ly mammogram picked up

"My immediate thought was

this is as early as it gets."
Suzanne agreed. She said
that once doctors did the
MRI, they discovered it was
larger than they previously
thought. The MRI also revealed she had three other
masses.
Had I not had [the 3D
mammography scan], they
would not have found this,
she said. Most insurance
companies dont cover it,

I spent.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer
death in women, according
to 2015 reports by the American Cancer Society. The disparity between breast cancer
in women is staggeringly
high compared with breast
cancer occurrences in men.

Requests by the Kansan for
the total number of complaints
reported between December
2014 and September were not
returned by the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. The office, referred to as
IOA, investigates complaints
of sexual harassment and
sexual assault at the University. Erinn Barcomb-Peterson,
a University spokeswoman,
said it would take significant
time to determine the number of complaints of sexual
harassment and sexual assault
reported to IOA during that
time.
In one of the latest cases, Student Affairs the office that
decides the outcomes of these
cases denied a recommendation by IOA for a no-contact
order. The student was found
in violation of the sexual harassment policy and put on
three months probation.
In another case, a student
who was found to have violated nine different policies, including the Universitys sexual
harassment policy and three
Student Housing policies relating to different types of harassment, was shown to be listed at
in good standing with housing and reassigned to a different residence. He was also put
on probation by housing.
Neither of these cases or the
others resolved by the University contain explanations for
the punishments nor details
about the incidents.
Between May 2012 and December 2014, the University
expelled respondents in eight
cases, suspended seven, and
put 13 on probation.
How the University handles
punishments for offenders has
been under particular scrutiny

While Cline who previously spent five years as a lobbyist for the University of Massachusetts has experience
in federal lobbying for higher

recently placed a lobbyist on
Capitol Hill.
Upon arriving to the University five years ago to find no
lobbyist in place, Vice Chancellor Tim Caboni made a
point to change that.
One of the things we did
when I arrived was take a close
look at federal relations, Caboni said. We knew that many
of our AAU (Association of
American Universities) peers
had offices in Washington,
D.C. That was not the structure [at the University] before
I arrived.
With that in mind, Caboni

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
An unexpected professional development changes
things. Provide leadership
over the next few days.
No stretching the truth
now. Temporary confusion
could rattle you if you let
it. Friends make good
coaches. A rising tide floats
all boats.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your wanderlust is getting
worse today and tomorrow.
Plan your itinerary and
make reservations in advance. Adapt for changing
working conditions. Manage your schedule carefully.
Reserve your strength, and
pack light. Simplicity saves

Haley Hapgood poses in her studio, where she works on her many paintings and prints.
this my junior year and realized that I still loved doing just
this little intricate work.
Now, the work serves as an
escape.
Its really peaceful for me.
I get lost in it its kind of a
meditation, she said. I can
just put on a movie and just sit
here and do this for hours.
This meditative state reflects
an important source of Hapgoods inspiration, which
draws on the work of her favorite artist, Wolfgang Laib,
who works with bee pollen
and rice. Hapgood uses Laibs
zen philosophy to relate to her
own prints when she creates
abstract patterns that cover a
large field of space.
Aside from her inspiration
found in other artists, her ultimate inspiration comes from a
deeper source: herself.
I personally draw a lot from
my own emotions. I draw a lot
from my mental illness. I deal
with anxiety, depression, stuff
that a lot of other people deal
with, she said. Being able to
share an emotion or a feeling
or an experience with other
people is really what inspires
me to make art that could do
that.
She added: Because Ill
hear bits of songs, or poems,
and even just like little bits of
words will kind of make me
Capricorn(Dec.22-Jan.19)
Get your message out over
the next few days. Choose
your words carefully, or risk
an unexpected reaction.
Have answers for different
scenarios and keep them
up your sleeve. Hone your
talking points. Let your
feelings show.
Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb.18)
Youre making money today and tomorrow. Its profitable if you avoid spending
it all. Stash some where you
cant get it. Pay bills and
buy groceries. Dont borrow
or lend. Postpone giving
your time away for free.
Pisces (Feb.19-March 20)
Youre coming into your
own, especially over the
next few days. Assume
responsibility. Ask probing
questions to get to fundamental issues. Your partner
helps. Make a logical
case. Use your persuasive
charms. Take charge of
your destiny.

Herbert pointed to this issue
as one that students should especially pay attention to. While
it may not seem to impact students because a majority of students are not property owners,
it affects anyone who pays rent.
Laws under these programs can
increase property tax, which directly correlates to the amount
students pay.
If students want to control
how much they pay in rent,
Herbert urges them to follow
along with the rental registration programs and voice their
concerns to the Commission.

RYAN WILLIS
FRESHMAN, QUARTERBACK
MASON RUDOLPH
SOPHOMORE, QUARTERBACK
Willis is the hot commodity of Kansas football right now, but he still turned the
ball over last week and made freshman mistakes when it mattered. Hes going
to face a ton of pressure this week from a strong Oklahoma State front seven,
so itll be important to get the ball out of his hands quick, but also not to force
anything. Thats a tall task for a guy in only his third career start, but its nothing
the record-setting freshman cant do.
Rudolph has been the Cowboys best player on offense this season with 1,892
passing yards and nine touchdowns. Hes shown his youth at times with seven
interceptions, but no quarterback in the Big 12 has more ability than him.
DEANDRE MANN
SENIOR, RUNNING BACK
DAVID GLIDDEN
SENIOR, WIDE RECIEVER
Mann seems to be the starter for Kansas, but its not set in stone. Whos in
the starting position depends on who does the best in practice, combined
with who running backs coach Reggie Mitchell decides to go with that week.
Mann seems to have the hot hand as hes coming off a 107-yard rushing day,
but it doesnt necessarily mean hell be the lead back.
Glidden leads a balanced group of receivers with 457 yards and three touchdowns
this season. Standing at just 5-foot-8 his size doesnt intimidate anybody, but hes
very capable of beating defenses with his speed and quickness. He will provide a
big test for a young Kansas secondary.
TRE PARMALEE
SENIOR, WIDE RECEIVER
EMMANUEL OGBAH
JUNIOR, DEFENSIVE END
Goodman was held without a sack for three weeks before breaking through
against Texas Tech as the defense exploded for five total sacks and nine tackles
for loss. Goodman tabbed a career-high eight tackles in the game and got up
to 4.5 sacks on the season. He has been the clear leader of the front seven and
warrants the most attention from opponents blocking schemes.
FISH SMITHSON
JUNIOR, SAFETY
Smithson continues to prove why he is the best player on this defense week
in and week out. He tabbed double-digit tackles for the third time this season
against Texas Tech and pulled down an interception in the end zone his
first of the year. Like Parmalee has been a security blanket for quarterbacks,
Smithson has been the security blanket for the cornerbacks thats the reason
he has notched so many tackles.
Ogbah, who ranks sixth in the country with 7.5 sacks, has been a force on the defensive line. At 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds, hes lived in opposing backfields with 11
tackles for loss and two forced fumbles this season, and he will present a difficult
matchup for the Kansas offensive line.
JIMMY BEAN
SENIOR, DEFENSIVE END
On the other side of the line, Bean has been almost as dominant as Ogbah this
year. At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, his size has given opponents fits this season,
where hes recorded a team-leading 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
JORDAN STERNS
JUNIOR, LINEBACKER
Sterns doesnt have the physical attributes of either guy on the defensive line, but
his nose for the ball makes him a very important player for the Cowboys defense.
His 56 tackles are 19 more than the next closest guy, and hes added two pass
deflections and one fumble recovery.

Injury update
Montell Cozart (shoulder) is

which means freshman Ryan
Willis will start again at quarterback. Defensive end Damani Mosby (elbow), cornerback
Brandon Stewart (groin), and
offensive tackle Joe Gibson
(ankle) are all probable against
Oklahoma State after missing
the game against Texas Tech.
Beaty noted that two other

Hey. @jacksonshane3,
did the "real" #kufball
show up on Saturday?

Well, it depends on what you
consider the "real" team. Kansas
came into Saturday as a heavy
underdog and for good reason.
The Jayhawks were winless and
had an inexperienced defense
going up against the No. 2
offense in the nation.
The Jayhawks deserve a ton
of credit for showing vast
improvements from the game
against Baylor to the game
against Texas Tech. After allowing 66 points to the Bears, the
Jayhawks held the Red Raiders
to just 23 offensive points, 30
total. Before Saturday, Texas

Shaka Smart Texas
New Texas coach Shaka Smart
prepares for his inaugural season in the Big 12 after leading
VCU to a 26-10 record last season. His adjustment to the Big
12 should be much smoother
with junior guard Isaiah Taylor,
who was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team. Similar to
Mason, Taylor could move off
the ball a bit more this season.
Isaiah finds a way to get off
the point guard position quite
a bit in practice, Smart said.
Thats because we have some
other guys that can handle the
ball and play that point guard
position. Hell start there unless
something crazy happens.
Taylor was named to the
All-Big 12 Third Team last
year, averaging 13.1 points per
contest. As a sophomore, Taylor
was 10th in the conference
during league play with 12.8
points per game.
Bob Huggins West
Virginia
The Mountaineers will have
the tough task of replacing
Juwan Staten, who led the team
in scoring with 14.2 points per
contest last year.
Juwan Staten had a perfect
career for us. I think the big
thing that well miss is the ball
security, Huggins said. Juwan
was one of those guys you
couldnt trap, you couldnt take
the ball from him, and he made
free throws.
For now it appears the teams
leading returning scorer, junior
forward Devin Williams, is up
to the challenge of replacing
Staten.
Williams was third in the
conference with a clip of 8.1
rebounds per game. He averaged 11.6 points per contest last
year as a sophomore good
for 15th in the league. Because
of his ability to score and crash
the glass, Williams had the
second-most double-doubles in
the conference with nine.
