Kate Eshelman, a graduate student in chemistry from Reno, Nev., greeted visitors at the door and said the turnout was about as good as last year. At least 100 families visited exhibits of chemistry, renewable energy, and physics throughout the afternoon. Eshelman said she worked the Oobleck Room last year.

Engineering school enrollment increases

Marshall sChMidt
mschmidt@kansan.com The School of Engineering is building the next generation of innovative thinkers and turning out more than ever. The schools undergraduate population has increased from approximately 1,500 students to 1,900 over the past five years, and the dean expects enrollment to continue to grow to 2,300 in the next five years. In the economic downturn, students are attracted to the engineering field because of its salary $56,921 is the average entry level pay and its relatively stable employment. More than 80 percent of engineering graduates from the University found jobs or were continuing their education within six months of graduation. Its a great time to be an engineer, Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, said. As students learn more about the opportunities in engineering, they get more excited about it. As part of a statewide effort to boost graduation rates in the engineering field, the School of Engineering is ramping up recruitment efforts, increasing curriculum opportunities and expanding its facilities. The school has worked harder to recruit students in high school with the help of local industries hosting recruitment events. Thats been driving the success

This year, it was in the hands of graduate students Daniel Kim, of Tuscon, Ariz., and Simon Lang, of Minnesota, who were up to their wrists in a non-Newtonian slime that behaved both as a solid and a liquid. The slime was two parts corn starch and one part water, with green and yellow food coloring for added effect. Children pressed down on the slime and felt it turn solid as they pushed the water out. But it acted like a liquid when they squeezed it through their fingers. Lang said the idea was to surprise the children and spark an

interest in why things sometimes arent what they appear. The biggest thing is they get to feel the difference, he said. Its more fun than reading it in a textbook. By mid-afternoon, the slime speckled every surface in the room. Lang said he and Kim would be responsible for the clean-up. Its not going to be pretty, he said. Edited by Rachel Schultz

Debt crisis rattles European Union countries

panel discusses debt in certain nations
Cody kuiper
editor@kansan.com The ongoing debt crisis in Europe is dominating the news and rattling stock markets lately. Whether the problem is more political or economic seems to depend on whom you ask. University professors have varying theories on why Europe is teetering on the edge of economic disarray, and their recent roundtable discussion placed the blame on poor political and economic decisions. On Thursday, the Center for Global and International Studies sponsored a discussion of the debt crisis featuring several professors of economics, political science and history. It focused primarily on how countries like Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain came to be in such predicaments, and how the European Union can solve these problems. One panelist, University of Missouri-Kansas City economics professor Stephanie Kelton, put the bulk of the blame on the flaws of the continents one-size-fits-all currency, the Euro. But her main goal for the discussion was to end the misconception that America might find itself in a similar situation with its debt. I think a lot of people in the media, a lot of economists and ordinary people draw the wrong conclusion when they see whats happening in Europe, Kelton said, and they think that if we dont begin to cut our deficit and get our fiscal house in order, were next. And thats, in my view, absolute rubbish. Robert Rohrschneider, a University professor in political science, contrasted Keltons economic arguments with his own political theories. Although he agreed with her thoughts on the Euros role in the crisis, he found the situation to be just as much political as it was economic. Europe has had economic problems for the past 10 to 20 years already, even before the onset of the current economic crisis, Rohrschneider said. So thats why its not just an economic crisis. It is also a political crisis because of the very fact that you dont have a

unified political system for Europe as a whole. Victor Bailey, distinguished professor of modern British history at the University, moderated the discussion, but most of the discourse came from the audiences questions. Derek Eichman, a senior from Wichita, asked multiple questions during the discussion, which he said left him with a better understanding of Europes economic plight. It put forth some fundamental components of the EU that I never really thought about before, he said. It was a good overall introduction to the nature of the crisis. The event was the first of its kind organized by European Studies Coordinator Lorie A. Vanchena, but she doesnt think it will be the last. Were certainly in the planning stages of a series of tables focusing on historical and contemporary issues in Europe, as well as business, law and social studies, she said. Edited by Jayson Jenks

A 33-year-old British adventurer preparing for a historic solo crossing of Antarctica was waiting at a base camp for the weather to improve on Sunday in order to begin her long journey on skis. Felicity Aston said she has been doing more than physical training to ready herself for the expedition. Ive also been speaking to a sports psychologist about the mental aspect of it because so much of this is about where your heads at rather than your muscles and your physical fitness, Aston told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from the base camp at Union Glacier. She aims to become the first person to cross Antarctica alone using only muscle power. If she manages to complete the journey in late January as planned, she would also set a record for the longest solo polar expedition by a woman, at about 70 days.

CARACAS, VENEZUELA

Pope Benedict XVI wrapped up a pilgrimage to Africa on Sunday where he laid out his spiritual vision for the continent and told tens of thousands during an open air Mass that true royalty does not consist in a show of power, comments that Africans interpreted as a jab at the continents corrupt rulers. The 84-year-old pope, who recently began using a moving platform to get across the long aisle at St. Peters Basilica, weathered the intense heat inside Benins unventilated chapels and parishes to deliver the layered message on how Africa can emerge from war and poverty. The pastoral guide includes advice on everything from treating AIDS, to the respect that should be shown toward indigenous beliefs. Its a deeply studied dissertation that reveals the importance that Africa now plays for the Roman Catholic Church, a region whose congregations are growing more quickly than anywhere else.

Spains opposition conservatives have declared victory in a general election marked by staggering unemployment and Europes sovereign debt crisis. In the last legislature the Peoples Party had 154 seats to 169 for the Socialists of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who was not seeking a third term in office. His party is saddled with a stagnant economy with grim prospects for years to come, and a 21.5 percent jobless rate. The political change led by Mariano Rajoy has won tonight in Spain, PP campaign manager Ana Mato said, although she stopped short of declaring outright victory. Jubilant, cheering supporters waving redand-yellow Spanish flags and blue-and-white party ones started to gather outside PP headquarters in downtown Madrid as pop music boomed over loudspeakers.

Egyptian soldiers and police set fire to protest tents in Cairos Tahrir Square and fired tear gas and rubber bullets in a major assault Sunday to drive out thousands demanding that the military rulers quickly transfer power to a civilian government. At least 11 protesters were killed and hundreds were injured. It was the second day of clashes marking a sharp escalation of tensions on Egypts streets a week before the first elections since the ouster of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak in February. The military took over the country, promising a swift transition to civilian rule. But the pro-democracy protesters who led the uprising have grown increasingly angry with the ruling generals, and suspect they are trying to cling to power even after an elected parliament is seated and a new president is voted in.

Government reports on private student loans

Students who have accepted private loans to pay for school have 60 days to tell the government about their experience. The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is collecting comments and data from students for a report to Congress on the private student loan market, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The private student loan market is one of the least understood consumer credit markets. It has been operating in the shadows for too long, said Raj Date, special advisor to the secretary of the treasury on the CFPB, in a press release. Shedding light on this industry will benefit students, lenders and the market as a whole. Students have about 60 days to submit information for the report, which the Department of Education and the CFPB must deliver to

H&M opens on Plaza

SARA SNEAth
ssneath@kansan.com H&M, a Swedish clothing company, opened a new location on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday afternoon. Students like Kristine Anderson, a junior from Olathe, made the trip from Lawrence this weekend to check out the low-priced fashion store. H&M is one of the many affordable, but still trendy stores to open in the Kansas City area. According to the Kansas City Business Journal, Forever 21 opened in 2010 on the Country Club Plaza and Love Culture will open in Leawood this spring. My girlfriend and her roommate wanted to come, Anderson said of H&Ms opening. It just opened. So, theyre really excited about it. On Saturday, H&M hired a disc jockey to spin at the Kansas City location. Anderson said she enjoyed the music, but the lines were really long. Jessica Luber, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., said she saw the H&M banner on the Plaza in October. Luber said she went to the H&M in Chicago over spring break and intended to check out the Plaza location, once for herself and again for Christmas shopping.

Police pepper spray protesters

ASSocIAtED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO As video spread of an officer in riot gear blasting pepper spray into the faces of seated protesters at a northern California university, outrage came quickly followed almost as quickly by defense from police and calls for the chancellors resignation. University of California Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi said in a statement Saturday she was forming a task force to investigate the police action and the video images she said were chilling. However, a law enforcement official who watched the clip called the use of force fairly standard police procedure. In the video, an officer dispassionately pepper-sprays a line of several sitting protesters who flinch and cover their faces but remain passive with their arms interlocked as onlookers shriek and scream out for the officer to stop. As the images were circulated widely on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter on Saturday, the universitys faculty association called on Katehi to resign, saying in a letter there had been a gross failure of leadership. At a news conference, Katehi said what the video shows is, sad and really very inappropriate but defended her leadership and said she had no plans to resign. I do not think that I have violated the policies of the institution, she said. I have worked personally very hard to make this campus a safe campus for all. Katehi remained in a media room for more than two hours after the news conference, eventually walking to an SUV past a group of students nearly three blocks long who, in a coordinated effort, remained completely silent. The Sacramento Bee said. The protest was held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of California, Berkeley who were jabbed by police with batons on Nov. 9. Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the departments use of force guidelines, said pepper spray is a compliance tool that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters. When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them, Kelly said. Bodies dont have handles on them. After reviewing the video, Kelly said he observed at least two cases of active resistance from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques. What Im looking at is fairly standard police procedure, Kelly said. Images of police actions have served to galvanize support during the Occupy Wall Street movement, from the clash between protesters and police in Oakland last month that left an Iraq War veteran with serious injuries to more recent skirmishes in New York City, San Diego, Denver and Portland, Ore. Some of the most notorious instances went viral online, including the use of pepper spray on an 84-year-old activist in Seattle and a group of women in New York. Seattles mayor apologized to the activist, and the New York Police Department official shown using pepper spray on the group of women lost 10 vacation days after an internal review. In the video of the UC Davis protest, the officer, a member of the university police force, displays a bottle before spraying its contents on the seated protesters in a sweeping motion while walking back and forth. Most of the protesters have their heads down, but several were hit directly in the face.

H&ms new storefront on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, missouri. it opened thursday with a line of customers that stretched down the block. H&m now hasmore than 2,200 stores in more than 40 countries. H&Ms large crowd over the weekend may be due to the advertising of Kansas Citys first branch location, but it also may be a result of its familiarity as an international brand, with more than 2,200 stores in 40 countries. Kerry Ternes, a sophomore from McIntosh, S.D., said shes been to the H&M in St. Louis and Vancouver. Ternes said there isnt another store like H&M. She said Forever 21 is kind of similar, but appears to be geared more to a younger audience. Before the Kansas City location opened, the nearest H&M location was St. Louis. While H&M products cannot be purchased online, shipping will become available in Spring 2012. Ternes said regardless if H&M products are available online she intends to continue to go to the Plaza location. Edited by Mandy Matney

online indie rock magazine returns to print publication

MCCLATChy-TribuNe
PHILADELPHIA Given the hard times that have hit the music and publishing industries in recent years, it wasnt so shocking when Magnet, the national indie rock magazine based in Philadelphia, put out what looked like its final print issue in 2008 and became a web-only publication. The music industry was in the toilet, and we were able to weather that, says Magnet editor Eric T. Miller, who in 1993 cofounded the magazine. (John Cusack was reading it in publicity shots for the 2000 movie adaptation of Nick Hornbys High Fidelity. And then the magazine industry was in the toilet, and we were able to weather that for a while. And then, in 2008, the economy crashed. At the same time, Kimberly Merritt, Magnets art director and Millers wife, experienced health problems that left her unable to work. The goateed Miller, who is 40 and has made Magnet his lifes work since getting a journalism degree from Temple University in 1993, shook his head, as his Boston Terrier, Higgins, sat by his feet. Youre able to weather 90 things going wrong, but 100 things... In a shrinking market where online music sites and blogs such as Pitchfork and Stereogum have thrived while traditional media such as Spin (now a bimonthly magazine), Paste (web-only), and Blender (out of business) have struggled, Magnet seemed headed for a depressing denouement. Miller doubted he would ever again hold a fresh copy of the magazine, which featured stylish altrockers Urge Overkill on its first cover and had established itself as a sharp, authoritative voice. Then in October, a funny thing happened. The 10,000 rock fans on Magnets subscription list who were still owed issues found something surprising in their mailboxes: A new issue of Magnet, with the esteemed American rock band Wilco on its cover. And this month, another, with the reunited classic lineup of Guided by Voices. In December, they will get a year-end issue proclaiming the debut by the young British band Yuck as album of the year. While maintaining a daily Web presence, Magnet is again a monthly, bucking an industry trend. And it is eliciting elation from loyal readers, such as Michael Mongillo of Meridien, Conn., who wrote in a letter: Im thrilled that Magnet is back in print. And twelve times a year. Even awesomer! Magnet is back in print because of publisher Alex Mulcahy, owner of Red Flag Media, which also puts out the environmentally conscious Grid (Toward a sustainable Philadelphia is its motto) and headbangers monthly Decibel, edited by metal authority Albert Mudrian. It couldnt be a better time to relaunch Magnet, said Mulcahy, in offices near Philadelphias Chinatown, where Red Flags 10 full-time employees work. Theres a vacuum. I dont think people want to read music magazines any less. I still think its an important way to find new music having a curated magazine thats cohesive, that matches your sensibilities. Mulcahy felt just as strongly in 2010, when Red Flag launched Cowbell, a monthly that employed many longtime Magnet writers who are now again writing for Magnet. Cowbells editorial direction did not vary drastically from Magnets. But Cowbell, Mulcahy says, was not gaining traction after 17 issues. I dont want to tell you how many subscribers we had, he said. But if I took off my shoes I could count them all on my fingers and toes ... It just failed to capture the consumers imagination. With Cowbell struggling, Mulcahy consulted with Miller this summer. It dawned on them that it might not be quite so hard to restart a magazine, particularly one with Magnets brand recognition and subscriber base. It all happened very fast, Miller said. Im very excited to be doing it again.

ABC searches for next Regis

MCCLATChy-TribuNe
The Regis Philbin era in daytime TV has ended, at least for now, as the longtime host bid farewell to his audience Friday. So now what? Well, Kelly Ripa has a long-term deal with whats for now called Live! With Kelly so dont expect her to vanish, too. Jerry Seinfeld will co-host the first post-Regis week (actually three days because of the holiday), and Neil Patrick Harris will step in for the week after that. But a top executive at the shows production company has reportedly said it could be six months or more before the program settles on Reeges permanent replacement. Were just not going to rush this, said Bob Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Co. He told the New York Times that there is no deadline. If the press starts writing in six months that nothing is happening, that wont matter. We are going to take our time. Not that he lacks for candidates. This is a great job, he told the Times. Were hearing from a lot of people who want it. And putting a successor in place too quickly could cause problems, Iger added, by inviting too immediate a comparison to Philbin. Its better to put a little space in there, he said. Of course, anyone following Philbin will be compared. The situation recalls what Russell Baker said when he was asked to follow Alistair Cooke as host of Masterpiece Theatre. And, before we go on, where else can you read an analogy involving both Philbin and Masterpiece? Anyway, Baker said, I didnt want to be the man who succeeded Alistair Cooke, but the man who succeeded the man who succeeded Alistair Cooke. Still vigorous, with a loyal audience, Philbin did not seem to need to depart the morning show, prompting speculation that he was shown the door. Nor has he been very forthcoming about his decision. The Hollywood Reporter noted recently that Philbin has been cryptic at best about why he left.

Non-traditional students deserve more recognition

While most students attend University of Kansas right out of high school to enjoy the college lifestyle while receiving a lauded career-building education, non-traditional, graduate and researching students should still be included in the policy-making process at the University. This is exactly what student leaders supported when they voted 46-5 in favor of giving Stouffer Apartment residents proper representation in the Student Senate through the Stouffer Place Association (SPA) at a meeting on Nov. 9. Student Housing dissolved the executive board of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association in March. Previously, the SNA represented the residents on the Senate, but the SPA is now the recognized governing body. Diana Robertson, the student housing director, said that SNA failed to comply with expectations the department holds for organizations representing students. However, the former president for SNA, Seyool Oh, said that the organization fulfilled all housing requirements except for handing over access to the SNA email account. He said the Universitys operating procedures didnt require student-governing organizations to provide access to their email accounts. Student Housing needs to find out if it has the authority to access these email accounts, because this issue could have been detrimental to Stouffer residents right to representation on campus. But it wasnt, because both Oh and Student Senate demonstrated maturity that should be followed for issues of politics and representation anywhere. By peacefully letting go of his previous leadership title and saying he will focus on what he can do to help Stouffer residents, Oh shows the dedication of a true student leader, and he didnt give up the integral role he can play in making life better for residents. As Student Senate voted to bend its rules to accommodate SPAs representation, it put students interests ahead of personal or political flavors. First and foremost, Stouffer Apartments residents need to be represented. While politics on the national stage usually present bickering and self interests above a greater good for the common and uncommon citizens, Student Senate should continue to take the mindset of the greater good for the traditional and non-traditional student. Non-traditional students are characterized as students who are at least two years older than the traditional age of their grade level. Often, its harder for these students to live with younger students. Places like Stouffer Apartments offer non-traditional students living experiences that are more suited for their lifestyle. They also provide students with children a greater family-oriented environment. All facets of the University need to make sure non-traditional students arent left out of decision-making processes. Academic departments should gather valuable feedback from this important demographic. Housing and student activities should hold more social events for older students. And the administration should strive for the University to be known as non-traditional-friendly. Vikaas Shanker for the Kansan Editorial Board

Fox news perception of racism concerning

A lot of racism went down this month. This wasnt your normal run-of-the-mill racial-epithetdrop either. This racism was poorly veiled as non-racism. And who else would pull that shit, but Fox News? Lets start at the beginning. The funny thing about the relationship between Fox News and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show is that Fox News wants to nail him back so badly. Jon Stewart is constantly calling it out for being ridiculously biased, and all it can do is sit there in padded ivory chairs in probably-smoke-filled board rooms angrily throwing martinis at the wall (martinis are evil, right?). But sometimes, Fox News tries to call him out right back, and it always ends hilariously. This last Monday, Stewart made some jokes about Herman Cains newly surfaced sexual harassment settlement from the 90s. Nothing about these jokes was

By Chance Carmichael
ccarmichael@kansan.com racially charged. The next day, Jon Stewarts whacky-haired nemesis Donald Trump released a video in which he calls Stewart a racist who can get away with it. Donald King Birther Trump obviously had no room to talk, so it wasnt hard for Stewart to quip him back in the following show. The issue at hand here is that so many conservatives are incredibly racist. Did Stewart use Cains race to deride him in any of the jokes? No. He didnt even make a refer-

ence to Cain being black until the black walnut joke at the end of the segment, but that wasnt necessarily racist. Trump was the one being racis using Cains race as a means to try and discredit Stewart. Looking at a person who is being insulted and actively believing that he must be getting attacked because he is black is racist. Even if Trump doesnt really believe that to bring it up, and then follow the accusation up by saying he has a great relationship with the blacks is so absolutely, incredibly, terrifyingly racist its not even funny. Its almost like meta-racism. And Trump wasnt the only conservative participating in the new craze. Ann Coulter, whose father is probably a Goliath Birdeating Tarantula named Hate, also went on Fox News this last week ranting about how the conservatives blacks are better than the liberals blacks. She also went on to state

that conservative blacks have it harder. You know, treating somebody differently, putting them in their own separate-but-equal group because of their race is racism. Race was a huge issue in Obamas campaign, because the right constantly tried to de-Americanize him due to the color of his skin, his racist preacher, and his fathers religion and heritage. But we proved that it has somewhat become a nonissue by ultimately electing him president. Granted, I will concede that race was an issue for those who voted for Obama, but I highly doubt anyone voted for the guy solely because hes black. A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook about a school in the south that decided to serve fried chicken and watermelon on Martin Luther King Day. His sister said that she didnt think it was a big deal, and others commented that it was harmless and that southern people of color often do partake

in these delightful foods. But this kind of racism does de-humanize these people. Most people in the south love fried chicken, and sure, maybe a lot of African Americans enjoy the food, but serving the food in celebration of a man who set out to prove that people of color are just as much people as white people isnt right. It takes them, says that they must think and be this way because of their race, and strips them of their individuality. Acting like being black is the only reason Herman Cain could be insulted is racist even though it doesnt immediately seem to be. It also aims to discredit the sexual harassment suit he has been lying about since it surfaced. But, yknow, Fox Newsies what are you gonna do? Carmichael is a junior in creative writing from Mulvane.

Culture reduces severity of sexual assault

In my article during Domestic Violence Awareness Week, I highlighted the importance of being aware of domestic violence at college. There is another significant piece of the puzzle: sexual assault. Like domestic violence, sexual assault is particularly dangerous on college campuses. We often think of rape or sexual assault as something that happens in an isolated area, with a stranger, and to someone else a faceless woman we do not know. But the reality of most sexual assaults is very different from this picture. Sexual assaults are more common than many realize, especially in college. One in four is a scary statistic, one so scary it almost seems unreal. But it is about one in four women in college who have experi-

By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com enced rape or attempted rape since age 14, says a U.S. Department of Justice report from 2002. Not only that, but the report also states that women ages 16 to 24 are at higher risk of sexual assault than women of other age groups. Sexual assaults arent all the same. It is a misconception that most sexual assault involves rape perpetrated by a stranger in a dark alley. According to a research report by

the U.S. Department of Justice in 2005, most sexual assaults on campuses are committed by someone the victim knows. That fact alone requires us to reevaluate how we think about sexual assault and how we go about preventing and remedying abuse. Most importantly, sexual assault is something we can address. Though we may not be able to eradicate it completely (but dont give up hope on that just yet), we can at least take steps to create a safer environment for others and ourselves. As sad as it sounds, the kind of culture we live in can sometimes make sexual assault seem almost OK. Sometimes the language we use exacerbates this culture. Most people dont mean any harm when they say they raped that chemistry test or when they call their

friend a slut in a joking manner, but even these jokes have ramifications. They perpetuate an atmosphere that blurs the lines of what is OK and what isnt OK, making identifying sexual assault more complicated and decreasing the likelihood that it will be reported. By using rape in a less serious context, for example, the severity of the word is diminished, which in turn can make the action seem less grotesque and less proximal. It may seem like a stretch, but the long chain of effects on our culture is what makes issues like sexual assault so complicated. We can all check ourselves every now and then; in a setting where sexual assault is so common, its worth being a little more careful. Our university and the Lawrence community provide some important resources for victims of sexual assault and for anyone who wants

to take precautions. The Jayhawk Buddy System and the SafeBar Alliance are useful ways to stay safe for evenings and weekends out, and the GaDuGi SafeCenter provides immediate assistance for victims. There are also counseling services on campus, and for preventative measures, the University also offers free self defense classes at the rec center. If something comes to your attention, dont be afraid to help a friend out of a bad situation. Contact an expert if you arent sure how you can help, but the important thing is letting your friend know you are there to help and looking out for each other.

mvernon@kansan.com Texas A&M punter Ryan Epperson had kicked 40 punts heading into Saturdays game against Kansas. He left with the same total, as the Kansas defense did not force one punt from the Aggies. Texas A&M had the ball for just 21 minutes and 43 seconds during Saturdays blowout. In that short time, the Aggies scored 61 points, as they knocked off Kansas 61-7. While Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman did say that time of possession should not be an indicator of what happened in the game, he did point out that the numbers were staggering. Ive never had that little time of possession with that many points, Sherman said. And while it was bad for a defense that had been improving in its last three games, the number of points Texas A&M scored did not properly portray the odds that were put against them. Giving up 469 yards like the Kansas defense did against Texas A&M is nothing to brag about. Yet the number is still similar to the amount of yards it had given up to Baylor and Iowa State in its previous two games, which were much closer contests. Against Baylor, Kansas gave up 505 yards and only 31 points. And against Iowa State the Jayhawks gave up 426 yards and only 10 points. The Jayhawks defense was often put in poor field position as Texas A&Ms 469 yards led to 61 points. A lot of it was field position, they started on the 40 or they started on the 50, junior safety Bradley McDougald said. Five or six of their starts were inside of our territory, so that definitely doesnt help when you have a high-powered running offense like they had and a lot of things they were doing. Kansas turned the ball over three times, which didnt help a defense that Texas A&M often bowled over. Texas A&M running back for Cyrus Gray ran the ball nine times in the first half for 95 yards for an average of 10.4 yards per carry. Gray did not play in the second half as a precautionary measure because of a shoulder injury. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson was visibly disappointed after a game in which the defense let up six touchdown plays of 25 yards or more. Youve got to make a play, Johnson said. Everybody that we put on the field is capable of making plays, theyve just got to hone in. Even though the 54-point loss was a staggering one, the Jayhawks defense did not quit on the field. As the team fell to 2-9 and 0-8 in Big 12 play, junior cornerback Greg Brown did not see any of his teammates demeanor falter. I really dont feel like anyone has quit, things just havent been going the right way, Brown said. I see everyone with their head

any improvement Kansas showed in losing late to Baylor and Iowa state was wiped away by this blowout defeat.

Oklahoma State University says Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna were killed in a plane crash in central Arkansas. The university said in a news release on Friday that the two were on a recruiting trip to Arkansas when the plane crashed near Perryville, about 45 miles west of Little Rock.

Deceased Cowgirls coaches remembered

associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. Kurt Budke believed in Oklahoma State when no one else did, and he wasnt afraid to show it. Less than two years after his Cowgirls failed to win any of their 16 conference games, Budke led them up against powerhouse Oklahoma and reigning national player of the year Courtney Paris. He supported his upstart team with quite the fashion statement: the brightest orange blazer he could find. Behind a scintillating 45-point game from Andrea Riley, the Cowgirls upset the sixth-ranked Sooners for the first time in nine years. Wherever Budke went, he won. The charismatic coach who turned the Cowgirls into an NCAA tournament regular was killed along with assistant coach Miranda Serna and two other people in a plane crash in Arkansas late Thursday. The two coaches, who first united as player and coach 16 years ago, had been on a recruiting trip. Budke frequently offered his players encouragement from the sidelines, but he also could be firm, raising his deep voice. And on more than one occasion, he grabbed a microphone to speak to the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd after a win. Coach Budke was a ball coach. What he did to turn this program around was unbelievable but thats not important right now, said Jim Littell, Budkes assistant who will replace him on an interim basis. Whats important is he was a father figure for these kids. He had a tremendous knack of taking kids that maybe were struggling in some part of their life and making it better for them. That was his strongest trait. A Salina, Kan., native, Budke was a married father of three, including a daughter currently at Oklahoma State. I looked at him almost as a mentor, Ford said. I cant tell you how many times I would pick up the phone and ask him how he ran his zone offense. Hed come down to the office or Id go up to his and we would sit and talk. Budke played basketball for Barton County Junior College and graduated from Washburn in 1984 with a bachelors degree in physical education. After some early smallcollege jobs, he built the JUCO powerhouse at Trinity Valley before hooking up with Louisiana Tech, once one of the top programs in the womens game. Serna, 36, was one of his top helpers along the way. Before spending the last seven seasons at OSU, she played on one of his four teams that won the juniorcollege national title at Trinity Valley (Texas) and was his assistant at Louisiana Tech for the last of three straight trips to the NCAA tournament. The Guadalupita, N.M., native was his recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State, which has been to the postseason the past five years. University President Burns Hargis said Serna was the first in her family to go to college. I loved her energy for the game, Oklahoma State mens basketball coach Travis Ford said. She had a great enthusiasm for the game. She enjoyed recruiting and she enjoyed the process of that and just had a warm heart. When Budke took over the program, the Cowgirls had finished with a losing record in five of their previous seven seasons and never finished more than a game over .500 during that span. The Cowgirls went 0-16 in Big 12 play in his first season, then secured their first bid to the NCAA tournament in 11 years. The next year brought a trip to the round of 16. You learn how to lose, and thats a bad habit, he once said of those early struggles. Sometimes, its easier to lose than to fight back, so we had to change habits and expectations. Budke had little to sell but a dream, but it was enough to convince the WNBA-bound Riley to come make her mark. She left as the programs career scoring leader. I came to this league because I wanted to coach against the best, night in and night out, he once said. These players that want to come play for us want to play against the best. Thats how we go out and recruit. When I first went there and got into the gym office, I saw eight players in the outer office hanging around, enjoying themselves and relaxing, said Leon Barmore, who made nine Final Four trips with the Lady Techsters and also hired Budke. This was a players coach. The players loved to play for him. He presented an environment which was relaxing. He made you feel warm and at ease, that always stood out to me.

The expectations for the season are certainly lowered, especially after Tuesdays loss. However, self feels confident about his group of unproven talents. with the chance to play duke in the invitationals championship game, Kansas can quickly erase the worries that swirl around the team as it prepares for Georgetown.

Kansas vs. GeorGeTown

GeorGe Town TipoFF

aT a GlanCe
Georgetown has played a soft schedule through two games this season, with easy wins over savannah state and unC-Greensboro. The opening round game of the maui invitational against Kansas will be the Hoyas first trip away from home this year. They were picked to finish 10th in the annual pre-season big east coaches poll. last season they fell to virginia Commonwealth in the second round of the nCaa tournament, 74-56. Coach John Thompson iii is entering his eighth season at Georgetown where hes compiled a record of 160-71. He was named the 2007 Coach of the year by the national association of basketball Coaches after winning the big east Tournament and advancing to the Final Four that season. He runs the princeton offense at Georgetown, which Thompson learned while coaching under princeton head coach pete Carril in the mid-tolate 1990s. The offensive scheme consists of controlling the ball for much of the shot clock, a myriad of passes and back-door cuts, and often results in low-scoring games.

GeorGeTown sTarTers
markel starks, sophomore guard
one of two underclassmen in the starting lineup for Georgetown, starks appeared in 30 games last season as a true freshman. He averaged 1.5 points in 9.7 minutes per game. He got the start against unC-Greensboro and played 18 minutes, going 4-for-6 from the field and finishing with 11 points.

tyshawn taylor, senior guard

Taylor really needed some help against Kentucky, but no one was there to provide. like most of his team, Taylors field goal percentage was poor. He hit just three of his 13 shots from the field. However he reached the free throw line a whopping 17 times in the game and sunk 15 of them. dont expect Taylor to average that many attempts from the charity stripe throughout the invitational.

Taylor

jason clark, senior guard

He joins sims as the only seniors in the starting lineup for the Hoyas. He started all 32 games last season as a junior and is the most experienced player in the Georgetown starting five. He averaged 12.0 points and 4.1 rebounds last season. He had 17 points and three assists in the win over unC-Greensboro.

Starks

elijah johnson, junior guard

playing out of position has been a moderate success for Johnson. while he occasionally brings the ball up the court like a point guard, he is usually the shooting guard who complements Taylor at the point. against Kentucky, his hit just three of 11 shot attempts and missed three of four 3-point shots. Johnson is best when his team plays fast and he can expose defenses in transition.

Clark

player To waTCH
THomas robinson, Junior Forward
dont let the numbers fool you; robinson was severely outmatched in the Kentucky game. He was Robinson outplayed by both Terrence Jones and anthony davis and missed layups and other shots near the hoop that usually translate into dunks when he plays in the comfort of allen Fieldhouse. now robinson is out to prove that Tuesday was an outlier, not a regular possibility, when he plays away from lawrence. Georgetown coach John Thompson iii has watched robinson play since he was a high school star in nearby washington, d.C. if robinson succeeds against Georgetown, it will be out of dominance, not surprise.

Johnson

player To waTCH
Hollis THompson, Junior Forward
Thompson is one of the most proficient returning scorers for coach John Thompson iii. He averaged 8.6 points per game last season as Thompson a sophomore. Hes entering his third season with the Hoyas and has played significant minutes through two seasons with the team. He graduated a semester early from loyola High school in los angeles and began practicing with the Hoyas a semester early. He chose to attend Georgetown over uCla, arizona, and duke, among others, after averaging 18.6 points and 9.0 rebounds as a junior at loyola. Thompson isnt the most experienced starter for the Hoyas, but hes certainly the most versatile and looks to have the nba in his near future. at 6-foot-8 and 212 pounds, hes still able to step away from the basket and create matchup problems for defenders.

hollis thompson, junior forward

Thompson led all Hoya scorers with 19 points in the 86-45 win over unC-Greensboro on nov. 14. He connected on five 3-pointers in 18 minutes and shot 7-for-10 from inside the 3-point line. last season as a junior, he starting 22 games for the Hoyas and finished fourth on the team with 8.6 points a game. Hes averaging 16 points per game on the season.

travis releford, junior forward

releford might have been the teams worst player against Kentucky. in 28 minutes played, he had more turnovers (5) than points (4). against Georgetown, he will likely defend Hollis Thompson to spare his teammate robinson of foul trouble. releford needs to establish himself as a rebounder and a force in the paint. self has said repeatedly that releford should be one of the teams best rebounders, but the evidence isnt there yet.

Thompson

Releford

nate lubick, sophomore forward

lubick returns for his sophomore campaign after starting the final 13 games as a freshman a season ago. He appeared in all 32 Georgetown games and averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. He shot an impressive 53.8 percent from the field last season. Hes started the first two games this season and is averaging seven points.

thomas robinson, junior forward

if robinson plans to make a bid as national player of the year, now is the time to get started. in last seasons maui invitational, Connecticuts Kemba walker essentially won the tournament by himself. robinson has the talent to do the same, however he must avoid foul trouble. robinson would please the coaching staff if he could rebound throughout the game, rather than in short spurts. walker led the Huskies in the invitational, then won a national title. The stage is set for robinson. will he do the same?

quesTion marK
henry sims, senior center
a senior with three years of experience in the Georgetown system, sims played in all 32 games last season but only started one. He averaged 3.6 points and 3.2 rebounds last season. He began the season with a near-perfect offensive performance against savannah state when he shot 9-for-11 and had 19 points in the 83-54 win.

quesTion marK
will Kansas rebound or remember?
if the Jayhawks dwell on Tuesdays loss, they may fall to Georgetown and find themselves in the losers bracket before they even settle in. Kansas must forget about Kentucky and focus on the invitational, game by game. This is one of selfs youngest and most inexperienced teams since he arrived in lawrence, so the teams collective mindset is something to pay attention to. when the greatest shooters miss a shot, they completely erase the memory from their minds. They shoot well because their minds arent clouded with misses, but rather focused on the next make. if the Jayhawks can follow this philosophy, theres not a team in the field, even duke, that should be considered a heavy favorite above them.

jeff withey, junior center

withey was the teams best player in the first half against Kentucky, as he proved that he can block shots against the best. However, like the rest of his team, he found himself in early foul trouble and returned to the game only to play catch-up. This tournament may be remembered as witheys coming out party. if not, it may be another dull and predictable effort from the potentially overhyped center.

will THe Hoyas be able To sCore ConsisTenTly aGainsT THe JayHawKs?

in coach John Thompson iiis princeton offense, possessions are at a premium and games are often low-scoring. Forward Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark are able to score with regularity, but the rest of the Georgetown roster is filled with underclassmen and unproven veterans. The Hoyas averaged 70.6 points per game last season but lost their top two scorers in austin Freeman and Chris wright, who averaged 17.6 and 12.2 points, respectively. Getting consistent production from the underclassmen, including freshman and former Kansas recruit otto porter, will be the key to knocking off Kansas in tonights matchup in maui. Thompson and Clark are the known commodities on offense, but until two or three other Hoyas show they are capable, trusting Georgetown to put up impressive offensive numbers is a bad idea.

The Jayhawks lose their second game in a row. losing to no. 2 Kentucky on a neutral court is hardly a reason to panic, but dropping another game to a largely unproven Georgetown squad would raise a few flags for fans. with no. 3 ohio state still on the non-conference schedule, things dont necessarily get easier in the coming weeks for Kansas. back-to-back losses and a 1-2 start to the season would be a cause for concern.

The Jayhawks take advantage of their side of the bracket. if Kansas can win its opening game against Georgetown, it would face tournament host Chaminade or a struggling uCla team. The top side of the tournament bracket is much tougher, which includes no. 6 duke, no. 10 memphis, and no. 17 michigan. a pair of convincing wins en route to the championship game would be nice for Jayhawk fans, but even a couple of struggling victories would be masked by a possible tournament championship.

mrothman@kansan.com LAHAINA, Hawaii With a lei draped around his neck and Pacific waves whooshing in the background, coach Bill Self shrugged off Tuesdays loss against Kentucky. The pace and pressure of New York City is far away now. You cant make a big deal out of one thing, Self said. Amid the stillness of the island, the Maui Invitational begins today and features eight schools of varying prestige. Along with Kansas, other schools such as Duke, UCLA and Georgetown the teams first opponent carry storied histories and year-to-year expectations. Memphis, Michigan and Tennessee, schools of lesser basketball traditions but enough talent to surprise, will also play in the tournament hosted by Chaminade. Who wouldnt want to come here? Self said. The team arrived in Maui on Friday and has prepared for Georgetown and the Princetonstyle offense of coach John Thompson III. If you look at what we do relative to most teams out here, you see bits and pieces and a lot of similarities, Thompson III said. The offense relies on steady doses of passing and movement away from the ball. By using back-door cuts and consistent motion, scorers take advantage of defenses that are too slow to adjust. Thompson doesnt see what all the fuss is about. He said that all teams have to guard and shoot, and theres not much more to his teams style of play. Self is aware of the unique details of Georgetowns offense and joked with his group about the inevitable. Which one is going to be the first to give up a backdoor layup? he said. The team has practiced three times on the island and has started adapting to the mellow lifestyle that swallows the land. Self said that because the area is quiet by 11 p.m., his team is getting plenty of rest. However, sharing locker rooms with other teams and warming up for just 15 minutes before each game is unlike the routine back home. Breaking away from routine could ready Kansas for the inconsistencies of March, so Self welcomes the changes. He said the players werent exactly running for the water right off the plane, although that could be a product of the country and city backgrounds that speckle the roster. If we had a local, itd be Conner, Self said, referring to senior guard Conner Teahan. Mondays matchup with Georgetown wont cast light on the entire season, but it will serve as a barometer of how the team handled Tuesdays defeat and how the Jayhawks adjust to the atypical lifestyle of the island. Its a time to get better, Self said, and find out who you really are. Edited by Jayson Jenks

Crazy weekend brings BCS shake-up

By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
hurts Oklahoma States chances at a title game berth, an impressive showing against one-loss Oklahoma should propel them back to the No. 2 spot. Once again, if only it were that easy. The Sooners saw their title hopes crushed in Waco, Texas on Saturday. The Baylor Bears, led by the dynamic Robert Griffin III, were able to stay with Oklahoma in a back-and-forth game. Griffin connected with Terrance Williams on a 34-yard touchdown pass with eight seconds remaining to seal a 45-38 upset. Bedlam will still be a crucial game, but a win over two-loss Oklahoma team does not help Oklahoma State nearly as much as it could have. To make matters even more hectic in the BCS battle, the No. 4 Oregon Ducks fell to Southern California at home, 38-35. After losing to LSU in the season opener, Oregon is virtually eliminated from BCS title consideration. In just 48 hours, three top-five teams suffered losses and the No. 2 spot is more up for grabs than ever. As it stands right now, the title game would be a rematch of the Nov. 5 Game of the Century between LSU and Alabama, in which the Tigers won 9-6. The possibility of a rematch could be the BCS worst nightmare. Not only have LSU and Alabama already played, but also the two teams are in the same division of the Southeastern Conference. Even though I think that LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the country, I dont see a

he purpose of the Bowl Championship Series is to pair the nations top two college football teams in the National Championship Game. Although the system technically works in that regard, controversy around the BCS is an annual occurrence. Entering this weekend, undefeated LSU and Oklahoma State sat atop of the BCS standings. If both those teams could have won the rest of their games, 2011 would be one of the least controversial decisions in the systems history. Well, if only it were that easy. In a matter of days, a seemingly simple year for the BCS became one of the most chaotic in the systems 13-year history. No. 2 Oklahoma State suffered a shocking loss on Friday at Iowa State. The 27-point underdog Cyclones came out motivated against a Cowboy team that clearly had their sights set on the Dec. 3 Bedlam showdown against in-state rival Oklahoma. Although the loss definitely

rematch between division rivals generating any national appeal. If there is one certainty of this unpredictable college football season, the next couple weeks will shake up the BCS standings even more. Edited by Josh Kantor

Nike can renew the swagger

he ea Sports Maui invitational bracket play begins today and, coinciding with the games, Kansas and adidas will unveil a Hawaiian-inspired line of footwear and apparel. This creative idea is to get the players and coaches involved as Bill Self and the staff wear Hawaiian shirts on the sideline and players will wear the look during warmups. Michigan, UCla, tennessee and Chaminade, the host school, will also wear Maui-inspired apparel since all four schools wear adidas. These five teams will wear special warm-up shirts and a pair of adiZero Crazy lights, the lightest basketball shoes ever weighing in at 9.8 ounces a shoe. Thats where the cool factor stops. When Kansas contract with adidas is up after the 2012-13 season, athletics Director Sheahon Zenger needs to make a deal with nike like he did when he was at illinois State. Before Kansas switched to adidas in 2005, it was a nike school. of course it was about money and getting the most bang for the buck, but being an adidas school hurts Kansas chances during recruiting, especially for basketball. adidas just doesnt have the swag that nike does. a majority of the players playing in legends of the Phog were wearing nike. archie goodwin, a five-star shooting guard in the class of 2012 as rated by Rivals.com, ruled out Baylor earlier this year partially because of its adidas status. i didnt like that they were an adidas team, but thats not to say i wouldnt go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team, goodwin told Rivals. i can look over the adidas thing i own some adidas stuff. i didnt like their colors, either. i dont like green and gold. Thats ugly. When you got ugly colors like that, you gotta be nike. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too. at least hes being honest. He ended up committing to Kentucky, a nike school. a commit going to school because its nike or adidas or Under armor is superficial, but so is the world we live in. look at nikes football uniforms. They scream swag, especially the Pro Combat uniformstheyre unique and specially designed for each team. Heck, even the nFl is switching from Reebok to nike next season. i understand why turner gill doesnt want to have names on the back of the jerseys because he wants the players to be playing for the name on the front, not the back, but i would argue Kansas football team needs some help in the swag department since it doesnt have names on the back of the jerseys. With the team this bad, how are fans supposed to know who is who? Remembering numbers is difficult enough, especially when you cant see somebodys face because its covered with a helmet. adidas may bring in the cash, but nike will help bring the swag.

aggies deliver quick knockout punch against Jayhawks

etHAN pAdwAy
epadway@kansan.com
College Station, texas For the third time in his two years at Kansas, turner gill took his team to his home state of texas. For the third time, his team produced a disastrous result. this trip, a mistake-prone first half left the Jayhawks in such a deep hole, they would have had a hard time climbing out of even if they showed up in the second half. and when a play did bounce the right way for the Jayhawks,

giving them a glimmer of hope, the walls came crashing down soon after in their 61-7 loss on Saturday. We were a little flat, and i couldnt tell you why we were flat, but everything that couldve went wrong, went wrong, senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. it was difficult to fight back from some of those situations you put yourself in. the trouble started in the first quarter when sophomore long snapper tanner gibas snapped the ball over the head of punter Ron Doherty and into the endzone. Doherty then kicked the ball out of the back of the end zone to prevent texas a&M from scoring a touchdown. the Kansas punting game, once highlighted as a bright spot on the team, didnt improve from there. Dohertys free kick follow-

ing the safety went out of bounds, and the Jayhawks could not contain aggie returner Dustin Harris, who returned three punts for 162 yards and one touchdown. We had one or two guys that were different as far as personnel-wise, gill said. But, again, guys need to go out there and make tackles and for some reason we just didnt get it done. the aggie defense kept the Kansas run game in check, forcing the Jayhawks into third-andlong. But in the first half, the Jayhawks responded, converting seven of 13 third downs, including twice with more than 10 yards to go. But penalties and other mistakes hurt any chance Kansas had. Mistakes like the shotgun snap flying back into freshman running back tony Pierson as he ran behind the offensive line,

sending the ball into the arms of the aggie defenders at the line of scrimmage. i think the crowd kind of got to us, sophomore running back James Sims said. Just the yelling and all that. We false-started and put ourselves in a bind, then you miss a block and it can cause a turnover right there. With the Kansas offense shooting itself in the foot and the punting game unable to pin the aggies deep in their own end, the Jayhawks relied on their defense to come up with big stops. and they responded the same way they have all season: allowing a&M to move down the field quickly and demoralizing the Jayhawks. aggie quarterback Ryan tannehill used the strong performances of his running backs to take advantage of play fakes that
