Te KU Model UN will soon be
taking part in discussions that may
very well afect the future of inter-
national foreign policy. KUs Model
UN, an organization made up of 30
to 35 students from the University,
will take 10 of its members to Kan-
sas City on Nov. 16 to participate
alongside high school students,
business leaders and local politi-
cians, in a discussion of major glob-
al issues in the post-2015 world.
Te conference is one of several
being convened all over the world
as part of an efort by the United
Nations to foster open conversa-
tion on the future of international
politics, which until 2015 will be
managed by the Millennial Devel-
opment Goals, a set of regulations
directing the policies of the United
Nations on issues as diverse as pov-
erty in third world nations to edu-
cation and nutrition standards.
Te UN has gone a long way in
trying to expand their reach to stu-
dents and citizens around the world
in the last ten years, said Joey
Hentzler, president of KUMUN.
Tis conference is a part of the
UNs eforts to increase the partici-
pation of groups like women, youth
and indigenous peoples all over the
world.
Te conference, which is attended
by hundreds of business leaders and
students, is one of several national
and international conferences held
each year. Each focus on fostering
an interest from high school and
college students in global afairs
and foreign policy, especially since
the regulations that guide UN poli-
cy are expiring in 2015.
Im really looking forward to
having discussions with people
about the millennial goals, said
Garret Fugate, a graduate student
from St. Louis. Its great to take a
part in conversations that might af-
fect global diplomacy.
Te conferences provide students
with the opportunity to speak
about their interest in global afairs
and have their voices heard by the
real United Nations.
Afer taking part in discussions
regarding a variety of global issues,
the participants discussion notes
will be sent from the conference to
the Secretariat of the United Na-
tions as a way of voicing their con-
cerns and beliefs regarding world
governance in the post-2015 world.
National conferences for Model
UN require extensive study and re-
search prior to the event.
National conferences for Model
UN require extensive studying and
research prior to attending. Ofen
prepared for weeks, even months
in advance, participants have the
opportunity to voice their goals for
the UN like never before.
Tis is a student organization
that has been built from the ground
up by KU students, said Erik Scott,
associate professor of History
and faculty advisor for KUMUN.
Teyve gone from being a small
group to a large organization that
has gone on to win several distinc-
tions in national and international
conferences.
More than anything, the Model
UN hopes to promote an interest in
global politics and issues with stu-
dents and citizens alike.
Its about looking beyond college
and campus life that students see,
Scott said. Its about exploring ma-
jor global issues not just from an
American perspective, but from a
global perspective.

When Amanda Tompson goes
to the supermarket, she hangs a
blue placard in her windshield
to park in an accessible space.
Based on her appearance, it isnt
obvious that Tompson, a senior
from Liberty, has a disability. Af-
ter her freshman year in 2010, she
survived a car accident that lef
her with a severe brain injury, and
returning to school terrifed her.
When I
came back, it
was a diferent
world for me,
said Tomp-
son. Accessi-
bility was a hot
mess on this
campus but
then, things
started getting
done. I already
think that were going in a good
direction.
Te frst-ever public accessibil-
ity forum will be hosted by the
Accessibility Executive Advisory
Council on Nov. 14 from 3:30 to
5 p.m. in the Centennial Room of
the Kansas Union.
Attendees have the opportunity
to share feedback and ideas with
the panel to further improve ac-
cessibility conditions. In addi-
tion, panelists will present the
achievement highlights that fol-
lowed a 2010 task force evaluat-
ing the Universitys accessibility
policies and practices.
If we were doing this only
to give ourselves a pat on the
backs, then we wouldnt make it
a forum, said Jamie Lloyd Simp-
son, director of accessibility and
Americans with Disabilities Act
education. We really value what
the community has to say.
Te forum will conclude with
the disclosure of results of an on-
line survey that produced more
than 150 responses, including
answers to the
question, How
do you feel
about disability
being an inclu-
sive part of our
community?
According to
Simpson, dis-
ability can be
seen as an ac-
commodat i on
but she sees it as an asset.
Its a way to diversify our com-
munity in ways that we can really
appreciate our humanity and em-
brace that, said Simpson.
Given the topography of cam-
pus, Simpson said that transpor-
tation has been set up for stu-
dents, faculty, and visitors with
disabilities. Additionally, the Ac-

Kansan welcomes new
management for spring
The University Daily Kansan is proud to
welcome incoming editor-in-chief Katie
Kutsko and business manager Sean
Powers to its Spring 2014 management
staff.
A sophomore journalism major from
Columbus, Ind., Kutsko is currently the
art director at the Kansan. She has
worked as a design chief and web editor
in her past experience on staff. Kutsko
spent the summer working as a graphic
artist for the William Allen White school
of Journalism and is currently serving as
the publications chair for the All Schol-
arship Hall council at the University.
A senior journalism major from
Minnetonka, Minn., Powers is currently
the sales manager at the Kansan. In his
past experience on staff, he served as a
zone manager, senior account executive
and marketing specialist. He spent the
summer in Springeld, Mo., as an intern
at Gannett Company, Inc. working as
an account executive on its automotive
team.
It has been almost a century
since the First World War began
and changed western civilization.
Author, journalist and histori-
an Sir Max Hastings lectured on
World War I last night at the Lied
Center, discussing his latest book
Catastrophe 1914: Europe Goes
to War.
Hastings lecture focused on the
origins and key issues that caused
the war and chal-
lenged the no-
tion of blame
in World War
I. According to
Hastings, all the
countries in-
volved in the war
were to blame.
When you tell
people that Ser-
bia, a country
that few people have heard of, lost
a million people, they are amazed
and realize the impact the frst
war had, Hastings said. I feel like
many people have mistaken ideas
about the First World War.
Minah Kim, a student from
Seoul, South Korea, said that
Hastings humor and jokes made
the lecture enjoyable.
I thought it gave solid perspec-
tives since I knew only a little
about the war coming in, Kim
said.
Hastings has written a total of 24
books, a majority of them focus-
ing on the wars and conficts of the
20th century. He has also worked
as a war reporter and an editor of
the Daily Tele-
graph.
Ac c o r d i n g
to Hastings,
World War I
was a transi-
tional war and
not the tech-
nologically ad-
vanced war that
was World War
II since it was
still very primitive. Even though
motor cars existed, soldiers pri-
marily traveled by horse or on
foot, Hastings said.
Although there are records and
frsthand accounts from deceased
veterans, Hastings said that the
world will never truly know ev-
erything that transpired in World
War I.
Te lecture is part of a series of
events sponsored by the Hall Cen-
ter and several academic divisions
to recognize the centennial anni-
versary of World War I.
Weve all been taught not to leave
the water running and to take
shorter showers. Right now those
water conservation tips are espe-
cially important for Kansas.
Douglas County is currently in a
drought warning due partially to
low water levels in local aquifers.
Diane Coe of the Kansas Water
Ofce said that there isnt a specif-
ic set of factors that puts a county
in a drought watch, warning or
emergency, but the ofce issues the
alerts to give counties a heads up
when water levels could go down.
It [a drought warning] means
that folks should be very conscious
of their water use, Coe said.
Jeanette Klamm, who works at
the Department of Utilities in Law-
rence, said the message might seem
obvious: dont waste water, but its
important to remember even with-
out a drought
warning.
Klamm said the
warning means
the city needs to
have a water con-
servation plan
and educate the
public on how to
conserve water.
Students may
not feel the efects
of a drought, but farmers like Leroy
Rieschick, who owns a small farm
near Holton, are directly afected.
Rieschick said he didnt sufer as
much as other farmers, particularly
those in western Kansas, but he did
have to cut back this year and sell
his cattle earlier than he normally
would to preserve his land.
I had a pond
that went dry
and I cleaned
it out so I wont
sufer from
that again, Ri-
eschick said.
He said he
thinks the
drought in-
directly af-
fects students
through their grocery bills.
Tis year he sold his cattle at the
highest price hes ever been able to,
and he said that might contribute
to higher meat prices.
If we would continue to have
drought, cost of food could get
very prohibitive to people on lim-
ited income, Rieschick said.
Fortunately, according to Coe,
water supply is looking better than
it has in the past year or so, but that
doesnt mean students shouldnt be
concerned.
Students should be aware that
theres not an endless supply of wa-
ter, Coe said.
Nearly half of the counties in
Kansas are in an emergency
drought situation. Douglas Coun-
ty has been in a drought watch
since 2011, which was upgraded
to drought warning by the Kansas
Water Ofce in August.

Teres an intersection between

Lecturer addresses World War I misconceptions

Sir Max Hastings, a journalist and World War I historian, spoke Wednesday night at the Lied Center. The lecture was part of a
series sponsored by the Hall Center.
I feel like many people

have mistaken ideas about
the First World War.
SIR MAX HASTINGS
Journalist and historian
A
few weeks ago, in a
Michigan middle school,
a handful of students
were prevented from honoring
a classmate who they lost to leu-
kemia. In the name of protecting
the other children from grief, the
administrators banned t-shirts
with her name. It backfred spec-
tacularly.
From putting children on leash-
es (which Im convinced parents
do for the comedy more than
anything) to putting children on
vegan diets, a sizable chunk of the
population is convinced that the
world is out to eat their children
alive. Its an unfortunate attitude
of overprotecting kids from
themselves that Im convinced
will do more harm than good.
As a pre-teen, I ran with a small
pack of other neighborhood
hoodlums around a set of ponds
that ran through all our back-
yards. In a slimy, scrap-metal
flled corner, we made our base
in a sewage drainage pipe. Every
day we could, wed climb through
an obstacle course of thorns,
muddy hills and huge slabs of
unstable rocks to reach it. We
came out with cuts, bruises, and
a genuine sense of adventure.
While other kids played Nintendo
64 until their eyes bled, we fought
of geese while scooping up frogs
with our bare hands.
Tis little oasis of the un-
knowna small, 100-square foot
block of swampgave us stories
to tell about wildlife, nasty pieces
of algae we dared each other to
lick, and a perfect platform to
play Vietnam in the mud.
If you so much as mention that
sort of place to some parents
these days, youd get slapped.
Tese sorts of dangerous places
are harder and harder to fnd.
And if you do fnd one, theres
not a kid in sight. Teir parents
have trapped them inside eating
apple slices and playing cheap
video games that teach arithme-
tic and vocabulary. If they ever
emerge from their cave, pale and
emaciated, they hide from the sun
like Gollum.
Why is Calvin and Hobbes so
wildly popular? Its the antith-
esis of that style of parenting.
Everyone in retrospect wishes
theyd built a tree house and raced
wagons down their street afer
reading a healthy dose of Bill
Watterson.
Its easy to cast aspersions on
parents from afar. Tese are all
people doing the hardest job of
their lives and improvising most
of the time. Its true that times are
changing. Schools are now battle-
grounds. Food is flled with lead
and toys with mercury. Paranoia
is becoming standard.
Around a month ago, I watched
my mom pull out her cell phone
and puf up like a blowfsh. Shes
cussing again! she declared to
the car. Shed installed an app
that let her remotely monitor my
sisters text messaging like Big
Brother went 4G. It wasnt just
the creepiness of the spying that
confused me, it was the indignity
and disbelief that her child was
cursing. Heres a woman that
congratulated me when I caught a
bucket full of tadpoles and named
them all Chuck.
And thats what Im really wor-
ried about: that maybe the second
Im responsible for another hu-
man life, Ill grow a Castro beard
and start banning comic books.
Im terrifed that this new social
landscape has redefned parenting
to a totalitarian dictatorship.
Tese scrapes, broken bones
and fghts in the schoolyard build
character. Te cuts heal into scars
that eventually fade. But the sense
of independence and confdence
never leaves you. Without my
sewage-pipe fort, Id be half who I
am today.
With that in mind, all I ask is
that once you fnd yourself taking
care of a tiny human, you take
your kid out of his cage, put him
on the leash and take him for a
walk every once in a while. And
refll his water-bowl; the water
gets funky afer a day or so.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013 PAGE 4A
I
m willing to make you a bet,
which is unusual for someone
about as lucky as Wile E. Coy-
ote with a third-grade level grasp
on probability. Here is my wager:
if you were to ask a ffh grader
why geography is his favorite sub-
ject, or ask a college professor to
pinpoint the root of her passion,
or ask a politician to trace the
nexus of his motivationmore
ofen than nottheir answers
would have to do with a human
and not with a screen. Chances
are, their inspirations came in the
form of an infuential fgure, a
person who brought the text on a
page to life, who made the static
dynamic.
Tinking back on your own
education, surely there is a teacher
or a mentor who stands out
above the others, someone who
challenged you and sparked your
interest, who transformed the po-
tentially mundane into something
complex, something relevant to
the world outside of the school
walls. If you told me that your
love for economics came from the
riveting online course you took, I
would call you a liar or look for a
barcode tattooed behind your ear
(telltale sign of a robot, the Inter-
net says so). In reality, that online
class probably consisted of a lot of
fnicky formatting of punctuation,
races against the clock before it
struck 11:59, and untimely brows-
er crashes due to the 15 tabs you
had open at once. It was not to
be enjoyed, but endured, alone at
your desk, laden with heavy sighs
and fruitless Google searches.
Te shif towards online educa-
tion certainly isnt unfounded. In
a large, pre-requisite style lecture
class, its simply unrealistic to ex-
pect someone to hand-grade 500
biweekly homework assignments.
With frequent reading assign-
ments, it makes perfect sense
to hold students accountable in
the form of short online reading
quizzes. Online assignments save
paper, save time, and keep robust
records of grades. Tese are
efective uses of online education-
al toolshere they are comple-
ments, not replacements. Te true
danger lies in the trend towards
entirely online classes, especially
the push for these classes even as
early as elementary school. We
may live in the technological era,
worshiping speed and efciency,
but what is the trade-of? What
are we sacrifcing for the sake of
easy scheduling? What are we
withholding from students when
we replace their teachers with a
clean, accessible web page layout?
From the most painfully intro-
verted to the aggressively extro-
verted, people need people. For it
is people who bring concepts to
life; it is people whom challenge
and foster discussion and it is
relationships that provide a con-
text for ideas to root themselves.
Education has a historical role
in American life that transcends
merely skill-set learning or test
passing; it teaches socialization,
empathy, kinesthetic learning,
adaptation to diversity and
challenges us to ask questions.
Full, complete understanding of
classroom material requires some
degree of emotional engagement
that Google and Blackboard sim-
ply cannot provide.
What sort of a generation will
online education produce? One
that is wholly uninspired by learn-
ing, one that views completing
an assignment not as a journey
towards learning, but as seeing
a blinking 16/16 points afer
theyve texted their friends for the
answers. Sure, online education
gives us time, it spares us energy,
but in return we lose an invaluable
life and vigor amidst megapixels
and an empty notion of cy-
ber-community. Perhaps Im
being a little apocalyptic, but I see
a generation of students, already
under intense economic and aca-
demic pressure, unable to recon-
cile the boundaries of technology
and never having been grabbed by
the shoulders and shaken, never
having been inspired by a fgure
that transformed their notion of
education.
And Ill make another bet: if
you asked a ffh grader whose
education had been mainly online
what his favorite subject was and
why, I bet hed struggle to give you
an answer.

EDUCATION
CULTURE CHILDHOOD
R
oughly 100 years ago,
some representative of
America was invited to
England where he met with
various European and African
and South American delegates
of the world. At one point the
Portuguese delegate asked the
American if he was a fan of
football.
Football? asked the Ameri-
can.
Te British delegate looked up
from adjusting his pocket watch.
Why it is the greatest sport in
the world!
Yes, agreed the Brazilian rep-
resentative, the sport where you
kick the ball around with your
feet, and attempt to score a goal.
Te American representative
rubbed his chin as his eyes
glazed over in a mist of deep
thought, No he said slowly,
no if it is true that we are
speaking of the greatest sport
in the world, then football must
be the sport where you run
with the ball. Tere was a hush
of disbelief in the room as the
American cheerily added, but
your quarterback can throw you
the ball as well!
It is an odd feeling to live in
a country where traveling 80
in a car is slow, 25 degrees is
comfortably warm and a good
conversation about the greatest
sport is as rare as winning a prize
from McDonalds Monopoly.
Still, some things seem to be
more or less the same every-
where. Winter is coming, and
as if on cue everyone has gotten
appropriately sick. If youre lucky
enough to stay healthy, and
were blessed with a good sense
of smell in the frst place, you
may detect a balmy Chap Stick
smell circulating around all of
the classrooms, but with chapped
lips comes sweaters and ferce
debates over whose home is truly
the coldest.
I typically argue that Kansas
Citys hot summer renders us less
prepared for the winter, and the
lack of snow leaves us in a state
of particularly acute hopeless-
ness. Te Russians down the
hall have provided a formidable
attack upon my line of argumen-
tation, but my pride is resilient. I
refuse to back down.
Almost two and a half months
into my stay at Nanjing, the ro-
mance is approaching its highest
point. In Shanghai people walked
too quickly and in Hong Kong
they found investment schemes
too interesting. Tese two cities
are beautiful places to visit, but
they are certainly no home. Nan-
jing, on the other hand, reminds
me a great deal of my home: the
buildings are not too tall, the
people are not too busy and the
sports teams usually lose.
Tere is a certain charm of a
place that doesnt have to worry
about protecting some illustri-
ous throne. Tat said, Nanjing
is currently preparing to host
the Youth Olympics next year,
so perhaps Ive said too much;
late Saturday night you can hear
constructions crews tearing up
the road to make way for a new
subway line. Still, it is hard to say
who is responsible for what in a
country where fve separate time
zones are all in accord with the
clocks in Beijing.
At the end of the day, I like
Nanjing because, relatively
speaking, it has a feeling that I
am used to. Most of the locals
Ive talked to curiously dis-
cuss the prospect of moving
to a glitzier city like Beijing or
Guangzhou, but eventually the
conversation boils down to what
really defnes second-tier cities:
assertions of an easier life (we
walk at a more comfortable
pace) and idiosyncratically
placed pride (the summer here
is the worst).
More than half way around the
world, my own assertions and
pride have only grown in mag-
nitude. For example, the other
week I saw a Chinese student
wearing a New England Patriots
t-shirt. I asked how he became
a fan and he simply informed
me because they were the best.
A smile crept across my face as
I took a seat next to him and
explained at length just how far
from the truth his statement was;
1423 miles, to be exact.

FASHION
Lawrence, its time to bundle up.
With the temperature dropping
by the hour, staying warm and
keeping up with the latest trends
doesnt mean you have to break
the bank. Add unique pieces to
your wardrobe and take it easy on
your wallet by checking out local
thrif stores such as Goodwill or
Salvation Army.
WINTER THRIFTING TIPS:
Thrift stores are usually stocked
up on inexpensive winter coats, so
grab one before your next snowy walk
to class.
With the holiday season rolling
in, thrift stores are a great place to
look for tacky Christmas sweaters for
theme parties.
Especially with the unpredictable
winter weather in Kansas, make sure
to check the seams and examine mer-
chandise thoroughly for holes, rips,
tears and missing buttons.
Inventory changes constantly, so
plan to shop every couple of weeks.
Frequent trips to the thrift store ensure
you wont miss out on any nds.
Wash anything you buy before
wearing it.
Alice Masterson, a senior from
Washington D.C., is a profession-
al when it comes to thrif shop-
ping and fnding unique pieces.
I normally take a quick glance
over outerwear racks, Masterson
said. aFeel around, and decide
what seems warm. Try stuf on.
I think that wool coats and pufy
winter coats are really good for
the winter. and you can layer that
over sweaters.
Masterson also recommend-
ed checking out Etsy.com for all
kinds of thrifing treasures.
Etsy tends to be more expen-
sive, because it is handpicked
stuf. Shop owners can rationalize
charging more, because they are
charging more for the service that
goes into it, Masterson said. A
person is actually going through,
looking and doing the work for
you. Tey are the ones fnding the
cool stuf for you.
TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
Keep an eye out for layering items.
Thick sweaters and chunky scarves are
perfect for the winter months. Dont
be afraid to check out both men and
womens sections for oversized, cozy
nds. Denitely keep an eye out for
items to bulk up with. Wear several
items at the same time, which is a look
that goes for men and women. Thrift-
ing is a really good way to achieve
this look, because there is so much
variety, said Corey Cievers, of Arizona
Trading Company, a well-known local
thrift store located at 736 Massachu-
setts St.
Dark reds such as burgundy and
deep maroons are this seasons hot-
test color, and work well when paired
with neutrals. Look for this color in
sweaters, pants, scarves, and skirts.
Leather moto jackets in both browns,
blacks, and grays are also relatively
easy to nd in thrift stores, and make
a great addition to your winter ward-
robe.
Get year-round wear from military
jackets. Slouchy cargos and camo
printed items are easy to nd, and also
another staple for this season.
Cievers advice for new thrifers
is to take the time to look.
Its not the same as walking into
the Gap and fnding the same
items in 20 diferent sizes, Ciev-
ers said. You have to take your
time and dig, and you will even-
tually fnd something that will be
just right for you.
Spend some time at thrif shops
and spruce up your winter ward-
robe this season with unique
pieces that match your fashion
personality.

COREY CIEVERS

On a cold night in early Novem-
ber, local musician Taryn Miller sat
on her back porch in North Law-
rence and talked about her life for
almost 20 minutes. Before she ever
mentioned the musical project that
has found her some local fame,
she continued a conversation like
a long-lost friend who you havent
spoken to in awhile.
Were not rolling are we?
Yeah, Ive been recording every-
thing.
Oh. Miller said and then
laughed. Dammit.
Tats Taryn Miller: a 22-year-old
University student with the stage
name Your Friend. Shes quick to
befriend someone before she shy-
ly talks about the work shes put in
that found her as the most played
musician on KJHKs music charts
for two straight weeks. Instead she
wants to talk about other bands she
likes, or poets shes read, or how the
friends she makes music with are
her real inspiration.
But right now Miller is the top
played musician on the Universitys
campus radio KJHK. Te stations
music director Jake Waters said he
hasnt seen a local artist at the top
of the charts since he started work-
ing at the campus radio station in
2011.
Miller said that Waters sent her a
text message to tell her that she hit
No. 1. She didnt really understand
it, because she wasnt sure how the
station determined which song
was the top track. Waters said the
charts list the most played song for
the week, and she is played on the
station about 15-25 times a week.
She was No. 1 on the Oct. 29 and
the Nov. 5 charts at the station.
Tats huge to me, Miller said.
I dont know how to feel about it,
because I feel really humbled that
they would play it as ofen as they
do. But theres so much music out
there thats coming out lef and
right. For it to take up airtime is
kind of crazy.
Millers relationship with the
station actually began more than
a year ago when she played a live
set at the station last fall. Back then
she still stylized her stage name as
Y[our] Fri[end]. She dropped the
brackets a few months ago, but that
hasnt stopped people from being
confused by her name.
I didnt even think about how
much is in that, like the ideas about
being someones friend, Miller
said of the clever stage name she
stumbled upon. It does piss peo-
ple of, though. People will tell
their friends that they are going to
see Your Friend, and they will say
Whos my friend?
Millers stage name couldnt be
more appropriate,
though, because
she cant stop fnd-
ing herself creat-
ing music with her
friends. She began
playing guitar when
she was 14, has been
writing music since
she was a freshman
in high school, and
now she plays mul-
tiple instruments in
four musical projects. She performs
constantly. Last week she played
Tursday night, Friday night and
then again on Sunday night. She
plays with one of her bands Oils
tonight at the Jazzhaus.
Im in CS Luxem, Oils, my proj-
ect, and Im playing drums in an-
other band now called Hush Ma-
chine, Miller said.
Tats Taryn Miller: a busy mu-
sician that wrote and recorded
her EP Jekyll/Hyde in her North
Lawrence home and self released
the record on Aug. 17. Shes a mu-
sical handyman playing bass in her
roommates alternative band Oils,
guitar and vocals in smooth rock
band CS Luxem, drums in shim-
mery guitar project Hush Ma-
chine and on top of that she writes
her own music for Your Friend.
But her personal project may
be the hardest to explain musi-
cally. She uses six guitar pedals to
make certains sounds to create
music that may only be identifed
as ambient. Millers roommate
and bandmate Andrew Frederick
had to take a few seconds to think
before he could come up with the
right words.
Its sort of atmospheric, in that
her voice creates the atmosphere,
Frederick said. She has a great
ability to create a space with her
voice and with her melodies.
So far, it doesnt matter how you
describe her music because people
are going to listen regardless. Mill-
er hasnt even performed outside of
the state yet but she said shes been
hearing from
fans across
the country
and even in
the UK.
Once she
graduates in
December she
hopes to get
out of Kan-
sas and on
the road, but
those plans
arent cemented yet. She still has
a full-time job at the local record
store Love Garden and wants to
keep living in Lawrence.
Miller has been getting bands
from the area asking for her to
help them get shows, or for her to
come play with them. As her pop-
ularity increases, she will still act as
the same old Taryn Miller, a local
musician who grew up in Winfeld,
Kan., and likes to create sounds
with her friends.
Ive been really trying to respond
to everybody, Miller said. I dont
want that to happen, where Im ig-
noring people.
Tats Taryn Miller: your friend.

These enchilada tacos with chili-lime sour cream can be made with chicken or pork.
With a drop in temperature and
steady pileup of assignments and
tests to fnish of the semester, time
seems to be running short, and
slow cooker meals are becoming
ideal for busy students.
Slow cookers are generally around
$15 to $80 depending on the size.
Tese meals are easy 5 to 10 minute
meals that are warm and ready to
be served upon walking through
the door.
Chicken Stufng
One of the easiest recipes is the
slow cooker version of chick-
en stufng. Plus, this recipe only
requires fve ingredients, one of
which is water.
Ingredients:
4 frozen chicken breasts
6 oz. package stufng mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup water
First, mix the sour cream, water,
cream of chicken soup and stuf-
ing mix in bowl. Put a thin layer
of this mixture in the bottom of the
slow cooker. Ten place the frozen
chicken in the slow cooker. To top
it of, cover the chicken with the
rest of the sour cream and stufng
mixture. Make sure the chicken is
not resting on the bottom or stick-
ing to the sides of the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook
on low for fve hours or until the
chicken is falling apart and has no
pink in the middle. Turn the slow
cooker of and dinner is served.
Fluf up the stufng a bit for a bet-
ter look.

Cheesy spaghetti with turkey sausage
Not in the mood for something
so heavy? Try this low-fat version
of spaghetti. While this recipe re-
quires more prep time than most,
the homemade turkey sausage can
be substituted for pre-packaged
sausage.
Turkey sausage ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
tsp. garlic powder
tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. dried sage
tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. dried oregano
Pasta ingredients:
1 (24 oz.) jar of spaghetti sauce
8 oz. uncooked 100% whole-wheat
spaghetti (about 2/3 of a 13.25 oz. box)
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 cup skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. chopped basil
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Kosher salt (to taste)
Te frst step is making the turkey
sausage (these steps can be skipped
if you choose to use pre-packaged
sausage). Add all of the ingredi-
ents for the sausage into a large
mixing bowl and mix completely.
Cook the ground turkey sausage
in a large skillet over medium heat,
breaking into small pieces. Afer
it loses its pink color, remove the
skillet from the heat, drain the skil-
let of any fat then set aside. Break
the uncooked spaghetti into pieces.
Afer, combine the jar of spaghetti
sauce, meat and uncooked spaghet-
ti pieces in a medium bowl. Add
the remaining pasta ingredients to
the medium bowl and stir. Last,
add everything in the medium
bowl to the slow cooker. Cover the
slow cooker and allow it to cook on
low for 2-3 hours or until the spa-
ghetti is cooked and the cheese is
bubbly. Bon apptit, you are ready
to serve and enjoy.
Enchilada tacos
with chili-lime sour cream
If Mexican food is on the mind,
try this recipe for enchilada tacos
with chili-lime sour cream. Tis
recipe has endless options and can
be made with pork or chicken.
Ingredients:
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. paprika or smoked paprika
1 lime
2 lbs. frozen chicken (thighs or breasts)
1 can enchilada sauce
Corn tortillas
Shredded lettuce (optional)
Shredded queso quesadilla cheese, or
crumbled queso fresco (optional)

To prep, start with the chili-lime
sour cream sauce. Add the sour
cream, chili powder, cumin, and
paprika into a small bowl. Ten cut
up the lime and squeeze the juice
into the bowl as well. Mix all these
ingredients together, cover and re-
frigerate. Place the chicken or pork
into the slow cooker and cover with
the can of enchilada sauce. Here is
where you can add a little variety
by adding chopped onions, diced
green chilies or jalapenos to the
slow cooker. Either way, make sure
the chicken is not sticking to the
sides or bottom of the slow cook-
er- it will burn if it is. Cover the
slow cooker and cook on low for
six hours or until the meat is thor-
oughly cooked. When the meat is
done, place it into a bowl and shred
it. Add a few tablespoons of the en-
chilada sauce to the shredded meat
to make it moist. Heat up a few
tortillas, place the shredded meat
on the tortilla, and add lettuce and
cheese if desired, as well as sour
cream.
With a busy schedule, its nice to
come home to a warm, ready-to-
eat meal and slow cookers do just
that. Enjoy!

Socialist candidate takes lead in Seattle City Council race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE Voters in lef-lean-
ing Seattle, where police recently
handed out snacks at a large mar-
ijuana festival and politicians ofen
try to out-liberal each other, are
close to electing a Socialist candi-
date to the City Council.
Following the latest ballot count
Tuesday night, Kshama Sawant had
a 402-vote lead over 16-year in-
cumbent Richard Conlin.
Given Washington states mail-in
voting system, a winner wont be
named for days or even weeks afer
the Nov. 4 election.
Still, the strong showing by
Sawant, a col-
lege economics
professor and
prominent fg-
ure in Seattles
Occupy Wall
Street move-
ment, has sur-
prised many
people.
Scott Cline,
the citys ar-
chivist, said re-
search showed
no Socialist candidate had won a
citywide ofce in the past 100 years.
Tis is new territory. Tere real-
ly isnt any precedent, said Stuart
Elway, a longtime political pollster.
You think Seattle has a pretty lib-
eral electorate, but you havent seen
someone who calls themselves a
socialist win.
Sawant, 41, drew attention as part
of local Occupy Wall Street protests
that included taking over a down-
town park and a junior college
campus in late 2011. She then ran
for legislative ofce in 2012, chal-
lenging the powerful speaker of the
state House, a Democrat. She was
easily defeated.
Tis year, she ran against Conlin,
pushing a platform that appeared to
resonate with the city. She backed
eforts to raise the minimum wage
to $15; called for rent control in the
city where rental prices keep climb-
ing; and supports a
tax on millionaires
to help fund a pub-
lic transit system
and other services.
I think we have
shown the stron-
gest skeptics that
the Socialist label
is not a bad one for
a grassroots cam-
paign to succeed,
said Sawant, who
is on leave from
her job as an professor at Seattle
Central Community College.
During her campaign, she con-
demned economic inequality, con-
tending that some people arent
benefting from the citys declin-
ing jobless rate, ongoing recovery
from the recession, and downtown
building boom.
Tis is one of wealthiest cities
in the wealthiest country in the
world, she said. For people to
struggle for basic needs is absurd.
City Council races are technical-
ly non-partisan in Seattle. Sawant,
however, made sure people knew
she was running as a Socialist, a
label that would ensure defeat in
many areas of the country.
Socialists have run for ofce in
Seattle before. Before Sawant,
the most successful candidate
was Yolanda Alaniz, who in 1991
emerged from the primary in sec-
ond place but was easily defeated in
the general election.
Tere were certainly populist
candidates, said Cline, the city ar-
chivist. I dont think any of them
you could remotely call Socialist.
Certainly there has never been
anybody who has run as strongly as
Sawant has.

You think Seattle has a

pretty liberal electorate,
but you havent seen
someone who calls them-
selves a socialist win.

MEDFORD, Ore. An explosive
device that police say was designed
to destroy an Oregon county prose-
cutor's ofce instead blew out win-
dows in a pre-dawn blast Wednes-
day that did little other damage.
Te FBI said it was too early to
say whether the blast in Jackson
County was terror-related, but
Medford Police Chief Tim George
said he considered the explosion a
domestic terror attack aimed at law
enforcement.
No one was hurt when the device
fashioned in part from a 5-gallon
propane tank exploded. Police say
it failed to fully detonate.
About 25 federal investigators
from the FBI and Bureau of Alco-
hol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-
sives in Seattle and Portland were
joining the efort to gather evi-
dence about the explosive device,
George said.
"Te most important thing in
these cases, as we've seen over the
years, is the methodical collection
of evidence," George said. "I would
bet the house on it, we are going to
clear this case."
Afer the explosion, a silver-col-
ored propane tank, similar to those
used for camping, lay dented on its
side in front of the broken windows
at the prosecutor's ofce.
Two windows near the entrance
were broken out of the one-story
brick building across a quiet neigh-
borhood street from the jail and
courthouse. Yellow crime scene
tape surrounded the building and
evidence markers dotted the park-
ing lot.
"Te bomb squad on scene said
had it detonated, there would
have been devastation at the scene
and the building would have been
destroyed." said Medford police
spokesman Lt. Mike Budreau. "We
believe there was something else
attached to (the propane tank) that
was intended to blow it up, but was
not successful."
No one was inside the building
when the blast hit around 4:30 a.m.
When investigators arrived, the
tank was burning, and it continued
to burn until the propane ran out,
police said.
Budreau said police were search-
ing for a man who ran from an of-
cer several blocks away, but it's un-
clear if he had anything to do with
the explosion.
George said there were no sus-
pects and no indications of the mo-
tive. While the district attorney's
ofce regularly gets threats from
people, none stand out as poten-
tially related, he said.
"I think it is domestic terrorism,
absolutely," due to the type of ex-
plosive device and the intent to do
heavy damage to the district attor-
ney's ofce, George said. "We don't
know what the message was. We
don't know what the intent was."
Police withheld details of the ex-
plosive device, such as how it was
detonated and what kind of explo-
sive was used.
Police went house to house warn-
ing people to stay indoors and
cleared a large area around the
ofce out of fears there might be
other explosive devices, but tight-
ened the closed area afer none was
found.
Te district attorney's ofce
was closed, with a skeleton crew
working at another site, District
Attorney Beth Heckert said. Te
courthouse was to reopen in the
afernoon, and grand jury proceed-
ings in unrelated cases were to re-
sume Tursday.
George said authorities were
making a point of not allowing the
explosion to disrupt their regular
duties.

A damaged propane tank lays among debris in front of the Jackson County District Attorneys ofce after an explosion shattered

NATIONAL
PITTSBURGH Tree Pitts-
burgh high school students head-
ing to their vehicle afer classes
ended were shot Wednesday af-
ternoon, and police investigating
whether the shooting stemmed
from a drug-related dispute had six
people in custody for questioning,
school and police ofcials said.
Te victims were shot outside
Brashear High School as they
walked to a vehicle they'd all taken
to school earlier in the day, school
district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh
said. Nearby residents said they
heard seven or eight shots.
Te wounds of the victims, all boys,
appeared to be non-life-threaten-
ing, both Pugh and police spokes-
woman Diane Richard said, though
their descriptions of the wounds
difered slightly. Pugh said two stu-
dents were grazed in the head and
one was shot in both the foot and
arm. Richard said one was grazed
in the neck and shoulder, but not
the head.
Police believe the shooting might
stem from a drug-related fght be-
tween some students last month,
Richard said. Neither she nor
school district ofcials immediate-
ly provided more details.
Six people were brought in for
questioning, Pittsburgh public
safety director Michael Huss said
about two hours afer the shoot-
ing. Police said some were current
or former students, but Richard
wouldn't say whether any were
considered suspects or necessarily
going to be charged.
"Tere are no arrests at this time,
though we have some folks of in-
terest," Huss said. "Our police need
the time to do a thorough job here
and we need to give them that
time."
Acting police Chief Regina Mc-
Donald confrmed, however, that
police had stopped searching for
gunmen, and Huss said, "Te situ-
ation is under control."
None of the victims immediate-
ly spoke or cooperated with po-
lice, Richard said. All were listed
in good to stable condition at city
hospitals, she said. Two are 17 and
one is 16.
Te student who was shot in the
head was found inside the school,
though that's because he "made his
way back to the school, and was
pulled back inside by one of the ad-
ministrators," Richard said.
She stressed, "Tere was no
shooting at Brashear school. ... Te
shooting did not happen in the
school."
Brashear, with about 1,400 stu-
dents in grades nine through 12
about two miles south of down-
town, was locked down briefy,
though students were released to
their parents about 90 minutes af-
ter the shooting.
According to a Safe Schools re-
port fled annually with the state,
Brashear had 97 incidents involv-
ing 138 people during the 2012-13
school year, but none resulted in
a police response or arrests. For-
ty-seven students were disciplined
for fghting, the report said.

Tucked away just of of Jayhawk
Boulevard, theres a quiet, peaceful
place that passersby ofen overlook
every day.
Inside this quaint, limestone, red-
roofed building, the outside world
hardly seems to exist. Te only
sound heard is the unobtrusive hum
of the air conditioning. Te stillness
and subtle lighting create a quiet,
comforting spiritual oasis for stu-
dents, wrote John McCool in an
article for KU History.
Te building is the Danforth
Chapel, located behind Fraser, be-
tween 14th Street and Lilac Lane.
Te chapel was originally built to be
used by students for personal med-
itation and prayer, though many
people believe it is reserved solely
as a site for weddings, christenings,
memorial services and meetings.
Te idea for building the chapel
started with a meeting between Wil-
liam Danforth and KU Chancellor
Deane Malott in 1944. Despite the
country still being at war, Danforth
felt that construction of the chapel
should begin as soon as possible.
While this may not be the best
time for building, I have an idea that
our campus is ready right now for a
spiritual awakening, so I dont think
we should necessarily wait until af-
ter the war is over, Danforth said.
Danforths idea of a spiritual awak-
ening was for students to have a
place to go for meditation or prayer
that would never be locked or
darkened, wrote McCool.
When the chapel is not bustling
with the activity of ceremonies and
events, it is open every weekday
from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. for any-
one who seeks a peaceful sanctuary
away from the hectic pace of cam-
pus.
Over time, the chapel has moved
from being strictly Christian to
non-denominational, and rather
than acting as a place for formal
worship, is available for students
to decide how they wish to use it,
whether that is for religious prayer
or more secular refection.
Samy Mousa, a junior from Toron-
to, wasnt even aware of the existence
of the chapel until a few weeks ago,
when he stumbled upon it one day
while killing time between classes.
As Mousa walked down Jayhawk
Boulevard, he noticed the building
behind a tree brimming with fall
leaves, and decided to take a peek
inside.
He pulled the door open and
stepped inside, not sure what he
would fnd. Immediately, he was
struck by the change in energy from
the street just outside its doors.
It was completely peaceful, Mou-
sa said.
As he walked through the entry-
way into the main part of the chapel,
he slowly let out his breath, not real-
izing he had been holding it in, in an
attempt to prevent any disruption of
the quiet.
He took a seat in one of the short
rows of pews, and observed the
small sanctuary.
He noticed the tall, peaked ceiling
supported by dark wooden beams.
He looked around at the simple
white walls, stained glass windows
with intricate patterns of blue and
specs of red, yellow, and green, and
the carpet with swirling spirals of
lines and leaves.
Although Mousa said he does
not afliate with any religion, he
found that the chapel provided a
serene place to be alone with ones
thoughts.
I have so many diferent things
going on all the time, its like I never
stop moving or jumping from one
thing to the next, Mousa said. But
that all seemed to stand still. I could
just think about one thing without
being distracted by anything else.
While hes not sure if hell be able
to take the time to stop by very of-
ten, he said its good to know that its
always there if he feels like escaping
from the day for a few minutes.
I lef there feeling like my mind
was so much clearer, Mousa said.
I dont remember the last time I
stopped and thought about all the
things running through my head. It
was a chance to just slow down and
refect.
Danforth had ambitious visions
for what the chapel would become
to students, and chose to include in
the inscription in the front of the
chapel his hope that those who en-
ter may acquire the spiritual power
to aspire nobly, adventure daringly,
serve humbly.

SAME NAME, NEW OWNERS
THEATER
Te University theater depart-
ment is opening its show, Adding
Machine, on Friday. Adapted from
the original 1923 play by Elmer
Rice, with elements taken from the
1995 University Teatre produc-
tion, Adding Machine is a whole
new type of musical.
Its not your typical musical.
Its more of a dark and funny, yet
thought-provoking comedy, said
director Mechele Leon.
Te production, which lasts 90
minutes, features main character
Mr. Zero. Mr. Zero, played by Mi-
chael Wysong, a freshman from
Larned, has been working at the
same accounting frm for 25 years
when he loses his job to a mechani-
cal adding machine. Afer murder-
ing his boss, the audience is taken
through the exciting ride of Mr.
Zeros trial, execution, and journey
into the aferlife.
Mr. Zero is not the type of char-
acter youd expect to see in a mu-
sical. Hes grumpy, hes racist, hes
very much an anti-herobut he
makes you think, said Wysong.
Director Mechele Leon and scenic
designer Mark Reaney have created
a digital 3-D-like staging efect that
allows the audience to interact with
the production. Using projectors
and cameras, crewmembers create
a virtual reality on stage rather
than having the traditional built
sets.
It creates more of a game envi-
ronment than actual scenery. Te
projections change as actors move
and as the story progresses, said
Leon.
A live feed camera captures ac-
tors facial expressions of stage and
projects them on stage, allowing
the audience to feel like they are
inside the show, not just watching
from their seats.
Te cast is made up of nine stu-
dents, both graduates and under-
graduates.
Tey all work really well togeth-
er, said Leon. Tis show is real-
ly challenging to put together, but
their personalities have really come
together and they pull it of very
well.
Te cast has been preparing the
show for almost two months now.
Were like one big family, said
Wysong. Weve been togeth-
er since day one and weve really
grown close to each other.
Te show opens this Friday, Nov.
15 at 7:30 p.m. in Murphy Hall and
will continue to run through Sun-
day, Nov. 24.
Tickets are $18 for the public,
$17 for seniors and KU faculty/
staf, and $10 for students. Seating
is very limited so advance reserva-
tions are strongly recommended.
Tis production includes ofen-
sive language and it not appropriate
for younger audiences.

COMMENTARY
Wiggins isnt
only NCAA star
Andrew Wiggins has expe-
rienced some backlash the
last month from writers and
fans across the country who
built up his legend to a point
where any game under 50
points was a disappointment
and a reason he shouldnt be
taken with the frst pick in
next summers NBA draf (Im
looking at you, Jef Goodman
at ESPN).
He had a good game in his
collegiate opener (16 points,
three rebounds) but most
of the talk remained for the
other two freshmen high-
lighting Tuesdays Champions
ClassicDukes Jabari Parker
and Kentuckys Julius Randle.
Randle didnt disappoint,
fnishing with 27 points and
13 rebounds.
Parker was fantastic as well,
also fnishing with 27 points
and nine rebounds.
Wiggins struggled with foul
problems in the frst half and
played only 25 minutes on
the night. Tose 25 min-
utes though, were about as
efcient as you can ask for:
22 points, 9-15 from the feld,
eight rebounds, and only
one turnover. Oh, and when
he decided to guard Jabari
Parker in the second half, he
outscored him 16-8.
And unlike Randle and
Parker, it came in a winning
efort.
While Randle dominated
the ball for Kentucky, while
committing eight turnovers,
and Parker took eight more
shots than any other Duke
teammate, Kansas played even
with Duke as Wiggins sat out
with those early fouls. When
he played, though, fans saw
glimpses of a trio that could
surpass any other group in the
country by March: Wiggins,
Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis.
Te three underclassmen took
38 of the Jayhawks 57 shots
against Duke, scoring 61 of
the teams 94 points. Ellis shot
nearly 70 percent from the
feld and led the team with 24
points, while Selden played 38
minutes with 15 points.
And thats not counting
young players like Joel Em-
biid, Brannen Greene and
Frank Mason (who else was
shocked by Masons 15-point
performance against Duke?),
who have shown early fashes
of brilliance.
Te Jayhawks are deep is the
point. And while Wiggins is
the most talented player Bill
Self has ever coached and a
future NBA All-Star, he wont
have to shoulder the load
every night for this team to
make a run in the NCAA
Tournament. Luckily for fans,
though, he will most nights.
And it will be fun to watch.

W
ith the Winter Olympics in
Sochi less than three months
away, the U.S. pre-Olympic
trial season has ofcially started. Te frst
of those trials runs until November 16th
in Fargo, N.D., and showcases fve mens
teams and four womens teams competing
to represent America in curling come
February. Competition will be heated as
only one team from each of the mens and
women pools will be selected. While the
frst place womens team receives an auto-
matic Olympic bid for the U.S., the mens
team will still have another qualifying
round in Fssen, Germany. From Dec.
11 to Dec. 15, they will compete against
other countries hoping to claim one of the
remaining two spots in Sochi.
Curling is a relatively new Winter
Olympic sport, gaining medal status in
1992, but its history stretches hundreds
of years before that. Tracing as far back
as the 1600s, curling clubs began to form
in Scotland during the 19th century, and
the sport spread when Scots immigrated
to colder climate countries bringing their
beloved sport with them.
Olympic curling matches today are
composed of four players on each team,
with both receiving eight stones to deliver
throughout the game. Te 150x16 f ice
surface curling is played on is called the
sheet, and it consists of two scoring
zones called the house. Each house
has three concentric circles with a white
middle called the tee, and that tee is the
determent of whether a team will score
or not. During an end, which in curling
is a round of play, each team will have
two players deliver two stones. Afer a
stone leaves the deliverers hand, two of
his teammates are able to sweep the ice
in front of the moving
stone with brooms in
order to speed it up,
slow it down, or even
change its direction.
All of this is done in
hopes of placing the
stone as close to the
tee as possible. At
the conclusion of an
end the team with
the closest stone or
stones to the scoring
tee will receive the
points. Te match
is won by the team
with the most points
afer ten ends, and
if the score is tied a
sudden death end is
played to determine
a winner.
Odds are that curl-
ing wont be on center stage at
the XXII Olympics in Sochi with athletes
like Shaun White and global sports such
as hockey dominating the media and
headlines,
but its still
no reason to
forget the lit-
tle guys. Like
most athletes,
curlers train
year round to
proudly repre-
sent their country
in the Olympics,
so come Febru-
ary cheer them on
like you would U.S.
hockey or bobsled.
Te U.S. mens and
womens curling teams
arent favored to medal
in Sochi, but with some
extra support from fans
they could fnd themselves
holding a gold medal for
the frst time in U.S. Olympic
history.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

WOMENS BASKETBALL
Gardner leads Jayhawks to victory against Cougars
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
Early in the second half, Asia
Boyd found herself wide open
at the top of the key. She let her
fourth three-pointer of the game
go and watched it fall through the
net, for the fourth time.
Seconds early on the previous
possession, she hit a three-point-
er from the corner, en route to an
18-point scoring night on 6-10
shooting, including 4-5 from be-
yond the arc. Boyd helped the
Kansas womens basketball team to
a 72-56 victory over the SIU-Ed-
wardsville Cougars Wednesday
night.
When you make one, you want
to make another one, so thats just
what happens, Boyd said about
her shooting performance.
Chelsea Gardner led the team
with 19 points on 5-7 shooting
from the feld and 9-10 from the
free-throw line.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said
that against a smaller team, which
the Cougars are, the gameplan was
to throw it inside to Gardner.
I thought we were pretty oppor-
tunistic at times with throwing it
in to Chelsea, Henrickson said.
Sometimes we missed her.
Tis lef the perimeter players
open at times, and the Cougars
dared the Jayhawks to shoot the
long jump shots. Kansas connect-
ed on 6-18 three-point shots.
Kansas led from the beginning,
starting the game on a 16-2 run
which includ-
ed Boyds frst
t hr e e - poi nt e r,
two lay-ups from
Gardner and a
three-pointer by
Natalie Knight.
Te Cougars only
lead was 2-0 on
the frst basket of
the game.
Afer the Jay-
hawks jumped
out to the 16-2
lead, the Cougars
went on a run of their own, scor-
ing eight straight points to get to
within six, but that was the closest
they were for the rest of the game.
Te Jayhawk defense hounded
the Cougars,
especially ear-
ly. Tey limited
the Cougars
to 20 frst-half
points and
forced two
shot-clock vi-
olations from
the opponent.
Against the
smaller team,
the Jayhawks
were beaten
on the glass on
both ends of the foor. SIU-Ed-
wardsville had 43 total rebounds,
with 16 of them coming from the
ofensive glass. Kansas had 32 to-
tal rebounds.
Weve got to get on the glass,
Henrickson said. Weve got to get
a guard on the glass.
Starting point guard Lamaria
Cole had a productive night with
new career highs in points, steals
and assists. She scored eight
points, had six steals and passed
out fve assists to go along with
three turnovers.
Te feldhouse was loudest afer
her lay-up with 12:32 lef in the
game. Cole had a steal near mid-
court and raced toward the basket
and laid it in.
Junior Natalie Knight struggled
in her 15 minutes on the court.
She was ofen open beyond the arc
and was unafraid to shoot the ball,
but only connected on 1-9 of her
shots. She contributed three as-
sists and three steals.
Henrickson said she was pleased
by the teams efort, but there are
aspects to work on, including of-
fensive rebounding.
Our efort is where it needs to
be, from an energy standpoint,
Henrickson said. Tey just have
to clean up pretty quick, and its
about whats coming.
Our effort is where it

needs to be, from an
energy standpoint. They
just have to clean up
pretty quick, and its about

PLAYER TO WATCH
The Kansas offense is ugly. The unit hasnt scored more than 20 points in
any of its last eight games, but now that the team is entering the easier
part of its Big 12 conference schedule, the chance to break the nasty
spell isnt as bad as it usually is. And its likely that there will be a differ-
ent person to blame or applaud after Saturdays result. Weis has hinted
towards freshman dual threat quarterback Montell Cozart taking over the
starting role. On Wednesday, running back James Sims said from what
hes seen, he would think Cozart will start Saturday.
The defense has settled into a consistently performing unit for Kansas.
Its a unit that bends, but doesnt break. Theyve been the only chance
Kansas has had in some of its losses this season, but with some of the
worse offenses left on the schedule for the Jayhawks, it wouldnt be far-
fetched for the defense to force a handful of turnovers like it did early in
the season.
SPECIAL TEAMS
For starters, hopefully Kansas got its kickoff coverage in order. After allowing OSU to return the opening kickoff
for a touchdown in Stillwater last Saturday the team was deated. It was evident. OSU had scored enough points
in 13 seconds to win the 60 minute game. Aside from that, new starting kicker Ron Doherty went 2-3 Saturday,
missing his rst attempt from 32 yards. Not a surprising Kansas kicker performance.
Montell Cozart. Likely, the stage will be Cozarts for the majority, if not entirety of Saturdays contest. Unlike
Heaps, Cozart has the ability to make something of nothing. He converted key third downs last week with his feet
to extend drives. There wasnt much to show for it, but it was better. It also didnt help that Cozart was being
forced to run the option every other play. Last week, Cozart had to deal with repetitive play-calling. Because of his
running ability, has been identied as a dual threat quarterback. Cozart, though, has yet to reach the 50 percent
completion mark. Cozart may be able to take a blown up play for a positive game, but can he nish a blown up
season on a positive note?
AT A GLANCE
Kansas has seemingly gone through the motions of a football season in reverse order. The offense has gotten
progressively less productive, the defense has progressively allowed more points, and the team has a quarter-
back controversy. Going against one of the weaker teams in the Big 12 for the rst time in almost a month, this
week will be very telling of whether or not Kansas has actually gotten better as a football team.
BABY JAY CHEERS IF
Will Montell Cozart rise to the occasion? If there are still Kansas football fans around, they are wondering who
their quarterback will be next year. Theres another transfer quarterback coming, the shadow over Heaps is
getting bigger every week, and now theres a running quarterback taking the majority of the snaps. Cozart cut
plays back across the eld many times last week. Those type of players need condence. If Cozart can get the
remaining fan base behind him, it will be interesting to see if he snags the starter spot for the remainder of the
season.

The Mountaineers are loaded with skilled players at the running back
and wide receiver positions. The offense is based around running
back Charles Sims, who is the teams best runner and one of the top
receivers as well. Quarterback Clint Trickett can attack defenses deep
down eld and deliver the ball with touch.
QUESTION MARKS
Its still unclear whether or not starting quarterback Clint Trickett will play
on Saturday after leaving the game against Texas with a head injury. West
Virginia will have to overcome other injuries as well, but the question is,
can they overcome these setbacks?
DEFENSE
The West Virginia defense has given up a lot of points this season, 47
against Texas, 35 against Kansas State and 37 against Texas Tech,
but the Mountaineers have proven that they can force teams into
turnovers. Every one of West Virginias opponents have had at least one
turnover this season.
No longer can West Virginia count on the return yards of Tavon Austin helping them to good eld position. For three years straight, Austin returned at
least one kickoff for a touchdown. The Mountaineers have yet to return a kickoff or punt this season. West Virginia leads the Big 12 in average yards
per punt at 40.92 yards.
Charles Sims has the rushing ability of James Sims, but can catch and
get down eld in a hurry like Tony Pierson. Sims is an NFL prospect who
can be a dangerous player and used in a lot of different ways.
PLAYER TO WATCH
West Virginia has a 4-6 record on the season and is still looking to make
a bowl game, which makes the game in Lawrence a must-win for the
Mountaineers. West Virginia is coming off two straight weeks of hard
fought, tough games that both went into overtime.
AT A GLANCE
In his third year as coach at West Virginia, Dana Holgorsons team has been on a losing slide, going from 10-3 in his rst season to 7-6 last season.
This year, at 4-6, the Mountaineers are guaranteed to win no more than six games. Holgorson leads an offense that has strengths in the passing
and running game, and on runs a variety of different schemes on defense.

It was her second career start, but
junior guard Asia Boyd looked like
a seasoned veteran Wednesday
night in Kansas 72-56 win over
the Southern Illinois University at
Edwardsville Cougars.
With the Jayhawks struggling
to shoot the ball from outside,
Boyd came out fring in the frst
half, scoring the Jayhawks frst
fve points on a deep jumper and
a 3-pointer. Tis began a 16-0 run
for the Jayhawks afer SIU-Ed-
wardsville took an early 2-0 lead.
When you make one, you want
to shoot another one, Boyd said.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said
she liked the ef-
fort the team
played with, but
still feels there are
things that need
to be worked on.
I think our
eforts where it
needs to be from
an energy stand-
point [and] from
an unselfshness
standpoint, Henrickson said.
Tere are just some things that
we need to clean up here pretty
quick.
Te Jayhawks struggled on the
glass, and were out-rebounded by
the Cougars 43-32. Of those 43 re-
bounds, 16 were ofensive.
Weve got to get on the glass
[and] weve got to get a guard that
gets on the glass, Henrickson
said. Weve went too many halves
without perimeter players hitting
the ofensive glass.
Tough she was disappointed
with the rebounding eforts of the
team, Henrickson said she was
impressed with Boyds ability to
rebound the ball in trafc.
Boyd fnished with a career-high
18 points on the night, and also
set career marks of six feld goals
made and four 3-point feld goals
made.
Henrickson said she has been
impressed with Boyds develop-
ment into a starter, citing her work
ethic and her ability to be coached.
Shes a confdent kid, and we
have confdence in her, Henrick-
son said.
Boyd was not hesitant when the
ball found its way into her hands,
shooting it 10 times on the night.
When she makes good decisions
and does the little things, theres
no limit for her, Henrickson said.
Boyd said that in recent weeks
the team has been more conf-
dent in her, helping her to become
more confdent when she is on the
foor. She said she wants to feed
of of that and
be more aggres-
sive.
A career 25
percent 3-point
shooter, Boyd
fnished the
night 4-5 from
3-point range,
an eye popping
80 percent.
Its just more
confdence and repetition, Boyd
said, when asked how her 3-point
shot had improved since she ar-
rived in Lawrence.
On a night where junior guard
Natalie Knight shot only 1-9 from
the feld, the Jayhawks were look-
ing for someone to step up, and
Boyd did just that.
As a team, we have confdence in
her, junior forward Chelsea Gard-
ner said. Shes gaining confdence,
stepping up, making big plays, and
knocking down big shots.

In the summer of 2009, running
back James Sims committed to the
University of Kansas out of Irving
MacArthur High in Irving, Texas.
On Wednesday, Sims recalled call-
ing home to his mother almost ev-
ery day of freshman year wanting
to leave.
Now four years later, Sims is now
the third leading rusher in pro-
gram history with 3,119 yards.
But as a Jayhawk, he has nev-
er won a road game and has won
only one Big 12 game. Its been a
bumpy ride, and
now, Sims has only
three games lef in
the crimson and
blue.
Time fies by and
its really starting
to hit me now that
its almost over,
Sims said.
For Sims, the
situation can be
described with one of his favor-
ite words: crazy. His lackadaisical
utterance of the word isnt close
to embodying the emotions for
which the word is intended.
On Wednesday, Sims countlessly
said its crazy in regards to how
fast the time has fown and how
little of it is lef. But Sims variety
of experiences at the University are
almost too plentiful to be restrict-
ed to the bounds of crazy.
When Sims committed to Kan-
sas, he passed up on ofers from
Arkansas, Utah, and Purdue. At
that time, Sims was recruited by
Mark Manginos staf. On Mangi-
nos staf, and leading the recruit-
ing of Sims, was Kansas wide re-
ceiver coach David Beaty, former
head coach at Sims high school.
I had known him [Beaty] since
I was in middle school so I felt
like me coming here and him be-
ing here was good, Sims said. He
was like a father fgure to me so
just being around him I knew I
had someone around that I at least
knew, so thats why I picked here.
Ten allegations of player abuse
forced Mangino out of Kansas,
a coach that had taken Kansas to
bowl games in two of the last three
seasons. Beaty was out and took
the ofensive coordinator position
at Rice, but would return a year lat-
er in 2011 as co-ofensive coordi-
nator. Sims wasnt completely un-
familiar with
Gill though, as
he had recruit-
ed Sims out of
high school as
well. Te fol-
lowing year,
Gill was fred
and Beaty lef
to take the
wide receiver
coaching job
at Texas A&M. Ten, a big name,
Charlie Weis, arrived and was met
with expectations to turn the pro-
gram around almost immediately.
Te coach he was initially recruit-
ed by had success, and now, Sims
has only one more win (6) in his
career than Mangino had in his
last season at Kansas.
Its crazy to look at it like that
but thats reality, Sims said. Tats
the truth and thats what really
happened.
Comparing the teams results
with Sims individual success is
heartbreaking. In each of Sims
four years at Kansas, he has aver-
aged over four yards per carry. Its
a great statistic considering the
shakiness of the Kansas ofensive
line over the years. In addition,
Sims has 31 rushing touchdowns.
In all four years at Kansas, he has
been responsible for approximate-
ly one-fourth of all Kansas points
scored. Sims did his time and put
in the work.
Sims has NFL talent. Charlie
Weis has expressed his faith that
Sims will play on Sundays. Sims
refuses to think too far into the
future. Te thought of graduating
college is still a thought that hasnt
really resonated with Sims yet. Te
only thought on Sims mind right
now is a win.
I just want wins, Sims said.
Wins are better than stats.
But its not that Sims hasnt ac-
knowledged that. Wins talk. Tats
something Sims knows and has re-
iterated that the most of any play-
er wearing a Kansas uniform over
the past four years. And with only
three Big 12 games lef to play, the
chances to end the ugly 27 Big 12
loss streak and the 24 straight road
game slide are numbered. Te guy
wants to win. Hes long overdue.
But when he leaves, it will be just
as easy for many to forget his body
of work. When he leaves, Sims will
go down as one of the best run-
ning Kansas has ever seen, but a
tarnished program record during
his tenure may be all that fans see.
But through all the changes, the
ups, the multitude of downs, Sims
production on the football feld
has always been around. For him,
its a priceless experience.
Or as he likes to describe it, its
crazy.

Junior guard Asia Boyd led the Jayhawks to a 72-56 victory against Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.
Te No. 24 Jayhawks (19-6, 9-3)
had the midweek bye, afer they
lost to No. 1 ranked Texas on Nov.
9, to be prepared for the fnal seg-
ment of the Sunfower Showdown
against the Kansas State Wildcats
(16-8, 4-7) on Saturday at the sold-
out Horejsi Athletic Center.
On Nov. 9, four Jayhawks ended
the match with double digit kills
against a great blocking Texas
team, that averages almost three
blocks per game. Te girls hit well
and they were aggressive, but the
team made some crucial errors said
head coach Ray
Bechard.
We were pret-
ty relentless, but
if we did a better
job via serve or
pass that game
could have been
a diferent out-
come, Bechard
said.
Bechard was
talking about
the fve serving
errors, three serve-receive errors
and the three aces the Jayhawks al-
lowed. Te Jayhawks made a lot of
defensive errors, but the ofensive
game was working. Redshirt senior
outside hitter Catherine Carmi-
chael and her team high of 13 kills
kept the game close throughout the
match, however the 25 Texas blocks
were too much for the Jayhawks.
Carmichael hasnt played against
the Kansas State Wildcats this sea-
son. When the in-state rivals met
for the frst time on Oct. 2, soph-
omore outside hitter Tiana Dock-
ery, who led the team in hitting at-
tempts against Kansas State, started
instead of Carmichael.
We have three great pin players
in Dockery, McClinton and Car-
michael that we have a lot of con-
fdence in, Bechard said. For a
while it was Dockery carrying the
load, then McClinton and now
Cathy (Carmichael) has just been
playing at a nice levelWhen she
has been playing well, that elevates
Dockery and McClinton too.
Dockery, who was voted to the
2012 Big 12 Conference All-Fresh-
man team, hasnt
started a game
since Carmichael
has emerged as
the starter on
Oct. 19. Before
Oct.19, the rea-
son why Carmi-
chael didnt play
wasnt because
she was per-
forming poorly,
instead Dockery
and McClinton
were simply playing better volley-
ball, said Bechard.
It was McClinton and Dockery
playing at a high level and not that
Cathy [Carmichael] was bad, Be-
chard said. In volleyball, you get
into a certain rhythm and you get
into an ofensive rhythm and when
its going well you leave it.
Since becoming the starter afer
the West Virginia match on Oct.
19, Carmichael shows the Big 12
Conference that she can play. Car-
michael is one of the most domi-
nating outside blockers in the Big
12 Conference, said Bechard.
Kansas is third in the Big 12 Con-
ference averaging 2.61 blocks per
set. Carmichael is sixth on the team
with 26 blocks this season. Since
Oct. 19, Carmichael is averaging
.43 blocks per set, which is fourth
on the team.
Carmichael was held to only two
blocks against Texas.
She is playing comfortable, Be-
chard said. She senses that this is
her last shot at this and she obvi-
ously has been attacking at a high
level and she is a physical presence
blocking too.
Te Kansas State Wildcats are a
great blocking team as well. Te
Wildcats are frst in the Big 12 Con-
ference by blocking almost three
balls per set.
On Oct.2, the Wildcats were out-
blocked by the Jayhawks 20-18 in
a 3-0 Kansas sweep in Manhattan,
where Kansas State redshirt fresh-
man setter Katie Brand led the
Wildcats with fve blocks.
Brand is second on the team with

Kansas players confer on the court during the Oct. 30 home game against Baylor. The No. 24 Jayhawks will take on the KSU Wildcats this Saturday at 6 p.m.
Kansas to host Creighton
in Lawrence on Sunday
Junior forward Chelsea Gardner attempts to block her opponents shot during the
Oct. 30 exhibition game against Pittsburg State. Kansas won 85-54.
Kansas (2-0) will play its third-
straight home game when it hosts
Creighton (1-1) on Sunday. Te
two teams competed recently, as
the Kansas womens basketball
team met Creighton early in the
season last year and defeated the
Blue Jays in Omaha, Neb.
Current Jayhawk guards, senior
Cece Harper and junior Natalie
Knight, helped Kansas to victory in
that 58-48 matchup. Harper scored
10 points and Knight added nine
points and four assists.
Sophomore Lamaria Cole will be
counted on to run the point guard
position. Cole is known for her
speed and sometimes sped-up style
of play. Following last weeks sea-
son-opening victory against Oral
Roberts, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said Cole is still fguring out how to
use her speed efectively. Against
SIU-Edwardsville, Cole set new
career highs in assists with fve and
steals with six.
Junior Chelsea Gardner is lead-
ing the Jayhawks in scoring so far.
When she catches the ball down
low, she is efciently putting points
on the board. Trough the frst two
games of the season, she is making
71 percent of her feld goals. She is
also on the receiving end of many
fouls in the paint and has converted
86 percent of her free throws.
Guard Asia Boyd has emerged as
a scoring threat in her frst year as
a starter.
Shes done a good job, Henrick-
son said. As much as anything its
her work ethic and her coachability
and her discipline.
Creighton opened its season with
a loss against Drake, but bounced
back by edging South Dakota State
on Tuesday 68-63.
Sophomore guard Marissa Jan-
ning was not shooting the ball well
until late in the game when it mat-
tered. Her three-point basket with
48.6 seconds lef to go put the Blue
Jays ahead for good. Tat basket
was part of her eight-point spurt in
the fnal minutes of the game.
Janning had a team-high 20
points and leads the team in scor-
ing afer two games. Senior forward
Sarah Nelson had 16 points on 8-13
shooting, and junior forward Alex-
is Akin-Otiko had 13 points on 5-7
shooting.
Kansas might be facing a fatigued
Creighton squad. Before traveling
to Lawrence, the Blue Jays will be
hosting Minnesota in an afernoon
game on Saturday.
Its a work in progress, and we
will get back on it, Henrickson
said.

Wayne Selden, Jr., and Perry Ellis huddle with teammates during the Champions Classic on Tuesday. The Jayhawks defeated the
Duke Blue Devils 94-83.
Victory over Duke not
indicative of future play
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Aside
from sof drinks, there isn't
much at your typical college
basketball arena that qualifes
as kosher. Not the nachos, and
certainly not the hot dogs.
"Whenever I went to a game
up until now, the only thing I
was able to buy was the soda,"
said Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel, a
University of Illinois basket-
ball fan who wears a "Jew of I"
t-shirt. "You can't bring food
from the outside, and there's no
place to go."
So what are Jewish hoops fans
to do? Starting this week, they
can eat like anyone else while
watching their favorite team at
the State Farm Center.
Te university's Chabad Jew-
ish Center, run by Tiechtel,
has opened its own stand this
season and sells kosher dogs,
candy and drinks. Students,
Tiechtel and other volunteers
will staf the stand most games,
though they'll skip Friday
nights and Saturday day games
for religious reasons.
It appears to be a fairly unique
concession among college are-
nas. Te University of Kansas
has one at Allen Fieldhouse, but
half a dozen Big Ten schools, in
response to inquiries by Te As-
sociated Press, said they did not
have one.
Many pro sports arenas have
added kosher food in recent years
and some universities have kosher
student meal-plan options, said
John Lowenstein, vice president
of student afairs at the American
Jewish Federation in Chicago. But
college sports venues would be a
nice addition for fans like him-
self who are accustomed to doing
without at games.
"As someone who keeps kosher,
you want to go to a ball game and
eat and have fun," he said. "It's de-
lightful to be able to get kosher."
About 3,500 of the Urba-
na-Champaign campus' 43,000
students are Jewish, according
to Tiechtel. His brother Zalman
Tiechtel, also a rabbi, started the
kosher stand last year at the Law-
rence, Kan., school, which has a
signifcant Jewish student popu-
lation.
"We're the trend-setter here
afer we do it, everyone will do it!"
Dovid Tiechtel said enthusiasti-
cally. "I'm getting calls from other
campuses on the East Coast say-
ing 'What did you do and how did
you arrange it?'"
Tiechtel said they ran a kosher
hot dog stand during a U of I
football game, and were pleased
to have a few Muslims among the
customers.
Kosher can be complicated, but,
for the hot dog stand's purposes,
a handful of restrictions are most
important. For instance, meat
and milk aren't mixed, so you
won't fnd anything made with
cheese or other dairy products.
And only animals that have both
split hooves and chew cud can be
eaten, so pork, the most common
type of hot dog, isn't allowed.
Te hot dogs sold at the stand
come from Romanian Kosher
Sausage Co., a well-known Chica-
go meat producer.
On Sunday, opening night for
the basketball stand, student and
volunteers worked hard to pull in
customers during a sparsely at-
tended game. Te pitch, repeated
over and over as potential cus-
tomers wandered by: "Would you
like to try the best all-beef hot dog
at the State Farm Center?"
"Tey're excellent, just the taste
of them," said Cory Coker, a po-
liceman from nearby who works
security at games. "Tey've got a
good taste to them, good crisp-
ness, good stuf."

As Southwest fight 601 few over
the outskirts of Kansas City, Mo., a
familiar tune came over the public
address system. A fght song the
Jayhawk fght song to be exact
accompanied passengers as they
glided back down to Earth.
Tose who were sleeping were
certain their experience was no
dream. Kansas had defeated Duke
in the Champions Classic, if the
giddy faces of overly excited Jay-
hawk fans werent already telling of
the fact.
A loss for Kansas wouldnt have
meant much more than a tally mark
in the L column; a win makes it
seem like this is a team of destiny.
Reality says its just November, and
no one will make much of Tues-
days outcome until Kansas, Ken-
tucky, Duke and Michigan State
meet next year.
Te great thing about this is it
matters, but in the big scheme of
things it really doesnt, Self said
afer the 94-83 victory. We want
to play our best ball in February
and March and the teams you saw
tonight wont be the teams you see
later on.
Te game itself was more telling
of whats to come than what was
accomplished.
Some might have snickered when
coach Bill Self said Perry Ellis could
easily be the Jayhawks leading
scorer. Teres no laughter now.
On a night when Andrew Wig-
gins was supposed to take down
Jabari Parker it was Ellis - the least
hyped stud for Kansas - who essen-
tially matched Dukes star, point for
point and board for board.
Ive been on Perry to be more ag-
gressive, Self said. He was the guy
that kept us in the game and gave
us a chance to win it late.
It was Wayne Selden Jr. who
proved that he could handle play-
ing point guard at this level and
possibly beyond.
It was Brannen Greene who con-
tinued to knock down 3-pointers
and Frank Mason who provided a
spark of the bench.
It was Wiggins who skied for a
dunk to put the Jayhawks lead out
of reach, and in the most symbolic
way possible. As Wiggins went up
strong, Parker came in to contest
the dunk from behind only to give
Kansas freshman a shot at a 3-point
play. Parker had fouled out, walk-
ing of the foor as Wiggins swished
another free throw that could have
been the dagger if it happened just
a few moments earlier.
If it were up to Wiggins, he
wouldve started guarding Park-
er of the opening tip, instead of
taking on the challenge in the sec-
ond half. Te No. 1 overall recruit
pleaded with Self to take on his
media-anointed rival until he made
the defensive switch on the foor
himself. Te result: Parker scored
11 less points in the fnal frame
than he did in the frst.
I didnt put him on Jabari, Self
said of Wiggins. He just went to
guard Jabari. I should have been
listening to him the whole time.
Tats one of the beauties of col-
lege, even the professors learn
something new each day.
Kansas will continue learning,
because thats what teams do in the
early months of the season and at
some point, they will likely fall. At
least for a little while, Jayhawks fans
were fying high above the hype on
the ground.
If only the pilots on fight 601
would let them soar a little longer.
