n Tuesday, we learned
that an opinion column
published on Nov. 4 written
by staf opinion columnist
Bryenn Bierwirth contained
information that was
repurposed from a Feb. 1,
2012, column published in Te
Guardian. Bierwirth is also
an account executive on the
Kansans advertising staf.
Te Kansan column was
recently mentioned in a USA
Today College story.
Afer reading the USA Today
story, a concerned journalism
graduate brought the
similarities in the two columns
to my attention. I immediately
began investigating the
reporting methods used in this
and other columns written by
Bierwirth to determine the
extent of the problem.
Te repurposed content
came from the article Top
Five Regrets of the Dying,
which Te Guardian published
on Feb. 1, 2012. Te content
was not copied verbatim,
but rather was borrowed and
paraphrased, in a manner
that online searches could not
discover during our editing
process.
Te methods used in writing
this column do not meet
the reporting standards that
we teach and expect at the
Kansan. Te Kansan accepts
only fact-based reporting, the
pursuit of truth in accurate
storytelling and a constant
standard of integrity in both
news and editorial content.
Journalism that does not
abide by these standards is
unacceptable. Te Kansan
provides a beginning for
journalists of all callings and
with that comes the power
and responsibility to provide a
sound, fundamental start in a
hands-on environment.
Tis situation does not
meet our standards and
looking forward, we will be
reevaluating the process that
allowed this to publish and
taking a much deeper look at
editorial content.
To clarify, the Kansan is
editorially independent from
the William Allen White
School of Journalism and Mass
Communications. We beneft
from the mentorship and
guidance of the journalism
faculty, but the decision-
making process in this case
was handled entirely by me as
the editor of the newspaper.
Te paper is and will continue
to be operated independently
of the school of journalism.
While this is an
embarrassing situation, the
best way to resolve this issue
is to disclose it with you,
our readers. Te Kansan
has been publishing since
1904, and we embrace the
tradition of independent news
organizations of correcting
our own mistakes. We are
holding ourselves to the same
standard that we hold others
in reporting the news.
Afer discussing the
situation, Bierwirth submitted
his resignation from his
advertising and news staf
positions with the Kansan.
I would like to take this
opportunity to personally
apologize to our readers.
Looking forward, the Kansan
will continue to work to
ensure accuracy, the pursuit of
truth and the integrity of our
content for our audience.
Student Senate met last night to
discuss and vote on two more elec-
tion reform bills, but before getting
down to business, Senate welcomed
a guest speaker from the Ofce of
Multicultural Afairs.
REFLECTION
Cody Charles, the associate direc-
tor of OMA, focused his speech on
conversations, specifcally difcult
conversations he has had with stu-
dents.
I give my time for dynamic con-
versations, Charles said.
Afer sharing several stories, he
asked senators: Are you having
those dynamic moments, those dy-
namic conversations? Do you know
the people you are representing?
MEETING WITH OTHER
BIG 12 SENATES
Moving from a point of refection,
ofcers gave their biweekly reports
to the senate.
Executive staf visited Texas
Christian University last weekend
to meet with other executive stafs
from all the Big 12 schools.
Marcus Tetwiler, student body
president, said he was proud to see
that KU Student Senate matches up
with the best of the best in the Big
12.
ELECTION REFORM:
COALITIONS AND CAUCUS
Tis bill establishes a caucus sys-
tem for coalitions to choose their
presidential and vice presidential
candidates, senators and how they
want to be listed on the ballot.
Te bill, which can be viewed on-
line at Kansan.com, passed with
one amendment.
ELECTION REFORM:
GENERAL REGULATIONS
Tyler Childress, one of the au-
thors of the bill and senate chief
of staf, said the bills purpose is to
outline the powers of the elections
commission to ensure coalitions
follow election rules.
We want to make sure its very
clear that the elections commission
is in charge of this code and they
can hold candidates and coalitions
accountable, Childress said.
Te bill passed and can be viewed,
in full, online.
Full senate will review the fnal in-
stallment of election reform at the
next meeting. Tat bill will focus on
freshman elections, which follow a
diferent format and process than
general elections.

While companies can target their
advertisements toward a younger
audience by utilizing online tech-
nology such as social media, a re-
cent study says that these online ads
may lead to an increased culture of
intoxication among young people.
Te study, which analyzed how
18- to 25-year-olds reacted to
online alcohol advertising, was
co-authored by Christine Grifn,
a professor of social psychology at
the University of Bath. She believes
its necessary to confront the types
of messages promoted by alcohol
advertising targeted towards young
people.
She says that because these ads
make drinking about fun, plea-
sure and socializing, young people
might be encouraged to drink at
an extreme or dangerously intoxi-
cated level. To combat these unsafe
drinking behaviors, she suggests
the development of more regula-
tions for online alcohol marketing
aimed at this age group.
Michael Azbel, a freshman from
Overland Park, agrees that there
is a prevalent belief among college
students that alcohol is included in
the college culture, but said that
he doesnt necessarily see online al-
cohol advertising as having a large
efect on this belief.
He said other than a few ads on
Facebook and YouTube, he per-
sonally hasnt come across many
alcohol advertisements while using
social media sites.
Rather, he said hes observed that
young people tend to be more af-
fected by what their peers are do-
ing than by advertisements.
Our friends afect how we
think, even by just planting a little
idea, Azbel said. Social media
can be an advertisement in itself
for drinking. It doesnt even have
to be a company or specifc prod-
uct; it can just be drinking itself.
Noelle Nelson, an assistant pro-
fessor of marketing in the KU
School of Business, said that ad-
vertisements from companies and
the infuence of peers can some-
times become indistinguishable.
Its very possible that young peo-
ple do not distinguish social media
content from advertisements, Nel-
son said. If young people dont see
a diference between alcohol ads
and social media content, they may
misconstrue the content as being
endorsed by their peer group.
Both of these factors may have an
infuence on students ideas about
alcohol and drinking, said Vanessa
Newton.
I think its kind of a chicken and
egg thing; Im not sure if advertis-

WANT NEWS UPDATES ALL
DAY LONG?
When the cold creeps in with the
changing seasons, students turn on
their furnaces without any hesita-
tion. But the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment wants
Kansans to be aware of the invisi-
ble danger that comes with heating
homes: carbon monoxide.
According to a news release from
the KDHE and Safe Kids Kansas,
the use of fuel burning appliances
in the home leads to dangerously
high levels of carbon monoxide.
Te CDC describes carbon mon-
oxide as a colorless, odorless gas
that can cause sudden illness or
death. It is a major concern during
the winter months because the use
of fuel-burning ovens, furnaces,
space heaters, generators and fre-
places that can emit the gas un-
beknownst to the user. Prolonged
exposure can cause a person to
become ill and possibly lose con-
sciousness, which can eventually
lead to death from the gas.
Students should be aware of the
symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning and should call 911 im-
mediately if they think there may
be a carbon monoxide leak in their
home.
Angela German, program direc-
tor of the Primary Care Ofce of
the KDHE, said that its important
for students to know which appli-
ances can emit carbon monoxide
and take appropriate measures to
stop the leaks.
Te main thing is ventilation,
German said. You need to make
sure all your fuel-burning appli-
ances are properly ventilated.
Tis is especially important for
students living in older homes, as
these homes are more likely to have
fuel-burning appliances. German
says that students worried about
their appliances should contact
their landlords to make sure every-
thing is up to code.
At the very least students should
install a CO [carbon monoxide]
detector, German said.
Carbon monoxide detectors are
available at local hardware stores
and stores like Walmart and Target
for roughly $20.

HOW TO PREVENT CO POISONING
Prevent CO buildup in
the rst place - make
sure heating appliances
are in good working
order and use only in
well-ventilated areas.
Dont run a car engine
in the garage, even with
the garage door open.
If you need to warm up
your vehicle, move it
outside rst.
Install a CO alarm
outside every sleeping
area, on every level of
your home and at least
15 feet away from every
fuel-burning appliance.
When you check your
smoke alarm batteries
each month, check the
batteries on your CO
alarms at the same
time and replace the
batteries twice a year.
Never use an oven to
heat your home.
Portable generators
must be used outside
for proper ventilation.
They cannot be used
indoors or inside of a
garage.
Have all gas, oil or coal
burning appliances in-
spected by a technician
every year to ensure
theyre working correctly
and are properly venti-
lated.
For the second semester in a row,
the University will not be ofering
an astronomy lab to fulfll students
general education lab requirement.
Students looking for an alternative
to the biology or chemistry lab will
once again have to look elsewhere
to satisfy their degree stipulations.
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, pro-
fessor of physics and astronomy,
explained that there were many
factors that weighed into the deci-
sion to not ofer the lab again.
We havent had a facility of our
own or schedule that we can con-
trol for the last 12 years, said An-
thony-Twarog. Weve been using
the top level of Memorial Stadium
when were able to.
Since weather conditions can
heavily afect astronomers views
on celestial objects, having a prop-
er location and scheduled time slot
to view can be crucial.
Its hard enough to predict at 3
p.m. or 4 p.m. if you will be able to
go outside to use the telescopes,
said Anthony-Twarog. Athletics
were very nice to let us use their
space, but those facilities just arent
meant for us.
Te lab last had access to proper
facilities in 2001, when it was held
in Lindley Hall.
Te dissipation of the lab afects
students looking for a non-tradi-
tional lab to fulfll their general ed-
ucation requirements.
I have a handful of friends that
really struggled with or even had
to retake the biology lab, said Ka-
tie Zyskowski, a sophomore from
Minneapolis. I think they should
keep as many options for alterna-
tive labs as possible.
Anthony-Twarog said if the
lab were to return in the future,
it wouldnt happen without any
changes.
We wouldnt restart it in the way
that it was previously ofered, she
said. Its become increasingly dif-
fcult to have a nighttime telescope
class on campus, and theres no
short-term plans for a telescope
facility that can actually be con-
trolled.
Students who are looking to gain
hands-on experience with tele-
scopes can still do so by attend-
ing the Astronomy Associates of
Lawrences telescope open house,
which takes place at Prairie Park
once each month. For more infor-
mation on specifc times and dates,
checkout the AAL website.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2013 PAGE 4A
T
oday we take a brief
hiatus from literature and
focus on another topic Im
passionate about: KU basketball
games. Allen Fieldhouse is the
greatest sports venue without a
doubt; what sets it apart is the
combination of tradition and
passion from students and alumni
who together create an electric en-
vironment. Tis season has been
more hyped than any other Ive
experienced in my time here since
Fall 2010, judging by the incred-
ible turnout at lotteries and the
Late Night crowd control snafu.
So far this season everything has
been great, but I think we can do
better. Tere have been a number
of things going on in the student
section that I believe should be
eliminated or improved upon.
Please consider the following:
DONT WHOO DURING
THE ROCK CHALK CHANT
Weve made some signifcant
progress in the last year or two to
eliminate the whoo. It sounds
tacky and takes away from the
ominous, haunting mood of
the original, the sounding of a
death knell for the other team.
While Im on the topic, start the
chant at around 2:00 if we have a
signifcant lead. We waited until
sub-1:00 at the Iona game when
we were up by 20 or so.
DONT YELL HOME OF THE CHIEFS
I love the Chiefs as much as the
next guy (9-1 baby!), but they
dont belong in our countrys
national anthem. Tis is only
marginally acceptable to do when
youre in Arrowhead. Lets be
classy and sing it the way Francis
Scott Key wrote it instead of
yelling like Neanderthals. Ill also
remind you that Bill Self said he
hates this practice; what more
convincing do you need?
DO FREE THROW
DISTRACTIONS CORRECTLY
Aside from the pinwheel fsts
one, the goal of the other two is to
build up anticipation to a sudden
movement right before the player
shoots. According to Nature.com,
science supports the hypothesis
that uniform background motion
can infuence the hand motion of
an observer. Random motion
can be fltered out, while sudden
uniform motion has an efect.
Te take-away: dont wave your
arms around, instead hold one
direction and snap to the other
right before the shot; and dont
jump up randomly, instead jump
up right before the shot. Tis is
how I learned the distractions and
how they should be done.
STAND UP!
If youre in the student section,
the only time you should sit down
afer the game starts is at half
time. No exceptions. Its tradition.
Nothing says feeble and disin-
terested like a bunch of people
sitting down as soon as a timeout
is called. Show the players you
care about the efort theyre put-
ting forth by putting forth some
minimal efort on your own part.
WATCH THE GAME
(5a) A KU basketball game is a
perfect place to live in the mo-
ment. I get it, everyone and their
mom has a hungry Instagram
account, but hold of on it until
play stops. You could be missing
the dunk of the year while you
send of a text. (5b) Dont leave
the game early. Tis comment
is more pertinent to GAers, but
it needs to be said nonetheless.
(5c) Dont hold up your poster
while the clock is running; youre
obstructing the views of others. I
love a cleverly crafed poster, but
save them for timeouts and other
clock stoppagesthats when the
cameras might fnd you anyway.
LEARN THE CLAP
AND THE ALMA MATER
Regarding the clap: I was a
freshman once too; I understand
that the rhythm is difcult. We all
mess it up sometimes. But please,
please, PLEASE make an efort
to listen to the band and DONT
speed up the tempo! Tats why
we get of and it sounds like a
mess. Pedant alertthe word
towards is not in the alma
mater. Its toward. Same with
onward. Fun fact: the -s versions
are British English. You wouldnt
write colour would you? Teres
an awesome page (http://www.
ku.edu/about/traditions/songs/)
that has the alma mater and clap
and examples. So give it a listen if
youre shaky on it!
I have listed these issues roughly
according to their relative im-
portance. If none of these things
happen, Allen Fieldhouse will be
pretty awesome, but I think mak-
ing these changes would propel
the quality of our support for the
team to unprecedented levels.
Rock Chalk!

Airing of grievances: the Allen Fieldhouse edition
Hands-on learning takes priority over irrelevant classes
BASKETBALL
EDUCATION
S
chool has, and always will
be, a huge part of everyones
lives. We spend half of our
days at school, and when were not
at school, were either thinking
about school, preparing for school
or trying to fnd the quickest,
easiest way to be done with it. Ill
be the frst to admit that school is
not easy, especially for a college
student. However, none of those
are what makes me lose my moti-
vation to go.
To me, it seems as though over
half of what we learn has nothing
to do with our majors or future
plans. For instance, why did I
have to take multiple math classes
as a speech pathology major?
I guarantee you if I went and
shadowed a speech pathologist
tomorrow, he or she wouldnt be
calculating how to fnd x as a
part of their daily routine. I think
students would learn more in a
single day shadowing a profes-
sional in their feld than they
would in certain college courses,
which are irrelevant to what they
really need to know.
Even classes that are specifcally
dedicated to my major seem to be
the exact opposite. Im currently
in a required physics of speech
class, for instance. First of all,
is that even a thing? Secondly, I
dont care about the frequency of
a wavelength. Lets be honest, no
one does. We spend all our time
miserably studying at the library,
drowning ourselves in cofee
and pointless knowledge with no
real-world application.
It even makes me wonder what
the reasoning behind all of this
is. I certainly think money has
something to do with it. College
is a business. Every time I turn
around, more money is being
sucked from my wallet and my
parents wallet. One day its a
parking ticket, the next its a
required book that I needed for
class, and dont forget those lovely
sorority fnes for your bow being
crooked during recruitment.
A college degree isnt even a
guarantee of success. I know
people who didnt go to college,
and theyre some of the most
successful people I know and my
biggest role models. I think the
world should revolve around hard
work and dedication, not who can
fgure out those tricky true/false
questions about the anatomy of
a bug.
Employers want more than good
gradesthey want experience and
well roundedness. How are we
supposed to fulfll these expec-
tations when were constantly
overwhelmed with schoolwork,
leaving no time for anything else?
In the past, Ive done some
shadowing, and not only did I
gain knowledge of a professional
feld, but I also received a lot of
advice and was put into many real
life situations that one would face
as a speech pathologist. Hands-
on learning helps one fgure out
if they even want to put all their
energy into a certain major. If you
dont like what you observe, then
you shouldnt continue with the
schooling for it, but how are you
supposed to fgure that out in the
classroom? For instance, with pa-
thologists, there is a big diference
when working with children and
working with the elderly. When
I shadowed at a nursing home, it
helped me realize that I wanted
to work with kids for the rest of
my life. In my opinion, hands-
on learning is whats putting me
ahead of the people spending
their days in Anschutz with their
nose buried in a history book.
Teres really nothing we can
do as students, because thats
just the way the system works. I
guess it felt good to get this of my
chest, but all I can do is continue
trudging my rear end down to the
library and hoping that some-
where along the way Ill fgure out
how to be a speech pathologist.
Wish me luck.

section at basketball
games?

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Kansas fans cheer on the mens basketball team during the Iona game on Tuesday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks defeated
the Gaels 86-66.
It has been seven years since the
release of the Playstation 3 and
eight years since the release of the
Xbox 360. Now it is fnally time
for the release of the next-gener-
ation gaming consoles, the Play-
station 4 and the Xbox One. With
the PS4 released on Nov. 15, and
the Xbox One to be released on
Friday, it is time to decide what
system provides the better, and
more suitable features to a gamers
individual liking.
PLAYSTATION 4
Lawrence retailers started car-
rying the PS4 last week and there
are a handful of students who
already have their hands on the
future of video games. As Sonys
follow-up to the Playstation 3, the
system now provides gamers with
a 8-core x86-64 AMD Jaguar CPU
processor for better graphics and
gameplay than its predecessor, as
well as a sufcient list of 16 games
that were available at its launch.
One University student stood in
line at the GameStop on 33rd and
Iowa Street, and discussed why he
chose to get the PS4 over the Xbox
One, claiming that both systems
will be satisfactory for any gam-
er, no matter what system they
choose to get.
Teyre both great systems, and
the Playstation 4 was easier to get
and not have to worry about the
stress of trying to fnd an Xbox
over the holidays when everyone
is fghting to get one, said Mitch-
ell Mollica, a sophomore from
Colorado Springs, Colo. And the
chance came up to get a PS4 so I
hopped on it.
With next-generation consoles,
the biggest diference between
these consoles and the previous
generation is the graphics. Molli-
ca believes that the PS4 will have
better graphics because it is ru-
mored that the Xbox One will be
more entertainment-oriented and
focus on features other than gam-
ing, whereas the PS4 is regarded
more as a console for just gaming.
XBOX ONE
But what about Microsofs
contribution to next-generation
gaming? Running for a price of
$100 more, the Xbox One comes
equipped with its own camera
known as Kinect alongside voice
commands to navigate quickly
through apps, launch games, even
Skype with a friend from his or
her living room. Equipped with
an 8-core AMD custom Microsof
CPU the Xbox One will deliver
graphics that are around the same
caliber as the PS4.
One University student is ex-
pecting an Xbox One on its release
date, and said that he is pleased
with his choice in purchasing the
Xbox One over the PS4.
Im getting the Xbox One be-
cause Ive enjoyed the Xbox 360
and because Xbox has always
been better than Playstation, said
Michael Esry, a senior from Lees
Summit, Mo. Teir online net-
work is more reliable, and they
have a more widespread option of
game types like Halo, which is a
top frst-person shooterBattle-
feld has always been good on it.
Tey run a lot more sports games,
just as far as soccer, racing and
basketball go.
Xbox One has an array of 23
games that are available for play-
ing at launch. While some gamers
may choose to go with the system
that has more game titles available
at the start, looking ahead towards
future game releases is also some-
thing to consider.
Another University student says
that he has slowly paid for the
prices of both the Xbox One and
the PS4, but is still a little appre-
hensive towards some of the de-
cisions that Microsof has made
with their Xbox One.
I am an Xbox guy, I always have
been, said Adam Phillips, a soph-
omore from Lawrence. But I have
to admit that Sony has the better
system this time around. Tey
just had longer to prepare. Xbox
is still working out the kinks, and
Im still a little apprehensive about
what this frst wave of Xbox Ones
is going to be like.

At the end of September, a small
Italian restaurant Basil Leaf Cafe
outgrew their location inside of a
gas station on 6th Street and moved
to 616 W. 9th St.
Chef and owner Brad Walt Wal-
ters said that he had been looking
to relocate for two years.
Afer a year and a half at the gas
station we just knew we needed
something bigger, Walters said.
We knew that we could handle
the business and we could handle
it on the fnancial end, so I started
researching spaces.
A full renovation of the new space
began in late May with the help of
family and friends. Te restaurant
was flled with repurposed barn
wood from Walters fathers central
Kansas barn, giving Basil Leaf Cafe
a rustic look.
Te biggest thing was just go-
ing back to dealing with front of
househiring front of house, get-
ting front house manager, liquor
license, bar, and hiring a wait staf,
Walters says. We essentially tri-
pled our employees. We went from
fve employees to 15 to 20 at this
point.
In addition to moving, Walters
also changed the menu. He added
six entres, seven to eight appetiz-
ers, and four to fve salads to the
menu.
Walters says he plans to continue
modifying the menu and wants to
introduce seasonal menus. Tis
upcoming spring and summer,
Walters will work with local farm-
ers, including Walters own family
farm, to buy produce for the restau-
rant.
Business for Basil Leaf Cafe has
quadrupled since the relocation,
but the changes wont stop.
We are kind of trying to tran-
sition from the gas station crowd
and what we were doing there and
slowly easing into what I want to
do with our food in the end which
is upscale comfort food, Walters
says.
Walters says he could use even
more room, but is ultimately happy
about the increase in business.
I could use another 700 to 800
square foot onto this location, says
Walters. Were to the point now
where its same deal: we need more
seats, we need more kitchen space,
we need more cooler. I mean were
comfortable, but the amount of
business we are pushing out of
this small space is a struggle. Its a
struggle to keep up with the busi-
ness, which I cant complain about
in any way whatsoever.

Musical time travel is Kaitlin
Fahys specialty. Tis Saturday,
her clarinet recital will take the
audience from pieces heard in
early 20th century France to
works written by contemporary
composers. Fahy uses these piec-
es to demonstrate how music is
still relatable even through the
passing of time. Te stories told
in each composition refect Fahys
creative passion for performance.
Fahy, a second-year clarinet
graduate student, will perform
four difcult clarinet pieces. Te
pieces are from a variety of time
periods. One, named Rrowzer!,
was written by Fahys professor at
Southern Illinois University Car-
bondale, Eric Mandat.
Te image behind the piece is
that of a grouchy dog snarling at
people passing by, Fahy said.
Fahys professor, Dr. Stephanie
Zelnick, said she is confdent in
Fahys abilities and that words
could not express how much of
a hard worker she believed Fahy
to be.
Shes extremely smart and su-
per talented, Zelnick said. Shes
a very engaging young woman
who can really express these mas-
terpieces of the past. Its super im-
pressive. I feel fortunate to be able
to be with her on this journey.
Fahy said her favorite part about
studying and playing the clarinet
is the creative process as well as
the performance itself.
I really love performing, and
even though it scares me, it gives
me that edge, Fahy said. Tats
what I like about music so much.
Its diferent every time you do it,
and you get to really make some-
thing every day. Tats what I
think is so great. I want to be real-
ly creative, and its a creative pro-
cess every time you make music.
Zelnick was impressed by Fahys
song selection and the research
she conducted to make each piece
sound as the composer intended
during the time period.
Each of these composers was
really popular in their time,
Zelnick said. Tese pieces are
very invocative and imaginative
and what it meant to be expres-
sive during that time. Its really
exciting to see her express all of
these diferent time periods and
genres.
In addition to learning the piec-
es, Fahy researched the composer
as well as the time period in which
the works were written.
Afer graduation, Fahy plans to
pursue a doctorate.
By the time I leave here, I want
to feel like a very grounded mu-
sician, Fahy said. I want to feel
like I can walk into any perfor-
mance situation, and have that
good sound no matter what.
Fahys performance is just one in
the KU School of Music Student
Recital Series, and tickets are free.
Te performance will be held in
Swarthout Recital Hall this Satur-
day at 7:30 p.m.

ing led to peers thinking that this is
how college should be, or if it start-
ed from their peers and the adver-
tisements reinforced those ideas,
Newton said. I dont know if one
is more at fault than the other.
Newton, program coordinator
at the University Career Center,
worked to educate college stu-
dents about safe drinking habits
while she was a graduate student
at Eastern Kentucky University by
teaching an Alcohol 101 course
through the Student Wellness
Group.
She said that although it can
be difcult to try to contain all
the alcohol advertisements that
young people are exposed to, or
try to eradicate the stereotype that
college is a time for letting loose
and partying, educating college
students about alcohol can be a
good way to promote safe drinking
habits.
Newton said that being able to
scrutinize any advertisement can
lead to a more realistic perspective
from students.
Ten they can look at the adver-
tisements and say, Oh, thats what
theyre trying to do; theyre trying
to get me to buy this, Newton
said. By showing these big par-
ties where everyone is having fun,
theyre promoting excessive drink-
ing. Teyre not taking into consid-
eration the damaging efects of the
over-consumption of alcohol.

GRAPHIC ART BY COLE ANNEBERG
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Starbucks partnered with Twit-
ter to allow users to send a $5 gif
card via tweet redeemable in Star-
bucks stores. When the recipient
receives the eGif, it will load onto
their Starbucks account that they
can use to make a purchase. It can
be used as a simple way to thank
someone, celebrate with them, or
brighten up their day.
HOW TO TWEET A COFFEE
1. Create a Starbucks account on-
line or their free app available for
iPhone and Android.
2. Link a payment method such
as a debit or credit card as well as
Paypal through the Starbucks ac-
count.
3. Include @tweetacofee to @
theirtwitterhandle, along with a
personal message.
4. Afer sending the tweet, Twitter
will send a notifcation to link the
Twitter and Starbucks accounts.
5. Once the accounts have been
linked, confrm the payment
method and send the eGif.

Now more than ever, people basically live on social

media. I think it is a smart move for Starbucks to try
to reach out to customers where they know they can
nd them, Twitter. As a college students, I could see
myself using this as a cheap but effective way to
give friends a gift on their birthday or occasions like
that. Five dollars plus the easy accessibility of Twitter
seems very attractive to me, especially since a good
majority of my friends are caffeine addicted college
students like myself.

I think that it is a unique way to promote random acts

of kindness and small surprises that can make some-
bodys day. Its a genius way to incorporate social media
into their marketing scheme. Its perfect for people you
arent super close to and dont want to spend a lot on
but still want to do something special for.

LOCAL
Homeless population at
risk during winter months
With recent federal cuts, home-
lessness is becoming an increasing
issue within the Lawrence com-
munity. As winter approaches the
danger of the elements could be a
great health risk and shelters are
likely to exceed capacity.
Funding for Section 8 housing,
a part of the federal Housing Act
of 1937 that provides a rental as-
sistance program for low-income
families and families in crisis,
has been cut by 50 percent in the
past two years, placing additional
stress on the availability of hous-
ing for citizens in poverty.
A forum sponsored by the Coa-
lition for Homeless Concerns was
held at Trinity Lutheran Church
on Nov. 9 to discuss the drying of
federal funds. Te Coalition is a
group that has been working with
the Lawrence Community Shelter
for over a decade to provide shel-
ter for the homeless in Lawrence.
One of the primary speakers at
the forum was Loring Hender-
son, the director of the Lawrence
Community Shelter.
While the shelter has recently
moved to a more spacious loca-
tion, they are already at capacity
with the harshest winter weather
yet to come. Henderson is asking
the city to increase the capacity
for the winter so more homeless
people can get out of the cold.
Were full all the time, Hender-
son said at the forum. Last week,
we turned away inquiries from
22 diferent families looking for
shelter.
According to David Smith, the
chair of the sociology depart-
ment at the University, 45 million
people live with incomes below
the federal poverty line and 20.5
million people live in households
with incomes of less than half the
poverty line.
Te statistics seem overwhelm-
ing but there is hope and help for
the community. While specialty
housing is scarce, there are steps
being taken to improve the home-
less conditions.
While the capacity for the shel-
ter sits at 125, Henderson is trying
to raise the capacity number to
whatever the city of Lawrence will
allow for the upcoming winter.
Te shelter has also taken many
steps to ensure that all of the oc-
cupants are well fed and clothed.
Tey provide turkey dinners and
winter clothing drives sponsored
by both students from the Uni-
versity and church participants
including the Trinity Lutheran
Church.
Students can do a lot and have
done a lot. Te Center for Com-
munity Outreach has done a lot
with us over the years, Hender-
son said.
According to Henderson the
University has contributed many
donations to the Shelter but he
also said that homelessness is a
complex issue in the community
that should be taken seriously and
should be a communal efort to
help eradicate.

Death penalty changes may lead to more executions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A death penalty opponent holds a sign during a vigil outside St. Francis Xavier
Church where a small group protested against the death penalty and the execution
of Joseph Paul Franklin on Nov. 19 in St. Louis.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Once
one of the most active death pen-
alty states in the U.S., Missouri car-
ried out its frst execution in nearly
three years Wednesday afer turn-
ing to a compounding pharmacy
to make the drug it needs for lethal
injections.
Te state's success in court over
its new execution method could
lead to Missouri carrying out more
death sentences. Although the
Democratic governor and attor-
ney general both support the death
penalty, there have been few death
sentences carried out in recent
years and legal wrangling over ex-
ecution procedures.
"Te courts at this point have
given Missouri a green light to
proceed with executions that are
scheduled," said Peter Joy, a law
professor at Washington Universi-
ty in St. Louis. "And barring either
specifc appeals related to some of
the planned executions that may
deal with issues unrelated to the
execution protocol or courts re-
visiting the issue of the execution
protocol that is now being used,
basically there's green light and the
door is open, and I anticipate more
executions."
Te execution of Joseph Franklin,
a white supremacist responsible for
slayings throughout the country,
was the frst lethal injection carried
out in Missouri since 2011 and just
the third since 2009. Missouri has
another execution scheduled for
December, which would make this
the frst year since 2005 that the
state has carried out multiple death
sentences. Te attorney general's
ofce has asked the Missouri Su-
preme Court to set execution dates
for 17 others, with some requests
dating back to 2006.
In a May 2012 motion to the Mis-
souri Supreme Court, the attorney
general's ofce wrote that "unless
this Court sets an execution date
afer a capital murder defendant's
legal process is exhausted, the peo-
ple of Missouri are without legal
remedy."
Franklin's execution went for-
ward afer the U.S. Supreme Court
upheld an appeals court's decision
overturning two stays granted
Tuesday evening by federal district
court judges. It was the frst time
Missouri has used the single drug
pentobarbital for an execution, and
Franklin's lawyers had raised that
as an issue in one of his appeals.
Like other states, Missouri had
a hard time obtaining drugs used
in executions when drug-makers
stopped selling them to prisons.
Last year, Missouri announced a
plan to use propofol, but it backed
of that afer an outcry from med-
ical professionals concerned that
supplies of the drug would dwindle
if the European Union followed
through on its threat to limit ex-
ports.
Missouri then turned to a com-
pounding pharmacy to make pen-
tobarbital, something states such
as Texas also have done to carry
out lethal injections. Few details
have been made public about the
compounding pharmacy Missouri
is using because state law provides
privacy for parties associated with
executions.
Franklin was the
69th person exe-
cuted in Missouri
since it reinstated
the death penal-
ty. Tat's the ffh
most in the U.S.,
behind Texas, Vir-
ginia, Oklahoma
and Florida, ac-
cording to fgures
from the Death
Penalty Informa-
tion Center. Since 1989, there have
been seven years without an exe-
cution in Missouri all but one
within the past decade. About 50
people in Missouri are currently on
death row.
Te next execution is scheduled
for Dec. 11. Allen Nicklasson is
scheduled to die for the 1994 kill-
ing of Excelsior Springs business-
man Richard Drummond, who
stopped to help when a car used by
Nicklasson and two others broke
down on Interstate 70 in central
Missouri.
Meanwhile, the American Civil
Liberties Union says it has litigated
over Missouri's execution protocol
and that will continue.
"Te shroud of secrecy surround-
ing the state's execution process
leads us to question its legitimacy,"
said Jefrey A. Mittman, executive
director for the ACLU of Missouri.
"Besides being
overly furtive,
the state also
fails to give
the public the
opportunity to
provide over-
sight of the
execution pro-
tocol to ensure
it is safe and
appropriate."
Franklin, 63,
was executed for killing Gerald
Gordon in a sniper shooting at a
suburban St. Louis synagogue in
1977. Franklin was convicted of
seven other murders, but the Mis-
souri case was the only one that
brought a death sentence.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, center, signs the states Religious Freedom and Marriage
Fairness Act into law Wednesday in Chicago.
CHICAGO Illinois Gov. Pat
Quinn signed legislation Wednes-
day allowing same-sex weddings
starting this summer, making Pres-
ident Barack Obama's home state
the 16th overall and largest in
the nation's heartland to legalize
gay marriage.
Te festivities at the University of
Illinois at Chicago featured a fam-
ily-friendly crowd, musical per-
formances and a stage lined with
American, Illinois and rainbow
fags.
"We understand in our state that
part of our unfnished business is
to help other states in the United
States of America achieve marriage
equality," Quinn said before he
signed the bill on a desk once used
by President Abraham Lincoln. He
said part of that mission was to en-
sure that "love is not relegated to a
second class status to any citizen in
our country."
References to freedom, equality,
fairness and Lincoln the desk
was where he penned his 1861 in-
augural address were peppered
throughout the event. In atten-
dance were top elected ofcials,
including Illinois Attorney General
Lisa Madigan and Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel. Organizers esti-
mated roughly 2,300 attended, in-
cluding activists and members of
the public.
Illinois, where Democrats lead
both legislative chambers and the
governor's ofce, legalized civ-
il unions in 2011, but the road to
same-sex marriage was bumpy.
When 2013 began advocates
hoped Illinois would've been the
10th state, but watched as other
states passed it. Gay marriage is
allowed in Washington D.C., and
15 other states; Hawaii's governor
signed a measure last week.
Even with support from top busi-
ness leaders, unions and some Re-
publicans, several lawmakers were
resistant to the idea. Tat included
some Democrats in more conser-
vative downstate Illinois and some
Chicago-area lawmakers.
Te measure was fought hard by
some of the state's most well-rec-
ognized religious fgures, includ-
ing Cardinal Francis George of the
Archdiocese of Chicago and the
Rev. James Meeks, a former state
senator who runs a politically-in-
fuential mega church in Chicago.
Meeks was part of a coalition of
black pastors who said marriage
should remain between a man and
woman and sponsored robocalls in
several legislative districts and on
the airwaves. Te opposition placed
black lawmakers in the House in a
spotlight and several evaded public
inquiries on the matter for months.
Although Illinois once appeared
poised to become the frst Mid-
western state to approve gay mar-
riage in the Legislature, Minnesota
did it sooner and started holding
its frst same-sex weddings over the
summer. Iowa allows gay marriages
too because of a court ruling, not a
legislative vote.

SAN FRANCISCO Te city of
San Francisco spent $105,000 in
public funds to honor a 5-year-old
boy with leukemia who captivat-
ed the nation with his exploits as
"Batkid," and it hopes to recoup the
money through private donations,
the mayor's spokeswoman said
Wednesday.
Most of the money went toward
renting a sound system, video
screens and other equipment at
the last minute to accommodate
the surprisingly large crowds that
gathered outside City Hall to watch
caped crusader Miles Scott receive
a chocolate key to the city, said
Christine Falvey, communications
director for Mayor Ed Lee.
"What started out as a few hun-
dred people at most on the steps of
City Hall ... grew into what would
obviously attract a 20,000-plus
crowd," Falvey said. "Tey weren't
going to see anything the way we
originally had it set up."
Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far
Northern California, was able to
fulfll his wish to be his favorite su-
perhero last week when the Make-
A-Wish Foundation arranged to
have him driven about San Fran-
cisco in a Lamborghini Batmobile
as he handled make-believe capers.
Te fantasy included a police
escort and an adult Batman im-
personator who accompanied the
costumed Batkid as he rescued a
damsel in distress from cable car
tracks, captured the Riddler as he
robbed a bank, and saved the San
Francisco Giants mascot from the
Penguin's clutches.
Te elaborate masquerade and
feel-good nature of the event made
Miles a social media darling. But a
city lawmaker and some residents
asked whether it was appropriate
for the city to subsidize a celebra-
tion for one child.
"Waiting for Miles the BatKid &
Wondering how many 1000s of SF
kids living of SNAP/FoodStamps
could have been fed from the $$,"
Supervisor Eric Mar wrote on In-
stagram. Afer Miles' supporters
denounced the comment, Mar
issued a statement that he simply
was seeking "similar amounts of
love, compassion and empathy for
children living every day in dire
circumstances."
Falvey said the costs would have
been even higher if vendors had not
ofered discounts or donated ser-
vices. Te San Francisco chapter of
Make-a-Wish hopes to reimburse
the city for what was spent through
private donations, she said.
Neither the police nor public
works departments incurred extra
expenses from Friday's daylong
event, which was stafed with of-
cers and maintenance workers on
their regular shifs, Falvey said.
"It was a very successful event. We
were honored to be part of it. Miles
gave to us more than we gave to
him," she said.

DALLAS Help yourself to
some nuts this holiday season: Reg-
ular nut eaters were less likely to die
of cancer or heart disease in fact,
were less likely to die of any cause
during a 30-year Harvard study.
Nuts have long been called heart-
healthy, and the study is the largest
ever done on whether eating them
afects mortality.
Researchers tracked 119,000 men
and women and found that those
who ate nuts roughly every day
were 20 percent less likely to die
during the study period than those
who never ate nuts. Eating nuts less
ofen also appeared to lower the
death risk, in direct
proportion to con-
sumption.
Te risk of dying
of heart disease
dropped 29 percent
and the risk of dy-
ing of cancer fell
11 percent among
those who had
nuts seven or more
times a week com-
pared with people
who never ate them.
Te benefts were seen from pea-
nuts as well as from pistachios,
almonds, walnuts and other tree
nuts. Te researchers did not look
at how the nuts were prepared
oiled or salted, raw or roasted.
A bonus: Nut eaters stayed slim-
mer.
"Tere's a general perception that
if you eat more nuts you're going
to get fat. Our results show the op-
posite," said Dr. Ying Bao of Har-
vard-afliated Brigham and Wom-
en's Hospital in Boston.
She led the study, published in
Tursday's New England Journal
of Medicine. Te National Insti-
tutes of Health and the Interna-
tional Tree Nut Council Nutrition
Research & Education Foundation
sponsored the study, but the nut
group had no role in designing it or
reporting the results.
Researchers don't know why nuts
may boost health. It could be that
their unsaturated fatty acids, min-
erals and other nutrients lower
cholesterol and infammation and
reduce other problems, as earlier
studies seemed to show.
Observational studies like this
one can't prove cause and efect,
only suggest a connection. Re-
search on diets is especially tough,
because it can be difcult to single
out the efects of any one food.
People who eat more nuts may
eat them on salads, for example,
and some of the beneft may come
from the leafy
greens, said Dr.
Robert Eckel,
a University
of Colorado
c ar di ol ogi s t
and former
president of
the American
Heart Associa-
tion.
Dr. Ralph
Sacco, a Uni-
versity of Miami neurologist who
also is a former heart association
president, agreed.
"Sometimes when you eat nuts
you eat less of something else like
potato chips," so the beneft may
come from avoiding an unhealthy
food, Sacco said.
Te Harvard group has long been
known for solid science on diets.
Its fndings build on a major study
earlier this year a rigorous ex-
periment that found a Mediterra-
nean-style diet supplemented with
nuts cuts the chance of heart-relat-
ed problems, especially strokes, in
older people at high risk of them.
Many previous studies tie nut
consumption to lower risks of heart
disease, diabetes, colon cancer and
other maladies.
In 2003, the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration said a fstful of nuts
a day as part of a low-fat diet may
reduce the risk of heart disease. Te
heart association recommends four
servings of unsalted, unoiled nuts a
week and warns against eating too
many, since they are dense in cal-
ories.
Te new research combines two
studies that started in the 1980s on
76,464 female nurses and 42,498
male health professionals. Tey
flled out surveys on food and life-
style habits every two to four years,
including how ofen they ate a serv-
ing (1 ounce) of nuts.
Study participants who ofen
ate nuts were healthier they
weighed less, exercised more and
were less likely to smoke, among
other things. Afer taking these
and other things into account, re-
searchers still saw a strong beneft
from nuts.

Former nursing student
sues two Kansas colleges

WICHITA A former nursing stu-
dent led a federal lawsuit Wednesday
against two community colleges in Kan-
sas over an adverse and secret clinical
reference she contends destroyed her
educational and employment opportu-
nities.
Rebecca A. Lemon sued Coffeyville
Community College and a nursing pro-
gram instructor for defamation. Her
lawsuit also claims the college falsely
assured her when she enrolled that its
nursing program would be accredited.
Lemon is also seeking a court order re-
quiring Labette Community College and
its nursing director to disclose the iden-
tity of the person whose reference was
the basis of her denial to that school's
nursing program. She wants copies of
her educational records, including a
copy of the adverse recommendation,
and a court order forcing the college to
admit her into its nursing program.
The colleges and the two employees
named as defendants did not immedi-
ately respond to emails seeking com-
ment. Lemon's attorney, Ray Simmons,
declined to comment on the ling.
In the complaint led in U.S. District
Court in Wichita, Lemon contends she
graduated in December 2012 from the
Coffeyville program with a 4.0 grade
point average in the core nursing cours-
es and a 3.92 overall grade point av-
erage. She was certied as a licensed
practical nurse the month later by the
Kansas Board of Nursing.
Lemon was accepted into Coffeyville's
resident nursing program, but instead
wanted to go to an accredited school,
according to the lawsuit. She took pre-
requisite classes at Labette Community
College in order to enter its accredited
resident nursing program.
Lemon is also seeking a court order re-
quiring Labette Community College and
its nursing director to disclose the iden-
tity of the person whose reference was
the basis of her denial to that schools
nursing program. She wants copies of
her educational records, including a
copy of the adverse recommendation,
and a court order forcing the college to
admit her into its nursing program.

named as defendants did not immedi-
ately respond to emails seeking com-
ment. Lemons attorney, Ray Simmons,

For a team that won just one game
two seasons ago, the Towson Tigers
are rising quickly.
Towson (3-1) travels to Allen
Fieldhouse to face the No. 2 Jay-
hawks at 7 p.m. on Friday night.
Afer a miserable 1-31 season in
2011-12, the Tigers improved their
record to a promising 18-13 last
season.
Teir bounce back campaign
has carried over to this year. Last
Tuesday, they knocked of a Tem-
ple team that made the Round of
32 at the NCAA Tournament last
season.
Who would have thought they
would be this good when we sched-
uled this game two years ago?
coach Bill Self said.
Te game stars two forwards who
won Player of the Week in their
respective conferences last week.
Perry Ellis was named one of two
Big 12 Players of the Week afer his
24-point outing against Duke at the
Champions Classic. He backed that
up with 21 points against Iona on
Tuesday. Te sophomore leads the
team averaging 19 points a game
and has made 21 of his 29 shot
attempts. He is also tied with Joel
Embiid for the team lead with eight
rebounds per night.
A likely candidate to guard Ellis
will be Towson senior forward Jer-
relle Benimon, the Colonial Athlet-
ic Association Player of the Week.
Benimon, the CAA preseason
player of the year, has been at the
top of his game for the Tigers. Af-
ter averaging 17 points and 11 re-
bounds his junior year, Benimon
came out of the gate strong and
has averaged 21 points and 10 re-
bounds in his last three games.
Tat included a monster perfor-
mance in the upset over Temple,
where Benimon recorded 32 points
and 10 rebounds.
Benimon led Towson to its most
successful season in the CAA a year
agoa big reason for the dramat-
ic turnaround. Te Tigers won a
school-record 13 conference games
and the squads second-place fnish
was the best in the programs his-
tory.
Coaches and media have taken
note as they selected Towson to
fnish frst in the CAA this sea-
son. Self knows the team wont be
a pushover.
Next to Duke, this will be the
best team we have played, so we
have to come with a diferent, more
aggressive mindset, Self said.
Unlike Kansas, the Tigers bring
back a majority of their contribu-
tors from last season as they return
four starters. Tese players com-
bined to average 47 of the teams
68-point average last season.
While trending upward, Towson
took a hit on Sunday as it fell on
the road 78-44 to the Villanova
Wildcats. Kansas (3-0) shrugged
of a sloppy frst half to defeat Iona
86-66 on Tuesday to remain unde-
feated.
Te last time the two teams met,
the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers
100-54 at Allen Fieldhouse during
Towsons one-victory season two
years ago. Dont expect a similar
game on Friday.

Jayhawks match up against progressing Towson Tigers
No. 11 Kansas won 25-21, 25-23,
22-25, 25-20 in Ames, Iowa, last
night against the No. 21 Iowa State
Cyclones for the frst time since
2004.
Junior right side hitter Chelsea
Albers set the tone in the frst set
with six kills and two blocks.
Chelsea played awesome, red
shirt senior middle blocker Caro-
line Jarmoc said. Tis was her best
match of the year. She was con-
necting well with Erin [McNorton]
so we utilized that and Chelsea was
our main attacker.
Te Jayhawks
needed some-
one to step up
in the four-set
win last night
to help battle
to become the
second place
team in the Big
12 Conference
for the frst time in program histo-
ry. Albers flled that role last night,
and head coach Ray Bechard said
that Albers was big time.
She had epic swings and epic
kills with only one error, Bechard
said. She got going and kept us in
it, and took so many big swings
for us. Im very proud of her and
this was one of her more complete
matches since coming to Kansas.
Te key for Albers attacking last
night was trying to be as aggressive
against Iowa State, who lead the
Big 12 Conference in digs per set.
Hitting line was working really
well and I was trying to be as ag-
gressive as possible, Albers said.
Every swing I hit the ball as hard
as I can and being aggressive was
the number one thing I was look-
ing at.
Te Jayhawks excitement of the
night was the ability to tie the sea-
son series against the Cyclones af-
ter they beat Kansas in Lawrence
on Oct. 23, and Kansas improved
their road record to 10-2. Every
player on the Jayhawk roster hadnt
won a match in Ames. A sense of
a must win was the feeling before
the match.
I personally wanted to beat them
with every ounce of my being, said
Albers, who ended the night with
the team-high 14 kills. Teyre a
very good school and I havent beat
them at their home since I came
to KU. Tis win was much needed
and it feels really good.
Not every aspect of the match was
pretty last night. Junior outside hit-
ter Sara McClinton didnt start the
match well, hitting three kills on 15
attempts, four errors and a season
low 0.67 hitting percentage.
She couldnt quite get it going
and she knew it, Bechard said.
In the middle of the second set,
Bechard benched McClinton for
sophomore outside hitter Tiana
Dockery, who fnished the game
and ended the match with fve kills
on 13 attempts and only one error.
Dockery came in and picked
us up and Sara was really happy
Dockery played well, Bechard
said. Tats what good teams can
do, rely on their bench. We needed
someone to come in and pick us up
and Dockery did that for sure.
Te Jayhawks are now 21-6 over-
all and 11-3 in Big 12 Conference
play. Afer the win against Iowa
State, Kansas is now second in the
Big 12 for the frst time in program
history.
Te Jayhawks will celebrate, but
they know they have work lef in
the season.
I was very excited, this was the
year to do it, Jarmoc said. Im su-
per proud of my team and it was a
team efort for sure.
Te Jayhawks have three more
matches lef, beginning with the
Texas Tech Raider on Saturday at
the Horejsi Athletic Center at 1
p.m.

VanVleet, Baker lead
No. 14 Wichita St. to win
TULSA, Okla. Tied at halftime with
winless Tulsa, 14th-ranked Wichita
State walked off the court to chants of
"overrated!"
Following an early season pattern, the
Shockers found the offensive rhythm
necessary to validate their ranking in
the second half.
Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker each
scored 21 points and Wichita State n-
ished with a 26-6 run to shake free of
pesky Tulsa for a 77-54 win Wednesday
night in its rst road game of the sea-
son.
The Shockers shot 53.6 percent from
the eld in the second half after hitting
just 35.7 percent in a rst half that end-
ed 31-all.
"We want to change that and play the
rst half the way that we are playing the
second half," VanVleet said. "We know
that our ranking can be a shot of ener-
gy for the other team at the start of the
game. But we know that we can grind on
the other team for a while and then we
will bust it open."
Leading 51-48 after an inside basket
by Tulsa's James Woodard, Wichita State
scored the next eight points to force a
Golden Hurricane timeout with 8:35 left.
Wichita State (5-0) has outscored its
opponents by a combined 71 points in
the second half the past four games.
Tulsa (0-3) was 13 for 30 from the free
throw line. In its two home games this
season, Tulsa is 30 for 66 from the line.
"We simply have to step up to the line
and make shots," Tulsa head coach
Danny Manning said. "We're disappoint-
ed and upset that we lost this game. We
got beat. There are no moral victories.
We have to get better and we have to
battle in the second half the way we did
in the rst half tonight."
Tulsa pulled to 10 points on a 3-point-
er by Pat Swilling with 5:39 to play, but
VanVleet and Baker took over the game
from there. VanVleet notched a 3-pointer
on Wichita State's next possession and
Baker capped off the Shockers' next two
trips down the court with a jumper and
a 3-pointer to boost Wichita State's ad-
vantage to 71-53 with 3:26 remaining.
Associated Press
L
ast Friday afernoon, the No. 3 re-
cruit in the nation for college bas-
ketball selected KU over DePaul,
Memphis and Illinois. In a live television
announcement, he ended Kansas hat los-
ing streak on ESPN. It was a huge get for
Bill Self, even though the numbers one and
four recruits, Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones,
chose to go to Duke together. Tere will be
no worries.
Standing at 68 and weighing 240
pounds, the high school senior power for-
ward has been a huge sensation in the Chi-
cago area, which is where he is from. He is
able to hit jumpers, play defense and even
literally crash the boards. At one game, he
went up for the dunk and the glass from
the backboard broke of. Incredible!
He will be joining Kelly Oubre Jr., the No.
10 recruit in the class of 2014. He is a small
forward from Texas who has quick feet and
a gorgeous shot in his gameplay. Tose two
together will be incredible to watch and to
have on the court.
Te recruiting process isnt quite over
yet, but with the signing of Clif Alexander,
Jayhawk fans should be very excited for
next year. One note, my favorite part about
Clifs live announcement was his fake-out
of choosing Illinois. Tat defnitely caused
Illinois fans to go nuts and was enjoyable
to see.

CLUB SPORTS
Tis past Saturday the KU wom-
ens rugby team sealed their unde-
feated season with a win against
Mid-Missouri. Te playofs will
begin in the spring where the Jay-
hawks hope to make it to Nation-
als.
Even more amazing than the
teams fawless record is the fact
that most of the girls had never
played rugby before coming to the
University.
Erica Rudof, a sophomore from
Sugar Land, Texas, said that she
had played high school soccer and
would ofen get into trouble for
being too aggressive. She planned
on trying out for the soccer club
but when she found out that the
University had a rugby club, she
decided to go for it and fell in love
with the sport.
Jaden Gragg, a junior from Shaw-
nee who was also new to the game
as a freshman, said that everything
came together for herself and the
team this year.
We work really well as a team
and have good
communi cati on
on the feld,
Gragg said.
Team execu-
tive Lauren Law-
son said that the
squad always tries
to motivate one
another to keep
playing and the
tone that the girls
set for each other
contributes to their success.
Another factor that adds to the
teams success is the work of coach
Kirsten Abel Ruch. Players agree
that her positive attitude and mo-
tivation push the team to turn a
losing game into a winning one.
According to Lawson, Ruch is all
about recognition and improve-
ment.
No matter what she always has
something positive to say and we
defnitely owe
every win to
her, Rudof
said.
Te Jayhawks
have a unique
tradition af-
ter every game
where the two
opposing teams
meet at a local
restaurant. Tis
is where the
MVPs, or the man of the match,
as they call it in the rugby world,
are named.
Its sort of the rugby way of
thanking our opposition for go-
ing through an 80 minute beating
along with us, because without
them we wouldnt have a match to
play, Lawson said.
Rudof said that its great to meet
your opposition because its not so
much about winning or losing as
it is about getting to play the game
they love and meeting others who
love it too.
With a growing interest in the
sport, the club welcomes all new
players at any time throughout
the year. Even if the season is over,
players and coaches are happy to
talk to anyone interested in join-
ing the team. You can contact the
team at kuwomensrugby.gmail.
com or through their Facebook
fan page and Facebook group:

ORLANDO, Fla. LeBron
James scored 21 points and hand-
ed out seven assists, Chris Bosh
scored 18 points and the Miami
Heat beat the Orlando Magic
120-92 on Wednesday night for
their ffh straight victory.
James Jones scored 14 of his 17
points in the third quarter, when
the Heat turned what was a fve-
point game into a runaway.
All fve Miami starters sat out
the fourth quarter for the second
straight night, and Dwyane Wade
sat out the whole way once again
to give his knees more rest.
Michael Beasley scored 14
points and Chris Andersen add-
ed 10 for the Heat, who opened
the game on a 16-0 run, lost the
lead briefy in the second quarter,
then dominated afer halfime.
Arron Afalo scored 20 of his
30 points in the frst half for
Orlando, and made 7 of 9 shots
from 3-point range. Victor Olad-
ipo scored 20 points, though had
eight turnovers, giving him 17 in
his past two games.
Jameer Nelson scored 17 for the
Magic.
Jones started in Wades place
and went 4 for 5 from beyond
the arc in the third quarter alone,
including back-to-back 3s that
helped blow the game open. Af-
ter connecting to make it 68-57,
Jones took a pass from James,
watched Nelson sail past afer
falling victim to a head fake, then
coolly hit another 3 to extend Mi-
amis lead to 14.
Tats what happens when you
double, James shouted, and the
Heat didnt lose control again.
Just as was the case Tuesday
against Atlanta, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra let the second unit fn-
ish the game of in the fourth.
Te win improved Spoelstras
career record to 269-137, inch-
ing him past the legendary Red
Auerbach for ffh on the NBAs
all-time winning percentage list
for coaches.

Starting At:
As the seconds ticked of the
clock in the fourth quarter of Sat-
urdays win over West Virginia,
ffh-year senior ofensive lineman
Gavin Howard searched the side-
lines for someone willing to help
dump a bucket of water over coach
Charlie Weis.
Mostly his teammates were afraid
that Weis would get mad.
I was going to do it no matter
what, Howard said. So, fnally I
found another senior to do it with
me.
Senior linebacker Darius Willis
decided to help Howard in the end,
and Weis had no problems with it.
He wasnt mad at all. He was ex-
cited, Howard said. Who can be
mad afer a good win?
It was the frst conference win
that Howard has played in during
his fve years at Kansas. Howard
has been through 44 losses, 27
straight conference losses and three
head coaches during his time at the
University.
Weis said that the ffh-year se-
niors are the players who have been
through the most instability and
criticism, and have still worked as
hard as anybody to improve.
Tats who I was the happiest
for, Weis said of the ffh-year se-
niors. I think even though there
havent been a bunch of rewards, a
game like Saturday, it was so good
to look in their faces.
Weis said that it was a look of
pure joy.
Afer the game, Howard was the
frst player into the room to speak
with media.
Howard wasnt a starter on the
ofensive line to begin the season,
but as the unit struggled and Weis
made adjustments, Howard found
himself as the starting center by the
ffh game of the season.
He hasnt relinquished the spot
since, bringing some confdence to
a team that has had its share of crit-
icism this season.
Tough hes had some bad snaps
he said he would like to have back,
Howards experience on the ofen-
sive line has made him a leader in
the unit. He takes it upon himself
to unite the group.
Te center is really the key to
making sure the line is together as
a unit, Howard said.
Senior Riley Spencer said that
Howard is able to make sure every-
one understands the situation and
where to be, and with the constant
changes on the line this season, hes
a useful guy to have at center.
Its good to have a center that
not only knows their position but
knows everyone elses position,
and that has been his biggest asset,
Spencer said.
Howard will play just two more
games as a Jayhawk: this Saturday
at Iowa State and a home game
against Kansas State on Nov. 30.
If the victory over West Virginia
was dedicated to the seniors, How-
ard isnt satisfed just yet.
I really think the biggest dedica-
tion would be to win the last three
games, Howard said.
It had been three years since
Howard had seen his last Big 12
win, and he said the time felt lon-
ger than that.
But he remains focused on build-
ing up his teammates. He wants
to give them something that will
bring confdence for next season.
Its been a rough ride, but we
have a chance to right the ship here
at the end, and they can take the
momentum into next year, How-
ard said.

Montell Cozart was listed atop the
depth chart for the rst time and
will make his rst road start at
Iowa on Saturday. Cozart showed
some ashes last week as a
passer, and proved he can sling it
when given the time. James Sims
set a career high last week with
211 rushing yards and could see
some more daylight as Iowa State
surrendered 405 rushing yards to

The defense held West Virginia
in check for the most part last
week, save for a few big plays.
Iowa State starts a freshman,
Sam Rosarch, at quarterback,
who has had his fair share of
struggles. Kansas will have a
lesser test this week, but this
defense has become susceptible
to the big plays early on. Winning
the turnover battle is crucial, and
with the likes of JaCorey Sheppard
and Isaiah Johnson against a
spotty quarterback, the game can
easily change.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Ben Goodman blocked a kick
last week, which was clearly the
highlight of the special teams.
This unit has recovered from its
mistakes after a rough start early
in the season.
James Sims. With Sims having only two games left, look for Weis to ground and pound it with Sims in a game that
will likely be tight and ugly. If the offensive line can open up holes for Sims to get through the defense, then the
Jayhawks shouldnt have much trouble locking in their second conference victory of the season.

Joel Embiid
As Embiid
registered his
rst career
double-double
against the
Gaels, his
father was
witnessing his son play basketball for
the rst time. Embiid was a perfect 7-7
from the oor and showed off his skills
in front of his father. Fortunately for
Kansas, the elder Embiid will be in the
stands when Towson comes to town too.
Naadir Tharpe, Guard
Tharpe seemingly returned to form in Tuesday nights victory over Iona. The junior
notched 10 assists with just one turnover. Nights like that will make Kansas coach Bill
Self extremely happy and allows the Jayhawks offense to nd, and keep, a solid rhythm.
Wayne Selden Jr., Guard

It still feels like Selden is trying to nd his place on the oor. Against Iona the freshman
shot 50 percent from the oor (3-6) with ve assists but didnt particularly stand out.
Hes still a viable option to run the offense if Tharpe and Frank Mason run into foul
trouble.
Andrew Wiggins, Guard

If its possible to quietly score 13 points off of mainly dunks, Andrew Wiggins has found
the way. In most other games Wiggins athleticism would have been the highlight of the
night but the emergence of Joel Embiid and the scoring power of Perry Ellis down low took
the attention off of Wiggins against the Gaels.
Perry Ellis, Forward

Through three games this season Ellis is averaging 19 points. Theres no reason to
expect that to slow down anytime soon. Ellis seems to drastically improve from game
to game. His footwork and nishing ability allows him to keep the defense guessing in
the paint.
Tarik Black, Forward

We still have yet to see what Black can really bring to the Jayhawks lineup. The senior
transfer hasnt found a way to keep himself out of foul trouble and his playing time
reects it. Its also important to remember hes adjusting to a new team and system as
well.

COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF
All eyes are on Joel Embiid as Fridays game nears
KANSAS STARTERS Even with star power like Andrew
Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr. on the
perimeter the Jayhawks will only go as
far as their big men take them. Going
solely off of the Iona game, that seems to
be pretty far. Joel Embiid took a seismic
step in his development and Perry Ellis
continues to put up double digits.
53 Percent that the Jayhawks have
shot from the eld in each game this
season.
57 Points scored by Perry Ellis through
three games
68 Kansas free throw percentage
When will Tarik Black make his
defensive adjustment? If you include
the preseason, Black has played ve
straight games in which hes run into
foul trouble. Kansas has showed it has
the depth to deal with that issue, but the
Jayhawks are no doubt a stronger team
if Black can play to his potential.

Junior cross country runner Reid
Buchanan earned an automatic bid
to the NCAA National Champi-
onships with his 12th place fnish
at the NCAA Midwest Regional
Championships last Friday at the
Iowa State Cross Country Course.
Buchanan will be the frst Jay-
hawk to compete in the race since
Don Wasinger did in 2010, fnish-
ing 233rd overall with a time of
33:02.7. Te race will be held in
Terre Haute, Ind., this Saturday.
Afer losing his shoe just 1K into
the race at regionals, Buchanan
pushed through the last 9K of
the 10K race in 30:43.50, just 15
seconds behind frst place fnish-
er Chris OHare from Tulsa, at an
average pace of 4:56 per mile. He
actually ran the second half of the
race faster than the frst half
shoeless and all.
Catching back up with our guys:
Evan (Landes), Josh (Munsch), and
James (Wilson) made me com-
fortable, Buchanan said. Tey
gave me enough confdence to get
through. I know I couldnt have
done as well without them.
But this Saturday, Buchanan will
have to do it without his team-
mates, hopefully with both shoes.
Buchanan has past experience
at the course for Saturdays race,
when he raced with the team on
Oct. 19 during the ISU Pre-Nation-
al Invitational. Buchanan fnished
37th overall, and frst for the Jay-
hawks with a time of 24:05.84 for
the 8K course.
Te Jayhawks will head to Tope-
ka this weekend where they will
host the Kansas Classic. Te team,
now 2-3, will compete against fve
other schools in the champion-
ship-style meet.
Te meet is slated for the entire
weekend and will start Friday,
Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. and will run
through Sunday, Nov. 24. Schools
competing against the Jayhawks
include the US Air Force Acade-
my, Iowa State, Nebraska-Lincoln,
Nebraska-Omaha and Northern
Iowa.
Kansas has already competed
against US Air Force and Ne-
braska-Omaha this season. Te
Jayhawks lost their season open-
er against the Air Force Academy
and defeated Nebraska-Omaha on
Nov. 2 in Lawrence.
Kansas swimming and diving
coach Clark Campbell expects a
lot of competition from the other
teams for the top spot this week-
end.
Teres a total of six teams in
this meet, and I think four of those
teams will be competing for the
top spot: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
State and Air Force, Campbell
said.
Te meet will be held at the Cap-
itol Federal Natatorium in Topeka,
but is considered a home meet for
the Jayhawks. It will be set up as
an NCAA Championship meet
and the events will be circle-seed-
ed for the preliminaries, according
to KUAthletics.com.
Preliminary events will take
place on Friday and Saturday and
the fnals will be held on Sunday.
Sundays fnals will also be tele-
vised on Time Warner Sports Net-
work starting at 3 p.m.
Te Jayhawks have had two
weeks of to prepare for this meet,
afer a November 9 loss to Illinois.
We got in a really good week of
training afer Illinois, Campbell
said. We really went afer it.
Afer that training week the team
is resting up for the three-day
meet.
Its a diferent meet, its a cham-
pionship style meet, not a dual
meet so it happens over three days
instead of one, Campbell said.
We are letting the girls rest up
a bit for that. Hopefully they are
fresh and ready to go on Friday.
While the weekend will be flled
with tough competition for the
Jayhawks, Campbell expects some
of the strongest times of the fall leg
of the season.
We want to have the best meet
thus far in the fall, Campbell said.
We want to go the fastest we have
thus far in the collegiate season.
Te Jayhawks will take another
two weeks of afer this weekend
and travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to
compete at USA winter nationals
on Dec. 5-7. Tis will be the frst
chance for the Jayhawks to indi-
vidually qualify for NCAA Na-
tionals in February. Te Jayhawks
next home meet is against William
Jewell on Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. in Law-
rence.
