Afer a Labor Day trip away,

Chris Ackerson opened the gate to


the backyard of his Lawrence house
that hed rented for more than a
year.
Afer a long car ride, his two
dogs needed to use the restroom.
As Ackerson, a Wichita junior,
made his way into his backyard
Sept. 3 on the 1800 block of Illinois
Street, he felt sick to his stomach.
Te storm door had been kicked
open and he stared into his now
empty living room.
I honestly wanted to cry, Acker-
son said. Pretty much everything I
had ever worked for or bought on
my own, other than my furniture,
was gone.
Te victim of a burglary, he
called the Lawrence Police Depart-
ment and learned he was the victim
of a crime on the rise in Lawrence.
According to Kansas Incident
Based Reporting Statistic numbers
by LPD from the beginning of the
year through June 30, 2012, LPD
has responded to 331 incidences
involving a burglary. Burglaries are
up 33 percent when compared to
the 248 burglaries for the frst-half
of the year in 2011.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, an LPD
spokesman, said they began no-
ticing the increase in March and
began to see patterns afer investi-
gating.
Specifcally, most of the increased
burglaries in Lawrence have been
aggravated, meaning someone is in
the home or structure at the time
the ofense is committed.
McKinley said from March 17 to
Aug. 27 there were approximately
83 aggravated residential burglar-
ies reported in Lawrence. Force to
gain entry was reported in six of
the cases.
In the vast majority of those
cases the doors were lef un-
locked, McKinley said. Afer
entering through an open or un-
locked garage, front or side door,
the burglar(s) would quickly grab
purses or other valuable items and
get out.
McKinley said the LPD has ar-
rested eight people alleged to be
involved in the burglary string. Te
most recent arrest was 18-year-old
Cody Barnes, who was charged last
week for his alleged involvement in
four July burglaries.
But despite several arrests, the
burglaries continue to happen and
the pattern originally associated
with it has changed.
In late August, the vast majority
were doors and windows that were
lef unlocked, McKinley said. But
we are seeing more of a change with
forced entries, and we dont know
what to make of that yet.
On Sept. 17, two forced entry
burglaries were reported. Te frst
happened about 3:30 a.m. on the
1700 block of Ohio Street. McKin-
ley said a neighbor called police
afer hearing glass breaking. Te
second burglary happened about
6:30 a.m. in a student house on the
1000 block of Tennessee Street. A
resident heard someone breaking
glass on the door and called police.
In both cases, the suspects fed be-
fore police arrived.
Police have responded to sev-
eral cases involving students, who
McKinley said may be easier vic-
tims because they ofen rent houses
and are accustomed to noise in the
middle of the night.
We had one case in particular
where someone heard noise and as-
sumed it was their roommate afer
a night of drinking, McKinley said.
Its important students realize that
if you hear something, dont just as-
sume. Get up and check it out.
If you do fnd or hear someone
breaking in, McKinley said the best
thing to do, aside from calling po-
lice, is to follow your natural reac-
tion.
Most of these people have not
been confrontational, McKinley
said, referring to the potential bur-
glars. Do what feels right. It may
be to hide until they leave, to con-
front them or to call police as they
are in your house.

Aaron Heintzelman returned
from dinner Wednesday night to
find fire trucks surrounding his
apartment building and water
flooding the street.
Heintzelman, a junior from
Leavenworth, lived on the second
floor of Berkeley Flats apartment
complex which caught fire around
10:15 p.m. last Wednesday night.
When he approached the burning
structure that night, Heintzelman
said he hoped it was not his apart-
ment.
With my string of luck, it
would be my apartment, he said
Wednesday night.
The apartment above his caught
fire due to improper discardment
of smoking material according to
a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire
Medical press release. The fire
at the 1123 Indiana St. complex
caused a total of $400,000 in dam-
age to 12 apartments and displaced
14 residents.
Jane Blotcher, executive direc-
tor of the American Red Cross of
Douglas County, said she was at the
scene Wednesday night. Blotcher
said that victims of disasters are
usually in shock and hysterical,
but the students she met with that
night were just the opposite.
Despite their loss, everyone was
upbeat, filled with gratitude and
friendly, she said.
Blotcher said Friday the Red
Cross had met with 13 of the 14
students displaced by the fire. The
organization provided emergen-
cy money for clothes and food.
She said the Red Cross has had
a seven-year partnership with
the Universitys Office of Student
Affairs to help provide students
with assistance not normally cov-
ered by the Red Cross. She said
the Office of Student Affairs could
replace damaged textbooks, lap-
tops and other school-related
necessities.
Joanna Antonik, a sophomore
from Chicago, lives in an apart-
ment next to the damaged build-
ing. She said she heard about the
fire from friends and saw pictures
of it on Facebook while she was at
the library. She said a bombard-
ment of texts and calls asking if she
was OK made her panic.
What if it was my apartment?
she said. What if Id accidentally
left my straighter on or something
stupid like that and it was my
fault?
Heintzelman, Antonik and
every resident at Berkeley Flats are
required by their lease agreements
to have renters insurance. Antonik
said she pays $12 a month for
$5,000 worth of coverage.
Blotcher said shes seen students
without renters insurance drop out
of school because the financial bur-
den was too much. She said all stu-
dent renters should consider insur-
ance because its affordable, with a
generous plan costing between $15
to $17 dollars a month.
She felt the insurance plans
allowed the students affected by
the fire to be optimistic.
They had a light at the end
of the tunnel most people dont
have.

Rebekka Schlichting
WASHI NGTONLor e t t a
Mitchell is 100 percent sure shes
going to vote in the presidential
race come November. She doesnt
have a clue wholl get that vote.
That makes her a rare and highly
sought after commodity: an unde-
cided likely voter.
The challenge for President
Barack Obama and Republican
Mitt Romney is how to lay claim
to this small but mightily impor-
tant swath of the electorate. These
people are truly up for grabs, claim
theyre intent on voting and yet
arent paying that much attention.
With six hard-fought weeks left
in the campaign, just 7 percent of
likely voters have yet to pick a can-
didate, according to an Associated
Press-GfK poll. When combined
with those who are leaning toward
one candidate or the other but far
from firm in their choice, about
17 percent of likely voters are what
pollsters consider persuadable.
That includes 6 percent who give
soft support to Obama and
4 percent for Romney.
Mitchell, a 68-year-old inde-
pendent from the small town of
Lebanon, Ind., voted for Obama
in 2008 but says both candidates
this year strike her as true politi-
cians, and Im just really down with
Washington and politicians.
Like a lot of undecideds, she
isnt sure whats going to determine
her ballot, and shes in no rush to
decide.
The triggers for how and when
the undecideds will make up their
minds are intensely personal.
So the campaigns have to hope
to pick them off as they pursue
swing groups in the most com-
petitive states segments of voters
such as independents, seniors and
white working-class voters.
People such as Donna Olson,
a 66-year-old semi-retired truck
driver from Oskaloosa, Iowa, who
calls herself a former Democrat.
Olson expects to wait until
November to make up her mind,
just as she did four years ago,
when her vote ultimately went to
Republican John McCain.
I dont like either one of them,
Olson says of Obama and Romney.
She specifically mentions Obamas
support for gay marriage and
Romneys proposed tax breaks for
wealthy Americans.
So how will she make up her
mind?
Im just trying to watch a lit-
tle bit of everything, says Olson.
It probably will come down to
November, but Im open to see
what happens between now and
then.
At least Olsons tuned in to the
race. One huge hurdle for both
sides in the next six weeks will be
getting the attention of the unde-
cideds.
While 69 percent of likely voters
report theyre paying a great deal
of attention to the race, the figure
drops to 59 percent for persuad-
able likely voters. Among the larger
group of all registered voters, just
31 percent of persuadables show
much interest in the campaign.
Candidates strive to win over swing
groups and undecided voters

MINSK, Belarus Belarus held
parliamentary elections Sunday
without the main opposition par-
ties, which boycotted the vote to
protest the detention of political
prisoners and opportunities for
election fraud.
The election will fill 110 seats
in parliament, which long has
been reduced to a rubber stamp by
authoritarian President Alexander
Lukashenko. He has ruled the
former Soviet nation since 1994.
Western observers have criticized
all recent elections in Belarus as
undemocratic.
Preliminary results in the par-
liamentary vote were expected
Monday.
Lukashenkos landslide win in
a 2010 presidential election trig-
gered a mass street protest that was
brutally suppressed, and any rallies
after the parliamentary vote would
be certain to draw a similar harsh
response.
Elections in those states where
they are boring and peaceful are
a good thing for the people, not
to mention for the government,
Lukashenko said after casting his
ballot, his 7-year-old son by his
side. But he warned that the calm
would not last if the opposition
mounted a protest.
The main show here, as you
understand, always begins after the
elections, therefore anything can
happen, although of course, God
forbid that it does, he said. All
sorts of political nonsense always
occurs here after the results are
announced.
The opposition had hoped to
use this election to build support,
but 33 out of 35 candidates from
the United Civil Party were barred
from television, while the state-
owned press refused to publish
their election programs.
We are calling on voters to ...
ignore and boycott this electoral
farce, said party leader Anatoly
Lebedko. The other party that boy-
cotted the vote was the Belarusian
Popular Front.
BAUCHI, Nigeria A suicide
car bomber attacked a Catholic
church conducting Mass in north-
ern Nigeria on Sunday, killing two
people and wounding another 45
in a region under assault by a radi-
cal Islamist sect, ofcials said.
An Associated Press journalist
heard the explosion afer 9 a.m.
Sunday in the city of Bauchi, which
has seen a number of bombings
and shootings blamed on the sect
known as Boko Haram. Te blast
appeared to hit a parking lot along-
side the St. Johns Catholic Church
in the city.
Police and military surrounded
the church and did not allow jour-
nalists inside the cordon. Later, at a
nearby hospital, Bauchi deputy po-
lice commissioner T. Stevens told
journalists that the bomber had
been stopped at the churchs gate,
where he detonated the explosives
packed inside his car.
Doctors cautioned that more
could die from their injuries.
Te situation has been brought
under control, Stevens said. We
have our men minding all areas.
Stevens said no group or individ-
ual had claimed responsibility for
the attack, though suspicion im-
mediately fell on Boko Haram. Te
sect, whose name means Western
education is sacrilege in the Hausa
language of Nigerias north, has
been waging an increasingly bloody
fght against nations weak central
government. More than 680 people
have died in drive-by killings and
bombings blamed on Boko Haram
this year alone, according to an AP
count. Te sect has demanded the
release of all its captive members
and has called for strict Shariah law
to be implemented across the entire
country.
Te sect has used suicide car
bombs against churches in the past,
most noticeably a 2011 Christmas
Day attack on a Catholic church in
Madalla near Nigerias capital. Tat
attack and assaults elsewhere in the
country killed at least 44 people.
An unclaimed car bombing on
Easter in Kaduna killed at least 38
people on a busy roadway afer wit-
nesses say it was turned away from
a church.
fans at MtV concert
cause riot
MADRID Fans rioted outside a
free concert hosted by MTV at a Ma-
drid theater early Saturday after they
were denied entry because the venue
was full to capacity, offcials said.
About 60 people sustained minor in-
juries and 11 others were arrested.
Thousands of people had turned
up at the venue late Friday for the
lineup of Spanish Indie music acts,
police said. Once the theater was
full, scuffes broke out in the streets
outside and people began throwing
bottles.
Riot police, some on horseback,
were deployed to the area after gar-
bage containers were set ablaze.
Several parked cars were damaged
in the unrest.

TO THE
LETTER EDITOR
O
ne of the many presi-
dential qualities that a
prospective candidate
must have is the ability to convey
his or her message in a clear and
concise manner. Unfortunately
for Mitt Romney supporters, the
Republican presidential nominee
hasnt proven to be as eloquent as
President Obama. Hes shown the
lack of clear speech throughout
this campaign and it could very
well be his downfall.
The leaked video (that every-
one has heard about by now)
that showed Romney at an event
in May telling the crowd that 47
percent of the voting population
would automatically vote for
President Obama because they
were beholden to the govern-
ment could very well have kept
President Obama in the White
House for four more years.
What will hurt Romney the
most isnt that he pointed out
that hes most concerned with the
eight to 10 percent of undecided
voters this election has been so
polarizing that its painfully clear
the lines between staunch liberals
and conservatives have already
been drawn its that he dis-
missed them for not paying taxes
and said he didnt care about
them. The campaign process is a
prolonged interview process; one
of the biggest tasks for the job
Romney is interviewing for is to
care about all Americans.
But hes not incorrect.
In the video, Romney said,
There are 47 percent who are
with him, who are dependent
upon government, who believe
that they are victims, who believe
the government has a respon-
sibility to care for them, who
believe that they are entitled to
healthcare, to food, to hous-
ing, to you-name-it It is true
that according to the Tax Policy
Center, in 2011, 46.4 percent of
American households paid no
federal income taxes. Does that
mean that those people dont pay
taxes at all and are total freeload-
ers? No. They still pay payroll
taxes, state and local taxes and
no one can get away from paying
sales taxes.
It seems unfair that
Republicans have not had an
eloquent speaker in this position
since Ronald Reagan; perhaps
Bob Dole, but he was never
going to beat the slick saxophon-
ist. What Romney was getting
at is a very important message
and one that Americans should
heed as they prepare to vote on
Nov. 6. There is a vast portion
of the populace that believes the
government exists to provide for
them. The conservative message
is one that champions personal
responsibility; giving someone
the opportunity to provide for
themselves and allowing them to
feel the natural lift that one gets
after accomplishing something
paramount to their lives and the
lives of their loved ones.It is quite
clear that President Obama wants
more people to become beholden
to the government. According
to easily accessible government
figures, there are now 46 mil-
lion Americans on food stamps.
Thats compared to 30 million
in 2008. There were 10.6 million
Americans on social security
disability in 2011 compared to
9.3 million three years ago. The
smallest share of the U.S. popula-
tion is looking for work than at
any time since 1981 and 40 per-
cent of the current unemployed
have been out of work for six
months or more. That is pro-
longed, sustained unemployment.
As for the population that is
employed, we have a historical
healthcare tax that has just been
passed under the guise of our
greatest political achievement.
Here is a small exercise for you
to think about while youre read-
ing this: what happens when
an employer has higher costs of
business because he or she has
to pay a tax for healthcare per
employee? If your first thought is
that they find ways to cut those
costs, youre correct. And how
would an employer cut costs that
occur per employee? If youve
come to the realization that they
would hire fewer employees if
not let go of existing employees
then youve reached the end of
this exercise.
And now you know what the
future holds if we elect President
Obama for four more years. A
President shouldnt be rewarded
for how many more people rely
on the government, they should
be judged on the fact that fewer
people need assistance from the
government because they can
provide for themselves and live
within their means.

S
hawn, Topanga and Cory.
Michelle, Stephanie and
DJ. Tia and Tamera. Will,
Carlton and Geoffrey. Raven,
Lizzie and Ren and Louis. If you
can name the shows these char-
acters came from, your childhood
was awesome. During the 1990s
and early 2000s, TV shows direct-
ed at kids offered productive role
models and truly funny worlds to
escape to.
(Before I carry on, you should
know the answers above: Boy
Meets World, Full House,
Sister Sister, Fresh Prince of
Bel-Air, Thats So Raven, Lizzie
McGuire and Even Stevens.)
Each of the aforementioned
shows features characters that are
relatable. They have flaws. No one
can argue that they dont make
mistakes or that they always fit
in. They constantly battled the
same things we faced. Even Raven,
whose superpower set her apart,
fought the urge to lie and even
wrestled with her personal image.
I can personally remember
seeing Stephanie Tanner of Full
House as she fought societys
image of beauty and decided that
glasses could be beautiful too.
Many of these shows taught view-
ers lessons as simple as accepting
yourself on a regular basis. What
would the shows have been like if
Raven of Thats So Raven didnt
fight the school uniforms or if Will
of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air gave
up his individuality every time
Uncle Phil suggested he do so?
Back in the day, shows tack-
led big picture questions. Eric
Matthews in Boy Meets World
could hardly face his future after
high school. How many American
teenagers have stood there at some
point? Thats So Raven went
so far as to look at the obesity
epidemic while it was still a small
problem on the public agenda.
Lizzie McGuire even helped her
best friend Miranda through a
bout with anorexia.
Recently, I turned on Disney
Channel. It felt like a force of habit.
I was surprised to find that instead
of the strong characters with iden-
tifiable problems, todays shows
dont offer as good of role models.
Lets look at Wizards of Waverly
Place for example. In Selena
Gomezs break-out role, she plays a
popular character that doesnt have
an issue with her self-esteem. She
has no problem lying to authority
figures and using her magic to do
cruel things. Shes never punished
for such actions.
Can you imagine what would
happen if that character would
have lived in a 90s show? Danny
Tanner of Full House wouldnt
have it and Joey would say to cut
it out. The Matthews would never
have let that kind of behavior
stand. Accountability is part of
learning a lesson.
When I turned off the Disney
Channel, which I did after one
unfulfilling show, I asked myself
what I remember most about the
shows I watched as a kid. I came to
this conclusion: I am that quirky
character. I asked myself what I
love was when Cory and Topanga
of Boy Meets World went on
their first date. I ached to be popu-
lar like every other junior high girl
and Lizzie McGuire.
But what slipped my mind is
the perfection of their lives that, in
most cases, exists outside of televi-
sion scripts. Each character had a
friend that they could count on no
matter what. These shows taught
viewers about the importance
of our relationships and how to
maintain them.
Its been 20 years since the early
1990s. Soon the sparse reruns of
these shows will disappear for
good. Like our parents, well prob-
ably end up talking about that one
show that sticks out far past all of
the rest. Also like our parents, it
will be left to us to instill within
our kids those lessons we learned
from our favorite characters.
Whatever you do, dont forget.
Dont forget growing up alongside
characters that really were like you.

journalism from Scranton.
A
pples new iPhone 5 is gor-
geous. A matte-finished
backside compliments the
sheen of the newer, larger front
screen. The edges are cut to a
finish with diamond blades. The
glass camera lens was replaced
with pure sapphire. And well, it
weighs a little bit less. And thats
about it. Bluntly, its technology
is only marginally better than the
4S. And to boot, thousands of cus-
tomers began complaining about
the terrible Apple Maps in iOS 6
only hours after its launch.
Did any of this stop Apple lov-
ers from emptying shelves last
Friday? Absolutely not. Apple
claims that over 2 million people
pre-ordered the new phone on
the first day alone, more than any
product under Steve Jobs direc-
tion. With numbers like these,
Apple proves that it is still one of
the most popular and successful
companies in the world. Despite
their success, and the fact I own
an iPhone 4, I still have a bone to
pick with this technology giant
because I hate their cutthroat busi-
ness ethics.
Since the mid-2000s, Apple has
had a lawsuit addiction, attacking
even the slightest hint of copyright
or patent infringement, an action
Google calls bullying tactics.
Apple just won a $1 billion law-
suit against Samsung in the U.S.,
they lost the same case in both
Germany and South Korea, as
courts couldnt find any validity
to the case. The fact that Apple
even sued Samsung was confus-
ing, because Apple buys about half
of the parts in an iPhone from
Samsung. Apples legal team is so
adamant about stomping out com-
petition. Apple is currently suing a
Polish grocery store chain named
A.pl.
For most companies, I under-
stand, its business. But when
Apple, which put together the first
Mac from a computer taken from
another California company and
software taken from Microsoft,
develops products that look eerily
similar to tech products by Braun
from the 1950s and 60s, and then
sues anyone who produces prod-
ucts similar to Apple products, it
simply blows my mind how hypo-
critical it is.
Speaking of hypocrisy, I (as
a person who owns an iPhone)
absolutely hate Apple fan-boys.
Besides the fact they support
Apples lawsuit crusade, they actu-
ally believe that Apple sells top-
of-the-line technology, which is
subject to opinion, and spend an
incredible amount on Apple prod-
ucts.
Yeah, my iPhone feels great, but
the resolution, speed, and camera
are comparable to a last genera-
tion Android. Any time Apple can
convince customers to buy a worse
product for more money and be
incredibly successful with this
business model, its bad for all
consumers.
Oh, and remember that whole
thing about the suicides at the
iPhone factory in China? As my
final attack on Apple, I would like
to point out Apple still hires that
factory to make phones. I would
be going way too far to say that
your money contributes directly
to suicide. At least, your money
goes to a company that responds
to worker suicides by putting nets
to catch people jumping off build-
ings, and not actually improving
working conditions.
So, go buy your new iPhone,
because honestly, its still a pretty
sweet phone and its fun to use.
Just think about what your money
contributes to for a little bit. No
company is perfect, but you could
do a lot better than Apple.

The most recent article by
Katherine Gwynn on the abor-
tion debate struck me. The
writer quotes her niece as say-
ing I decide my own life, and
from that she is emotionally
moved to feel that all women
should have the right to choose
whatever routes their lives will
go. Granted, most people would
hold that as a holy ideal, that we
as individuals are imbued with
such an inherent right to own
our destinies. Gwynn hears her
nieces words and reassures her
that this is true, that she, as a
five-year-old girl, has that right
to own her life; but in using that
premise in support of a pro-
choice agenda she unknowingly
supports a statement which
looks more like this: that her
niece has absolutely no right to
own her life, but that instead her
mother owns that right over her.
So the question is, if all this is
true, who has any right to own
their own lives? If a human does
not even have the right to decide
if it will exist or not, who then
can truly say they have a natural
ownership of their own body?
Now dont get me wrong.
I may not be pro-choice, but
thats not because I dont see
that there are terrible struggles
and horrific sufferings that
women undergo as a result of
an unplanned pregnancy. All
that I am saying is that the fate
of those circumstances gives no
right to a woman to kill a baby,
no matter how young. We value
our right to determine our desti-
nies so dearly, and those humans
yet-to-be deserve to be given the
same right to decide their own
lives.

We dont commit murder

Man, shortly before setting fire to
a giant wooden effigy containing
a still-struggling human sacrifice.
Were a deeply religious people.
What is it about a cult that
fuels the darker engines of our
imagination? From Jonestown to
the Manson Family, the public has
come to regard the subject with a
morbid blend of fascination and
fear, an emotional divergence most
conveniently filtered through our
fiction. Paul Thomas Andersons
The Master, starring Philip
Seymour Hoffman as the enigmat-
ic leader of a Scientology-esque
movement and Joaquin Phoenix
as his slavishly devoted acolyte,
is the most recent film to ponder
what singular force of will could
command the unquestioning spir-
itual submission of its followers.
The modern cult thriller began
in 1968, when director Roman
Polanski delivered Rosemarys
Baby and changed the genre for-
ever. In the film, newly pregnant
Rosemary (Mia Farrow) becomes
convinced that her apartment
buildings elderly tenants are actu-
ally members of a satanic cult
bent on stealing her unborn child
to use in their rituals. Stripped
of its supernatural trappings,
Polanskis movie becomes a hallu-
cinogenic meditation on mother-
hood, sexual dysfunction and the
stifling effects of urban isolation.
Another highly influential film
is the aforementioned Wicker
Man, not to be confused with
the stupefying remake featur-
ing Nicolas Cage in a bear suit.
Robin Hardys original remains
a chilling reminder that all reli-
gions are considered cults until,
to paraphrase Frank Zappa,
they buy enough real estate.
The plot involves a devout
Christian policeman (Edward
Woodward) searching for a miss-
ing girl on a remote Scottish island
where pagan worship is still the
norm. The great Christopher
Lee, sporting Bob Dylans hairdo
and a yellow turtleneck, turns in
an absolutely mesmeric, career-
best performance as Summerisle,
the islands sinister patriarch.
The last few years have seen
an uptick in films exploring reli-
gious movements that flirt with
outright cultism. In 2011, audi-
ences saw the arrival of Higher
Ground, actress-director Vera
Farmigas deeply personal account
of a womans struggle to recon-
cile her beliefs with the dooms-
day preaching of her husbands
New Testament compound.
Elizabeth Olsen earned raves
for her performance as a psy-
chologically scarred ex-believer
in the well-acted but dramati-
cally muzzled Martha Marcy
May Marlene, while last summer
gave us the supremely unsettling
Sound of My Voice, the story
of two journalists who infiltrate
a basement cult run by a mes-
sianic woman (Brit Marling) who
claims to be from the year 2054.
So whats fueling cinemas
renewed enthrallment with cults?
Maybe its the fervor of election
season. Some of the convention-
eers in Tampa, Fla. and Charlotte,
N.C., seemed ready to break out
the matching robes and tinfoil.
Or perhaps its simply our natural
tendency to seek higher meaning
in the face of hard times. Either
way, there will always be Masters
to follow.

With five Grammy awards to
his name, Stephen Marley has cer-
tainly made his mark on the reggae
world in a way his father, cul-
tural icon Bob Marley, never did.
Lucky for the local reggae com-
munity, Marley is making a stop in
Lawrence today.
Martin Maina, also known as DJ
Stiga, will be DJing at the show.
Expect an energetic, mind blow-
ing show, Maina said. Stephen
never shortchanges, and hes a peo-
ples entertainer.
Maina thinks the reggae com-
munity in Lawrence and Kansas
City is lively, which is why top
artists continue to make appear-
ances here.
Maina works for Trigger
Vibrations, a promotions company
who contracts reggae artists and
brings them to Lawrence. Maina
has also played shows for other
Marleys, Damian and Julian.
The artists love the energy, and
so we want to make this a must
stop town for international record-
ing reggae artists, Maina said.
Lawrence is not generally
thought of as a town rich in reggae
roots, but the presence is unde-
niable among many University
students. Rachel Mnager, senior
from Port au Prince, Haiti, thinks
there is a large fan base for reggae
music in Lawrence. She plans to
attend the Stephen Marley concert
because of her love for all of the
Marleys music.
I think its pretty cool that a lot
of people in their family are musi-
cally inclined, Mnager said. I feel
like their music almost always has a
peaceful message.
There is no denying that the
legendary Bob Marley will have
an influence on attendees of the
concert. Adut Anei, a sophomore
from Awei, Sudan, grew up listen-
ing to him, inspiring her lifelong
love for reggae.
Anei finds that reggae appeals
to many students in one form or
another, whether its the original
work with Rastafarian messages or
dancehall, the hip-hop of reggae.
Its just the kind of music you
can put on and it will totally change
your mood, Anei said. For me its
tranquilizing.
Marley will perform today,
at 8 p.m. at the Granada, 1020
Massachusetts St. Tickets are $21
in advance.

LOS ANGELES Hollywood
is in photo-finish mode with three
new movies bunched up tightly
for the No. 1 spot during a sleepy
weekend at the box office.
Studio estimates Sunday put two
movies in a tie for first-place with
$13 million each: Jake Gyllenhaal
and Michael Penas police story
End of Watch and Jennifer
Lawrences horror flick House at
the End of the Street.
And right in the same ballpark
was Clint Eastwood and Amy
Adams baseball tale Trouble with
the Curve, which opened with
$12.7 million.
Actual rankings will be deter-
mined Monday as studios release
final numbers for the weekend.
No matter which movie comes
out on top, it was another slow
weekend for Hollywood, whose
business has been sluggish
throughout late summer. Revenues
were down for the fourth-straight
weekend, with all three of the top
new movies opening to modest
crowds.
This was a clash of the non-
titans, said Paul Dergarabedian,
analyst for box-office tracker
Hollywood.com. When three
films are duking it out for the top
spot with only around $13 million,
that doesnt represent a very strong
period at the box office.
Overall domestic revenues
totaled $88 million, down 25 per-
cent from the same weekend last
year, when a 3-D re-release of The
Lion King led with $21.9 million,
according to Hollywood.com.
The weekends other new wide
release, Lionsgates sci-fi action tale
Dredd, opened well down in the
rankings at No. 6 with $6.3 million.
The movie features Star Trek co-
star Karl Urban as a law enforcer
and executioner in a crime-laden
city of the future.
Open Road Films End of
Watch stars Gyllenhaal and Pena
as partners patrolling the mean
streets of LA. Relativity Medias
House at the End of the Street
casts The Hunger Games star
Lawrence as a youth who moves
with her mom next door to a house
where bloody misdeeds took place
years earlier. Trouble with the
Curve, released by Warner Bros.,
stars Eastwood as an aging base-
ball scout whose daughter (Adams)
accompanies him on his latest road
trip.
Studios determine weekend
estimates by counting Friday and
Saturday ticket sales then project-
ing Sunday revenues based on
how similar movies have played
out in the past. On rare occasions
when the top movies are this close,
the rankings sometimes change
when Mondays final numbers are
released.
That has led to grousing among
competitors that some studios
might be inflating their Sunday
estimates to gain No. 1 bragging
rights, even if only for a day.
I took the high road myself
and put down the $12.7 million we
reported, said Dan Fellman, head
of distribution at Warner Bros.,
where Eastwood has been based
for decades. Ive got a major actor
with a solid group of people in this
movie, and I dont want to eat crow
on Monday.
Other studios were tracking
End of Watch and House at the
End of the Street at a bit less than
$13 million for the weekend, and
some had Trouble with the Curve
at No. 1 by a fraction.
Its unbelievably close. I hon-
estly dont remember ever seeing
it this close, but were happy that
were in the race, said Kyle Davies,
head of distribution for Relativity.
We think our estimate is on tar-
get.
Well see tomorrow. I think
today everybody projected hon-
orably and honestly, said Tom
Ortenberg, chief executive officer
for Open Road Films. I think its
fair to say that nobodys sure whos
going to be No. 1.
While audiences were not too
excited about the new wide releases,
Lionsgates Summit Entertainment
banner had big crowds in lim-
ited release for its teen drama The
Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The film took in $244,000 in
four locations for a strong average
of $61,000 a theater.

PITTSBURGH It sounds
like a free-market success story: a
natural gas boom created by drill-
ing company innovation, deliv-
ering a vast new source of cheap
energy without the government
subsidies that solar and wind
power demand.
Te free market has worked its
magic, the Barnett Shale Energy
Education Council, an industry
group, claimed over the summer.
Te boom happened away
from the greedy grasp of Wash-
ington, the American Enterprise
Institute, a think tank, wrote in an
essay this year.
If bureaucrats had known this
was going on, the essay went on,
surely Washington would have
done something to slow it down,
tax it more, or stop it altogether.
But those who helped pioneer
the technique known as hydrau-
lic fracturing, or fracking, recall a
diferent path. Over three decades,
from the shale felds of Texas and
Wyoming to the Marcellus in the
Northeast, the federal govern-
ment contributed more than $100
million in research to develop
fracking, and billions more in tax
breaks.
Now, those industry pioneers
say their own efort shows that
the government should back re-
search into future sources of en-
ergy for decades, if need be
to promote breakthroughs. For all
its success now, many people in
the oil and gas industry itself once
thought shale gas was a waste of
time.
Teres no point in mincing
words. Some people thought it
was stupid, said Dan Steward,
a geologist who began working
with the Texas natural gas frm
Mitchell Energy in 1981. Stew-
ard estimated that in the early
years, probably 90 percent of the
people in the frm didnt believe
shale gas would be proftable.
Did I know it was going to
work? Hell no, Steward added.
In 1975, the Department of En-
ergy began funding research into
fracking and horizontal drilling,
where wells go down and then
sideways for thousands of feet.
But it took more than 20 years to
perfect the process.
Te fracking pioneers point out
that its impossible to predict how
and when research will pay of.
It wouldnt be research if you
already knew that it was going to
be efective, said Crawley.

785.856.0123 | 831 Massachusetts St.
Afer the burglary at Ackersons
house, he decided to move.
I felt so violated, he said. It
didnt feel safe there anymore.
He is currently busy fling a claim
through his renters insurance for
the two Apple televisions, Xbox,
Playstation, laptop and numerous
other items that were taken. He
estimates it was about $7,000 to
$8,000 worth of property.
Tough the LPD took fnger-
prints, he said he doesnt expect to
get much from the police..
Tey told me it wouldnt be very
likely Id get my stuf back, Acker-
son said. Im just so lucky I had
insurance.
Under his policy, his belongings
will be replaced at retail value. He
said he pays about $12 a month for
it, something Steve Allton, an attor-
ney at Legal Services for Students,
recommends to all students.
If something happens and your
property is taken, your landlords
insurance will not cover your be-
longings, Allton said.
He said students should look frst
to see if their parents home owners
insurance will cover them. If not,
the process is much like getting any
other type of insurance.
You may want to look at where
you get your car insurance or see
if you can get a discount through
using a company you or your par-
ents already use, Allton said. And
then, youll want to determine
how much coverage you need.
As Ackerson waits for his items
to be replaced, he said the biggest
lesson was learning it can and does
happen to anybody.
I really felt like I did everything
right, Ackerson said. I locked my
doors, covered windows and I was
really careful about who I let come
over. I guess the main thing is just
knowing that it happens, and it can
happen to you.

Generations of Kappa Sigmas
returned to Lawrence this past
weekend to celebrate the frater-
nitys 100th year at the University.
Several events were organized for
Friday through Sunday, beginning
at the chapter house at 1045 Emery
Road.
Nick Lombardi, the early 2000s
chapter representative, said the cen-
tennial celebration aims to better
the chapter by encouraging alumni
donations and rush recommenda-
tions. Donations will contribute to
a $1 million endowment that will
provide scholarships to qualifying
undergraduate brothers.
This celebration is a time to
reflect on the past 100 years, and
put a mark of diligence and com-
mitment to the next 100 years for
the Kappa Sigmas at KU, Lombardi
wrote in an email. We will show-
case the history of the chapter,
notable brothers, memorabilia
from the entire chapters history
and the evolution of the fraternity
man over 100 years.
Approximately 100 to 200 for-
mer and current members of the
chapter congregated for the cen-
tennial celebration. According to
the fraternitys website, a hand-
ful of alumni from each era met
Friday to organize the weekends
events.
Saturdays festivities began with a
tour of the Robert J. Dole Institute
of Politics, named after former U.S.
Senator and Kappa Sigma alumnus
Bob Dole. A barbecue lunch was
provided afterward at the chap-
ter house while members watched
the football game against Northern
Illinois University.
The event continued that eve-
ning with dinner at the Adams
Alumni Center. The celebration
ended Sunday morning with
brunch at the Marriott Hotel in
Overland Park.
The KU Kappa Sigma chap-
ter once housed several other
prominent alumni including Alan
Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Co.
and Robert Eaton, former CEO of
Chrysler LLC.
We believe the future will
always present an opportunity
to prove our worth as a chapter,
and that excellence is not merely
attained, it is lived through appli-
cation of Kappa Sigma values,
Lombardi said.

mAnDy pAtinKin, hollA!
Claire Danes came up with the
catchphrase of the night when
she saluted her Homeland co-
star during her Emmy acceptance
speech thusly: Mandy Patinkin,
holla.
Danes, taking the stage after
winning best actress in a drama
for the Showtime series, men-
tioned several names before mat-
ter-of-factly calling out Patinkin
in the most unexpected way.
Twitter went nuts, with many
people suggesting that this say-
ing needs to become a meme,
and soon.
As the pop-culture site (at)
Gawker put it: Mandy Patinkin,
holla is the new Angelina Jolies
leg. From New York Magazines
(at)Vulture site: Mandy Patinkin,
holla is the best thank-you ever.
And from NPRs (at)nprmonkey-
see: If the Internet doesnt remix
Mandy Patinkin, holla by tomor-
row morning, it is a failure.
Others suggested that Jewish
delis begin baking Mandy
Patinkin challah. Still others made
references to Patinkins Broadway
bona fides with Evita jokes.
If someone can figure out a
way to incorporate Patinkins
famous line from The Princess
Bride Hello, my name is
Inigo Montoya, you killed my
father, prepare to die then the
Internet might truly be worth-
while after all.

joked to reporters that he might
be doing some extra celebrating
with Homeland co-star Claire
Danes, who is also married and
came to the Emmys with a baby
bump.
Were going away to a roman-
tic island together, the red-head-
ed British actor joked. When
that baby is ginger you guys are
going to have a field day.
The comment may have got-
ten some members of the press
too excited, one of whom asked
Danes a few moments later how
she viewed the win in light of
giving birth.
Thank god I am not giving
birth, said Danes, whos in an
earlier stage of pregnancy.
The pair reunited later in
another backstage area, looking
very platonic and like two friends
enjoying each others success.

The Emmy host warmly intro-

viewers they had always been

They always told me I could
do anything I set my mind to, he
said, and this year I set my mind
to winning the Emmy.
And guess what? I didnt, he
went on. You told me I could,
and I didnt, and Im devastated.
You lied to me!
Egged on by Tracy Morgan,
who was seated beside them

E
ight American League teams
have a chance to make the
playoffs entering Sunday. This
is exactly what MLB wanted when it
added an additional wild card team last
November.
Every player on every team is compet-
ing for something in September, whether
it be for a spot on next years team or a
chance to make the postseason schedule.
Any single game could make the differ-
ence, and every pitch matters in the wild
card race. This season, the American
League may not be decided until the final
game.
The AL eAsT rAce:
The New York Yankees and the surpris-
ing Baltimore Orioles are both battling for
the division title. Preceding Sunday, the
Orioles had a two-game lead in the wild
card race. The Tampa Bay Rays, third
place in the east, entered Sunday just 3.5
games back from the Oakland Athletics,
who currently hold the second wild card
slot. The Yankees and Orioles wont meet
again this season, but the Rays will go to
Baltimore in the last series of the season
in what could determine who will make
it to the playoffs. Look for the Yankees to
win the division and the Orioles to claim
one of the wild cards. Tampa will just
miss out after winning the division on the
final day of the season last year.
The AL cenTrAL rAce:
Once again the Detroit Tigers and
Chicago White Sox will most likely be
battling for one spot in the playoffs with
a slim chance for either team to win a
wild card slot. The season series is over,
so the teams will have to win every game
if they dont want to fall in the standings.
The Tigers have been the hotter team
recently and their lineup is one of the best
in baseball, making them very dangerous.
Miguel Cabrera has a chance to win the
first Triple Crown for batting since 1967.
Its amazing to think how good this team
could have been if they hadnt lost Victor
Martinez to injury during spring training.
The pitching staff is loaded with great
arms like Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer
and Rick Porcello who will propel this
team to a division title.
The AL WesT rAce:
The Texas Rangers, who had a four-
game lead as of Sunday, will most likely
win the West Division. They have been
to the World Series the past two seasons,
and, despite the recent absence of star
Josh Hamilton, have held a comfortable
lead all season. The race for the wild
card proves the most interesting, with the
Oakland Athletics and Anaheim Angels
both vying for a spot in the one-game
playoff. The Athletics, who currently
hold the second wild card spot, were
one of the hottest teams in baseball this
season but it entered Sunday with a two-
game losing streak. The Angels, who are
2.5 games behind the As, have the talent
to be the best team in baseball and are a
contender for one of the wild card spots.
Oakland faces Texas seven more times
this season, including the final series.
This will ultimately help the Angels move
ahead of the Athletics and into the final
playoff spot.
This is going to be a great finish to
the season and could even be better than
the end of last season, which resulted
in the addition of the second wild card.
The excitement surrounding this season
proves this was the right move.

#15 KAnsAs sTATe 24 - #6 OKLAhOmA 19
KSU: (4-0 , 1-0) OU: (2-1 , 0-1)
Oklahoma committed three turnovers in their loss to Kansas State on
Saturday. Kansas State Senior quarterback Collin Klein completed only 13
passes for 149 yards. But it was the rushing game that fueled the Wildcats
offense. Junior running back John Hubert had a season high of 24 carries
for 135 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Kansas State coach Bill
Snyder has coached his team well and the Wildcats are poised for suc-
cess this year in conference play. As for the Sooners, senior quarterback
Landry Jones took a step back. The good news is Jones and his offense
have a bye week coming up and can rebuild before visiting Texas Tech.
#8 WesT VirginiA 31 - mAryLAnd 21
WVU: (3-0 , 0-0) MD (2-2 , 0-0)
Senior quarterback Geno Smith continued his dominance in helping
West Virginia get off to a 3-0 start. He threw 338 yards and connected
with senior wide receiver Tavon Austin three times in the end zone. West
Virginias defense forced three turnovers as junior linebacker Doug Rigg
helped the Mountaineers get going with the first touchdown of the game.
He picked up a fumble and ran 51 yards to the end zone.
#17 TexAs chrisTiAn 27 - VirginiA 7
Junior quarterback Casey Pachall is the only player in the nation with
a quarterback rating of over 200 and he showed why against Virginia this
weekend. Pachall had a better game this week when he threw 305 yards
and found three different receivers for a touchdown.

BAyLOr 47 - LOuisiAnA-mOnrOe 42
Baylor got off to a rocky start in the first quarter when senior quarter-
back Nick Florence threw a pair of interceptions. Louisiana-Monroe took
advantage and scored two touchdowns to take an early lead. But Florence
and the Bears never turned the ball over again. In a shootout against the
Warhawks, Baylor scored 24 points in the second quarter and Florence
passed for four touchdowns to remain undefeated on the year.

Senior Sarah Robbins had one
of the best games of her Jayhawk
career in a 2-1 upset win over
seventh ranked Oklahoma State
on Friday. After getting the ball
on the edge of the box, she made a
move to get past the OSU defense
before being fouled in the box for a
penalty. Senior midfielder/forward
Whitney Berry converted and the
Jayhawks regained the lead just
minutes after Oklahoma
State equalized.
A strong wind and the
Oklahoma State defense
made it difficult for
Kansas to keep posses-
sion of the ball. Despite
being outplayed for
most of the first half, the
Jayhawks took the lead just three
minutes into the game. Freshman
forward Courtney Dickerson was
able to get to sophomore forward
Haley Yearouts through ball before
shooting past the oncoming goalie
for a 1-0 Kansas lead.
Oklahoma State, the reigning
league champions and preseason
favorites, controlled the first
half despite falling behind. The
Cowgirls had eight shots in the
first half forcing Kansas sopho-
more goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
into action three times. Oklahoma
State also had two shots hit the post
as Kansas held on for a halftime
lead.
Oklahoma State is obviously
a very good team, coach Mark
Francis said. I didnt think we
played particularly great soccer
today compared to what we are
capable of, but I think a lot of that
was down to them.
Robbins, who came on as a first
half substitute, controlled the game
in midfield and helped Kansas gain
the edge in the second half. The
Jayhawks outshot the Cowgirls by
five in the second half
and ended the match
with 18 shots.
In the 69th minute
the Cowgirls found the
back of the net in simi-
lar fashion to Kansas
first half goal. Oklahoma
States leading goal scor-
er Megan Marchesano got onto a
through ball and fired into the top
of the goal.
The Jayhawks answered just
thirty seconds later when Robbins
was fouled in the box and Berry
scored the penalty kick. Kansas
withstood a barrage of Oklahoma
State corners in the final minutes
to earn their first win over the
Cowgirls since 2005.
I saw that space so figured just
take it, Robbins said on drawing
her penalty to give Kansas a chance
to take the lead. That last player,
I thought I was about to lose it.
I took one little touch and she
clipped me.
Stroud had an impressive game
making five saves and controlling
the box on set pieces. The defense
continued its solid play against an
Oklahoma State team averaging 2.5
goals per game. This season, the
Jayhawks defense is allowing just a
single goal per game.
Our defense was solid, Stroud
said. That is probably the big-
gest improvement weve made this
season.
Next weekend the Jayhawks,
with a record of 7-2-1, will travel to
Texas for conference games against
Baylor and TCU. Kansas is excited
about the possibilities of this team
and are focused on making a run
for the programs first Big 12 league
title since 2004.

The tennis team performed
well at the Kansas Invitational
Tournament this weekend, com-
peting in seven finals matches.
The nine-team tournament con-
cluded Sunday afternoon with
singles play. There were eight total
singles draws in the tournament;
Kansas played in six draws and
won five of them.. The six players
who advanced to the finals of their
draws were juniors Claire Dreyer,
Dylan Windom and Paulina Los.
Senior Victoria Khanevskaya,
sophomore Maria Belen Luduea
and freshman Maria Jose Cardona
also made finals in their brackets.
Luduea dropped the finals of
Draw B to Karla Bonacic of Kansas
State with scores of 6-1 and 6-0.
Kansas head coach Amy Hall-Holt
said the tournament was a good
way to start the season. Every
day we came out and we saw a
lot of good things throughout the
whole tournament, Hall-Holt said.
Having six players in the finals of
their bracket is pretty exciting.
In doubles play, Kansas made
the final round of Draw B an all
Jayhawk affair as Cardona and
Fournier played Dreyer and fresh-
man Anastasjia Trubica. Cardona
and Fournier came away with the
win.
You dont always want your
teammates to be playing against
each other, but for both of them to
be in the finals is exciting, Hall-
Holt said.
The team of Windom and
senior Monica Pezzotti is ranked
25th nationally, according to The
Campbell/ITA Preseason Rankings.
The duo won their first two match-
es in Draw A, but Pezzotti hurt her
arm in the third match, forcing
the pair to retire from the tour-
nament. Hall-Holt said Pezzotti
will be ready to compete at the
All-America Championships that
begin Oct. 1.
This was the first time that
Fournier, Trubica and Cardona
have been able to compete for the
Jayhawks. Fournier transferred
from Texas Tech last season, but
sat out because of NCAA transfer
regulations. Trubica and Cardona
are freshmen.
Hall-Holt was pleased with how
well the newcomers are making
their transition to the team.
Doubles-wise they are pick-
ing up great and performing well,
Hall-Holt said. We are making
progress and I am thrilled with
their performance this weekend.
The other eight teams that com-
peted at the tournament this week-
end were Kansas State, University
of Missouri-Kansas City, Arkansas
State, University of Arkansas at
Little Rock, South Dakota, Abilene
Christian University, University of
Texas at Arlington and Wichita
State University.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Carlos
Santana hit two homers and drove
in five runs as the Cleveland
Indians routed Kansas City 15-4
Sunday in their highest-scoring
game of the season.
Santana connected for a two-
run shot in the sixth inning off
Jake Odorizzi, who lost in his
major league debut. Santana added
his team-leading 18th homer, a
three-run drive during a seven-run
ninth.
The loss officially eliminated
the Royals from playoff conten-
tion and assured them of another
losing record. Kansas City has not
made the postseason since win-
ning the 1985 World Series, the
longest active playoff drought in
the majors.
David Huff (2-0) held the Royals
to one run on three hits over 5 2-3
innings.
Santanas first homer put the
Indians ahead 3-1. Cleveland
added five runs in the seventh and
pulled away in the ninth.
The Indians spoiled the day for
Odorizzi (0-1), one of four players
acquired in the 2010 trade for Zack
Greinke.
Odorizzi limited Cleveland to a
pair of singles by Shin-Soo Choo
for the first five innings. After
retiring Choo to lead off the sixth,
Odorizzi allowed three runs on
four consecutive hits.
Jason Kipnis tripled and scored
on Cabreras single before Santanas
homer.
The Indians combined for four
singles, three walks and two Kansas
City errors in the seventh. The
Royals used three relief pitchers
with Vin Mazzaro retiring none of
the four batters he faced.

James Sims made a triumphant return
to the Kansas lineup. The junior gained
115 yards while scoring two touchdowns.
Sims speed and vision on his 26-yard
touchdown run was a testament to the
improvement that the Kansas coaches
have been advertising.

Just when it looked like the Kansas

Dayne Crist had his worst day as a Jayhawk against the Huskies. Crist went 10 for
26 with 147 yards, a passing percentage of 38.5 percent, but the offense found suc-
cess with the wildcat formation. James Sims scored both of his touchdowns out of the
wildcat, but once NIU caught onto the scheme the offense stalled again.

Quote of the game
schedule
Nick Prolago may be the best option kansas has on kickoffs, but hes not the an-
swer. It also doesnt help when the rest of the kickoff unit is having trouble tackling.
The Jayhawks gave up 98 yards on four kickoffs and allowed NIU good feld position
to start their drives. missing extra points wont help the Jayhawks win any games
either.
Grade: c-
The game plan wasnt an issue for kansas. Northern Illinois had trouble defending
the run, so the Jayhawks pulled out the wildcat. Yet once the Huskies caught on to the
scheme kansas did little to adjust and abandoned the run game that had worked so
well.
Grade: B-
kansas notched its 13th takeaway on the season in the form of a Tyler Patmon
pick-six, but gave up a touchdown on the next play. Then again, when you give up
455 yards chances of a victory are signifcantly decreased. NIU quarterback Jordan
lynch had little trouble fnding holes in the kansas defense.

After four lead changes and a touchdown
from junior running back James Sims to open
up the second half, Kansas went into the fourth
quarter with a narrow four-point lead. The
Jayhawks defense wanted to limit Northern
Illinois junior quarterback Jordan Lynch and
help the team go back to .500 with a 2-2 record
on the season.
With a tight game on hand, Lynch failed
to connect with one of his receivers early in
the fourth quarter. Kansas junior cornerback
Tyler Patmon stepped in front of the pass that
was intended for Northern Illinois senior wide
receiver Martel Moore. Patmon picked off
Lynch and ran to the end zone for a 54-yard
play.
This defensive score created a 10-point
cushion with 14:33 remaining in the game.
However, Kansas could not hold the two-
possession lead. Ten seconds after the pick-off,
Moore caught a 65-yard catch and ran for a
touchdown to help put together a 17-point
comeback win.
It was a little bit of a broken play, Kansas
coach Charlie Weis said. The quarterback
is bobbling it and everyone is trying to go in
there and make a play. He flips it and they take
it to the house.
Weis tried to keep the Jayhawks together
after that play with a three-point lead, but the
offense struggled to respond and the defense
had trouble stopping Northern Illinois.
They just made a big play to cut it to a
one-score game, Weis said. Youve got to
get something going, and thats not what hap-
pened.
After an offensive mishap on fourth down,
the defense was forced to defend the Huskies
at the Northern Illinois 29-yard line. Despite
the Huskies having to go a long way to score,
the Jayhawks defense broke apart. Lynch com-
pleted four passes for 42 yards before junior
kicker Mathew Sims connected on a 44-yard
field goal to tie the game at 23.
The Jayhawks offense was on the field short-
ly; they went three-and-out, going backwards
after being on the field for little over a minute.
The defense had to come back to the field
sooner than expected.
Northern Illinois capitalized on a seven-
play drive as junior running back Leighton
Settle pushed his way forward for a two-yard
score, making it 30-23. That touchdown run
was Northern Illinois first since the 8:50 mark
in the third quarter. The Huskies held on to
their lead while Kansas struggled finishing
the game.
Im really disappointed, Weis said. For the
second time this year, you have a two-score
lead in the second half and you cant get over
that hurdle. At the end of the day, you have
a two-score lead that turns into a one-score
lead.
Two weeks ago the team led and had rough-
ly the same score, but could not finish the
game strong.
With the type of quarterback Lynch is and
the type of offense Northern Illinois coach
Dave Doeren runs, the Jayhawks were mis-
matched. At times they were not ready for
Norther Illinois offense. Weis and defen-
sive coordinator Dave Campo know that the
defense has a lot to work on before resuming
conference play in two weeks.
Youre trying to get your best defensive per-
sonnel on the field to match their best offen-
sive personnel, Weis said. There were plays
to be made that we didnt make. We didnt
make plays when we had the opportunity to
make plays.

commentary
Crist not
living up to
expectations
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
When football coach Charlie
Weis declared that senior quarter-
back Dayne Crist would play for
the Jayhawks, many thought Crist
would be the second-coming of
former quarterback Todd Reesing.
Some thought that he would be
the missing piece to the team.
The only problem is that the
piece is still missing.
After four games, the former
five-star recruit has looked like
anything but the answer for the
struggling Jayhawks.
In his debut against South
Dakota State, Crist looked a bit
rusty. Crist completed 17 passes
out of 36 attempts and threw for
169 yards and one touchdown.
Though that may seem OK, com-
pleting 47 percent of your passes
and throwing an interception
against a football championship
subdivision team isnt a great way
to start your career on a new team.
Maybe Crist would shake off
the rust against Rice.
Well, that didnt happen.
Crist threw 16 of his 28 passing
attempts and throwing for 144
yards and one touchdown. But
when Kansas needed a big first
down, Crist threw a costly inter-
ception and Rice kicked a field
goal to claim victory.
And then things only continued
to spiral out of control.
Against TCU, Crists numbers
were slightly better. He didnt
throw a touchdown, but he did
throw for 303 yards. That would
be great, if only those yards con-
verted to touchdowns. Kansas
caused four turnovers, but Crist
couldnt lead the team to the end-
zone. Also, he fumbled inside the
five-yard line, which could have
cut the lead to a one possession
ball game.
With a great opportunity on the
road, the Jayhawks found them-
selves up by three points after a
quick strike by Northern Illinois.
The Jayhawks marched down the
field and then stalled.
On fourth and 17 on the
29-yard line with 10 minutes left,
senior wide receiver Kale Pick
somehow broke wide open.
Crist missed him by a mile, and
hopes of getting a road victory
since 2009 were erased quickly.
To make things worse, Crist only
completed 10 of his 26 passing
attempts for 147 yards. Thats 38.5
percent.
Maybe Crist was over-hyped,
but for a fifth-year player, the
expectations are there. Crist cant
miss wide-open passes that are
guaranteed first downs or touch-
downs. He cant continue to hold
onto the ball for six to seven sec-
onds and take a sack. He has to be
the leader that the team lacks and
make big plays down the stretch
to prevent another dismal season
at Kansas.
If Crist made one less throw
against Rice and one better throw
against Northern Illinois, the team
might be 3-1. Instead, the team
sits on the brink of another ter-
rible season with the piece still
missing at quarterback.

Another one gets AwAy
No fiNishiNg touch
See how the other Big 12 teams fared
on Saturday in the Big 12 recap
DEKALB, ILL. Kansas fans
who were waiting for senior quar-
terback Dayne Crist to lead the
Jayhawks to victory will have to
show more patience.
Since joining the Jayhawks, Crist
has had only one
game in which
he completed
more than 50
percent of his
passes and
it wasnt during
Saturdays 30-23
loss to Northern
Illinois.
Crist connected on 10 of 26
passes for 147 yards as Kansas gave
up a 10-point lead in the fourth
quarter against the Huskies. Crist
accounted for less than half of the
Jayhawks 329 total yards.
It was another Saturday where
running the ball would have to be
relied on, although Kansas coach
Charlie Weis did everything to
keep the running game from being
simple.
With the return of junior run-
ning back James Sims from a
three-game suspension,
the Jayhawks finally had
their backfield at full
strength and celebrated
accordingly.
Weis used the Wildcat
formation, putting
wide receiver Christian
Matthews at quarterback
and giving him many
options at running back. It created
more than enough chaos for the
Jayhawks to exploit holes in the
Northern Illinois defense.
They were pretty sound in the
run game, but they really struggled
last week against Army,
Weis said. We have the
Wildcat available to us,
and we felt it was going to
give us a chance to move
the ball.
Kansas gained 179 yards
and scored two touch-
downs on the ground.
James Sims reached the
end zone on a 26-yard run out of
the Wildcat, and with the forma-
tion working, the Jayhawks man-
aged to march right back to the
goal line on the opening drive of
the second half where Sims fin-
ished it off again with a score.
Kansas chewed up more than six
minutes of clock, covered 71 yards
and completed only two passes
before Sims second touchdown
run.
Kansas was up 17-13 when the
offense and the Wildcat formation
vanished.
Wildcat is effective until they
start stretching to the perimeter,
Weis said. Once they start stretch-
ing to the perimeter then you go to
something else. You dont go away
from it because you dont think its
going to keep working.
As the Huskies defensive ends
began containing Matthews and
his ability to run the offense, the
Kansas defense made its presence
felt as well.
At the start of the fourth quarter,
junior runing back Tyler Patmon
intercepted Northern Illinois
junior quarterback Jordan Lynch at
midfield and returned the ball 54
yards to the end zone for the final
bright spot on the Jayhawks day.
Kansas would miss the extra
point, but remained pleased with
a 23-13 lead. Senior safety Bradley
McDougald tried his best to bring
his team back to earth.
There were a lot of smiles,
McDougald said. I was just walk-
ing up and down the sideline say-
ing next play because there was so
much time left.
McDougalds warning was either
unheard or disregarded. Ten sec-
onds after the Jayhawks had a taken
control of the game, the Huskies
answered right back.
Lynch connected on a jump
pass to senior wide receiver Martel
Moore after the Kansas defense
tried to blitz the Huskies quar-
terback. With nothing but green
turf in front of him, Moore took
off for a 65-yard
touchdown to
make it a three-
point game.
Lynch picked
up his third
100-yard rush-
ing game this
season, and
passed for anoth-
er 235 yards, all culminating in a
Leighton Settle two-yard touch-
down run with just over four min-
utes left in the fourth quarter to
give the Huskies a 30-23 lead.
Kansas would get two more shots
on offense but could not produce
any points. The offense that lived
off the Wildcat formation died by
not converting on anything else.
They brought a little more pres-
sure in the second half, Crist said.
Its upsetting that we werent men-
tally tough enough to finish a game
where we had a two-score lead.

Blocking helps Jayhawks sweep Tech
Behind a balanced performance
both ofensively and defensively,
the Kansas volleyball team swept
the Texas Tech Red Raiders Satur-
day night to begin Big 12 play 1-0.
Defensively, three Jayhawks re-
corded six block assists, and three
more had at least 10 digs. Kansas
outblocked Texas Tech 14-2, which
helped leave Tech with a .080 hit-
ting percentage for the match.
Freshman outside hitter Tiana
Dockery notched six kills, six block
assists and led the team with 12
digs. She said blocking was the key
defensively for Kansas, but that the
Jayhawks back row did a good job
of communicating when the Red
Raiders did hit around the blocks.
It helps so much with us talking
to each other and knowing who is
going to get what ball and fguring
out which defense to play against
their hitters, too, Dockery said.
Te Jayhawks were just as ef-
fcient on ofense, fnishing with a
season-high .371 hitting percent-
age. Middle blockers senior Tayler
Tolefree and redshirt junior Caro-
line Jarmoc led the team ofensive-
ly, fnishing with 18 combined kills
and only one attack error.
Texas Tech kept the score dead-
locked at the beginning of the frst
set, but Kansas used a 4-0 to break
a 9-9 tie. Tech never got closer than
two points afer that, as Kansas
took the frst set 25-16. Te Red
Raiders hurt themselves with nine
errors in the frst set, negating their
nine kills and leaving them with a
.000 hitting percentage for the set.
Kansas fnished the set with 15 kills
and only three errors.
Junior libero Brianne Riley fn-
ished with 10 digs, joining Dockery
and junior setter Erin McNorton
as the three Jayhawks with double-
digit digs. She said the Jayhawks
knew a dominant frst set would
help the Jayhawks keep Texas Tech
from getting back into the match.
We know if we start of the game
our way then the rest should go our
way, too, Riley said.
Te second set became lopsided
much quicker. Kansas began the
set on a 5-1 run, capped by Tole-
free and Dockery teaming up for a
block. Te lead never dipped below
three points afer that and grew to
as many as 10 points. Sophomore
outside hitter Sara McClinton made
three of the Jayhawks fnal four
kills, stopping a brief Texas Tech
run and giving the Jayhawks the
second set again by a 25-16 score.
Coach Ray Bechard said McClin-
ton and the rest of the team were so
efcient ofensively because they
made smart choices about how to
hit the ball throughout the match.
Our setter did a good job of
putting hitters in position to be
successful, but out hitters just
made good choices, Bechard said.
When the ball was there to take
a heavy swing at they did. If they
needed of-speed or to take a little
of they did that, too.
Te third set was similar to the
previous two. Kansas began on a 9-3
run with help from 2.5 blocks from
Jarmoc and redshirt junior outside
hitter Catherine Carmichael. Te
Jayhawks only had one attack error
during the set, helping them stretch
their lead to as many as 11. A block
by Tolefree and junior setter Kara
Wehrs gave the Jayhawks the 25-15
set victory and the 3-0 sweep.
Bechard said Kansas seven total
hitting errors stood out as a posi-
tive because they had 41 errors in
their fve-set victory over Creigh-
ton Sept. 19.
We struggled with that against
Creighton, had double-digit hitting
errors in some sets, Bechard said.
But tonight, just cut down on hit-
ting errors, hit for high efciency,
and blocked very well.
Te Jayhawks Big 12 home
opener is Wednesday, Sept. 26
when they host No. 19 Iowa State
at 6:30 p.m.
