mschmidt@kansan.com Going through the Underground at 12:15 p.m., Holt spent 14 minutes getting her meal seven minutes waiting for her pizza and another seven minutes spent in line to pay. The long wait is one of Holts biggest complaints about eating in the Underground. There are no lines to certain restaurants. Its like you gather in front of a trough to fight for food, Holt said. Its like they dont anticipate the rush. Holt said Jump was the only place that prepared for the lunch rush. She also found it difficult to carry her items without trays, which were removed in Fall 2010. Norris spent 23 minutes roundtrip shopping at his local Dillons, and another five minutes packing his lunch. Dividing his shopping time over five days, Norris would spend nine and a half minutes per meal, compared to the 14 minutes Holt spent waiting in the Underground. In a semester, Norris would spend 13 hours shopping and making his lunch, while Holt would spend 20 hours waiting in line at the Underground. And if one is short on time between classes, waiting in line for a healthy meal might be more difficult. The advantage that students have by packing their lunch is at times they might find themselves in a hurry and not have enough time to wait in line to purchase food, Sarber said.

lunch in the Underground may be easier, but it isnt always better for you
Steve Norris, a sophomore from Topeka, and Maria Holt, a junior from Pittsburg, Penn, decided to find out. Norris kept track of the cost, nutrition and time required for shopping and packing a typical lunch A turkey sandwich with cheese, yogurt, car-

rots and a banana, while Holt did the same for her Underground lunch a personal pan pepperoni pizza, breadsticks and bottle of orange juice. Both were astonished to find that packing a lunch was not only far cheaper and nutritious, but saved time overall.

For Norriss typical lunch, the sum cost of the ingredients was $3.11 with tax, which would amount to $15.55 in a week and $265.35 in a semester. For Holts Pizza Hut Combo, the cost was $8.05 with tax. At that rate, Holt would spend $40.25 in a week, and $684.25 per semester. In a whole year, packing a lunch would cost a student $1259.67. You could go on a cruise for how much you would save by packing a lunch, Holt said. Norris was surprised that the Underground meal cost almost five dollars more than his packed lunch, and said it was not worth the convenience. Norris is always looking for ways to cut costs, so he tries to buy food as cheaply as possible. I have to work for all the money I spend on food and rent, so Im on a budget, Norris said.

the expeNse

The calorie and fat totals for the packed lunch were 515 calories and 9 grams of fat, while the Underground lunch had 1310 calories and 41 grams of fat. Ive blown over half my daily budget of calories, and I would have to eat a very small dinner, Holt said. Holt added that she could have made the meal healthier by trading out her breadsticks for a banana, or chosen another place to eat. Ken Sarber, Public Health Educator at the University said some on campus eateries offer healthier options on the menu through the Better Bites program. Sarber also recommended avoiding soda and packing healthy snacks such as cherry tomatoes, baby carrots or grapes. For people packing a lunch, Sarber emphasized eating a balance of the food groups and appropriate portion sizes. Norris thinks most students do not base their eating decisions on nutrition. And while his lunch might seem bland, he can always mix it up with a variety of breads, meats, fruits and vegetables. Its a lot healthier, Norris said. You have more freedom and choice for what you want to eat.

the NutritioN

the Bottom liNe

Though surprised by the comparison, Holt still plans to eat at the Underground for lunch. Its easier to grab a lunch on the fly between classes and harder to fit a lunch bag with all my books, Holt said. Holt also said cold drinks, fresher, tastier food and the extra five minutes of sleep in the morning are worth eating on campus to her. Felix Sommerville, a sophomore from Lawrence, appreciates the convenience of eating on campus as well. The Underground is keeping me famine free since 2011, Sommerville said. Norris however plans to continue packing a lunch. I get where people are coming from, but its still a no brainer, Norris said. You could be a bit more social by eating in the Underground, but I can bring my lunch there and no ones the wiser. Edited by Andrew Ruszcyk

rsalyer@kansan.com For Becky Allen, a sophomore from Topeka, theres no tailgating or attending University home football games. She works every home game at Memorial Stadium instead. Allen has found other ways to celebrate the football team with her boobs. She took to Twitter this weekend to show her support for the team by showing off her #KUboobs. I dont get to enjoy the games like everybody else so its my way of having my own fun, Allen said. And she wasnt alone. The Twitter account @KUboobs gained more than 500 followers this weekend as it revamped for football season, the account owner, Kevin, said. He is a former University student who asked to only be identified by Kevin because he wants the account to stand on its own. But this year, #KUboobs is dedicated to more than just school spirit. Both Kevin and DJ Soap, the owner of the KU Boobs Facebook page, are working with other social media gurus to use the #KUBoobs trend to promote breast cancer awareness. With more than 7,500 followers on Twitter and more than 5,100 likes on Facebook, the two men hope to use their social media power to share breast cancer news and events. The first event they are promoting is the Amer-

Western civ may hit the road in 2013

editor@kansan.com The University of Kansas Core Transition Committee met Tuesday to discuss revisions to the general education requirements for undergraduate students, including potentially removing Western Civilization I and II courses. The committee spoke about the new interdisciplinary goals for general education, that will help students enroll in courses that better suit their major. This multi-year process will reevaluate several core classes to determine whether or not they meet specific criteria. Among the courses most likely to change are Western Civilization I and II and Humanities courses, which are required for all Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of General Studies and Bachelor of Science seeking students. Over the next year we will be evaluating the course reading lists, how information is delivered to students, whether to use large or small class sizes, and the necessity of requirement itself, said Professor Sandra ZimdarsSwartz, director of the Humanities and Western Civilization program. This gives us a chance to establish the curriculum for these two courses in relation to the Universitys new educational goals. A detailed criteria was developed by members of the Core Transition Committee and other campus faculty during the spring 2012 semester. The six educational goals, determined by KU Core, outline the necessary skills and knowledge that the Universitys core classes should encompass. There are certain skills we want students to have, and this process will determine if a class can be improved or changed to teach those skills, ZimdarsSwartz said.

ican Cancer Societys Making Strides Walk. The walk is Oct. 27 at Liberty Memorial Park in Kansas City, MO. We want to do some good with it as well as have some fun, Kevin said. Soap wants to play music during a tailgate at a home football game to encourage students to sign up for the walk and to make donations to the fundraiser. Ive always taken an interest in that kind of stuff, Soap said. Any opportunity I get to add my influence and name to a good cause, I do it. #KUBoobs will plan and promote other events throughout the month of October, which is breast cancer awareness month. Both Kevin and Soap said they thought the University is especially unique because despite other schools attempts to start similar trends, only Kansas has taken off. Its nice to know that we are innovators, Soap said. Its more of a testament to our student population and how active we are in social media. Allen said she had posted six or seven #KUBoobs pictures and plans to continue posting one for every home football game. She said she is proud of her physique and would like to see more women participating because its a fun way to show school spirit and promote breast cancer awareness. I feel almost privileged to have them because some women dont because of their fight with breast cancer, Allen said. So why not share the love? Edited by Hannah Wise

However, the possibility of removing Humanities and Western Civilization from the curriculum requirements has left students like Michael Engelken, a junior from Olathe, wondering how the changes could affect students who have previously completed these courses. If they change the requirement I will feel a little cheated, Engelken said. Those six credit hours could have been well spent elsewhere. Humanities and Western Civilization I and II, which are principle course requirements, critically examine literary masterpieces ranging from Aristotle and Geoffrey Chaucer to Charles Darwin. The courses aim to bridge vast periods of history through popular themes in Western literature. Though the future of these courses remains uncertain, no changes will be made to the general education requirements until fall 2013. Edited By Laken Rapier

CHARLOTTE, N.C. President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as bettersuited to an era of black-andwhite TV and trickle-down, youre on your own economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney did not offer a single new idea to fix the economy. There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were, Obama said in Iowa, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall. Yet even the site of Obamas convention, Charlotte, N.C., served as an unwelcome reminder to the Democrats of an economy so weak that it threatens his chances for re-election. The president carried North Carolina in 2008, but the states unemployment rate is pegged at 9.6 percent, much higher than the nations 8.3 percent and tied with next-door South Carolina for fifth from the bottom. Obamas convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker. The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening.

half century ban on veils ends

CAIRO A female Egyptian news presenter appeared on state television wearing a veil for the first time on Sunday after the Islamistdominated government lifted an effective ban that had been in place for decades under secular-leaning regimes of the past. The ban on female news readers wearing the Islamic veil had long been criticized even by liberals and human rights activists as an infringement on personal freedoms particularly in a country where more than half of all adult women cover their heads. However, it was the latest move by authorities under new Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to make sweeping changes in statecontrolled media. Just a few weeks ago, the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament or Shura Council, shuffled editors of staterun media and most of the 50 new appointees were either Islamists or their sympathizers. Egypts journalists union has accused Morsis Muslim Brotherhood group of trying to make the media its mouthpiece.

red Bull heir faces charges after deadly hit-and-run

BANGKOK A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an earlymorning hit-and-run, police said Monday. Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his familys gated estate in a wealthy neighborhood of the Thai capital. He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail. Vorayuth admitted he drove the charcoal gray sports car but said the police officers motorcycle abruptly cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, the lead investigator in the case. Bangkoks top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect. Comronwit himself led a team of officers to search the compound of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhaya, one of Thailands wealthiest men before he passed away this year, and confiscated a Ferrari with a badly damaged front bumper and broken windshield. The victim, Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, 47, was killed during a motorcycle patrol before dawn. Thai media reported that the car dragged the officer and his motorcycle for several dozen feet as it sped through the residential neighborhood. Comronwit said he suspended the police officer who attempted to subvert the investigation.

A policeman is dead. I cant let this stand. If I let this case get away, Id rather quit, he told reporters. I dont care how powerful they are. If I cant get the actual man in this case, I will resign. Vorayuth did not speak to the media but the family lawyer said the family will take responsibility for the damages. The Yoovidhaya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.4 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoovidhaya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate. The family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.

editor@kansan.com My prostate is asymmetrical, declares Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson), offering what passes for existential insight in director David Cronenbergs terminally literal adaptation of Don DeLillos social satire Cosmopolis. Such dialogue seems sadly appropriate for a movie so taken with its own entrails. Hamstrung by faux profundity and clunky, one-note performances, Cosmopolis represents a rare creative misfire for Cronenberg, the Canadian auteur best known for a string of venereal sci-fi classics and his 2005 masterpiece A History of Violence. Like the rambling half-wit cousin of American Psycho, the film aspires to reveal the inhuman void at the heart of corporate America, represented in the alarmingly pale personage of Eric Packer, a Wall Street whiz kid whose soul has been deadened by years of sex, marriage and other futile business transactions. Deciding that he really just needs a haircut, Packer embarks on a daylong pilgrimage across a New York City plagued by traffic jams from a presidential visit, the funeral of a popular hip-hop artist and an Occupy-style street protest. The majority of Cosmopolis takes place aboard Packers luxurious white limousine; its cerulean, coffin-shaped interior playing host to a revolving door of bodyguards, business associates, whores and a urologist tasked with administering the paranoid Packers daily prostate exam. Every passenger speaks in the same oblique monotone, pontificating on subjects ranging from the meaning of the word airport to the metaphysical implications of where all the limos go at night. This charming cycle is then repeated ad nauseam for nearly two hours.

Cosmopolis final rating:

The films actors struggle to give life to these moody, motormouthed marionettes. Pattinson, clearly eager to hang up the hair gel and vampire glitter, seems well suited to play the preening, emotionally stunted Packer, yet his lines often feel as if they were delivered between yawns. He showed far more promise in last years soapy but sweet Water for Elephants. Mathieu Amalric, Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton and a slew of other reliable performers duck in and out of the story without consequence. Only Paul Giamatti manages to make an impact as Benno, a neurotic assassin convinced that his genitals are receding into his abdomen. His scene with Pattinson forces the younger performer to reach beyond his usual arsenal of sideways glances and postured mumblings. Cronenbergs critics are quick to deride his films as soulless and clinically detached from their characters, yet his best work contains intimately scaled portraits of humanity, where moral corrosion is often expressed through physical decay and transformation. His celebrated remake of The Fly, released at the height of the AIDS pandemic, powerfully captured the horror of bodily betrayal with stark, unadorned sympathy. Cosmopolis, however, contains no human characters for him to engage with, only chattering archetypes with heads firmly planted up their own asymmetrical anuses.

Green Mile actor dead at 54

assOCiated press
LOS ANGELES Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in The Green Mile and such other box office hits as Armageddon, Planet of the Apes and Kung Fu Panda, is dead at age 54. Clarke died Monday morning at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being Clarke Duncan treated for a heart attack, said his fiance, reality TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily. The muscular, 6-foot-4 Duncan, a former bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s, suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered, the statement said. Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date. In the spring of 2012, Clarke had appeared in a video for PETA, the animal rights organization, in which he spoke of how much better he felt since becoming a vegetarian three years earlier. I cleared out my refrigerator, about $5,000 worth of meat, he said. Im a lot healthier than I was when I was eating meat. Duncan had a handful of minor roles before The Green Mile brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer with a surprisingly gentle demeanor and extraordinary healing powers. Duncans performance caught on with critics and moviegoers and he quickly became a favorite in Hollywood, appearing in several films a year.

Romney, Ryan shine at convention

he Republican National Convention was the first opportunity for most Americans to get to know the Romney and Ryan ticket. And despite the unnecessary criticism of an empty chair, the convention in Tampa was a successful one. While the Romney speech was the crescendo of the three-day event, as it should be, the convention was marked by several other important speakers. Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Chris Christie all gave strong speeches. Which is very exciting for any Republican, keeping in mind that these three men could all make a run at the presidency in the years to come. Ryans speech, in particular, left a lasting impression on me. His speech, while clearly a leadup to Romneys speech, was an unabashed challenge to President Obamas futility to steer the country out of the doldrums. He is wholly Midwestern and wholly committed to his principles. He mentioned his

hometown of Janesville, Wis. and effectively used its economic plight to tell the story of Americas economic stall in the four years of the Obama administration. However, the best line from the Ryan speech was one that brought the house to its feet. Our rights are given by God and nature, not by the government, Ryan said. We are owed our rights through the Constitution that we used to create our government. We, citizens of this great country, have granted the government the right to govern us; it isnt the other way around. As expected, Thursday was the main event. Former Governor Mitt Romney was expected to introduce himself to the American public. And following a strange speech from Clint Eastwood, Romney did just that. Romneys speech highlighted what will make him a wonderful contrast to President Obama. Contrary to his opponents style,

By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com

Romney doesnt enjoy talking about himself and displaying his character to paper over the cracks in his policies. Romney is unable to match the level of oration that our president possesses; however, Romney is a hard worker. Taking a shift in dealing with his corporate past, Romney highlighted how he helped build an investment firm into one of the largest in the country. And it is that history that truly sets him apart from President Obama. Romney has experience in getting companies off the ground, who better to lead us in these dark days of mass unemployment?

Romneys speech shed some light on what he plans to make the focal point of the last two months of the campaign. He is concerned with getting Americans back to work and contrasting his hardworking mentality with that of the souring rhetoric of President Obama. Perhaps the best line from Romneys speech was a play on a speech Obama gave after receiving the Democratic nomination. President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet, Romney said, to laughter around the arena. My promise is to help you and your family. And that is a perfect characterization of the kinds of men that are vying for President of the United States. Were in the middle of the most sluggish recovery since World War II, unemployment is stuck around 9 percent the true measure of the amount of Americans out of work, the labor participation rate, is even higher than

that and Americans should be concerned with how their leaders plan to correct things. President Obama wants to apologize to the world for our previous actions and secure lucrative opportunities for friends of the administration Solyndra anyone? while crumbling the rule of law. Mitt Romney wants to address our soaring debt, a point in which Romney correctly criticized Obamas predecessor, and get Americans back to work. Both presidential hopefuls are campaigning their plans; however, only one of them has four years of mistakes and failed policies to answer to. Romney has a history as someone who creates jobs and builds companies, Obama has a history as a community activist and criticizing Americas entrepreneurs.

overcoming the myth of bad timing

ere constantly making excuses for our relationships or lack thereof. Even when we know something is wrong, we dont want to face it. And consequently, we fool ourselves into believing ridiculous ideas to protect our hearts and then get caught in a haze of delusion that can get so thick it can leave us blind. Excuses like hes just busy or shes about to leave him, I can tell are obvious. But one that isnt as easily identified is bad timing. Point blank, its a myth. And you shouldnt buy it. Kevin was friendly, sociable, and totally gorgeous. He seemed great, but my timing wasnt. Just days before I met him, my then-boyfriend and I became official. Our relationship wasnt very strong, but it lasted the rest of the semester and into the next school year. So between Kevin and I, there was nothing. As the semester wore on, my feelings subsided, so I just let it be. Occasionally I would wonder about it again when my relationship with my boyfriend got rocky, but I never pursued Kevin. Then we eventually lost contact, and that was it. People say that even if a relationship could be good, bad timing could ruin the whole thing. But timing is never actually a deal-breaker. Already being in a relationship was inconvenient with Kevin, but if love really conquers all, I would have dumped my new boyfriend and taken a chance in confessing to Kevin. But then I didnt. And in the end what I had with my beau was just lust anyway. However, I still wasnt willing to gamble with a new guy after hitting the jackpot with another. Not about to take a risk and put all I had into Kevin, my heart pressed Cash Out, and my boyfriend and I kept dating. I didnt think the odds were good with Kevin in the first place, so I backed out when I could and kept my winnings at least for a while. In dating, the issue of bad timing is rarely a single occurrence. Bad timing is common, but its frequency trains people to believe that its just an inconvenient coin-

e all grew up watching the great road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong, or The Boss, or Big Tex. Some of you may even have a personal connection with him being he is from the Dallas, TX area. He has been an American hero for so many years and he has become one of our generations greatest athletes. Armstrong won seven Tour de France titles in a row from 19982005. He is a cycling world champion and a US national cycling champion. But he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996 and many thought his career was over. He was able to treat his cancer and become arguably the best cyclist ever. And every American loved him. There is just one problem to this heroic story: he was accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs, which is against the rules of being a road racing cyclist. He is accused of cheating and just recently gave up his fight to prove his innocence. With these allegations against him, where exactly is Lance Armstrongs position in American society now? Is he still an American hero or just a plain cheater? Did

he take the steroids to help him get back on track after the cancer or were his intentions to cheat just to become the best? It is kind of hard to have respect for cheaters, especially when they cheated to win most of their titles. Armstrong didnt just cheat for himself but he allegedly distributed doping products to others for their own use. He didnt take his career seriously and he skewed the final results to many big time races. Some may argue that he is now looked at as a cheater rather than an American icon. Others still have respect for him and still look at Armstrong as a hero. Some might argue that he should keep all of these records and titles. Barry Bonds was accused of taking steroids while playing

professional baseball and still holds the homerun record. And Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader, has been accused of betting on baseball, which is also against the rules. But they both still hold their records today. If they can keep their accomplishments shouldnt Lance keep his? Well, the United States AntiDoping Agency disagrees. The USADA decided to strip the current all time Tour de France record holder of his accomplishments. He has been sanctioned of all the results he recorded from 1998-today. I guess in the end you can look at Lance Armstrong as a hero and a cheater. He is a hero to some because he beat his cancer and then went on to make something of himself, but as an athletes point of view he is still a cheater. I think his foundation, LiveStrong, will live on but considering him a great cyclist is likely ruined. So I guess the decision is up to you, is he still an American icon or is his legacy completely disintegrated? Carroll is a junior majoring in English from Salem, Conn.

cidence rather than something we use as an excuse to not take the plunge and enter a new relationship, especially when we already have one like I did. By no means am I denying that bad timing can be a barrier. Sometimes people are already in relationships. Sometimes people are about to move. I get that. But its important to honestly evaluate the reasons why those elements are really stopping us from dating someone. The truth hurts, but its better than scrambling for an excuse like timing to not date someone. Being able to rationalize feelings is crucial, and we all need to learn to take the heat. Itll save us time and angst. After over two years with no contact, I recently ran into Kevin at a bar. He looked exactly the same as he did when we were sophomores: tall and skinny with tennis shoes, a nice watch and a quirky smile. He said he was moving to South America and only had a week left in Lawrence, so we planned to see each other one more time. A few days later we wound up downtown again. Kevin and I stayed out late having a four-hour conversation, and it was if we hadnt lost contact in the first place. This time I had a different boyfriend. When Kevin left I thought about how I never seemed to run into him at the right time. I smiled and laughed at the idea and wondered if anything would have happened two years ago if I wasnt dating someone already, and also if I had the courage to say something.. But this time it didnt matter, because I was in love with my current, and my timing with him was just perfect. Keith is a graduate student in education from Wichita.

Obama speaks in Iowa ahead of DNC university hires new

ASSocIAtED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as bettersuited to an era of black-andwhite TV and trickle-down, youre on your own economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney did not offer a single new idea to fix the economy. There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were, Obama said in Iowa, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall. Yet even the site of Obamas convention, Charlotte, N.C., served as an unwelcome reminder to the Democrats of an economy so weak that it threatens his chances for re-election. The president carried North Carolina in 2008, but the states unemployment rate is pegged at 9.6 percent, much higher than the nations 8.3 percent and tied with next-door South Carolina for fifth from the bottom. Obamas convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker. The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening. Obamas prime-time acceptance speech, to be delivered at the outdoor Bank of America Stadium, caps the convention on Thursday night. Aides predict a capacity crowd will hear

President Barack obama speaks during a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Saturday. The Democratic National Convention began yesterday in Charlotte, N.C. the speech at the site, which has a capacity of nearly 74,000 for football. Democrats are taking their turn in the convention spotlight just days after the Republicans met in Tampa, Fla., to nominate former Massachusetts Gov. Romney for the White House and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be vice president. A parade of speakers in Tampa excoriated Obamas handling of the economy, which is struggling in the weakest recession recovery of the post-World War II era. The economy has been the top-rated issue in opinion polls all year, and the president is eager to turn the focus onto Romney on that subject. Republicans will take us backwards, Obama said, to the age of trickle-down, youre on your own economics that begin with tax cuts for the rich but tax increases for the middle class. The president made a brief detour to foreign policy in his speech. Gov. Romney had nothing to say about Afghanistan this week or the plans for the 33,000 troops who will have come home from the war by the end of this month, he said. The Republican challenger said ending the war in Iraq was tragic. I said wed end that war and we did, Obama said. Romney said late last year, in a veterans roundtable, The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. Its more than unfortunate, I think its tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard won by the men and women who served there. Obama, pointing to successes, declared, I said wed take out bin Laden and we did. His audience cheered the mention of the demise of the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, who was killed in his hideout in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs last year. Obama ordered the raid, and even Republicans credit him for the decision. Romney campaigned in Ohio during the day the opening of the college football season and proclaimed it was time the country had a winning season after years of a sluggish economy and high unemployment. Referring to the number of jobless in the country, Romney told his own cheering crowd, If you have a coach thats zero and 23 million, you say its time to get a new coach. He also pledged to cut the federal deficit and get us on track for a balanced budget.

CARLToN, Minn. A Minnesota casino has cooked up a world-record bacon cheeseburger thats 10 feet in diameter and weighs more than a ton. The behemoth burger was served up Sunday at the Black Bear Casino Resort

near Carlton. It tipped the scales at 2,014 pounds. Guinness Records representative Philip Robertson verified the record for biggest burger. He called the feat a result of remarkable teamwork and said the burger actually tastes really good. A Duluth News Tribune report says the

previous mark was a mere 881 pounds, 13 ounces. Black Bears burger included 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of lettuce, 50 pounds of sliced onions, 40 pounds of pickles and 40 pounds of cheese. It took about four hours to cook the patty. A crane was used to flip it.

Search continues in child molestation case

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Federal investigators believe there could be more victims of child molestation in the Kansas City area after a second man was charged as part of an international child pornography ring. Homeland Security Investigations special agent Gary Hartwig says the arrest of 38-year-old Michael Arnett in May prompted others to come forward and accuse 38-year-old Robert Poe III of molesting them. Poe was arrested Aug. 10 in Laredo, Texas, on three counts of traveling to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity. Prosecutors say Poe was a close friend of Arnett, who is facing federal charges of making, possessing and distributing child pornography. A phone message left for Poes attorney over the Labor Day weekend wasnt immediately returned.

Lawrence pooches take a plunge in the pool

GEoffREY cALVERt
gcalvert@kansan.com Lawrence residents are used to the shouts and laughter of children at the swimming pool, but on Friday night, childrens laughter was replaced by something else barking dogs. Lawrence dog owners refuse to let the fallout from Hurricane Isaac stop them from attending the annual Pooch Plunge at the Lawrence Aquatic Center Friday afternoon. Hundreds of dogs and their owners attended the event, which occurs every year on Labor Day Weekend when the pool closes for the year. The Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center invited dog owners to bring their pets to the pool on the final evening before it closes for the season during their 10th annual Pooch Plunge. Last year, 350 dogs participated in the event. Rachel Sullivan, the pools aquatics programmer, said this years goal was 400 dogs. Although a steady rain lowered the total to 189 dogs this year, Sullivan said she was happy with the turnout. Holley Ritchie said this is the second year she brought her 3-yearold Spanish water dog, Chema, to the event. Hell actually go under the water and find the Frisbee, Ritchie said of Chemas favorite game, which they play every night. Hes

She bought her dog two days after the Jayhawks 2008 NCAA tournament championship, so she named it in honor of a Kansas basketball legend. Her full name is Mary O.

Lawrence 10 years ago, when the city manager heard about another city hosting a pooch plunge. Sullivan said the pool is treated to make it safe for dogs. They actually take the chlorine levels down to have less chlorine than drinking water does so that it is safe for the dogs, Sullivan said. The Lawrence Humane Society brought a few of dogs that were eligible for adoption to the plunge. The program, which is a no-kill organization, takes dogs from the

hurricane Isaac further batters storm stricken coast

ASSocIAtED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS Much of a finger-shaped parish southeast of New Orleans was still covered with floodwater Sunday and more than 200,000 people across Louisiana still didnt have any power, five days after Isaac ravaged the state. Thousands of evacuees remained at shelters or bunked with friends or relatives. My family is split up, said Angela Serpas, from severely flooded Braithwaite in Plaquemines Parish. Serpas and her daughter were staying with her in-laws while her husband and son were staying in Belle Chasse, a suburban area of the parish. This is the second time weve lost our home. We lost it in Katrina, she said. At least seven people were killed in the storm in the U.S. five in Louisiana and two in Mississippi. More than 2,800 people were registered at various state, local and Red Cross shelters in the state, down from around 4,000 earlier. State officials were uncertain how many people would eventually need longer-term temporary housing. Kevin Davis, head of the states emergency office, said that housing would likely include hotels at first, then rental homes as close as possible to their damaged property. President Barack Obama was to visit Louisiana Monday, a day ahead of the Democratic National Convention. He will meet with local officials, tour storm damage and view response and recovery efforts before addressing reporters at Saint John the Baptist Parish, the White House said. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited the state Friday. Obamas Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, visited Bay St. Louis, Miss., and Slidell, La., on Sunday. We are part of a team to make sure Hurricane Isaac is put to rest as soon as we can for all those affected, Napolitano said. In the meantime, please know all of us are thinking about those in Louisiana who are without their homes or without their businesses. Progress was evident in many places.

Synchronized Swimming For what will be 17 NFL seasons, Ray Lewis has been the most intimidating and hardest hitting linebacker in the league. Theres not a scarier player in the game. If you were to ask me to name one player that I could never see wearing a Speedo and doing a choreographed routine in a pool, he would be my pick. I can almost guarantee it wouldnt look very good, but man, would it be funny.

Track & Field Billy Hamilton recently broke the record for most steals in a minor league season with 146. He now has 154 stolen bases through 128 games, and theres still plenty of season left. With his speed and acceleration, hell be one of the fastest players in Major League Baseball when he gets called up from AA. I want to see what this guy can do when he doesnt have to stop every time he reaches a base.

Volleyball Its pretty obvious Giancarlo Stanton would be good at whatever sport he plays, especially basketball or football. There are few players out there that can hit a home run as far as he can. With the size, power, and speed he showcases on the field every day, I think hed make for a pretty good volleyball player too. I wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of a Stanton spike.

Baseball Obviously speed is the biggest and only factor, in wanting to see him on a baseball diamond. I dont care if he cant hit, throw or field just use him in pinch running situations. Not only could he get into scoring position every time, his team would never hit into a double play again. Thats because before the pitcher lets go of the ball, Bolt would already be on second base. Talk about a threat on the base paths. Edited by Luke Ranker

Jayhawks shutout Creighton in Fridays game

Nicole evANs
nevans@kansan.com Relentless rainfall, strong winds and questionably-absent whistles from the referees all played factors in Fridays game against Creighton, but none of them were strong enough to deter the will and perseverance of the Jayhawks, as they came out on top 3-0. The match marked the third straight victory at home for the Jayhawks, improving their record to 4-1 on the season. The victory was also a milestone for head coach Mark Francis, as the match was his 150th career win with the Jayhawks. It also was the third shutout in a row for senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and the team, a feat Kansas has not completed since the 2009 season. We got a shutout and thats what we wanted. We knew we had to be solid back there with the conditions, so were really proud of that, said senior defender/midfielder Shelby Williamson. Defensively, the team was a brick wall, allowing Creighton only four attempts on goal. Liebetrau had to stop a single shot to secure the 11th shut-out of her career. After the match both Williamson and coach Francis mentioned how important getting shutouts were for the team, as they struggled last season with giving up goals. One of the things we focused on coming into the season, we had to make sure we didnt give up as many goals as we did last year, Francis said. We dodged a couple today, but we didnt give them that many chances, which I think that is the key. The play offensively by the Jayhawks was also sound despite the rough elements thrown at them, as the team came out fast and relentless to begin the game. It took four minutes of consistently hounding Creightons goal before freshman forward Ashley Williams would capitalize on an opportunity presented from senior midfielder Amy Grow. It was the lone goal of the first half for Kansas. Yet Kansas was able to create many scoring opportunities, with 17 shots on goal in the first half alone. The Jayhawks had 26 shots total on the night, proving that their offensive was an unwavering positive factor in the game, although it took longer for their efforts to pay off in the second half. The beginning of the second half, we were a little bit slow getting our rhythm back, because I thought in the first half, we did a great job getting the ball. Really, our midfield is the key, Francis said. Once that midfield starts controlling the tempo of the game, we start to get our rhythm back. Williams continued her impact in the game and helped spark her team back to life in the second half after firing off a cross from the far side of the box during the 52nd minute. Junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor tipped in the ball, netting another goal to put Kansas ahead 2-0. The second half became more physical as the match went on. Players from both sides committed fouls out of frustration that more often than not were not called by the officiating staff, much to the dismay and disbelief of the Kansas bench. However, nothing would stand in the way of another Kansas victory, as Williams would be involved again in scoring the third and final goal of the game. Williams finished the game by finishing a cross from senior forward Nicole Chrisopulous late in the game at the 86th minute. Edited by Laken Rapier

Players earn tournament honors at Invitational

GEoffREY cALVERt
gcalvert@kansan.com For the first time this year, four Kansas Jayhawks recorded at least 10 kills in a single match, helping the Jayhawks beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves 3-1 in the title match of the Kansas Volleyball Invitational. Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the Jayhawks with 16 kills, tying a career high. She finished the tournament with 45 kills and 16 block assists, earning her tournament MVP honors. Its great playing at home, and I just get a lot of energy when were at home, Jarmoc said. Sometimes I have good offensive days and sometimes good defensive days, so I tried to work at both and get my feet and work hard. The Jayhawks led the first set by only two points, 20-18, but finished on a 5-1 run, capped by Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton combining to block an Arkansas State attempt. Kansas didnt lead in the second set until a kill by Jarmoc put them ahead 17-16. Kansas failed to convert set points twice, but they also fought off an Arkansas State set point three times. Momentum turned when junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael came up to serve. Carmichael had never served a live ball in collegiate play until this weekend when the Jayhawks ran out of substitutions in the fourth set against Tulsa, forcing her to serve.

We had total chaos the last three or four points from players who hadnt served in a live match in years to players who hadnt played the positions they were playing, Bechard said. Cathy Carmichael will be the first to tell you that she hasnt served a live ball since shes been a Jayhawk and this is her fourth year. Against Tulsa, Kansas got careerhighs from McNorton with 57 assists, McClinton with 22 kills and Carmichael with 16 kills. In their opening match against Sam Houston State on Friday afternoon, Jarmocs career-high 16 kills helped Kansas win 3-0. The Jayhawks came back from late deficits in the first two sets. After three lead changes and seven ties, including one at 22-22, Kansas took the first set 25-23. The Jayhawks trailed again in the second set, 21-18, but four kills from Jarmoc gave Kansas a 24-21 advantage. They won the set 25-22. The third set was all Kansas, as they closed out the Bearkats 25-15. Kansas plays again tonight at 6:30 p.m. against UMKC at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Edited by Emma McElhaney

Jayhawks keep control, sweep bob timmons Classic

MAX GooDWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com The Kansas cross country teams, both men and women, accomplished what they set out to do at their home course on Saturday in the Bob Timmons Classic. As the first mens Jayhawk runners approached the finish line of the Rim Rock Farm course they appeared just as assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said he wanted them to before the race as a pack.Four runners, a half of a second separating all of them. Senior Josh Baden at the front, followed by sophomore Reid Buchanan, sophomore James Wilson and freshman Gabe Gonzalez just behind him. A pack so tight that the front four could have tripped over each others feet. The team finished with an average of 20:04 minutes for the 6k race, 44 seconds faster than second place UMKC. Two and a half minutes faster than third place Oral Roberts. The Kansas men were in control from beginning to end. Really ran controlled today, Whittlesey said after the meet. That was our goal: to run together and keep control of this race. Im really proud of them with the way they ran, especially the way they ran at the end. Three Kansas freshmen finished in the top four of the womens race, with senior Kyra Kilwein leading the pack, it was the Jayhawks controlling that race as

Kansas runners Josh baden (121), reid buchanan (122), James Wilson (133), and Gabe Gonzalez (126) snag the top four places, respectively, in the bob timmons Classic saturday at rim rock Farm. the top four runners finished in 19:49, all within half a second of each other. well. Seven of the top eight spots were taken up by Kansas runners. Senior Kyra Kilwein ran to a first place finish ahead of the three freshmen Hannah Richardson, Sara Seiwald and Hayley Francis. Before the race Richardson said that running as a pack had been an emphasis in every run she has had with the Kansas team this year. She finished second on Saturday, only 11 seconds behind Kilwein. There was a total of 31 seconds between the four runners, and just as it was in the mens race, less than a minute separated the seven Kansas runners. Really one through seven we are all right there, Whittlesey said. We can literally run as a pack of seven. The pack really isnt that far apart and thats what we really need to focus on the next eight to 10 weeks, getting that pack closer and closer together up top. Edited by Laken Rapier Kansas runner Kyra Kilwein runs to finish first in the 5k at the bob timmons Classic saturday at rim rock Farm. Kilwein finished with a time of 18:56, beating second place by 11 seconds.

Weis said it himself, turnovers are the biggest reasons for wins and losses. Kansas won that battle because of Bowen.

Oklahoma found themselves in trouble early on when UTEP blocked a punt and took it back for a touchdown to draw first blood. Oklahoma tied the game at seven going into the locker room and put up 17 points on the scoreboard after a few mishaps in the first half.

For Big 12 fans who now follow West Virginia closer than before, it is hard not to be impressed with their 10-touchdown game performance. It took the Texas Longhorns a little bit of time to figure out Wyomings style of football. Midway through the second quarter, the Longhorns began to take the game away from Wyoming as they put together four rushing touchdowns against the Cowboys.

defense better, but work left to do

The Kansas Jayhawks defense started the 2012 season strong by coming up with five takeaways against South Dakota State on Saturday, contributing to the 31-17 victory. Senior safety Bradley McDougald was responsible for two of the five takeaways Saturday night. McDougald picked off Jackrabbits quarterback Austin Sumner twice. McDougalds two interceptions already equates his 2011 interception total. Coach Charlie Weis was pleased with what he saw, and felt McDougald lived up to expectations. Ive been touting his horn for a while now, Weis said. I think that he is as good of a player as we have on the team, maybe the best. You have to play that way now and he was all over the place tonight. He played like a front-line safety and he has the capability of being one. McDougald is the first Jayhawk defender to record two interceptions in one game since Darrell Stuckey in 2008 against Missouri. McDougalds transformation as a safety showed on Saturday and he gives his coaches credit for helping him get to where he is today. Coach Campo and Bowen collectively have been working with me since they got here in the spring, McDougald said. They told me how they felt when they first got here, the impression I made on them and the news they got from the previous staff and then how Ive transitioned over time. It was telling that McDougald had spent a lot of time with his coaches this offseason after an impressive showing Saturday night. His development was something his defensive coaches worked on to better prepare him for this season. The biggest thing is the coaching of urgency that they have and the attention to details, McDougald said. That has been the biggest help that Ive added to my game, playing fierce and making plays. Thats what they tried to help me with. McDougalds leadership role came into play early in the game after South Dakota State sophomore running back Zach Zenner blazed his way through the Jayhawks defense for a 99-yard touchdown run for the first score of the game. McDougald got the Jayhawk defense to come together and stay focused. The defense was in uniform after giving up a big run and not allowing its mind set to go in the wrong direction. We let up a 99-yard touchdown and a couple deep balls, McDougald said. Credit them for making them, but besides the big plays that they had, I would say the defense played pretty well. The Jayhawks defense was statistically the worst last season among all Division I teams. Weis and Campo knew that the defense had a lot of room to mature. Saturday night was a defensive night for the Jayhawks and their four interceptions tied Tennessee for most interceptions in Week 1. Weis is content with the defensive effort from his squad in his first game with Kansas. He believes this was the kickoff they needed to jump start the season and carry that over to next week against Rice. Usually when you win the turnover ratio, you usually win the game, Weis said. Its the number one stat in football. The turnover is usually the most glaring statistic between winning and losing and I think thats a good start for our defense. Edited by Laken Rapier

final thought
kansas won a game where there would have been no excuse for a loss. Yes, it is important to get that first win, and yes there were flashes of athleticism on both sides of the ball, but its too early to tell what Jayhawk fans should expect the rest of the way. Dayne Crist was lackluster, and the defense still has work to do. At the end of the day, though, a win is a win.

Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson keeps running towards the end zone after his opponent from South Dakota State University caught ahold of his shirt during the Saturday game at memorial Stadium where the Jayhawks won 31-17. Patterson had 44 receiving yards during the game.

COMMENTARY

new impact players key crist struggles in first game as Jayhawk while running backs shine to victory
blaKE SchuSTEr
bschuster@kansan.com Kansas fans wanted to see fireworks from Dayne Crist on Saturday and they got them. On Kansas first play of the game, Crist commanded a double playaction pass and launched a 43yard pass to senior Kale Pick to set the Jayhawks up on the South Dakota State 32-yard line. Like a firework, Crist entered the game with a lot of smoke, flashed pretty colors and quickly faded into the night as the rungame took over. Charlie Weis alternated the use of his running backs for his first career win as a Jayhawk. Both sophomore Tony Pierson and junior Taylor Cox recorded more than 100 yards and at least a touchdown in Kansas 31-17 victory over South Dakota State University. After Crists trickery to open up the game, the highly touted quarterback had issues connecting with his receivers. Im very disappointed in how I played, Crist said. I left a ton of throws out on the field. Crist failed on connections to starting receivers D.J. Beshears five times, and Daymond Patterson three times. Beshears and Patterson ended up combining for nine catches and 71 yards. Both receivers were top targets for former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb, and were thought to be key weapons for Crist. He was a little rusty, Weis said. He went all last year without playing a game. Some of it is his fault, some of it is other guys fault. Crist did set off a few more

he start of the Charlie Weis era was anything but perfect. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist looked rusty, only completing 17 of his 36 passing attempts, throwing for 169 yards and only one touchdown. Even though the defense forced five turnovers, the Kansas defense allowed 411 total yards, including a 99-yard run that gave South Dakota State the lead early in the game. The special teams blocked two punts, but allowed 164 yards on six kickoff returns. Needless to say, there are plenty of issues for the Jayhawks to work on after their 31-17 victory over South Dakota State. But even with these glaring issues, one thing is clear. A new season means impact players. Sure, sophomore running back Tony Pierson had an incredible day. The speedster rushed for 124 yards on 20 carries, averaged 6.2 yards per carry and reached the end zone twice. But the real surprise was junior running back Taylor Cox. With no James Sims in the lineup for the first three games of the season due to a suspension, Cox shined rushing for 121 yards and one touchdown. While Pierson scored more touchdowns, Cox averaged 7.6 yards per carry. Coxs combination of speed and power could be the spark plug that the Jayhawks need on offense. On the defensive side of the ball, its really hard to find a positive after allowing so many yards. Senior safety Bradley McDougald intercepted the ball twice. Junior cornerback Tyler Patmon had one interception and should have had two after dropping an easy ball that came his way. Still, neither of these players impacted the game like junior defensive lineman Jordan Tavai. At first glance, most would think he had a poor game. Tavai recorded four tackles but failed to record a sack or tackle for loss. Remember, Tavai played most of the game as a nose tackle. The main job of a nose tackle isnt to get many tackles or sacks. Tavais job was to fill the gaps for linebackers to get through and provide pressure on the quarterback. And Tavai did just that. Tavai was constantly in the backfield, blowing up the middle of the Jackrabbits offensive line. His pressure was good enough for South Dakota State to double team him the majority of the night. The biggest question now is if Tavai and Cox can both impact the game on a weekly basis. South Dakota State isnt the best quality opponent and the difficulty only increases from here. Still, these two players are big contributers to the team. With no James Sims, Cox provides quickness to the team when Pierson isnt in the game. Kansas hasnt had a defensive line constantly provide pressure in many years. With a new season underway, look for these impact players to make big plays. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk

Kansas Jayhawks huddle up during the first half of the match against south dakota state Jackrabbits on saturday. Kansas defeated south dakota state 31-17. fireworks. A two-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Mike Ragone the first of his collegiate career was the decisive score of the game. Yet on the day, Crist was 17-36 with one interception and only 169 yards passing. Weis and Crist chalked it up to getting a little too excited and not staying within Crists limits. Both said it would be corrected, and in the meantime, Crist was thankful for his running backs getting the job done. All the running backs in conjunction with the offensive line really carried the day, Crist said. They got us through some lulls in the game. Thats not to say that the offense didnt get anything right. On one of Kansas more impressive drives, Crist threw a seven-yard pass to Beshears for a first down. Next he handed off to Pierson who avoided a defender, cut to the right sideline and turned up field and sprinted 47-yards to the end zone. I give credit to the offensive line, receivers and tight ends, Pierson said. They just opened up the holes for me to get to the secondary, make a move, and go for a touchdown.

Earlier last week, Crist said that if calling for a run on every down to secure a win was needed, he would be fine handing the ball off. It didnt quite come to that on Saturday, but when Big 12 play rolls around, 17 completions on 36 attempts wont cut it. Edited by Hannah Wise

Jayhawks tie after 84th minute free-kick

amorris@kansan.com A strong second half performance and a late free kick goal from senior forward Whitney Berry helped the soccer team secure a 2-2 draw against Arizona State on Sunday. After beating Creighton 3-0 on Friday, the Jayhawks struggled during the first half of Sundays game. Arizona State controlled play and had plenty of possession time, preventing Kansas from creating many opportunities. I thought in the first half they were all over us, to be honest, coach Mark Francis said. We didnt do a good job of pressuring their midfield players. Despite the lack of scoring chances, it was the Jayhawks who found the net first when Ashley Williams tucked away Courtney Dickersons low cross in the eighth minute. The goal was against the run of play but was created when Kansas junior forward Caroline Kastor made a great turn at midfield to start the Kansas attack. The ball eventually came to Dickerson out wide before she played it across the goal for Williams to tuck into the empty net. Kansas, averaging 20 shots per game, only created three shots during the first half and forced just one save by Arizona State goalkeeper Chandler Morris. Senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau had another impressive display, making five saves to keep the Jayhawks ahead at the end of the first half. Kansas started the second half better than the first with more possession and more pressure on ASU. We made some adjustments at

halftime, Francis said. I thought we dominated the second half. Liebetrau also continued to play well but the Jayhawks defense finally allowed their first goal in 350 minutes. A ball floated into the box and Arizona State forward Cali Farquharson headed the ball over Liebetrau and into the empty net to tie the game with 10 minutes to play. In the 84th minute, the Sun Devils grabbed a shocking lead when Christina Schedels long free kick floated into the top corner, giving Arizona State a 2-1 lead. Kansas made a slight argument when Liebetrau appeared to be pushed when trying to catch the ball, but no call was made and the goal stood. Just 30 seconds after conceding the goal, Kansas was given a free kick 40 yards from goal. Many people expected Kansas to try to cross the ball into the box and head toward the goal, but Whitney Berry had other ideas. Berrys shot bounced off the crossbar before rolling across the line with just five minutes remaining and the score now level at 2-2. Our team never gives up, sophomore Jamie Fletcher said. We came back after they scored that other goal and kept fighting and fighting. Players on both sides showed fatigue during the overtime and each goalie was forced to make great saves in the golden goal period. Kansas improves to 4-1-1 on the season with games against Missouri State and North Carolina State next weekend. Edited by Emma McElhaney
