have the experience to
take the technique from the prac-
tice field to the game.
Campo admitted that much of
Sundays work was to prepare for
the future even though Kansas still
ran on a win now mentality. But
the individual sessions had one
resounding effect slowly the
confidence that was present after
playing Oklahoma State began
reemerging.
It was crucial, senior defen-
sive end Toben Opurum said. We
needed that practice to move for-
ward. Watching film, dwelling on
the past, it hurt a lot of the guys.
A lot of guys felt like they got
fundamentally better, and thats
what we needed.
Senior defensive lineman Josh
Williams said the Oklahoma game
was bad across the board, but he
wouldnt let it take away from
what the Jayhawks accomplished
against the Cowboys.
For Williams, not all hope was
lost after giving up 38 points in the
first half to the Sooners. Too much
of the season was still ahead.
We built some momentum at
the end of the Oklahoma State
game, Williams said. To go
and have a tough loss like that,
I wouldnt say we lost it; we just
have to regroup and refocus and
continue to move forward.
Of course one Sunday cant fix
all of Kansas problems. Campo
said the improvements in practice
are baby steps on a much longer
road. Its what the practice did for
the team mentally that may be the
biggest triumph.
The defensive showing against
Oklahoma is hardly on track with
what the Jayhawks have been
doing this year. A shot at Texas
in Lawrence and on Homecoming
provides just the stage to prove
it.
Williams and Opurum agreed
the baby steps and confidence
boosters were helpful but not the
final solution at least not after
getting wiped by Oklahoma.
A game like that puts a bad
taste in your mouth and bad blood
in you, Williams said. The only
thing to wipe away a game like
that is winning a game.

K
ansas has reached back-
to-back Final Fours twice
in its history. First in 1952
and 1953 and again in 2002 and
2003.
But unlike many Final Four
teams, the Jayhawks return a solid
nucleus this season.
If they can complete the feat for
a third time and make their way to
Atlanta in April, heres how theyll
do it:
1. If Elijah Johnson plays like he
did down the stretch last season.
Johnson averaged 10.2 ppg last
year but was hot late in the season.
The junior guard finsihed with
double figures in each of the last
eight games which averaged out
to 15.1 points in that stretch. His
clutch three-pointer and two steals
against Purdue saved Kansas from
an early exit. Now with Tyshawn
Taylor and Thomas Robinson in
the NBA, Johnson will need to
play like that consistently with less
off games.
2. If Jeff Withey makes The
Jump. Kansas big men have been
making The Jump for some time
now. Cole Aldrich went from 2.8
ppg his freshman year to 14.9
ppg as a sophomore. Markieff
Morris jumped from 6.8 to 13.6
ppg between his sophomore and
junior year, and in that same time,
his brother Marcus leaped from
12.8 to 17.2 ppg. Filling in for the
guy behind them has been one of
the main fixtures in Kansas eight
straight conference titles. Bill Self
called it bridging the gap. With a
number of freshman on this years
roster, Withey will have to bridge
the gap if this team wants to con-
tinue the streak and play in April.
3. Speaking of freshmen, for-
mer Marquette coach Al McGuire
once said: The best thing about
freshmen is that they become
sophomores. But if those high
expectations are to be met, at least
a few of the five true freshman will
need to contribute immediately. Id
put my money on Perry Ellis and
Andrew White.
Ellis, a McDonalds High School
All-American, could start most
of the season at the four spot.
I wouldnt be shocked if senior
Kevin Young begins the year in
the starting lineup but Ellis could
take over early on. Hes talented
enough but its just a matter of
getting used to playing in Self s
system. White is a sharpshooter
who will get plenty of minutes if
his jumper is falling.
4. Redshirt freshmen Ben
McLemore and Jamari Traylor
dont play like freshman. With a
year around the program and a
semester of practices under their
belts, McLemore and Traylor
have more expectations than
the average redshirt freshman.
McLemore will start on the wing
and is projected to be a first round
pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Traylor went up against Thomas
Robinson every day in practice
second semester and Self said he
held his own three out of five days,
the other two going to Robinson.
A 60 percent success rate against
a top-5 NBA pick isnt bad, and
Traylor should supply more depth
in the post behind Withey and
create a nice battle for the fifth
starting spot with Ellis.

Jayhawks fall to stout Cyclones squad
volleyball
Te Kansas Jayhawks fended of
seven match points Wednesday
night at Iowa State, but their in-
ability to hold leads eventually cost
them in a 3-1 loss.
Trailing the match 2-1, Kansas
used fve blocks to grab an 18-14
lead in the fourth set. Te Cyclones
had swept the Jayhawks in Ames
every year since Kansas won 3-2 in
2004, but the Jayhawks looked like
they might be about to push the
match to fve sets and maybe steal
another 3-2 victory.
Ten Iowa State won the next
seven points to go up 21-19 and
take control of the match for good.
Tey get hot ofensively and
they can transition you, they can
side you out, they can do a lot of dif-
ferent things, coach Ray Bechard
said. We got in our own way some-
times, but lets give credit to a team
that played well.
Leading 24-22, Iowa State out-
side hitter Victoria Hurtt commit-
ted an attack error that kept Kansas
alive for at least one more point.
However, Hurtt atoned for her er-
ror on the next point, ending the set
with a kill and giving the Cyclones a
3-1 victory. Te loss dropped Kan-
sas to 19-4 on the season and 7-2 in
Big 12 play.
Te Jayhawks blew an even big-
ger lead in the third set, and it near-
ly cost them the match then.
Afer coming out fat at the be-
ginning of the frst two sets, Kan-
sas stormed to a 14-6 lead in the
third set behind four kills by junior
middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc
and three by freshman outside hit-
ter Tiana Dockery. Afer Iowa State
closed the gap to 14-10, Kansas re-
sponded with a 4-1 run to push its
lead to seven points.
But then Iowa State showed why
they are so tough to beat at home.
Te Cyclones went on a 13-3 run
that included six straight kills to
take a 24-21 lead and grab match
point. With all of their momentum
zapped, Kansas had every reason to
fold.
Instead of wilting, however, Kan-
sas won the next three points to tie
the set at 24. Iowa State grabbed
leads of 25-24, 26-25 and 27-26,
but Kansas fought of match point
each time. Kansas used a kill and an
Iowa State attack error to win the
set, 29-27.
I think they just got us a little
out of rhythm and kind of fus-
tered, junior setter Erin McNorton
said. Ten again, I think were re-
ally good at staying calm when that
does happen. Tey went in once
they got the ball back, and again we
had a big block.
Te Jayhawks committed 29 at-
tack errors, including nine in the
second set, and hit .147 for the
match compared to Iowa States
.168. However, Kansas outblocked
the Cyclone 14-8, which kept Kan-
sas in every set, especially the third.
Sophomore outside hitter Chelsea
Albers staved of two match points
in the third set by blocking two
Iowa State attacks.
Kansas may not have needed
such desperate play in the third and
fourth sets if they didnt have such
slow starts in the frst two sets. Iowa
State broke open the frst set with a
5-0 run that gave them a 10-5 ad-
vantage, and they began the second
set with a 10-4 run.
Te Jayhawks eventually tied
both sets, and even led the second
set briefy, but couldnt avoid com-
mitting crucial errors that kept
them from grabbing a comfortable
lead. Iowa State earned fve service
aces in the frst set, and the Jay-
hawks committed nine attack er-
rors in the second set.
It all starts with frst contact, and
that was a large part of the struggle,
Jarmoc said. Teyre really good at
targeting somebody and constantly
driving at them.
Bechard said the way Kansas
started the frst two sets was what
upset him the most.
Te disappointing part of it was
the starts we got out to in both the
frst two sets, Bechard said. Tey
had fve service aces in the frst set
and seven for the match, so that
tells you they just came out smok-
ing with the serve.
Te Jayhawks are of until Mon-
day, when they host West Virginia
at home at 6:30 p.m.

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda Padraig
Harrington is a winner for the frst time in
two years, even if the PGA Grand Slam of
Golf was only an exhibition.
Four days afer Harrington agreed to fll
in for British Open champion Ernie Els, he
ran of three straight birdies early on the
back nine and closed with a 4-under 67
Wednesday for a one-shot win over U.S.
Open champion Webb Simpson at Port
Royal.
Harrington, a three-time major champi-
on, lost in playofs at the PGA Grand Slam
in 2007 and 2008. He wound up winning on
his third try as an alternate in the 36-hole
event for the seasons major champions.
His last ofcial win was the Johor Open
on the Asian Tour in late 2010.
I think we havent had a win in a long
time and Ive got to tell you, they dont
come around anywhere near as ofen as
you believe they come around, said Har-
rington, who fnished on 9-under 133 and
earned $600,000. And when you win, you
make sure you enjoy it. And it was unfn-
ished business for me, having lost in two
playofs. It was nice to come back and win
it now. Yeah, it feels good. I havent won in
a while, so you know, its nice. Winning is a
habit and its nice to do it.
Harrington agreed last Saturday to re-
place Els, who has a minor ankle injury.
Te Irishman had been scheduled to play
the BMW Masters in Shanghai this week.
He became only the second European to
win this event, joining Ian Woosnam in
1991.
Simpson lost ground afer the turn and
never caught up, despite a bogey-free 65
that lef him one shot behind.
Masters champion Bubba Watson,
whose four birdies were ofset by two bo-
gey and a double bogey, had a 71. He tied
for third or tied for last, considering it
was only a four-man feld with Keegan
Bradley, who had a 67. Bradley replaced
PGA champion Rory McIlroy, who is play-
ing in Shanghai.
F
or 18 long years, the Kansas Chiefs
have failed to win a playof game. De-
spite this, Chiefs fans have long been
considered some of the best in the NFL.
Under GM Scott Pioli and owner Clark
Hunt, the Chiefs franchise has changed. I
cant quite tell you when it happened, but this
current management has changed my view
on the Chiefs. Pioli and Hunt have an arro-
gance about themselves that has isolated the
fans from the team.
Te frustration of fans is hogging the ra-
dio, written about in the papers and is seen at
Arrowhead Stadium. Arrowhead, which the
Chiefs have dubbed the loudest stadium in
the NFL, is no longer a scary proposition for
opposing teams. Te atmosphere has changed
since Pioli joined the Chiefs in 2009, and bad
decisions are constantly being made.
Kansas City currently has over $20 million
in unused salary cap space. Tis is concern-
ing for fans, especially when the team let
Brandon Carr leave for more money in Dal-
las. Carr, 26, is a very good NFL cornerback
with his best years ahead.
In addition to the departure of Carr is the
looming exit of Dwayne Bowe. Te Chiefs
best wide receiver is reportedly wanting out
and will be an unrestricted free agent in the
ofseason. Pioli failed to reach a deal with
Bowe on a long-term contract during the
summer and instead placed the franchise tag
on him. Te team selected the cheapest op-
tion and now are all but guaranteed to lose
Bowe to free agency.
In addition to these recent errors, Pioli
started his reign by drafing Tyson Jackson
with the third overall pick in the 2009 NFL
Draf and signing Matt Cassel to a $63 million
contract through 2014. Jackson has steadily
improved as a defensive end, collecting a ca-
reer high of 55 tackles in 2011. He was a huge
reach when we drafed him and has never
played up to the level of a top pick.
Tis is where we come to Matt Cassel.
Te quarterback played well in New Eng-
land when replacing an injured Tom Brady
in 2008, and thats when Pioli brought Cassel
with him to Kansas City. During his time in
Kansas City, Cassel is 19-25 with one division
title. In 2010, Cassel threw 27 touchdowns
and seven interceptions under the guidance
of current Kansas coach Charlie Weis, who
was the Chiefs ofensive coordinator. In the
three other seasons as the Chiefs signal caller,
Cassel has thrown three more interceptions
than touchdowns. Te recent demotion of
Cassel in favor of Brady Quinn means the
team will likely need to draf a quarterback
for the frst time since 1985.
Cassel is ofen one of the biggest issues
with Pioli and the Chiefs organization. Tis
was no more evident than when Chiefs fans
cheered the entry of Brady Quinn into the
game while Cassel remained injured on the
feld. However, Brady Quinn is not the an-
swer, and his frst game against Tampa Bay
proved it.
Te 2011 season saw the Chiefs lose key
players to injury and exposing the lack of
depth in the roster. Te lack of depth is pri-
marily through poor drafs during Piolis ten-
ure as GM. In the 2012 NFL Draf, the Chiefs
selected defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Te
Memphis player had an incredible NFL com-
bine, vaulting his draf status despite the lack
of performance on the feld in college.
Tese issues have led to the deterioration
of the relationship between the fans and the
team. Pioli is at a pivotal point with the fans
and needs to rethink how the team is run be-
fore the fans desert the Chiefs.

enough the role of the general man-
ager in Kansas City from a public

After splitting results this past
weekend, Kansas only has one
match remaining in the regular
season before playing in the Big 12
tournament.
The Jayhawks started the week-
end out strong, dominating the
Cyclones of Iowa State 4-1 Friday.
Four different players found the
net, while three different players
earned assists. Kansas had 18 shots
on goal, placing eight on target
compared to the Cyclones four.
Kansas first goal came from
freshman forward Courtney
Dickerson after she received a pass
from senior midfielder Amy Grow.
The Jayhawks did not relent for the
rest of the match, as Kansas would
score three more goals. Junior for-
ward/midfielder Caroline Kastor
gave the Jayhawks their second
goal in the first half, set up by
senior midfielder Sara Robbins.
The Jayhawks kept up the
momentum going into the second
half, scoring quickly in the 51st
minute. Senior forward/midfielder
Whitney Berry converted her sec-
ond penalty kick of the season.
Senior forward Nicole Chrisopulos
capitalized off a pass from Berry
later in the half, scoring Kansas
final goal, giving Chrisopulos her
first goal of the year.
Kansas defense stayed stout
throughout the match with senior
goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau collect-
ing three saves by the end of the
game.
On Sunday, Kansas faced an
evenly-matched Texas Tech squad
and played on its level both
teams took 16 shots yet was
unlucky as the Red Raiders pushed
through late in the second half to
win 3-1, dropping the Jayhawks
to 9-7-2 on the season and 3-5 in
conference.
Dickerson provided the lone goal
for Kansas, scoring her fourth goal
of the season early in the match.
Kansas would not be lucky enough
to find the back of the net again,
despite numerous close chances
and a controversial non-goal call
by the referees. Liebetrau had five
saves, bringing
her total to 29
this season.
We played
really well both
games, head
coach Mark
Francis said.
Kansas hosts
the Northern
Colorado Bears tomorrow for the
last match of the season, where
Kansas will honor the seniors for
their hard work and dedication.
The Bears, part of the Big Sky
conference, are 6-6-5 on the year
and 4-2-3 in conference play. They
are recently coming off a tie that
went into double overtime against
Weber State.
Despite being a team that strug-
gles on the road it holds a 1-3-3
record away from its home pitch
the Bears are a team that cant
be written off lightly. Northern
Colorado has 20 goals on the year,
10 short of the Jayhawks 30 and
averages 13 shots per game.
The Bears are led by junior for-
ward Brittany Dunn, who has four
goals this year. The Bears have
struggled this season with convert-
ing their opportunities into goals,
something that has also appeared
to loom over Kansas a few times
this season. After ending confer-
ence play with a tie, the Bears will
come to Lawrence hungry to end
the season with a win.
The Jayhawks are led by power-
house Kastor, who has 10 goals this
year. Kastor is followed by fresh-
man forward Ashley Williams,
who has seven, and Berry, who
has five. The scoring machines of
Kansas will have to get past the
Bears senior goalkeeper Natalie
DAdamio, who has five shutouts
this year and an impressive total
of 77 saves this season, in order to
secure a victory.
We just gotta keep doing the
things weve been doing, Francis
said. We just gotta fine-tune the
little things.

Practice can only teach you so
much, senior Angel Goodrich said
Wednesday before she did just that
practice.
Dont get the wrong idea, despite
sharing the same number as Allen
Iverson, Goodrich was not trying
to downplay the value of practice as
the former NBA point guard once
famously did. What she meant was
that you dont really know where
you are at as a team until you get
into game situations.
Sunday at 2 p.m. the Jayhawks
will be in a game situation for the
first time this season in the exhi-
bition against Washburn at Allen
Fieldhouse.
Once you get in the game,
you can see how far you are and
what you need to work on more,
Goodrich said. As far as the first
game, were just looking at getting
out there and doing what we need
to do to get a win.
There is no telling how many
minutes the starters will play,
but for the first game Goodrich
said the focus will be to explore
what the team has and determine
which rotations of players play well
together.
Aishah Sutherland is the only
player from last years Sweet 16
team who is not returning, so
Coach Bonnie Henrickson should
at least have an idea which players
will be on the court together.
On media day, Henrickson
hinted that senior Carolyn Davis
and sophomore Chelsea Gardner,
both post-players, will be playing
on the court together this season.
Henrickson said she does not typi-
cally play two post-players on the
court at the same time, but because
both players have the ability to
score, they can play together.
Its been something new for this
program, Goodrich said. I think
its really exciting for them as well,
so I think its going to be a pretty
good thing for us.
If defenses are forced to focus on
Davis and Gardner in the post, that
could be a good thing for the shoot-
ers on the team, like Goodrich,
senior Monica Engelman and soph-
omore Natalie Knight. Defense will
have to be willing to give the shoot-
ers more room on the outside in
order to cover the post.
One major difference the team
faces without Sutherland this year
is another source for rebounds.
Engelman said that is something
that the team will need to improve
on as a group.
We lost a lot with Aishah as
far as rebounding, Engelman said.
She was a beast on the boards. Its
always been a main focus with us
to go to the boards but I think even
more so with the little gap that she
leaves.
Along with rebounding,
Engelman and Goodrich both
mentioned that defense has been
a focus in practice. Last season
opponents averaged just over
63 points per game against the
Jayhawks while making 45.5 per-
cent of their shots.
There is no question that the
Jayhawks can score, especially in
transition, but the keys to the sea-
son will be how well they play
defense and rebound.

No. 14 Texas Tech 6-1 (3-1)
aT No. 3 KaNsas sTaTe 7-0 (4-
0)
Texas Tech quarterback Seth
Doege and Kansas State quarter-
back Collin Klein both came of the
game of their careers as they each
accounted for seven touchdowns
last week.
Te Red Raiders have climbed
their way up in the rankings this
season and hold an impressive 6-1
record. Doege will have to lead
Texas Tech to a tough environment
in an attempt to stun Kansas State
and create a tie for frst place in the
conference. Doeges top target in
the end zone is Eric Ward and the
two will look to connect again this
Saturday in Manhattan.
Klein, who is the reigning Big 12
Ofensive Player of the Week, will
be confronted by a stout defense.
Despite the challenge, Klein showed
before what he is capable of. He will
struggle at times, but manage to
pull Kansas State on top.
Defensively, Kansas State will
limit Texas Tech because of line-
backer Arthur Brown, who is the
reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of
the Week.
Kansas State wins, 27-24

Texas chrisTiaN 5-2 (2-2)
aT oKlahoma sTaTe 4-2 (2-1)
Texas Christian is coming of a
tough loss while Oklahoma State
looks to extend its winning streak
and avoid the .500 conference
record.
TCU coach Gary Patterson likes
what he is seeing from quarterback
Trevone Boykin as he is more con-
tented and relaxed as a starter. Hes
taken advantage of working with
receivers Brandon Carter, Josh
Boyce, Skye Dawson and LaDarius
Brown.
Oklahoma State has a lot of re-
ceivers who can help out quarter-
back J.W. Walsh, but the Cowboys
will lean on running back Joseph
Randle. Randle has 765 yards and
eight touchdowns on the year. But
their passing game may have issues
against TCUs defense.
TCUs racked up 11 sacks in the
conference. Oklahoma States of-
fensive line has played well this
year, but will need to play its best
game against TCU. If defensive end
Devonte Fields and defensive tackle
Davion Pierson beat the Cowboys
ofensive line, the Horned Frogs
could leave Stillwater with a win.
TCU wins, 31-21

No. 5 NoTre Dame 7-0 aT
No. 8 oKlahoma 5-1 (3-1)
Te atmosphere in Norman will
be electric Saturday night when two
powerhouse programs collide.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly
announced on Tuesday that sopho-
more quarterback Everett Golson
will start. Golson missed last weeks
game because of a concussion, but
is ready to return and lead his team
this week.
Notre Dames has a resilient
rushing trio in Teo Riddick,
Cierre Wood and George Atkin-
son III. Oklahomas run-stopping
defense has played well limited its
opponents in scoring.
But Notre Dame has restricted
its opponents from scoring as well.
Te Fighting Irish have not allowed
more than 17 points in a game this
season, making Oklahoma quar-
terback Landry Jones job more
difcult.
With Notre Dame scoring more
than 20 points only twice this sea-
son, the Sooners should outlast
the Fighting Irish in four grueling
quarters.
Oklahoma wins, 14-10

Baylor 3-3 (0-3) aT iowa sTaTe 4-3 (1-3)
Baylor and Iowa State are going into Week 9 desperate for a win. Baylor has lost its last three games and is still
seeking its frst conference game, while Iowa State has lost three of its last four matches.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence showed of some of his rushing abilities last week against Texas when he
ran for 69 yards and a pair of touchdowns. If Iowa States defense is not ready, Florence may try a mix of pass
and run against the Cyclones this week. He knows he still has Terrance Williams at wide receiver, who has
caught nine touchdowns and leads the nation in receiving yards with 1,013.
Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads is not happy with his quarterbacks. Te Cyclones are a quiet team ofensively
and havent accomplished much against conference opponents.
If Baylors defense successfully applies pressure to Steele Jantz or Jared Barnett, depending on who starts for
Iowa State, then Baylor should come out on top and pick up its long-overdue conference win.

Te will to succeed is greater
than the fear of failing.
You hear that saying all the time
when it comes to athletes. Teir
heart and drive allows them to con-
tinue to fght through any obstacles
that get in their way. Whether its
a thrashing by an opponent, pos-
sible cut from the team or injuries,
athletes usually have the will to get
over that barrier.
Jayhawks junior Natalie Becker
is no diferent. She has dealt with
injuries every year shes been at the
University, including this year.
But this year was diferent for
Becker than in years past because
there was speculation on whether
she would be a part of the cross
country team. Once she found out
there was a possibility she might
not be on the team, her will to suc-
ceed fought its way forward.
Confdence comes out, and I
know I want to compete. Itd be
easy to say that Im done and that
I dont want to do this anymore,
Becker said. Te want to compete
has driven me.
During the summer, Becker
found out she had a stress fracture
in her foot that was going to cause
her to miss training time, and po-
tentially the whole season.
Te injury frustrated Becker, but
she wasnt ready to give up.
Tere was no doubt in my mind
that Id be back, she said.
Ten another setback came
when the MRI showed infamma-
tion, which could sideline her for a
few more weeks.
When I found out that all my
injuries were delayed, I felt that all
my hard work had been for noth-
ing, Becker said. But then I just
told myself that, yeah, I can still
come back.
Assistant coach Michael Whit-
tlesey said Becker has shown great
commitment and perseverance
through everything and has had to
answer very tough questions within
herself.
A lot of times when you go
through what she has gone through,
you start to question how much
you want it, Whittlesey said. You
have to answer that because you
have to work that much harder and
stay that much more focused than
everyone else.
Trough the months that Becker
has been training and trying to get
back to full health, Whittlesey said
he could see the determination
within Becker become real once
more.
You could see that spark back
in her eyes that said, Yeah, I still
have it, Whittlesey said. Its the
fre thats within her pushing to her
to get back.
Becker said she has learned a lot
while being faced with injuries and
had the realization that cross coun-
try might not be there tomorrow.
I dont take any workout for
granted, Becker said. I know it
could be taken away just like that
because it has happened before.

Michael Cummings might be able to rest easy knowing for certain that hes
the Jayhawks starting quarterback, but he cant be expected to turn around the
offense by himself and certainly not in one week. The backfeld of James Sims
and Tony Pierson will be crucial against a Texas run defense ranked 107th in the
nation.

Last week defensive coordinator Dave Campo said that his players were trying to
take four steps forward for every two they took back. Against Texas well fnd out just
how many steps have been taken and in which direction. The Longhorns are averag-
ing 44 points per game, yet Kansas has for the most part played well against
high-powered offenses this season.
mOmeNTum
After getting stomped by Oklahoma the Jayhawks fnd them-
selves in a familiar situation. They are sitting in the cellar of the
Big 12, but have a chance to improve greatly over the next few
weeks. Thats mainly due to the competition Kansas will face. Three
ranked teams beginning with Texas remain on the Jayhawks
schedule, and while Kansas isnt in the running for a championship
this season, it certainly has a chance to play spoiler for the teams
that are.
aT a GLaNce
Now that Weis has solidifed
Cummings as his quarterback,
his schemes will have a little
more creativity. Last week Weis
designed a quarterback-run
option for the freshman to use
if needed on most plays. Its
certain there will be more of
that given Cummings mobil-
ity.
cOachING PLayer TO WaTch
Fixing the Jayhawks special teams is
as vital as any other improvement being
made. Kansas will continue to beat it-
self unless there is signifcant progress
on the kickoff and punt coverage. A feld
goal kicker would be nice too, as coach
Charlie Weis has noted for weeks now.
sPecIaL Teams
?
quesTION marKs
?
How will the Kansas defense respond after getting trounced by a strong Oklahoma
offense?
The Jayhawks hadnt been knocked out of a game before halftime all year, how will
that change the way Kansas plays in the frst half? And can Michael Cummings be the
quarterback that the Jayhawks desperately need?
No one is expecting the freshman to start for the next three years not with Jake
Heaps about to become eligible next year so can he turn a few heads and start a
battle for next season? And even more intriguing, what happens now to team captain
Dayne Crist?
Will Weis fnd a way to work him into the game plan or have his playing days ended
early?
Kansas doesnt fall apart. Weis
has preached that the Jayhawks
will be more competitive this year
and by all means they have
been but weve seen just how
bad a season can get in the ev-
erlasting second half. Simply put,
this team is desperate for a win
and those odds only worsen with
each loss.

Quarterback David Ash has a lot of lethal weapons on offense. Hes distributed the ball
well to his receivers. Jaxon Shipley has caught 268 yards and four touchdown passes on the
year. Another key receiver Ash has on board is Mike Davis, who has 30 catches for 500 yards
and four touchdowns on the season. Although running back Joe Bergeron has rushed for
only two 100-yard games, he can fnd a way to punch it in the end zone and give Texas the
upper hand on the scoreboard. An area where the Longhorns may struggle when visiting the
Jayhawks is when they have the ball in the red zone. The Jayhawks are ranked second in the
conference in red zone defense and could complicate things for the Longhorns offense.

Texas defense is led by defensive end Alex Okafor, who has won the teams Defensive
Player of the Game award three times this season. Okafor has 4.5 sacks in conference
play. Texas has collected 10 sacks in its four conference games, while Kansas has allowed
13 sacks in its four Big 12 contests. The Longhorns know they will have to be quick on
applying pressure on Michael Cummings because he is a more mobile quarterback. Texas
has also succeeded in frustrating quarterbacks with its defensive backs. The Longhorns
have nine interceptions on the season and are led by cornerback Quandre Diggs, who has
three. But Texas must step up its red zone defense, which is tied for last in the Big 12.
mOmeNTum
Dont be fooled by Texas eighth conference ranked offense. While
the Longhorns incurred a few road blocks offensively, theyve man-
aged to fnd the end zone. Thats because quarterback David Ash
has limited his turnovers and played a big role in the Longhorns
converting on nearly 52 percent of their third downs. The most im-
pressive part about the Longhorns is that theyve played 16 true
freshmen, tied for most in the FBS.
aT a GLaNce
Mack Brown, who is in his 14th year with
Texas, turned around the football program since
being hired in 1998. Since Brown took over, the
Longhorns have had nine 10-win seasons after
having only two over a decade before Brown ar-
rived in Austin. Hes compiled a 9-4 bowl record
with Texas, the most out of any coach is school
history. Brown posted a 69-46-1 record in North
Carolina and an 11-23 record in Tulane before he
came to Texas. Brown served as an offensive as-
sistant for many schools, including a job as the
offensive coordinator in Oklahoma, before land-
ing his head coaching positions.
cOachING
Texas running
back Joe Bergeron
has been unstop-
pable this season,
evidenced by hisr-
nine rushing touch-
downs in the last
three games. After
a quiet start to the
season, hes tied for
ffth in the nation in
rushing touchdowns with 15 and has become
a big asset for the Longhorns.
PLayer TO WaTch
The special teams defensive unit has shined this season for Texas.
The Longhorns lead the Big 12 and are tied for frst in the nation
in blocked feld goals and punts with six. Mykkele Thompson
leads the team with two blocks. On the other side of the ball,
kick returner D.J. Monroe has the highest kick return aver-
age in the conference. He returned a kickoff 100 yards for
a touchdown against Oklahoma State earlier this season.
With the Jayhawks struggling last week on special teams,
Monroe would like to record a big return this week. The Longhorns will have
Penn State transfer Anthony Fera as their place kicker, who is one of two on
feld goal attempts so far.

quesTION marKs
?
Can Texas stop James Sims?
Texas has a tough task ahead when it has to stop James Sims, who has the second
highest rushing average per game in the Big 12. The Longhorns are last in the confer-
ence in stopping the run. Sims has a big advantage on the ground and is poised to
run all over the Longhorns on Saturday if Diaz cant come up with a good game plan
to stop the run.
How will Texas prepare for Michael Cummings?
Coach Charlie Weis announced Tuesday that quarterback Michael Cummings will
start this Saturday against Texas. Although Cummings is inexperienced, Texas has
little knowledge of who Cummings is and what he is capable of. Texas defensive
coordinator Manny Diaz wont have much game flm to study.
Texas scores 50 or more points
on Kansas. Texas was one of six
Big 12 teams that scored at least
50 points last weekend, and Kan-
sas just fell victim to Oklahoma by
allowing 52 points. The Jayhawks
spent all week improving on their
defense after last weeks loss and
having given up over 50 points
twice this season.

Afer the national television debut of his open
love letter to Kansas Basketball, ESPNs 30 for
30: Teres No Place Like Home, director Josh
Swade took some time to talk to the Kansan
about his quest to bring James Naismiths origi-
nal rules of basketball back to the University of
Kansas.

television
Director answers questions about 30 for 30
bLaKe schusTer
Who is your favorite
JayhaWk?
Danny Manning, without a question. I
watched the [1988 National Championship]
game at home with my entire family and
friends of ours.

hoW DiD the film become a
30 for 30?
We went out on the road and did the flm,
and we had nothing to do with ESPN at that
point. Tey caught wind of it and were really
taken by it. One of the reasons they respond-
ed to it so strongly is that its such a departure
for them. If people are used to watching 30
for 30, this is going to come out of lef feld.
When we originally signed on to do it with
ESPN, no one ever told me it was going to be
a 30 for 30. I only found out it was going to
be a 30 for 30 a couple of months ago. I had
to pinch myself when I found that out because
Im such a fan of the series, and its unbeliev-
able to be included in that.
DiD you Donate any money toWarD
buying the rules?
If I had the money it took, I gladly would
have pitched it in. Tere was a moment when
I was speaking to David [Booth] where I of-
fered to do that. We built a website, and once
we did all the media hits people started reach-
ing out and pledging money over email, ask-
ing if there was a PayPal account. I basically
had to respond to people and say, Hey, hold
of. I dont know yet. Tere wasnt enough
time. When we went out on the road we only
had three weeks.

Was there any purpose for your
trip to Duke other than to sing
rock chalk at cameron inDoor?
We kept hearing about the Smithsonian,
the Basketball Hall of Fame and Duke. Tose
were the three big names that were being ru-
mored. With Duke, we were just down the
road in Chapel Hill, NC., so it was just kind
of to go check it out. Tere was a practice go-
ing on, and we did have to talk to someone,
but they just let us in. Tere were people there
who probably thought I was a bit crazy. When
youre just rolling with your buddy who is the
camera guy, youre not thinking Oh, this is
going to be on ESPN one day, youre just sort
of messing around.
hoW DiD you feel When roy
Williams left kansas? hoW Do you
feel after intervieWing him?
I was very upset like a lot of fans were. [His
answers were] shocking and totally unex-
pected. I didnt push him at all. Im far from
a seasoned interviewer; thats not a skill of
mine. I didnt have a special ability to pull this
out of him. He ofered that. It was shocking
how sincere it was.

hoW harD Was it to sit on that inter-
vieW for tWo years?
It was very difcult. I would sort of men-
tion it to my inner circle, and they didnt even
believe me.

Was there anything else you WoulD
have likeD to incluDe in the film?
Anytime youre doing something like this,
theres a million stories within stories. We
went up and interviewed the guys at the Bas-
ketball Hall of Fame, and we werent able to
fnd a place for it in our total run time. But
those guys really had some neat things to say
about the rules.

What Was the most sur-
prising part of the Whole
process?
Kevin Kietzman having me on
his show. He catches a lot of heat
in Kansas City about favoring K-
State, his alma mater, but he really
supported me and had me on for
a solid 15 minutes. If he never has
me on, then the Allen family never
hears about what Im doing. But
the most surprising thing is when
David Booth actually won the auc-
tion.

DiD you knoW hoW high DaviD booth
WoulD biD on the rules?
When I showed up to his ofce, all he told
me was, I fnally talked to coach Self, and
coach Self is pretty fred up about it. When
he said that to me, I thought, Ok, thats a
pretty good thing. So I knew that there was
some excitement and some willingness to
win, but I had no clue he was going to go that
far. It was nerve-racking beyond belief.
Whats next for you?
I work for a production company, and we do
the ESPY awards for ESPN and the NFL Hon-
ors awards show, which is the night before the
Super Bowl. So I will jump into production on
that and will put the flm stuf on hold for a
while. Te one thing that has to be there, for
me, is passion. If its something Im passionate
about, Im called to do it. Ten its not a job,
its just fun.

Last week in college football,
six out of 10 teams in the Big 12
scored at least 50 or more points.
Two conference matchups featured
a shootout in which both teams
hit the half-century mark on the
scoreboard.
Six offenses in the conference
produced 50 or more points,
including the Texas offense Kansas
will face on Saturday.
Kansas defensive coordinator
Dave Campo served as a secondary
coach and defensive coordinator in
the NFL for the past 22 years. As
a Big 12 defensive coach, Campos
learning more about the confer-
ence and is
enthral l ed
with offens-
es he comes
across each
week.
Its a
very explo-
sive league,
C a m p o
said. The
teams in
this league
have quarterbacks and have skilled
athletes. Youre dealing with a lot of
fire power on offense. That makes
it very difficult for the defense
when youve got those kind of play-
ers.
Campo said that Mike Stoops,
defensive coordinator of Oklahoma,
joked with him that the Big 12 is
not a league to be a defensive coor-
dinator. Last year, four teams from
the Big 12 finished in the top 10 in
points per game. Right now there
are six teams from the league in the
top 11 in points per game. Baylor,
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are
placed in the top five.
Its hard not to be aware how
many points that are being scored
in the Big 12, said Kansas defen-
sive line coach Buddy Wyatt. The
Big 12 offensively presents a big
problem. Its not that the defenses
are so bad. The offenses are just
that good. Its difficult to defend.
They make you
defend the width
of the field and
the length of the
field.
Campo admit-
ted that coaching
defense in the
Big 12 is one of
the most difficult
things in college
football. Players
feel their job can be just as diffi-
cult. While each offense in the Big
12 is different, they all still man-
age to accomplish their top goal
of winning.
Everyone can score in this
league, Kansas linebacker Ben
Heeney said. Its a different game
plan, different scheme for each
team every week. We just try to
put ourselves in the best position
to beat that next team, which is
Texas.
Last week, Texas allowed Baylor
to score 50 points. Luckily for the
Longhorns, they scored 56 points
to be able to come away victorious.
Most Big 12 teams have received
votes in polls and rankings this sea-
son because of their high-powered
offense.
The whole Big 12 is playing
very well right now, said Kansas
defensive end and captain Toben
Opurum. Youve got a tough
opponent every week. Its pretty
much what youre used to. Theres
no easy days or no easy week.
Although Kansas has a 1-6 record
and have allowed 50 points or more
twice this season, the defense has
managed to compete with some of
the elite offenses in the league.
Kansas held TCU and Oklahoma
State to 20 points each. Kansas is
second in the Big 12 in red zone
defense.
Campo is looking for more con-
sistency from his players. If the
defense can be more stable, it will
give the Jayhawks a chance to
pull out its first conference win
in 16 games.
[We need to] run to the ball,
try to make turnovers, get picks
and force fumbles, Heeney said.
Anything like that to try and get
the ball out and get the ball back to
the offense.

Powered by the strength of a
great freshman class, the Kansas
Waterski Club had its best season
in years.
Club president Katie Barnes, a
senior from Overland Park, said
this years great mix of young skiers
and veteran skiers was a main fac-
tor in the success of the season.
Barnes also said luck was a big
factor this season, as a few fresh-
man joined the team and consis-
tently placed in their individual
events.
In waterskiing you have to get
lucky and get people that have been
doing it their whole life, Barnes
said. Its hard to teach people who
are just learning to ski how to go
out and get big scores for your
team.
With the development of older
team members and the infusion
of young talent in this years club,
the womens club was ranked third,
the mens finished 18th-ranked,
and the team as a whole finished
were ranked eighth by the National
Collegiate Waterskiing Association.
The team competed in the regional
tournament and finished in the
top five out of more than twenty
teams, which qualified them for
the Division 1 nationals for the
first time in club history. The club
qualified for Division II nationals
in 2009.
This year the club finished ninth
at nationals and had many club
members set personal bests in their
respective events.
The club competes in three
events every tournament: slalom,
trick and jump.
The slalom event requires the
skier to maneuver around six
buoys. The speed at which they
go through the course increases
by two miles per hour each time
they successfully maneuver around
a buoy.
In the trick competition skiers
perform various tricks that have
predetermined scores for perform-
ing each trick.
Finally, in the jump competition
the skier goes over a ramp and
is judged based on the distance
traveled.
The tournaments are over a
weekend and typically have one
event each day. The tournaments
are not just a competition; they
are also social
events in
which every-
one camps
out by the
lake, said
Barnes.
There is
always just
one person
on the lake at
a time, so the
entire team is on the shore cheer-
ing on that person, said Hunter
Hamilton, a junior from Bucyrus.
Sometimes we will all do a leg kick
or even moon the person on the
water as they go by. We are one big
happy family on the waterski club.
The waterski club competed in
nationals last weekend, and mem-
bers said it was one of the best
experiences they have ever had.
Some members of
the team set per-
sonal bests. For
freshman Connor
Doran, it was the
first time he ever
competed in the
jump event. Since
some members
were not able to
make it to the tournament, Connor
competed in the jump event to help
the team.
I was jumping against people
who were record holders, and I
didnt really know how to do it
until I got to the starting dock,
Doran said. It was definitely an
experience to remember, especially
because the announcer announced
to the crowd that it was my first
time.
Although Doran did not suc-
cessfully land a jump, he said it was
a great experience and is some-
thing he will remember for a long
time.
Hamilton said along with set-
ting his personal best in slalom, his
favorite part of nationals was how
all the teams from the midwest
region bonded. Every time one
of our skiers was on the water, we
were chanting, Team Midwest,
Hamilton said.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. The
implosion of former Boston Red
Sox pitcher Curt Schillings video
game company left the state of
Rhode Island with a $100 million
mess and Paul DeBlois with a
clock.
With the wave of a yellow bid-
ders sheet, the tax preparer from
Burrillville offered the winning
price $200 on a company
clock during a sell-off Tuesday of
what is left of 38 Studios, which
was lured to Rhode Island with a
massive state loan guarantee.
The oversized piece was one of
several at the companys former
headquarters counting down, to the
second, the anticipated launch of
the video game Schilling dreamed
would be a hit.
But DeBlois had a different use
in mind: Its going to mark the end
of tax season for me, he said.
The auction, put on by court-
appointed receiver Richard Land,
comes four months after the
companys spectacular collapse
into bankruptcy. Rhode Island,
whose quasi-public Economic
Development Corp. approved a
$75 million loan guarantee in 2010,
is by far 38 Studios biggest credi-
tor. In total, the state is likely on
the hook for some $100 million
related to the deal, once interest in
factored in.
Hundreds of potential bidders
showed up for the auction, which
featured everything from high-end
computers and graphic anima-
tion equipment to model airplanes
Schilling is said to have made and
kept in his fifth-floor office (empty
save for an ergonomic chair, some
cherry furniture and an elliptical,
which was removed from the sale
at the last minute).
There were no immediate esti-
mates on how much the auction of
2,100 lots might raise, but it is not
expected to come anywhere close
to covering the companys debts.
They promised me a statue
downtown if I raised $75 million,
auctioneer Sal Corio joked during
the bidding.
A smaller auction last week at
Big Huge Games, a gaming studio
in Maryland bought by 38 Studios
in 2009, grossed $180,000, accord-
ing to Land. 38 Studios intellectual
property will be sold off in a sepa-
rate auction in a few months.
The company estimated in bank-
ruptcy filings it owes $150.7 million
and has assets of $21.7 million.
Schilling perhaps best known
for pitching through an ankle
injury that famously bloodied his
sock on his teams way to the 2004
World Series grew his startup
quickly and couldnt raise the out-
side money needed to finish the
game. While he has said he him-
self was part of the reason the
company folded, he has accused
Gov. Lincoln Chafee of having an
agenda that hurt 38 Studios.
Chafee, a critic of the original
loan guarantee, has insisted he did
everything he could to help the
company. The EDC board, which
he chairs, is considering possible
litigation connected with the deal,
and state law enforcement authori-
ties are investigating 38 Studios
finances. A federal investigation
did not result in charges.
Bidders crowded the auction
room Tuesday after browsing items
throughout the building. Some
came seeking good deals on com-
puters. One man said he might bid
on a refrigerator for his wife.
Some Schilling figurines
straight out of his office, Corio said
went for $175. A giant battle
hammer replica from the game
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning,
which 38 Studios released earlier
this year, sold for $375.
David Morsilli bought the
first item: one of several swords
used to make sound effects for
the video game. The 44-year-old
from Providence paid $175 and
plans to hang it in his home office,
where hes working on a novel. He
conceded it was a cool piece of
memorabilia but wanted it, he said,
as a reminder to never get in over
your head.
A few former 38 Studios
employees who showed up had
an impromptu mini-reunion.
Danny Laba of Worcester, Mass.,
caught Schillings attention in 2011
by throwing him a baseball with
his resume screen-printed on it
at the New England Institute of
Technology, where Schilling was
delivering the commencement
address. Laba said Schilling texted
him immediately and, within about
a month, he was hired as a system
tester.
Laba described the companys
collapse as heart-breaking but
said he had only good things to say
about his former boss.
He went for a personal dream,
Laba said. Isnt that what everyone
wants to do?
