@KansanOpinion Not being all bro-ey.
N
o one understands
the importance
of a library more
than college students. So
many things factor into
a good library: location,
hours, noise and snacks.
The list is endless. Here at
the University of Kansas,
we are privileged enough
to have several libraries,
but two really stand out.
Both Watson Library and
Anschutz Library house
a countless amount of
books, contain remarkable
resource centers and offer
dead-silent study rooms.
However, every person
has their favorite spot,
and both offer completely
different things.
Watson is the place I go
when it is crunch time
and I need to get things
done. It is the place where
I can buckle down and
finish my work without
distractions. If spotted
in Watson, I am alone,
tucked in a corner with
my face buried in work.
Everyone is there for one
goal, and that is to work.
Because the library isnt
open twenty-four hours,
students can be there
until closing time in order
to finish procrastinated
assignments.
To me, Anschutz has a
more relaxed study feel,
specifically on the third
floor. It is where I can
hang out with my friends,
enjoy a latte and tinker
with homework here and
there. In Anschutz, Im not
scared of dropping a book
or letting out a sneeze. The
chairs are much more cozy,
and the large wooden tables
make the perfect place for a
group study session.
However, on the first and
second floors you will find
an environment similar to
Watsons. These floors are
meant for quiet study and
independent work. But if
I had to make a deadline,
I would rather head to
Watson because the third
floor of Anschutz is too
distracting.
No matter where you
study, KUs libraries are
filled with incredible
and knowledgeable staff
members who are ready to
help whenever its needed.
I cant count the number
of times I have chatted
with the librarians about
research questions or
advice on particular books.
They are the secret to any
great research project.
Dont wait until your first
midterm to check out our
libraries. Take some time
out of these first few weeks
of school to visit Watson
and Anschutz. Introduce
yourself to the librarians,
investigate the stacks and
figure out for yourself
which one you prefer.

A
s a college student,
I have one sacred
place where I can
work off all my stress and
anxiety: the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center.
The rec is a place for me
to get rid of all the crap
that has put me in a bad
mood throughout the day.
However, the lack of gym
etiquette Ive seen during
my latest rec visits has left
me even more stressed and
angry. The rec is where
students go to get in shape
and relieve stress, but this
becomes difficult when
students lack common
courtesy for their peers.
When youre at the rec, try
to avoid taking social laps
at the gym. Running laps is
great, but dont just wander
around looking for people
to socialize with. You are
just taking space away from
those who actually came to
the gym to work out. If you
want to have a social hour,
go shopping, out to eat or
somewhere on Mass Street.
Throwing your weights on
the ground is another way
to disrespect those around
you. We get it: youre tough
and want everyone to know
it. But you shouldnt be
slamming your weights
to the ground. It is noisy
and distracting, and makes
it seem as if they are too
heavy for you.
Having your phone with
you is fine; everyone needs
a little break every now and
then. However, seeing you
take 15-minute breaks in
between workouts to check
Instagram, Twitter or other
social media makes me
wonder why you came to
the gym in the first place.
Your social life will still
be there after you get your
pump, I promise.
Last, but certainly not
least, is people who use
their water bottles to
mark their territory. It has
become popular to leave
your water bottle on a piece
of equipment that youre not
even using. Gym machines
are already limited, and its
a hassle for others who cant
use the equipment they
want because someones
water bottle is holding up
the line.
The rec center is a
student sanctuary for many
different reasons. For some,
its to get that revenge
body on an ex-girlfriend
or ex-boyfriend. For others,
its a place to relieve tension
and work through all the
unfair cards the day has
dealt. By considering these
etiquette tips, you can
maintain the gym as a place
where stress goes to die,
not an environment where
anxiety rises and grunts are
out of frustration instead of
exhaustion.

I
have never felt as
inspired by my fellow
students as I have over
the past two weeks. After
the articles about the
University mishandling
two different sexual assault
cases broke last week, I
wasnt sure what to expect.
I hoped for students to be
angry about it and to care,
but I was not prepared for
the absolute resolve that
many took in trying to get
KU to reform its sexual
assault case practices.
Through social media,
public forums and word of
mouth, we as students have
made a difference.
The thing is though, its
not enough. Not yet.
With the age of social
media, things tend to
go viral and then die
out quietly. People post
hashtags or sign petitions
and then move on with
their lives until the next
cause catches students
attention. There are
few times students put
themselves out there, not
as a Twitter handle, but as
their physical self.
Maybe thats why I was
so impressed by Columbia
University student Emma
Sulkowicz when I saw
her project in New York
Magazine.
During Sulkowiczs
sophomore year of college,
a classmate raped her in
her dorm room. When
she reported the rape,
Columbia dismissed the
case and she was left
without justice, forced to
continue attending classes
with her rapist.
For her senior thesis,
Sulkowicz decided to
carry her dorm mattress
everywhere she went until
she no longer attends the
same school as her rapist.
The idea of doing a project
like this was to bring her
mattress, an object that
usually is hidden in a
private space, out into the
public sphere. Much like
the mattress, sexual assault
is a topic often hidden
behind closed doors. It
is only recently that our
campus has opened up a
dialogue and really begun
to discuss the way KU
has mishandled sexual
assault cases. It is only until
recently that survivors
have told their stories and
that the student body has
paused to listen.
The dialogue has still
been behind closed doors,
metaphorically. Most of the
discussion has taken place
over social media, and
while people are technically
sharing their opinions
on the Internet, it isnt as
powerful as sharing an
opinion face to face with
another person. Sulkowiczs
project shows how much
power a physical and visual
representation can have for
sexual assault survivors. A
physical presence shows
a personal commitment
to the cause of reforming
sexual assault policies far
more than any tweet or
Facebook post ever can.
The public forum on
Tuesday at the Ecumenical
Campus Ministries was a
good start to approaching
this problem in a more
personal, present way. I
hope to see more events
like this that give students
a chance to step out from
behind social media
and really make this
cause visible on campus.
Hashtags and discussions
are great, but theyre not
enough, especially if they
stop now. This isnt another
viral video its the safety
of our campus. If we dont
show that we care, who
will?

Ike and Darlene Taylor have
been going to the Power of
Te Past Antique Engine &
Tractor Show in Ottawa for
about 10 years. Ike brings
tractors to showcase in a
tractor parade the festival
features. He has restored and
owns a few 1940s and 50s
tractors he keeps at their
home in Baldwin. Ikes oldest
tractor is a 1927.
It is [tradition] for us,
Darlene said. Darlenes family
started going with her father
to the show since hes always
been interested in antiques.
He was very involved in the
Ottawa show until he had his
stroke four years ago, Darlene
said.
Te city of Ottawa has
hosted Power of the Past
since around 1995. Tis year,
it will be held from Friday,
Sept. 12, to Sunday, Sept. 14,
at Forest Park in Ottawa. Te
events mission is to provide a
look into the past through its
diferent demonstrations.
Aside from tradition, Ike
goes because of his profession
while Darlene gravitates
more toward old trinkets that
vendors bring to sell. Ike said
its a good place to buy parts
and they have trailers full of
old tractor parts you can go
around and pick through to
get what you want.
I go just to see people
and mostly hen and chicken
things, antique stuf, Darlene
said. Tey have a fea market
there. I got an old creamer
there last year and its going to
be so cute whenever I just get
the time to paint it. Im going
to paint it bright red and its
got two bowls on it and have
fowers coming out of it.
Ike and Darlene are the
parents of Benton Taylor.
Benton has been going to the
festival on and of since he
was young.
[My grandpa] used to bring
a bicycle that was built for two
people and me and my buddy,
wed go and ride through the
park and stuf on his antique
bicycle, it was all rusted,
Benton said.
Bentons girlfriend, Becky
Ast, a sixth-year KU student
from Colwich, will attend
the festival for the frst time.
Although Ast did not grow
up in the same environment
as the Taylors, she said she
is looking forward to the
experience. She said growing
up, she didnt really know
anything about farming and
she is interested to learn about
all the diferent tractors and is
excited to see the parade.
As she begins in the tradition
of the Power of Te Past, Ast
also said she could see herself
going regularly with Benton,
who said he sees the festival as
a learning opportunity.
Teres a lot of displays
that a lot of the time you
have no idea whats going on.
If somethings running out
there, you go and you get to
learn and talk to people and
see if theyre shucking corn or
whats going on, Benton said.
Darlene said every year the
festival turns into a sort of
reunion for everyone who
comes, and has made it a
tradition just like the Taylors.
You get to the point that
your neighbors that are
beside you and stuf, you
start looking for them to be
back every year, Darlene
said. Its just really fun to see
them again, to see how theyre
doing and catching up. Prior
to going to the show, you
never knew them. Its great
to branch out and meet new
people.
Troughout the weekend,
guests can enjoy tractors,
antiques and food. Admission
is $3 per person on the frst
day, and children under 12
years old can attend free.

From left, Becky Ast, Ike Taylor, Darlene Taylor and Benton Taylor talk about their experiences with the Power of The Past Engine & Tractor Show. Ike
has been showcasing his tractors in the show every year for the past decade.
Harwell was the missing piece to offensive coordinator John Reagans spread offense. Harwell made
tough catches, and he scored twice, but in the second half, he only had one catch. For Kansas to win,
Harwell will have to be involved the whole game.
T
he Kansas Jay-
hawks are fresh of
a season-opening
victory, which saw the KU
ofense score an impressive
34 points. Quarterback
Montell Cozart connected
with wide receiver Nick
Harwell for two scores in
the frst quarter, and the
running back combination of
DeAndre Mann and Corey
Avery added 212 yards on
the ground and another frst
quarter score. Te Jayhawks
will need another strong per-
formance from the ofense
if they hope to be victorious
this Saturday against a Duke
Blue Devils team that has
averaged 43 points per game
in the frst two games of the
season. However, keep in
mind Dukes frst two victo-
ries came against the likes
of Elon and Troy, neither
of which is the caliber of
Kansas.
Despite only surrendering
30 points total through the
frst two weeks of the season,
Duke has struggled on
defense, ranking nationally
at No. 105 in total defense,
despite playing weak oppo-
nents. Much of this struggle
is because fve starting
defensive players from last
years Blue Devils squad
graduated. Te Duke defense
is relatively young, with only
fve seniors in the starting
lineup, three of whom are
new starters this season.
Tey have struggled to stop
the run efectively, ranking
at No. 72 in the nation for
rushing defense.
If the Jayhawks can protect
Cozart and efectively move
the ball against the Duke
defense, especially on frst
down, then Kansas has a
good chance at securing a
victory. An early score or
two will also help build the
momentum and confdence
of the Jayhawk ofense.
Another key to Kansas suc-
cess will be how well the de-
fense matches up with Dukes
passing game, which has
shown fashes of brilliance
thus far. Te Jayhawk defense
will have to fght hard not to
let the game slip away in the
second half, as they did last
week by surrendering 28 sec-
ond half points, 21 of which
came in the fourth quarter.
Te Jayhawks defnitely have
their work cut out for them
this week in Durham, where
Duke has won its past fve
home games and past eight
non-conference matchups.
Momentum will be the de-
ciding factor. Whoever can
get on the board frst and set
the tone will likely emerge as
the victor.
Edited by Alyssa Scott
I
n no way can Kansas fans
expect the Jayhawks to
come out of Durham,
N.C., with a win against Duke
on Saturday.
Te reigning Atlantic Coastal
Conference champions are
favored by 15.5 points in this
game, and it would likely be
much more if the Blue Devils
wouldnt have fallen to a 14-3
defcit against Troy in the frst
half of last weekends game
before coming back for a 34-17
victory.
Senior Anthony Boone is still
under center and leading the
way for the Blue Devils. Duke
is 11-2 the past two years in
games Boone has played in,
and hes totaled 515 yards and
fve touchdowns in two games
early in the season.
His top target is senior wide
receiver Jamison Crowder
a 5-foot-9 slot speedster
who set new school and ACC
records for receptions in 2013.
Coach Charlie Weis compared
Crowder to NFL veteran Steve
Smith earlier this week, and
called him one of the best
receivers Kansas will see this
year. Senior Isaac Blakeney
a 6-foot-6, 225 pound pro-
totype at wide receiver has
also emerged for the Blue Dev-
ils with three touchdowns in
two games, and may also cause
the Jayhawks some trouble.
Tough Kansas junior
cornerback Dexter McDonald
was so dominant in the frst
game with two interceptions,
two pass breakups and a Big 12
Defensive Player of the Week
award, it doesnt mean Kansas
secondary is ready for Dukes
passing attack, by any means.
Senior JaCorey Shepherd was
a liability for the Jayhawks in
their frst game and could see
plenty of targets go his way
in the teams second game as
the Blue Devils try to avoid
McDonald.
Weis expects Crowder to
lineup on the Jayhawks right
side with Blakeney on his
lef, which would match up
Crowder and McDonald,
though the Blue Devils will
likely move him around all
game.
If the Jayhawks cant shut
down the passing attack
especially Crowder it will
be tough for the team to
overcome. However, if the
same Jayhawks who were
showcased in the frst quarter
against SEMO show up, it will
be enough to keep Montell
Cozart and company in reach-
ing distance.
But afer three quarters of
disastrous Jayhawk football
against a much more mediocre
team than Duke, the type of
production the team brought
in the frst quarter shouldnt be
counted on by Kansas fans.

Harvey, Nurski meet
for US Mid-Amateur title
BETHLEHEM, Pa. Scott Har-
vey and Brad Nurski advanced to
championship match in the U.S.
Mid-Amateur.
The winner Thursday in the 36-
hole nal will earn an automatic
spot in the Masters next year.
Harvey, a 36-year-old from
Greensboro, N.C., won his quarter-
nal match, 7 and 6, over Denver
Haddix of Lexington, Ky. Harvey had
a tougher time in the seminal. He
won ve straight holes for a 3-and-
2 win over 2005 Mid-Am champion
Kevin Marsh.
This is where (the champi-
onship) I have put myself in my
mind, said Harvey, a real estate
property manager. I am where I
want to be and feel like I should
be. Hopefully, I can take advantage
of it.
Nurski had a more stressful day
at Saucon Valleys Old Course.
The 35-year-old from St. Joseph,
Missouri, won on the 18th hole in
the quarternals over Todd White
of Spartanburg, S.C. In the semi-
nals, Nurski had to go 19 holes to
beat Tom Werkmeister of Kentwood,
Michigan.
Getting to the nal two is an un-
believable accomplishment, said
Nurski. We just have to come out
and play our game tomorrow, stay
aggressive and make some putts.
This will be the rst USGA cham-
pionship match for Harvey and
Nurski.
