Last week, the U.S.

Supreme
Court opened the door for
the legalization of same-sex
marriage in Kansas, a choice
that has been celebrated by
parts of the KU community.
[Te reaction] has been
very positive, very surprised,
said Mitchell Cota, president
of Spectrum KU, a student
association dedicated to
celebrating gender and
sexuality diversity.
People are not taking it as
real. Some people still cant
believe that this happened in
Kansas so quickly, Cota said.
Te Supreme Court declined
to hear appeals against
decisions from states in three
Circuit Courts that found bans
against same-sex marriage to
be unconstitutional. Tis may
allow for marriage equality
in all the states governed by
these Circuit Courts, one of
which Kansas belongs to.
As an associate professor of
women, gender and sexuality
studies, Katie Batza has
been able to see the student
communitys reaction to the
decision and the surprise it
has brought to her students
who are invested in the
issue.
Ive seen a lot of my students
who are actually really excited
about it. Tey seem really
pumped about it. My sense of
my students response is that
everybodys kind of shocked,
but pleasantly so, Batza said.
We knew it was coming, it
was just a matter of time to get
here to Kansas. [Students are
surprised that] were ranked
in the twenties in terms of the
number of states that got gay
marriage, rather than the late
forties.
Some are taking the
marriage equality victory as
a relief, as much as anything,
as it allows LGBTQ activists
to now adjust their focus
on other issues afecting the
community.
A big issue is poverty in the
queer community, Cota said.
A lot of LGBTQ students, and
people in general, get kicked
out of their houses, they get
their fnancial sources cut of,
so were probably going to
focus more on advocacy for
helping those persons.
Batza also saw the beneft in
the LGBTQ community being
able to move past marriage
equality, stating that it allowed
people to focus on some
issues that are perhaps more
pressing and representative
of more diverse communities
within the LGBT community.
However, despite the
decision of the U.S. Supreme
Court, Kansas courts are
refusing to comply, and wont
grant marriage licenses to
same-sex couples. Kansas
courts are waiting until there
is explicit clarifcation at a
federal level, but Batza said
she believes it to be a matter
of time until they are forced to
concede their position.
Tey dont really have a
legal leg to stand on here.
Basically theyre trying to
drag their feet as long as
humanly possible, Batza said.
Kansas lawmakers are trying
to get the Supreme Court to
specifcally make a decision
on it, specifcally for Kansas,
even though Kansas clearly
falls within one of these
Circuit Court rulings.

Students and residents of
Lawrence could help fund a
new police station every time
they go out and spend money,
starting next April.
A sales tax increase of
0.2 percent to raise money for
constructing and equipping
the new facility has been
approved by the Chamber of
Commerce. All thats needed
now is voters approval, which
will be decided at the Nov. 4
general election.
Te cost of the new facility is
$25.7 million, according to the
citys website, but $24.2 million
could be raised by sales taxes. If
voters approve the tax increase,
0.2 percent of the cost of their
purchases will go toward
the new building. Sgt. Trent
McKinley of the Lawrence
Police Department puts this
in perspective by saying its
the same ratio as two cents is
to $10.
Te funding by taxes will
expire afer nine years, unless
the $24.2 million is raised
before then, McKinley said. So,
the more money people spend
in Lawrence, the faster it will
be paid of.
If we have really good sales
tax returns, lots of people are
spending money in Lawrence
and it gets paid of in seven and
a half years, then thats when
the tax would stop, he said.
McKinley said the main
reason behind building a new
police facility is to consolidate
all of their ofcers and services.
Right now, there are six police
buildings around town, and
having the department in
one location would make for
more efcient service. Te new
facilitys size is planned to be
63,000 square feet, while the
separate facilities now have a
combined square footage of
37,489, according to the citys
website.
McKinley works in the
west facility on Bob Billings
and Wakarusa, but the actual
law enforcement building is
downtown. He said he doesnt
ever see patrol ofcers because
of how the department is
geographically split up.
We, in administration or
detectives, dont have the
interactions with the men
and women that are on the
street, that are taking calls
and gathering information,
McKinley said. So theres a
lot of missed opportunities to
share information and solve
crimes if youre not together
and youre not interacting.
McKinley said having
locations all over the place
has also been confusing for
residents because theyre not
sure where to go and ofen end
up at the wrong building and
must be redirected to the right
one. If there is one facility, then
residents will know where
to go and it will save time for
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Lawrence voters can vote Nov. 4 to approve a new police station. They can also vote to approve a 0.2 percent sales tax increase to fund the new station, which will cost $25.7 million.
Hearings set for men
arrested in alleged
Hashinger rape cases
Preliminary hearings for
William Noah McCoy, a University
student, and John Harris Jossie,
a student at Johnson County
Community College, who were
charged with alleged rape
Thursday afternoon, have been
pushed to Nov. 4 at 2 p.m., so
evidence may be collected for
both cases.
Hearings for motions made
by both court-appointed
lawyers of the accused were
set for Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. The
lawyers also requested bond
modifications but were denied,
so bond remains at $50,000 cash
or surety.
McCoy, from Olathe, and
Jossie, from Lawrence, both 21
years old, were arrested Oct.
7 on suspicion of raping two
women in Hashinger Residence
Hall, according to Capt. James
Anguiano of the KU Public
Safety Office. The alleged rapes
occurred between 2 a.m. and
5 a.m. on Sept. 28.
Anguiano said the PSO began
its investigation Oct. 3 after the
two women made reports. He
also said while the alleged rapes
occurred the same morning as the
alleged Kappa Sigma fraternity
sexual assault incidents, the two
are not related.
The PSO reviewed the Hashinger
Residence Hall incidents
because they happened on
campus, but Lawrence Police are
investigating the claims against
Kappa Sigma, which is located
off campus at 1045 Emery Rd.
Anguiano said the office
handed over reports to the
Douglas County District Attorney,
who will carry out the case.

Proposed sales tax could fund new police station

Its something that I think

that the sales tax, in this

fairest way to pay for the

Riley County residents Darcie Bonhenblust and her partner,
Joleen Hickman submitted a same-sex marriage application
Oct. 9. They were told there was a three-day waiting peri-
od but they received an order from Judge Meryl Wilson on
Oct. 10 stating their application had been denied.
A Shawnee County District Court spokeswoman announced
Oct. 9 that same-sex couples are able to apply for wedding
licenses in Shawnee County. However, these licenses will not
be issued until a higher Kansas court rules that same-sex
marriages are permitted in the state.
Chief District Judge Kevin Moriarty of John-
son County issued an order Oct. 8 allowing
same-sex marriage licenses to be issued to
same-sex couples. Johnson County is the only
Kansas county doing so.
Douglas County Court has been turning same-sex marriage licens-
es down due to an administrative order from Chief Judge of the
Douglas County Court Robert Fairchild saying The Clerk of the Dis-
trict Court shall not issue a marriage license to these applicants or
to any other applicants of the same sex.

Student Senate began
working on developing an
of-campus lighting project
which, if successful, would
give better light to an area
along Louisiana street where
many students live and walk
every day.
Te area, between 11th and
13th streets on Louisiana
Street, is a path between the
GSP and Corbin residence hall
complex and the scholarship
halls. One particular area of
concern is the Alumni Place
lot at 12th and Louisiana
streets. It is a gravel parking
lot ofen referred to by area
students as the rape lot.
Its referred to as the
rape lot which is obviously
not a great name, and I
actually found out through
conversations with various
students that its been called
that for years, student body
Vice President Miranda
Wagner said.
Capt. James Anguiano of
the Ofce of Public Safety said
the name has been around for
a long time, and there used to
be another lot also referred
to as the rape lot, but Public
Safety didnt have record of
sexual assaults happening
at that lot, which no longer
exists.
In recent history we havent
had any incidents reported
there, Anguiano said.
Te lot came to the attention
of Wagner when she was
a scholarship hall resident
during her frst two years at
the University. She said its
common knowledge that
most of the female scholarship
hall residents are afraid of that
parking lot, so shes excited to
be able to do something about
it.
It seems kind of ridiculous
that nothings been done, but
thats what were here for,
Wagner said.
Wagner said the Senate
has identifed a few of the
current problems including
the number, brightness and
height of lights. She also said
using student dollars would
be unlikely and a last resort.
Everything outside of that
one parking lot, however, is
city land. So, if any lights were
installed in the area, it would
have to be by the City of
Lawrence, not the University.
Members of the Senate are
meeting with the City next
week.
Mark Tiel, assistant public
works director for the city,
said there are already the
standard Westar lights in
that area, and if there were a
project, he believes it would
be for additional lighting.
Weve been asking about
lighting there before, but I
think its a question of what
type of lighting, Tiel said.
In 2011, the Student Safety
Advisory Board, which
oversees on-campus safety
and includes both senators
and members of diferent
branches of University
administration, partnered
with the city to install lights
along 14th Street from
Louisiana to Vermont, in an
area frequented by students.
Te lights arent standard city
lights and are lower to the
ground.
Wagner said this wouldnt
be the only lighting project
this year, but that it is a main
problem area she wants to
focus on frst.

Sexual assault task force begins to review
current campus policies with KU attorney
Members of the sexual
assault task force have
begun their review of the
Universitys sexual assault
policies in order to formulate
recommendations for
revision.
Tey met with a University
attorney to discuss legal
aspects pertaining to the
sexual assault policies. Te
discussion was part of the
second meeting of the task
force last Friday. Tat portion
of the meeting was closed to
the public, but the meeting
agenda indicated that the
attorney, Rachel Rolf, would
clarify University jurisdiction
and discuss sanctions for on-
and of-campus crimes.
Before they can make
recommendations to improve
the policies, they need to have
a thorough understanding
of them said Alesha Doan,
co-chair of the task force.
Right now we are simply
gathering information; we
need all of the relevant pieces,
Doan said. We must have
a grasp of what the policy is
before we can improve it.
Te discussion between Rolf
and the task force accounted
for over an hour of the
two-hour meeting. Rolf said
the discussion was confdential
under attorney-client privilege
and asked anyone who is not
a member of the task force to
leave for that portion.
Rolf said she would answer
legal questions from task force
members regarding the KU
Policy and the Code of Student
Rights and Responsibilities.
Te members will discuss the
information provided by Rolf
at the next task force meeting.
Doan said the task force and
Rolf also looked for potential
conficts between how sexual
assault is addressed by the
Code of Student Rights
and Responsibilities, which
is reviewed by Student
Senate, and University
administrative policy. Te
task force is evaluating the
Code of Student Rights and
Responsibilities and will make
recommendations for how it
can be revised and improved.
As part of the process, task
force members will review
the sexual assault policies of
other Big 12 universities. Tey
will use those policies as a
reference point and suggested
questions for the task force
members to consider in that
review.
What are the best practices
that we see elsewhere?
Doan said. Is that a model
or something we could use
here?
Te four goals to be
addressed are KU Policy,
Student Policy, Survivor
Support, and Research and
Prevention.
Te task force will submit
their recommendations
to Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little and Jefrey Vitter,
provost and executive vice
chancellor, on April 20.
Gray-Little announced the
creation of the task force
in an emailed message on
Sept. 11 as one of several steps
to help the University develop
more efective solutions for
preventing and responding to
sexual assault. Te Universitys
handling of sexual assault
has outraged some students
and drawn national scrutiny.
Student groups, such as the
September Siblings, have
demanded the University
reform its response to sexual
assault.
Te task force now has
an ofcial email address,
taskforce@ku.edu, for the
public to send questions and
suggestions regarding how
the University should address
sexual assault. Tey are also
in the process of creating a
website, SATaskForce.ku.edu,
that would post an update
afer each meeting and
include a space for members
of the public to comment. Te
website will be done by the
end of this week.
MIRANDA DAVIS/KANSAN
This parking lot at 12th and Louisiana streets, commonly referred to as the rape lot, is the rst on the list

ALESHA DOAN

remaining meetings. Among
the upcoming calendar
events for this semester are
guest speakers from GaDuGi

everybody.
Te new facility would
be near 2nd Street and
McDonald Drive, just south
of the I-70/Kansas Turnpike,
or about nine blocks north of
Memorial Stadium. McKinley
said the location for the new
facility is in a centralized spot
so police ofcers can get to
places quickly.
If there was ever a major
incident on campus, the
Lawrence Police Department
would have a very large
response to that. We could
even be frst to respond to that
in some cases, he said.
McKinley said most
students they serve on a
daily basis are students who
live in of-campus facilities.
Te University has its own
police, the KU Public Safety
Ofce, for on-campus crimes.
McKinley said even though
Lawrence police and the
Public Safety Ofce have
separate areas of jurisdiction,
they work together when
its needed, like with
investigations.
Mayor Mike Amyx also said
the city wants a new facility
where all the police ofcers
and personnel work from one
location. He said they want
this facility to be afordable
and to be in the best location
possible for accessing all of
Lawrence.
Its been a goal of the
governing body over a
number of years to be able
to get the entire police
department under one roof,
Amyx said.
Te city has tried to get
as much information as
possible to the Lawrence
public so they know what
theyre voting for and why.
Amyx said residents and
visitors spend money in
Lawrence and both need and
use the police departments
services, so the sales tax seems
like the best way to create
fnancial support for the new
facility and to enhance police
services.
Its something that I think
that the sales tax, in this
particular case, is the fairest
way to pay for the building,
he said.
McKinley said the last time
there was a building built
specifcally for police was in
the 1940s, and they tried to
get approval for a building in
the mid-1990s.
We dont know what
we would do if it [sales tax
increase] doesnt pass, other
than to continue trying to
limp along as weve been
doing for a number of years,
he said.
If the sales tax increase
is approved by voters, the
collections for the facility will
start April 1, 2015, or sooner
if the law allows it, according
to the facilitys page on the
citys website.

proposal and to view maps of
the current facility locations
and the location of the
future facility, go to www.

Every morning she teaches,
Mary Klayder, a professor
in the English Department,
experiences unwelcome
guests in Wescoe Hall.
There are definitely
cockroaches in the bathroom
in the morning, Klayder
said.
Caitlyn Sutherlin, a
freshman from Shawnee, has
also seen pests in Lewis and
Hashinger halls, including a
cockroach and a centipede.
On-campus pest control, a
service managed by Facilities
Services (FS), is on the rise
during the fall, according to
information provided by FS.
In September, 61 pest
control reports were filed,
as opposed to 60 in July and
August combined.
FS said during the fall,
the pests try to enter the
buildings to escape the cold.
They said the Universitys
pest problem is average
for having this amount of
buildings.
The University also said the
buildings that tend to have
the most problems are older
with active steam tunnels.
In regards to which pests
are most prevalent on
campus, FS said there may
not be one particular pest
that is worse than the rest,
but American roaches do get
the most attention.
To handle these issues, FS
has a contract with Midwest
Exterminators, a local
company. Michele Boone,
a general technician from
Midwest Exterminators,
works with the University to
manage its pest problem.
Boone is on campus a
couple of days each week,
in addition to being on-call
whenever an issue arises in a
specific office or classroom.
She said each academic
building is swept once every
two weeks for pests.
In order for her to go to
a building to deal with an
issue, a student or staff
member must fill out a
request through FS, Boone
said.
When dealing with a pest
problem, however, Boone
and FS are somewhat
limited in how they can
handle it. Boone said
there is a University-wide
environmental initiative
which asks her to avoid using
harmful chemicals as much
as possible.
This initiative is called
Integrated Pest Management,
and it has been in effect for
about 10 years, FS said.
Vince Avila, deputy
director of FS, said the
initiative is about protecting
staff and students from
harmful chemicals. When
strong chemicals are used
on pests, its also harmful for
any bystanders who breathe
in the chemicals.
Avila said the chemicals
currently used by Midwest
Exterminators and FS are
weaker so they dont harm
humans, which also means
theyre weaker on the pests.
While these methods are
much safer for staff, students
and the environment,
problems take much longer
to solve once they are
discovered, according to FS.
If there is a pest problem on
campus, in housing facilities
or academic buildings, it
can be reported by going to
Facilities Services website,

Facilities Services had 61 pest control reports led in September, compared to 60 in July and August combined. FS said American cockroaches are the
most commonly reported.
Eighty-fve students
pursuing a masters degree
in social work through the
advanced standing program
will now be able to do so
completely cost-free.
Tanks to a $1.2 million grant
from the Health Resources and
Services Administration, the
school of Social Welfare will
be able to get rid of student
loans for some, and improve
the M.S.W. program across its
diferent locations. Te grant
will be implemented for the
2015-2016 school year.
Tis program aims to
prepare students for social
work practice at clinical and
macro levels.
By the rules of the grant,
75 percent of the money has
to be for students, said Alice
Lieberman, professor of social
welfare and co-principal
investigator for the grant. Te
other 25 percent will be used
for development of additional
education modules through
value added experiences,
but also in trying to bring
these students from diferent
locations together.
Included in the program
are the Lawrence campus,
the Edwards Campus, Fort
Hays State University campus,
and the Garden City College
Campus. Te program extends
to Western Kansas because
of the lack social workers,
Lieberman said.
We want to concentrate
the education where its most
needed, Lieberman said.
People who go to school in
Western Kansas tend to stay, so
we hope that our program will
help the underserved area.
Kendal Carswell is the
Western Kansas M.S.W.
program coordinator. His
main job is maintaining
fdelity between the Lawrence
and Edwards campuses with
the Western Kansas program.
Tis money thats been
awarded to the program will
ofer a great amount of support
to individuals that might not
be able to pursue a higher
education, Carswell said.
Also, our program will be able
to better provide the services
we already ofer.
One of these services is
combining interpersonal
education with
interprofessional experience.
Social work students will be
able to work with employees
from other disciplines, like
psychiatry, nursing, physical
therapy and more though
the program will specifcally
collaborate with the KU
Medical Center.
For students like Chloe
Ireland, a senior from Lenexa,
and student at the Lawrence
campus, a program with
opportunities like these are
hard to pass up. However, she
knows how expensive it can be.
For the advanced placement
program for the Masters of
Social Work, it is a one-year
summer, fall, spring, year and
it costs around $15,000. Being
a social worker, you know that
you arent going to make a
decent amount of money, so
the thought of adding that to
loans is extremely daunting,
Ireland said. Te program
receiving the grant, that will
enable it to help fund students
for the program, will make it
possible for more students to
get their degree.
Ireland chose social work for
the same reason fellow social
work student Haley Koralek
did, to help people.
Everyone needs to reach
social justice. I cant stand
to watch people not reach
their full potential because of
some of the decisions theyve
made in their lives. Tey
dont deserve it and their kids
dont deserve it. I want to help
people better themselves,
Koralek said.
Koralek is a student at
Fort Hays State University
participating in the Western
Kansas program. Her
hometown, Ellsworth, is
just an hour away, which is
a big part of her decision on
attending Fort Hays.
Im glad I can get the same
experience as someone who
would study social work at a
much bigger school like KU,
without having to move away
from my family, Koralek said.
Koraleks stance is exactly
what Carswell aims for, as he
said the distance program is
precisely like the KU program,
just of-site.

What was the best
thing you did over fall
break?
October is the time to get to know your pharmacists
O
ctober is a
busy time at
the pharmacy
for both the staff and
its patients. Not only is
it the start of cold and
flu season, but its also
American Pharmacist
Month. The theme for
this year is Know Your
Pharmacists, Know Your
Medicine. Its purpose
is to recognize the role
pharmacists play in the
healthcare field.
Pharmacists are
the most accessible
healthcare providers.
According to the 2014
Merrit Hawkins analysis,
it takes an average of
18.5 days to wait to see
a physician. However,
it takes only minutes
to talk to a pharmacist.
When it comes to
providing information
on medication,
pharmacists are among
the best trained. We must
remember pharmacists
are experts at reducing
adverse drug interactions
to improve patient safety
and compliance.
The role of a
pharmacist ranges
far beyond standing
behind the counter.
They can administer
vaccinations for the flu,
pneumonia, shingles
and tetanus. They can
recommend appropriate
over-the-counter
medication, counsel you
on your medication, and
help monitor chronic
diseases by recognizing
vital signs. Pharmacists
want to interact with
patients, and the role
of the pharmacist keeps
expanding.
Student pharmacists
are a great resource on
campus; take advantage
of the flu clinic,
which allows student
pharmacists to practice
administering flu shots.
There are health clinics
throughout the year as
well where you can throw
away old medication
and talk about current
medication with
pharmacy students.
October is the time
to get vaccinated, stock
up your cabinets with
over-the-counter cold
and cough medication,
and show some love
and appreciation to
your pharmacist. As
always, your pharmacist
is available all year to
answer your health
related questions and
concerns.

student from Overland Park in

The Moose is Loose
by Jake Kaufmann
Police ofcers deserve our appreciation and support
I
f theres somethin
strange in your
neighborhood
who ya gonna call?
This is usually followed
up with shouts of
Ghostbusters, but in
reality, if something
strange happens in your
neighborhood, you are
most likely going to call
the police.
I recently had my
phone stolen and
accompanied an officer
to a set of apartments to
retrieve it. While in the
car, I asked him questions
about his job, and he
told me how incredibly
difficult it is to have a job
where no one is happy to
see you.
Common culture
today is to despise police
officers when they are
writing a speeding ticket
or interrupting a party,
but to still count on them
to provide safety and
assistance in the worst
situations.
The officer pointed
out that no matter how
much people seem to
hate law enforcement,
they always reach out in
times of need. To further
prove this point, I asked
him who drug dealers or
other criminals call when
they have been shot, to
which he replied with
the obvious answer: the
police.
It can be hard to
remember how much
good police officers
do when police abuse
stories frequently flood
the headlines. Thank A
Police Officer Day took
place Sept. 15, but was
met with wildly negative
reactions and pictures
of police wrongdoing on
social media sites. People
tend to forget, however,
that these tragic events
should not describe the
majority of policemen
and women who risk
their lives protecting our
cities.
If you missed Thank
a Police Officer Day,
registered voters can
redeem themselves
by voting yes on a
new police facility for
the Lawrence Police
Department. This
would impose a 0.2
percent sales tax on
Lawrence residents, with
a maximum amount
of $24.2 million for a
period of nine years.
FriendsofLawrencePolice.
com outlines some of
the benefits of having a
new facility as solving
more crime due to
increased information
sharing between patrol
and investigations, room
for additional personnel
required for increased
investigation of crimes,
and quicker access to and
response with life-saving
equipment.
Whether it is through
your vote or through
a shift in attitude, the
police deserve respect
and appreciation for their
difficult occupation. I left
that day not only with a
retrieved phone, but with
a new understanding of
how frustrating being
a police officer can be.
Facing danger is a job
requirement for these
men and women, but
disdain and negative
judgment come from
those they work hard
to protect. So although
you may have missed
the official day to show
gratitude, this upcoming
election is a wonderful
time to show your
appreciation for our men
and women in blue.

John Adair, a Lawrence artist
and photographer, has begun
work on a photo series called
Scars, a project that uses
photographs of people and
their scars as a window into
their lives and pasts.
Adair, a former Universi-
ty student who returned to
Lawrence in March, came up
with the idea as a way to tell
peoples stories and encourage
people to look past their phys-
ical imperfections. Te latter
was inspired in part by media
portrayals of what it looks like
to be beautiful.
Ive always had an appre-
ciation for the imperfections
that come with being a hu-
man being, Adair said. Te
idea behind the project is that
you should embrace your im-
perfections. Skin doesnt have
to be fawless and smooth to
be beautiful.
Since he began experiment-
ing with a camera he found in
his fathers belongings when
he was younger, Adair has
harbored a passion for pho-
tography that has grown in re-
cent years, with Scars being
his latest project.
Adair said he believes the
combination of photographs
of his subjects and their writ-
ten stories make the project
more impactful than either
component could by itself.
Stories are important,
Adair said. And every picture
tells a story. Regardless of how
big or small the scar is, the
story behind it is what pulls
people in.
In keeping with the spir-
it of the project, Adair does
minimal editing to each pho-
tograph in the series. Apart
from changing the photo-
graphs colors to black and
white and slightly increasing
the contrasts, Adair makes no
alterations to the photos.
Kyra Roesle, a third year
University student from
Shawnee and close friend of
Adair, has been photographed
for the project and likes how
the project gives new perspec-
tives on the people featured.
Teres always more to peo-
ple than what you see, said
Roesle, whose knuckles on
one hand show the scars of
a hit-and-run she survived
while riding her bike on Mas-
sachusetts Street. Youre peel-
ing away the layers of peoples
lives.
Preliminary photos from
Scars can be seen on the
Facebook page John Adair

Nearly two years ago, Jesse
McGinness and University
student William Friederich
sat down at Henrys Cofee
Shop in downtown Lawrence
and began writing the script
for a flm called God, grant
me. Tis Tursday, the flm
will hold its frst test screen-
ing at Liberty Hall, 644 Mas-
sachusetts St., at 7 p.m.
Friederich said the movie is
about how two troubled indi-
viduals meet and grow from
each others weaknesses.
Its a coming of age story,
but its one that really I think
fts our generation, McGin-
ness said.
With the premiere this week,
the duo is nervous and excited
to share their work with the
community.
Its terrifying throwing out
there something that youve
worked on for the better part
of two years
of your life
that you have
really come
to love, Frie-
derich said.
Afer the
two ini-
tially met
at Henrys
Cofee Shop
t h r o u g h
a mutual
friend, they
quickly be-
came friends through their
shared interests of writing and
flm. McGinness said he invit-
ed Friederich to help him with
the script, and from there the
project kicked of. Tey were
able to fund the project afer
around 60 donors, including
Henrys, backed the flm on
Kickstarter, providing the
necessary $4,500.
We hope were sort of a
lesson to flmmakers, all you
need to do is stand up and
do it, McGinness said. You
dont need a lot of resources.
With tools like Kickstarter,
and online education, I ha-
vent stepped foot into a flm
class, and weve fnished a fea-
ture length flm.
McGinness said they wanted
to challenge the traditional
ways of making a narrative
and they really wanted to add
nuance to it. Friederich said
although the flm is aimed at
sharing their message with all
generations, it was heavily in-
fuenced by their generation.
Tey said it has been about
21 months in the works, with
most of the work going toward
sound and
p o s t - p r o -
d u c t i o n ,
which the
two said was
the toughest
part. Frie-
derich said
they liked vi-
sual editing,
but editing
sound was a
pain.
We would
work 16 hour
days back to back to back to
back, McGinness said. It
defnitely got rough and was
draining.
Friederich said what kept
them going during those long
nights was the inspiration to
share the flm with the com-
munity.
It was sort of, well weve
done too much now to quit,
he said.
McGinness said they would
be happy if they could achieve
a theater run, but if they at
least achieve success in Law-
rence, they would be satisfed.
At the screening this week,
the two are welcoming feed-
back to help further improve
their flm. Friederich said
theyre going to have feed-
back cards and they will host
a short session aferwards to
discuss the flm.
Were really hoping to prog-
ress ourselves as flmmakers
and the more people we can
show it too, the more feed-
back we can get and the more
we can grow from it, Fried-
erich said.
Te duo said they drew a lot
of inspiration from Lawrence
and appreciate the generous
support they have received
with the project.
Were just really ready and
happy to share it with people,
McGinness said. Tis is the
thing youve [the community]
helped us with emotionally, f-
nancially and physically.
Along with the initial
screening at Liberty Hall, the
two hope the flm will be a
part of the 25 various flm
festivals around the country
they will be submitting to,
like Sundance and South by
Southwest. Te funds from
the Lawrence screening will
help pay for the entry fees.
Friederich said by partici-
pating in flm festivals, he and
McGinness can spread the
sense of community Lawrence
has on a larger scale.
Im super excited to share
about Lawrence how great
it is, this whole atmosphere of
togetherness and how were all
here to support one another,
Friederich said.

Outside of the classroom, it
is ofen hard to fnd an avenue
to engage in discussion over
relevant issues, but at KU Phi-
losophy Clubs weekly meet-
ings, University students have a
chance to do just that.
Jef Carmody, a senior from
Lawrence majoring in philos-
ophy and linguistics, became
president of the club this semes-
ter and said he embraces the
opportunity to discuss serious
issues in a relaxed and social
atmosphere.
You have classes with peo-
ple, and thats fne, Carmody
said. You get an idea of what
theyre like, but its nice to have
more of a social setting with
them, where you can talk freely,
bounce ideas of them, and go
wherever you want in the con-
versation.
Te Tuesday before Fall Break,
John Symons, Chair of the Phi-
losophy Department, held a
lecture on transhumanism and
posthumanism in Te Com-
mons as part of the Humanities
Lecture Series, and the follow-
ing day, he came in to discuss
that same topic at the clubs
weekly meeting.
[Te club members] share
common interests in philo-
sophical questions, Symons
said. Kids can learn a great
deal from extra-curriculum
discussion. Its very important.
It was really important for me
as student. I can tell that these
students are engaged.
Symons said students are sure
to see a beneft in their grades,
but that is just an ofshoot of
something even greater that
they get from coming to the
clubs meetings.
More importantly, its the
pleasure of discussion of ideas
with other smart people, Sy-
mons said. Tey can develop
an appreciation for people who
are talking about ideas that are
intellectually alive.
Te club reserves a room in
the Union on either Wednesday
or Friday evenings for an hour
of discussion.
Starting four years ago, mem-
bers have periodically held Fri-
day meetings at Henrys Cofee
Shop downtown, and plan to
continue that tradition this
semester. As the evening pro-
gresses, members who are old
enough take the discussion up-
stairs and have a drink at Hen-
rys Upstairs.
Drinking is always a great
lubricant for philosophical dis-
cussion, Carmody said.
Discussion is centered on
ideas that are not necessarily
taught in the classroom, such
as Eastern philosophy and
Continental philosophy, even
though Carmody stressed that
engagement with the philoso-
phy department is incredibly
important.
Carmody said there is ofen
a huge professional barrier be-
tween students and faculty in
class.
When youre in a class with
really brilliant professors, you
learn a lot, but you dont get to
just talk to them on a face-to-
face or informal level, Carmo-
dy said.
In Fall 2010, the Philosophy
Club was in a period of rela-
tive dormancy, but University
alumnus J.T. Hammons became
president and reactivated the
club. He laid the groundwork
for what it is today, paving the
the way for people like Carmo-
dy to continue the tradition of
a club that combines a relaxed
social setting and stimulating
discourse. Hammons said one
thing he always emphasized was
that the club should be open to
everyone, not just philosophy
majors.
My goal was to get the prac-
tice of philosophy to extend
outside of the hundred or so
people who were majoring in
philosophy at KU, Hammons
said. It was the infusion of phi-
losophy and just having a social
club.
Carmody said the club is more
about having a dialogue with
people who are interested in
the life of the mind or just intel-
lectual pursuits in general. Te
club is not limited to philosophy
majors, and in fact, about half of
the members have majors out-
side the feld of philosophy.
He said he is looking forward
to bringing other faculty mem-
bers in for the clubs weekly
meetings and is excited to con-
tinue contributing to the state of
intellectual discourse on cam-
pus.
I couldnt imagine doing any-
thing else, Carmody said.

One University student
is putting a positive spin
on getting caught drinking
underage. Shes decided to
make extra money by ofering
sober rides to other students.
Kaitlyn Gefroh, a sophomore
from Fargo, N.D., said she
decided to start giving sober
rides afer she got a minor in
possession of alcohol charge.
Since she is on diversion and
has to stay out of trouble for
the next year, shes turned her
experience into something
positive by working on the
other side of drinking.
Gefroh also works at the
Student Fitness Recreation
Center teaching ftness
classes, but she hopes to make
extra cash with the designated
driver gig.
Well, I cant go out and
drink anymore, and I
need money to pay for the
diversion, so Ill just give rides
to people that can go out and
drink, she said.
For $5 per passenger, she
will drive students in need
of a ride home anywhere in
Lawrence. She doesnt use a
GPS since she knows her way
around Lawrence pretty well,
and plans to rely on directions
from the impaired passengers.
She got the designated driver
idea from an app called Lyf,
which people can download
to connect them with drivers
in their area. Drivers must
apply for the position and
pass a background check to
be able to use the app service,
but Gefroh said she isnt old
enough to qualify, so she has
gone of on her own and has
marketed herself through
fiers on campus.
Im only 19, but I can drive,
she said.
Gefroh tossed the idea
around with her boyfriend,
Tyler Gonser, who is
supportive of it and agreed to
help her out if she needs it.
Shes really a responsible
person, said Gonser, a junior
from Tonganoxie. I really
dont have to worry about her
when shes driving around,
just helping people out.
Even though shell give
rides to both males and
females, Gefroh will play it
safe and said she plans to
take her boyfriend along if
the passengers are all males,
which her boyfriend thinks is
a good idea.
Even just a male presence
will deter a lot of stuf, he
said.
Gefroh just put up the fiers
in Wescoe Hall a few weeks
ago, so she hasnt had much
business yet, but she has
gotten a of couple calls, and
her service has gone well so
far. Te last time she checked
the fiers, the tear-of tabs with
her number were gone, so it
seems promising that shell be
getting calls in the future.
She drives a Chevy
Malibu, so shes limited to
four passengers, but at $5 a
passenger, the cash could add
up quickly if business picks
up.
Gefroh said shes not sure
how long shell keep up her
service, but shell keep doing
it until she gets tired of it. She
said she doesnt have plans to
expand her service or market
beyond putting posters up
around campus.

Te Kansas swimming
and diving team opened up
the regular season on the
road against the University
of Nebraska-Omaha at the
Freestyle Festival. Te meet
solely consisted of freestyle
individual events, diving
events and two relays.
[UNO head coach Todd
Samland] proposed the idea
of a freestyle festival, so all
of our individual events will
be freestyle events, Kansas
coach Clark Campbell said.
Well have the 50, 100, 200
and 500 as individual events.
Ten we will do the diving
events, followed by the 200
and 400 medley relay.
Also diferent for this meet
is that individual athletes can
only score in one event.
Tis will give a number
of athletes the opportunity
to swim freestyle events that
they might not normally get
to do, Campbell said. Its a
fun way to open the year and
its something weve never
done before.
Kansas defeated UNO 99-41
and won every event except
the 3-meter diving event.
Junior Chelsie Miller won
the 500-yard freestyle in
5:01.44.
Sophomore Yulduz
Kuchkarova won the 50-yard
freestyle event. She fnished
with a time of 24.77.
Freshman Hannah Driscoll
got frst place in the 100-yard

Nika Fellows, a freshman from Albequerque, N.M., swims during the 300-yard freestyle.
O
ne month ago a pretty valiant
war cry from Kansas City
rang out from fans as the boys
in blue battled for frst place against
the Detroit Tigers. Everyone was
getting excited that, for the frst time
in 29 years, the Royals were going to
the playofs.
Now, the Kansas City Royals are one
game away from making the World
Series.
When they clinched a playof berth
Sept. 26 against the White Sox, the
champagne fowed like the fountains
Kansas City is famous for. For the
frst time in nearly three decades, the
Royals were going to the playofs. So
why not celebrate like they just won
the whole thing?
Just be happy to be there had to be
the mentality of most analysts across
the baseball world. Afer Oakland took
a 7-3 lead during the Wild Card play-
of game, thats also what a majority of
fans were saying. Twitter was littered
with comments like, its over, Yost
just lost that one! and Good season.
No Blue October.
Tats when the magic happened.
Slowly, they climbed back into the
game. Run afer run they tied up the
game pushing it into extra innings. Fi-
nally, in the bottom of the 12th inning
an ice-cold Salvador Perez snuck a ball
past Oaklands third baseman and the
Royals snuck by the As.
Te rest is history. A clean
sweep of the Angels was a thing
of beauty. Te Royals looked
possessed as they dismantled
a powerful team that donned
the best record in the regular
season.
Afer a weekend in Bal-
timore, the Royals have
returned home with home
a 3-0 lead in the American
League Championship Series, one
game away from a World Series return
29 years in the making.
Te boys in blue are playing with a
confdence that is unbelievable. Te
Royals are playing the kind of baseball
a fan gets to see once in a lifetime.
Te kind
of baseball
stories are
written about
and movies are
made about.
Jarrod Dyson
said the series
wouldnt return to
Baltimore. Bal-
timore might be
putting that up on the
bulletin boards as moti-
vation. I would say that if its taking
the Royals fourth outfelder to moti-
vate them, rather than the 0-3 defcit,
the Orioles wont last much longer.

Royals move to 3-0
lead against Orioles
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas
City Royals have embraced the
bloop, bunt and sacrifice fly all
postseason.
Add in more sparkling defense
and that dominant bullpen,
and the wild-card Royals are
suddenly one win from the World
Series.
Billy Butler drove in the
go-ahead run with a sacrifice
fly in the sixth inning, and the
Royals' steel-curtain bullpen
shut down the Baltimore Orioles
the rest of the way for a 2-1 win
Tuesday night and a commanding
3-0 lead in the AL Championship
Series.
Third baseman Mike Moustakas
made two marvelous plays as
the picture-perfect Royals won
their 10th straight postseason
game, including all seven this
year. Making its first playoff
appearance in 29 years, the only
thing that's slowed Kansas City
so far was a rainout Monday.
Kansas City will send Jason
Vargas to the mound for Game 4
on Wednesday, trying to advance
to its first World Series since
1985. Miguel Gonzalez will try
to help the Orioles stave off
elimination.
The Royals' Jeremy Guthrie and
Orioles' Wei-Yin Chen hooked up
in a tense pitching duel for five
innings.
Chen gave up a leadoff single
to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric
Hosmer followed with a one-
out single to put runners on the
corners, and Orioles manager
Buck Showalter brought in hard-
throwing reliever Kevin Gausman
to face Butler.
The Royals' designated hitter
sent a fly ball to left field for the
tiebreaking run just the latest
example of Kansas City doing the
little things right.
One of the best bullpens in
baseball took care of the rest
the relievers combined with
Guthrie to retire Baltimore's final
16 batters.
After winning pitcher Jason
Frasor breezed through the
sixth, Kelvin Herrera and Wade
Davis nailed down the next two
innings. All-Star closer Greg
Holland worked a perfect ninth
for his third save of the series,
setting off a wild celebration in
the stands.
It was the 13th game to
be decided by one run this
postseason, matching the record
set in 2011 and tied last year.
Six games have gone to extra
innings, including the Giants'
5-4, 10-inning victory over the
Cardinals hours earlier in the
NLCS.

COMMENTARY
L
ate Night in the Phog
is one of Kansas bas-
ketballs most exciting
events. Like many before it,
Friday nights 30th install-
ment of Late Night includ-
ed a mens and a womens
scrimmage. The scrimmages
arent carbon copies of what
to expect during the regular
season, but they can be a
good preview into individ-
ual players performances.
Friday night, the focus was
on two players in particular
junior forward Perry Ellis
and senior forward Chelsea
Gardner.
Ellis and Gardner were the
only Kansas players named
to the preseason All-Big
12 team. They have similar
roles on their respective
teams this year as well. Ellis
and Gardner are two of the
older and more experienced
players on their rosters this
season. The mens side, in
particular, has a very young
team. With only one senior
on the team, Ellis will be
propelled into a leadership
role as a junior. Gardner is
one of four seniors on the
team, so she will have more
of a natural leadership role.
Perry is never going to
be a vocal leader, mens
basketball coach Bill Self
said. But on the court, hes
our guy.
It was clear right off the
opening tip that Ellis will be
the focal point in offense for
the upcoming season. When
teammate Cliff Alexander
won the tip, Ellis caught the
ball and immediately took it
to the rim. Ellis missed, but
his intentions were clear.
Ellis struggled converting,
going 2-for-6 from the floor,
but he will be more involved
during the season.
He ranked 16th in the
conference and second
on the team, scoring 13.5
points per game last season.
He also ranked second in
rebounds with 6.7 per game.
In the womens scrimmage,
the box score was a little
more expected. Gardner led
her team in scoring, with 10
points.
The senior comes into this
season with impressive cre-
dentials. She averaged 17.1
points and 8.4 rebounds last
season, which each ranked
as fourth-best in the Big 12.
During the scrimmage,
she went 5-for-8 from the
field and pulled down five
boards. She received most of
the attention down low and
was the most talented scorer
on the floor.
Another player who is
looking to assert himself
more is sophomore guard
Wayne Selden, who led all
players in scoring.
In the post-scrimmage
press conference, Selden
was asked about his big
scoring night, putting up 17.
I felt good out there,
Selden said. But I wasnt
on Perrys team. During the
regular season, hes obvious-
ly going to be our go to guy.

Afer notching its frst
conference win of the season
last Saturday at Baylor, the
Kansas volleyball team (13-5,
1-3) will look to continue its
momentum as it takes on
West Virginia (12-7, 2-3)
in Morgantown, W.Va., on
Wednesday evening.
Te Jayhawks, currently
ranked eighth in the
conference, defeated the
Baylor Bears in four sets
over the weekend to climb
their way out of the Big 12
cellar. Junior outside hitter
Tiana Dockery led the way
with a season-high 19 kills
on a .255 hitting percentage.
It was the third consecutive
game with double-digit kills
for the junior, who has begun
to come on as of late.
As weve found out,
anybody in this league can
beat anybody at any point
in time, but its the way that
we did it with a really gutty
efort in set three and then a
big run to end set four that is
really satisfying, coach Ray
Bechard said afer the match.
Its what we needed.
With one win in the
bag, Kansas has a great
opportunity to secure back-
to-back victories on its
trip to Morgantown. Afer
beginning the season 10-1,
the Mountaineers have fallen
apart as their competition
has stifened. Teyve now
dropped six of their last eight
contests and were swept in
the ACC-Big 12 Challenge
earlier this season.
West Virginia is led by
sophomore outside hitter
Jordan Anderson and
freshman setter Lamprini
Konstantinidou.
Anderson, a Big 12
All-Freshman team selection
in 2013, is the centerpiece of
the Mountaineers ofensive
attack as she currently leads
the league in kills (4.85 per
set) and points (5.34 per set).
Konstantinidou, from
Tessaloniki, Greece,
has been among the best
newcomers in the conference
this season, currently sitting
atop the Big 12 in assists
(11.19 per set) and landing
eighth in service aces (0.31
per set).
For the Jayhawks, freshman
setter Ainise Havili and
senior outside hitter Sara
McClinton will look to build
on strong performances
from last Saturdays match.
Havili, who was named the
Big 12 Rookie of the Week
for the week of Oct. 6, picked
up her ninth double-double
of the year (third in the Big
12) against the Bears. Shes
been crucial in setting up
kill opportunities for Kansas
middle and outside hitters
this year, ranking second
in the conference in assists
(11.18 per set).
McClinton, a 2013
Honorable Mention All-
America selection, has
been quiet for much of the
season; shes not among
the conferences top 10
in any major statistical
category, and her .172 hitting
percentage is well below her
career average. But she had
a stellar showing against
Baylor, recording 16 kills
while fnishing with a .371
hitting percentage. Both are
her second-highest marks of
the season.
If she can consistently
manage this kind of attack
efciency, a resurgence from
McClinton could be a major
boost for this Kansas squad
as it dives deeper into Big 12
play.
Te match begins at
5:30 p.m. CST at the
WVU Coliseum and can
be live-streamed through

Kansas volleyball looks to build on
rst Big 12 win against West Virginia
Big plays can change the
momentum of the game. In
college football, momentum
is the ofen the diference
between winning close games
and losing them.
Senior Kansas receiver Tony
Pierson has the ability to
do just that. Fans have seen
that already this year. In the
season opener, sophomore
quarterback Montell Cozart
connected with Pierson for
a 67-yard completion that
turned out to be the deciding
play of the game.
On the opening play from
scrimmage against Central
Michigan, Pierson took a
handof out of the backfeld
and sprinted 74 yards down
the opposing sideline,
untouched, for a score. It was
the longest play of his Kansas
career, and the Jayhawks
wound up winning that game,
24-10.
Both of his touchdowns
mark the longest scoring plays
from the Kansas ofense this
season.
Hes arguably the most
explosive player we have on
the feld, interim coach Clint
Bowen said. Hes one of those
guys that has a chance at
making a special play for us.
But what has been the
biggest threat to Piersons big-
play ability this year is Kansas
ofense itself.
In the 41-3 loss against
Duke, Pierson touched the
ball twice. In the 24-0 loss
against Texas in Charlie Weis
fnal game at Kansas, Pierson
had four plays called for him.
Even Bowen struggled to
get Pierson involved in his
head-coaching debut against
West Virginia, where he had
three touches for a combined
eight yards.
Hes one of our better
players on the team, so
having him get his touches
is important, senior
quarterback Michael
Cummings said. Having his
big-play ability on the edge
respected creates lanes up the
middle.
Bowen made more of a
concerted efort to get his
best ofensive player involved
in his second game as
interim head coach. In the
near upset against No. 16
Oklahoma State, Pierson had
a season-high 12 touches.
Tough none of those touches
resulted in scores, it was
enough for the Cowboys to
respect the Kansas ofense.
But perhaps the most
intriguing thing about
Piersons performance was the
fact that a majority of it came
as running back. He carried
the ball 10 times Saturday and
split backfeld time all day
with running backs DeAndre
Mann and Corey Avery.
As Kansas prepares for
a crucial matchup against
Texas Tech, Bowen appears to
have the same mindset get
Pierson the ball at all costs.
Because of this, Pierson will
once again see a lot of plays
from the backfeld.
Putting him at tailback a
little more guarantees that
they cant keep us from
turning around and handing
it of to him, Bowen said.
Pierson is no stranger
to running back. As a
sophomore he was selected
to All-Big 12 Honorable
Mention afer starting nine
games at running back. He
rushed for 760 yards on 117
carries and four touchdowns.
He recorded three 100-yard
performances on the ground.
Running back is just like
home to me, Pierson said. At
receiver you have to depend
on quarterback and the
ofensive line to get the ball; at
running back it is much easier
to just get handofs.
Out of East St. Louis High
School, he was ranked as
the nations No. 8 athlete
according to Rivals.com. He
rushed for more than 1,000
yards in each of his four
years and scored a total of 76
touchdowns.
Under Weis, Pierson was
used mostly as a receiver.
Much of that was due to the
lack of production from that
position as well as having
a guy like James Sims at
running back.
With Bowen calling the
shots, Piersons role has begun
to change.
At that time, the philosophy
was that he was more valuable
on the outside, Bowen said. I
just saw it diferently.
Afer outperforming the
No. 16 Cowboys in terms
of totals yards (379-274)
Saturday, perhaps change is
for the best.
