Students elect new
freshmen senators
Five new freshman senators were
elected to serve in the University
Student Senate on Wednesday.
Stephonn Alcorn, Mary Sniezek,
Maddi Duncan, Jake Novicoff and TJ
Blake were voted into ofce out of
27 freshmen who campaigned to ll
ve seats.
The large number of students run-
ning for Student Senate was in part
due to the Student Senate Executive
Staffs diligent work to recruit fresh-
man candidates during the summer
and beginning of the fall semester,
said Tyler Childress, chief of staff for
the Student Senate.
Student senators are expected
to advocate for the students they
represent, reach out to their assigned
organizations and positively promote
the Student Senate to the rest of the
student body, Childress said.
We have tried to continue to
expand the impact and frequency of
student voices, Childress said.
Alcorn, Sniezek, Duncan and
Novicoff decided to run together,
which meant that they asked fresh-
men voters to vote for their team of
candidates, Alcorn said.
Our primary method of campaign-
ing was a lot of face-to-face human
contact, Alcorn said.
Alcorn said that he is excited to get
involved and start making his mark
on Student Senate.
Childress said he commended the
efforts of the freshman class and
the Student Senate to work toward a
more inclusive program.

Resolution to Wetlands
bill amended, passed
Five bills were presented, discussed
and passed at last nights rst full
Student Senate meeting.
However, most of the discussion
was spent on a resolution regarding
a decision the University made to
give land to the Kansas Department
of Transportation (KDOT) for the
construction of the South Lawrence
Trafcway.
The resolution was created because
students werent consulted in the
decision, thus violating a Student
Senate code. It also states that the
decision will have a lasting and
damaging environmental, educa-
tional, and cultural impact on the
Wetlands and University community.
KDOT plans to construct the South
Lawrence Trafcway which will
run directly through the Wakarusa
Wetlands.
The debate resulted partly from
the two different motives of the
resolution and partly because, as
brought up by Senator Zach George,
many of the people in the room were
new to Senate and not familiar with
all the facts.
George said that because the reso-
lution addressed two things the
code and the Trafcway project it
wasnt good governing to pass the
resolution as is.
He amended the resolution to ex-
clude clauses that provided a stance
on the project itself.
After more than an hour of debate,
the resolution passed as amended
28-24 with one senator abstaining.
Mark Savoy, who presented the
bill, said the bill was important to
promote the student voice.
I think I have to be satised
with it, Savoy said. because it
represented the voice of the body and
thats what I was trying to convey
and represent.

NEW YORK Anthony
Weiner's ill-fated mayoral
campaign ended with a string
of fnal embarrassments: He
mustered a mere 5 percent at the
ballot box. One of his sexting
partners tried to crash his
primary night rally. And Weiner
was caught making an obscene
gesture to reporters as he was
driven away.
Outside a "victory" party
where supporters mourned a
disappointing ffh-place fnish
in the Democratic primary,
cameras crowded around
Sydney Leathers, the 23-year-
old whose sexting with the
former congressman brought his
once-high-fying campaign to a
screeching halt.
"Why not be here?" Leathers
asked reporters. "I'm kind of the
reason he's losing. So, might as
well show up."
Another politician with a sex
scandal, Eliot Spitzer, lost the
Democratic primary contest
for city comptroller to Scott
Stringer, the Manhattan bor-
ough president. Stringer took 52
percent of the vote to Spitzer's
48 percent.
Spitzer resigned as governor in
2008 and admitted he paid for
sex with call girls. In exile, he
bounced around television as a
pundit. Ten, just four days be-
fore the deadline, he announced
he was running for comptroller.
On the fnal campaign day for
both men,
the spotlight
fell heavily on
Weiner. His
staf sneaked
him into his
own event,
presumably
to avoid
Leathers, who
had camped
outside his
headquarters
all day hoping to confront him.
His wife, Huma Abedin, who
stood by his side at the height
of the scandal, was nowhere to
be seen.
And afer a concession speech
in which he got choked up as
he spoke of family, a scowling
Weiner was caught by a photog-
rapher giving a middle-fnger
goodbye to reporters as he was
driven away.
Leathers, who has launched a
porn career since the scandal
broke, said Weiner needed "to
stop being an embarrassment to
the city of New York. He's going
to continue this behavior.
If it's not going to be me, it's
going to be some other girl."
At one point, one of Weiner's
supporters scolded Leathers,
saying: "You must really be
ashamed!"
For his part, Weiner acknowl-
edged in his concession speech
that he was an "imperfect mes-
senger" but also
boasted of the
staying power
of himself and
his campaign.
Weiner had
been in politi-
cal exile since
he resigned
from Congress
in 2011 for
sending women
lewd online
messages and pictures. He got
into the mayor's race in May,
and aside from a few dust-
ups with hecklers, was largely
well-received at frst, holding the
lead for most of June and July.
But afer an obscure gos-
sip website named Te Dirty
released X-rated exchanges
between Weiner and Leathers
that took place well afer the
candidate quit the House of
Representatives, Weiner and
his sexting pseudonym, Carlos
Danger once again became a
national punchline.
With 98 percent of precincts
reporting Wednesday morn-
ing, Weiner was far behind in
the city's Democratic mayoral
primary.

comeback runs out of steam

Apple unveiled two new iPhones
on Tuesday: the sleek and powerful
iPhone 5S, and a new type of bud-
get iPhone, the iPhone 5C.
According to Apple, the iPhone
5S is up to twice as fast as the iP-
hone 4 and 5 due to its new pro-
cessor and iOS capabilities. Te 5C
will only receive a slight upgrade
on processing power but is avail-
able in a variety of colors.
Te iPhone 5S will
start at $199 under
a two-year contract
with a major service
provider. Te 5S has
an A7 chip built in
that is twice as fast as
its predecessor, and
40 times faster than
the original iPhone,
according to Apple.
Te new fnger rec-
ognition system will allow users to
unlock their phones by placing one
of their fngers on the home button.
Te iPhone 5S also received a
camera upgrade that adds features
such as burst mode, improved dual
LED-based fash and slow motion.
Te 5S will be cased in an alumi-
num alloy body, and is available in
three colors: space gray, silver and
gold. Te phone will be $199 for
the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB
and $399 for the 64GB, with a two-
year contract. Without a contract,
the starting price for an unlocked
5S will be $649.
In my opinion, the selling point
of the 5S is the addition of the fn-
gerprint scanner and the new pro-
cessor. Te A7 chip probably feels
way faster than the 5, Gregory
Leung, a junior from Hong Kong,
said. Leung did not expect to get
the iPhone 5S right away, but he
said that the
5S is the true
iPhone out
of the two
that were re-
leased.
Te iP-
hone 5C will
be available
starting at
$99 under
a two-year
contract. While there is much spec-
ulation as to what the C means,
it defnitely doesnt stand for cheap;
an unlocked no-contract version
of the phone will start at $549,
according to Apple. It does not
contain many of the key features
of the iPhone 5S but is available in
fve colors: green, blue, yellow, pink
and white.
Te 5C is kind of dumb, since
all youre paying for is really just
an iPhone 5 with color, Karynn
Glover, a sophomore from Olathe,
said about the unveiling. Glover
claimed that she is much more ex-
cited about iOS 7, the new operat-
ing system that will be released on
September 18.
Te update will include phone,
FaceTime and message blocking;
an improved version of Siri; auto-
matic app updates; a new display
system; Apples AirDrop and other
features. iOS 7 will be available for
the iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2, iPad
Mini, and iPod touch.
Both of the iPhones will be avail-
able for purchase on September 20.

Lawrence is the ninth smart-
est city in the United States, ac-
cording to Lumosity, an online
brain training and neuroscience
research company. Te San Fran-
cisco-based company compiled
an aggregate score of their users
results in games considered to be
brain training, using their geoloca-
tion to track their position.
Te rankings were based of
of fve determinants: Speed, At-
tention, Flexibility, Memory and
Problem Solving. Of the fve cate-
gories, Lawrence ranked eighth in
attention but only 35 in memory,
their lowest rank-
ing.
Te games are
derived from com-
ponents of an in-
telligence test, said
Susan Kemper, a
Roberts distin-
guished professor
of psychology at the
University. Tey
take whats already out there on
these tests, and turn them into
games.
According to the companys web-
site, the games refect user intelli-
gence, but are
also designed
to improve
core cogni-
tive functions
among its us-
ers.
L a wr e nc e
saw a signif-
icant rise in
the rankings
in 2013, afer not placing in the
Top 25 last year.
I feel like Lawrence defnitely
deserves a place among the smart-
est cities in the nation, Jared War-
ren, a senior from Wichita, said.
KU has some of the best academ-
ic programs and professors any-
where.
In general, college towns across
the nation were well-represented
in the list, as the Top 10 was entire-
ly composed of cities that are cen-
trally located around a major uni-
versity. Kemper says this is a result
of more awareness and concern for
brain upkeep in these areas.
Students are very worried about
staying ahead, always looking for
the edge, Kemper said. College
towns also bring many other peo-
ple that are concerned about cog-
nitive performance, and have an
increased overall awareness of the
efects of aging on cognition.
Lawrence was one of four cities
in Kansas to appear on the list,
with Topeka ranking 96, Wichita
appearing at 211, and Salina at 338.

Any student walking down
Massachusetts Street on a Friday
night can recognize its diverse
feeland even more diverse line-
up of storefronts. Tose seeking
casual clothing, odd collectibles
or personal gifs should check out
Hobbs, referred to online as Te
Host of Cool. Hobbs is located at
700 Massachusetts St., diagonal
from Noodles & Company. Own-
ers Mark Swanson
and daughter, Shau-
na Swanson, frst
opened their doors
in 1997 and have pro-
vided Lawrence with
a mixture of clas-
sic, new and unique
products ever since.
Before Hobbs came
about, Mark and his
wife, Kathleen, start-
ed a womens clothing line called
Spectators. Te Swanson family
has owned and operated Specta-
tors for 30 years. When the Hobbs
space became available they
thought they would move Specta-
tors to that location, but gradual-
ly decided to open another retail
store. Tey bought the spot with
no real business plan and went
from there.
As Mark recalls, when Hobbs
frst opened they didnt even have
fxtures to hold the merchandise.
Instead, they wrapped shipping
boxes the items came in with
green plastic wrap and used these
as their fxtures.
We used them for about eight
months, Mark said. It was a cri-
sis, but worked out real slick.
Te overall inspiration for
Hobbs came from the 1962 movie
Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation.
It was a feel-good movie, Mark
said.
Mark and Shauna wanted to
take this feel-good emotion and
incorporate it into Hobbs. Tey
do so by
traveling to
fnd new
and unique
products.
Mark said
that for
Hobbs mer-
chandi s e,
New is the
name of the
game. By
constantly bringing in new prod-
ucts, they keep their customers
coming back.
Dustin Pickett, a junior from
Overland Park, has been an avid
fan of Hobbs since high school.
I love it, Pickett said. Its
wacky and kooky. You can spend
an hour there at a time.
With so many new products, its
hard to pick a favorite. Pickett sug-
gests taking a look at the Kansas
shirts, ranging between $30 and
$34. Mark said to keep an eye out
for the ray gun priced at $9 or, for
those seeking more extravagant
goods, the hand-made pocket
knives from France, which are
priced between $100 and $300. He
also said their most popular item,
brought back due to high demand,
is the Nunzillaa quirky wind-up
nun that only costs $5.
We are in people business,
Mark said. Our goal is to make
people happy. At the end you feel
like a million dollars. Its a feel-
good business.
Hobbs products may range
across the board in price, but the
items are so unique that anyone is
sure to fnd something that speaks
to them. Be sure to check out new
products by following Hobbs on
Instagram (hostofcool) and Tum-
blr (hobbs-hostofcool.tumblr.

Building a Better KU
Bookstore!
If youve been to the KU
Bookstore at the Kansas Union this
week, you likely noticed a lot of
activity. On September 2, the KU
Bookstore began work on a major
renovation. We sat down with
Estella McCollum, KU Bookstore
Director, to see what was up.
Why are you renovating the
main Bookstore? It was time. The
Kansas Union renovation should
result in an updated look that will
provide our customers with a great
shopping experience.
Howdid you decide on the
design? We worked with Sabatini
Architects to come up with the
store look and feel, counter de-
signs, lighting, signage, and color
scheme. Its a very bright and open
design.
Howis the renovation
progressing? We are right on
schedule to be completed by No-
vember 15th. Bruner Construction
has been great to work with and is
progressing quickly on the project.
Any snags so far? No snags.
There was a lot of noise when they
removed the original fooring! The
new carpet will be installed soon,
and the end result will be worth it.
What changes can we look for
once its completed? Were excited
about our new Tech Shop, Art &
School Supplies Shop, Textbook
Service counter, and more. Its a
great new layout too.
Any tips for customers as the
renovation progresses? The north
entry into the Union Bookstore is
currently blocked of, but theres
still easy access into the store at
the main stairwell. New merchan-
dise is arriving daily, and weve
marked down some great items
to make room for the renovation.
There are a lot of good buys in the
store right now.
Anything else? As a local,
non-proft store that has support-
ed the KU Campus since 1946,
we are excited to share the new
features with the very customers
that make the 100+ student jobs
and store updates possible.
Okay, it sounds like there are a
lot of good reasons to shop the KU
Bookstores.
Well see you at the U!

College is expensive at least it
is for Audrey Shamet.
Even with grants and scholar-
ships, Shamet, a frst-year phar-
macy student from Shawnee, fnds
herself starting pharmacy school
almost $40,000 in debt with the
federal loans she took to pay for
her frst four years in college.
With the ever-increasing cost
of higher education, many like
Shamet are forced to take on stu-
dent loans to help pay for college.
In the 2012 school year, about 63
percent of the Universitys under-
graduate students fled for need-
based aid, according to the Ofce
of Institutional Research and Plan-
ning. Students dont have to pay
back federal loans until afer they
graduate, and Shamet is defnitely
counting on having her pharma-
cist degree to pay for her loans.
Some students, however, might
fnd themselves having to repay
their loans earlier than expected.
Federal policy requires that all
non-graduate school students re-
ceiving federal loans be enrolled
in at least six credit hours. Grad-
uate school students are required
to take at least fve credit hours.
When students fall
below the limit by
dropping or failing
a class, they may
have to repay part
or all of their stu-
dent loans received
for the term.
A new policy
approved by the
Universitys Fi-
nancial Aid and
Scholarship ofce
will enforce this
regulation by monitoring students
with federal loans and requiring
anyone who falls below the credit
hour minimum to provide a Doc-
umentation of Attendance to the
FAS ofce, which will determine if
the student had participated in the
course, dropped or failed.
I think their fear is that they
give money to students who dont
attend and therefore just take the
money and dont apply the money
to what is loaned to them for, said
Howard Graham, the associate
director for
a c a d e m i c
programs in
the First-Year
Expe r i e nc e
ofce. Te
government
is helping
provide fnan-
cial assistance
to attend
college, and
a t t e nda nc e
at college
means, most importantly, attend-
ing the classes that you take in
college.
Old assignments and exams with
student names and dates can be
submitted by instructors or stu-
dents to prove involvement in
classes. If the student cannot prove
participation, FAS will determine
how much of the federal loans the
student must repay.
Te new policy is not a radical
development, but an obvious one
that students agree with.
Basically if the school is going to
give you money, I think you need
to prove to them that you are ac-
tually using it for class, for your
academics, Shamet said.
For Shamet, meeting the six
credit hour requirement is not
a problem. She is committed to
completing her education and ex-
pects other students getting federal
loans to do the same.
I think you need to prove that
you are going to classes and that
you are going to graduate to be
able to pay back those loans,
Shamet said.
Only 5.5 percent of University
students who graduated afer tak-
ing out federal loans failed to pay
back that loan on time in 2010.
Tis is considered low. Nationally,
9.1 percent of students defaulted
on their federal loans within two
years, according to the US Depart-
ment of Education.
Tis new policy will help the
University adhere to the federal
policy and add greater pressure on
students to commit to their classes.
Tat might be good for account-
ability, if students have to come up
with documentation, said Matt
Bevins, a senior from Topeka. If
they cant, losing a loan, that could
be good for solving our loan prob-
lem in the country, making sure
students get through college.
FAS and University students and
faculty will have to wait to see the
full efect of the policy, but the
message of the policy is clear: at-
tendance matters.
Unequivocally, absolutely, 110
percent, class attendance is the
most vital component of attending
college, Graham said. Tat is sep-
arate from trying to understand
the governments reasoning.
Edited by Jessica Mitchell
Being an 18-year-old, you are le-
gally considered an adult. But not
everyone feels like that is the true
age of maturity.
Some people become adults be-
fore they turn 18, others afer, giv-
ing weight to the saying age is only
a number. Responsibility is what
seems to be behind the reality of
being an adult.
While your legal identity of
adulthood begins at 18, maturity
plays a role in the mentality of be-
ing an adult.
Asad Morani, a freshman from
Overland Park, said that although
he is 18, he does not feel as mature
as an adult.
Our parents arent really there
to do everything for us anymore,
he said. We have to go out into the
world and explore it for ourselves.
We have to make our own mis-
takes.
For Bethany McMillen, a junior
from Manassas, Va., the age marks
the beginning of a transition.
To me, when you turn 18, you
start adulthood, she said. You are
able to vote, join the military, buy
lottery tickets, and other things.
Tats the beginning of the pro-
cess.
If turning 18 is only the begin-
ning, what defnes an adult? Ac-
cording to Emily Rauscher, assis-
tant professor of sociology, it is
diferent for each individual and
has many components.
In sociology, things that are as-
sociated with adulthood or the
transition to adulthood are things
like living independently, having a
child, getting married or having a
partner, and having a job, she said.
I think those things are probably
the main factors that are looked at
in whats called the transition to
adulthood.
At the age of 21, Americans are
legally able to purchase and con-
sume alcohol, which is a symbol of
even more responsibility. Rauscher
said it is one of the main indicators
of adulthood.
Tose who are legally able to
drink might see it as a status mark-
er of adulthood, she said.
McMillen said being 21 gives
many young people a real feeling of
being an adult because the ability
to purchase alcohol creates an ex-
pectation to be more responsible.
I think that you are ofcially an
adult at 21 because you can buy al-
cohol, she said. All the responsi-
bilities you had when you were 18
are continued and more are added.
McMillens mother began giving
her more responsibility when she
turned 22.
I had to start paying for car in-
surance, my apartment, and gas,
McMillen said. Shes easing me
into adulthood and its kind of
scary.
Adulthood is a process rather
than an age, with responsibility as
its catalyst. It comes at diferent
times and is diferent for every per-
son. While the indicators of being
an adult are arguable, adulthood
seems to be focused around re-
sponsibility.

While some believe that adulthood starts at 18 or 21, others think adulthood is a process that can happen at any age.
Independence and responsibility, not age, help define maturity
State tax cuts, revenue gaps, and
reduced funding for higher educa-
tion, combined with debt ceiling
debates, sequesters and rising costs
have lef students paying more
than ever. When looking for ways
to make ends meet next year, dont
overlook scholarships that dont
require essays or fantastic Grade-
Point Averages.
For example, this last year, the
U.S. Bank Scholarship Program
gave out 40 $1,000 scholarships
to students for simply being a U.S.
citizen enrolled in a university.
Te application can be found on-
line and takes less than an hour to
complete.
Another hassle-free scholarship
opportunity is the monthly $2,000
No Essay scholarship ofered by
College Prowler. Tis scholarship
is open to all students and the only
requirement is registering for a
free account. High school students,
college students and even graduate
students can apply every month.
ScholarshipZone gives out $10,000
each month. Te
application takes
less than two min-
utes and the only
requirement is that
you are 18, a U.S.
Citizen and en-
rolled at a univer-
sity. Even though
these scholarships
require registration
on their website, it
seems like some-
thing easy to do for
free money.
Zinch.com gives out $1,000
weekly to high school seniors and
college students. It takes less than
10 minutes to apply, but requires a
two to three sentence response to a
question of the week. Te response
is limited to 280 characters, which
is basically two tweets. Students
can apply every week.
Te Dr Pep-
per franchise
will give away
$ 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0
through the
Dr. Pepper
Tuition Give-
away.
S t u d e n t
winners must
be between 18
and 24, and
submit a short
story illustrat-
ing why they deserve the scholar-
ship. If the story receives 50 online
votes, the applicant can submit a
video, which Dr Pepper will use to
select fnalists to compete for up
to $100,000. Te top fve fnalists
on the Dr Pepper Leaderboard
could win $10,000. Dr Pepper is
also giving away $1,000 a day for
following @DrPepper on Twitter
and using the hashtag #DrPepper-
Tuition to explain your use for the
money.
Te pressure of fnding ways to
pay for college ofen becomes less
of a priority afer students gradu-
ate high school, but the expenses
dont stop afer your freshman
year. Tere are many opportuni-
ties to help ease the increasing
fnancial burden, if you make it a
priority.
Im willing to do anything that
will help me pay for school. I think,
as lazy college students, we ofen
just forget that scholarship money
is money we can receive from fll-
ing out a form. You dont even have
to really work for it, said Janae
Gagnon a freshman from Hays.
For some, it may be tough to get
motivated, but in the end scholar-
ship money can lighten the tuition
load.
Scholarships are important even
while enrolled in college because
they help alleviate some fnancial
burden from parents and students.
Tey also motivate students to
do well and stay involved in col-
lege life and the community, said
Crissy Ryun a sophomore from De
Soto. Te best advice I can give is
to not give up.
Take twenty minutes out of your
day and submit a few applications.
Te money is there and it will be
given away no matter what. Arent
you deserving?

TOPEKA Kansas will move
more quickly than it had planned to
provide hundreds of disabled resi-
dents with in-home services that
help them live as independently as
possible, Gov. Sam Brownback an-
nounced Wednesday.
Brownback said his administra-
tion is immediately releasing $37
million that was set aside by legis-
lators to address the waiting lists for
services such as help with chores
and personal assistants. Te mon-
ey, to be spent over the next two
years, will come from savings from
an overhaul of the states Medicaid
program, which covers health care
for the needy and disabled.
Te state was paying for in-home
services for about 8,400 develop-
mentally disabled residents and
5,700 physically disabled residents
as of mid-August. Nearly 3,000 de-
velopmentally disabled and about
2,000 physically disabled Kansas
residents were on waiting lists. Of-
fcials now expect 250 developmen-
tally disabled and 400 physically
disabled people to be removed from
the waiting lists, shrinking the lists
by 13 percent.
Te governors announcement
highlighted a behind-the-scenes
discussion among administration
ofcials and advocates for the dis-
abled about whether the state had
to wait until January to release the
funds under the budget approved
by lawmakers. Te legislation said
the money couldnt be spent if ser-
vices for the developmentally dis-
abled werent included in the Med-
icaid overhaul. Tat wont formally
occur until January, though the pol-
icy already is set.
Brownback said Kansas ofcials
are now confdent enough that
federal ofcials will sign of on the
change to move forward with re-
ducing the waiting lists. Federal of-
fcials must consent because Med-
icaid is jointly funded by states and
the federal government.
Were beginning this early,
Brownback said. Its my efort and
desire that we get those waiting lists
pulled down as rapidly as we can.
Kansas turned over the admin-
istration of most of its $3 billion-
a-year Medicaid program over to
three private health insurance com-
panies in January, contending it
would provide better-coordinated
health care at lower costs.
Advocates for the developmental-
ly disabled resisted skeptical of
how theyd be treated by for-proft
companies and the state exclud-
ed them from the overhaul until
next year. Te overhauled Medicaid
program, renamed KanCare, covers
about 342,000 Kansas residents.
Brownback proposed in May that
the state shif its expected KanCare
dividend to the waiting lists for in-
home services for the disabled, but
legislators made it contingent on
ending the carve out for the de-
velopmentally disabled.
Last month, ofcials with In-
terHab, which represents groups
providing services to the develop-
mentally disabled, sent Brownback
a letter, pressing him to have the
funds released immediately. Te
letter said state agency ofcials
were saying the money wouldnt be
released until early next year.
Were just glad they took another
look at it, said Tom Laing, Inter-
Habs executive director.
And Rocky Nichols, executive
director of the Disability Rights
Center of Kansas, said: Sooner is
obviously better than later, and so
were glad theyre releasing the dol-
lars sooner.
Senate Minority Leader Antho-
ny Hensley, a Topeka Democrat,
said the Republican governors
announcement Wednesday was a
political statement, adding, Tey
wanted to make themselves look
good.
But Lt. Gov. Jef Colyer said the
administration is simply trying to
help some of the states most vul-
nerable residents.

It was 12 years ago yesterday that
the World Trade Center towers
were attacked. We realized that day,
as a nation we are vulnerable, but as
a people we are strong.
It is in the spirit of that strength
and resilience that Tonya Evans
founded the Goldstar11 tour. Ev-
ans was in New York City when
she decided to remind the people
of the U.S. of their responsibility
as a nation to not forget those men
and women that gave the ultimate
sacrifce for our freedoms.
Te tour, which is free to the pub-
lic, kicked of on Aug. 31 in Fort
Myers, Fla., and visits 16 cities and
11 states before arriving at its fnal
location, Salt Lake City, on Oct. 7.
Te American Fallen Warrior Me-
morial Foundation is sponsoring
Goldstar11 and all donations will
go toward raising awareness and
funding a new memorial in Kansas
City, Kan.
We just wanted to bring hope
and healing to those people that are
unable to make it to Ground Zero
in New York City and pay their re-
spects, Evans said.
Evans hopes to accomplish this
by giving people a chance to be in
the presence of two historic 9/11
artifacts that were pulled from the
wreckage of the Trade Centers afer
the attack.
Both artifacts will fnd perma-
nent homes following the com-
pletion of the project. Minus
some slight cleaning, the sections
of concrete, named Star11 and
UT6, are in the same condition
they were as they were pulled from
Ground Zero. Star11 will reside
in the new memorial in Kansas
City. UT6 will fnd its perma-
nent home in Salt Lake City at the
Fort Douglas Military Museum.
Marketing the tour was easy.
Te story tells itself, these ar-
tifacts are a part of history, said
Jim Potoski, Goldstar11 public re-
lations director. We didnt have to
do a whole lot of traditional adver-
tising because people were already
excited to come out and show their
support.
Lawrence residents will have a
chance to support the cause when
the convoy comes through Law-
rence and makes its fnal Kansas
stop at the Dole Institute of Politics
at 3 p.m. this Friday. Being a Law-
rence native and having founded
the project here in town, Evans
thought it appropriate to cap of
the Kansas portion of the tour here.
Te event is packed with musi-
cal entertainment, celebrity ap-
pearances and visits from veterans
and families. Evans and Potoski
hope that Lawrence citizens will
come out and show their support
by participating and donating to
the cause. Anyone that is unable to
participate on Friday can also show
his or her support by going to af-
wmf.org/goldstar11 and clicking
the red donate tab.
Te chance to be in the presence
of these artifacts is a once-in-a-life-
time opportunity that should not
be passed up, Evans said.

In honor of Yom Kippur, also
known as the Jewish New Year, the
KU Hillel group is holding its own
celebration.
Te Yom Kippur celebration ser-
vices will take place at 7 p.m. on
Sept. 13 at the KU Hillel building,
located at 722 New Hampshire.
Te celebration of
Yom Kippur fol-
lows the lunar cal-
endar. Te day is
flled with prayer
and refection in
preparation for
the new year and a
fresh start.
Tis is the frst
time in a long
time that the
Jewish New Year
starts at the same
time as the fall semester, when stu-
dents are getting a fresh start with
their academics, said Rabbi Zal-
man Tiechtel, director of the Rohr
Chabad Center for Jewish Life.
Its unique that we come back to
school and then already a week lat-
er its the new year.
Tiechtel said that the main goal
is to provide a home away from
home for the students unable to
spend Yom Kippur with their fam-
ilies. Another goal is to make the
services more
engaging and
interactive for
the students.
Te fami-
ly-like atmo-
sphere is what
appealed most
to Rebekah
Durham, a
junior from
Me m p h i s ,
Tenn.
When Im
home for Yom Kippur, its a time
for all the family to be together,
she said. Its tradition.
Instead of leading prayers to the
services attendees, Rabbi Tiechtel
said the participants will pray on
their own and focus on how they
want to change and grow.
Tere will be a lot of commen-
tary and much more discussion
and insights, he said.
KU Hillel is also reaching out
through Facebook. During the
days leading up to the event,
questions were posted about how
students want the new year to go.
Some of the responses will be dis-
cussed during the service on Fri-
day.
Tis holiday is more refective,
Tiechtel said. If someone wants to
get an idea of the Jewish faith they
are more than welcome to come.

Kansas will face Rice in Houston on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
After a short losing streak, the Jayhawks head to InnTowner Invitational
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
I
f head coach Charlie Weis
had insisted, the Jayhawks
could have run the ball for
400 yards or more - instead
of 280 - in their 31-14 victory
over South Dakota last week
and they could have found
the end zone more than the
four times they did. Te fnal
score would have been infated
and Kansas might not be the
six-point underdogs to Rice on
Saturday.
Fortunately for fans and
his team alike, Weis was
looking ahead to this weekend
and beyond. With a new
quarterback and a receiving
corps that didnt catch a
touchdown pass all of last
season, he tried getting the
passing game going against an
overmatched South Dakota
defense.
Unfortunately, that isnt how
things unfolded.
Quarterback Jake Heaps frst
seven passes were incomplete
and he fnished 10-for-20 on
the game, a potential reminder
to last seasons passing
struggles under Dayne Crist.
On Tuesday at his weekly press
conference, Weis was quick to
say the performance was better
than any game last season, and
he was right.
Well, partially.
Heaps can hit a moving target
and looks like a competent
quarterback, putting him a few
steps ahead of Crist already.
But the receivers were still
dropping passes like it was the
cool thing to do, missing a few
perfectly thrown balls from
Heaps that would have been
big gains.
Usually its the K-Mart
special, Weis said when asked
if he has any motivational
tactics for such mistakes.
Teyre selling hands, why
dont you go buy a pair?
It might not be so funny afer
Saturday against Rice, whose
two best players, according
to Weis, are cornerbacks
Bryce Callahan and Phillip
Gaines. Callahan leads the
country with an average of
0.38 interceptions per game
for his career and Gaines was
Conference-USAs Preseason
Defensive Player of the Year
afer fnishing second in the
country last season with 18
pass breakups.
Te Rice coaching staf wont
be afraid to load up players
near the line of scrimmage
to stop the dangerous Kansas
running game while Callahan
and Gaines lock up receivers
in 1-on-1 coverage, at least
until those receivers prove
their hands arent made from
stone. Its a matchup that could
foreshadow the rest of the
season, because we saw last
year that a great running game
doesnt translate to a victory
on its own.
We will see on Saturday if
they have K-Marts in Houston.
A
day afer the 12th anniversary
of 9/11, the memory still stands
strong in our hearts. Te memory
of loved ones lost, heroes fallen and a
collective resilience amongst American
people.
Te Major League Baseball season was
nearing the close of the 2001 season when
tragedy struck. Te season was halted and
didnt return for 10 long days.
Over that stretch the two big league parks
in New York, Shea and Yankee Stadiums,
took on a much larger role. Tey became
shelters, storage facilities and meeting
areas. Aid shipments were sent to these
stadiums and city ofcials used them for
numerous things during the cleanup efort;
they became much more than just sporting
venues.
On Sept. 21, 2001, baseball returned. Te
frst game afer the tragedy was between
the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves
at Shea Stadium. Tis game was a lot more
than just another important game in a
pennant race. Tis game gave America the
opportunity to return back to normalcy.
Baseball represents the countrys solidarity
and resilience. Tat game being played
showed that this country was strong, that
we werent going to back down, that when
we get knocked down, we as Americans,
get right back up.
Being from New York, I had the pleasure
of attending this game as a young child.
Tis was truly one of the most emotional
days of my entire life. When Diana Ross
started things of singing God Bless
America, backed by a choir from Harlem
and brought the entire stadium, including
the players, to tears, I knew we were due
for a magical evening. Instead of the Mets
usual overlapping NY logo on their hats,
they wore NYPD and FDNY caps to show
their respect and admiration for the brave
heroes of New York.
Everyone in the crowd spent nearly the
entire game waving American fags and
holding patriotic signs in the air.
Trailing the Braves 2-1 in the bottom of
the eighth inning, Mets second baseman,
Edgardo Alfonzo, was intentionally walked
to bring Mike Piazza to the plate. Tere
was one out and Piazza was a double play
waiting to happen. But
double plays were not the
only thing that Piazza was
known for hitting.
Braves pitcher and New
York native, Steve Karsay
shook of the frst couple
signs from catcher Javy Lopez
until they agreed on the right
0-1 pitch to throw to Piazza, a
fastball. Piazza took a hellacious
cut and drove the heater to deep
center feld. Center felder Andruw
Jones could only turn and watch as the ball
few right over head, almost as if he were
admiring the shot. Perhaps he knew that
that home run meant more to the game.
For that moment Jones was just another
one of the 56,000 fans in attendance, wait-
ing and hoping the ball would carry out
of the park and lif the spirits of millions
nationwide. Once Piazza made contact,
everyone watching knew it was gone.
Te stadium erupted. Grown men were in
tears, random strangers were hugging and
it seemed as if everything else had been
paused, allowing the world to celebrate and
be happy again.
Camera shots of those in the crowd
appeared on the screen, catching a smile
come across the face of a New York City
frefghter.
Piazza
came out for
what had to be
one of the loudest
curtain calls in
major league baseball histo-
ry. Te Mets went on to win what became
arguably the greatest sentimental victory in
league history. Tis was a victory that all of
America could celebrate. Piazzas home run
has been given a multitude of nicknames
such as, A swing to heal a wound.
Tere was no better man to put all of
Americas weight on his shoulders than
Piazza. Nancy Ramsey of Sports Illustrated
writes, When Mike Piazza homers in the
frst game played in New York afer 9/11,
the raucous cheering of the crowd shows
how much baseball helped inch thecity
toward normalcy.
Tis home run, this game, these players
had given America hope again.

Q: Who went on to win the National
League East in 2001?
A: Atlanta Braves
Mike Piazza went on to become the all-
time leading home run hitter for Major
League catchers with 427.
Pittsburgh sweeps
American League
wild-card leader Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas These Pitts-
burgh Pirates keep saying their goal
this season was always bigger than
just having a winning record.
The American League better watch out
if they are able to make it to their rst
World Series since 1979.
Clint Barmes homered and drew
a bases-loaded walk as the Pirates
completed a threegame series sweep
in an interleague matchup of wild-card
leaders with a 7-5 victory Wednesday
over the slumping Texas Rangers.
"You see how close this race is, so
that's the way we've been taking it
every day," Barmes said. "And I don't
see that changing."
The Pirates (84-61), who ensured their
rst winning season since 1992 with a
victory in the opener at Texas, nished
the series with their ninth consecutive
interleague road victory.
They nished 15-5 overall during the
regular season against AL teams.
"That's a big-time record," manager
Clint Hurdle said. "They're challenging
because they're like pop quizzes. You
got to watch video and maybe you've
seen them. I had a little history here
with a few of the hitters. It's just been
the way we've been able to show up."
After being swept in three games
at St. Louis last weekend, the Pirates
moved within a halfgame of the NL
Central-leading Cardinals, who hosted
Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
"The thing I'm most impressed with
is our consistency, our focus and our
preparation," Hurdle said. "It doesn't
waver. We didn't come here with sweep
on our mind. We came in here to win the
rst game."
Texas (81-64) has dropped nine of
its last 12 games, a stretch in which
the Rangers have lost four consecutive
series. They have gone from a three-
game lead in the AL West to 2 behind
Oakland before the Athletics played at
Minnesota on Wednesday night.
Oakland also plays the Twins on
Thursday, when the Rangers have their
last scheduled day off, before a three-
game weekend series in Texas between
the AL West's top two teams.
"We'll be ne," second baseman Ian
Kinsler said. "We've got an off day and
then come back ready to play. It's all
we can do."

During Kansas weekly team
meeting this Tuesday, Charlie Weis
asked his team to raise their hand
if anyone has won a road game at
Kansas. Tere were no hands in the
air to be counted.
Last year the Rice game defned
the Kansas football season and was
an indicator of how the remainder
of the season unraveled. Tis sea-
son Kansas faces
Rice again on
the road with
a diferent, unfa-
miliar feeling on
their mind a
road win.
You may re-
member the gist
of the Rice game
last year - Kansas
was up 24-13 in
the fourth quarter, before surren-
dering its lead and losing 25-24 to
Rice.
While some of this teams new
faces werent at Kansas for the loss,
junior linebacker Ben Heeney was
and recalls how it spelled out how
the rest of the season would go.
We had that gamewe kinda
just didnt fnish, Heeney said.
Tat was the big thing last year,
just not fnishing games.
He knows how crucial Saturdays
Rice game is and what mark it will
carve out for this season.
Tats what we are really focused
on through this year, Heeney
said. Tis is a really pivotal game
for how our season is going to go.
Were ready for it.
Kansas, who currently holds a 19-
game road-los-
ing streak, last
experienced a
victory away
from home on
Sept. 12, 2009
at University of
Texas at El Paso.
Weis knows
his team has a
chance to get
talked to about
a discouraging
losing streak.
Winning this week could get
losing on the road out the way,
Weis said. And winning in three
weeks against Texas Tech could get
the conference losing streak out of
the way. So this, this just gives us
an opportunity to put one of those
aside.
Kansas, who saw multiple leads
crumble last year including
games against Texas Tech, North-
ern Illinois and Texas where they
had viable opportunities to close
out the game knows how one
game can write a diferent script
for the rest of the year.
Weis has emphasized winning
and winning alone can cure the
transition for the Kansas program.
Te Jayhawks have a chance to
validate that claim when they face
Rice.
Weis, however, doesnt treat the
Rice game as a one-game agenda
or latch any type of revenge to this
game. Instead, he chalks it up as
another one in the process of cul-
tivating a winning culture.
I dont talk about revenge for
what they did because we were the
ones that blew it, Weis said.
Keon Stowers, along with Heeney,
is the other defensive captain of the
team who also knows the severity
level of this game and knows that
everything changes with a win on
Saturday.
Tis is another step in the matu-
ration process of our team, Stowers
said. If you want to be a factor you
have to win on the road, theres no
excuses, this is a must-win game.

FOOTBALL
Te womens golf team geared up
for its 2013-14 season by practicing
in Ireland.
Head coach
Erin ONeil,
encouraged by
Athletic Direc-
tor Sheahon
Zenger, took the
team overseas
for eight days
in mid-August.
ONeil said
the trip was a
once-in-a-life-
time experience
that exposed
players to new golf courses, a dif-
ferent culture and a beautiful desti-
nation for team bonding.
In Ireland, the Jayhawks had
many opportunities that golf fanat-
ics could only dream of, like prac-
ticing on courses that Rory McIl-
roy ofen plays on while hes home.
Tey experienced a whole new type
of golf, which many on the team
hope to bring back to Kansas to im-
prove their game.
Te team also
got to compete
against the Irish
National Team.
Despite playing
well on a foreign
course, Kansas
fell to the Irish
National Team 5.5
to 3.5.
Fresh of one of
the programs best
seasons in Kan-
sas history, the Jayhawks aim to
achieve what they fell short of last
season.
We talked about setting goals
and we decided on trying to have
a team stroke average of 299, which
would be a stroke average of 75 per
player, ONeil said. Last year we
were so close to our frst NCAA
tournament. Out of 59 teams that
got in, we were ranked 64th. Tis
year we are trying to focus on the
little things.
ONeil and her assistant coach-
es are always looking for areas of
improvement outside of their own
teachings. Tis year, they attended
a seminar with one of the best put-
ting instructors in the world, Mike
Shannon, to try to bring back new
techniques and tips for the team.
When it comes to the success of
the season, its important to view
the team as a whole.
We have to have the mindset of
everyone is a leader on this team,
leading in their own particular
way, said ONeil. To be successful,
everyone has to think and play like
a leader.

Sophomore quarterback
Sams electries at K-State
Jayhawks hope for lucky season
after eight-day training in Ireland
MANHATTAN Gerald Leon-
ard remembers watching Daniel
Sams perform on the high school
felds along the Gulf Coast of Lou-
isiana. Tere were times when the
coach would stand back and sim-
ply marvel at his talented young
star.
Plays would break down and
Sams would make something out
of nothing.
It was just like magic.
"Tat's a unique quality to have,"
Leonard told Te Associated Press
this week. "Te improvisation stuf
that he was able to do on the feld
for us when things broke down
and didn't go as designed, they
were a lot of times highlight roll
material."
Sams only threw for 577 yards his
senior year at Salmen High School
near New Orleans, but he piled up
more than 3,000 all-purpose yards
while also playing wide receiver,
running back, kick returner and,
yes, even the punter. Tat got the
attention of schools such as Okla-
homa and LSU, many of which
wanted him to play just about any-
thing except quarterback.
But when Kansas State coach Bill
Snyder gave Sams a shot to play
the game's marquee position, he
jumped at the opportunity. Now,
Sams is the Wildcats' leading rush-
er while coming of the bench in a
two-QB system, and he's making it
hard for Snyder to keep him of the
feld headed into Saturday's game
against Massachusetts.
"I'm just thinking about making
the most of my opportunities,"
Sams said. "If I'm successful, I'll
see my playing time increase."
Sams backed up Heisman Tro-
phy fnalist Collin Klein last sea-
son, and was in a heated race with
junior college transfer Jake Waters
to start this season. Waters won
out for an opening loss to North
Dakota State and a 48-27 win over
Louisiana-Lafayette last Saturday
night, but with every hip-swivel-
ing run, Sams is making his mark
on the Wildcats.
"Daniel has the ability to accu-
rately distribute the football either
down feld or in a short controlled
passing game," Leonard said. "As
he grows and improves on his
reads in that ofense, he has plenty
of capabilities to be a great throw-
ing quarterback."
In the meantime, the Wildcats
are rolling with a two quarterback
system.
Waters is completing more than
70 percent of his passes for 279
yards per game, while Sams has
run for 80 yards on just 10 car-
ries including two electrifying
touchdown runs.
"You've got two guys who need to
be on the feld and we have to fnd
ways or continue to fnd and culti-
vate ways in order to utilize both
of them, Snyder said.

Jayhawks hope to reverse
losing streak in Wisconsin
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com

Kansas will play its last
nonconference road matches of
the season this weekend as the
Jayhawks travel to Madison, Wis.,
for the 22nd annual InnTowner
Invitational.
Along with Kansas, the
competitive feld includes Bowling
Green, No. 25 Wisconsin and
Milwaukee.
Currently on a two-game losing
streak, the Jayhawks open the
tournament on Friday at 11 a.m.
against Milwaukee. Kansas fell
to No. 24 Creighton on Tuesday
in a match where the Jayhawks
saved seven
match points.
F r e s h m a n
middle blocker
Tayler Soucie
set a program
record with 12
blocks in the
match while
redshirt senior
middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc
led the team with 12 kills. Last
Saturday, the Jayhawks dropped
the home opener in fve sets to
Arkansas. Jarmoc and junior
outside hitter Sara McClinton led
the team with 18 kills each.
Wisconsin (6-0) is of to a hot
start for the season afer victories
at the Pepperdine Invitational
and the North Dakota State
Invitational. Te Badgers, who
are one of nine Big Ten teams in
the American Volleyball Coaches
Association Top 25, vaulted
into the rankings afer their two
tournament victories. Tey come
into this years invitational as
defending champions and have
won the tournament 16 total
times.
Wisconsins victories include
a fve-set victory over Northern
Iowa and a three-setter against
Louisville. Kansas won its
only previous meeting against
Wisconsin in 2004.
Afer losing its frst three
matches of the season, Milwaukee
(3-3) won its next three to claim
the Akron Invitational last
weekend. Te Panthers return fve
starters and their libero from last
season, including senior middle
blocker Rachel Neuberger, who
was named the tournaments
most valuable player at the Akron
Invitational. Milwaukee has won
the Horizon League regular season
title in eight of the last ten seasons.
Bowling Green (1-4), like
Kansas, had a tough pre-
conference schedule to begin the
year. Projected to fnish frst in
the Mid-American Conference
East division by the conferences
coaches, the Falcons have played
No. 13 Brigham Young University
(BYU), No. 22 Purdue and No. 25
Creighton already this season. Te
Falcons lone victory came against
BYU at home in the Hampton Inn
Invitational.
Kansas only meeting against
Bowling Green was in 1994 with
the Jayhawks earning the victory.
Tis tournament will end a
9-out-of-10 game road stretch for
the Kansas squad. Tey will be
back home to play in the Kansas
Invitational on Sept. 20-22.

Fans got a good idea of what kind of team Kansas was last week against
South Dakota. Largely, that identity was run rst, pass second. Head coach
Charlie Weis looked as if he were toying with different running backs in
different situations. But with a lot on the line this weekend, not only will
Kansas have to nd consistency in the backeld, theyll have to establish a
passing game.

The Kansas defense looked solid in a lot of places last week. The Jayhawks
looked good against everything except a running quarterback. They have
another dual-threat quarterback on the menu again this weekend in Rice
QB Taylor McHargue. Rice is better than South Dakota, and the defense
holds the key to the teams rst road win since 2009.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Kansas was plagued by the kicker in last years loss to Rice at home, but
newcomer Matt Wyman is 1-1 so far. After that, Special Teams was one of
Kansas strong suits last week. Getting good eld position off of punt and
kick returns like the Jayhawks did against South Dakota will be huge.
COACHING
There a lot of interesting decisions to be made this weekend. The biggest
question is how the running and passing game will be split up. Even
further, it will be interesting to see which receiver gets the most looks and
which running back will get the next most touches behind James Sims. Its
anyones guess right now.
PLAYER TO WATCH
AT A GLANCE
Ben Heeney. One of Kansas evident weaknesses last week was the ability
to contain a running quarterback. This week, they face another experienced
dual-threat quarterback. Heeney will be largely responsible for keeping an
eye on Rice quarterback Taylor McHargue.
This game is huge for Kansas. If the Jayhawks lose this one, it severely
knocks at the teams bowl goals. Wins are going to be hard to come by for
Kansas this year, and if the Jayhawks drop a non-conference game, a lot of
hope could be lost.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
QUESTION MARKS
The Kansas defense can contain the Rice offense. If Kansas allows McHargue to run wild and lengthen plays
and pick up 3 the Kansas offense may not be able to keep up. If Rice scores more than 20 points, Kansas will
have problems then and likely down the road.

Rice displayed more than just a ash of offense when they scored 31 points
against Texas A&M last week. The team played some incredibly fast college
football when it ran 90 plays during the game. Reminiscent of some Big
12 teams, Rice provides a sort of pre-test for what offenses the Jayhawks
will face in the future in league play. Rices quarterback Taylor McHargue
nished the A&M game with 180 yards and two touchdowns as Charles
Ross ran for 107 yards and scored. McHargue also nished with 78 yards
on the ground, showing that he can be a dual-threat quarterback.
Hardcore Kansas football fans should know that Rices kicker Chris Boswell
kicked the game-winning eld goal at Memorial Stadium as time expired
last year. During the A&M game last Saturday, he was 1-for-2 in punts,
including a 43-yarder.
Phillip Gaines: Gaines was out of the opener against A&M, who was
tabbed a Preseason Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and was
consensus All-Conference USA selection after leading the league. He also
nished second nationally with 18 pass breakups in 2012. He looks to get
Rices defense back on track and is the physical safety who might cause
problems in the Kansas offense.
COACHING
AT A GLANCE
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Rices coaching staff is abundant with former Jayhawks. Three of the four
Owls graduate assistant coaches are Kansas alumni. In addition, Rices
offensive coordinator/running backs coach, John Reagan, was a member
of the Kansas coaching staff for ve seasons under Mark Mangino.
Rice head coach David Bailiff led the team to its second bowl victory in six
years last season when he beat Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl, making
him only the second coach to lead the Owls to multiple bowl games. Bailiff
is a solid coach who is looking to get back on track after a rough loss.
Expect Rice to be more than ready here; with the team facing their second
straight year against Kansas, they know they can match up.
Rice beats the Jayhawks. Rice is certainly good, but if Kansas wants to change how they are perceived, a victory is
a must. A win here can accomplish many things; it will not only end a 19-game losing streak on the road, but it will
continue to help Kansas football trend upward as a program.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Rice break Kansas hearts once again? Rice last year was brutal as they came back from 13-24 to win the game.
Also, can Rices offenses be as good against Kansas as it was in College Station? Rice will be playing at home for the
rst time this season and will be comfortable in their offense. Especially off a bye week, look for them to be well-rest-
ed and fastpaced.
?
COACHING
While Rice got a little roughed up, momentum shouldnt matter for them with the experience they have and 19 of 23
starters.
DEFENSE
Rice will return 10 starters on defense this week. Although they gave up
52 points to Johnny Manziel and the Aggies, they still feature experienced
players. Senior safety Corey Frazier and sophomore defensive tackle
Christian Covington, who have been picked for preseason All-Confer-
ence USA by the coaches, have been the main factors of an athletic and
physical Rice defense.

Last weekends results were ones
the Kansas soccer team hopes to
learn from, but not repeat. Kansas
sufered a 4-0 defeat to Arizona
State last Sunday afer playing to
a 1-1 draw with Arizona. Te Jay-
hawks have the
chance to put
that weekend be-
hind them when
San Francisco,
San Diego and
Nebraska travel
to Lawrence for
the Kansas Invi-
tational on Sept.
13-15.
I think it was
good that that happened at this
point in the season, senior for-
ward Caroline Kastor said. It was a
good wake-up call. It lets everyone
on the team, especially the younger
girls, know that you cant just take a
game of. Every game is important.
When asked what happened on
Sunday, Kastor said the team didnt
show up and didnt play its best
game.
Tis weekend, the Jayhawks will
match up against San Diego on
Friday and San Francisco on Sun-
day. San Diego has a 4-2 record,
including a 0-1 record on the road.
In their last match, the Toreros
earned a 2-1 victory over Missouri
in overtime. Sophomore defender
Caitlyn Kretzschmar scored the
winning goal in the 10th minute
of extra time. Te goal was assist-
ed by sophomore goalkeeper Mi-
chelle Craf, who launched a long
pass to Kretzschmar. Before that
match, they lost
6-1 against Texas
A&M.
San Francisco
enters the Kan-
sas Invitational
with a 4-1 record,
but has never
been tested on
the road, as all
of their match-
es have been at
home. Te Dons rely heavily on
their defensive efort, and they have
won their four matches by scoring
a total of six goals. Last weekend,
they beat Harvard 1-0. Freshman
forward Lexie Krueger leads the
team with two goals including a
last-minute game-winning goal
earlier in the season against San
Jose State.
Before these games this weekend,
the Jayhawks are looking to prepare
and alter their game to improve
their performance.
We changed things around a
little bit, and theyve been open
to that, coach Mark Francis said.
Te attitude has been really good.
Te team is taking this time to
make some changes and tweak
some of its game-play. Francis said
there will be some changes to per-
sonnel and tactics. Te main goal is
to create more ofense.
We are just revisiting a few things
we had gone over in preseason and
making sure they understand some
of those things, Francis said. We
have really gone back to basics. Its
nothing complicated. Its just mak-
ing sure they are all on the same
page.
Kansas is led in scoring by Kastor,
who has three goals and two assists.
Junior midfelder Jamie Fletcher is
next with one goal and two assists.
Junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
has had 28 saves and seven goals
scored against her.
Tis is the frst weekend of the sea-
son the Jayhawks will not be on the
road for at least one of their games.
Te game on Friday is at 4:30 p.m.
and will be shown on Metro Sports
and ESPN3. Sundays match against
San Francisco is at noon.
I dont expect anything but our
best Friday, especially coming of
Sunday, Kastor said. I think weve
seen some glimpses of a lot of great
things that we can do as a team.

Wide recievers crucial for
Rice game this weekend

rst pitch, Royals win 6-2
FOOTBALL MLB
It would have been easy to come
to two diferent conclusions on
Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps
frst game. If you watched the
game, you probably were im-
pressed. If you looked at the box
score, you probably werent.
Te missing link: several drops
by Kansas wideouts. Heaps frst
stats collected as a Jayhawk were
ugly early because of numerous
drops spread across the Kansas
wide receiver crew.
Heaps wasnt too mad.
Obv i o u s l y
you want your
statistics to re-
fect how you
personally feel
that you played,
but Im not too
concerned with
it, Heaps said.
Every time it
happened I just went up to them
and let them know that Im com-
ing right back at them.
Dropped passes were one of the
biggest concerns for the team in
its home-opener victory against
South Dakota State last Saturday.
Every player has had an of
day and everybody has those mo-
ments so I defnitely dont think
its something that people should
be concerned about, said senior
wideout Josh
Ford. Were
going to get it
right. Youll see
a better result
this week.
Kansas needs
to be able to
call the pass
play with con-
fdence. Tey can already do so
with the run game, but if they cant
do the same sort of damage in the
air, Kansas may not be able to dis-
tinguish this years team from last
years team by seasons end.
If Kansas was confdent in its
passing game, it certainly wasnt
refected in last weeks play call-
ing. Of Heaps 20 attempts, 15
were thrown in the frst half, and
11 were thrown in the frst quar-
ter. Kansas was noticeably more
comfortable running the ball,
which it did 50 times.
I think in order for us to win
the game were going to have to be
balanced, Heaps said. Weve got
great backs and we feel confdent
in our passing game so were going
to have to have that 1-2 punch.
Ford even believes that the wide
receiving crew is actually one of
the teams advantages this week-
end against Rice on the road.
Our receivers are bigger than
their corners, Ford said. Im
pretty sure were faster too. I think
with me Justin [McCay], Chris-
tian [Matthews], and Tre Par-
malee, I think we defnitely out-
match their secondary if we play
to our ability.
Te Rice secondary tormented
Dayne Crist last year, allowing
him to complete only 16 of 28
passes. Rice cornerback Bryce
Callahan had two interceptions.
A defense with 10 returning start-
ers should never be taken lightly,
and Kansas doesnt intend to do
so.
Heaps acknowledged the fun-
damental identity of the Rice de-
fense multiple times. Not many
fundamental defenses get beat
solely by a running-oriented of-
fense, so Kansas will have to resort
to the air.
Tis game is huge for Kansas.
A loss to a non-conference op-
ponent with a schedule where
victories will be hard to come
by would be devastating for the
Jayhawks. Avoiding it is simple.
Kansas wide receivers need to
catch the ball. Is it a problem fans
should be concerned about this
weekend?
No, said Heaps.
No, said Ford.

Kansas looks to remedy
away game losing streak
CLEVELAND Alex Gordon
homered on the game's frst pitch,
James Shields dominated afer a
shaky frst inning, and the Kansas
City Royals beat the Cleveland
Indians 6-2 on Wednesday in a
matchup of teams fghting for an
American League playof spot.
Kansas City took two of three in
the series between clubs that are
in contention for the second wild
card spot in the AL. Te Royals,
who entered Wednesday trailing
Tampa Bay by three games,
moved a game closer to the
Indians. Cleveland was 1 games
behind the Rays.
Te Royals had a home run, a
triple and a single on the game's
frst seven pitches to take a 2-0
lead.
Kansas City added a run in the
frst inning.
Shields (11-9) gave up two runs,
two hits, and hit a batter in the
bottom half before taking control.
Michael Brantley had a two-run
single in the frst, but Shields
didn't allow another hit until
Jason Kipnis' leadof single in the
ninth. He retired 16 of 17 going
into the ninth, but was removed
afer allowing singles to Kipnis
and Carlos Santana.
Shields allowed four hits, struck
out seven and walked one. Greg
Holland retired the last three
hitters for his 42nd save.
Gordon jumped on a 90 mph
fastball from Scott Kazmir (8-8)
and lined it into the seats in right
feld for his 13th career leadof
homer. Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo
Cain added RBI singles.
Te Indians won the frst game
of the series and fnished 5-4 on
their homestand, but failed to gain
ground in the playof chase for
the second straight day. Cleveland
will begin a seven-game trip in
Chicago on Tursday. Te Indians
and Royals meet again in Kansas
City for a three-game series next
week.
Kansas City went 26-18 in a
stretch of 44 games in 44 days.
Emilio Bonifacio followed Gor-
don's homer with a triple. Right
felder Drew Stubbs attempted to
make a diving catch, but the ball
rolled past him, allowing Boni-
facio to end up at third. Hosmer
singled to center to make it 2-0.
Kazmir retired the next two
hitters, but Justin Maxwell singled
and Cain lined a single to center
for the third run. Te Royals
then pulled of a double steal, but
Jamey Carroll popped up to end
the inning.
Shields also struggled in the frst.
Michael Bourn walked and Mike
Aviles was hit by a pitch. Te
runners moved up on a ground-
out, and Brantley singled to center
with two out.
