According to new federal data,
states and universities have been

decreasing aid they provide
to lower-income students and
increasing the money going to
more afuent ones.
An analysis of federal data by
ProPublica found that since 1996,
the portion of grants given to
the poorest college students has
shrunk from 34 percent to 25
percent, and the portion going to
the wealthiest has increased from
16 percent to 23 percent.
Director of the KU News Service
Jill Jess said this trend could be
a result of universities trying to
bring a certain diversity to their
campus.
Tere is a focused efort within
higher education to strategically
use available funds to support
institutional goals, such as a high-
ability and diverse student body,
she said.
According to a study conducted
by the think tank New America
Foundation in May entitled,
Undermining Pell: How Colleges
Compete for Wealthy Students
and Leave the Low-Income
Behind, the increase in money
for higher-income students
comes primarily from an increase
in merit-aid, which is money
granted to students regardless of
their fnancial need. In 1995, state
universities provided merit-aid to
eight percent of undergraduates
and need-based aid to 13
percent, but now 18 percent of
undergraduates are granted merit-
aid and only 16 percent receive
need-based aid.
Te majority of University
scholarships are merit-based and
not based on students family
income, but Jess said this does
not necessarily mean students
fnancial needs are not considered
when it comes to aid and
scholarships.
Some scholarship donors
do include a fnancial-need
component, which does take
into consideration the students
family income and ability to
pay, she said. In other words,
when awarding scholarships, the
University adheres to the donors
criteria.
Jess added that the University
ofers the KU Pell Advantage
grant, which is determined both
by a familys ability to pay their
students expenses as well as the
students high school GPA and
test scores.
Te New America Foundation
study also found that lower-
income students are facing higher
net prices because of a strategy
called high tuition, high aid in
which universities greatly increase
tuition and ofer more fnancial
aid to low-income students at the
same time. However, the study
found that low-income students
at universities that take this
approach are facing net prices that
are twice as much as those at low-
tuition universities.
Senior Carson Levine pays for all
her expenses herself, but because
she is under the age of 25, she is
still considered a dependent and
does not receive as much fnancial
aid. She did not receive her usual
Pell Grant for her fnal semester.
Because of this, Levine says she
can empathize with the difculties
lower-income students face when
trying to pay for school.
It is frustrating, she said.
Teres a lot of hoops to jump
through and a lot of stuf you
have to do to get the aid. I mean,
I applied for fnancial aid my
freshman year, but they thought
my dad made too much money,
which I felt wasnt true at all, but
I didnt get it.
Garrett Fugete, a graduate
student from St. Louis, says
universities need to fnd a way
to get more aid to lower income
students, but also avoid punishing
those who earned scholarships.
I dont see anything wrong with
basing things on merit, Fugete
said. I mean if youre a good
student, I think people should
be able to be rewarded for that.
Maybe they should fnd a balance,
where if theres a person with good
grades and in need, they should
come frst, rather than a person
who does have merit but doesnt
really have that need.

Kate Meyer, assistant curator of Works on Paper at the Spencer, speaks about the 1 Kansas Farmer exhibition. The exhibition displays art about the Dust Bowl until Dec. 15.
Te Spencer Museum of Art is
exhibiting six posters designed
by students at the University. Te
exhibit, "1 Kansas Farmer," illus-
trates the scale of the Dust Bowl,
current issues and future chal-
lenges Kansas agriculture will
face. Te students applied design
concepts learned in class at the
University to create the exhibition.
Te Dust Bowl was a period of
severe drought and dust storms
during the 1930s and was the larg-
est agricultural disaster in Kansas
history. Te "1 Kansas Farmer"
exhibit illustrates the scale of the
Dust Bowl, as well as challenges
that will afect farmers in the fu-
ture. Te posters highlight the im-
portance of agriculture in Kansas.
Te exhibition is the result of
a collaboration between Patrick
Dooley, a professor of visual com-
munication at the University, and
Kate Meyer, assistant curator of
Works on Paper at the Spencer.
Te posters are meant to inform
in a way that is as engaging as pos-
sible, Meyer said. Te posters de-
pict issues such as water conserva-
tion, biofuels and climate change.
Meyers said that cooperation
among the scientifc and farming
communities is essential to solv-
ing these challenges. We have
discord, how do we move forward
when all of our parties arent on the
same page? Meyers questioned.
Te posters balance them-
selves between elements of de-
sign, science and art, accord-
ing to the Spencers website.
Te "1 Kansas Farmer" exhibi-
tion coincides with the Universi-
tys 2013 Common Book, Timothy
Egans Te Worst Hard Time. Te
1 Kansas Farmer exhibition will
be at the Spencer through Dec. 15.

CARSON LEVINE
Senior
From those who nurse hang-
overs well into the next day to
those who have a glass of wine
with dinner, students vary widely
in their drinking and drug habits.
A new research study published
in Alcoholism: Clinical and Ex-
perimental Research sheds some
new light on the matter and found
that it is the more intelligent stu-
dents who are trying alcohol and
drugs at an earlier age and using
them more frequently.
Part of intelligence is the curios-
ity component and experimenta-
tion, said Paula Fite, assistant pro-
fessor of clinical child psychology.
Intelligent students may start
experimenting with drugs and
alcohol because they are not chal-
lenged by their environment, said
sophomore Jordan Ryerson from
Blue Springs, Mo.
I had a couple friends in high
school who never had to study for
anything, so they had all this extra
time on their hands and chose to
do drugs or drink instead of actu-
ally preparing for classes, Ryerson
said.
Smarter kids may be better
equipped to get their hands on
drugs and alcohol.
Fite said that kids with high-
er verbal skills at younger ages
are associated with higher
socioeconomic status.
So they have more money to
buy the substances. So it might
not be actual ability, but the en-
vironmental factors that also play
into that, like money, Fite said.
And even though more intelli-
gent students may start drinking
at an earlier age, the study found
they are not more prone to addic-
tion.
You want to be careful when you
say things like more frequently
because its not to a point of addic-
tion, Fite said. Its less impulsive
using and more likely planned.
Part of it is, [they] are probably
better at making decisions.
Te research came as a surprise
to Mitchell Pruett, a junior from
Salina in the honors program.
I feel like most college students
drink, but it seems a smaller per-
centage of honors students drink
than the general population actu-
ally, Pruett said.
In fact, the realities at the Uni-
versity may not refect the re-
search fndings.
If we are looking at college stu-
dents, we are looking at a relatively
bright population, Fite said. We
are not looking at the whole spec-
trum of abilities so I think that its
probably hard to see too many dif-
ferences and changes in already a
pretty homogenous group.

Teachers have started to move
away from multiple choice exams
and towards alternative testing
methods, said Bruce Frey, Univer-
sity associate professor in psychol-
ogy and research in education and
the author of Modern Classroom
Assessment. In the past, most
tests were given in traditional pa-
per-and-pencil formats, but many
other methods have started to be-
come more popular among teach-
ers.
Frey said one reason for this shif
is that multiple choice tests dont
show how students can apply class-
room knowledge to an actual life
situation.
So many of the ways that we
test and assess students in class are
very artifcial, and are things that
we wouldnt see outside of a class-
room, Frey said. In real life, when
people are evaluated on their skills
or performance, its not going to be
on a multiple choice test.
Tis issue can be addressed with
authentic assessments, which is
one alternative method of testing
discussed in Freys book. While
there are many diferent defnitions
of authentic assessments, Frey said
that they essentially test the stu-
dents skills and abilities past basic
classroom knowledge.
Tis could be done in many dif-
ferent ways,
depending on
the subject
area. Students
could write an
essay, perform
a task, create a
project or com-
plete any other
a s s e s s me nt
that refects their ability level.
Frey said the problem with this
new test strategy is that it tends
to be very subjective and requires
the teacher to put a lot of thought
into fairly testing every individual
student. In addition, it also creates
a challenge for the teacher in-
structors must fgure out how to
best assign point values to non-tra-
ditional testing measures.
Because of this, a simple multiple
choice test with points awarded for
each correctly answered question
is ofen times chosen over perfor-
mance-based assessments in order
to objectively assign a grade for
each student. While the students
have less of a chance to show their
personal skills and abilities, multi-
ple choice tests are optimal for test-
ing a students basic knowledge and
grasp of a subject, said Frey.
Another concept that Frey cov-
ers in his book is the formative
assessment. With this type of as-
sessment, students are continually
evaluated on their knowledge level
and what areas they do and do not
understand. Tis evaluation might
come in the form of quizzes, dis-
cussions or the student personally
evaluating what they understand.
While these checks may not always
be valued toward the students fnal
grade in the class, they allow both
the teacher and the student to see
what concepts need to be clarifed.
"Tis idea of frequently giving
meaningful feedback during the
time that learning is forming is
well-established as efective in in-
creasing learning and test perfor-
mance, Frey said. "It's the only type
of assessment that's been shown to
increase learning."
Another one of the modern as-
sessment techniques that Frey
writes about in his book is the
"universal test design," which is the
idea to design assessments in a way
that allows each individual student
to complete them and perform
well, despite diversity.
Te ways we teach and assess
should be useful and valuable for
every single student, no matter if
they have a disability, regardless of
what culture they come from, or
what their characteristics are, Frey
said.
Frey adds that as teachers fnd
more ways to create these types of
universal assessments, more and
more students can complete them
without being treated diferently
from any other student.
However, instructors dont need
to choose between traditional test-
ing methods and newer strategies.
Lauren Dollar, a junior from Nixa,
Mo., said that a balance must ex-
ist between completing hands-on,
skill-based tasks and testing stu-
dent understanding with a tradi-
tional, paper-and-pencil method.
Teres no way to get around
multiple choice tests in order to
test the students knowledge on the
facts and theories that they learned
about, Dollar said. As a teacher,
in order to see where the student
is and how theyre progressing, you
need a comparison to see if theyre
progressing from where they were
at the beginning.
Dollar recently applied to the
School of Education and found
that through school observations,
she could make strong connections
between what she read about in her
textbooks and how to realistically
apply that knowledge when shes
interacting with students.
You have to have the real-world
experience, and you also have to
come back to the classroom and
learn why it works and how it
works, Dollar said.
New testing methods embrace student diversity

In real life, when people

are evaluated on their
skills or performance, its
not going to be on a multi-
ple choice test.
BRUCE FREY
University associate professor
When Natalie Hays was a fresh-
man, she was tempted, like most
students, by novelty food options
like slices of pizza smothered in
cream cheese and stufed chicken
cheddar wraps. As a result, she
gained the notorious Freshman
15.
She didnt think she would pack
on the pounds, but dorm food,
the stress of a new school, classes
and parties distracted her from a
healthy lifestyle. Afer one year at
the University, Hays decided to
return home to Overland Park to
continue school at Johnson Coun-
ty Community College. To get
back on track, she hit the gym and
planned a disciplined diet.
Goals dont happen in a blink
of an eye, you need to have the pa-
tience and the confdence knowing
that you CAN DO IT!!!! Hays
wrote as her Facebook status on
Sept. 13.
Now a junior at JCCC, Hays has
managed to shed over 20 pounds,
lose six percent of her body fat and
regain her confdence. She is work-
ing to motivate other ladies to not
give up on their bodies.
We need to be comfortable in
our own skin, she said.
In addition, Hays entered HER-
LIFE Magazines ftness compe-
tition earlier this month for the
chance to be on the cover of the
January issue. Not only is the
competition motivation to work
out, but the magazine strives to
empower women in all aspects of
their lives.
Currently, the magazines Face-
book page displays photos of ap-
proximately 40 women, includ-
ing Hays, who are competing for
twelve spots to train with diferent
Title Boxing Clubs. Te contes-
tants will be chosen next month
based on the highest number of
photo likes. Afer eight weeks of
training, the woman who loses the
most body fat will be the featured
cover girl.
Why not enter if you have a
good chance of winning? said
Hays. But even if I dont win, its
OK.
So far, the number of likes on the
photos ranges from nine to 654,
and Hays lies in between at 156.
Voting ends Oct. 1.
[A magazine competition] is in-
teresting because its just a diferent
way of showing others how hard
youve worked and how youre
happy with yourself, said Maken-
zie Koehn, a sophomore studying
human biology. Its wanting to
display that success so that others
might be encouraged to take the
same step in a positive direction.
As if maintaining a strict ft-
ness schedule doesnt keep her
busy enough, Hays will grace the
stage as a Miss Kansas USA pag-
eant contestant in December. As
a proud Jayhawk, her title is Miss
Rock Chalk USA.
Hays has been competing in pag-
eants since 2004 but realized she
needed to make changes when she
compared her Miss Kansas Teen
USA pageant pictures from her se-
nior year in high school to those
taken her freshman year at Kan-
sas in 2011.
Afer checking out a few dif-
ferent ftness programs, she took
a new approach in March and
began working with Derek Mc-
Quinn, an independent trainer
at Excel Wellness Studio in Over-
land Park.
We train fve hours a week but
ultimately, shes the one who puts
in all the work, said McQuinn.
McQuinn said he hopes she
achieves her goals, but believes
that whether she wins competi-
tions or not, her true life story
will help other girls understand
that there are healthy ways to lose
weight.
Im just myself, Hays said. I
dont want to be somebody else.
Even though she is content with
her decision to move home, Hays
said she misses the University. A
people person at heart, Hays will
apply to Kamsas nursing program
afer JCCC to further achieve her
goal to help other people.
Apparently, if you work out the
night before a test or exam, it helps
you relax, Hays said. Ill have to
do some more research about that.

Lawrence Public
Library celebrates
banned books
The Lawrence Public Library is en-
couraging Douglas County residents to
read books that have been banned or
challenged by people or organizations.
Jeni Daley, Lawrence Public Library
media coordinator, said the library is
participating with the American Library
Associations national Banned Book
Week from Sept. 22 to Sept. 28.
The library called for residents to
send in artwork depicting a banned
book. The artwork has the chance to be
featured in the Lawrence Arts Center
and turned into trading cards. Daley
said the library received 99 art sub-
missions, which was a large increase
from last years 35 submissions.
We encourage people to come in
and check out a banned book and grab
their trading cards, Daley said.
Daley said most public libraries
in the country participate with the
national book week, and the purpose
is to celebrate intellectual freedom.
The books that are featured were either
banned by institutions or challenged by
people or groups.
They are just trying to spread aware-
ness that people should choose what
they want to read instead of being
censored, said Daley of the American
Library Association.
Residents can get copies of the
trading cards at the Lawrence Public
Library, 700 New Hampshire St., or
the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New
Hampshire St., until Saturday.

re-entry helping and advising
these men on how to assimilate
into society again afer typically
lengthy prison sentences, some-
times spanning entire adult lives.
Anyone who knows my dad
would not be surprised that he
would be perfect for a position
like this. He is a practitioner
of tough love, something I can
attest to frsthand as the primary
source of his practice.
I thought a lot about that visit.
As a kid growing up in the JoCo
bubble, my life was too ofen
lacking the kind of enriching
exposure I received that day. I
realized that all of the men I met
came from drastically diferent
backgrounds than myself, and
they had grown up facing adver-
sity that I will never understand.
Te men I met that day never
had the opportunities I have
been granted in my life. Tey
could not skate through high
school with a complete disregard
for responsibility or their own
privilege and then just waltz into
college.
I also realized that nearly every
single one of the men I met that
day was black.
Over the summer, the Supreme
Court made rulings on some
landmark cases. As most people
know, there was a victory for
equality, however other verdicts
were not quite as progressive.
Te Voting Rights Act was,
in essence, repealed. Tis act
allowed the Federal Government
to regulate voting standards in
certain southern states to ensure
that civil voting rights were up-
held in the historically problem-
atic region.
Afrmative Action also went
to the Supreme Court in June.
In that case, the Supreme Court
upheld a ruling of a federal
appellate-level court, which ruled
in favor of scaling back afrma-
tive action.
Both of these laws were initially
put in place to protect rights that
had been systematically violated
and additionally promote the
well-being and equal opportunity
for any people that had been
oppressed by the jurisdiction of
past governments. Tese laws
were meant to foster an assimi-
lated and diverse community that
would not discriminate. Tey
were also intended to level the
playing feld until equality was
actually realized and regulations
were no longer necessary.
So the message delivered by
the majority opinion in these
two cases is clear the Court is
saying that we have achieved a
level playing feld and measures
such as these are outdated and
unnecessary.
Black males represent six
percent of the population of the
United States, but 40 percent of
incarcerated persons. Tirty per-
cent of black men face incarcer-
ation in their lifetime, and some
studies have shown that more
black men are in prison than are
enrolled in college.
It would take nothing further
than this irrefutable empirical
evidence to objectively conclude
that the playing feld is far from
level. Tis simply could not
happen in a society where equal
opportunity existed.
Sure, you could say that we just
encountered a major recession
and that maybe this isnt the most
convenient time to think about
equality. But as our economy
recovers and the numbers
indicate we are further along the
road to recovery than any cable
news network will admit then
this is something that has to be
addressed. On top of minority
groups in the population that his-
torically have been systematically
oppressed and disadvantaged,
upward mobility is at an all-time
low for Americans in general.
Te American dream cannot
be reimagined by maintaining
the status quo. Generational
malice is not undone quickly;
halted upward mobility and an
ever-increasing wealth gap serve
to exacerbate this issue and only
prolongs the resolution and
reverses the progress we have
already made.

eware the socialist water.
Tats the message that
many online commenters
are screaming as they circle the
rounds of innocently uncontro-
versial articles that have littered
the web recently. Tese articles all
have one, seemingly straightfor-
ward topic in common: Michelle
Obamas new initiative called
Drink Up.
For those who dont know, the
First Lady of the United States
traditionally chooses some sort of
project to work on while her hus-
band is in ofce. Granted its the
President who gets elected, not
the spouse, so its understandable
that people are wary of the First
Lady overstepping her assigned
duty. Te thing is, theres histor-
ically been some very serious,
controversial topics focused on
by the First Lady, such as Eleanor
Roosevelts pursuit of equality for
African American citizens during
a time of continued segregation
and Hillary Clintons health
care initiative that riled so many
against her. Issues like these were
very brave, but potentially damag-
ing to both of these womens (and
their husbands) political careers.
So when Michelle Obama chose
a project to fght childhood
obesity and get America healthier,
it seemed like a walk in the park.
I mean, what can be controversial
about recognizing the well-docu-
mented problem of obesity in this
country and trying to counteract
it in positive ways like exercise
and good eating?
Apparently, a lot.
Vicious comments once aimed
at President Obama were turned
to Michelle Obama, including
such things as her initiative being
a socialist movement and one
to control and micromanage the
lives of American citizens. No
matter what Michelle Obama
promoted as part of her campaign
for health, it was met with skep-
ticism at best and downright fury
at worst. Which might be why a
few people have quietly suggested
that Michelle Obama and her
team were testing the dedication
of the Obama-haters when they
came out with their new initiative:
Drink Up a program suggest-
ing Americans drink more water.
Within days of this newly
announced campaign, Politico
reported on a multitude of experts
who aimed to debunk her claims.
Suddenly there were comments
everywhere that Obama was try-
ing to control every aspect of our
lives because she suggested that
we drink water. Because I mean,
really, HOW DARE SHE. All
across the web people are mutter-
ing in secluded chartrooms about
Obama trying to force socialism
on us all through her pushing of
that horrifc, might-not-be-good-
for-you water on us.
While I do think Obama was
serious about her wish for us to
drink more water, there is a part
of me that wonders if her team
was testing the conservative outli-
ers to see if they would fnd a way
to disagree with and despise every
project she proposed. If that was
their intention, I think they got
their answer.
But, you know, I dont think
theyve gone far enough. I mean
sure, this sector of society can
start boycotting water because
its become part of a socialist
agenda, but they were probably
already doing that anyway (no
one needs water when you have
soda, right?). So since Obama still
has a couple of years lef as First
Lady, I thought Id give her a few
ideas to really test the boundaries
of the Obama-hate.
1) Breathe More Air Campaign
Studies show that taking more
breaths every day can help in-
crease your heart rate and air out
your lungs. Taking proper breaths
in fresh, outside air is ideal. (Lets
see them try to boycott that one,
shall we, Mrs. Obama?)
2) Do Whatever You Want Ini-
tiative Since half of the trouble
seems to come from Obama tell-
ing Americans what to do (even
if its telling through suggestions),
this new initiative will strip away
all of those arguments. It gives
full power back to the people.
And how, really, do you get angry
about this one? Start doing what
someone else tells you to because
that way you arent listening to
what the First Lady suggested?
3) Tink More, Tink Better
Plan You know, on second
thought this one doesnt apply. Im
pretty sure thinking was boycot-
ted the moment people started
speaking out against drinking
water.

ets abolish Dollar Night.
Now before you begin
hating me, I have a good
reason to back this. Anyone
whos lived in close proximity to
others can recall the noise level
when people start stumbling
back any given Wednesday. From
the Student Ghetto to Daisy
Hill, everyone can hear students
return without their IDs, sense of
direction and sobriety. Im not a
fun-sucker or a teetotaler. How-
ever, I stand behind higher drink
prices because they can mitigate
unfavorable behavior. Studies
show higher drink prices can lead
to less risky sexual behavior, less
binge drinking and lower STD
rates. I think a decrease in STDs
is a justifable reason to raise
drink prices.
In her book, Dollars and Sex,
economist Marina Adshade
chronicles the journey in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, to lower alcohol-re-
lated rowdiness and fghting by
raising drink prices. Te city
mandated a price foor on drinks,
requiring establishments to set
prices above the market equi-
librium. Economic fndings also
proposed the laws reduced risky
sexual behavior, as evidenced
by lower STD rates. Looking at
state-by-state diferences in taxes
on alcohol, Harrell Chesson, Paul
Harrison and William Kassler
found a $1 increase in liquor tax
reduces gonorrhea rates by two
percent, and a tax of just 20 cents
per six-pack reduces gonorrhea
rates by nine percent and syphilis
rates by 33 percent.
But just so Im not bewailing us
and our plight too much, theres a
place that could use higher drink
prices much more than Larryville
their STD rates are through
the roof. Lubbock, Texas: Home
of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. A
high school friend of mine ran
track for Kansas State. She was in
Lubbock for a meet and said the
student coupon booklet there had
vouchers for discounted and free
herpes tests. Lubbock has some of
the highest STD rates among col-
lege towns, and is even rumored
to have its own strain of herpes,
quaintly called Raider Rash.
Tey could defnitely beneft from
heightened alcohol prices.
Tough I dont think Dol-
lar Night will be disappearing
anytime soon, at least placing
some kind of limit would be
adequate. Excessive drinking
leads to deplorable decisions,
poor judgment and calamitous
consequences. Need I remind
you all were nearing the one
year anniversary of the Boom
Boom Room Couple? (Not that
I expect them to still be together
or anything.) Cheap drinks open
the threshold to binge drinking,
risky choices regarding sex and
higher STD rates. Lastly, people
who return from Dollar Night
think its acceptable to screech,
IM SOOOO TRASHEDDD!!!
while others are trying to sleep,
study or ignore the fact they have
no friends.
You say people would just
pre-game (more) if drink prices
increased in bars? Well maybe
prices in liquor stores should be
raised as well. History proves al-
cohol is a luxury good, so people
will always indulge in it. Im just
suggesting they indulge in mod-
eration and not get completely
smashed to the point where
others have to clean up afer their
bodily functions.
Tats just my take. I know it
will be unpopular among the stu-
dent body. If Dollar Night never
happened again, I cant say Id
be disappointed, only surprised.
So lets raise drink prices before
a new strain called the Hawk
Herp comes into existence.

LET IT BE
LOS ANGELES Paul Mc-
Cartney doesn't really need
the publicity, but when he
desires it he sure can make a
dent. On Monday he and his
band shut down a stretch of
Hollywood Boulevard to per-
form a handful of songs for a
lucky few thousand as part of
"Jimmy Kimmel Live." Many
in the crowd had been waiting
much of the day for a chance to
catch the ex-Beatle in action.
McCartney was push-
ing his forthcoming album
"New" by doing a few songs
for TV, but stuck around
for a set that included old-
er songs fans wanted to hear.
His list was full of big-ticket
songs. He and his touring band
tore through Beatles classics
"Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Back
in the USSR," "Magical Mystery
Tour," "Birthday," "Lady Ma-
donna" and more, and peppered
in solo and Wings songs such
as "Band on the Run," "Another
Day," "Jet" and three new works,
including the excellent title track.
Ever gracious and warm, Mc-
Cartney made every efort to
acknowledge the masses sur-
rounding him. He peered up at
the nearby the Dolby Teatre,
where on a balcony a dozen fans
watched, and waved dramatically.
Residents of upper-level apart-
ments sat in windowsills and
shot photos. Others rubber-
necked from behind fences.
Afer performing a confdent
version of one of his most en-
during works, "Let It Be," Mc-
Cartney stood from the grand
piano and looked over a fence
to wave at fans unable to see.
Highlights? Well, depending
on your mood any one of them
could have delivered a rush. "Ju-
nior's Farm," which he played
early, set the tone, as did his
ode to day-to-day life, "Another
Day." Te Beatles tracks rolled
joyously, the product of a mu-
sician who long ago embraced
his legacy and now occupies it
with the full force of his talent.
"Birthday" was particularly
massive and surprising, and hit
like a hammer, as did "Day Trip-
per." But, then, they all did. Even
"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," which
I consider to be one of the Beat-
les' worst songs, sprang with joy.
On Tuesday, Kimmel will
host another superstar, Jus-
tin Timberlake, on the same
Hollywood Boulevard stage.

JUSTICE
LOS ANGELES A lawyer for
Michael Jackson's family on con-
cert promoter AEG Live LLC and
Jackson's doctor as mercenaries
who sacrifced the pop star's life in
a quest to boost their own fortunes.
Attorney Brian Panish made the
claims while delivering his clos-
ing argument in the long-running
negligence case, asking jurors: "Do
people do things they shouldn't do
for money? People do it every day."
A $150,000-a-month contract
to care for Jackson was a lifeline
to help Dr. Conrad Murray climb
out of his fnancial troubles, Pa-
nish told jurors, saying the doctor
was $500,000 in debt and about
to lose his home.
AEG Live, mean-
while, had only one
interest launch-
ing a world tour for
the King of Pop that
would yield untold
millions in prof-
its, the lawyer said.
Te lawsuit fled
by Katherine
Jackson, the sing-
er's mother, accuses AEG Live
of negligence in hiring Murray.
Panish proposed that jurors
award $290 million to Katherine
Jackson and the singer's children
for non-economic damages such
as the loss of love and comfort.
He gave no specifc fgure for
possible economic damages, urg-
ing jurors to make their own de-
cision while reminding them that
expert witnesses had said Michael
Jackson could have earned more
than $1 billion had he lived longer.
Panish also spoke of the an-
guish of Prince, Paris and
Blanket Jackson over the loss of
their father and was warned by
the judge that jurors should not
base their verdict on sympathy.
"We're not looking for sympathy,"
Panish said. "We're looking for
justice, not partial
but complete justice."
He then showed nearly an hour
of videos produced for the tri-
al that included heart-wrench-
ing home movies that featured
his songs and images of his chil-
dren when they were babies.
However, the focus of his ar-
gument was on the relation-
ship between AEG and Murray.
Panish told a packed courtroom
that Murray's fnancial woes were
unknown to AEG Live when Jack-
son proposed
the cardiol-
ogist as his
private physi-
cian because
the company
did not re-
search Mur-
ray's situation.
He also
said Mur-
ray's willing-
ness to close his medical ofc-
es to take the job could have
raised a red fag if AEG Live had
investigated the cardiologist.
"Obviously, he was incompetent
and unft," Panish said. "He caused
the death of Michael Jackson."
Murray was convicted in 2011
of involuntary manslaughter afer
giving Jackson an overdose of the
anesthetic propofol as he tried to
sleep during preparations for his
"Tis Is It" concerts in London.
Attorneys for AEG will present
their closing argument Wednesday.
Te company has claimed that
Jackson insisted that Murray
treat him because the doctor was
giving him propofol as a sleep
aid. Te drug is not meant to be
used outside operating rooms.
AEG Live drafed a contract
for Murray's services, accord-
ing to testimony, but it was only
signed by Murray. Still, Pa-
nish said, the contract was val-
id because it was the result of
oral negotiations with Murray.
Panish urged jurors to act as the
conscience of the community and
award damages to Jackson's fam-
ily. Jackson's mother, Katherine,
her daughter Rebbie and neph-
ews Taj and TJ, sat in a front row
as Panish delivered his remarks.
Te trial had been moved to a
larger courtroom to accommo-
date media, spectators, lawyers
and Jackson fans. A delegation
of justice ofcials from Tailand
also observed from the gallery.
Te afernoon session immersed
jurors in the life of Jackson with
another video tracing his life
from humble beginnings in Gary,
Ind., to the heights of fame, with
scenes of performances world-
wide in vast arenas. Much of the
footage was from his early career.
"Tat is the best evidence that
Michael Jackson would have sold
tickets," Panish said about the
earning power of the pop star.
Te video ended with the song,
"Gone Too Soon" and Jack-
son's voice saying, "I love you."
If jurors fnd that damages should
be assessed, the judge said they
must not consider such issues as
the wealth of both sides or the grief
endured by the Jackson family.
A unanimous verdict is
not required. Only nine of
the 12 jurors must agree.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska A
28-year-old British adventurer
became the frst woman to row
solo from Japan to Alaska, ar-
riving late Monday at a small
town in the Aleutian Islands afer
150 days and 3,750 miles at sea.
I have had some of the most in-
tense and memorable months of
my life out on the Pacifc, it has
been brilliant and brutal at the same
time, Sarah Outen said in a state-
ment. And it has been a privilege.
Outen celebrated with a bottle of
champagne in Adak, Alaska, and
greeted community members and
supporters, her frst human contact
in nearly fve months, as frst report-
ed by the Anchorage Daily News.
I have pushed myself to my ab-
solute limits both physically and
mentally to make land here in
Alaska, and [my] body and mind
are now exhausted, she said.
She lef Choshi, Japan, on
April 27. It is part of her plan
for a global trek by an ocean
rowing shell, kayak and bike.
On Monday afernoon Out-
en came within a half mile of
the Alaska shore before winds
and currents started pushing her
onto the rocks. Her support team
decided it was safer to tow her
into Adaks small boat harbor.
On the row, she battled dangerous
seas, and her boat, Happy Socks,
capsized fve times. She also fought
the psychological battle of being
alone. In the last few days, she al-
most hit a cargo ship afer her radar
failed, and battled cooling tem-
peratures and increasing darkness.
Outen also tweeted about whiteout
fog and exhaustion-induced halluci-
nations in the fnal, treacherous miles
to Adak, the newspaper reported.
But for Outen, who has a biolo-
gy degree from Oxford University,
seeing wildlife like albatross and
whales made up for all the uncom-
fortable moments. According to
the statement, the highlight was
a shark circling her as she rowed.
Along the way, she also got en-
gaged to her longtime girlfriend
back home during a satellite phone
call from the middle of the ocean.
She initially wanted to row
from Japan to Canada, but
the punishing weather caused
a course change to Alaska.
Next spring, she plans to return
to Adak with a teammate, Justin
Curgenven, to continue the kay-
ak trip to mainland Alaska. She
will then bike across Canada and
North America before attempt-
ing a solo row across the Atlantic
Ocean to the United Kingdom.
Outens frst attempt at the crossing
ended in 2012 when she and anoth-
er ocean rower had to be rescued
near Japan afer their boats were
badly damaged in a tropical storm.
Before that, Outen became
the youngest person and the
frst woman to row alone across
the Indian Ocean in 2009, go-
ing from Australia to Mauritius.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Penn State
will gradually get back football
scholarships taken away over the
Jerry Sandusky child molestation
scandal, the NCAA announced
Tuesday, crediting the university
for making signifcant improve-
ments to its athletics programs.
Five scholarships will be restored
next year and 15 more will be phased
in until the school reaches the limit
of 85 in 2016-17, a season earlier
than the school had agreed to, col-
lege sports governing body said.
Te NCAA said the unanimous
decision by its executive committee
was based on the recommendation
of former U.S. Sen. George Mitch-
ell, who has been serving as Penn
States athletics integrity monitor.
Tis action provides an oppor-
tunity to recognize Penn States
signifcant momentum, while also
providing additional opportu-
nities for student-athletes, said
Wake Forest University presi-
dent Nathan Hatch, chair of the
NCAAs Division I board of direc-
tors, which endorsed the decision.
Te penalties came amid heavy
criticism of university leaders re-
sponse to complaints about San-
dusky. Penn State and the NCAA
agreed to the penalties by entering
into a consent decree more than
a year ago, shortly afer Sandusky
was convicted of 45 counts of
sexual abuse. Tey also require the
school to pay a $60 million fne and
serve a four-year ban on postseason
play. Te NCAA also eliminated
112 wins by the football program.
Penn State president Rodney
Erickson called the restoration
of scholarships particularly wel-
come news for student-athletes
who want to attend Penn State.
As we promised throughout
this process, we are committed to
improving all our policies, proce-
dures and actions, Erickson said.
Te NCAA said it also may re-
duce the postseason play ban, de-
pending on the universitys future
progress. Mitchell
said it was prema-
ture to say which
other sanctions
might be changed.
Tis was a pos-
itive response to
positive action,
and as to the fu-
ture, well have
to make judg-
ments, Mitchell
told reporters in
a conference call. He said the de-
cision was particularly warrant-
ed by the actions of Erickson and
other university leaders in the
face of considerable opposition
within the Penn State community.
Over time, their actions led to
a circumstance where it became
clear to me that their response
was positive in the face of dif-
cult circumstances, Mitchell said.
Mitchell said he recommended the
restoration of scholarships, but the
specifc elements were decided by
the NCAA and Big Ten Conference.
It is the mechanism most directly
targeted to students, student-ath-
letes, Mitchell said. I felt it was an ap-
propriate place to provide the relief.
Earlier this month, Mitchell is-
sued a report on the frst year of his
service as monitor, crediting Penn
State for notable progress that in-
cluded implementation of 119 rec-
ommendations made last summer
by former FBI director Louis Freeh,
who di-
rected the
schools in-
vestigation
into the
s c a n d a l .
Te fam-
ily of for-
mer coach
Joe Paterno
issued a
statement
calling the
decision welcome news. Paterno
died from lung cancer in January
2012, weeks afer the arrest of San-
dusky on abuse charges and two
administrators on allegations of a
criminal cover-up. A lawsuit by his
surviving family members and oth-
ers against the NCAA is pending
in county court near State College.

ATLANTA Andrelton
Simmons' single to the gap in
right-center drove in Justin Up-
ton with two outs in the ninth
inning to give the Atlanta Braves
a 3-2 win over the Milwau-
kee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Upton led of the ninth by hit-
ting the frst pitch from Donovan
Hand (0-5) for a single to lef.
Freddie Freeman hit a fy ball to
deep center for the frst out be-
fore Evan Gattis, who had two
hits, hit a grounder that Scooter
Gennett bobbled behind sec-
ond base for an infeld hit, leav-
ing runners at frst and second.
Te ofcial scorer origi-
nally ruled Gennett's play
an error before chang-
ing the call afer the game.
Brian McCann popped out
to third base for the second
out before Simmons' frst hit
of the night ended the game.
Craig Kimbrel (4-3), who leads
the majors with 49 saves, struck
out the side in the ninth. He
has 96 strikeouts in 65 innings.
Shortstop Jef Bianchi hit
his frst homer of the sea-
son in the ffh for Milwaukee.
Brewers rookie Tyler Torn-
burg set a career high with eight
strikeouts while giving up two
runs, seven hits and one walk in
seven innings. Tornburg, 24,
has allowed no more than two
runs in any of his seven starts.
Freddy Garcia allowed two runs,
six hits and one walk in six 2-3
innings for Atlanta. Garcia, 36,
had seven strikeouts to set a sea-
son high in a combined 13 starts
with Baltimore and the Braves.
Jonathan Lucroy gave Milwau-
kee a 1-0 lead in the frst when his
single drove in Norichika Aoki,
who doubled. Lucroy leads the
majors with 76 RBIs as a catcher.
He has driven in 82 runs overall.
Tornburg was helped by dou-
ble plays in the second and third
innings before giving up a run in
the fourth. With two outs, Free-
man singled and scored on a dou-
ble to the base of the wall in center
feld by Gattis, who was thrown
out trying to advance to third.

CINCINNATI Daniel Murphy
hit a three-run homer of Mike
Leake, whose long streak of score-
less innings got shattered early, and
the New York Mets beat Cincin-
nati 4-2 on Tuesday night, a cost-
ly setback to the Reds' hopes of a
second straight NL Central title.
Te Reds and Pittsburgh Pi-
rates clinched playof spots on
Monday night, but hope to chase
down the frst-place St. Lou-
is Cardinals with closing surges.
Leake's one bad inning made that
much less likely for the Reds, who
opened the day tied with Pitts-
burgh, two games behind St. Louis.
Leake (14-7) gave up four runs
and eight hits in only one 2-3 in-
nings, matching the shortest start
of his career. Wilfredo Tovar end-
ed his scoreless innings streak at
21 2-3 with an RBI single, and
Murphy's homer gave lef-hander
Jon Niese (8-8) the big lead.
Niese kept lefies Joey Votto and
Jay Bruce in check again, holding
them to a combined 0 for 6 with
four strikeouts. Niese allowed
two runs and eight hits in sev-
en innings. Vic Black faced three
batters in the ninth, getting his
frst career save on his second try.
Eric Young Jr. had a sin-
gle and a double, scored a run
and stole his 42nd base for the
Mets, who have won eight of 12.
It was a stunning outing for Leake,
who has been the Reds' most efec-
tive starter lately. Te right-hander
allowed a total of two runs while
winning his last three starts and
getting his career-high 14th win.
Leake gave up two singles in the
frst inning before escaping. Mike
Baxter led of the second with a
double and scored on Tovar's single.
Te right-hander got an assist
when Bruce threw Tovar out at
the plate as he tried to score from
second base on Niese's single to
right feld, but it wasn't enough.
Murphy's three-run homer on
the 10th pitch of his at-bat made
it 4-0 with two outs. When Da-
vid Wright followed with a single
the Mets' eighth hit manag-
er Dusty Baker made the change.
Niese also got of to a rough start,
giving up singles to Shin-Soo Choo
and Brandon Phillips on his frst
two pitches of the game. He got
out of that threat with the help of
center felder Juan Lagares, who
nailed Choo at the plate as he tried
to score on Ryan Ludwick's single.
Todd Frazier doubled
in the second and came
around on two groundouts.
Choo tripled Lagares charged
the ball and missed it and scored
when Votto grounded into a dou-
ble play in the ffh, cutting it to
4-2. Votto is 2 for 15 in his career
against Niese with seven strikeouts.
Bruce is 2 for 13 with six strikeouts.

Miami Marlins Justin Ruggiano hits a single in the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies, Tuesday, Sept. 24, in Miami.
CLEVELAND Pinch-hit-
ter Jason Giambi belted a two-
run homer with two outs in the
ninth inning to give Cleveland a
stunning 5-4 win over the Chica-
go White Sox on Tuesday night,
keeping the Indians up with the
lead pack in the AL wild-card race.
Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from
Addison Reed (5-4) deep into the
lower deck in right feld to prevent
a potentially devastating loss for
the Indians, who haven't been to
the postseason since 2007. Giam-
bi's heart-pounding shot bailed
out controversial closer Chris Pe-
rez, who gave up two homers in the
top of the ninth and nearly blew
a game Cleveland had to have.
As he rounded third base,
the 42-year-old Giambi slowed
down before being engulfed
at the plate by his teammates
as the Indians celebrated their
13th straight win over Chicago.
Bryan Shaw (6-3) came in afer
Perez had nearly given away a game
the Indians couldn't aford to lose.
Giambi has been a steadying
force all season for the Indians
in the clubhouse, and the un-
questioned Drama King on it.
Tis was his 10th career walk-
of homer, and his second pinch-
hit, walk-of this season. On July
29, he became the oldest player
to hit a walk-of homer, break-
ing a mark previously held by
Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Now,
Giambi has become the Indi-
ans' elder statesman of swat.
In the top of the ninth, Pe-
rez, who has walked a tightrope
on and of the feld all season,
had to be pulled by Indians
manager Terry Francona afer
failing to close out a 3-2 lead.
Cleveland came in hold-
ing the second AL wild-card
spot, one game ahead of Tex-
as and one behind Tampa
Bay. And with fve games lef,
any loss can be devastating.
On this night, Giam-
bi saved Perez, the Indians
and maybe their season.
With the Indians leading 3-2,
Perez gave up a homer to Dayan
Viciedo, a shot into the right-
feld seats that drew a groan from
Cleveland fans the moment it lef
his bat. Perez struck out the next
two hitters, but Alejandro De Aza
connected on his next pitch, driv-
ing it over the wall in right-center.
Perez stalked around the mound
with his head down before giv-
ing up a single to Alexei Ramirez.
Tat brought out Francona to a
loud ovation and Perez, who has
been a lightning rod of debate
over the past two seasons, was
booed loudly as he lef the feld.
Te Indians had taken a 3-2 lead
in the seventh on All-Star Jason
Kipnis' two-out RBI single and
Michael Brantley's leadof homer.
With the Indians trailing by a run,
and a scoreboard-watching crowd
of 21,083 inside chilly Progressive
Field getting nervous, Brantley
tied it 2-2 with his 10th homer.
Brantley pulled the frst pitch
from Santiago into the right-
feld seats, making him 13
of 29 (.448) with two hom-
ers and seven RBIs during an
eight-game hitting streak.
Mike Aviles followed with a sin-
gle and Michael Bourn sacrifced
before White Sox manager Rob-
in Ventura pulled starter Hector
Santiago. Nick Swisher's fy ball
to deep center sent Aviles to third
and Kipnis, named to his frst All-
Star squad earlier this season, de-
livered his clutch hit, punctuating
the single by fipping his bat in
the direction of Chicago's dugout.
Chicago had taken a 2-1 lead
in the seventh on De Aza's RBI
single of Cody Allen, who in-
herited a two-on, one-out jam
from starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Cleveland's starter, who came
in with a 1.77 ERA in the sec-
ond half, gave up a one-out sin-
gle to Gordon Beckham before
walking No. 9 hitter Josh Pheg-
ley. Francona came out and took
the ball from Jimenez, who re-
ceived a standing ovation as he
lef the feld. He allowed two runs
and fve hits in 6 1-3 innings.
Jimenez was in signifcant
trouble in the fourth, when the
White Sox tied it 1-1 on Avisa-
il Garcia's sacrifce fy. Chicago
threatened to score more when
Viciedo doubled with two outs,
sending Paul Konerko to third.
But with two runners in scor-
ing position, Jimenez retired
Beckham on an easy grounder.
Jimenez dodged another jam in
the sixth. Conor Gillaspie led of
with a double, but Jimenez retired
Konerko on a grounder, struck
Adam Dunn for the third time
and got Garcia to bounce out.
Brantley's RBI bloop-
er to center gave the Indi-
ans a 1-0 lead in the second.
MIAMI Without as much
as a run-scoring hit, the Phila-
delphia Phillies put up enough
ofense to send the Miami
Marlins to a milestone loss.
Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen
drove in runs in the frst inning,
and the Phillies beat Miami 2-1 on
Tuesday night to hand the Mar-
lins their 100th loss of the season.
Ruf drew a bases-loaded walk,
Frandsen followed with an RBI
groundout and that was all the of-
fense that the Phillies would need.
Te Phillies are now 6-47
this season when scoring two
runs or less, and two of those
wins are against the Marlins.
"It's more fun when we win,"
Phillies starter Zach Miner said.
Michael Stutes (3-1) got the
win by working a scoreless ffh
inning in relief, and Jonathan
Papelbon pitched the ninth for
his 29th save in 36 chances.
It's the second triple-digit-loss
season in Marlins history, join-
ing the 108-defeat year in 1998.
Mike Redmond, the frst-year
Marlins manager, was a rookie on
that team, playing in 37 games.
"I don't think we're going to
lose 100 games next year," Mar-
lins lef felder Christian Yelich
said. "No one thinks that way."
Marlins starter Henderson Al-
varez (4-6) allowed fve hits and
struck out fve in seven innings.
Justin Ruggiano had two hits for
Miami, one of them an RBI double
where he was thrown out at third.
It was the 44th time this sea-
son the Marlins (58-100) have
scored less than two runs.
Tey're 2-42 in those games.
"I was trying to come up with
something clever to say, when you
lose your 100th game of the season,"
Redmond said. "All I could come up
with is, at least it was by one run."
Alvarez gave up a one-out dou-
ble to Jimmy Rollins in the frst,
then walked the next three batters
Chase Utley, Domonic Brown
and fnally Ruf, the last two of
those free passes coming on 3-2
pitches, and the one to Ruf allow-
ing Rollins to score. Frandsen's
ground ball brought in Utley, and
Alvarez got another grounder
to escape without more trouble.
Te Marlins answered in the
second with a run of Miner. Gi-
ancarlo Stanton singled to start the
inning, and scored on Ruggiano's
double to lef-center. But the relay
from Brown to Rollins to Fred-
dy Galvis caught Ruggiano trying
to get to third, and the potential
for a bigger inning ended there.
"Tat was big at the time," Phillies
manager Ryne Sandberg said. "A
runner would have been in scor-
ing position, that came in handy.
Jimmy got the throw right down
there on the bag. Good alert play."

Aldrich signs with
New York Knicks
Cole Aldrich, a member of Kansas
2008 National Championship, has
found a new home in the NBA.
The New York Knicks announced
the signing of Aldrich, a 6-foot-11-
inch, 245 lbs., center late Tuesday
afternoon.
Aldrich was selected 11th overall
in the 2010 NBA Draft by New
Orleans but saw his rights traded to
Oklahoma City soon thereafter and
has spent time in Houston and, most
recently, in Sacramento. Coming off
the bench Aldrich has averaged two
points and 2.3 rebounds while seeing
about eight minutes per game.
During his three years at the
University of Kansas, Aldrich was a
two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of
the Year, in 2009 and 2010, and an
All-American Honorable Mention, in
2009, while averaging 9.6 points,
7.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per
games.

A
t the end of the 2013 baseball
season, one of the all-time greats is
hanging up his spikes for good: Te
Sandman, Mariano Rivera.
As a lifelong fan of Mos crosstown rival,
the New York Mets, I have seen Riveras
dominance frsthand. Rivera has been
an ambassador of class since the day he
stepped on the mound. No one is more
professional than this long time Yankees
closer.
Not only is Mariano the all-time saves
leader with 651, but he also has a career
ERA of 2.30. He is a 13-time all-star and a
5-time World Series champion with a .70
career postseason ERA and 42 postseason
saves (both MLB records). Te man is a
winner. He gets the job done. Tere is no
one else in the history of baseball that I
would count on to get three outs more than
the Sandman. He has evoked fear in hitters
for 19 long years. When the Yanks are win-
ning in the ninth inning and you hear the
beginning of Metallicas Enter Sandman,
its almost certain that the game is over.
Te crazy thing about Rivera is that
hes experienced abundant success in his
career with only one pitch: the cutter. Even
though the cutter has been around since
the 50s, Mo has truly perfected it and made
it famous. Rivera has broken hundreds of
bats in his career from the inward breaking
movement of his cutter. Lefies see it as a
fastball out of his hand until it cuts in and
down on them at the last second. Every hit-
ter knows exactly whats coming, and afer
19 years, they still cant handle it.
No one player has ever had an impact
on the league the way Mariano has. He is
the last Major League Baseball player that
will ever wear the number 42. When the
number was retired league-wide for Jackie
Robinson, Mo was allowed to keep it. My
question is, if Robinson had worn a difer-
ent number during his time in the Majors,
would we be retiring number 42 at the end
of this season for another reason?
Rivera is on an extensive retirement tour
this season. He has received gifs and
admiration from teams around the league.
Tese gifs include a chair made of broken
bats from the Minnesota Twins, a framed
scorecard from his frst appearance against
the Chicago White Sox, paintings and mu-
rals galore, and a mounted fre hose nozzle
from the Mets. Along with these gifs,
teams have donated thousands of dollars to
Te Mariano Rivera Foundation.
Te long Mariano Rivera novel is reach-
ing its end and I, for one, am very sad. Its
not going to be the same next year without
Mo closing the door at the end of Yankees
games. As much as I love
watching the Yankees lose, there is
something about Mo closing games that is
so special. We are at the end of one of the
greatest careers in baseball history.
Riveras last home game is Sept. 26 against
the Rays. Mark your calendars for whats
bound to be one of the most emotional
nights in sports. Tere wont be a dry eye in
the house.
All I have to say is, Tank you, Mariano.
You have given me years of memories and
truly demonstrated what it means to be a
professional. At the end of the day, when
stats are forgotten, your class and respect
for the game of baseball will always be
remembered. Exit Sandman.

Womens volleyball faces
Italian national team
Following its win at the Kansas
Invitational last weekend, Kansas will
take on the Italy U-23 National Team
on Wednesday in an exhibition match
before starting the conference swing on
Saturday.
The seniors on the squad have some
idea of what Italian volleyball is like.
In 2010, the team made an offseason
trip to Italy and played several teams in
preparation for the upcoming season.
Senior setter Erin McNorton said she
doesnt know what to expect Wednes-
day, but she does know that the a
matchup with the Italian team will be
a change from the teams she is used
to playing.
[International volleyball] is a little
different, McNorton said. They have
different rules.
Kansas went 3-0 last weekend to
claim its third tournament title this
season. McNorton was named the
tournament MVP after helping the
Jayhawks reach a hitting percentage
of .364 for the tournament, well above
their season average.
The Italian team is traveling across
the country to take on top collegiate
programs as part of its preparation for
the Mexico U-23 World Championships.
The team will play Kansas State on
Tuesday before heading to Lawrence.
As of Sept. 2, Italys womens national
volleyball team in ranked No. 4 in the
world, according to the Fdration
Internationale de Volleyball rankings.
The U-23 team features several players
on its national team.
The Jayhawks are currently on a
six-match winning streak. The outcome
of this match wont affect their overall
record.

COMMENTARY
Weis plays big
games after bye
ROCK THE BOAT
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
A Jayhawk rower glides across the glassy water of the Kansas River in her single boat. The frst competition of the season is in early October.
OARS AT THE READY
The rowing team prepare their boats for a two hour practice that requires them to arrive at six in the morning.
Jayhawk rowers head back to the Boathouse after an early morning practice.
Assistant Coach LeAnna Kemp instructs the women in the boat. The early morning practices leave a beautiful fog
along the banks of the Kansas River.
At 7 a.m. on the Kansas River at Bur-
cham Park, the morning sun peeked
through the dark blue sky. It was the
frst morning practice of the year for
the Kansas rowing team. You couldnt
tell by looking, but under the tired
faade of the rowers and coaches was
excitement for a new season. Its a fresh
slate for the experienced squad that
came just short of a bid to the NCAA
Championships last spring. Te teams
frst event, Head of the Oklahoma, is
coming up in early October.
While the players ran for warm-
ups, the three-person
coaching staf huddled
together, nursing cofees
and preparing for the
morning ahead. Sept. 5
marked the beginning of
the 16th season for coach
Rob Catloth the only
Kansas rowing coach
in the program's histo-
ry. Sophomore Maggie
Duncan of Mississauga,
Ontario, Canada, said at the teams
frst workout that the focus is to win
Conference USA and get an NCAA
Championship bid.
Te rowers fnished their warm-ups
and braced for two hours of rowing.
When practice ended at 9 a.m., the
team had accomplished more than
some people do in a full day.
Afer the rowers flled the boats and
strapped their shoes, the boats of sin-
gles and fours began going their sep-
arate ways across the river. Tough
eight-person boat races are consid-
ered to be the main event on race day,
those are for another day.
Were using small boats for techni-
cal work, Catloth said. It magnifes
the technical issues. You cant get away
with stuf you can in eights. Te team
will spend all of the fall session work-
ing on technique before the competi-
tive season in the spring, he said.
Catloths 16 years of experience
coaching KU rowing is almost intan-
gible. Coaching on the water is no
easy task Catloth and his assistants
must watch over at least a dozen boats
strewn across two miles of water ev-
ery practice. Because coaches cant get
in the super lightweight rowing boats
with players to help guide them, they
use megaphones and their own boats
to communicate with the rowers.
Within minutes of leaving the dock,
Catloth saw a boat of four who ap-
peared to be shaking of summer rust.
Whats the rhythm that were trying
to work with? Catloth said through
the megaphone to almost every boat
he drove up to in the frst hour of
practice. He put down the megaphone
and worked it over: leg drive, swing,
arm pulls rowing with length, as
he said. It would be his mantra for the
frst hour of practice.
Te boats were flled with unfamiliar
partner combinations, but the team
was experienced. Nearly three-quar-
ters of each boat was made up of re-
turners from last year. Te combina-
tion of unfamiliarity and rust from
summer break led Catloth to work
with two boats for 10 to 15 minutes
each.
I would say a good two to three
weeks and the physical ftness is back,
even just a week in the rowing tech-
nique has kind of snapped back in,
said senior coxswain Caty Clements,
of Lamar, Mo. As the coxswain, Cle-
ments is the captain and vocal leader
of her boat.
During races she will row in the
middle of her eight-person boat and
act as its quarterback, barking out
commands and ensuring the boats
rhythm is
correct.
Reminders
of rhythm
s l o w e d
down as the
boats rowed
s t r a i g ht e r
and with
more power.
With an
hour on the
water to build a rhythm, the players
looked encouraged when Catloth
drove close to observe. Catloth part-
ed one boat with the words of a zen
master: Let the boat carry you. Let
the boat do what its designed to do.
On a couple of occasions he chatted
with team members rowing by, asking
about classes and how their families
were doing.
Te team loves Catloths ability to
dole out tough love while keeping
things light. Tey said when he drives
his boat up to them, they know hes
not going to leave without impart-
ing encouragement. Sometimes hell
lighten the mood in practice by mak-
ing them laugh while coaching.
He comes up with these weird lit-
tle analogies that everyone thinks is
weird, but we all laugh, said senior
Liz Scherer of Wamego. He has fun-
ny analogies for rowing and we dont
know where he comes up with them,
As the boats began retreating to
shore, Catloth made sure to drive by
the ones that showed improvement.
Looks a lot better than over the
summer, he tells one rower.
At 9 a.m., when the boats docked
and practice ended, the day was just
starting for the rowers. A full set of
classes, work and study were ahead of
them.
Sophomore Tessa Scott of De Soto
said the team does 20 hours of row-
ing per week, on top of the 15 hours of
classes and 15 hours per week at her
job.
As the players lef the post-practice
huddle and headed into the locker
room, everybody had a look of sat-
isfaction on their face. Tey made it
through the frst early morning prac-
tice of the year.

LIZ SCHERER
Wamego senior
T
he frst bye week in Charlie
Weis coaching career
preluded the game of the
century.
His frst as a Jayhawk came before
the Road Kill Ahead game.
Te Jayhawks were 1-3 heading to
Manhattan last year, but had a bye
week to prepare for Bill Snyders
undefeated Wildcats. Weis brought
his tricks to the show, and it worked
for one half.
Te Jayhawks forced a three-and-
out to start the game against Kansas
State, before marching on a 12-play,
83-yard touchdown drive to give
Kansas a 7-0 lead. Kansas State
immediately responded for a score,
and sure enough, the trickery game.
On fourth down with eight yards
to go, Weis ran a fake punt, and it
worked.
Later, on the same possession,
Weis called a fake feld goal on
fourth and two, and the Jayhawks
scored three plays later.
Tis was a game the Jayhawks
werent even supposed to compete
in. Weis trickery inspired his team
to a competitive frst half. Te
Jayhawks went into the locker room
trailing 21-14.
When youre playing a team of
this caliber, youve got to be willing
to take some risks, Weis said afer
the game. We did two in a drive,
and it gives you a touchdown.
Youre up 14-7, and now youre
hanging around with the team
believing you have a chance.
His team had a chance, but it
remained slim. Te Jayhawks lost
56-16.
As a coach, Weis doesnt have a
stellar record coming of bye weeks.
His teams are 3-5, to be exact. Tat
being said, Weis doesnt have a
great record as a coach at 38-39, so
thats no huge surprise.
He does, however, have experi-
ence with big games following bye
weeks as big as games can get.
With Kansas riding momentum
this bye week, before they begin
conference play next Saturday
against Texas Tech, its fair to
say this is a big, big game for the
Jayhawks.
Weis frst game afer a week of
as a head coach carried as much
weight as a game can have.
His No. 9 Notre Dame team
played No. 1 USC in South Bend,
Ind. Tis was Matt Leinart and Reg-
gie Bush against Brady Quinn.
America watched one of the best
college football games ever played.
Notre Dame had a 31-28 lead with
less than two minutes remaining
in the game. USC was sacked, and
had a famous fourth and eighth, 61-
yard completion to Dwane Jarret.
Leinart ran in a one-yard touch-
down, known as Te Bush Push,
afer Heisman winner Reggie Bush
pushed his fellow Heisman team-
mate, Leinart, into the end zone.
USC 34 Notre Dame 31.
It can only be one of, if not the,
worst memoriesw in Weis coaching
career. Michael Wilbon, now with
ESPN, wrote in the Washington
Post, Yes, Southern Cal-Notre
Dame was indeed the Game of the
Century, and probably the 20th
century, too. Kansas-Texas Tech
wont have the hype or the implica-
tions of that other game. But its still
a huge opportunity for a Kansas
team thats been starved of a Big 12
win since 2010.
Better get preparing.
