Bold Aspirations. Thats what the Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle calls the new six-part strategic message, which aims to spur excellence at the University. The plan contains several aspects that will directly affect future students. One part of the plan includes cutting course requirements for undergraduates. We wanted to streamline the number of general education re qu i re m e nt s so that students have more flexibility, GrayLittle said after unveiling Vitter the plan on Wednesday. The Chancellor said it has been more than 20 years since the University has revised its undergraduate requirements. It would make taking a double major, for example, much easier, Gray-Little said. Specific details about the strategys initiatives had not been released as of Wednesday. Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, said the public can expect to see the full plan within the next few days. Provost and executive vice chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said the curriculum cut will help students take advantage of opportunities like study abroad, research and service learning. He said an immediate effect students will see is a significant improvement to advising. Students will seamlessly move from their initial year or two into their major and then on to graduation, Vitter said. Gray-Little said students can

expect the changes in core requirements to take effect in 2013. The plan also highlights an increase in the Universitys community involvement. Gray-Little said the school should not only provide services to the community through research but also through more specific and concrete interactions. We want to make sure there is a connection between what is being learned in class and what is being done in the community so that experience informs classroom work, and classroom work informs experience, Gray-Little said. Student Body President Libby Johnson is optimistic about where the University is headed and the improvements students will see. Theres a lot of room here for a lot of good changes, Johnson said.

Keeping campus clean and green

MarsHall sCHMidt mschmidt@kansan.com
At least once a week, the University of Kansass Environmental Stewardship Program picks up recyclables from every building on campus, which amounts to nearly 1,000 bins. The 24 students employed by the program collect, sort, and bail the materials. This results in 42,000 pounds of recyclables sent out every two weeks. That is nearly one and a half pounds of material per student. The program has been managing recycling and redistributing furniture on campus as part of the greater campus sustainability initiative, outlined by Chancellor Gray-Little last fall. The program was started because we were putting so much stuff into the waste stream, said Aileen Dingus, program coordinator. When you think about it, we send out 20 tons that can be reused instead of just taking up space in a hole in the ground. Erik Crawford, a senior from Wichita, has worked as a recycling technician for the past two years. His duties include on-campus collecting from every building and sorting the material in the Facilities and Operations warehouses on West Campus. Its rewarding in the sense that you go home at the end of the day with the sense youve done a small part in making your community a better place, Crawford said. However, some students are not aware of the program, resulting in many recyclables being thrown away. A recent waste audit on Jayhawk Boulevard found as much recycling material in trash bins as there was in recycling bins. A problem is that students dont know were here and dont know all the services we provide, Crawford said. The bulk of the recyclables that the program receives and redistributes consists of paper products, but it also collects cardboard, aluminum and steel cans, plastics, printer cartridges, steel, furniture

Assistant treasurer suddenly resigns

Jessie BlakeBorouGH jblakeborough@kansan.com
To the surprise of senators, student body assistant treasurer Courtney Sheldon resigned her elected position at the first full-senate meeting of the academic year. Sheldon notified Student Executive officers of her resignation decision Sept. 13. When addressing full senate, Sheldon cited reasons of time management and previous commitments. I realize that I cannot devote the time my position deserves and while it has not been an easy decision, I think that it will be best for both myself and Senate in the long run, Sheldon said. Student body president Libby Johnson says that resignations at this time are highly irregular for positions of such magnitude. The treasurer and assistant treasurer positions are unique in that these staff members have to handle a $20 million budget for what is essentially a 30,000 person organization, Johnson said. Treasurer David Cohen, who worked closest with Sheldon throughout the summer months in student executive training sessions, and essentially serves as a mentor to the assistant treasurer position, expressed his frustration with the sudden loss of a great resource and asked for support in the upcoming months. Yes, its a really shitty situation we find ourselves in, but please have patience with my office as we make up for lost time as we train another assistant, Cohen said. The assistant treasurer position is a two year time commitment and an up to 23 hour week work schedule. Typically the assistant treasurer moves into the treasurer position because it takes a while to build up the necessary skills and knowledge the position requires, Johnson said. In an effort to fill the position as soon as possible, Cohen announced that the job application will be posted on the jobs.ku.edu website until 2 p.m. Sept. 16. Candidates will be interviewed Saturday and Sunday. Cohen says his goal is to fill the position by Sunday night. Because of special circumstances the appointment will go into effect before approval by full senate. Fortunately its only September so we have time to adapt and react, Johnson said. Everyone is taking it all in stride, which is part of what makes them such a great staff. Edited by Alexandra Esposito

A small, flat fiberglass raft was all 10 oil workers had to escape the leveling winds and towering waves of Tropical Storm Nate as it pounded their disabled rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Three workers for Houston-based Geokinetics, Inc., three contractors and four Americans who made up the liftboat crew took to the rough seas in a flat, rectangular raft with an inflated perimeter, some tethered and half-submerged, grabbing onto side handles because all 10 wouldnt fit on board. Rescue crews found the raft on Sunday still carrying four men. Three more survivors were found bobbing in life jackets less than a mile (a kilometer) away after being separated from the raft the day before.

An Angolan air force plane crashed as it took off from a central base Wednesday, killing 30 people including three generals, state media reported. Six people survived the fiery crash in Huambo province, and investigators were still trying to determine the cause. The names of the dead and further details about the incident were not immediately available. Poverty, war, extreme weather and corruption have long plagued air safety in many African countries. Angola, a southwest African country, has a poor record in air safety, largely due to poor maintenance. The oil- and diamond-rich country is still recovering from a two-decade civil war that ended in 2002.

A Chinese dissident writer who spent five years in jail said Wednesday he was wrongly imprisoned and subjected to ill-treatment beyond peoples imagination. I am innocent, said Yang. Its a political case and I was called a political prisoner in the places where I was detained. All of this is political persecution of me because I promoted democracy. Arrested in September 2006 and sentenced in November 2007, Yang was released from prison Tuesday. Chinas Communist leadership doesnt tolerate any perceived challenge to one-party rule. Critics are often jailed on vague charges of subversion and endangering state security or, sometimes, for alleged economic crimes.

An Australian senator came under fire Wednesday for using his special immunity from prosecution to name a Roman Catholic priest accused of raping a fellow priest more than 40 years ago. Nick Xenophon, an independent senator, had presented the church with an ultimatum: remove the priest from his duties or his name would be made public within 24 hours. On Tuesday night, Xenophon made good on his threat and told the Senate the priests identity and said he was being investigated by the church over an alleged rape in the 1960s. Xenophon cannot be sued for anything he says in the Senate and the Australian media cannot be held liable for reporting any false accusation that he might make.

group uses graphic images to spread abortion awareness
Justice for All, a group that seeks to raise awareness about abortion, continued its display of graphic images on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint hall Wednesday. Being able to talk to students is much easier when they have seen what abortion actually is. Its no longer out of sight, out of mind, said Rebecca Haschke, an intern with Justice for All. And it actually creates a lot of dialogue on a college campus. Freedom of speech boards and booths asking for student thoughts were also by Stauffer-Flint and Wescoe to encourage discussion. Though the display might provoke discussion, Sheila Sadeghi, a senior from Boston, said she wasnt sure it would cause her to change her beliefs about abortion. I know how I feel, they know how they feel, I really dont think it is a way to change minds or bring people together, Sadeghi said. The fact that its a highly controversial issue, it completely segments this entire campus into people who care, people who are for, people who are against, people who just do not care whatsoever. The display lasted until 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Julianna Tidwell

HEALTH
allergy season will be worse because of high pollen counts
Some new numbers may keep you sneezing and sniffling this fall. According to a study done by the National Academy of Sciences, students should expect worse allergies than usual. The study said people will be exposed to allergens for a longer period this season. In Lawrence Tuesday, the pollen count went up to 9 on a scale of 0 to 12 with 12 being the highest. Melody Volek, a nurse at Watkins Health Center, said students can take some precautions to fight off allergies. Once the warm weather stays and things continue to flower and the pollen continues to release, wind blows it around, the people with seasonal allergies are going to have problems, Volek said. Keeping your doors and windows shut and your air conditioning on is your best protection. However, campus may see a drop in the pollen count soon. According to Pollen.com, Lawrences pollen count will drop back down to a medium 7.1 by Friday. Students can call the new Watkins Nurse Helpline at (785) 864-9583 for 24-hour help. Breanna Mccarthy

A Hot Dog Man statue that suddenly appeared in one Iowa town has mystified police. The Daily Nonpareil in Council Bluffs reported that a concerned citizen called police last week to report a man in a hot dog costume near a bus stop. When officers arrived, they found the man was actually a 6-foot-tall statue. The statue has been spotted elsewhere in the city, but police Capt. Terry LeMaster says no one knows anything about it. It is being stored at the police department until someone claims it. Associated Press

is making sure students are involved in making decisions, because students know whats best for students. Johnson said that currently the strategic plan is broad, and as committees begin to narrow their goals, it is important that they consider all the consequences of their decisions. She also said the Universitys recently implemented four-year renewable scholarships are a part of the overall strategy. Another goal of the strategy is to broaden research through interdisciplinary studies. Perry Alexander, professor of computer sciences and electrical engineering and co-chairman of the fourth iniatitive, used green energy to explain interdisciplinary research. Its not just about producing energy. Its about changes in peoples social behavior, Alexander said. Its about a whole host of different kinds of things. Leonard Krishtalka, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the future of solving many of the worlds issues lies in interdisciplinary research and communication. Krishtalka is also co-chairman of the initiative. He says that integration across different research will particularly benefit students through heightened communication across disciplines and with faculty. Students are the innovators of the future, and they force the faculty to think broader, Krishtalka said. As much as we can involve students in this, the more innovative well be.

But ultimately, students themselves have to decide to recycle their waste instead of just throwing it away. I feel its ethically better to do something that doesnt require a lot of effort than be lazy, said David Austin, a law student from Tuella, Ga. Students knowing what is and is not recyclable helps the programs sorting effort, which can get rather dirty at times, according to Crawford. The drawbacks are having to deal with incredibly, unimaginably disgusting things, Crawford said. He said he has encountered unrecyclable items such as human fluids, used condoms and tampons, chewing tobacco and rotten food. Crawford would like to see fellow students be more cognizant of the recycling bins on campus. Blue bins are usually located inside buildings on campus. People who live off-campus can drop off their recycling at the west parking lot at Park and Ride on 23rd Street and Crestline Drive. Usually, youre within walking distance of a recycling bin, Crawford said. Its important to show the University is doing its part to further the community and the world. Edited by Jennifer DiDonato

and other items. Biweekly, more than 1,200 plastic bottles are crushed into a block and sent to a reprocessing plant in Topeka. At the end of each semester, the program crushes 100,000 cans into a 3,000-pound bale of aluminum. The surplus side of the program works to collect and distribute unused furniture, often left behind by moving professors. If we cant find a place for it on campus, we donate it off campus to non profit organizations, Dingus said. If you stacked the 12,000 redistributed items like desks, tables, chairs, file cabinets, onto a basketball court, it would pile three stories deep. The program gives campus sustainability a more noticeable presence on campus. Recycling and surplus is a very visible way to see the University doing something for sustainability, Dingus said. Student Senate is a major source of funding for the program. I like working with students, Dingus said. I think its neat that the student body as a whole cares enough to pay for it.

Fashion show adds designs by students

kcipolla@kansan.com KU Fashion Week will host a fashion show at the Granada tonight, showcasing looks for men and women from Lawrence boutiques and retailers on Massachusetts Street. Weavers, Britches, Fortuity, and Acme as well as clothing designed by last years KU Project Runway winner, Zeke Westerman, and finalist Ashley Estrada, will all be present. For Estrada, a junior from Topeka, showcasing her design, a strapless navy dress with a sweetheart neckline based on one she saw Taylor Swift wearing, will be the next step in her fashion career. I taught myself how to sew in seventh grade and ever since then its just kind of evolved into me making actual outfits, Estrada said. Involving local designers was the goal of the shows producer, Camilo Ernesto, who created the website by the same name that aims to bring together local fashion aficionados. Ernesto said kufashionweek.com is an online initiative to highlight style and fashion in Lawrence and on campus. My goal was to reach out to people that are aspiring models, but also the general public and people that just enjoy styling and fashion, so its really an opportunity for everyone to participate, Ernesto said. Porschae Oglesby, a freshman from Topeka, said she got involved in the show to jump start her modeling career. Modeling has always been a passion of mine. Oglesby said. I just never knew how to get started. Even though it is her first time modeling, she has no apprehensions about walking down the

KU Med expands programs

cLAIRE mcLNERNY
cmclnerny@kansan.com among the campuses, and the reading materials and preparation are presented to all the students, Cathcart-Rake said. The basic learning objectives will stay the same. Stephanie Shields, a first year medical student at the Wichita campus, said the video conference system for lectures doesnt feel very different from being in the classroom with the professor. Another incentive that promotes the practice of rural medicine is the Kansas Medical Student loan. This state-funded program pays for a medical students tuition and provides a stipend for living if he or she promises to return to Kansas and practice in an under-served area. This year, five of the eight Salina students took advantage of this loan. Although this is the first time the Wichita campus offers a full medical school program, it has offered clinical training for third and fourth year students for the last 35 years. Expanding to a four-year program was logical, said H. David Wilson, dean of KU School of Medicine-Wichita. This is the ideal place to expand the medical school since were more centrally located in the state of Kansas, Wilson said. We have a lot of outreach to rural Kansas through the Wichita medical community. Wilson is working on a new curriculum called patient-centered learning for his campus that will provide students with more hands on experience in the coming years. Starting their first year, medical students will work with actual patients to apply the theories they learn about in the classroom. Cathcart-Rake said the education and opportunities offered in both Wichita and Salina prepare medical students for wherever they end up practicing. Our major focus obviously is training excellent physicians, Cathcart-Rake. But our secondary mission is encouraging those trainees to look at practicing in rural areas. Edited by Mike Lavieri

WICHITA Students studying medicine now have the option to study in Wichita, Salina or Kansas City, Kan., for four years. The KU School of MedicineWichita expanded from a two-year clinical program to a full four-year medical program, and the new Salina campus started classes this semester. Previously, students would study their first two years in Kansas City, Kan., and then had the option to transfer to Wichita for hands-on training during their final two years. Now students can study their first two years in Wichita or Salina. The addition of the new programs is an effort by the medical school to promote rural medicine in Kansas. This endeavor is recognized nationally as a proactive way to bring full-time physicians to small communities. By allowing students to study medicine in rural areas, medical students see the need for doctors outside big cities. Although the Salina and Wichita campuses have only eight students each in their programs this year, Dr. Cathcart-Rake, director of the Salina campus, said the education is not subpar. Lectures are given at the Kansas City, Kan., campus and transmitted to Salina and Wichita via video conferencing. Students watching the lecture on TV can interact with the professors.

women, minorities directing few shows

Further evidence has emerged that hollywood has made little progress in hiring women and minorities to work on prime-time television shows. a survey conducted by the directors Guild of america of more than 2,600 television episodes from 170 scripted TV series for the 2010-11 season found that white males directed 77 percent of all episodes, and white females directed 11 percent of all episodes. Minority males directed 11 percent all episodes and minority females directed just 1 percent of the shows, according to the survey of programs from the major broadcast and cable networks. The directors guild, which over the years has prodded production companies to establish diversity programs and improve hiring practices, expressed disappointment with the findings, noting that the results show little change from a similar survey in the 2009-2010 television season. The guild singled out nine shows that hired no women or minority directors for the 2010-2011 season, including hBos Bored to death, showtimes weeds and Fxs Justified. sixteen other shows hired women and minorities for fewer than 15 percent of episodes. Those include Foxs house (produced by NBC) and lifetimes army wives (produced by aBC). Its not enough to just give lip service to the idea of increasing diversity behind the camera, said Paris Barclay, the dGas first vice president and co-chair of its diversity task force. These programs are so far failing to live up to their promise.

so were going to take the discussion straight to the people on each show who make hiring decisions, added Barclay, an executive producer for the Fx show sons of anarchy. The dGa negotiated a new provision in its most recent contracts, which took effect July 1, that allows union officials to meet directly with executives responsible for hiring at the individual show level. we are encouraging shows, production companies and networks, when they weigh in, to offer opportunities to up-and-coming directors from all backgrounds, said lesli linka Glatter, co-chair of the dGa diversity task force and co-executive producer of The Playboy Club. The dGas findings echo those of other recent surveys, including a recent report from the Center for the study of women in Television and Film at san diego state university. The report found during the 2010 season women composed 15 percent of writers for prime-time dramas, comedies and reality shows on the broadcast networks, down 29 percent from the 2009-2010 season.

Of all the personalities to turn up at this years Toronto International Film Festival, none seemed more outsized, and yet oddly appropriate, than Madonna. The singer and actress is looking to make her mark on the directing world. And Toronto, host to 300 films and a dizzying array of international celebrities, seems the perfect venue for one of the most famous women in the world to take up a new career. So into town she rode with W.E., a time-jumping historical romance that made its North American premiere at the festival, ahead of its opening for general U.S. audiences on Dec. 9. Sitting primly (in fishnet stockings) in a hotel suite high above Toronto earlier this week, the 53-year-old made no secret of her latest ambition. I want to be taken seriously as a filmmaker, she said. I directed Filth & Wisdom to teach myself about filmmaking,

she added, alluding to her lightly regarded immigrant tale of music and cross-dressing that was released in 2008. And now, with this self-punishing process of being a producer and a writer and a director, Im taking the next step. W.E cross-cuts the 1998 story of Wally (Abbie Cornish), an unhappily married young woman in New York who becomes increasingly obsessed with early-20th century Baltimore socialite Wallis Simpson. A playful firecracker, Simpson fell in love with and ultimately married the Duke of Windsor, a king-in-waiting, in a scandal that rocked England and caused the Duke to abdicate the throne (Eve Best played Wallis in The Kings Speech, Guy Pearce, the duke). In a series of flashbacks and shared-screen fantasy moments with Wally, Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) reveals that any happiness she felt with the duke was gilded at best. The pressure for their relationship to essentially

take the place of the monarchy proved, in the end, too much for Simpson to bear. Madonna said she didnt set out to make a pessimistic film, but that her own once-starry attitude toward romance has dimmed over the years. When we were young, my sister and I would sit around and say we wanted to marry a cowboy poet. That was the ideal, she said. And as soon as you have an ideal, the universe conspires to humiliate you. Like you might get that cowboy poet, but theyre a raving lunatic. The films central theme, however, is arguably not love but fame. Specifically, its the gap between Wallis Simpson as perceived by the outside world and Wallis Simpson as her life was really lived the illicit Buckingham Palace romance, in other words, as TMZ indictment.

Did FFa change its number?! Editors note: About three weeks ago. That awkward moment when you realize you are in line for food behind the professor whose class you just skipped. See what kind of tragedies cold weather causes? There is not a single sundress on campus today. Dear normal looking guy with the extremely hot girl, you give me hope. Last night my roommate farted and talked in her sleep. It was an eventful night. Its officially yoga pants season. Words cannot describe how happy I am. The prego students on campus probably dont appreciate seeing the unborn fetuses all over campus. Let me reiterate what we learned last fall for freshmen and others who obviously never got the memo: Leggings are NOT pants. My grandparents have stored boxes and boxes of freeze-dried astronaut food and numerous fire arms and knives in their house for when Jesus comes. Dear idiot, sarcasm amongst your friends is funny. To your professor, douche move. Sincerely, annoyed. That awkward moment when you realized all of your Free For alls you sent in werent actually to Free For all ... whoops. Editors note: You were right today. Wow, angel, you are a lifesaver! Glad HQCC recognizes that too. Is it sad that I flirt with the fat chick at arbys to get free curly fries? Does anyone else think Strong Hall looks like it has fists? rain, rain, go away. Thats what all my haters say. I wonder if anybody ever texts anyone wanna hook up tonight? 12:13, how bout you?

It was 10 years ago, after the 2000 Census data was released, when a Republican-influenced Kansas Legislature decided that Douglas County, easily one of the most Democratic counties in Kansas, would be divided into two congressional districts. Democrats claim that the division was done to decrease the number of democratic voters in the once-whole third district. Disregarding the politics involved in this decision, its obvious Lawrence should fall under one district, and I hope that decision will be reached. Its that time of the decade where the state legislature must outline new district boundaries for itself, the state board of education and Congress. This time around, there is an even stronger GOP presence in the redistricting process that may decide to keep Lawrence divided. Another big problem is that the state injudiciously neglects Kansas students by not counting them in the redistricting of the state. Kansas is the only state in the country that recalculates like this, Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan said, and the legislature is the only body in the state that uses the data to redistrict. So it has every appearance of a rule used to diminish the voice of certain communities. Gaughan also said he believes the current district standing to be unfair to Lawrence and Douglas County, as well as Manhattan, Hays, Emporia and Pittsburg, and that its time for the Kansas Legislature to use the census for redistricting, like every other elected body in Kansas and every other state. It begs the questions: Will the districts rightfully be consolidated as one or get sliced another way? And will the legislature rightfully consider the student population in the redistricting process? At the legislatures special committee on redistrictings public hearing on Sept. 2 at the University, both democrats and republicans alike agreed that it made more sense to combine the split districts in Douglas County. Currently, the western portion of the county is in the second house district and the

) (785 289 1 835

Students should be counted in redistricting

eastern portion is in the third district. These lines are consistently revised to account for changes in the population so that all elected officials represent a comparable number of people. Students are an integral part of the Lawrence community and no matter what, as residents, we still benefit from city services regardless of our hometowns. Also, legislators tend to forget that many students register to vote for the first time in Lawrence. So, we matter. Paul Davis, the house minority leader, couldnt agree more. As citizens of the community, [students] have access to all of our public services, he said. Local state legislators are also here to serve them. It just makes sense to count them here. The committee will have several more public hearings before the legislature reaches its decision in the 2012 session that begins in January. Students should contact legislators from across the state and ask for their support on giving communities populated with students a fair representation in the legislature. Students in the Board of Regents universities and colleges are members of Kansas education. Denying them representation by ignoring them or diminishing their vote by splitting it is a denial of their basic rights. Stefanie Penn for the Kansan Editorial Board

Get involved the right way

By Bert Brogden
editor@kansan.com

For a lot of college students, especially incoming freshmen, getting involved is the name of the game. At a very early stage of the collegiate career, often before a student has ever set foot on campus, their parents, friends, and counselors are persistent about the importance of extra-curricular clubs and activities. Surely, they are justified to an extent four years spent meeting people and having real-world experiences are more constructive to a graduating senior, both personally and professionally, than four years spent immersed in pensive introversion or online role-playing games. However, for a generation as overachieving and self-stressing as ours, getting involved can quickly escape from the realm of fun and networking and become a tiresome chore. As soon as students begin the orientation process, they are exposed to a myriad of clubs, organizations, sports and interest groups in which they can participate during their time at the University of Kansas. The error occurs when students, overly eager to meet new people because of their excessive fear of loneli-

ness, decide to get involved in any and every way that they can. It is absolutely not unheard of for new students to juggle a combination of classes, three or four student organizations, a fraternity or sorority and an intramural sporting team all in their first semester. While there may be the occasional super-human student who can handle such a workload, the majority of new students are going to find it hard to balance their time equally, while leaving ample space for both leisure and study. You might think that youre doing it right because your schedule is full from the early morning class to the late-night party, but really youre just tired and probably sweaty, irritable, and stressed. It is impossible to fully commit to any worthy cause or organization when you are attempting to divide your time evenly over a multitude of other commitments. During an address to a handful of freshmen students at a Hawk Week seminar, Neely Bendapudi, dean of the School of Business, stressed the importance of time prioritization. Select one or two extra-curricular activities in which you really want to be involved, Bendapudi said. Try new things, but dont spread yourself too thin. The logic behind Bendapudis

assertion is wholly legitimate. Instead of doing anything and everything you see on flyers around the Union, find one or two organizations that really mean something to you organizations in which you feel as though your time is spent constructively. When students spend more time in fewer organizations as opposed to less time in several organizations, they are more likely to build meaningful relationships and seek advancement and leadership opportunities within those organizations. Ultimately, the journey will be different depending on the student. There will be those who obsess on maximizing participation, and these students will have to limit themselves and decide what really matters. There will be those who will have to force themselves out of their rooms to so much as see another student in the commons. Whatever path you take, learn a lot, meet new people and. most importantly, have fun. Just make sure, as is advisable with all things, you proceed with moderation. Brogden is a freshman in Business Administration from Olathe.

Game day produces fashion touchdowns

tweet photos of your most fashionable outfits to @udK_fashion to be featured in our weekly column.
The football team may have won its game Saturday, but these two girls were the clear winners when it comes to fashionable outfits at the tailgates. Kelsey Whitaker, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., was spotted sporting the latest fashion trend while enjoying a tailgate with friends and family Sept. 9. It was a beautiful day, perfect for celebrating a football victory, and Whitaker was comfortable yet chic in her preppy game day attire. Whitaker is shown here wearing a casual white tank top with a retro navy blue polka dot skirt. Polka dots are a fashion must this season because they always attract attention, which helps Whitaker stand out in a crowd of Jayhawk fans. She complements her spot-on outfit with the perfect touch of crimson by using a red side satchel bag. This fashionable yet functional purse is the essential tailgate bag since Whitaker can cheer on her Jayhawks without having to carry a purse in her hand. Fashion is all about expressing yourself, and if you are feeling brave, try a polka dot blousestyle dress from Need Supply Co. ($78). Pair it with a red patent leather belt from Express ($24.90) and you are ready to cheer on the Jayhawks in style. Since fall is approaching, pair this outfit with your favorite cowboy boots, which make it easy to hop from tailgate to tailgate.

Another fashion victory on Saturday was with Morgan Gramlings wild combination of animal print and colored jeans, two of falls top trends. Gramling, a junior from Fayetteville, Ark., wore a sleeveless leopard print blouse with skinny red jeans. An unexpected combination of two of falls most-wanted pieces makes this outfit something to go wild about. Morgans American flag bangle added the perfect amount of patriotism in remembrance of 9/11 to her game day outfit. Her stick-on Jayhawk tattoo was the finishing touch to a winning outfit. Unleash your inner animal with a leopard print top from ASOS ($21.95) which pairs nicely with bright red skinny jeans from Forever 21($24.90). Dont forget your stick-on Jayhawk tattoo, which is available at the Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St. Game-day fashion is all about incorporating the vibrant KU colors, so have fun mixing and matching blue and red, and possibly even animal print, but most importantly, enjoy yourself as you cheer on the Jayhawks.

Beshears gains ground, pushes past struggles

mIKE VERNON
mrvernon@kansan.com To say that junior receiver D.J. Beshears needed a short memory in Saturdays victory over Northern Illinois would be an understatement. In fact, it would be an understatement to say Beshears has needed a short memory in his entire career at Kansas. Beshears got off to a slow start against Northern Illinois, dropping a pass early on in the Jayhawks second possession. On the following Kansas drive, he then committed a holding penalty on a fourth and one play that could have turned into a 41-yard touchdown run. Taking advice that the coaching staff had been preaching all summer, Beshears didnt let his downfalls snowball into continued sub-par play. I just had to move onto the next play and step it up for my team, Beshears said. And he did. Beshears responded by catching five passes after the holding penalty and coming up with late-game heroics on the Jayhawks final drive. He returned the kickoff 51 yards, which helped him to earn Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, and had an 18-yard run on an end-around. His biggest contribution came on the final play for Kansas when he caught the game-winning pass on a do-or-die fourth-down play. Instead of letting his early mistakes affect his play, Beshears turned his game around, finishing with seven receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Just as Beshears could have given up last Saturday, he could have done the same thing after his freshman season. He started three consecutive games at corner back and then found the bench, located in the sometimes-puzzling Mark Mangino doghouse. He did not see the field in the teams final three games that year. His sophomore year he moved to the offensive side of the ball, but there was not much consistency in where he played besides that. Beshears spent time alternating between running back and wide receiver, while returning kickoffs. Beshears finished third on the team in rushing his sophomore year, but because of an overload of young talent at running back, the coaches decided to finally give him his official position at receiver. The coaches knew they made the right decision after Beshears took over as a favorite target for sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb down the strech of last weeks game. Receivers coach David Beaty credits Beshears athleticism to the smoothness of all of the position changes. Its pretty impressive, but he falls in that great athlete category, Beaty said. Those guys can do a lot of different things and he fits that mold. There are a lot of techniques you have to learn to do that.

mAX mIKULECKY/KANSAN Junior wide receiver D.J. Beshears runs the ball past Northern Illinois line backer Gervaise Porter on Saturday. He caught the game-winning pass for a 45-42 Kansas victory. Hes just so athletic he picks them up very quickly. Just as Beshears has been able to trudge through the speed bumps throughout his Kansas career, the Jayhawks will have to learn to do the same this season. Last year, they would often trail early in games, get down on themselves, and allow that to snowball into a blowout defeat. Im glad to see that a lot of our players are starting to do that: move on to the next play, game, or whatever the situation may be, coach Turner Gill said. Youve got to take that to heart.

Quiet junior blocker hopes to lead by example

Tolefree glad she chose to play volleyball in her hometown
mAtt GALLOwAY
mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway Tayler Tolefree did not want to attend the University of Kansas. I grew up here for 18 years and I was set on leaving, Tolefree said. It took just one visit with coach Ray Bechard and his staff for the Lawrence native to realize that, when it comes to volleyball, there is no place like home. Tolefree, a junior middle blocker, has blossomed into one of Bechards most reliable upperclassmen, recording a team-leading .343 attack percentage this season. She said the decision to remain in the city she grew up in turned out to be a blessing. I love being able to go home and see my parents, Tolefree said. My grandma recently moved here, too. So having friends and family be able to come is definitely something I overlooked but now appreciate. Tolefree led the team with 14 blocks during last weekends Clarion Inn-vitational in Cedar Falls, Iowa, helping the Jayhawks (8-1) upset No. 6 Minnesota along the way. Bechard described Tolefree as a quiet force on the court who leads by example. As one of the few standout upperclassmen on a young and talented squad, Tolefree is being asked to open up and be more vocal on the court. Shes very inner-reflective and self-critical, Bechard said. Sometimes that creates opportunity, and sometimes that can create issues. But shes a wonderful kid who stands for the right things and shows up every day ready to go to work. Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc is Tolefrees roommate. She said Tolefree has two very different personalities. On the court shes very aggressive, Jarmoc said. Shes the strong, silent type. In both aspects, on and off the court, shes very driven. However, Jarmoc said, people dont always get to see the easy-going Tolefree she sees at home. Tolefrees drive plays heavily into games and practices. Jarmoc said Tolefree is sometimes known to time her off-court breaks to the minute, getting right back to work as soon as they are over. She is very organized, and its funny watching how she organizes her time, Jarmoc said. She always has a plan and shes always scheduled, even in her free time. I think that carries over throughout her entire life. Tolefree was a standout at Lawrence High School when she committed to Kansas her junior year. She was named to the First Team All-Sunflower League as a junior and a senior. She said she did not really consider herself at the level of a Division I volleyball player until she toured with the Lawrence Mavs, a local club team. Once clubs stepped up, it started to get more serious, Tolefree said. When I got letters I started thinking, Wow, I can do this. It wasnt something I ever really considered. Recruiting the best Lawrence has to offer is key for Bechard, who said his staff has two missions when recruiting the area. We want to promote volleyball in this area so there are players capable of playing at Kansas, Bechard said. And we want to promote it in the area so kids want to play at the University of Kansas. Tolefree said she could still fulfill her desire to study in another state when she enters graduate school in two years. For now, she said she is content being the quiet leader of one of the most promising Kansas volleyball teams in recent history. Tolefree said she would rather lead by contributing her kills and blocks to help the team instead of being loud and outspoken. But out of the gym, Im more of a fun personality than the coaches know when Im with the team, she said. Edited by Sarah McCabe

Selby was the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2010, according to Rivals.com. He arrived in Lawrence with as much fanfare as any recruit in recent memory. His nine-game NCAA suspension to open the season only raised excitement levels among Kansas fans, and he didnt disappoint in his debut against USC on Dec. 18.

Players can meddle with teams Karma

he word karma is tossed around a lot, usually to explain why something bad happened to someone who behaves like a jerk. But all Jayhawk fans witnessed karma firsthand last Saturday in the Jayhawks victory over Northern Illinois. On that last game-winning drive, the Northern Illinois defense was tired, and without any timeouts left, its players appeared to cramp up after every play, slowing the pace down and letting their teammates rest. If Northern Illinois had any timeouts remaining, it wouldve been forced to take them while tending to their injured player. However, Northern Illinois did not have any timeouts left, therefore the clock stopped as the trainers walked the hurt player to the sidelines.

This gave the Husky defense a chance to regroup against the Jayhawk offense that was marching down the field to take the lead. The Jayhawks didnt complain about the Huskies attempts to slow the game down. They ended up taking the lead with a fourth and goal touchdown that will be immortalized in the minds of the 48,000 fans there to witness it. Going back to the FIFA Womens World Cup Quarterfinal match between the

United States and Brazil, the U.S. squad was down by a goal in overtime. Brazilian defender Erika went down late in the match after a tackle. Erika plodded around on the field, refusing to get up until the trainers brought out the stretcher and carried her off the field to a safe distance. Then a miracle happened, Erikas leg was magically healed as soon as she left the pitch. So with time about to expire, Erika thought she had wasted valuable seconds off the clock to get her team closer to victory. Then karma kicked in. The referee gave Erika a yellow card for her delay and extended the game with enough stoppage time to make up for the time lost. The added time was enough for U.S. striker Abby Wambach to tie it up with a header and send the U.S. on to

win in penalty kicks. Now, do I believe fans can truly have an effect on their teams karma? No, most likely not because there are probably enough fans on both sides to balance things out. Except for the Philadelphia Eagles, whose fans are famous for throwing snowballs and booing Santa Claus. Players, however, can affect the teams karma. Remember the cautionary tale of Barry Bonds. He was one of the most talented players around, but the cloud of steroid controversy tarnishes his career. Bonds never won a World Series, but the Giants did just three seasons after he left.

only once in the history of the Kansas cross-country program has a Jayhawk woman won the award for Big 12 Runner of the Week. that was until tuesday, when senior Rebeka Stowe was honored with the title. the award was based on her first place finish in the Missouri CrossCountry Challenge. After finishing with a time of 17:43.93, Stowe said she thought it was important to start the season on a positive note. there is no doubt that she accomplished that in the first week of the season. not only did Stowe win the Big 12 Runner of the Week award, but she also ran the fastest 5K of her career, finished first in a collegiate race for the second time and helped the Jayhawks win as a team in Saturdays race. Last season Stowe finished first among Kansas women in every race in which she competed and earned the All-Big 12 award. Max Goodwin

COMMENTARY

Teaming up with Mizzou

By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com

ith Texas A&M on the cusp of officially joining the Southeastern conference and The Sporting News reporting that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are expected to apply for membership to the Pac-12 soon, its safe to say this 15-year marriage we call the Big 12 will be over before the first toss of confetti hits the Allen Fieldhouse floor in November. Oklahoma was the last hope of stability, but the Sooners much like the Huskers and Aggies before them seem fed up with Texas and all its antics and are looking for a fresh start out west. Texas Longhorn Network looks to be halting any interest from the Pac-12 at this point, and if Texas doesnt go, dont expect Texas Tech to see anything resembling an invite, either. The Big East seems like a legitimate option for both Kansas and Kansas State, but it shouldnt happen. Kansas needs to channel its inner Horace Greeley and Go West. Go west and take its rival with it. Its real rival, Missouri. Kansas and Missouri need to team up and sell their great rivalry to the Pac-12 and commissioner Larry Scott. The upside for the Pac12 makes too much sense. Theyd be getting the Kansas City and St. Louis markets, a basketball blue blood to team with UCLA and Arizona, and a perennial top-25 football program in Missouri; not to mention one of the nations best rivalries as well. Besides that, there really arent that many viable options left if Scott wants to expand to 16 and Texas isnt a part of the plan. Kansas and Missouri fans hate each other, but can we really imagine life without Missouri? If Ive said it once, Ive said it 47 times; rivalries that began with actual pillaging and murder shouldnt be forgotten. From Kansas standpoint, a partnership with Missouri just makes more sense than bringing Kansas State along. Turner Gill could sell high school recruits on trips to USC, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington while Bill Snyder tells the same kids a November trip to Syracuse really isnt that bad. Advantage: Kansas. And if you really think about it, does Kansas State really deserve to be in a conference with USC, Stanford, Oregon, or Oklahoma? That decade of dominance is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasnt won a bowl game since 2002, so lets not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasnt that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school. So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they werent asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

freshman forward ingrid Vidal points skyward during the South Dakota State game this season. Vidal is tied for the big 12 leader in goals scored and the overall big 12 leader for goals and assists combined.

rmccarthy@kansan.com Craftiness expresses Ingrid Vidals soccer skills. She may not be the biggest or strongest player, but shes hiding all kinds of tricks up her sleeves. When in the attacking part of the field, freshman forward Vidal raises her hand over her head, signaling for the ball. Shell then slow down for a moment and wait for the defender to catch up. After receiving the ball, she takes a small touch with her foot and maneuvers around the defender toward the goal. This devious tactic is just one of the many Vidal brings in her offensive arsenal. Its also the reason shes tied for the Big 12 leader in goals scored and the overall Big 12 leader for goals and assists combined. Shes just has a good sense of moving off the ball, coach Mark

Francis said. Shes has a good sense of being in the right place at the right time. Shes very technical, very good on the ball, very composed. Vidal, a native of Palmira, Colombia, also won Newcomer of the Week awards two weeks in a row, an accomplishment never achieved in Jayhawk soccer history. During an interview through a translator, Vidal said that the team is the reason she is getting these awards. Both her teammate and fellow Colombian Liana Salazar and Kansas softball outfielder Maggie Hull assisted in translating Vidals comments into English. Having a friend in Salazar makes this transition to the United States much easier. Shes helped me a lot in terms of adapting here, Vidal said. She explains things when I dont understand them with the

coaches and with daily life. It was a complex decision for Vidal to come to America, but she knew it was the correct step for her future plans, both academically and athletically. Vidal said it helps being an athlete because everyone is here to help her. She also said shes picked up a lot of English through soccer terminology, but day-to-day conversations are still a challenge. Even with the fabulous start, Vidal is still continuing to adjust to the American soccer game. Vidal said the American elements of soccer are much more organized. The style of play is technical and strength-based. It has not only been a unique situation for Vidal. Her teammates continue to learn from her, even with the language barrier. Its been an interesting experience, sophomore foward

Caroline Kastor said. Ive never played with an international player on my team. She brings a lot to the field, but she also brings a lot of chemistry to the team. Kastor roomed with Vidal on the teams recent road trip to Missouri State. She felt like that was a chance to really open up to her teammate. Its easy at first to just stay quiet and not talk to her too much just because you didnt know what to say, Kastor said. But being her roommate forced me to open up with her and talk about personal stuff. I think that was good and made her feel a lot more comfortable. Throughout this last month, many of her teammates have grown in their relationship with Vidal. One in particular is freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck whos helped both Salazar

and Vidal by bringing out their senses of humor. After many games, Van Slambrouck can be spotted kidding around with Vidal about the game. As Vidal continues to progress with both English and her soccer skills, she hopes that it will have winning results for the team. The more she plays with the team, the more she will understand what we do and it will become a lot more fluent, Van Slambrouck said. Kansas (6-2) next matchup is against highly ranked Florida on Sunday at 1 p.m. The game will be at the Jayhawk soccer complex. Edited by Sarah McCabe

new team, talent for Georgia tech

Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com twitter.com/uDK_B12Fball Georgia Tech put up solid allaround offensive numbers in their first two games this year, making them even more dangerous than last years team that was upset by the Jayhawks. The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill. Hes special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing, Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. He got behind our safeties last year for a big play. Hill leads the Yellow Jackets receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch. Its more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think well be OK, Keeston Terry, frehsman receiver, said. Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua Nesbitt and running back Anthony Allen graduated. Into the void stepped the quarterback pair of junior Tevin Washington and freshman Synjyn Days. The Yellow Jackets havent missed a beat. Their rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game. Washington is primarily the passing quarterback, throwing for 473 yards, but Days is the leading rusher for the Yellow Jackets, with 29 carries and 146 yards. Guys have to show up and make plays, Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. If youre the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, hes going to be able to run for another four or five yards and kanSan FILE PhOtO be able to pick up the first down.
