Washington, D.C.

, can be an
intimidating place to spend
a semester, especially while
working a full-time internship at
C-SPAN, Interpol or the White
House. However, with the help of
University professors and alumni,
it can also be a place to build
connections that will lead to your
frst job.
Tirty years ago, Professor Bur-
dett Loomis created an internship
program
in D.C. to
help ease
the fnancial
burden that
students face
and give
students
experience in
their respec-
tive felds.
Students must make their own
travel arrangements, pay for
credits per hour, spend time with
other students in the program
and adapt to a diferent environ-
ment.
D.C. or bust
Students are responsible for
fnding a full-time internship,
while the program provides
housing and weekly seminars to
connect students with profession-
als in D.C.
Year afer year, students fnd
great internships that we never
knew existed, Loomis said. Its
a good preparation for fnding
a job.
Loomis said students ofen
believe the stereotype that D.C.
only consists of politicians. He
said he stresses to students each
year that this isnt true.
Even though it seems very
political, the fact is people with
useable skills whatever they
are, from any major really
are attractive to people in D.C.,
Loomis said.
Many internships in D.C. are
unpaid. However, students
negotiate the parameters of their
internship, such as pay and time
of.
Building connections
Dustin Morris, senior from
Wichita, spent last spring as a
paid intern for Sen. Jerry Moran
of Kansas.
D.C. wouldnt run without
interns, Morris said.
Morris said he spent his intern-
ship doing some menial work,
like answering phones and giving
tours, but he was also able to
research foreign policy, a topic of
his choosing.
Unlike many interns in D.C.,
Morris said he was able to meet
and talk with the senator he
worked under.
He had lunch with Moran and
his wife, went on a tour of the
Capitol dome with the senator
and served as photographer for
Moran at an event.
While the senator's time was
very valuable, he would make
it point to chat with the interns
when he arrived to the ofce in
the morning, Morris said.
Finding a job
Trough connections Morris
made in D.C., he got a job at
a political consulting frm in
Kansas City.
Loomis said that most seniors
who go through the program and
seek a job are able to fnd one,
whether its with the organiza-
tion the student interned at or
through a connection a student
made while in D.C.
People come from all over the
country to be in D.C., but the
Kansas community in D.C. is
really strong, Loomis said. We
have lots of alums who are eager
to help.

DIVERSITY IN DANCE
Te KU Department of Dance
welcomes an internationally
known guest artist this fall for a
semester-long residency.
Talia Beck, a celebrated Israeli
dancer and choreographer, has
arrived to teach her version of
modern dance, which will include
a culmination of the various
techniques and disciplines she
accumulated during her years as a
dancer.
Beck says she doesnt want to
limit her interaction with the stu-
dents to giving information, and
rather hopes that they are able to
exchange ideas and fgure out their
style together.
In some schools or strict dis-
ciplines, we get so obsessed with
technique and getting it right,
Beck said. I would like us to share
joy in movement, and I think that
the dance department at KU has
that; Ive seen it in the students.
Tey just enjoy moving, and its
not something I see everywhere.
One of the ways she plans to
get students thinking about their
movement is
through focus-
ing on each of
their senses.
Ill give them
instructions
like, Feel the
taste in your
mouth, or Feel
the inside of
your ears, and
theyll be like,
What does that
have to do with movement? But
its part of your body; of course it
has to do with movement. Tats
something Id like to explore with
them, Beck said.
Tus far in her classes, Beck says
she has found the students very
willing and ready to learn, even if
some of her techniques are unlike
styles of dance they have seen in
the past.
Teyre open people in general; I
think its something about KU and
the community here. People are
just open, Beck
said.
Beck brings a
unique per-
spective to the
world of dance,
and worked for
years for the
Inbal Pinto and
Avshalom Pollak
Dance Company,
a notable dance
company in Israel.
She has toured worldwide as a
dancer, and her original choreog-
raphy has been performed around
the globe. In 2010, she received
the Ministry of Culture Award for
Young Choreographer.
Her time at the University is
made possible through a residency
that is part of the Schusterman
Visiting Israeli Artist Program. Te
program sends Israeli flmmakers,
writers, musicians, choreogra-
phers and other artists to cultural
organizations and universities
across North America.
Beck and nine other visiting
artists will be in residences in the
United States through this years
program. Te hope is that the
artists will introduce and edu-
cate others about Israeli culture
through the interaction within
their communities.
Ever since I started telling peo-
ple I was coming here, everybodys
been talking about how amazing
Lawrence is and how KU is such
a special place. I have to say, Ive
only been here a few days and I
feel it already, Beck said. I love it
here already; Im really happy and
thankful to be here.

NETWORKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE
To those crossing their fngers
that the University will soon ofer
a minor in Spanish, dont get your
hopes too high.
Although Student Senate passed a
resolution that laid out an 18-hour
Spanish minor to the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences last Feb-
ruary, recent state budget cuts to
education as well as other concerns
like faculty and GTA workloads
make the Spanish & Portuguese
Department uncertain if the
minor can be ofered with existing
resources.
Adding a new program to a
highly-enrolled department such
as Spanish & Portuguese requires
careful consideration and plan-
ning, said Professor Jorge Perez,
the acting Chair of the Spanish
& Portuguese Department said
in an email. He added that the
department is working closely with
the Deans ofce of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences to main-
tain the quality of classes in the
program and determine required
resources.
Despite some progress toward
creating a Spanish minor, students
have expressed surprise and
frustration at the lack of a current
ofering.
For a University that prides
itself on the amount of languages
available to students, a minor of
such a critical language in the U.S.
seems like something that should
be ofered, said Joey Hentzler, a
junior from Topeka. He decided
to pursue a Latin American & Ca-
ribbean studies minor because the
University didnt ofer a Spanish
minor.
Codi Ehrlich, a senior from
Dodge City, also believes the
University should ofer a Spanish
minor. She said she is majoring
in Spanish because she wanted to
learn the language, but because
she is majoring in biology as well,
her graduation plans were afected.
A minor would have been more
convenient.
Despite frustration from some
that the University doesn't ofer
a minor, others think it is for the
best.
Language takes a long time to
learn; Im still learning even with
a degree, said James Baker, a
graduate student from Coppell,
Texas, who graduated in 2012 from
the University with Spanish and
Latin American studies degrees.
He further added that a minor
would only be a resume builder
and wouldn't indicate language
profciency.
Professor Perez echoed this point
and said that one advantage of the
major is more exposure to the sub-
ject, which results in better linguis-
tic abilities. Despite the ongoing
debate over whether there should
be a Spanish minor ofered by the
University, everyone interviewed
shared a passion for the language
and its culture.
Hentzler said that learning
Spanish has made a new world full
of diferent cultures and literature
available to him.

Tere are a number of campus
factors that remain constant with
the comings and goings of each
semester. Parking is atrocious,
the hill is steep and textbooks are
very expensive, which is causing
students to take desperate mea-
sures in order to save a dollar.
Textbook costs have been
steadily rising for years and
students are always looking for
alternatives. If possible, most
students go
for a used
version of
a textbook
rather than
buying it
new, but
recently a
number of
students
have gone
the route
of using e-textbooks as a viable
alternative.
Trough the use of e-readers
such as the iPad and Kindle,
students can purchase electronic
versions of their books at a steep
discount when compared to the
new print version. Even profes-
sors support the idea of students
saving money and taking advan-
tage of electronic options.
I really like the option of
e-textbooks for students.
Textbook authors and pub-
lishers should be reaching out
to students in the students
preferred media, said Chuck
Marsh, a professor in the School
of Journalism.
However, as recently as this
past year, some students have
started pirating their textbooks
from online resources with the
use of torrents in order to avoid
textbook costs entirely. Tis
emerging trend raises a number
of ethical questions, since techni-
cally this is stealing the works
of authors, some of which are
Kansas professors.
If we knowingly and illegally
take the property of others, I
think we damage ourselves and
our potential to lead rich, full
lives, said Marsh.
Tis ethical concern is some-
thing that should be on the mind
of anyone choosing to obtain his
or her textbooks in this manner.
Although this process is not
exactly ethical, this will not deter
most students when comparing
the money theyre saving to the
moral concerns of getting their
textbooks for free.
If the resources are there, Im
going to take advantage of them.
If textbook publishers dont feel
bad about charging one to two
hundred dollars
for a single book,
then Im not going
to feel bad for sav-
ing as much, said
Mark Rhinehart, a
senior from Piper.
Victoria Ragan,
a senior from
Overland Park,
chooses to avoid
the idea of e-text-
books and piracy
altogether. Other people pirat-
ing textbooks doesnt bother me,
although I dont do it myself. I
prefer having a physical book to
write in, mark up and bookmark
things that I fnd important.
Marsh also addresses a concern
that could possibly fuel students
in their desire to pirate the works
of professors. Te misconception
that professors are writing new
editions of their books simply to
make more money is dispelled in
the regulations concerning the
assignment of a personal work to
students. At KU, if we assign our
own textbook to our students,
we return any profts we make
on those sales to our academic
units so that were not earning
money from our own students,
said Marsh.
So the questions loom. Do the
ends justify the means? Is piracy
justifable? Should ethical con-
cerns outweigh possible savings?
Tese questions and more will
continue to shape this debate
until a solution that meets the
expectations of both sides is
found.

TOPEKA A Kansas Senate
committee approved Gov. Sam
Brownback's nomination of his
chief counsel to the state Court
of Appeals afer questioning him
about past writings on social and
political issues.
Te Judiciary Committee's
voice vote sends Caleb Stegall's
nomination to the full Senate for
a debate and vote, both of which
are expected Wednesday. Brown-
back's fellow Republicans have
a supermajority in the chamber,
making confrmation a near
certainty.
Stegall faced questions during
the committee's confrmation
hearing about comments in 2005
in an online magazine he edited
that encouraged "forcible resis-
tance" to state and federal court
orders in an efort to save the
life of a brain-damaged Florida
woman. He said the magazine
was only advocating civil disobe-
dience.
He ducked questions about his
personal views on capital pun-
ishment, school funding and gun
rights, noting that those issues
might come before the court.
"Te role of a judge is strictly to
apply the law as it exists to the
facts at hand," Stegall said. "It is
certainly not the role of a Court
of Appeals judge to change the
law."
Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Jef King, an Inde-
pendence Republican, said the
hearing demonstrated that Stegall
has the right temperament for the
bench.
Te only committee member
voting against Stegall's nom-
ination was Sen. Pat Pettey, a
Kansas City Democrat, who said
she has concerns about Stegall's
conservative views and whether
his appointment will compromise
judicial independence because of
his close ties to the governor. Sen.
David Haley, also of Kansas City
and the committee's only other
Democrat, abstained to protest
the selection process.
Stegall's appointment was the
frst under a law that took efect
in July, changing how Court of
Appeals judges are selected. Un-
der the old system, still in place
for Kansas Supreme Court seats,
a nominating commission led
by lawyers screened applicants
and named three fnalists, with
no role for lawmakers afer the
governor's appointment. Now,
the governor's ofce screens the
candidates and Brownback makes
the appointment, subject to Sen-
ate confrmation.
Brownback declined to release
the name of the other dozen
candidates for the vacancy, and
his critics have said that makes
it hard to judge whether Stegall
was the best-qualifed candidate.
Senate Minority
Leader Antho-
ny Hensley, a
Topeka Demo-
crat, called the
appointment
"the worst kind
of political cro-
nyism."
Stegall, 41,
served two years
as Jeferson
County's elected prosecutor
before joining Brownback's staf
when the governor took ofce in
January 2011.
Stegall also was an attorney
in private practice, best known
for defending four Americans
detained in Haiti afer trying to
remove 33 chil-
dren who they
believed had
been orphaned
in its 2010
earthquake.
Stegall's clients
returned to the
U.S. without
facing charges.
Hensley raised
the question
about a 2005 editorial in Te New
Pantagruel, the online magazine
edited by Stegall, about Terri
Schiavo, whose case in Florida
inspired a national debate when
courts ordered the removal of life
support.
Hensley said the editorial's
criticism of the courts raised
questions about Stegall's ftness
for the bench.
But Stegall told the commit-
tee that the comments had
been mischaracterized and that
civil disobedience repeatedly has
advanced the cause of human
rights.
He also said embracing civil
disobedience includes accepting
that laws nevertheless will be
enforced, views he described as
"completely harmonious with the
role of a judge." He said he will
be fair and impartial and said any
nominee would bring "a former
life" to the role.

I
was eating homemade Oreo
balls on the couch when I re-
alized how America felt about
Syria. Teres something very
disturbing in living so far from
global problems that they feel like
well-produced TV shows that
just happen to play on CNN. Its a
sign of overexposure to a violent
world and a dangerous attitude
of good, old-fashioned American
arrogance.
Tey were glued together by a
thick layer of sludge the Oreo
balls, I mean and each one
took some jimmying to work
free. A series of tweets buzzed
on my phone mid-bite, reports
that nearly guaranteed American
intervention in the Syrian confict,
and I didnt even finch.
I was using a copy of the New
York Times with the same dire
headlines as a coaster. Id non-
chalantly scroll past images of
shelled-out neighborhoods and
hospitals bloated with sarin gas
victims. I was more interested in
eating horrible junk food than
giving fve seconds to one of the
worst humanitarian crises of the
past decade.
And I call myself informed.
We live in America with two gar-
gantuan saltwater moats protect-
ing us. From dead-center-of-the-
map Kansas, even Washington,
D.C., seems to be a world away.
In an age where I can Skype with
someone from Denmark with a
click, I feel strangely isolated from
most of the world.
Its the fault of my coddled
upbringing and a news corps that
frames world events like specta-
tor sports. Reports on riots and
warzones are fashy, violent, and
bite-sized. Teyre cut to look
like action-movie scenes mixed
with football games. Death toll
infographics and SportsCen-
ter-like analysis add spice to the
crumbling of nations. Im lef
entertained but unmoved.
When I wake up each morning,
its a food of apocalyptic informa-
tion: fres ravaging the west, Syria
imploding, the NSA harvesting
my information, Miley Cyruss
racial appropriation. It becomes,
at best, brainless entertainment
and, at worst, white noise.
Were all plugged in but tuned
out.
As young as I am, Ive already
been numbed to the horrors of
natural disasters and war. My
most prominent childhood mem-
ory was 9/11. My connectivity
has overloaded me with tragedy.
Global conficts have become a
cruel and disgusting background
to daily life that I acknowledge
but ignore to spend more time
micro-managing Twitter and
fnishing homework.
Te solution to this haze of secu-
rity is the worst kind. Te Boston
Marathon bombings were a wake-
up call, just one in a long string of
them. It worked for a few weeks,
a month or two maximum, before
falling back into the already satu-
rated timeline of tragedies.
Even worse is that I cant think
of a better method of kick-starting
the collective psyche. It becomes
a race to the bottom, a contest to
shock the American public into
getting of of their couches. In
the downward spiral, the worst is
always yet to come.
And here I am, still eating my
Oreo ball, wondering when I can
get another one and if I can get a
Reeses version, disturbingly igno-
rant of what the real world is like.

T
o the chagrin of several
of my friends and family
members, Im pretty vocal
about the fact that Im a feminist.
Im constantly reading and shar-
ing articles about body image,
self-confdence, emphasis on
brains instead of boobs, all that
good stuf. I am very open about
it, and I like to think I live my life
according to that interest.
Recently, however, I was brows-
ing Twitter and saw a post that
was totally demeaning to women.
Ten I scanned my feed and saw
several other tweets that, while
not outright ofensive, still made
me scrunch my nose a little.
Tey came from humor
accounts like @MensHumor, @
SororityProblems, @Womens-
Humor, @CommonWhiteGirl, @
OhHeWantsTeP really? @
totalfratmove, the list goes on
and on.
Believe me, Im not thrilled
about publicizing that I follow
any of these. When youre 18 and

you see 300,000 followers and
one witty remark and youre sold.
But now that Im nearly 22 and
use my Twitter for things like
networking and sharing ideas, do
the same rules really apply?
Heres the funny thing, though.
When I went to unfollow all
those accounts, I was actually
hesitant. Why? Because they are
HILARIOUS. Most of them are
damn funny, and for every tweet
that makes me cringe, theres
another that makes me laugh
because I, too, have walked out of
Target with $150 worth of useless
workout gear, chapstick and Red
Bull.
Tis is true for other aspects of
life, as well. How many of us have
friends who are detrimental to
our life goals, but whom we keep
around just because they make
us laugh? How many of us vow to
read or study or work more, but
instead spend our time watching
reality television because its a
guilty pleasure?
Te beginning of a new school
year is a time to make changes in
our lives. But all the list-making,
inspiration boards and good
intentions in the world wont
work efectively if we continue to
let negative aspects of our lives
linger. As an avid organizer and
goal-setter, it pains me to say
that. But its true. If youre trying
to make a positive change, why
not surround yourself with me-
dia that is positive, uplifing and
true to what you believe?
Eventually, I unfollowed all the
accounts and I will continue to
eliminate others when I see a
pattern of messages with which
I disagree. By following those
users, I was essentially saying, I
support this, no matter how they
flled their 140-character limit. I
was publicly following, favoriting
and retweeting individuals who,
just as ofen as not, were wildly
contradicting the things I believe,
even in the name of humor.
Its not about whether people
will ever take the time to look up
whom I follow and judge me for
it. Its not about whether you be-
lieve Twitter should be a place for
entertainment, social issues or
advertising. Its about surround-
ing yourself with ideas that are
uplifing and meaningful. And I
need that a whole lot more than
I need a joke about impulse buys
at Target.

I
ve taken this same concussion
test six times before. I dont
want to take it a seventh. But I
take it, because I know I have to.
I just want this appointment to
be over.
Afer playing soccer for 15 years,
I cant say that Im surprised
that so much is wrong with my
body. Whether its the frequent
headaches, the way my joints
and bones pop whenever I walk
around or even just a deep ache
in my shoulders or knees, it all
adds up quickly and takes a toll
on my body.
In 15 years of playing soccer,
I sufered four concussions. I
broke more than ten bones and
had countless sprains and strains.
Like I said, they add up. I may not
have been able to prevent the in-
juries themselves, but I defnitely
made them worse by not taking
the rehabilitation process as seri-
ously as I should have. Tere were
so many times where I should
have been sidelined longer, but I
returned earlier rather than fully
healing.
Tis past high school season,
I separated my shoulder with
four weeks lef in the season. I
went to the doctor and he said
it would be a one-to-two month
injury if I wanted it to fully heal.
I remember straight up lying to
my trainer, and lying to my coach
that it was only a two-week injury
so that I could return sooner.
Crazy right?
Now thats just one example,
but it shows how insensitive
I was to my own body. With
my all concussions with the
exception of the last one I am
almost positive that I came back
too early. My frequent headaches
come and go, but they are usually
consistent from day-to-day and
difer in severity, depending on
how much I do that day.
Te doctor walks in, along with
my parents. He says that I scored
well on my concussion test. I
dont really care though; it doesnt
make my head hurt any less, it
doesnt dismiss the fact that I
have headaches constantly.
When I think back to my
concussions, I really wish I would
have taken more time of. But it
really is difcult to take time of
when you feel as though youre
letting down your teammates.
Whenever I got hurt, I nev-
er thought about the future. I
thought about getting healthy as
soon as possible, because I didnt
want to miss an opportunity to
play.
My last concussion came last
February and efectively ended
my soccer career.
I fnally began to realize what
the doctors had been preaching
to me throughout my many
emergency room visits. I started
to see that my body wasnt going
to last long if I continued to play
sports at my previous level of
competition.
Now, I sit in this doctors ofce,
being told what I can and cannot
do. Im being told when we need
to make another appointment
and where I need to pick up my
new prescription headache pills. I
dont want to be here, I just want
to play soccer.
But my last concussion wasnt
all bad it made me realize that
I needed to stop putting myself in
position to get hurt. I needed to
begin taking more precautions.
And I needed to begin dealing
with my temporary pains, so that
I wouldnt end up in a lifetime of
pain.

Finding something to do in
Lawrence can be hard when your
budget hardly covers a meal. As
it turns out, many businesses in
town ofer discounts to students
throughout the year. Keep an eye
out for deals from these student
favorites.
Sylas and Maddys:
Afer talking to students on
campus, one of the most popular
discounts found was at Sylas and
Maddys on Massachusetts Street.
Te ice cream shop has a buy one
get one free special on Tuesdays,
which is a good opportunity to
meet up with a friend you havent
seen for a while.
Rudys Pizza:
A lot of pizzerias in the Law-
rence area have student discounts

for. Rudys Pizza at 704 Mas-
sachusetts St. ofers frequent
deals, whether its the Almost the

Dempseys Burger Pub:
If you happen to be down-

NEW YORK A monthlong
standof that prevented millions of
viewers from watching hit shows
like "Under the Dome" and "NCIS"
and threatened to interfere
with the start of football season
ended Monday afer Time Warner
Cable and CBS Corp. resolved a
programming dispute.
Te deal covers more than 3
million homes in New York, Dallas
and Los Angeles that hadn't been
able to receive programming from
CBS or CBS-owned channels since
Aug. 2. Broadcasting resumed
Monday evening on the East
Coast.
Te companies had been fghting
over how much Time Warner
Cable Inc. would pay for program-
ming on CBS and other channels,
including Showtime Networks,
CBS Sports Network and the
Smithsonian channel. Terms of
the deal were not immediately
disclosed.
Te disagreement came at a
touchy time for networks and
cable companies as more and more
Americans are turning to alterna-
tive ways to watch TV, including
online or on Internet-connected
TVs.
Added pressure was on the two
companies to reach an agree-
ment with CBS holding deals to
broadcast NFL and Southeastern
Conference football, as well as
the start of the U.S. Open tennis
tournament.
Te blackout afected about 1.1
million of New York's 7.4 million
television households that get CBS.
An estimated 1.3 million of 5.6
million households in Los Angeles
were blacked out, along with
400,000 of Dallas' 2.6 million TV
homes, CBS said. Tose are three
of the nation's fve most populous
television markets.
CBS estimated the blackout cut
the network's national viewership
by about 1 percent.
"While we certainly didn't get
everything we wanted, ultimately
we ended up in a much better
place than when we started," Time
Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt
said in a statement.
Te smallest nuances and
touches of detail ofen make the
work of a skilled artist great. Neko
Case, American singer-songwriter
known for a successful solo career
and member of Canadian band
Te New Pornographers, crafs
her music in the same way that
a renowned painter approaches
visual art.
But instead of a paintbrush, she
uses musicianship and poetic
songwriting a touch of piano
or harp here, a carefully placed
lyric there to color many of her
songs with a feeling rather than a
specifc message.
Cases new album Te Worse
Tings Get, Te Harder I Fight,
Te Harder I Fight, Te More
I Love You, isnt winning any
brevity awards with its title,
but the content is anything but
longwinded. Most of the tracks are
brief, sensory representations of
Cases melancholy emotions when
dealing with depression during the
albums production. She described
the feeling of breaking through
these personal problems in a
recent interview with NPR.
Once I stopped fghting it, thats
when it really started, Case said.
Its like a bottleneck broke open,
and everything started to fow
again and my circulation came
back.
Many tracks on Te Worse
Tings Get are tinged with feel-
ings of sadness and depression, yet
it never gets too weepy. For every
song like the haunting Nearly
Midnight, Honolulu, a bitter an-
ecdote about a mother who doesnt
love her child, there is another like
the punked-out single Man, in
which Case pokes fun at everyone
with a Y chromosome.
Te key to Cases unique and im-
mediately recognizable style is her
voice. Her singing is similar to that
of another great singer-songwrit-
er, Joni Mitchell, in its clear and
captivating power, if not its exact
sound. Te song Calling Cards is
an ode to communication between
lovers in the pre-cellular era that
practically bleeds road trip nos-
talgia. She sings the lyrics Every
dial tone, every truck stop, every
heartbreak / I love you more as a
subtle trumpet and sof piano keys
accentuate the vocals.
Like many poets, Case rarely says
exactly what she means, prefer-
ring instead to let listeners fll in
their own impressions. Make no
mistake Neko Case is one mu-
sician who should be considered
a recording artist, in the truest
sense of the word.

A
t the end of the second
season of Teen Wolf, I
was in love. Te charac-
ters were dynamic and the plot
compelled me to watch particular
episodes over and over again
in case I didnt catch all of the
details. Character Stiles Stilinskis
monologue in the episode Battle-
feld was moving.
Writer and producer Jef Davis
won me over with the insertion of
the Winston Churchill quotation,
If youre going through hell, keep
going. I was thrilled for season
three and the addition of the
Alpha Pack. But while watching
the frst episode, I felt as if Davis
laughed in my face and stomped
on my wooing heart. As the sea-
son continued, my obsession with
Teen Wolf dwindled.
Season three failed in one major
way: storytelling. It started way
too fast with way too many ques-
tions lef unanswered.
Season two ended with the
shapeshifing Kanimas defeat,
thanks to Lydia melting Jacksons
cold, cold heart. Te power of
love defeated Gerard and gave
Jackson his long-awaited were-
wolf body.
Season three has Jackson
living in London, and we can
all say Adios! to any shred of
a world-moving relationship.
So, the fnale of season two was
marked meaningless.
From there, everything went
downhill for me:
Erica dies.
Boyd dies pretty soon afer.
Derek Hales sister is alive? Oh,
darn. So is Gerard.
Someone is killing virgins.
Great.
Allison and Isaac a thing? Stop.
Please.
All of this was handled with an
amateur and sloppy hand. Te
Davis I knew, with his touches of
subtle but understandable story-
telling, was gone with the wind.
With all the new developments,
everything just seems forced. I get
that Davis cant control whether
an actor leaves the show. But how
he handled it made important
character deaths seem fippant.
Two of my favorite characters
were killed of, just like that.
It only gets worse as the season
progresses.
Why are Dereks eyes blue?
Because of another past tragic
love story. Poor Derek had so
much potential as a character, but
instead hes defned by past rela-
tionships. And his fing? Yep, shes
the one sacrifcing the virgins.
Derek is now the shows punching
bag, which doesnt allow any real
character development.
Te only real redeeming plot
point of this season is the revela-
tion that Lydia is a banshee. Tat
has potential to bring up lots of
fun for part two of the season.
And I do have to admit that in
previous seasons,the last couple
episodes have been vital in re-
gards to plot. But if you lose your
audience before those episodes,
whats the point?
Dont get me wrong. Teen
Wolf isnt ruined. But Davis does
need to work on his storytell-
ing. Big time. Less fght scenes
and more getting to know the
characters.
Cherish the characters because
that is why the fans keep coming
back.

Museum of former
dictators last two days
alive opens in Romania
TARGOVISTE, Romania More than
20 years after Communist dictator
Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife,
Elena, were convicted of genocide
and executed in Romania, the country
opened a museum about the last two
days of their lives during the country's
pro-democracy uprising.
The museum is located in a military
building where the trial and executions
took place in Targoviste, a town 80
kilometers (50 miles) northwest of
Bucharest.
Ceausescu had ruled Romania
for nearly 25 years with an iron fst.
Museum visitors will be able to see
metal plates that he and his wife ate
on, the beds where they slept, and
a tiny improvised courtroom where
they faced a hastily conducted trial
before a special military tribunal. The
place where they were fatally shot on
Christmas Day, 1989, at 2:45 p.m.,
also is showcased.
On Tuesday, Gen. Andrei Kemen-
ci, the former commander of the
garrison located in the building, took
journalists on a tour of the museum.
He said Ceausescu was dissatisfed
that he was only given brown bread
and sweets to eat there. Kemenci also
said the leader asked for a change of
clothes and to borrow money to spend
at a military canteen.
In 1989, Romanian forces shot and
killed about 1,100 people conducting
anti-communist demonstrations, most
of them unarmed.
On Dec. 22, the Ceausescus fed
Bucharest in a helicopter after they
were booed by a crowd and hours later
Defense Minister Vasile Milea appar-
ently committed suicide. Abandoned
by the helicopter pilot and most of the
leader's aides, the Ceausescus then
hitchhiked and ended up in Targoviste,
where they were arrested by police.
On Dec. 24, provisional leaders who
took over after the Ceausescus fed
Bucharest decided the couple would
stand trial the next day.

Te Kansas Womens Soccer Club
is looking to make the jump from
a recreational squad to a more
vying team this fall. Te club is
hoping to reach a higher level of
competition than they have in
previous years.
Were shifing from more of a
just-for-fun, recreational team to
a higher competitive team, Club
Secretary Sarah Kwapiszeski said.
Te club is holding tryouts today,
Wednesday, Tursday, and Friday,
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Shenk
Sports Complex on 23rd and Iowa
streets. Te club is searching for
dedicated players who are willing
to take the club to the next level.
Coach Jon Kot is on the lookout
for players with skills that can be
used in more than one position, to
create a more complete squad. Te
club is interested in girls with a
team-comes-frst outlook.
We look at everything from a
team perspective, Kot said. We
want players with a hard-working
attitude and a team mentality.
Building on last years accom-
plishments and working on
individual player growth are going
to be goals for this year.
We focus on team play and want
everyone to focus on the system
and style of play, Kot said.
Te club saw success this past
year when they made a strong
showing at Nationals, making it to
the Sweet Sixteen. Te team is also
looking for a repeat as regional
champions.
Tere are certain people who
have shining moments in some
games and everyone steps up,
Kwapiszeski said. We play really
well as a team.
Although the team lost players
this year, the Jayhawks still have a
good group of girls to work with.
We have a great core team that
will transition the hard work ethic
shown in practices to the games,
Kot said.
Te club will travel to Colorado,
Nebraska, Arkansas and Kansas
State this year, while looking to
make another run at the national
tournament in Phoenix.
We really want to get a lot of
new people at tryouts so we can be
even better this year, Kwapiszeski
said.

Sendish moves up depth chart to
different position
Ever since Big 12 media days,
Charlie Weis has been gushing
over Cassius Sendish and the big
news on Tuesday was that his role
in the defense is now noticeably
larger.
Sendish was pegged at nickel-
back, but afer fall camp came
to an end, he was moved to free
safety. Te decision also hinged
on the depth at free safety coupled
with the comfort level that Weis
and company had in their two
nickelbacks, Victor Simmons and
Courtney Arnick, who were origi-
nally behind Sendish.
We took a position of strength
and we strengthened a position
that we thought was of weakness,
Weis said.
By fortifying a position, the
depth in the secondary is even
stronger and they have a little
more wiggle room for more action
on defense.
Coaches, including second-year
defensive coordinator Dave Cam-
po, have mentioned in the past
few weeks that Sendish possessed
the versatility to play relatively
anywhere on the feld.
Sendish has received rave reviews
as the acute mind of the second-
ary and is already well ahead of
the learning curve that coaches
expected out of him right from the
start.
It is a cerebral position, Campo
said. Te key to playing to corner
is being able to line up one-on-
one and cover someone, whereas
the safety position, it has all these
diferent run fts, change in cov-
erages.

Many Jayhawks to play in their
frst Division 1 game
All of the buzz this ofseason, all
of the hype, will be tested come
Saturday.
Te fve brand new junior college
players starting Samson Faifli,
Cassius Sendish, Mike Smithburg,
Zach Fondal, Isaiah Johnson and a
number of others who will surely
snif playing time will see Divi-
sion I action for the frst time and
try to prove themselves worthy of
their new scholarship.
One of the biggest challenges
for the group is adjusting to the
new, accelerated level of Division I
competition.
Te speed of the game changes
so much when you go from one
level to the next level, Weis said.
So they wont be able to truly
experience all the things they go
through until youre playing; you
see the speed goes up.
Justin McCay, who was at Okla-
homa for two seasons but never
saw a snap, will also be seeing his
frst lengthy football action since
high school.

Samson Faifli beats out Jake Love
Another emerging depth-chart
story has been the rise of weakside
linebacker Samson Faifli. He beat
out sophomore Jake Love, the
starter last year at the strongside
linebacker spot.
Faifli, a junior college transfer
from American River College in
West Valley, Utah, has been in
competition with Love, but fnally
rose to the top.
Te main diference, Weis said,
was Faiflis size advantage.
Weis said diference in size was
the underlying factor that helped
make his decision.
Although Faifli made a late push
afer getting comfortable in camp,
Weis expected him to rise up and
challenge Love for the starter spot
from the get-go.
While Samson is the starter for
now, Weis mentioned that Love is
still in for a fair share of playing
time, which is the case with a lot of
positions on the Kansas defense.

MANHATTAN Bill Snyder
isn't about to make sweeping
changes to the depth chart afer
Kansas State struggled on both
sides of the ball in a season-open-
ing loss to North Dakota State.
Tat doesn't mean he won't
make some tweaks for Saturday
night's game against Louisi-
ana-Lafayette.
For one thing, Snyder seemed to
indicate Tuesday that sophomore
quarterback Daniel Sams will see
the feld more in Week 2. Sams
was beaten out for the starting job
late in fall camp by junior college
transfer Jake Waters, who threw
for 280 yards and two touch-
downs but was also picked twice.
"He deserves it and he had a
great practice last night," Snyder
said. "You also have to look at the
fact that Jake proved that he is
a very capable quarterback and
played well during the course of
the ball game. When you've got
a good athlete like Daniel, you've
got to fnd a place for him."
Te Wildcats relied heavily on a
running game that involved quar-
terback Collin Klein last season,
and Snyder seemed reluctant to
tear those plays out of the book
when Waters proved inefective.
Even when Sams entered the
game and ran 17 yards for a
touchdown on his frst play of the
season, Snyder stuck with Waters
on the majority of snaps even
the designed quarterback runs.
"You believe in not breaking
the continuity of the young guy
that's on the feld," Snyder said,
"but by the same token, Daniel's
a very athletic young guy, and
that was just my feeling that he
needed to be on the feld. He has
the capability of making plays and
he did so."
Just not enough of them.
Nobody on the Wildcats made
enough of them.
Afer building a two-touch-
down lead, the ofense suddenly
struggled to move the ball. Te
Bison countered by marching 80
yards in 18 plays for the go-ahead
score in the fnal seconds of the
fourth quarter, the drive so cruelly
efcient that it lef the Wildcats
virtually no time to answer.
Te 24-21 defeat was their frst
season-opening loss under Snyder
since 1989, his frst year at Kansas
State, and the frst loss to an FCS
opponent since the same season.
It was the kind of performance
that would ofen yield wholesale
changes to the depth chart, but
Snyder said that it's premature to
tinker too much with the starters.
"A lot of our number two's
didn't have a chance to be on the
feld at all," he explained. "Tey
need that opportunity and if we
were to make changes, it's a little
bit of guesswork."
While known primarily for his
running ability, Sams believe he
can be an efective passer as well
if he's given the opportunity. He
even credited working with Wa-
ters by far the more polished
QB when it comes to throwing the
ball to fne-tune his delivery
during the ofseason.
"I've improved as a passer
because I really didn't want to rely
on my running ability, because at
the end of the day we're battling
to be quarterbacks," Sams said.
"Quarterbacks are supposed to
throw the ball, so I focused on my
throwing mechanics and myself as
a quarterback."
A
s we all know, the most important
time of year is upon us: college
football season. While many in
Lawrence look forward to October and the
start of basketball, we have the start of a
new football season on our hands and its
full of promise.
Last weekend, the Jayhawk nation took
notice of our purple in-state rivals surpris-
ing loss to North Dakota State in their
shiny new stadium, no less (if you didnt
hear about this, I assume youre enjoying
life under a giant rock). If you didnt catch
the game, you probably saw an infux of
gloating tweets and defamatory Facebook
quips from smug Kansas fans.
While theres nothing wrong with reveling
in Kansas States loss, Kansas fans might be
talking out of turn. Before we take to social
media with snide remarks, we have a cou-
ple questions to answer: Will our team win
some games this year? How can the student
body help our chances (and, in doing so,
gain the rights to trash talk)?
Coach Charlie Weis has done a lot to
improve the Kansas football team afer
going 1-11 last season. According to ESPN.
com, Weis and the Kansas coaching staf
recruited 26 players this year. While some
will redshirt, many will start playing this
season especially the 18 recruits who
transferred from junior colleges and could
have an immediate impact on our success.
While no team is safe from a bad loss,
the Kansas football team is in a completely
diferent situation. Tis team is completely
unproven. We have the potential
to shine past our projected 4-8,
(according to the Kansas City Star),
but we could also do much worse. It
doesnt bode well to talk smack on a
team that has out performed us in the
past several years. It would be very
surprising if K-State didnt come back
from this loss and have a good season.
In short, the karmic forces of college
football are too unforgiving for us to mock
other teams while we have yet to play.
While only time will tell how Kansas per-
forms this season, the concern for students
showing up to the games is still present.
Afer three straight less than favorable
seasons, it can be difcult for the students
to care about attending the games. Its not
hard to notice the crowds tailgating outside
the stadium compared to the feeble num-
bers in the stands. It doesnt take a football
veteran to understand that the home game
atmosphere can afect the outcome of those
games.
If the student
body really wants
football bragging rights over
K-State, its time to start showing up to
games, supporting the team and making
enough noise for every Wildcat in Manhat-
tan to hear.
If we want to earn the right to trash talk,
the Kansas student body should pack the
stands, and cheer its team to victory this
Saturday. And hey, we might just get a W in
the books, too.

Wiggins receives All-
American title before
playing in college
Late Night in the Phog might be a few
weeks away yet, incoming freshman
Andrew Wiggins has already received one
of college basketballs most prestigious
titles: All-American.
Wiggins joins Oklahoma State
sophomore point guard Marcus Smart
as the only Big 12 players on the Blue
Ribbon All-America Team and is the
only freshman named to the squad.
Other members include Creighton senior
Doug McDermott, Louisville senior Russ
Smith and Michigan State junior Adreian
Payne.
This is a great honor but really
means nothing since I have yet to play a
game in college, Wiggins said. Were
working hard every day to get better as a
team and get ready for the season.
Last season at Huntington Prep
in West Virginia, Wiggins averaged
23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.5
assists while being named the national
basketball high school player of the year
and the 2013 Gatorade Male Athlete of
the Year.

Jarmoc leads Kansas to victory at UMKC
VOLLEYBALL
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
Te scenario has already played
itself out in Charlie Weis mind.
He can see his team beating
South Dakota this Saturday, then
winning against Rice in Houston,
coming back to Lawrence the
next week and defeating Loui-
siana Tech before really proving
something to the fans with a
homecoming victory over Texas
Tech.
Ten, lets go to TCU and see
what its like if were on a little
streak and everyones starting to
get a little juiced around here.
Tats what I want to do, Weis
said on Tuesday at his frst press
conference of the season.
Its been four years since Kansas
started a season on one of those
streaks, and Weis isnt making a
guarantee.
Is it going to happen like that? I
have no idea, Weis said.
But thats the mentality he wants
his players to have going into this
season. He wants them to believe
that they can win every game.
It is his responsibility to be the
leader of the shif in mentality.
He has to instill in his players that
losing will not be accepted in any
form.
Kansas lost fve games last
season by a touchdown or less.
Weis wants his team to disregard
that stat. It doesnt matter what
the score was if you take an L in
the end.
If we lose, we lose, Weis said,
but I think part of the problem
when youre in an organization
that gets used to losing, is losing
is OK. Losing is accepted. If you
play close to winning, its OK, and
thats a pile of garbage.
No player or coach on the team
has been
willing to give
a number
of wins they
expect this
season. And
thats how
Weis wants it.
It would be
another ex-
ample of what
Weis consid-
ers a losing
mentality for players to look at
the schedule, think about how
they match up with each team,
and come up with the number of
games they expect to win.
I mean, if you think like that
you deserve to be fred, or quit
one or the other, Weis said.
You should never ever as a
competitor think like that.
Te game has
yet to begin, but
the bitter taste
of a 1-11 season
hasnt lef Weis
yet. Its still too
early to deter-
mine whether or
not his team tru-
ly has a winning
approach.
Of course, Weis
would like to be-
lieve that there is a diference this
season. Players have said theyve
seen a new mentality. More
established leaders have stepped
up this season. But none of that
means anything until its proven
on the feld.
You start winning a couple of
those close games and the light
switch goes on, and the next thing
you know your team every
week is expecting to win those
games. Teyre not waiting for
something bad to happen. Teyre
making something good happen
when its crunch time, Weis said.
Something good has to happen
frst.
Kansas was picked by Big 12 me-
dia to fnish last once again this
season, and Weis reiterated, as
he did at Big 12 media days, that
that is exactly where the Jayhawks
should be listed for right now. But
he also sent a message to his team:
Until you start winning games,
thats where youre gonna stay.

CHARLIE WEIS
Kansas Coach
D
ont be so gloomy, Char-
lie. Saturday wasnt so
bad.
Sure, your team sat idling
while everyone else showcased
months of hard work. And yes,
you spent hours watching col-
lege football Saturday, thinking
it should be Kansas out there
too.
It was just awful, Weis said.
My least favorite day in the last
six months.
It had to be an empty feeling.
One that induced some anxiety.
You held the remote to your TV
instead of the playbook to your
ofense and it sucked.
You just put a capital L on
your forehead because thats
what it felt like sitting there
watching all these games, Weis
said.
Chin up, Chuck.
Teres one thing you mustve
watched that made your Satur-
day better: Kansas State lost to
North Dakota State 24-21. Te
Bison had an eight-minute drive
to close out the game and fnish
of the Wildcats.
Now that had to make you
smirk.
When you frst came to Law-
rence literally your frst day
in town you talked and talked
about Kansas State. You wanted
to fgure out why they had won
10 games, while Kansas had lost
10. You even duplicated their
recruiting tactic of bringing in
loads of junior college transfers.
A good goal for the long-term
success of the program isnt
beating Kansas State, its being
better than Kansas State.
No one is predicting Kansas
will overcome Kansas State this
year. As long as Bill Snyder is
running the program, that days
a long way away. Heck, its hard
to say Weis will ever see it hap-
pen. But, afer Saturday, a mes-
sage was sent to the program:
Teres a chance.
And that chance had to make
you feel good, Charlie.
Tats all of the work youve
put in, the criticism youve
taken, the career risk you took
to come to Lawrence, is fnally
starting to feel right.
Teres a chink in Bill Snyders
seemingly impenetrable force
feld out west, one that will
surely be corrected, but a sign of
weakness nonetheless.
Feel better, Charlie.
Your team had to sit on their
hands Saturday instead of using
them to block an opponent.
To catch a football. To throw a
pass. And that makes your team
itching to play. Tat makes your
team ready.
Tey watched the upset down
the road. Tey saw what a team
from the Dakotas can do, in case
they had already forgotten.
Even though you hated
Saturday, Charlie, just know
Bill Snyder hated it worse. And
thats not a bad start to your
football season.

Behind a career night from red-
shirt senior middle blocker Caro-
line Jarmoc, the Jayhawks topped
University of Missouri-Kansas
City 25-17, 23-25, 25-22, 25-21
last night, to improve their record
to 3-1 on the season.
Jarmoc, an Alberta, Canada
native, eclipsed 1,000 kills for
her Jayhawk career in the frst
set. While appreciative of the
milestone, Jarmoc was quick to
put things in perspective.
Im happy to
hear that, Jar-
moc said. But
whatever I can
do to help the
team is what I
care the most
about.
Jarmoc also
posted her sec-
ond career double-double with 19
kills and 10 blocks for the match.
She leads the team with 64 kills
and 18 blocks for the season. In
her frst year at Kansas, Jarmoc
didnt play a competitive match
due to a redshirt. Under NCAA
rules, she was allowed to practice
and travel with the team, but not
play in a match. It allowed her to
maintain four years of eligibility
while gaining valuable experi-
ence. Coach Ray Bechard said it
was a smart decision.
Te best thing she ever did was
take a redshirt, Bechard said.
It allowed her to mature as a
player.
Jarmoc said it was never a
goal to pass the 1,000 kill mark
while at Kansas. With tonights
performance, she now has 1,015
career kills with a majority of
the season remaining. Only one
active player in the Big 12, senior
Kaitlynn Pelger from Kansas
State, has more career kills.
Both Bechard and Jarmoc
attributed todays win to efcient
and accurate passing. Senior
setter Erin McNorton totaled 50
assists to mark the second time
this season shes posted at least
50 assists. Junior outside hitter
Chelsea Albers had 15 kills and
16 digs to continue her recent
hot streak. Tis marked her third
double-double of the season.
UMKC has quickly improved
under the leadership of former
Kansas assistant coach Christie
Posey. Jarmoc said the team
struggled to get into an ofensive
rhythm with the Kangaroos de-
fensive schemes. UMKC matched
Kansas with 16 blocks for the
match.
Tats the best UMKC team
Ive seen since Ive been at Kan-
sas, Bechard said. Its a feisty
team.
Te Jayhawks are now 19-0 all-
time against the Kangaroos.
Kansas will travel to Fayette-
ville, Ark., on Tursday, Sept. 5,
to take on Arkansas in the start
of a two-game series against the
Razorbacks. Te match will be at
7 p.m.
