Student Senate has started

a project that, if successful,


would give priority enrollment
to students at the University
who are also parents.
Senate executives have a
meeting with Hilltop Child De-
velopment Center this Turs-
day, which will be the last step
before taking the idea to the
registrars ofce.
If implemented, the Univer-
sity would be the frst in the
Big 12 to ofer this option to
student-parents. Senators have
been doing research into initia-
tives like this at other schools
and have only found a small
amount of smaller colleges. No
large state schools have done
this yet and the University
would be on the forefront of
this policy.
Morgan Said, student body
president, said many parents
at the University have hectic
schedules and this would make
one piece a little easier.
I think parenting alone is
probably the hardest job the
in world so to pair that with
school and in most cases a
job is such a tough balancing
act and many students have
reached out to me since we
started this, indicating their ex-
citement about this, Said said.
Jeremy Fite, executive direc-
tor of Hilltop Child Develop-
ment Center, said he is excited
about the initiative and said it
help parents graduate as soon
as possible.
It would be nice to have our
parents get priority enrollment
because I think it keeps them
motivated and get them en-
rolled in classes quicker, Fite
said. Te easier you make it
on parents the more likely they
are to graduate, so by providing
priority enrollment for classes,
plus we ofer child care, we are
trying to be as convenient as
possible to parents to increase
the likelihood they will fnish
their degree.
Te policy would help allevi-
ate stress many student-parents
feel when organizing class and
child care schedules each se-
mester.
Life happens, especially
when you have children, so you
want to get done as quickly as
possible, Fite said.
Said said the decision to work
on this came this summer
while working on platforms for
non-traditional students at the
University. She said this was a
great frst step, but that the of-
fce hopes to continue to work
with smaller groups of non-tra-
ditional students to help meet
their needs on campus.
No group is too small (for us)
to really work to change their
four years here and thats our
goal, Said said.

SURVIVORS STORY
KU student tells story of mother who survived breast cancer
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
Two days afer Christmas
in 2012, Angel and Gregory
Reeves were on their way to buy
groceries in Pleasant Hill, Mo.,
when they received a phone
call from the doctors ofce. Is
someone with you? Can you
come in? Tey did not know it
yet, but their world was about to
drastically change.
Te Reeves oldest son, KU
sophomore Adam Reeves, said
the whole family was worried
following the phone call on that
otherwise ordinary day. Once
Angel and Gregory came home,
they sat all of their children
down to give them the news.
Angel had been diagnosed
with breast cancer.
It was a shif in gravity kind of
feeling, Adam said. From that
point on, everything changed
priority wise and the way the
world was going to work until
mom was better.
Just seven weeks before, An-
gel had given birth to her sixth
child, a baby girl. Afer the
pregnancy, Angel developed
a golf ball-sized lump in her
breast. A couple weeks before
Christmas, Angel had the lump
removed, being told the lump
was not cancerous. Te doctors
were wrong.
[My daughter] came into the
world in a hurry and started us
on this crazy journey, Angel
said.
Te Reeves contacted the
University of Kansas Hospital
for a second opinion and were
told that Angels cancer was tri-
ple negative, a more aggressive
form of breast cancer. Te hos-
pital insisted Angel begin che-
motherapy treatment as soon as
possible.
Her family and doctors con-
vinced her to begin treatment.
But that did not stop Angel.
Even on treatment days, Angel
continued to come home to
look afer her kids, Adam said.
Whether she really felt like it
or not, thats just her personal-
ity, Adam said. To be incred-
ibly strong and having these
issues in all honesty highlighted
it to all of us how hard she was
going to work.
When she could, Angel
searched for scholarship op-
portunities for Adam. Adam
said afer fnding out about his
mothers diagnosis, she said
something positive might come
out of it for him. It didnt take
long for her prediction to come
true, as Adam was awarded the
Ulman Cancer Foundation for
Young Adults Scholarship in
2013.
Its exactly like her. Instead of
worrying about herself and be-
ing mopey about it, shes going
to make some positive out of it,
Adam said.
As a mom and homemaker,
Angel takes pride in supporting
and taking care of her family.
She always got up in the morn-
ings and took care of her kids,
continuing even during treat-
ments. One of Angels methods
for coping with treatment was
to make small goals for herself
every day, like making sure all
the beds were made.
We just tried to keep things
normal as possible for every-
body because I didnt want
them to see any huge changes
or for it to afect them negative-
ly, Angel said. I wanted them
to see that it could be OK and
they didnt have to worry about
things.
On normal days, Angels hus-
band, Gregory, would take the
kids to school, which allowed
Angel to sleep while her baby
did. Just 12 weeks into her new-
borns life, Angel could not lif
or carry her.
Tat was really hard, Angel
said. We had this new baby
and I felt like I couldnt do much
with her.
Angel said Adam helped with
the kids and took them wher-
ever they needed to be. Tis
responsibility was a big one, but
he knew he had to carry it for
his mother.
It was that frst feeling I ever
had that I can do this no mat-
ter what because I need to do
it for someone I love. It was a
very diferent leadership feel-
ing [than] Ive ever had before,
Adam said.
Angel also struggled with her
treatment. Afer completing
several rounds of chemothera-
py, Angel began to lose her hair.
Te transition was difcult for
both Angel and Adam. Adam
said he remembers the day she
cut it of and began wearing
wigs. Afer that point, Angel
never saw herself without a wig
on.
Shed close her eyes to put on
the wig and shed never see her-
self bald, Adam said. It was a
lot of work to make her realize it
was OK and she was still beau-
tiful and it didnt matter what
she looked like at that point in
time.
On not-so-normal days,
Adam said it was hard to not
let his emotions get the best of
him. In 2013, the family trav-
eled to Lawrence in preparation
for Adams freshman year. An-
gel received chemo the day be-
fore and the days activities took
a toll on her body. She passed
out at one point during the day,
Adam said.
I remember feeling really bad
because I felt like it was my fault.
Just being there and being able
to be strong for her when she
was not feeling herself and not
letting my emotion mess with
that so that I could be strong for
her, Adam said. Its a sobering
experience to say the least.
Angel had her last chemother-
apy treatment the frst week of

NATIONAL STATS:
One in eight women will be
diagnosed with breast cancer in
their lifetime. (nationalbreastcan-
cer.org)
Each year it is estimated that
over 220,000 women in the
United States, of all ages,
will be diagnosed with breast
cancer 40,000 of them will die.
(nationalbreastcancer.org)
2,150 men will be diagnosed with
breast cancer and approximately
40 will die each year. (national-
breastcancer.org)
Death rates from breast cancer
have been declining since 1990.
(nationalbreastcancer.org)
PREVENTATIVE CARE:
Regular mammography screen-
ings help catch most breast
cancer cases at an early stage.
(Susan G. Koman Foundation)
A mammogram isnt something
a woman needs to worry about
until shes 40, unless shes having
some other kind of symptom or
notice something is different.
Dr. Jenny McKee, education
program coordinator at Watkins
Memorial Health Center
IN LAWRENCE:
In Lawrence, the only place to
get a mammogram done is at
Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Or
they also have some satellite ra-
diology units in Lawrence as well.
But we dont do mammograms at
Watkins.
Dr. Douglas DeChairo, direc-
tor of Student Health Services
SELF EXAMS
Many women nd out they have
breast cancer because they detect
something themselves before they
have a mammogram. Women
should do a self breast exam every
month. Its important to do it at
the same time every month and
not to do it while youre on your
period. The importance of doing
a self-exam cannot be stressed
enough. It is critical.

A greek task force held its
frst meeting Monday night to
discuss how the Greek com-
munity can address sexual
assault.
Te presidents of the KU
Panhellenic Association and
Interfraternity Council gave
reports on sexual assault and
the task force was updated on
Student Senate discussions.
Members also talked about
the future of the task force.
Te Panhellenic Association
and Interfraternity Council
have come together to create
a framework for additional
sexual assault programming,
which will be part of a new
member education that each
chapter will be able to person-
alize. Te programs will ad-
dress prevention and aware-
ness of sexual assault, as well
as how the house will deal
with it.
Te greek task force will be
involved in reviewing these
programs, as well as looking
at other measures each house
is taking to address sexual as-
sault.
It will help hold us to a high-
er standard by creating more
programming, awareness
and education, said Maggie
Young, president of the KU
Panhellenic Association and
a senior in Chi Omega from
Olathe. It also lets us be more
self-governing, so theres no
excuse for letting it happen or
not speaking up.
Young said she believes ad-
dressing sexual assault at a
chapter level will be the most
efective way to promote
change.
Were a smaller group, and
we recognize that we have the
power to manage it within our
own facilities, Young said.
Its necessary because what
weve done in the past isnt
working, so we are taking an
extra step to ensure we erad-
icate the problem from the
community.
Young said one of the goals
of the task force is to show that
the greek community is taking
an active stance in the issue
and will be accountable.
Tis way everyone can be
aware of what were doing to
tackle it, Young said.
Morgan Said, student body
president and a senior in Pi
Beta Phi from Kansas City,
Mo., said action from within
the greek community will en-
courage discussion, education
and change.
Te greek community
wants to ensure it keeps up
with the rest of campus, Said
said.

June 2013, followed shortly by
a mastectomy. Several months
later, she had her fnal re-
construction surgery, during
which no cancer could be
found.
I never doubted that it was
going to be gone, Angel said.
I never had this overwhelm-
ing fear that we were going to
go in and get any other news
besides that.
Adam said through it all, his
mothers strength is what al-
lowed her to keep fghting.
If she wouldnt have been
able to handle as much, I dont
know how we would have
been able to help boost her
morale if she hadnt helped
herself like she did, Adam
said. In all honesty, shes just
a miracle.
Still cancer free and celebrat-
ing her youngest daughters
second birthday this year,
Angel admits the possibility
of cancer coming back comes
to mind from time to time.
Tis past summer, she caught
a stubborn cough and saw
a doctor. Angel had a com-
puterized tomography scan
done to make sure no cancer
had spread or grown into her
lungs. Luckily the results were
negative.
Of course that nagging is
still always in your head if its
going to come back or not,
Angel said. Its just behind us
and hopefully we dont have to
go through anything like that
again.
Although Angel said it was
by no means a fun experi-
ence, breast cancer was not as
menacing as she had thought
it would be. When it comes to
defeating it, she said even the
smallest acts of kindness from
others can help.
I hope people arent com-
pletely fearful of it. For me,
it wasnt as bad as I feared,
Angel said. People can get
through it and come out the
other side and be OK.

Daisy Hill dorm construction is on schedule
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjennings
Construction of the two new
freshman dorms on Daisy Hill
is on schedule, said Director of
Student Housing Diana Rob-
ertson. Te project has been
going smoothly and they hav-
ent had any setbacks.
Construction began earlier
this spring starting with the re-
moval of the parking lot across
from Lewis and Hashinger
halls. Since then, the steel
structures of the two new halls
have been put up, with con-
struction workers currently
completing the ffh and third
foors of the north and south
halls, respectively.
Te main focus is to get both
of the halls raised to fve stories
and enclosed before snow hits,
Robertson said. Ten the work
on the interior of the buildings
will continue throughout win-
ter.
Students living on Daisy Hill,
particularly in Hashinger and
Lewis, have front row seats
to the construction progress
and have noticed the changes
since moving in two months
ago. Some students have said
they havent been too inconve-
nienced by the project, but one
minor annoyance is the noise.
Jennie Kohl, a freshman from
Spring Hill, lives in Lewis in a
room facing the construction.
She said the construction usu-
ally gets started between 7 and
8 a.m.
Its gone by pretty fast, in my
opinion, but its kind of annoy-
ing, Kohl said. It wakes me
up pretty early.
John Greenough, a fresh-
man from Tulsa, Okla., lives in
Hashinger, but his room faces
the campus so he hasnt been
bothered by the loud noises,
but hes heard other people
complain.
Its certainly inconvenient,
but its not too big of a deal. I
understand that stuf has to get
done, he said.
Aside from the noise and
having Engel Road relocated,
students on Daisy Hill have
little to complain about with
the dorm construction. Some
students have mentioned the
inconvenience of turned of
water mains, which resulted
in some students not being
able to take showers for a short
time last week.
Te entire building reeked
because the toilets were down,
Greenough said of Hashinger.
Robertson said the shut of
was scheduled and announced
and that the water had been
shut of so they could connect
the new water lines to the old
ones.
Te dorms are scheduled to
be completed by July of 2015,
Robertson said. Te dorms
will be for freshmen only, but
the common area that will
connect the two halls will be
open to all students.

Pollsters help contribute change to the political process
A
s I was sitting
in bed doing
homework, I
received a call from an
unknown number with
a Nevada area code.
Though my boyfriend
told me not to answer, I
did anyway.
Good evening, I am
calling on behalf of
[some polling place]. Am
I speaking with Helayna
Butchman?
I love these phone
calls. It doesnt matter
that they are asking the
same questions, slightly
rephrased for 12 to 15
minutes. It doesnt matter
that the person on the
other end doesnt know
how to pronounce half of
the names theyre asking
for. Nine times out of 10,
I will answer these phone
calls because I think its
important.
Phone polls
help politicians by
determining how theyre
doing, if their campaign
tactics are working and
what needs improvement
in their campaign.
If I say an attack ad
orchestrated by Gov.
Sam Brownback makes
me less likely to vote for
him in the upcoming
election, that signals to
his campaign that attack
ads are not the way to go.
Though Im not voting
for Brownback this
November, discussing
how his strategies make
me unlikely to vote for
him lets his team know
that these tactics are not
working for him. Phone
polls have the potential
of creating healthier
campaigns and elections,
which is good for
everyone.
Phone polls also help
voters and candidates
anticipate whats
going to happen in an
election, giving insight
on whether or not to
campaign harder. This
allows constituents to
be even more informed
and involved in the
democratic process.
Phone polls can be a
hassle, but the next time
an unknown number
calls you, try giving them
a chance. It requires
virtually no work on your
part and has the potential
to benefit the political
and electoral process.

Students should change campus drinking culture
I
f you walk by
almost any group of
friends on campus
Monday morning, you
probably wouldnt be
surprised to hear them
talking about their crazy,
drunken weekend. In
that conversation, you
might hear them talk
about what bar they
went to or how they
were so drunk that they
blacked out. Why is
getting intoxicated to
the point of no memory
an ordinary occurrence?
Although we act like
getting blackout drunk is
normal, it isnt.
It seems that college
students drink only to get
drunk, whereas people
out of college seem to
have more responsible
drinking habits.
Although the majority
of people on campus are
full-time students, local
bars are often packed on
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday nights.
Drinking until the point
of vomiting or memory
loss is dangerous, and
should not be happening
as much as it does on
our campus. Around
90 percent of alcohol
consumed by youth
under the age of 21 is
in the form of binge
drinking, according to
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
While I am in full
support of having a good
time over the weekend
with your friends, it isnt
safe for anyone to drink
so much their senses
become impaired.
With sexual assault
being a prevalent topic
in the news recently, it
is important to discuss
alcohols involvement in
sexual assault. Alcohol
can be a common thread
in these cases, and maybe
there would be a decrease
in sexual assault cases if
alcohol werent a factor.
That being said, just
because someone chooses
to drink an excessive
amount does not mean
they are giving informed
consent to any sexual act.
The University of
Kansas is such a large
school that it makes sense
why our campus has
such a large party scene.
However, it is important
for students to know
their limits. There would
be a lower percentage
of students with alcohol
poisoning, incidents of
blacking out and possibly
a decrease in sexual
assault incidents.
The University headed
in the right direction
by making freshmen
take an online alcohol
awareness class, however,
all students could benefit
from taking a similar
course. It would allow
students to keep the
information fresh in their
minds. It would also be
a great demonstration
of how the University is
not only against minors
consuming alcohol, but
also how the University
wants its students to be
knowledgeable about the
subject.

Students short film to premiere at international festival
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Patrick Clement, a flmmak-
er and non-traditional stu-
dent at the University, is about
to take his short flm that was
inspired by a small town to a
much diferent scene: over-
seas. Te flm, Somewhere
Between Freedom and Pro-
tection, Kansas, will have its
international premiere at the
Uppsala International Short
Film Festival in Sweden,
which began yesterday and
runs through Sunday.
Te flm is about a young girl
who faces a difcult decision
in her small town, having to
choose between her ill grand-
mother and a scholarship.
Clement said he expected the
flm to be warmly received, at
least in Kansas.
You always hope the people
will [like it] in the state that
you made it in, Clement said.
He hopes its well received at
the festival as well, and is look-
ing forward to being a part of
the international scene.
Uppsala is one of the lon-
gest short running flm festi-
vals in Sweden, and is a short
flm-only festival that makes
international selections. Cle-
ments flm was one of three
chosen from the United
States.
Its a great festival, put on
by passionate people, and to
be included this year really is
an honor, Clement said.
He also said since the an-
nouncement for admitted
flms was made within 30 days
of the festival, he is unable to
attend it in person. But he said
hes excited for his flm to be
a part of the festival alongside
the other short flms.
Tats the best part, to see
my flm as part of this amaz-
ing program, Clement said.
I think theres really a cama-
raderie that comes to being at
festivals like that.
In addition to the flm fes-
tival, Clement will screen his
flm at the Public Library in
Pratt Tuesday at 7 p.m., fol-
lowed by a Q&A about the
flm and his experiences mak-
ing it in Kansas.
Western Kansas is such a
wellspring of ideas and places,
and I am shocked that people
dont make more flms there,
its amazing to flm there
untouched, Clement said.
Clement, originally from
Boston, said the flm is neither
a Hollywood blockbuster nor
a comedy, but a drama, which
he said limits the audience. He
said so far, hes happy he has
been able to reach those peo-
ple both in the United States,
and abroad, such as Uppsala.
I want to have [put thought
into] everything that goes into
the flm, he said. For peo-
ple to look at that and think
theres a type of cohesion,
thats a success.
Clement frst spent a month
devoted entirely to pre-pro-
duction. Ten he spent two
weeks shooting the flm in
rural Western Kansas and
two weeks packing up before
coming back to Lawrence,
where he spent the next seven
months editing the flm.
No Hollywood director
would ever admit this, but the
day afer shooting, I thought
that I had wasted everyones
time, and spent a bunch of
money on nothing, Clement
said.
Clement said most of his
flm work has been done out-
side of the University, though
he shot content for the Ofce
of First-Year Experience this
year. He also shot some of the
footage shown at Hawk Week,
such as the video where stu-
dents interacted with each
other in a ball pit by Wescoe.
Howard Graham, the associ-
ate director of academic pro-
grams with the Ofce of First-
Year Experience, worked with
Clement on Hawk Week.
Graham said Clement dis-
played various strengths
while working with the ofce
on the video. He said Clement
had several planning sessions
with them, where they talked
through ideas and chose the
best ones.
He is really talented, Gra-
ham said. He knows how to
take raw ideas and turn them
into a fnished project that
lands with the intended audi-
ence.
Graham said the dozens of
hours of shooting flm result-
ed in the 20 minute-long vid-
eo that was presented at Hawk
Week.
Clement has also applied
for a few other flm festivals
abroad, such as one in Ger-
many.
Filmmaking is a big world-
wide community, Clement
said. Teres a lot of people
doing what Im doing, and I
sure wish that I could go meet
some of them, and share my
experiences.
He said he was selective in
choosing what festivals to ap-
ply to.
You try to sort of target
what festivals will be good fts
since you cant submit to ev-
ery festival, Clement said.
For now, in addition to par-
taking in the upcoming Swed-
ish festival, Clement is look-
ing forward to working on
his next flm as well as several
book projects.
I think we all look where we
can match passion and skill
into something that makes us
happy, and luckily, I think Ive
been able to do that, he said.

Snapchat debuts unintentionally
targeted advertisements on app
By Lyndsey Havens
@LyndseyAlana
Have you ever clicked on a
banner ad? Its doubtful, and
according to Solve Media, an
advertising consulting com-
pany, you are 87.8 percent
more likely to apply to Har-
vard and get accepted and
475.28 times more likely to
survive a plane crash than you
are to click on a banner ad on
a website.
Snapchat users may have
noticed a new addition to
their story feeds this past
weekend, a sponsored Snap-
chat story for the new movie
Ouija. Snapchat, the social
media app that made its claim
to fame with feeting photos
and videos, introduced adver-
tisements that automatically
appear on a users story feed
this past weekend. In doing
so, the company hopes to
change the current ideology
and notions of what an adver-
tisement should be.
Its going to feel a little
weird at frst, but were taking
the plunge, the company said
in a statement released on Fri-
day through its blog. Under-
standably, a lot of folks want
to know why were introduc-
ing advertisements to our ser-
vice. Te answer is probably
unsurprising we need to
make money.
It did feel a little weird.
Tough it may have seemed
intrusive, thats far from what
Snapchat intends. Te state-
ment said while some com-
panies (yes you, Facebook)
spend a lot of time collecting
information on its users in or-
der to create targeted adver-
tisements, Snapchat wants to
steer clear of that altogether.
Considering the primary
demographics of a Snapchat
user, targeted advertise-
ments may be unavoidable
even if they are unintentional.
Business Insider reported the
apps demographics are domi-
nated by teens and millenni-
als between the ages of 13 and
25 and the majority of users
are female.
Regardless of the fact that
Snapchat advertisements re-
frain from targeting individ-
ual users, it still targets a pri-
mary consumer group us.
As advertisements continue
to appear on the app, brands
have already recognized and
tapped into the potential for
promotion through the app.
Live stories started appear-
ing in users story feeds over
the summer, with the inten-
tion of making you feel like
youre right there even if you
cant make it to an event, a
statement from Snapchat said.
While these Live stories es-
sentially eliminate the millen-
nial-created and self-induced
epidemic of FOMO (fear of
missing out), they boost vis-
ibility of an event or brand,
one that millennials would
most likely want to seen or
associated with.
Music festivals such as Lol-
lapalooza, Austin City Limits
and Electric Daisy Carnival
are among the most nota-
ble events to take advantage
of this feature on the app.
Brands such as Red Bull and
the NCAA have created Live
stories as well, all in eforts to
promote and prove the event
or brand remains relevant to
its target audience.
While users can choose to
hide a Live story, the event
or brand still receives visibil-
ity, and while users have the
choice to either click on an
advertisement or not, Snap-
chat still makes the decision
as to what advertisers can pay
to appear in the app at all.
In the same statement Snap-
chat released regarding the
debut of advertisements, it
said, Te best advertise-
ments tell you more about
stuf that actually interests
you. So, whether Snapchat
intended, it seems it will now
be a deciding factor in what
interests its users.

Arabs from Israel risk arrest for
appearing on Arab Idol show
MAJD AL-KRUM, Israel
Teir goal is to win Arab Idol,
the Arab worlds premiere
television song competition.
But the journey Manal Mou-
sa, 25, and Haitham Khalaily,
24, have taken from their vil-
lages in Israel to the compe-
tition in Lebanon could com-
prise a television drama of its
own featuring travel to an
enemy country, Israeli secu-
rity interrogations, and the
complicated identity crisis of
Israels Arabs.
Te two singers are compet-
ing for more than just fame:
they want to be a part of the
cultural world that has been
largely of limits to them be-
cause of the decades-long Ar-
ab-Israeli confict.
Tis is a chance for
Haitham, said Waheeb
Khalaily, Haithams father, in
his home in Majd Al-Krum,
a village in the Galilee, in
northern Israel. For the Arab
world and the whole world to
hear him and say that he rep-
resents a Palestinian people
that clings to its land.
In the bitter confict be-
tween Israel and its Arab
neighbors, Arab-Israelis are
stuck in the middle. Tough
citizens of the Jewish state,
they share the ethnicity, lan-
guage and culture of the Pal-
estinians in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip.
Arabs who remained in Is-
rael afer its creation in 1948,
and their descendants, today
make up 20 percent of the
population. Many identify
as Palestinians rather than
Israelis, watch Arab satel-
lite television and dream
of traveling throughout the
Middle East. But their Israeli
citizenship bars them from
most Arab countries because
Israeli passport holders are
prohibited entry.
Tat includes the Lebanese
capital of Beirut, where many
Arab stars are born.
When the show held its
frst-ever auditions in the
West Bank in March, the
lure of making it big was
too tempting for Mousa and
Khalaily to worry about bor-
ders.
Tey, and other young
Arab singers in Israel, drove
past Israeli military check-
points to stand in line with
hundreds of Palestinians for
videotaped auditions. Mou-
sa, Khalaily and two dozen
others advanced to the next
round in Beirut the following
month.
Te Israeli-Lebanese border
is sealed, so the two used their
Israeli passports to cross into
neighboring Jordan where
they boarded a plane for Bei-
rut. At the Lebanese airport,
they presented travel docu-
ments that the Palestinian
Authority in the West Bank
issued them especially for
the trip, a Palestinian inte-
rior ministry ofcial said.
In Beirut, they passed all
three rounds of auditions
and were chosen to be among
the 26 fnal contestants from
around the Arab world the
frst time Arabs from Israel
have ever been selected for
the show.
Afer Mousa and Khalaily
returned to Israel in May to
wait for the shows taping,
Israels Shin Bet intelligence
service summoned them for
interrogations about their
travel, their families said.
Teir Israeli passports were
confscated and they were
told the passports would
be revoked for up to three
months, the families said.
Trough the help of rights
groups, their passports were
returned within days, Mou-
sas family said.
Te Shin Bet did not imme-
diately respond to a request
for comment.
Israel has sentenced Ar-
ab-Israelis in the past on
charges of traveling abroad to
conspire with militant groups
for attacks against Israel or
to fght alongside rebels in
Syria.
Te same month the two
singers traveled to Lebanon,
Israel arrested a 23-year-
old Arab-Israeli journalist
returning from a confer-
ence there. Ofcials initially
thought he was recruited by
militants but later dropped
the suspicion.
Travel to Lebanon is pun-
ishable under Israeli law by
four years in jail or paying a
fne, said Aram Mahameed, a
lawyer from the Arab-Israeli
rights group Adalah, whom
Khalailys family consulted
afer the contestant was inter-
rogated.
It is a law against the Arabs
in Israel to disconnect them
from other Arabs in the Arab
countries, said Mahameed.
Tough Jewish and Arab
Israelis have faced indict-
ment for traveling to Leb-
anon, their trials generally
do not proceed unless they
are accused of other crimes,
he said, adding that Jewish
Israeli journalists who have
gone to Lebanon have not
been questioned upon their
return.
Mousa and Khalaily are now
in Beirut taping the show,
which is airing weekly on the
Arab satellite channel MBC.
Show producers said in a
statement that contestants
were unavailable for media
interviews due to exhausting

@SkyRolSports
Senior Maria Belen Luduea
and junior Maria Cardona
competed Monday morning
in the semifnal of the ITA
Regional tournament main
doubles draw in Stillwater,
Okla., and lost 6-3, 6-0 to
Oklahoma States sixth-seed-
ed pair of Katarina Adamovic
and Vladika Babic.
Adamovic and Babic went
on to lose in the fnal to Okla-
homa State teammates Vik-
toriya Lushkova and Kelsey
Laurente. Lushkova and Lau-
rente were seeded frst in the
doubles draw and Lushkova
won the singles draw at re-
gionals.
Luduea and Cardona were
one of two doubles pairs
seeded out of the top eight
who made it to the semif-
nal. Tey defeated Oklahoma
States eighth-seeded Carla
Tur Mari/Maria Alvarez 8-3
to advance to the quarterfnal.
Coach Todd Chapman was
happy with how his team
played doubles over the week-
end.
Any competitive player or
coach is never satisfed afer
losing, Chapman said. With
that being said, I believe they
had a good tournament.
Another player who did
well in this tournament was
freshman Smith Hinton, who
won two matches in the sin-
gles qualifying draw and went
on to the second round in
the main singles draw. In the
doubles bracket, Hinton and
her partner, freshman Madi-
son Harrison, advanced to the
round of 16.
As a freshman, Hinton leads
the team with a singles record
of 8-3. She spoke about how
her ftness has helped her ad-
just to college tennis.
My ftness has gotten a lot
better, Hinton said. Here
we do a lot of ftness. My ten-
nis was fne, but the ftness
helped me to feel more con-
fdent playing matches and
I can be out there for longer
than other girls. I feel like Ive
gotten a lot stronger.
She also explained how Lu-
duea and Cardonas success
in doubles has made the team
more confdent going into
doubles competition.
Teyre a really good team,
she said. Its cool to see
theyve played together for
the last two or three years. It
gives a lot of the other girls
confdence that if we practice
with a certain partner or do
whatever coach says, we can
do really well, too.
Most of the team is fnished
for the fall season. Four play-
ers will be sent to Houston
at the end of October for the
Houston Invitational. Te
main tennis season will begin
in January with Kansas facing
New Mexico.

Edited by Ben Carroll
T
he Royals havent
needed Danny Dufy
this postseason.
Ned Yost and Dayton Moore
have pointed out the main
reason for Dufys relegation
to the bullpen has mostly
been his shaky mechanics in
recent starts. Te Cardinals
employed Shelby Miller in
a similar fashion last season
and pitched one inning last
postseason. However, if the
Royals want to defeat the best
pitching staf they have faced
this postseason, Dufy should
take the bump in place of
Jason Vargas or Jeremy
Guthrie.
Dufy didnt end the season
is the best fashion, most
notably against the White
Sox, but one can argue that
Dufy, without question, has
the best stuf on the Royals
pitching staf. Vargas can go
of the rails anytime he gets
hit hard. He has been consis-
tently solid this postseason,
but has still given up three
home runs in two postseason
starts. Fortunately for Vargas,
all of them have been solo
shots, but Vargas production
curtailed along with Dufys
at the end of the regular
season, yielding 18 runs in
his last four starts.
Te Giants ofense contains
a sizable portion of lefies
in its lineup with fve. Over
the season, Dufy has proved
to be tougher against lefies
than Vargas. Dufy is giving
up a .136/.225/.161 line
against lefies compared with
Vargas .266/.306/.355.
Obviously, Dufy would be a
huge stretch to start, but not
entirely out of the question
considering the Royals back
line of the rotation just needs
to hold its court and get to
the sixth inning. Vargas
regression to the mean could
be imminent and more of the
reason to start Dufy.
Tere is also a case to be
made for Dufy to start for
Guthrie, who has only started
in one postseason game
going fve and one-third
innings but never remaining
in total control. His periph-
eral stats are slightly worse
than Vargas. Guthrie gave up
more home runs and walks,
and strikes out fewer batters
than Vargas did in the regu-
lar season. Guthrie is known,
like Vargas, as a pitcher who
pitches to contact and uses
the Royals defense to his
beneft. Tis has worked for
both pitchers thus far in the
postseason, but theres a pos-
sibility things could get ugly.
Dufy was spectacular in
the regular season, leading
all Royals starting pitchers
with a 2.53 ERA during the
regular season and leading
the team to nine wins. If the
mechanical issues hadnt
occurred against the Yankees,
he probably would be favored
to start over Guthrie and
Vargas. With Dufys decline
in velocity and not striking
out as much of batters as he
used to, you can see why Yost
and the front ofce would
take caution. However, if you
compared Dufys ceiling for
making a dominant start, it
would far outweigh Vargas
or Guthries.

Should Danny Duffy start a game in the World Series?
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
NO
YES
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
D
uring an undefeat-
ed run over the
last eight games,
Kansas Citys pitching staf
and defense have been the
key to success. Unlike the
regular season, manager
Ned Yost has gone with a
four-man starting rotation
of Shields, Yordano Ventura,
Jason Vargas and Jeremy
Guthrie.
Troughout the regular
season, starting pitcher
Danny Dufy was among
those four. During the
season, Dufy posted a 2.53
ERA, the best of any start-
ing pitcher on the Royals
roster.
In a game on Sept. 6 versus
the Yankees, Dufy threw
one pitch being before being
taken out due to shoulder
discomfort. His injury
was eventually diagnosed
as an infamed shoulder.
Dufy missed two starts
and returned on Sept. 22,
picking up a win against the
Cleveland Indians.
Going into the postseason,
Ned Yost said Dufy would
be kept in the bullpen to
be used only in relieving
situations.
Dufy is another weap-
on to the loaded bullpen,
with pitchers such as Greg
Holland, Wade Davis, Kel-
vin Herrera and Brandon
Finnegan among others.
Although Yosts move was
unorthodox, it will continue
to make the Royals bullpen
that much more intimidat-
ing against San Francisco.
Dufy made his frst and
only playof appearance
in Game 1 of the ALDS
(American League Division
Series) against the Los An-
geles Angels. Dufy picked
up the 3-2 win, coming in
relief the 10th inning, and
the Royals eventually fn-
ished it of in the 11th.
Yost has made multi-
ple jarring decisions this
postseason. Whether it was
pulling James Shields fve
innings into the wild-card
game against Oakland, or
constantly bunting to ad-
vance runners, regardless of
who was at the plate. So far,
each move has worked out.
When the rotations for the
World Series were an-
nounced for Games 1 and 2,
Dufy again was slotted for
the bullpen. Barring an in-
jury in the starting rotation,
he should stay there for the
entirety of the series.
Yosts decisions have
not only worked out, but
have been to Kansas Citys
beneft. He shouldnt change
anything that has been
working, especially with
how well the Royals have
been playing during this
postseason.
Tat doesnt mean there
wont be an injury, and it
doesnt mean Yost wont
pull something out of his
hat. But for now Dufy is a
weapon out of the bullpen,
and the current starting
rotation gives the Kansas
City Royals the best chance
to win its frst World Series
since 1985.

Commentary: What the Royals mean to me
By Dan Harmsen
@udk_dan
Tis was a proud franchise,
or so I was told.
From 1976-1985, the Kansas
City Royals made the playofs
in seven of 10 seasons and
reached the ALCS in six of
those seven. Te World Series
in two of those six.
In the city I was born in and
call home, Kansas City
where the fountains danced
to the smooth jazz and the
barbecue tantalized was
once a baseball frenzied one.
It was a time when Willie
Wilson few around the bases.
When watching Frank White
play second was like reading
poetry. When George Brett
hit .494 in July of 1980 and
.390 on the year.
Te Royals were 860-701
during that stretch. Te his-
toric run culminated in 1985
when Brett, White, Wilson,
Bret Saberhagen and Dan
Quisenberry paraded around
Liberty Memorial, hoisting
the Commissioners Trophy
afer defeating the St. Louis
Cardinals in the World Series.
Twenty-nine opening days
passed. Twenty-nine All-Star
Games. Twenty-nine trade
deadlines. Twenty-nine
seasons.
Including this years magical
run, the Royals had fnished
above .500 only seven times
since the 11-0 victory in
Game 7 of 1985 World Series.
Te 2014 Wild Card berth
marked the frst time the
Royals had made the playofs
since Bretts heroics almost
three decades ago.
***
My frst encounter with
Kaufman Stadium is blurry.
Te details of the game itself
are lost on me, but I remem-
ber being with my dad in the
biggest crowd of people Id
ever seen. I remember the
smell of hot dogs, the sound
of bat on ball and a smat-
tering of drunkards yelling
obscenities as balls were
dropped and batters struck
out looking. Seven years old
and as impressionable as silly
putty, I looked out from my
seat with a sense of wonder,
and knew Id be coming back.
Ofen.
My birthday, April 9, is near
the beginning of baseball
season, so as an early gif
each year my dad would pull
me out of elementary school
early so we could make it in
time to the K for opening
day. Royals baseball and
my dad signaled the end of
school and the beginning of
summertime.
Gradually, I began to follow
the Royals more closely as I
aged. Players stole my heart:
Mike Sweeney and Angel
Berroa. Carlos Beltran pa-
trolling center feld.
My dad and I would attempt
to manage the team from our
basement television. So many
times, Trey Hillman didnt
listen to us.
To me, born in 1993, Royals
baseball had meant trying
to make it out of May before
being eliminated from playof
contention. It meant the
Royals trying to play spoiler
to teams on the brink of the
playofs. It meant next years
our year.
It never meant late-inning
home runs. It never meant
a highlight-reel defense, the
best back of the bullpen in
baseball history, or even the
playofs.
And it certainly was never
this: a World Series match-
up with the San Francisco
Giants.
To me, Royals baseball
was going to bed before the
game was over on a school
night. My dad had sent me
up to my room in the sixth or
seventh inning and told me I
needed sleep. I went upstairs
begrudgingly, only to stay up
with my Walkman under the
covers, listening to Denny
Matthews as the Royals
pried defeat from the jaws of
victory.
Royals baseball was pre-
tending that I didnt know
the Royals allowed a walk-of
homerun, or made a costly
error or walked the leadof
man. It meant giving my dad
my best incredulous look of
bewilderment as he summa-
rized the game on the drive
to school.
I remember the Royals
losing on a ball that glanced
of a bird in the outfeld. I
remember Ken Harvey get-
ting hit in the back on a relay
throw to the plate. I remem-
ber the Royals losing to the
Indians afer a 10-1 lead.
Royals baseball was watch-
ing Carlos Beltran, Johnny
Damon and Jermaine Dye
come into their own in Royal
blue, only to be traded or
signed elsewhere because
they could no longer be
aforded.
I remember obsessing over
things not specifc to the
Royals success to get through
all the losses: managers,
umpires, ejections, the Hot
Dog derby standings, and,
more than anything, our farm
system.
Royals post-game on the
radio meant listening late
until Josh Ford concluded his
show with a look down on
the farm. Te future: hope.
I dreamed of better days to
come we all did but we
never thought that day would
arrive.
But here they are. I wouldnt
change anything, but would I
do it again?
***
Kansas City lost at least 100
games in four of the fve years
from 2002 to 2006.
Two years ago, the Roy-
als came home for the frst
time of the year afer a 3-3
opening road trip. Teeming
with optimism, they squared
up against the 1-4 Cleveland
Indians who had four batters
in their lineup hitting below
.200.
I rushed home from Cal-
culus class to catch the frst
pitch. My dad was late getting
to the game because of work.
By the time he reached
his seat, and by the time I
found the channel, it was 7-0
Cleveland in the bottom of
the frst. Te loss marked the
second of a 12-game losing
streak. Kansas City fnished
18 games under .500.
Last year, on May 5, the
Royals were 17-10. By the
time the calendar turned to
June, the Royals were 22-30.
Teyd lost 20 of their next
25. Te Royals went 43-27 in
the second half, fnishing the
season 10 games over .500,
but still missed the playofs.
Tere was 2003, when the
Royals started the season 9-0,
16-3, and were 10 games over
.500 by the All-Star break
seven games up on the AL
Central.
Ill never forget Denny Mat-
thews voice crackling over
the air on a makeup game
from a rainout in June 2003.
A September matinee against
the Arizona Diamondbacks,
one of the biggest games of
my young life.
Te Royals were four games
over .500 heading into the
afernoon and just a game
and a half out of frst behind
Chicago and Minnesota.
Tey knocked Randy John-
son around in the frst fve
innings, but blew a three-run
lead late and lost on Lyle
Overbays single in the 10th
inning. You could feel the
playofs slipping through
their hands. Tony Penas
club would fnish the season
seven-and-a-half games back
and would miss the playofs.
Even when the stars seemed
to align, when we really
believed, it still wasnt good
enough.
Tats why I distrusted the
2014 team.
Te Royals front ofce
banked on the fact that they
were a second-half team
afer a frst half that fell short
of expectations, and afer
starting the second half 0-4,
being swept in Boston and
losing the opener to Chicago.
I thought they were done. Put
a fork in them. Id seen this
movie before.
But then, suddenly, this
team refused to be denied.
Te Royals rattled of 24 wins
in 29 games and fnished
their last 64 games with a
.640 win percentage.
Te Royals snapped the
29-year playof drought. Tey
stole the heart of the nation.
Times have changed.
It is a time when Jarrod
Dyson steals second and
third and scores on a wild
pitch. Its a time when
Lorenzo Cain draws com-
parisons to Willie Mays. Its a
time when Mike Moustakas
goes berserk against playof
pitching.
On drives home from
Kaufman stadium, listening
to Royals postgame coverage,
I dreamed of Eric Hosmer
and Moustakas hitting
long-bombs in the playofs.
I dreamed of diving catches
and a closer slamming the
door in front of a sea of blue.
Possibility has become real-
ity. Te Royals are 8-0 in the
postseason. Tis fairytale run
resumes on Tuesday.
Kansas City and baseball,
Baseball and Kansas City. Its
a match made in heaven. Im
just here to enjoy the ride.
Ive been here to enjoy this
ride. And its here fnally.

San Francisco radio
stations ban hit song
Royals

SAN FRANCISCO The popular
song Royals by New Zealand
artist Lorde is getting caught up in
the fervor over the upcoming World
Series between the San Francisco
Giants and Kansas City Royals.
Two San Francisco radio stations
say they wont play the song during
the duration of the World Series. A
Kansas City, Mo., station responded
with plans to play the Grammy-win-
ning track every hour from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. on Tuesday, the rst day of
the series.
A few angry San Franciscans
who dont have a song called
Giants wont rain on our parade,
Tony Lorino, program director of
KZPT in Kansas City, said in a
statement on the stations website.
San Francisco stations KFOG and
KOIT announced the bans last week
as the Giants clinched the pennant
and headed to the series. KOIT
program director Brian Figula said
in a statement that listeners called
for the ban. KOIT is a sister station
of KZPT in Kansas City.
Jim Richards, KFOGs program
director, said the station didnt
want to play a song that repeatedly
says Royals while rooting for the
hometown team.
Were all about the Giants here,
he said, adding that the ban was
completely tongue-in-cheek.
Lorde has told VH1 that a photo
of Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer
George Brett signing autographs
helped inspire her song when she
saw the word Royals on his
uniform.

Football Film Review: Kansas vs. Texas Tech
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
GAME: MICHAEL CUMMINGS
20-32 235 passing yards, 2
touchdowns and 1 INT

The redshirt junior started his
second consecutive game and
threw for over 230 yards for the
second consecutive game an
accomplishment sophomore
quarterback Montell Cozart
never achieved as the starting
quarterback. Cummings threw
two touchdown passes and had a
better quarterback rating (138.6)
than Texas Tech quarterback Davis
Webb. Cummings rushed the ball
for 20 yards on 11 carries and
scored on a one-yard touchdown
run.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
GAME: BEN HEENEY
Heeney had 14 tackles in the rst
half alone, which was the most of
any Kansas player in a half. The
senior linebacker nished the day
with a season-high 21 tackles and
17 were solo. Heeney intercepted
Davis Webb for his rst inter-
ception of the season and took it
37 yards, which set up a Kansas
touchdown.

PLAYER KANSAS STRUGGLED TO
CONTAIN: DEANDRE WASHINGTON
The Kansas defense couldnt
contain DeAndre Washington. The
junior running back didnt score,
but Washington forced Kansas to
play the run rst, which opened
up all the passing plays for Texas
Webb. Washington had a game
high 23 carries for 164 yards.
The Red Raiders rode Washington
because he averaged 7 yards per
carry.

OFFENSE SUMMARY
The offense was able to surpass
350 yards of total offense for
the second straight game. Seven
different receivers caught a pass
from Cummings, and senior tight
end Jimmay Mundine led the team
with seven catches for 82 yards
and a score. Mundine led the team
in receiving yards for the second
straight week. Freshman running
back Corey Avery has 15 carries
for 69 yards, but fumbled the ball
late in the game to put the game
out of reach.

DEFENSE SUMMARY
The Kansas defense forced two
turnovers one Heeney intercep-
tion and one fumble recovery by
senior linebacker Victor Simmons.
Senior linebacker Michael Reyn-
olds forced the fumble by sacking
Texas Webb. Reynolds had three
tackles for loss, which was a
game high. The problem with
the defense was the secondary
and the inability to pressure the
quarterback. Besides the fumble,
Kansas didnt get to Webb the
whole game.


PLAY OF THE GAME
After a Heeney interception,
Kansas took over at the Texas Tech
39-yard line. Seven plays later,
Cummings found senior wide re-
ceiver Justin McCay for a 16-yard
touchdown pass. The play came
with 30 seconds left in the half
and gave Kansas its rst score of
the game.


GAME SUMMARY
First quarter Texas Tech
scored twice off a Webb 13-yard
touchdown pass and a 34-yard
eld goal by Ryan Bustin. The
Jayhawks were held scoreless, but
linebacker Ben Heeney recorded
10 tackles.

(TEXAS TECH 10, KANSAS 0)
Second quarter Tech scored
on an 8-yard touchdown pass from
Webb to wide receiver Brad Mar-
quez, and Kansas was able to put
points on the board. Cummings
passed to McCay for a 16-yard
score.

(TEXAS TECH 17, KANSAS 7)
Third quarter Kansas and
Tech both scored twice. The Red
Raiders kicked a eld goal, and
Webb threw his third touchdown
pass to wide receiver Ian Sadler.
The Jayhawks scored on a 21-yard
pass from Cummings to Mundine,
and a 1-yard rushing touchdown
by Cummings. At the end of the
quarter, Kansas was down one
score.
(TEXAS TECH 27, KANSAS 21)
Fourth quarterback Kansas
was shut out in the fourth quarter,
and Avery lost a fumble with under
two minutes left which ended the
game for Kansas. The Red Raider
put the game out of hand with a
21-yard touchdown run by running
back Justin Stockton.

(TEXAS TECH 34, KANSAS 21)

MOVING FORWARD
Kansas follows this loss with a
bye week. The Jayhawks will have
two weeks to prepare for 2013
Big 12 champions Baylor on Nov.
1. Kansas hasnt defeated Baylor
since 2003, and the Jayhawks
have never won in Waco, Texas,
since Baylor joined the Big 12 in
1996.

Bowen stresses fundamentals for teams bye week
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
Te Jayhawks head into a bye
week this weekend afer a 34-
21 loss to TCU on Saturday
the teams fourth straight
conference loss and 30th
straight road loss.
In his weekly teleconference,
interim head coach Clint
Bowen said the bye would give
his team time to rest as well
as work on the fundamental
parts of the game, parts the
Jayhawks have missed in the
teams last two losses. Games
Kansas came close to winning.
It gives us time to rest, but
then it also gives us time to
focus on a lot of areas that we
need to improve, Bowen said.
We talked about the little
things that were allowing to
get away, which are the funda-
mentals in a lot of ways. Well
be able to anchor down and
practice some fundamental
football.
COMPETITIVE CUMMINGS
Bowen explained his deci-
sion to put junior quarterback
Michael Cummings in the
starting quarterback position
since taking over as head
coach following the fring of
Charlie Weis.
Te thing he brings most
to us is that hes a tough, com-
petitive guy, Bowen said. He
has a natural leadership about
him to where he can demand
things in the huddle. He has
some presence about him that
people around him can gener-
ate some confdence from.
Cummings has started in
all three games for Bowen,
unseating sophomore Montell
Cozart for the starting posi-
tion.
He makes decisions; hes not
afraid to pull the trigger. Tats
giving us a little bit of spark
on the ofense, Bowen said.
Kansas narrowly lost 27-
20 at home to then No. 15
Oklahoma State two weeks
ago. Kansas senior wide re-
ceiver Nick Harwell recorded
the most receiving yards in
the game as a whole, and
Cummings led both teams in
passing yards.
PIERSON STATUS UNKNOWN
Bowen gave an update on
the status of receiver Tony
Pierson, who sustained a neck
injury in Kansas last game
against Texas Tech, saying that
the injury doesnt look to be
something really bad, but that
the team hasnt got the fnal
word about it. Pierson went
to the doctor Monday to be
evaluated.
BIG 12 LIGHTING UP THE
SCOREBOARD
Bowen also talked about par-
ity in the Big 12, highlighting
the powerful ofenses in the
conference.
Each week things get shak-
en up a little bit. Every week
its a battle. I think the parity
comes from what the ofenses
in this league can do, Bowen
said. Te ofensive frepower
in this league is keeping ev-
erything balanced. Tere are
several teams out there that
are playing at a high level.
Kansas will play No. 12
Baylor in its next game afer
the bye week. Baylor is second
in the nation in total ofense
with 4,053 yards and frst in
the nation in yards per game
with 579.

It gives us time to rest, but


then it also gives us time to
focus on a lot of areas that
we need to improve.
CLINT BOWEN
Interim head coach
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Interim head coach Clint Bowen runs out with the team before Kansas game against Oklahoma State. Bowen held his weekly teleconference to discuss
Kansas upcoming bye week.
Tree or four weeks ago, if
the Big 12 only had one team
ranked in the AP Top 10, one
would have thought it would
be Oklahoma or Baylor. But a
lot has changed since then and
at the start of Week 9 in the
NCAA football season; TCU is
the only team ranked in the Top
10 from this conference.
Afer another wild weekend,
the lines between the top and
middle of the league are still
blurry. Baylor fell from the
ranks of the undefeated. Okla-
homa sufered its second loss,
this time at the hands of Kansas
State, which allows the Wild-
cats to sit by themselves at the
top of the conference standings
at 3-0 in the league. TCU fol-
lowed up a near upset of Bay-
lor with a resounding victory
againstOklahoma State on Sat-
urday. Overall, there are fve Big
12 teams ranked in the Top 25.
Tese last few weeks have
shown that the league is pret-
ty much up for grabs, and the
conference race will surely be a
fun one. However, the chances
of a Big 12 team earning a spot
in the four-team playof are
looking slimmer.
1. NO. 10 TCU 5-1 (2-1 BIG 12)
Last time out: Won vs. Oklahoma
State 42-9
TCU nished its stretch of three
brutal matchups against Oklaho-
ma, Baylor and Oklahoma State in
consecutive weeks, and came out
looking like a contender. After nearly
taking down offensive powerhouse
Baylor before falling short late on
Oct. 11, TCU unleashed an offensive
onslaught on Oklahoma State.
The Horned Frogs were rolling early
and, by the end of the rst quarter,
were leading 21-3. Quarterback
Trevone Boykin had a career-high
410 passing yards. His three pass-
ing touchdowns were complement-
ed by TCUs running back duo of B.J.
Catalon and Trevorris Johnson, who
combined for 153 yards and two
touchdowns.

Last time out: Won at Oklahoma
31-30
By now, it should be no surprise
when a Bill Snyder-led team nds
ways to win. The Wildcats were not
overlooked at the start of the sea-
son, but they denitely werent ex-
pected to vie for the conference title.
Yet here they are atop the leader-
board, fresh off a victory against the
perennial powerhouse Oklahoma.
The difference in the game, which
K-State led or tied for much of,
was mistakes. Actually for K-State,
it was the lack of mistakes. Quar-
terback Jake Waters was an ef-
cient 15 of 23 for 225 yards and
a touchdown. The running back
corps combined for 160 yards and a
touchdown. Maybe most important-
ly, K-State didnt turn the ball over
and capitalized when Oklahoma did.

Last time out: lost at West
Virginia 27-41
Every mistake thus far by the
Baylor Bears has been covered up
by their offense. When that unit
struggled Saturday, the result was
Baylors rst loss.
The Bears committed 18 penal-
ties for 215 yards, a Big 12 record.
Quarterback Bryce Petty was sacked
four times and had no touchdowns
after halftime. Petty nished with
16 completions out of 36 attempts
for 233 yards and two touchdowns.
The offense gained 318 yards, which
is well below the 623 yards it came
in averaging.

4. NO. 17 OKLAHOMA 5-2 (2-2)
Last time out: lost vs. K-State
30-31
The Sooners have no one to blame
for the loss but themselves. Kicker
Michael Hunnicutt missed a 19-yard
eld goal with less than four min-
utes left in the fourth quarter, which
would have put the Sooners ahead.
Hunnicutt also missed a 32-yard
eld-goal attempt right before half-
time. His point-after attempt was
also blocked in the fourth quarter,
which led to the nal margin. Even
though the kicking game struggled,
the Sooners also made plenty of oth-
er mistakes. They had two turnovers,
including a pick-6, and the defense
could not stop the Wildcats from
scoring at crucial moments.

5. NO. 22 WEST VIRGINIA 5-2
(3-1)
Last time out: won vs. Baylor
41-27
Everyone now knows about the Big
12s dark horse West Virginia. For
the second week in a row, the Moun-
taineers pushed out a strong effort
in the fourth quarter for the victory.
This week, West Virginia was tied
with previously undefeated Baylor
heading into the last period. From
there, the Mountaineers scored two
touchdowns and stopped the Bears
on a fourth-and-one late.
Quarterback Clint Trickett is third
in the FBS in passing yards with
2,525, and wide receiver Kevin
White leads the nation with 1020
receiving yards. He is the only player
with more than 1,000.

The Cowboys were just outplayed
by the Horned Frogs. Quarterback
Daxx Garman did not complete a
single pass after halftime. He com-
pleted 10 of 25 passes in the game
for no touchdowns and two intercep-
tions.
If they want to stay in the mix
after showing early-season poten-
tial, they have to do it against the
leagues best. They have yet to face
a team that is currently ranked in
the Big 12.

7. TEXAS 3-4 (2-2)
Last time out: won vs. Iowa State
48-45
The shootout of the weekend hap-
pened in Austin, Texas. Iowa State
scored the tying touchdown with 28
seconds left in the fourth quarter,
but that was enough time for Texas
quarterback Tyrone Swoopes. He had
two long completions to receivers
Jaxon Shipley and John Harris to set
up Nick Roses game-winning 21-
yard eld goal.
For a team that isnt used to being
toward the bottom of the conference
standings, the victory keeps Texas
alive in a sense. A loss would have
been crushing.

Texas Tech earned its rst Big 12
victory on Saturday. The offense
overmatched the Kansas defense.
Quarterback Davis Webb threw for
288 yards, three touchdowns and
one interception. Coming into the
game as the most penalized team in
the country, the Red Raiders cleaned
up their act and only committed four
penalties.

9. IOWA STATE 2-5 (0-4)
Last time out: lost at Texas 48-45
If an award existed for the team
with the most moral victories or
games it played well enough to win
but didnt, Iowa State would run
away with the trophy.
In the latest edition of their
heartbreaking losses, the Cyclones
mounted what looked like a tying
drive to send the game into overtime
against Texas, only to see the Long-
horns come back with a drive that
took 25 seconds to win.
One of these days, the Cyclones
will win a conference game, and no
one should be surprised.

The Jayhawks played hard again
for interim coach Clint Bowen, but
still lost. The road losing streak is
almost too long to mention.
Quarterback Michael Cummings

asketball players have always
been seen as heroes, constant-
ly proving their herculean
athletic abilities and giving children
a frst-hand look at what it would be
like to have superpowers. Te game
of basketball isnt how it was when MJ
played in the 1980s and 90s. Basket-
ball has increased in competitiveness,
and the NBAs schedule has had to
catch up to a league thats growing
bigger, faster and stronger.
Yahoo Sports reported in a 2013
article on NBA injuries that averag-
ing 35 minutes in an NBA game in
2013 is far more taxing than doing as
much 30 years ago, or even in Michael
Jordans era as the game continues
to grow, the injuries continue to pile
up.
Reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant
is out for six to eight weeks due to a
foot injury, and Indiana Pacers star
Paul George sufered a horrifying
injury during a Team USA exhibition
game and is out for the remainder of
the season.
Because of the increase in injuries,
the NBA has been toying with the idea
of shortening games. On Sunday, the
Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets
played in a 44-minute game (four
quarters of 11 minutes), four minutes
less than a regulation game. Te NBAs
biggest star, LeBron James, speaks for
many athletes in the NBA and said
he doesnt believe shortened games
will reduce fatigue or the number of
injuries. James said he believes the
only thing that will help is cutting
games from the regular 82-game sea-
son schedule. James is in favor of the
shortened 66-game schedule.
Te minutes dont mean anything,
James told reporters Wednesday. We
can play 50-minute games if we had
to. Its the games that I think we all as
players think is too many games in
our season. 82 games are a lot.
Michael Jordan, owner of the Char-
lotte Hornets, was puzzled as to why
James and other NBA players want to
reduce the schedule.
If I wasnt playing 82 games, I still
wouldve been playing somewhere else
because thats the love for the game I
had, Jordan told ESPN. As a player, I
never thought 82 games was an issue.
Te lockout of 2011, which reduced
the regular season to 66 games, gave
the players a taste of what the reduced
season would be like. Reducing the
regular 82-game schedule to 66 games
would result in a loss of $30 million
in team revenue, according to Forbes.
Te NBA also just signed a new TV
deal with ESPN and Turner for $24
billion over the next nine years. Tat
deal was made for a slate of 82 regular
season games, not 66. If the reduced
schedule were to be put in place,
would the deal need to be renegoti-
ated?
James realizes reducing the number
of games will result in less revenue,
but he is more focused on the well-be-
ing of the players.
At the end of the day, we want to
protect the prize and the prize is the
players, James told reporters. We
have to continue to promote the game
and if guys are being injured because
there are so many games, then we
cant promote it at a high level. We got
two of our top guys in our league out
right now. Im not saying its because
of the games, but anything will help.

Remember when your
American Government
teacher told you that history
has a tendency of repeating
itself? For redshirt junior
Michael Cummings, this is
especially true.
In 2012, seeing his frst sig-
nifcant action of the season
replacing Dayne Crist mid-
way through the game, the
redshirt freshman led Kan-
sas back from down 20-0
and nearly upset Oklahoma
State at home. Leading two
touchdown drives in the last
11 minutes, Cummings and
the Jayhawks simply ran out
of time, falling 20-14 despite
Cummings going 5-of-10 for
75 yards and one touchdown.
Tats a good game against
a good team and he wasnt
finching, former head
coach Charlie Weis said of
his quarterback afer the
game. He had great compo-
sure, he was having fun and
he put us in a position to win
the game.
Two years later, trailing
then No. 16 Oklahoma State
20-7 at halfime on October
11, Cummings led anoth-
er Jayhawk comeback with
three passes of 30 yards
or more, but Tyreek Hills
99-yard kick-return sealed
the seven-point win for the
Cowboys.
He brought what we want-
ed out of that position, in-
terim head coach Clint Bow-
en said. Some leadership,
some toughness, a guy that
people could rally around.
Rewind back to 2012 his
freshman year again. Te
Killeen, Texas, native took
Kansas into double overtime
at No. 25 Texas Tech, but
came up just seven points
short, 41-34. Cummings
threw for two touchdown
passes and rushed for 41
yards, including a key 44-
yard scamper on fourth-and-
three from the Jayhawks 36
yard-line in the late stages of
the game.
Tis past Saturday, Cum-
mings raided Lubbock, Tex-
as, with his best ofensive
output of the season, com-
pleting 20-of-32 passes for
235 yards, two touchdowns
and one interception in the
34-21 loss. He added a one-
yard plunge for a score with
three seconds lef in the third
quarter to trim the Texas
Tech lead to six, 27-21.
Dropped passes, both ofen-
sively and defensively, haunt-
ed the Jayhawks on the afer-
noon, and kept the upset bid
out of reach. But even with
No. 12 Baylor, Iowa State,
No. 10 TCU, No. 17 Oklaho-
ma and No. 11 Kansas State
coming up a daunting
slew of games the ofense
has to feel better with Cum-
mings afer Montell Cozart
averaged nine points per
game against Duke, Central
Michigan and Texas. Over
the past two games, with
Cummings taking the snaps,
the Jayhawks have averaged
20.5 points per game.
Game by game, Cummings
is improving. His comple-
tion percentage has endured
a steady rise from 47.1 per-
cent against West Virginia
(in limited action) to 54.1
against Oklahoma State to
62.5 against Texas Tech. In
that three-game stretch, his
quarterback rating rose from
9 to 34.6 to 60.8. Montell
Cozart seemed to be trend-
ing in the opposite direction,
completing 46 percent of his
passes for 170 yards over the
frst three games, and just 39
percent for 91 yards over his
next two.
Im always happy about
Mike, Bowen said. Te guy
competes. He plays hard. He
has a presence about him-
self that other guys can rally
around.
A Turner Gill recruit in the
2011 class, Cummings was
kept on the sideline yet again
in 2014 because Charlie Weis
claimed that Cozart looked
far and away the best quar-
terback in practice.
So far, Michael Cummings
has looked far and away the
better quarterback in games.
Hes thrown for 56 percent
to Cozarts 49.6, and aver-
ages 6.75 yards per pass to
Cozarts 5.54. Cummings
ability to throw the ball
down the feld with accuracy
opens things up for the Kan-
sas ofense.
Out of high school, Cum-
mings was not ofered a
scholarship by a single Texas
school despite throwing for
2,463 yards, 24 touchdowns
and just seven interceptions
his junior season. In his
four major minutes against
schools hailing from Texas
Texas Tech (twice), Bay-
lor, and Texas Cummings
has lost by an average of just
12.75 points.
Tats a tough situation
there, Texas Tech coach
Klif Kingsbury said afer
the game on Saturday. Teir
players played really hard,
like weve seen all year and
stayed in the football game.
Bowen called his junior
quarterback a junkyard dog.
He will get up when hes
knocked down and will be
ready to fght.
I had a stinger in my back,
Cummings said afer getting
tackled hard on a play. I
wasnt going to stay out for
long. So as soon as I was able
to get up and walk of the
feld, I wanted to get right
back out there.
If history has any say, Cum-
mings will continue to keep
Kansas in games. Te next
step is fnding a way to fnish
them.

COMMENTARY
Timing of Late
Night could hurt
recruiting
T
he Kentucky basket-
ball program held its
annual Big Blue Mad-
ness on Saturday. From what
the reports show, the Kentucky
event blew the Kansas Late
Night in the Phog out of the
water.
At frst glance, Kentucky
had the star-power on its side.
Kentucky coach John Calipari
invited hip-hop star Drake to
the event. He hosted the event
similar to actor Rob Riggle
hosted the 2013 Late Night.
Drake sat in the flm session
with the Kentucky players
and the 2015 recruits. Drake
dressed up in full Kentucky
warm-up gear, and shot
during the pregame with the
team his frst shot was an
air ball.
Sad thing is, Drake matters
because the recruits experi-
ence is really the only aspect
that means anything that
night. If the recruits enjoyed
the preseason, over-the-top,
prep rally, then theres a greater
chance they will attend that
university.
Twelve of the 16 recruits
who visited Kansas for Late
Night also attended Big Blue
Madness.
Te No. 2 recruit in the
2015 recruiting class, Stephen
Zimmerman, was one of those
12 recruits who attended both
Kentucky and Kansas presea-
son event. One diference that
Zimmerman and his mother
said the Big Blue Madness had
more local attention then Late
Night.
Zimmermans mother, Lori
Stevens, said a lot of Kansas
fans came up to her son asking
for pictures and autographs
during Late Night, but in
Kentucky, hundreds of Ken-
tucky fans gathered in hotel
lobby where Zimmerman was
staying, waiting for his picture
or autograph.
Te timing of the events
was the diference between
the turnout in Kentucky and
Kansas. Te weekend of Late
Night, Kansas fans had other
things on their mind such as
the Kansas City Royals and
fall break. Most of Kansas
students went home for the
extended weekend, and a lot
of students in Lawrence stayed
home to watch the Royals play
in Game 2 of the American
League Championship Series
against Baltimore.
In 2013, Allen Fieldhouse
had to turn fans away because
of insufcient space. Tis
year, Kansas couldnt fll the
feldhouse, potentially hurting
its recruiting eforts.
Kansas benefted from the
sold-out crowd last season as
freshman guard and highly
recruited talent Kelly Oubre
committed to Kansas follow-
ing his visit during Late Night
last year.
If recruiting doesnt turn out
like Kansas Athletics wanted it,
the program should make sure
that Late Night in the Phog
becomes a headlining event in
Lawrence next year.
It could be the diference
between a top-5 recruit going
to Kansas or Kentucky.

S
WEEK OFF
PAGE 11 Interim head coach Clint Bowen discusses upcoming bye week
Afer dominating the
American League in the
postseason, the Royals are
four victories away from
winning the World Series. At
least two of those victories
would be played in Kaufman
Stadium.
Te Royals have not had a
team this successful since the
1985 season, which might
explain why many are willing
to pay the increased ticket
prices to make it to the game
at Kaufman. As of Monday
afernoon, the cheapest tick-
et on StubHub.com is more
than $500, and thats stand-
ing room only.
Im going to the frst game
with my dad, said Will
Shadwick, a sophomore from
Salina. My dad bought them
from a friend he knew for
about $1,000.
But while many students
and their families chose to
make the trip to Kaufman
Stadium to take in a post-
season game earlier in the
playofs, the World Series has
been a little diferent. Aside
from winning the Royals
lottery for tickets, seats can
be expensive for the average
student. Te cheapest tick-
ets are more than twice as
much as any other game in
the postseason, which cost
around $150 or $200, ac-
cording to StubHub.com.
Taking into account the
high ticket prices, coupled
with an increased parking
fee, a World Series game
would put a dent in students
wallets. Te price has cer-
tainly kept some students
away, but it hasnt kept stu-
dents from bonding over
Royals baseball.
I would love to go to the
games, but I cant aford $500
tickets, said Garrett Farlow,
a sophomore from Tecum-
seh. Instead Ill watch with a
big group of friends, just like
the other postseason games.
Many Royals fans on cam-
pus are in a similar situation
as Farlow, opting to surround
themselves with friends and
family rather than making
the journey out to Kaufman,
but it doesnt mean they are
any less excited about the
World Series.
Im still pumped for the
games, Farlow said. Wheth-
er or not Im at the World
Series, Im a Royals fan, and
Im excited to see how they
do against the Giants.
While most students at the
University of Kansas have
yet to witness a World Series
game in Kansas City, there
are certainly plenty of peo-
ple to talk to about the teams
success 29 years ago.
My dad went to the 1985
World Series, and he would
always tell me stories about
that, Shadwick said. Tis
is the only team I have ever
seen [go this far].
For the Royals, James
Shields will be on the mound
for Kansas City, looking to
improve his postseason per-
formance, where hes allowed
10 runs in 16 innings.
Madison Bumgarner, who
has been at the top of his
game in recent weeks, will
get the start for the Giants in
the opener. With an ERA of
1.42 since the playofs began,
Bumgarner is also tied for
the lead in wins among Gi-
ants pitchers.
Te Giants have been near
perfect in the postseason,
going 8-2 while facing the
best teams in the National
League.
Whether at the K or some-
where else, it is certain many
students will be watching as
the Royals look to capture
their second World Series ti-
tle in the teams history.
Game 1 begins on Tuesday
at 7 p.m. at Kaufman Stadi-
um.
