T
o succeed in the
crippling job
market, you need
experiences on your
rsum that set you apart
from other applicants.
One way to do so is by
taking a foreign language
course. Learning a second
language will make you a
globally aware applicant
and will help open the
door for study abroad
programs.
I highly advise all
students to check out
the 40 different foreign
languages offered at
the University. Having
this wide variety of
languages to choose
from allows students to
learn a language they
are interested in. Taking
a foreign language class
pulls students out of their
American lifestyle and
into a whole new culture.
Taking a foreign
language can open up
travel-filled careers
in any major and also
improves English-
speaking skills, according
to the National Research
Council. It improves
communication and
problem-solving skills
needed in the real world.
By taking a foreign
language course, you also
learn about all the study
abroad options available.
Studying abroad not only
shows future employers
that you can get out
of your comfort zone,
but also gives you an
opportunity to experience
another country and its
culture. The University
offers many study abroad
programs during the
summer, fall and spring
semesters.
If those reasons are still
not enough to convince
you to study a new
language, think about
all the different people
you can meet. Our world
is all about networking,
and the more people you
know, the better off you
are. Being able to travel,
based off your foreign
language skills, gives you
the opportunity to meet
people from countries all
over the world. Learning
about their culture and
traditions will make you
more globally aware.
So before filling your
next semester schedule
with a bunch of general
studies classes, consider
taking a foreign language
course. The Universitys
foreign language
department is recognized
throughout the country
for its excellence, so take
advantage of it while you
can.

Did KU make the right call
replacing Weis?
@KillianKCBrown
@KansanOpinion I mean,
its not like we can get much
worse...
W
hen I hear
of rape, I am
overwhelmed
with emotion: sadness,
anger and compassion. I
find it difficult to direct
those emotions to an
engaging and fruitful
conversation about the
vicious reality of rape
and its consequences. On
one hand, I want to keep
it simple just to react
out of impulse. On the
other hand, I do not want
to water down something
that needs serious
addressing.
I love my mom. Shes
so loving and motherly,
but my favorite quality
is her vulnerability.
Even when I was just a
pre-teen, she was open
about the time her
stepbrother raped her.
She would discuss the
lessons she learned and
how she grew from this
tragedy. Nevertheless, to
this day when she talks
about her stepbrother,
she expresses how
powerful he is.
Power. Our culture
encourages us to have
many thoughts and
feelings about sex, but
most of them wont be
about sex. They will be
about status and power.
One of the biggest
pressures in college is the
desire to improve your
social status and to feel
powerful. As a society,
we are so eager to talk
about sex, but we are
broken and dysfunctional
when it comes to status
and power. Of course the
media is partially to
blame, but this problem
is deeply-rooted in
everyday life, particularly
our speech.
Rape jokes, the words
we use to talk about sex
(I want to BANG her,
Im going to HAVE
her tonight, etc.),
and phrases like man
up are synonymous
for dominance and
aggression. Dominance
and possession are
activities that confer
superior status, and rape
is a manifestation of, and
means for, ensuring that
status.
With these issues so
integrated into our
society, how do we stop
rape then? Is the ethic
of consent sufficient
enough to stop rape?
While I wish it was
enough, rape is still with
us. Although this issue
is way too huge for one
article to solve, modern
scholarship discovered
and the Bible teaches
ways to bring us closer to
a rape-free society.
Peggy Reeves Sanday,
an anthropologist
at the University of
Pennsylvania, studied
90 human societies
and divided them into
rape-prone and rape-
free categories. First, she
discovered in societies
where women have high
status and/or are valuable
members to society,
such as government or
religious leaders, rape
occurrences are very
low. Moreover, Peggy
discovered rape-free
cultures are taught to
respect women.
The Bible declares
that women are to be
mens equals (Galatians
3:28). But it doesnt
stop there: The Bible
commands men to lay
down their lives for
their wives (Ephesians
5:23). Since the Bible
doesnt speak of dating,
marriage is the example.
Additionally, the Bible
gives a command to men
to not take their wives
for granted, and to treat
them with honor and as
their equal; not to assert
dominance over them
(1 Peter 3:7).
If we are holding
women in high esteem
by electing them to
office, following them
as they lead businesses,
respecting them in our
daily lives, and teaching
and holding each other
accountable for this,
actual intimacy wont be
about status and power.
We are a people of all
different faiths, and we
are all in this together.
We are all trying
to figure out whats
right, and how to act
accordingly. But I can tell
you what Jesus teaches:
He commands us to love
one another.
Under campus and state
laws, you must have the
other persons consent to
be intimate with them.
But if were truly trying
to be good to one other,
consent and/or legality
is not enough. If were
really trying to love one
another, maybe its best
to not hook up with that
person who has deep
feelings for you that
you cant reciprocate;
deception is unloving.
If we really love each
other, dont pressure your
friends into having sex
or to cave to gain status
among the bros.
Im not pretending
we will all get the same
answers to intimacy, let
alone answers I believe
God states, but I do
hope that youll keep
your hearts open to the
possibility. Amazing
things will happen
on campus, in our
communities, our nation,
and this world if we
respected and valued
women. If we love each
other truly, there will
be less encounters of
sexual assault occurring.
Women like our mothers,
sisters, daughters and
friends deserve nothing
less. Are you willing to
lay down your lives for
them? Thats what it
means to man up.

QUICK QUESTION
WHATS YOUR FAVORITE KU FOOTBALL MEMORY?
?
?
This Saturday at the football game against Texas, The Kansan caught up with Jake and
Joe Umscheid, two brothers from Wichita who were watching the game together.
Denitely tearing
down the goalposts
against West Virginia
last year.
JOE UMSCHEID
My freshman year
against Northern
Iowa, it came down to
the very last seconds
and they had to get
a touchdown to win
it. They ended up
getting it and it was
the best experience
ever, rst KU game I
ever went to.
JAKE UMSCHEID
It was defnitely one of those
moments where I remember
specifcally just going Oh my
god. Tose lights fashing;
theyre calling out your
numbers. Youre walking out
there, and theyre calling out
the poses, and you see the line
of judges right in front of you.
Ten you see the darkness in
the auditorium. I remember
its almost like a little mini
blackout.
Brian Baroud, a senior
from Northbrook, Ill., was a
freshman when he took the
stage and competed in his frst
bodybuilding show, Muscle
Mayhem, in Kansas City, Mo.
He took home second place in
his teen division and a taste for
the ftness industry.
Baroud said he was always
an athletic child and when the
transition from high school
to college came, he decided
against playing a college sport.
Instead, he got involved with
the mixed martial arts club at
KU. It was there that friends
suggested bodybuilding.
I was approached by a
couple of the older guys, and it
was basically just one of those
things like, you could really
succeed with this, Baroud
said.
2014 alumnus Zach Kuipers
from Wichita was one of the
friends Baroud met through
his involvement with ftness.
Kuipers also competes as a
bodybuilder and powerlifer
and said it is all about having
goals.
Afer Baroud experienced
bodybuilding, he moved
on to powerlifing in April
of his sophomore year. In
powerlifing meets, the
competitors do three lifs:
bench press, squat and deadlif;
they have three attempts. Te
goal is to compile the highest
totals possible.
Although the United States
Powerlifing Association
Prairie Open in Bloomington,
Ill., was brand new to Baroud,
it was not his biggest obstacle.
Four days before the meet
Baroud got the stomach fu.
At that point it could
have been so easy to say
Im just going to not go and
stick around and focus on
my grades or just hang out
on campus, Baroud said.
But really where the self-
evaluation, refection comes in
is you have to remember what
youre doing it for.
Baroud took home second
place for the second time
in his 198-pound weight
division. He also made a
decision to compete in Muscle
Mayhem again, but not as a
bodybuilder.
Tis time around, he chose
to compete in mens physique.
Unlike bodybuilders, mens
physique competitors wear
board shorts versus show
trunks. Te judges look for
a thin waistline and muscle
symmetry, not necessarily
how big competitors are.
Te best of the best always
keep changing things; you

National Cofee Day is a
day to give appreciation to
the drink that helps us wake
up in the morning and keeps
us up at night. In honor of
this beloved cafeine-infused
drink, we have some history,
fun facts and expert advice to
get your java-jolt appreciation
day of to a good start.
15 things you may not know
about coffee from your local
coffee acionados
1. Chai tea was invented by
the British. Because people
from India were all drinking
cofee at the time, they added
a lot of spices and sugar to
make it more appealing to
cofee drinkers. Louis
Wigen-Toccalino, owner of
Decade
2. Te most popular stu-
dent drink is a Rock Chalk
latte. Carlie Hall, junior
from Kansas City, Kan.,
barista at the Union Roasterie
Cofeehouse
3.Te trends change every
year. Past trends include cap-
puccinos and cold press. Te
trend right now is cold press
or slow-brew cofee that is
being put in kegs with nitric
oxide and being served like a
beer. Derek Hogan, owner
of Java Break
4. When you roast a bean
in a dark roast, it heats out
some of the cafeine.
Noah Compo, senior from
Prairie Village, Kan., and
barista at Henrys Cofee
Shop
5. Cofee is good for you,
but it is not necessarily the
cafeine that's good for you
its the cofee bean itself.
It can have carcinogens in it
from being roasted. It is not
necessarily made up to hurt
you, but the cafeine that is in
decaf is enough to stimu-
late your brain. So you do
not need a fully cafeinated
cofee. Nathaniel Dobies,
barista at Starbucks on Mas-
sachusetts Street
6. Wigen-Toccalino said
the Swiss way of making
decafeinated cofee starts
with making a cofee-tea by
putting green cofee in water.
Tey flter that to remove
the cafeine. Ten they take
that decaf brew and they put
fresh green beans in it. Now
all that is lacking is cofee. So
the only thing it pulls out of
the beans at that point is the
cafeine. Tis process leaves
cofee 95 percent decafeinat-
ed, Wigen-Toccalino said.
7. Cold press has more caf-
feine than espresso shots. Te
longer the cofee beans have
contact with water, the more
cafeine it extracts. Kyra
Roesle, junior from Shawnee
and barista and cook at Ai-
mees Cafe and Cofeehouse
8. Te benefts of cofee are
found in decaf as well. Decaf
cofee tends to be a lot better
for you than regular cafein-
ated cofee. But also, decaf
cofee can be decaf chemicals
[instead of being naturally ex-
tracted from cofee beans]. So
that also cannot be good for
you. So it is kind of a hit or
miss with both. Nathaniel
Dobies, barista at Starbucks
on Massachusetts Street
9. Ethiopia is the only
cofee-growing country
that consumes more than it
exports. It is where cofee was
discovered. Ethiopians have
a cofee ceremony, cofee tra-
dition. Louis Wigen-Toc-
calino, owner of Decade
10. Serving super-hot cof-
fee is not good because you
burn it or mask the favor.
Ryan Pope, owner of
Bourgeois Pig
11. You burn more calo-
ries if you exercise with caf-
feine than without. Louis
Wigen-Toccalino, owner of
Decade
12. Te most expensive
cofee in the world costing
$300 per ounce is called kopi
luwak from Sumatra, Indone-
sia, said Tom MacEwan, one
of three Brewhaus owners. It
was discovered by workers
on the cofee plantation who
were not allowed to take the
beans home. To collect the
cofee, they fed it to a cat-like
animal called civet, which
is indigenous to Sumatra.
MacEwan said the workers
extracted the cofee from the
civets excrement. It is the
smoothest cofee anywhere
you can fnd.
13. People cannot taste
over 165 degrees. Addy
Benson, La Prima Tazza
barista
14. Oakland port is where
80 percent of green cofee
comes into the country.
Louis Wigen-Toccalino,
owner of Decade
15. A slow-drip cofee tower
is a current trend in making
iced cofee and is performed
at the Alchemy Cofee. Te
iced cofee is put through a
12-hour slow drip extraction
process that starts with ice
water traveling through
valves at around one drop
per second. Te water travels
through ground cofee and
gets extracted. Te concen-
trated cofee goes through
a few diferent fltering
process, coming out clean
and smooth, said Daniel
Murdock, senior from Kan-
sas City, Kan., and barista at
Alchemy Cofee.

cant stay in your comfort
zone, Baroud said. So I
switched it up, I tried mens
physique, and I was in the
best shape Ive been in since
varsity football. I got down
to 183 pounds, and I was
competing with guys who
were not natural, so to speak.
Although Baroud said he
has never and will never take
performance enhancers or
steroids, it is present in the
bodybuilding scene.
Kuipers competes in
organizations that test their
athletes for steroids and
performance enhancers. He
said he enjoys participating in
these organizations because
of how competitive they are.
Tere are people out there
that do [steroids], Kuipers
said. You dont have to do it.
You can still be successful.
Baroud has competed in
organizations that do not test
their athletes for such drugs.
He said this choice was made
purely out of excitement.
I was just young and
ready to get afer it and
make a statement and show
my passions, he said. Its a
bloodbath of a sport, so to
speak, just like a lot of others.
Its a sport thats got a double-
edged sword of a reputation;
its plagued by steroids and
plagued by guys that go over
the top with it.
Afer competing in mens
physique, Baroud went home
empty handed, but he said it
certainly didnt feel like it.
Tat was a big thing I
realized was keeping it in
perspective and realizing
that this sport isnt going to
go anywhere, Baroud said.
I can do this at any point in
the rest of my life wherever
the time fts and knowing that
frst and foremost Im here
for school. Im here to grow
as a person. So, I knew I had
accomplished something with
myself and while there wasnt
a reward in my hands, that
was not relevant to me at the
time.
As a student, competing
was challenging for Baroud.
He said the demands of a
strict diet combined with
schoolwork were always
taxing.
Te dieting was no easy
task, just like any college
student could admit. Its hard
to not cheat that means
cheat meals, Baroud said.
Everyones had that thought
go through their mind at one
point or another; its stressful.
I had to deal with bearing
through that and getting
ready for these shows while I
was taking on fnals.
When Kuipers competed
during college, he held a
full-time job and said it was
difcult to juggle work, school
and competing.
Its difcult but its not
impossible, Kuipers said.
Defnitely other things
sufer a little bit depending
on how motivated you are
or how dedicated you are.
Whatever you care about the
most is going to get the most
attention, Kuipers said. You
just have to plan ahead and
time management is key.
Even though these sports
challenge Baroud, he said it
is the attention to details that
require so much time, like
tanning, lifing and dieting.
But he said that is what he
loves about competing in
both bodybuilding and mens
physique.
I totally buckled down
on that, and I just loved
it from day one, he said.
Tats when I knew I found
something special in myself
and literally at that moment
watched myself grow. Its a
cool feeling.
Baroud said he digs deep
and uses painful memories
from his past to fuel his drive
and get through adversity
he faces when preparing for
competitions.
I lost one of my best friends
the summer going into my
senior year of high school,
he said. He was on the
football team, and Id known
him for years. It was a very
painful period of my life so
I remember back to things
about that.
In his junior year of college
at Kansas, Baroud competed
in his last powerlifing
competition to date. He took
home frst place. He has not
competed in a bodybuilding
show since Muscle Mayhem.
Baroud said he has been
focusing on his future and
spent this past summer
interning in Chicago. He
said he has always envisioned
himself as a successful
business worker someday and
that these sports are strictly
passionate hobbies.
I never tried to set out to
make money out of this or
to take it to the top, because
ultimately what that leads to
doing is, in my eyes, turning
to going unnatural and
making it be a year-round
thing or something that
literally consumes you. I dont
want that, Baroud said.
Even though competing
is not one of Barouds top
priorities at the moment,
its still in the back of his
mind. He said he knows
of a powerlifing meet in
December in Topeka and
possibly a bodybuilding show
in his home state.
Do I want to probably do it
the remainder of my life here
and there as I please? Baroud
said. Absolutely.

Clooney, wife make
newlywed appearance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VENICE, Italy Wedding
bands glinted under the Ve-
netian sun on the hands of
George Clooney and his new
bride, Amal Alamuddin, as
the heartthrob actor and the
human rights lawyer emerged
Sunday from the luxury hotel
where they were married a
day earlier.
Te groom, in a smart light
gray suit, sported a simple
ring on his lef hand. His wife,
in a founcy white short dress
with pastel-colored appliques
resembling fower blossoms,
wore a thin band studded
with what appeared to be
roundish diamonds. Te
newlyweds shaded their eyes
from the afernoon sunlight
with dark glasses.
Tey hopped into a waiting
water taxi and, with Clooney
putting his arm around her
frequently, made their way
down the Grand Canal to an-
other waterside hotel where
many of their guests were
staying. Gondoliers steered
out of their way.
Tourists and Venetians
cheered when Clooney waved
and Alamuddin smiled
broadly.
Te 53-year-old actor, who
had vowed he'd never wed
again, and the 36-year-old
London-based lawyer, were
married with Hollywood
stars and family among
guests.
Celebrity-watching will last
at least another day in Venice.
City ofcials have announced
the closure on Monday of a
stretch of pedestrian walk-
way along the Grand Canal
near the 16th-century Caval-
li Palace, so the couple can
have a civil marriage ceremo-
ny there. Te palace is right
across from the Aman hotel
where the couple wed on Sat-
urday evening.
Te marriage is the frst for
the bride and the second for
Clooney, who had been one
of the world's most sought-af-
ter bachelors since 1993, fol-
lowing a four-year marriage
to actress Talia Balsam.
Te bride lef her native
Lebanon during its civil war
and was raised in the United
Kingdom. Te Oxford-Uni-
versity-educated Alamuddin
met Clooney, who is involved
in many political causes,
through her work.

I
n late November of 2011, Uni-
versity of Kansas athletic director
Sheahon Zenger promised to fnd
the right football coach. Tis came
afer the spectacularly disastrous
Turner Gill era, in which Kansas
went 5-19 in 24 games. On Dec. 9,
2011, Zenger hired Charlie Weis. On
Sept. 28, 2014, the Weis era came to
an abrupt end.
Tere was much fanfare when Weis
was hired as Kansas coach. Afer all,
he is the proud owner of four Super
Bowl rings and coached Notre Dame
to the 2007 Sugar Bowl. He brought a
no-nonsense attitude to the program
and demanded accountability from
all his players. He brought in former
fve-star quarterbacks Dayne Crist
and Jake Heaps, who were both
expected to bring Kansas football
back to the promised land of 2007s
12-1 season, which culminated in an
Orange Bowl victory against Virginia
Tech.
Unfortunately, Weis tenure failed
to work out. He won as many Big 12
games in almost three years as Mis-
souri won NCAA Tournament games
in four years one. His signature win
was a 31-19 victory against a strug-
gling West Virginia team in 2013.
He leaves behind a legacy of wasted
potential. Weis brought in fantastic
talent that made Kansas somewhat
relevant on the recruiting trails, but
poor coaching held back that talent.
All is not lost, however. Tis Kansas
team is still stacked with talent.
Despite what he has shown this year,
sophomore quarterback Montell
Cozart still has the potential to be a
solid football player. He
could even turn into a star
with the right coaching.
Just three games into his
freshman season, fresh-
man running back Corey
Avery has already shown
his massive potential as
a dynamic game chang-
er. Junior running back
DeAndre Mann has
shown he can be a reliable
player. Despite some bad stereotypes,
there is plenty of talent in this pro-
gram for a new coach to work with.
Now the job hunt begins. Coaching
football at Kansas is not the intrigu-
ing job it was afer Mark Mangino
was fred in 2009. Kevin Sumlin is en-
joying massive success at Texas A&M.
Jim Harbaugh, who showed extreme
interest in the Kansas job before
going to Stanford, has made the
San Francisco 49ers into a perennial
Super Bowl contender. Gus Malzahn,
who the Jayhawks could have hired
afer Gill was
fred, recently
coached Auburn
to the BCS National
Championship.
Kansas could even
hire defensive coordi-
nator Clint Bowen, who
is serving as the interim
head coach for the rest
of the season. Bowen has
a lot of ties to the Lawrence
area and has shown he truly cares
about the program. Te right coach
is out there, but Zenger may have to
work a little harder to fnd him.
Weis tenure at Kansas will be
remembered as one of underachieve-
ment and disappointment. In fairness,
Weis had a lot of work to do in re-
pairing the state of the program afer
Gill was fred. Unfortunately for him,
Kansas is in a win-now position. Weis
just wasnt getting it done.

Te No. 23 Kansas volleyball
team (12-3, 0-1) fell in fve
sets to Oklahoma (10-4, 1-0)
at McCasland Field House in
Norman, Okla., on Saturday,
25-19, 25-20, 19-25, 23-25 and
9-15.
Tough Kansas took the
frst two sets in a convincing
fashion, the Jayhawks fell apart
down the stretch, allowing the
Sooners a .314 kill percentage.
Oklahoma junior middle
blocker Kierra Holst had a
career-high 23 kills in her frst
Big 12 game of the season.
Kansas was dominant early,
behind strong performances
from freshman outside hitter
Madison Rigdon and senior
outside hitter Chelsea Albers.
Rigdon contributed two aces
in the opening set, helping the
Jayhawks jump out to an early
5-0 advantage. Te Jayhawks
had fve aces for the match but
went on to commit a season-
high 19 service errors.
Albers was a consistent
presence for Kansas all night,
fnishing with a career-high 24
kills, nine digs and a season-
high fve blocks. She carried
the Jayhawks to a win in set
two, racking up fve kills and
two blocks in the last 10 points
to secure the set.
Unfortunately, that was as
good as it got for Kansas,
as it dropped the fnal three
sets on its way to a loss in its
frst conference game of the
season. In addition to Holsts
23 kills, junior setter Julia
Doyle (55 assists, 10 digs)
and sophomore outside hitter
Madison Ward (18 kills, 15
digs) both notched double-
doubles for the Sooners.
Oklahoma caught fre in the
third set, winning comfortably
to avoid a sweep on its home
court. It followed that up by
an equally strong performance
in set four, using a 6-0 rally
midway through the set on its
way to a 25-23 win. Holst came
up with her eighth kill of the
set to force the Jayhawks into
a ffh set.
When you give a team a
little bit of confdence and
momentum afer having them
down, thats exactly what
happens, coach Ray Bechard
said. Its a difcult lesson to
learn, obviously, but weve got
no other option but to think of
How can we come up with a
better response?
In set fve, with the score
knotted at 3-3, Oklahoma
scored four-consecutive points
to increase its lead to 7-3. It
never looked back, as Holst
again came up with the fnal
kill to take the set and the
match for the Sooners.
Its tough to come back
with a team like that and win
in fve, said Oklahoma coach
Santiago Restrepo. Our
resilience and confdence that
we exuded out there in front
of a big, great crowd was really
incredible to see.
Kansas will look to get
back on track when it takes
on Kansas State at Horejsi
Family Athletics Center on
Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m.

I usually do not favor changing
coaches at midseason, but we have
not made on-the-eld progress.
Sheahon Zenger.
Kansas had a 1-18 record in Big
12 play under Weis tenure.
espn.com
Q: What was Kansas overall record
under Weis?
A: 6-22, which translates to a 27
percent winning percentage over a
three-year period. This is the worst
win percentage over that period in
any of the Power Five conferences.
