Te City of Lawrence informed

the Occupy Lawrence group camp-

ing in South Park Wednesday afer-
noon that they would have to obey
city ordinance and leave the park
afer hours.
Toni Wheeler, director of the legal
department, visited the group with
Parks and Recreation interim direc-
tor Ernie Shaw, superintendent Mark
Hecker and chief of police Tarik
Khatib. Te city delegates informed
the group that afer 11:30 p.m.
Tursday night they would consider
Occupy Lawrence in violation of city
park hours.
According to a city ordnance all
city parks except Burcham Park are
closed between 11:30 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Burcham is closed afer 10:30 p.m.
It was a cordial meeting, very co-
operative, Wheeler said. I am hope-
ful they comply.
Afer a three-hour debate, the Oc-
cupy Lawrence group decided that
members could make individual de-
cisions about staying in the park past
11:30 p.m., but as a group they stand
in solidarity with those who stay.
Its about respecting that some
cant deal with legal action, Lydia
Gibson, who facilitated the groups
assembly Wednesday night, said. She
said she hadnt personally made a de-
cision about whether she would stay
or not.
Wheeler said the city expects
the group to have a decision about
whether theyll stay by 8:30 a.m.
Tursday morning.
Te movement also voted to
approach the city at the 8:30 a.m.
with a question about how they could
continue 24-hour occupation.
Wheeler said that earlier in the
week the group had a 24-hour permit
which expired, but they have been
working with the Occupy group.
Our plan is to remain in commu-
nication with them, she said.
Jennifer Dillon, a group member
acting as legal liaison with the city,
spoke to a member of the police
department via phone during the
debate. She said the member had as-
sured her that no arrests would be
made Tursday night, but it was still
a possibility that police would write

Editors Note: Caitlin Doornbos
is the KJHK news director. She was
given extended access to the actor
Andy Dick when he was in Lawrence
earlier this week. This is her frst-
person perspective of her time with
him.
Andy Dick brought his mix
of the profane and heartfelt onto
campus Monday in a brief stop
along his road to a comeback.
Traveling to colleges all over
the U.S. on a screening tour, the
notorious actor may have seemed
an odd ft at a university, given his
troubled past. Nevertheless, SUA
brought Dick in Monday night for
a screening of his new flm, Divi-
sion III, which was followed by a
Q&A.
A Twitter request for an in-
terview received a near instan-
taneous reply. I told him to look
for a blonde college girl hunting
him down afer the screening of
the movie.
@kjhknews No, you look for
me, Andy, he wrote. Te skinny,
blond, faggoty idiot who was in
the movie you just saw.
Tat was the Andy Dick I was
expecting. My mother warned me
before meeting with him. Care-
ful, he has a crime record, she
said.
And indeed he does. In addi-
tion to roles on the NBC show
NewsRadio and ABCs Less
Tan Perfect and appearances
on Comedy Central Roasts, he
has also played the role of jail
inmate. Police have arrested the
actor multiple times for drug use,
possession and public intoxica-
tion. Dick has also been arrested
for sexual battery.
What I found, however, was an
individual immersed in his own
insecurity. He admitted that he
believes the same openness that
he has always held with his fans
led to the public intoxication and
media scrutiny. But this openness
was the same element that al-

comedy for disabilities
Disabilities are no laughing mat-
ter. Unless they are being discussed
by comedian Josh Blue, who focuses
his stand-up routine on his cerebral
palsy. Blue won NBCs Last Comic
Standing in 2006 and performed in
Woodruf Auditorium last night as
part of Disability Awareness Month.
Blue started of the night reminisc-
ing about being born in Africa and
traveling as a child.
I got to see other parts of the
world and see how other people are
living, he said. And I realized that
just because I have this physical dis-
ability doesnt mean I dont have a ton
of spectacular things going on in my
life. Like food and shoes.
He then turned his attention to
Lawrence and the University of Kan-
sas sports teams.
You guys have an awesome bas-
ketball team, by the way, Blue said.
But I could play for your football
team.
Some of the biggest laughs of the
night came courtesy of the sign lan-
guage interpreters who sat on the
corner of the stage and at times at-
tempted to recreate the unusual po-
sition of Blues right hand caused by
his cerebral palsy when it was part of
his jokes.
Ive got palsy, he said afer catch-
ing the interpreter mimicking him.
Im not blind.
Ryan King, a freshman from
Omaha, Neb., was a fan of Blues be-
fore the show thanks to Last Comic
Standing and said that he enjoyed
his live performance, too. King was
impressed by how the comedian em-
braced his disability and turned it
into the subject of his stand up rou-
tine.
I think its awesome, said King. A
lot of people would be embarrassed,
but he uses it to his advantage.
Troughout the night, students
laughed at Blue mocking his own dis-
ability. Getting people to see the dis-
abled in a new way is a goal of Blues
and of Disability Awareness Month.
Its not about making people feel
guilty, said Mary Ann Rasnak, di-
rector of the Academic Achievement
and Access Center, which co-spon-
sored the event with SUA. Its about
recognition.
Rasnak said she would like every-
body on campus to become more
aware of staf, faculty and students
with disabilities and recognize how
they contribute to campus and the
community.

Calls for Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Finn to
resign started even before last week, when he be-
came the highest-ranking church leader in the sex
abuse scandal criminally charged with sheltering
an accused priest.
The bishop of Kansas City, Mo., had acknowl-
edged in May that he waited fve months to tell po-
lice about the hundreds of images of alleged child
pornography found on the Rev. Shawn Ratigans
computer. Ratigan had taken some of the photos of
girls months ago at an Easter party he hosted, in-
vestigators said. More than 700 people have joined
a Facebook page called Bishop Finn Must Go.
However, no such demands have come from with-
in the church hierarchy. Finn, who has pleaded not
guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failure to report
suspected child abuse, is expected to stay on.

St. Pauls Cathedral says it may be time for the
Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters gathered
outside the iconic church to leave.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the
London landmark over the weekend as part of the
global Occupy Wall Street protests.
Many have since hunkered down outside the ca-
thedral, pitching tents and setting up a makeshift
kitchen, toilets and an information center.
Until now, church staff have allowed the pro-
testers to remain. But in a statement released late
Wednesday, St. Pauls said that the increased scale
and nature of the camp could make it more diffcult
for the cathedral to stay open for worshippers and
tourists.
The statement asked: Is it now time for the pro-
test camp to leave?

Sheriffs deputies shot nearly 50 lions, tigers and
other beasts in a big-game hunt across the Ohio
countryside Wednesday after the owner of a wild-
animal park threw their cages open and committed
suicide in what may have been one last act of ven-
geance against neighbors and police.
As homeowners nervously took cover indoors, of-
fcers spread out through felds and woods to hunt
down about 56 animals, including bears, wolves
and monkeys.
After an all-night hunt that extended into the
afternoon, 48 animals had been gunned down and
six captured alive and taken to the Columbus Zoo,
authorities said. As of midafternoon, the only ani-
mals still on the loose were a wolf and a monkey,
according to the sheriffs offce.
Former Kansas student
missing since oct. 9
Olathe Police are searching for
23-year-old Ryan A. Bradley, a former
University student.
His mother said that Bradley was
last seen on Oct. 9 when he told his
uncle on Oct. 9 that he was going for
a walk from his Olathe home to Olathe
North High School. None of his fam-
ily members have
seen him since,
his mother said.
He is 5 feet 6
inches tall, 150
pounds with a
bowed left arm,
and walks with a
slight limp. Ac-
cording a state-
ment listed by the Olathe Police Depart-
ment, he typically wears a T-shirt, jeans
and tennis shoes.
His mother, Adrienne Bradley, thinks
he may be in the Lawrence area be-
cause he is familiar with the campus
and has friends in the area. She added
that he once frequented the Ecumeni-
cal Christian Ministries building.
We are just trying to see if a friend
of a friend has seen him or has talked
to him or anything that will let us know
where he has gone, Adrienne said.
Bradley was enrolled at the Univer-
sity from Fall 2006 to Spring 2008 as a
political science and psychology major.
Anyone with information on Bradleys
location please call the Olathe Police
Department at 913-971-7790.

NYc occupy wall Street
protest interests tourists
Some women from Kansas were
taking in as much of New York City as
they could Wednesday. They hopped on
a subway, watched the construction at
the World Trade Center site and visited
lower Manhattans newest tourist des-
tination: the park where Occupy Wall
Street protesters have camped out for
more than a month.
Its now common to see tourists
at Zuccotti Park taking photographs
of themselves, with protesters in the
background. On a typical day they
clog the pedestrian traffc in the area,
which is often bustling with fnancial
district employees.
Jackie Qualizza of Bucyrus, Kansas,
challenged protester Art Udeykin, ask-
ing him to explain the purpose of the
demonstration, which has inspired
similar activism in many cities across
the nation and around the world.
Right now, we dont have a goal
except to back away from the system
thats not working, Udeykin said. This
is a way to feel free, to feel normal.
Qualizza said she couldnt see her-
self demonstrating, but added, I dont
disagree with them. The government
bailed out everyone, and things are
still not working. Something has to
change.
The protest against corporate in-
fuence in government and wealth
inequality has many of the things tour-
ists look for, including photo-worthy
moments and even some trinkets.
The double-decker buses offering
tours of Manhattan pass by on Broad-
way, with guides pointing out the park
site and tourists in sunny weather
often waving sympathetically at
protesters from the top decks.

lowed me to get to know him dur-
ing a 24-hour period.
A thin veil
At the Q&A afer the movie
screening, Dick and Marshall
Cook, the co-star, writer and di-
rector, explained the efect stu-
dents can make by fulflling their
dreams right now.
Whatever it is you want to do,
just get up and do it, Dick said.
Im here to light a fre under your
ass.
Coach Vice, the football coach
in Division III and Dicks charac-
ter, is described as hardcore, phys-
ically and verbally abusing his
players. But theres also a deeper
sensitivity to the coach as well. He
is an absurd, larger-than-life char-
acter with a troubling past that in-
cludes the attempted murder of a
little league team. In the midst of
a plot not unlike Remember the
Titans or Friday Night Lights,
Vice is wild and abrasive, yet he is
grounded as a shaken, distressed
man who cannot get it together
and wants to do something good.
I pointed out the similarities to
Dick between him and his charac-
ter in Division III.
I guess its not that thin of a veil,
because I thought that Im doing a
character, he said. And I thought
that maybe people might notice
that its kind of autobiographical,
but probably theyre not going to
because Im a football coach and
I look diferent and Ive got that
mustache.
While Dick admitted he never
played football, unlike Cook who
played in college, he said that he
did see parallels between himself
and Vice.
I do connect with somebody
who has had a horrible time in life,
he said. Dont get me wrong. Ive
had a great time in life, sometimes
too good, but to get to a place in
my career where people are crap-
ping on my head a lot, rightfully.
I deserve a lot of it, but to try to
crawl out of that ditch that I dug
for myself is hard for anybody. Im
having a hard time, you know?
Flipping it Around
Andy is crawling out of that
ditch with the help of the docu-
mentary he is flming, tentatively
titled Andy Dick: Flip a Bitch
in which he is depicting his trials
during his sober screening tour on
college campuses.
Im really trying to fip it
around, Dick said. I dont want
you to look at my past and say, Its
just going to be more of the same:
Hes going on college campuses;
hes bound to get drunk and end
up in jail. Nope. Im turning over a
new leaf. Im fipping a bitch.
Tis fip is also
the reason for his
university tour to
reach out to stu-
dents. Dick said
he wants to inspire
and put dreams
into motion.
Ive been there,
done that, Dick
said. Ive already
made millions of dollars over and
over on a number of series, and
I get more turned on now just
seeing somebody else say, Wow,
I can do it, and Im the one that
motivated them, as opposed to
the old Andy Dick who would get
more get turned on in a sexual
way, drinking and going out and
causing a ruckus, and then going
to jail.
Dick invited me to dinner fol-
lowing a more formal interview. At
Free State Brewery, he greeted ine-
briated fans
and listened
as a woman
admitted to
him she also
sufered from
al cohol i sm.
When his
crew ordered
beer, Dick got
a water.
Dick is four months sober, an
accomplishment he proudly pro-
claims afer years in the spotlight,
including stints on Dr. Drews
Celebrity Rehab.
Dick lef Lawrence Tuesday
morning bound for Boulder, Colo.,
for another stop on his tour.

One of the major factors in the
citys decision was public safety.
Our parks are not designed for
overnight camping, Wheeler said.
Tey are for daily use.
One issue the fre chief had was a
small fre the group had built to stay
warm, Occupy member Jason Phoe-
nix said. Te group decided to put it
out in order to avoid a larger issue.
Te group had difculty reaching a
decision because of various opinions
about how the movement should go
forward. Many felt the need to move
forward as a single group. Other
suggestions included only protest-
ing during park hours or moving to
other locations.
If we back down, were saying we
agree with their authority, Lawrence

Davidson said. I, for one, do not
agree with their authority.

olsen sister steps out of

elizabeth olsen recently experienced
something that had never happened to
her: she was recognized by a stranger.
it was really weird. i was walking in
tribeca and a guy just came up to me
and said, i just saw the trailer for your
movie, and im really looking forward to
it, and then he kept on walking, the
young actress recalled.
that she would fnd this exchange
exciting might seem, well, really weird
in its own right. olsen is the younger
sister of those olsens, the tabloid fx-
tures Mary-kate and ashley. shes spent
a lifetime watching her sisters hounded
by tMZ, pursued by autograph-seekers,
roasted by late-night hosts.
walking around Greenwich village,
the outgoing 22-year-old might as well
be just another nYu acting student,
albeit one who happens to have spent
parts of the past year shooting flms.
she has some of the same facial fea-
tures as her famous sisters, but like so
much in her life to this point, nothing
about her suggests that shes related to
the entertainment worlds most famous
twins.
You mean, theres another one?
actress sarah paulson said, laughing,
as she recalled her reaction upon hear-
ing about the third olsen sister for the

I can vaguely remember the frst
computer my parents invested in:
some hunk of junk from Hewlett-
Packard, complete with a snail-like
dial-up connection and a speaker
system always on the fritz. Today, I
own an iPad, which serves the same
purpose, but in a much quicker and
easier way.
Te recent death of Steve Jobs
has been a sort of enlightenment
for me. Reading about his fascinat-
ing life story and innovative way of
thinking, its easy to wonder why
more people dont strive to think
like him. He made it look so easy,
day in and day out. He was direct,
unforgiving, and thought not of
where society was, but where soci-
ety was headed.
Some have insinuated, though,
that society is somehow better
with his innovations. Better is argu-
able. Jobs was a man who recycled
the age-old rhetoric of wanting to
change the world, and he had the
audacity to back those up words
with action.
But better isnt the right word
to use to describe how he afected
the world. You could argue that
Jobs bettered the world in a similar
sense that you can argue that the
invention of automobiles bettered
the world: What has simplifed
and streamlined one persons life
may have complicated or brought
on economic or social hardship to
another.
Te iPad Im typing this column
on is evidence that the way we live
our lives isnt what has changed;
weve just adjusted our approach
to accomplishing the tasks weve
always set out to do. Writing this
column could have taken place on
paper, a computer, this tablet or
even a typewriter.
Te fact that I downloaded
the latest issue of Time Magazine
and read it on my iPad before the
magazine itself even got to my
mailbox is a strong example as well.
Te ease and quickness by which we
can access information and services
today is a bit daunting.
As our world evolves and we
increase our access to information
and also each other, the way we in-
teract with one another will change
and so will the very nature of our
relationships with friends, family
and potential partners. Letter writ-
ing has been replaced by Skyping.
Music and book stores are being
replaced by online stores. Dont fool
yourself into thinking that your life
has somehow improved, though.
Te idea of improvement is a soci-
etal construction that difers from
person to person and society to
society.
Its human nature to desire
something better, and thats un-
derstandable. Jobs saw a potential
in technology that others could
only dream wildly of, which would
make our world a better place. But
again, our idea of better can eas-
ily confict with anothers idea of
what is better. Instead of focusing
on improvement, we would all be
better served in looking at the big-
ger picture. Only then can, we truly
appreciate the portrait of our world
thats constantly being painted and
revised every moment of every day.

Tis past Sunday, the Kansas
Chapter of Habitat for Humanity
held its annual Crunchy Chicken
Challenge 5K run. Contestants
ran up and around Jayhawk Bou-
levard, stopping once on Wescoe
Beach to eat a delectable crunchy
chicken cheddar wrap before run-
ning the remaining one and a
half miles to the fnish. Runners
ranged from freshman students
to middle-aged men and women,
and from individual runners to
greek houses. Prizes were given
out to not only the top three win-
ners of each division, but also to
the individual dressed in the most
outrageous costume.
None of these details struck a
chord with me at the end of the
day.
Being there in the crowd of
about 170 people, it was easy to
distinguish the fraternities from
the rest of the group. Tey were
the large groups of boys with the
stereotypical backwards caps,
Ray Ban sunglasses and the tacky,
brightly colored sunglass straps.
One look at the groups and it be-
comes immediately hard for peo-
ple not to roll their eyes in disgust.
Stereotypes food the brain with
questions of their true intent for
being at the race, what might they
pull during it, and fnally whos
getting hazed and who actually
wants to be there. Finally, afer
much deliberation, most come to
the conclusion that the race, along
with the world, would be better
of if they just didnt show up, or
existed for that matter.
Tink again.
As runners crossed the fnish
line, it became apparent that at
least a third of the runners were
from greek houses; all of them
supporting a cause that was worth
the time of the roughly 170 par-
ticipants. Not only that, but they
also swept the competition for
most outrageous costume.
But what really caught my at-
tention was at the very end of the
race when a fraternity brother
rounding the corner to come
down Daisy Hill was met by the
rest of his brothers, who had al-
ready fnished, and they com-
pleted the race together. Tey
didnt go unheard either. Cheers
and shouts of motivation led the
member down the hill and across
the fnish line, where his brothers
congratulated him with pats on
the back and high fves. Nobody
else in the race was congratulated
or motivated like this young man
was.
Just like any individual or other
organization, fraternities and
sororities have their faults, but
they also have their own positive
qualities. Yes, the greek system
is known being predominately a
social organization, but who is to
say that carries a negative conno-
tation? Te greek system, if used
efectively, is a great way for indi-
viduals to learn social behaviors
that enable them to interact in a
group setting, a life lesson that is
essential for successful ventures
into any sort of professional feld.
Life is a team sport, and a fra-
ternity is simply a team of mem-
bers sharing a common interest.
My father, an alumnus and self-
employed attorney for the last
twenty years, hated the idea of his
son joining a fraternity. Yet, when
I was just a kid, he presented me
with this life lesson: Life is a team
sport. How do you plan on being
successful if you cant learn to get
along with others?

T
he group of 200 people who start-
ed camping out in a New York
City plaza last month sparked
a movement that now claims massive
amounts of arrests, one-month revenues
of $300,000, and a presence in Europe,
Asia and Australia.
The ideals of Occupy Wall Street, as
the movement is known, now expand
globally to express dissatisfaction in
a way that cannot be ignored. But the
grievances of protesters are moving far
beyond the groups original demand to
form a presidential committee on in-
come inequality in the United States.
On Oct. 8, Lawrences own leg of Oc-
cupy came to life when a group of 100
people gathered to protest in front of the
U.S. Bank building on Massachusetts
Street. However, instead of primarily
focusing on financial discontent, some
members of the campaign focused their
efforts on awareness more than action.
Some are demanding specific changes to
city ordinances.
Occupy Lawrence, which includes
University of Kansas students, has
homed in on some specific demands for
the city, but the demonstrations have
transformed into a broad forum where
people can come together for discussion
and exchange of ideas.
As the protests spread, the ultimate
goal has become unclear. Income
inequality is a central issue, but students
have other concerns. Within Occupy
Lawrence, students have protested the
tax code, executive bonuses and the
inequity of capitalism, among other
issues.
While a college town like Lawrence is
a perfect venue to spark new ideas and
promote change, students must gear
their efforts to policies that pertain to
their own lives and futures.
Advocate for policy changes to ex-
tend the grace period on student loans.
The normal six-month grace period for
federal financial aid is not sufficient
enough time for students to find a stable
job and steady income in this economy,
even with a college degree. Student loan
debt forgiveness should also be a goal.
College graduates can be refresh-
ing and powerful additions to the work
force and consumer spending, but re-
paying massive amounts of student
loans is detrimental to this contribu-
tion. Aiding these debt-laden students
benefits the economy as a whole, which
is the essence of the Occupy movement.
The large-scale national issues are still
important, but its more effective for stu-
dents to find policies that affect them,
voice their opinions in an international
movement, and become catalysts for
change. After all, changing the world
is what the University experience is all
about.

Its been four years at Kansas for
guard Conner Teahan, but he says it
feels like two. The former walk-on,
now a scholarship player, is enter-
ing his fifth and final season as a
Jayhawk.
He holds a finance degree and is
working on a second in account-
ing. He was offered scholarships
from many other schools in foot-
ball and basketball while playing at
Rockhurst High School in Kansas
City, Mo., but he just wanted to be
a Jayhawk.
He accepted a walk-on position
from Kansas and received an ath-
letic scholarship last season. Teahan
said last year was a blur and this
season, his last, will surely be the
same.
He has faint hopes of playing
overseas next year but admits hell
probably have to find a real job
and wants to stay near his home-
town of Kansas City. But for now,
he just wants to play basketball, and
he wants to be a contender.
Ive never been a big you help
the team win in practice type of
guy, Teahan said. Yeah, we pre-
pare people for the game and every-
thing like that, but I want to be out
there on the court scoring points
and getting stops.
Luckily for Teahan, his last oppor-
tunity for playing time comes in a
season where coach Bill Self might
have no choice but to rely on the
former walk-on. The ineligibility of
freshman guard Ben McLemore as
well as mass departures from last
years team have handcuffed some
of Self s flexibility on the perim-
eter, possibly opening a slot for
Teahan. Gone are Josh Selby, Brady
Morningstar, and Tyrel Reed.
Youre losing Tyrel, who has
probably made as many big shots
as anybody has for us period, Self
said.
On Morningstar, Self added,
People take him for granted, but
youre losing your best perimeter
defender, your best passer, your
best ball mover and your best per-
centage three-point shooter. Thats
a lot.
Somebody has to fill those shoes.
Its worth noting that in six of the
last seven seasons, Self has had five
guards average at least 10 minutes a
game. With Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah
Johnson, and Travis Releford as
near locks for the rotation, that
leaves three scholarship players to
fill those last two potential spots:
Conner Teahan and freshmen
Naadir Tharpe and Merv Lindsay.
Four years experience could give
him a leg up on the freshmen, and
Teahan likes his chances.
As of right now, definitely, he
said when asked if hell play signifi-
cant minutes this year. I think that
I will, but at the same time I dont
even think about that. I just think
about practicing as hard as I can
and hope that it all works out. Im
hoping this year it will.

Senior Ekaterina Morozova
and sophomore Dylan Windom
will experience a role-reversal
this weekend when they travel to
the ITA Regional tournament in
Tulsa, Okla.
A week ago, the duo made a
surprising run to the quarterfinals
of the ITA/Riviera All-American
Championships after being the
first Jayhawk tennis players
invited to the tournaments main
draw since 1990. This weekend,
however, Morozova and Windom
enter the tournament as the top-
ranked doubles team in the cen-
tral region.
I think its a little more pres-
sure, but I think were ready,
Morozova said. We are both
really excited to go there.
The winner of each region-
al will qualify for the National
Indoor Championships Nov. 3-6
in New York City.
Morozova and Windom won
their first two matches against
teams from Pepperdine and
Virginia in the All-American
Championships before being
ousted in the quarterfinals by the
third-ranked Florida duo Sophie
Oyen and Alli Will, 8-0.
They held their own with
Florida, coach Amy Hall-Holt
said. The games were very close,
even though the score didnt look
like it. Regional play will begin
Thursday and wrap up Sunday.
I wouldnt say we put any more
pressure on ourselves just because
we did so well at All-Americans,
Windom said. People expect us
to do well. Anybody can get beat
on any given day, and we proved
that at All-Americans.
While Morozova and Windom
spend their weekend in Tulsa,
the rest of the Jayhawks will stay
in Lawrence to compete in the
Kansas Invitational, which runs
from Friday to Sunday.
Victoria Khanevskaya won the
KU Invitationals White singles
draw in 2010 and hopes to defend
her title this year. Khanevskaya,
a junior from Moscow, Russia,
will also play doubles this week-
end with sophomore Amy
Barnthouse.
I expect a lot from myself,
Khanevskaya said. The previous
tournaments were like practice
matches and this is the last one
before the spring season, so I
expect a lot. I expect myself to be
in the final.
After this weekends tourna-
ments, the team will take a two-
month hiatus from competitive
play. The spring portion of the sea-
son begins in Honolulu, Hawaii,
with the Hawaii Invitational Jan.
12-14.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt said
most of the winter offseason
workouts are individualy orient-
ed, and players spend much of
their time working out specific
weaknesses.
Each day we keep preparing
what our goals are for this off-
season and we try to accomplish
those goals as we go on, Hall-
Holt said.We look forward to
coming back in January having
completed those goals to go to
Hawaii.

T
he NFL trade deadline
passed last Tuesday with
less noteworthy move-
ment throughout the leagues 32
teams than several of the rumors
predicted. Some teams, however,
did make trades that have the
potential of being real game-
changers. Here are a couple of
highlights from the most recent
trades:
1) Bengals trade Carson Palmer
to the Raiders for a 2012 frst-round
pick and a conditional 2013 second-
round pick
Tis trade was the biggest one
of the day. Not only did the Ben-
gals get rid of a player who is de-
clining, but they potentially get
two frst-round picks for him.
Also considering that Palmer said
he was never going to play for
Cincinnati again, he wasnt nearly
worth one frst-round pick. Even
if he does wind up being good,
the Bengals upgrade the second-
round pick to another frst-round
pick. Te only way the Raiders
can break even on this trade is if
Palmer makes them playof con-
tenders for the next three to four
years. Te Raiders took a huge risk
on a guy who was garbage last sea-
son, while the Bengals gained great
picks.
Winner: Bengals
2) Broncos trade Brandon Lloyd to
the Rams for a conditional sixth-round
pick in 2012
Most people think that the
Rams are the winners of this trade,
and they may wind up being right.
However, right now I think that
the Broncos won this trade as they
move into the Tim Tebow era.
Right now, the Broncos arent win-
ning and dont have a real chance
at the playofs. Considering that
Lloyd is entering the prime of his
career, hes most likely not going
to stay with the Broncos while
they are in a rebuilding period.
Tis draf pick actually helps Den-
ver more than it helps the Rams.
Te Rams are just as bad as, if not
worse than, the Broncos and this
year their shot at the playofs is
even worse. Te Rams are in the
middle of a rebuilding phase also,
which means that Lloyd probably
wont want to re-sign with them
next year either. I dont really un-
derstand the upside for St. Louis
if he doesnt re-sign; they will just
be out another draf pick and seem
to be only renting him for a sea-
son that is already lost. Tis trade
would have made way more sense
if the Titans or Texans had made
the move for Lloyd.
Winner: Broncos

Big hope
for new
season
L
ate Night in the Phog has
come and gone and that
means only one thing: Col-
lege basketball is upon us. We have
143 days until Selection Sunday,
but dont worry. Kansas fans have
plenty to look forward to this
year. Matchups are possible with
UCLA and Duke in the Maui In-
vitational, a showdown with Ken-
tucky in Madison Square Garden,
and maybe the best of all: Tomas
Robinson and Ohio States Jarred
Sullinger two frst team All-
Americans battling it out in Al-
len Fieldhouse on Dec. 10. Here
are just a few questions heading
into the season.
Will Thomas Robinson
live up To expecTaTions?
I think he will. Robinson was
named to the CBS all-American
frst team on Monday and people
across the country are expecting a
breakout year for the junior from
Washington D.C. He played fewer
than 15 minutes a game last year,
but the same could be said about
the Morris twins while Cole Al-
drich was in the fold. Or Aldrich
while Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jack-
son and Sasha Kaun were here,
and on and on. As long as Danny
Manning is on the coaching staf,
all-American big men shouldnt be
a surprise.
Which TyshaWn TayloR
Will fans see This yeaR?
When Taylor is on, hes as good
as any point guard in the Big 12.
When hes not? Well, its not pretty.
He was sometimes overshadowed
on his own high school team at St.
Anthonys in New Jersey. When he
arrived at Kansas, it was the Sher-
ron Collins show. Last season, the
Morris twins were the go-to guys.
But now as a senior, its Taylors
time. He has one season to cement
his legacy among Kansas fans and
signifcantly boost his NBA po-
tential. Teres simply too much
to lose for Taylor not to be really
good all season. Dont expect any-
thing else.
WhaT playeR could
suRpRise fans This
season?
Ill go with forward Kevin Young,
the transfer from Loyola Mary-
mount. Coach Bill Self said Young
has a chance to be a starter, and he
will have plenty of opportunities
to prove himself this season. With
forward Jamari Traylor ineligible,
Young looks to be the third schol-
arship forward on the roster, gar-
nering him plenty of playing time.
Tomas Robinson will be consis-
tent, somewhere around 12 points
and eight rebounds a game. Te
rest of the production down low
will have to come from Jef With-
ey and Young. At Loyola in 2009,
Young broke freshmen records in
total rebounds (224) and rebounds
per game (7.2). Hes also played for
the Puerto Rican under-19 team,
so the experience is there.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. At the
Big 12 womens basketball media
day, coaches from around the
league sat down behind the mi-
crophone and dodged the inevita-
ble conference-realignment ques-
tions. Tough
the moves
were based
on football,
w o m e n s
ba s ke t ba l l
was also af-
fected by the
changes.
Coa c he s
such as
Oklahomas
Sherri Coale
stressed the
strength of
the confer-
ence that sent
seven of its 12
teams to the NCAA tournament
last season.
When you play in a league that
has the strength that the womens
basketball conference or the Big
12 Conference and womens bas-
ketball has, you dont want to see
that broken up for any reason,
Coale said. And thats not good
for the game.
When the conference shrank
with the loss of Colorado and
Nebraska, the schools changed
their schedules to face the 10
remaining schools twice. Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson said
that the change would be exciting
but difcult.
From a com-
petitive stand-
point, it is even
more challeng-
ing because of
the strength that
the southern part
of the league has
and how talented
those teams are,
Henrickson said.
Te Jayhawks
feature seven
players from
Texas and one
from Oklahoma.
Henrickson said
the additions of
southern games would be more
motivating for those athletes and
would be a good opportunity for
recruiting.
As the conference continues
to change, the rivalries that have
lasted through the existence of the
conference will also be afected.
When asked about whether she
would continue to schedule Mis-
souri if the school lef the confer-
ence, she paused and winked.
Our rivalry belongs in the Big
12, Henrickson said.
Tensions were highest regard-
ing the decision of Texas A&M to
leave the Big 12 for the SEC. Te
Aggies are the defending national
champions and are predicted to
fnish second in the conference
despite the loss of two starters.
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey com-
pared the abandoned rivalry with
Texas A&M to an ended marriage
and admitted that she did not
want to continue the competition
beyond the conference.
If a man wants to divorce me
and says our relationship has no
value to him, and then he asks to
sleep with me, the answer is: no,
Mulkey said. We are not going to
play them anymore, because they
decided that playing us was not
important to them.

last year.

Sara McClinton was the em-
bodiment of the Kansas volley-
ball team afer Wednesday nights
game. Te freshman outside hit-
ter was battered and bruised to
the point that she needed to have
three oversized ice packs wrapped
onto various parts of her body.
But on the heels of a seventh
consecutive loss in the Big 12, the
banged up McClinton struggled
to fnd answers.
Its similar habits that are
transferring from each game,
McClinton said. Until its fxed,
were going to have similar
outcomes. We need to make the
changes now while we still have
season lef.
Te Jayhawks (12-8, 0-7) lost to
rival K-State (15-6, 4-3) at home
on Wednesday night, 25-19, 21-
25, 20-25, 12-25.
I feel like we let Jayhawk na-
tion down today, coach Ray
Bechard said.
Afer out-attacking the Wild-
cats in the frst set at a .371 to .065
clip, the Jayhawks tumbled down
the stretch. Te Wildcats would
fnish the game with seven aces
and two service errors, while the
Jayhawks would have only one ace
and seven service errors. Bechard
said that was the most telling sta-
tistic of the evening.
Tose are things we all have
complete control over, like shoot-
ing a free throw, Bechard said.
Tey require a bit of concentra-
tion, and tonight we werent where
we needed to be.
Te Wildcats stormed past the
Jayhawks in the fourth set, notch-
ing 15 kills, thanks to 10 assists in
the frame by junior setter Caitlyn
Donahue. Te game ended on an
emphatic kill from sophomore
middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger,
which sent the Wildcat fans at the
game into a frenzy.
Bechard said Wednesdays
loss could not be pinned on
preparation.
We had great practices on
Monday and Tuesday, Bechard
said. So to not respond in its en-
tirety is disappointing.
Despite a game-high 18 digs
from sophomore libero Brianne
Riley, the balanced Wildcats
would out-dig the Jayhawks
61-58. Senior outside hitter
Allison Mayfeld said some of
K-States point-saving digs were
demoralizing.
Tats really frustrating, May-
feld said. You have a good hit
and somebody comes up with a
good dig and it kind of takes a hit
to your morale. You think, What
else do I have to do to score?
Tere is a sense of urgency for
Bechard and his staf, who said
time is running out for his squad
to make corrections.
Obviously we still think weve
got a quality team, but quality
teams need to get quality wins,
Bechard said. And we need to
fgure it out sooner rather than
later.
