There was a lot of energy
and excitement on the part
of the staff, she said. It has
motivated me to do more 5Ks.
After [Harts] speech about his
health, I realized it was a great
way to push myself and get serious about my health.
Hart spoke after the event to
the group of runners about the
importance of keeping up a
physically active lifestyle.
Its not a race, he said. Its
about starting something as a
group and finishing as a group.
For those who dont do it, its
the first day of a possible new
beginning.
Jacques Green, a Kansas City,
Mo., resident, participated in
the race with a group of 12
runners from an organization
called Black Men Run. The organization, which competes in
different races nationwide, focuses on raising health awareness, Green said.
Black Men Run encourages
people to get active instead
of watching TV, Green said.
You have a feeling of accomplishment when you run a 5K.
Its a burst of energy that is different than after you watch the
third hour of a TV show.
Andrew Adelmann, a coach
of a Nike Run Club based in
Chicago, also helped organize
the event and said he was impressed with the spirit of Kansas City runners, including
those who came on Saturday
for the first time.
Everybody is an athlete, and
we feel passionate about that
core belief, he said. I was
part of a special pop up event
in Kansas City last year, and I
left that event with a renewed
sense of excitement. Hearing
that there were so many first
time runners, it was a super
inspiring performance. I was
really impressed with the hunger of the Kansas City running
community.
Hart has organized similar
events in Dallas, Houston,
Washington, D.C., Chicago,
Toronto, Atlanta and two in
Boston, according to his official Twitter page.

I feel like a lot of media today gives our students the impression that college is a really
great four-to-six-year party,
and thats not really the case,
she said.
The results of the 2013 assessment showed that students thought 94 percent of
their peers drank alcohol.
However, the research data
showed that only 74 percent
of students said they had a
drink in the previous 30 days.
The survey involved staff visiting large lecture classes to
obtain random samples from
student participants.
McKee said she tried to give
students realistic protective
behaviors so students stay safe
drinking.
This is real life with training
wheels, she said. There are a
lot of folks on campus who
can help individuals through
less than optimal situations.
Here at KU, I feel like we have
some great safety nets to help
you learn from that experience.
McKees advice for students
is to engage in more protective behaviors to stay safe,
like those on the Universitys
Buddy System website.
Some behaviors include being a good bystander by diverting intoxicated students
attention or offering them
water.
Sometimes, instead of offering drinks, ask how they
are, gauge the mood of that
friend," McKee said. "We
know that when an individual
drinks when they feel upset,
or lonely, or frustrated, they
are more likely to experience
those negative consequences."
McKee said going out with
friends and having fun goes
hand in hand with practicing
safe behaviors.
Its totally possible to have a
good time and to be responsible and safe at the same time,
she said.

EDUCATION
This year, the Emily Taylor
Center will be focusing on
domestic violence and sexual
harassment.
To educate students on these
topics, the center will host
events including Sexual Assault Awareness Week, a free
self-defense workshop and a
guest speaker, Leslie Morgan
Steiner, who is a domestic violence survivor.
We expect to continue to
provide important education
and services for our students
and our staff and faculty on
sexual violence related topics and healthy relationships,
Rose-Mockry said.
RESOURCES
A new position, the CARE
coordinator, was introduced
last year to help combat sexual
harassment on campus. When
students experience something that is uncomfortable or
harmful, the CARE Coordinator can help that person identify the situation and get help.
It helps students navigate
through the campus system,"
Rose-Mockry said. "In instances of sexual harassment,
a CARE Coordinator would
sit down with someone, [find]
out what they need and what
felt uncomfortable and [assist]
in helping that individual take
further action."
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
Rose-Mockry said student
involvement is key in increasing awareness about gender
equity issues. Students can get

OKANOGAN, Wash.
The massive cloud of smoke is
expected to lift over Washington wildfires on Sunday. But
as air quality improves, the
fires behavior could become
more erratic and intense, fire
officials said.
Its like a flue opening in a
fireplace, said Suzanne Flory, spokeswoman for the U.S.
Forest Service and the Rocky
Mountain Incident Management Team. Smoke serves as
a cap on the fire.
The Okanogan Complex of
wildfires was measured at 374
square miles Sunday morning, after growing more than
100 miles larger Saturday in
what fire officials said was a
relatively calm fire day.
Sunday was expected to be
a different story. Once the
smoke lifts, humidity drops,
heat rises and fires flare up.
The complex of fires was
estimated to be about 10 percent contained as of Sunday
morning, fire spokesman Dan
Omdal said.
Containment does not mean
the fire has stopped burning.
It means it has run out of fuel
to burn in that area, either because it has hit a man-made
fire line, a drop from airplanes of fire retardant, a road
or a lake.
Some of the land within the
fire lines is still burning, but
other sections have burned
out.
We call it a wildfire, but
much of the fire has been
tamed, Omdal said. We are
making progress,
The good news for Sunday
is that less smoke means restrictions on air travel will be
lifted and more fire tankers
can drop water and chemical
retardant, Flory said.
Air quality, which has been
dangerously bad, will also improve when the smoke cloud
lifts, but firefighters wont be
able to take a breather. We
tell firefighters, if you see blue
sky, heads up, Flory said.
Meanwhile, local officials
have downgraded some
evacuation notices, allowing
some people to return to their
homes. Thousands remain
under evacuation notices.
Sarah Miller, a spokeswoman with Okanogan County
Emergency
Management,
said residents have been
warned to stay ready to leave
at any time and to not drive
around looking at the fires.
People driving around are
getting in the way of fire operations, Miller said.
Steve Surgeon, a mechanic
and scrap-metal seller who
lost everything he owns except for his home on the outskirts of Okanogan, said he
was just happy to be alive.
He stayed in place as the fire

Ohio State ranked No. 1 in AP preseason poll, edging out TCU and Baylor
RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
POLL POINTS
2 The last two times the Buckeyes opened the season at No. 1 (1998 and 2006), they finished
No. 2.
6 Pac 12 has six teams ranked in the preseason poll for the second straight year.
8 It is the eighth time Ohio State is ranked No. 1 in preseason. Only Oklahoma has been rated
the top preseason team more times, with 10.
8 SEC has eight teams ranked for the third time, the most by any conference. SEC set the
record in 2011 and had eight teams ranked last year.
10 Ten times the preseason No. 1 has gone on to win the national title. Only twice, Florida State
in 1999 and Southern California in 2004, has the top-ranked team in the preseason poll gone
wire-to-wire as No. 1.
27 Ohio State has appeared in the preseason poll for 27 consecutive years, the longest current
streak and the fourth longest all-time. Oklahoma has the second longest current streak at 16
years.
CLOSE AGAIN
You might have heard that TCU and Baylor shared the Big 12 championship last year. It was sort
of a big deal. Well, the second-ranked Horned Frogs and No. 4 Bears are close again and both have
their best preseason rankings.
TCUs previous best preseason ranking was No. 6 in 2010.
Baylors previous best was No. 7 in 1957.
CONTINUING A STREAK
No. 3 Alabama is preseason top-five for the seventh consecutive season. It is the third longest
streak of preseason top-five rankings in the history of the poll. Florida State did it 11 straight times
from 1990-2000 and Oklahoma had eight straight preseason top-five rankings from 1974-81.
MOVING UP NORTH
No. 5 Michigan State has its best preseason ranking since 1967 when it started No. 3.
RAISING ARIZONA
No. 22 Arizona is ranked in the preseason for the first time since 1999. The Wildcats and rival
Arizona State, ranked 15th, are both preseason ranked for just the fifth time (1974, 89, 98 and 99).

DAILY DEBATE

Who is the top free agent the Royals should pursue this offseason?
high cost. Being the best
pitcher in free agency will
drive his asking price up but
being possibly the best player available this offseason
will make it even higher.
Last year, the Royals
werent shy about spending
the money on Alex Rios (a
one-year, $11 million deal)
and Edinson Volquez (a twoyear, $20 million deal). Thats
encouraging, although Prices
value might be a tier above
what the Royals have recently
dished out to free agents. But
if any position is worth the
money, its starting pitcher.
If the Royals can keep their
offense intact for the most
part, breaking the bank for
someone like Price is a great
Brian Mini
@DaftPunkPop
David Price
The Royals addition of
Johnny Cueto for the rest of
the season was a great move
to solidify the teams place in
the postseason. Unfortunately, theres a significant chance
that Cueto will sign elsewhere
next season as a free agent.
With that said, the 2016
Royals rotation still has the
chance to resemble the same
group that brought the Royals
to the World Series just last
season, even without Cueto.
Although there are one
or two contenders for the
star of the team, the Royals
could solidify themselves as
the future American League
Central favorites with an addition of a clear No. 1 starter. The best possible option
would be current Blue Jays
pitcher David Price.
The last two years had
James Shields and Cueto
headlining the rotation in
Kansas City. Throw David
Prices name into that mix
and he becomes the best
pitcher the Royals have had
in years.
Prices career 3.10 ERA is
an improvement on both
Shields and Cueto, and his
ability to strike batters out is
among the best in baseball.
In terms of accolades, Price
has been an All-Star in four
of the last five seasons. He
won the American League
Cy Young award in 2012
and has been one of the best
pitchers in baseball since.
As exciting as all of that is,
signing Price will come at a

Yoenis Cespedes
Disappointing at the plate
constantly, the Kansas City
Royals Alex Rios and Omar
Infante continue to separate
themselves from a stacked
Royals roster in the most negative fashion. As of Saturday
night, Infante has gone up
to the plate 31 times straight
without a hit.
Fortunately, the Royals
picked up all-around stud
Ben Zobrist earlier this year
through a trade. Zobrist gives
manager Ned Yost more depth
and an eventual replacement
for Infante at second base.
This leaves Rios, lowering
the teams batting average significantly, in right field. To
solve the batting issues, as well
as give more power to a low
home-run hitting lineup, the
Royals should pick up outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
and bring in the first true power hitter the Royals have seen
in many years.
After picking up ace starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, the
Royals rotation is set for the
rest of the year. Although another pitcher would be a luxury, it isnt needed because Yordano Ventura is catching his
feet and starting to perform to
his high expectations. Along
with Ventura, the Royals have
Edinson Volquez, who has
proved to be a top pitcher for
the Royals, giving them depth
at the starting position.
Speed and fines have been
the story for the Royals offense in the past year, and
replacing Rios with a young,
powerful hitter would prove
to be a monumental decision,
especially come playoff time.
With hitters like Alcides Escobar, Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo
Cain that get on base so consistently, Cespedes could bring
in some serious runs.

The team spent two weeks in
Europe, spending their time
training and learning about
the international culture of
volleyball.
We got to play everybody all
the time, Coach Ray Bechard
said during media day. There
were matches against the Italian National Team, which
thats one of the top 10 teams
in the world, and all the way
down to a couple other club
teams.
Aside from training in Europe, senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, sophomore setter
Ainise Havili and sophomore
outside hitter Kelsie Payne
were invited to train at the
United States Collegiate National Team program in New
Orleans.
They invited 36 collegiate
kids to train with great coaches and three of those happen to
be from Kansas, Bechard said.
They represented us in a great
way. Any time you get 10 days
of training, you play against
high-level competition, the
expectation is that you conduct yourself, you play hard

SCHEDULE STRENGTH
Not only does the mens basketball team boast a strong
nonconference schedule; the
volleyball team will take on a
tough slate as well.
Bechard said he felt that
Arkansas would be a top 25
team at some point this season, along with Duke, and he
mentioned that the University of Missouri-Kansas City,
Northern Colorado, Gonzaga
and Missouri State all have a
chance to win their respective
conferences.
Overall, Kansas faces seven teams that played in the
NCAA tournament last season
(Marquette, Texas, Iowa State,
Kansas State, Duke, Oklahoma
and Northern Colorado).
