Senior Sarah Stern mingles with friends and family at the signing for her Favela da Rocinha, Brazil Saturday afternoon at the Lawrence Arts Center.
Proceeds will be donated back to Rochinha to fund a season of free art classes for youth.
Sarah Stern takes a few
moments to walk around the
room, greet guests, answer ques-
tions and point out her favorite
of the photographs lying on one
of the tables. Then, she returns
to the chair next to Gary Mark
Smith and continues selling and
signing books.
Stern, a senior from Lawrence,
celebrated the debut of Favela
da Rocinha, Brazil, a book of
photographs and essays that
illustrate everyday life in Rio
de Janeiros largest favela, or
slum, with a launch party at the
Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New
Hampshire Street, on Saturday.
Stern and Smith, a street photog-
rapher and University alumnus,
co-authored the book, which
was put together after the duos
June 2011 trip to Rocinha .
I wanted to show everyday
Rocinha: what it was like if you
went there and werent in a tour-
ist group and lived day-to-day,
Stern said. Its such a bizarre
and unique place.
Stern and Smith travelled
to Rocinha when it was under
gang control, before pacifica-
tion efforts later that year by
the Brazilian government to gain
authority as the country emerges
with cultural significance before
the 2014 World Cup and 2016
Summer Olympics.
Stern and Smith lived with
residents of the favela and taught
a few photography classes during
their three-week stay. Proceeds
from the book will go toward
funding art classes for youth in
the favela that Smith or Stern
will go back to Brazil to teach.
Everyone was so welcom-
ing and loving, Stern said. We
werent there to profit off of it;
we just wanted the experience.
Our way of giving back to them
for their hospitality is the book.
Sixty of the books 130 photo-
graphs are Sterns. She also wrote
an essay about her experience
that is included in the work.
Favela de Rocinha, Brazil can
be purchased at rocinhathebook.
com, around the Lawrence com-
munity and in Rio de Janeiro.
He (Smith) took the book
back to Rocinha and they loved
it, Stern said. That means we
did our jobs. Its a really cool
feeling to hold it in your hands
and say, this was my experi-
ence.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett,
director of the Universitys hon-
ors program, attended the book
launch on Saturday. McCluskey-
Fawcett is Sterns advisor, and she
nominated Stern for Glamours
list of the top 10 college women
of 2012, for which Stern appeared
in the magazine.
Shes fabulous, McCluskey-
Fawcett said. Its pretty amazing
to be going into your senior year
as a published author.
Stern is unsure of her plans
after graduation.. However, she
does know that another trip to
Brazil is in her future.
I need to find out how I
can make it back to Brazil, she
said. Its chaos. I got out of
the taxi and I had to take a few
moments to soak it all in. There
was music blasting, kids running
around, there were vendors, cars
and motos weaving in and out
of every corner. Its a beautiful
chaos and it all comes together
to create this unique place.

After KUnited swept elections
last spring, Student Body President
Hannah Bolton and Vice President
Brandon Woodard worked over
the summer to bring the platforms
they ran on to fruition. Their hope
is that students can already see
the effects of their work and will
continue to see progress as the year
continues.
These are all major projects
that we have been working on since
day one, said Senate Outreach
Director Alek Joyce. They each
present their own obstacles, but
thanks to collaboration across KUs
campus, with a number of admin-
istrative offices, we are advancing
toward completing our platform
goals.
Some platforms include creat-
ing a student resources website
so students can find useful infor-
mation in one location, stabiliz-
ing grading within departments,
renovating Wescoe Beach and
adding a Spanish minor for stu-
dents. One proposal, Responsible
Refreshments, has already received
attention, from several local bars
that have agreed to provide non-
alcoholic beverages to designated
drivers.
There has been a lot of support
from the Lawrence community,
Joyce said. For every single one
of these platforms, we have made
some headway.
A few construction projects are
also being discussed, including
building cell phone charging kiosks
on campus so students can recharge
their phones between classes.
Student Senate is collaborating with
KU InformationTechnology to find
a practical way to implement the
idea, and right now they are com-
ing up with visuals for what the
kiosks will look like. Other projects
are more long term and may take
more than a year before they can
be carried out.
For example, Bolton and
Woodard have plans to create
Student Entrepreneurship Centers,
which according to the Boltan-
Woodard administration will

TOPEKA, Kan. A Kansas
prosecutors investigation into
private dinners Gov. Sam Brown-
back hosted for legislators dem-
onstrates that a public shaming
ofen is the only consequence
faced by ofcials who violate the
states open meetings law.
Te Kansas Open Meetings
Acts enforcement depends
upon prosecutors having an ap-
petite for going to court or in-
dividuals and groups who have
the money to pursue their own
lawsuits. Also, an individual
like Brownback can schedule
gatherings but then face no legal
repercussions over violations
that occur at them.
Shawnee County District At-
torney Chad Taylor concluded
last week that legislators violated
the law during seven private din-
ners with Brownback in January
at Cedar Crest, the governors
residence. He scolded lawmak-
ers publicly and admonished
them to become better informed
about the laws requirements. But
Taylor is not pursuing further
action, saying he could prove
only technical violations.
Taylor suggested during a
news conference that legislators
received enough adverse pub-
licity during the nearly seven
months of his investigation that
theyll look to avoid open meet-
ings violations. Representatives
of news organizations are skep-
tical that a public shaming actu-
ally will stick.
When Taylor backs down
and takes a powder on the thing,
they think its perfectly OK what
they did, said Mike Merriam, an
attorney for Te Topeka Capital-
Journal and the Kansas Press As-
sociation, who fled the formal
complaint that led to Taylors
investigation.
Te Open Meetings Act gen-
erally prohibits a majority of a
legislative body from meeting
without giving the public notice
and access to the event. A gath-
ering of a committees majority
is a meeting if public business
is discussed and lawmakers in-
teract.
Ofcials who knowingly vio-
late the law can be fned up to
$500 per incident.
More than 90 lawmakers at-
tended the dinners, almost all
Republicans. Brownbacks ofce
still doesnt concede that the Ce-
dar Crest events were meetings,
and many legislators view them
as purely social gatherings.
A court order or an agree-
ment produced under the threat
of a potential order would
spell out in writing what viola-
tions occurred and how they
could be avoided.
Otherwise, Merriam predict-
ed, Brownback or some other
governor is going to call the
same kind of dinner meetings in
the future.

Chemistry instructor to
receive $650,000 grant
Chris Elles, assistant professor of chem-
istry, has been awarded a research and edu-
cation grant from the National Science Foun-
dation, according to a KU press release.
Worth $650,000 over fve years, the grant
funds Elless research on photochemical re-
actions while including undergraduates in
the UKanTeach program. This will allow fu-
ture high school teachers to include research
concepts into their curriculum.
Elles also said in the release that the
grant will fund a project meant to observe
molecular behavior, which could be applied
to the next generation of DVD technology.

New student center will
house basketball rules
Plans are underway for a new student
center to be built near Allen Fieldhouse. The
building will include an exhibit displaying
James Naismiths original rules of basketball,
recently donated to the University by investor
David Booth.
Housing this document on our campus
gives the KU community tangible evidence of
our rich basketball history, said Sarah Morris,
President of the Student Endowment Board .
David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial
Unions, said the building plans are still in
the early stages. An architect has yet to be
determined, as well as the full functions of
the building. The project will be paid for by KU
Endowment and private donors.

annual State of the State address at the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka, Kan.

Patent ruling
follows trend
SAN JOSE, Calif. Jurors
ruled in favor of Apple Inc.
Friday, awarding $1.05 billion to
the company after a patent trial
declaring Samsung Electronics
Co. copied Apples patented
technology for the iPhone and
iPad.
The case is part of a trend
that has accompanied an explo-
sion in the number of patent
infringement cases, especially in
the technology sector.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers
reported that 182 lawsuits were
filed between 2006 and 2010
involving patents in computer
hardware/electronics, software
and telecommunications. That
was an increase from 77 filed
during the previous five years.
Increasingly, these highly
complex disputes are being
decided by juries, rather than
judges, and the juries tend to
issue more generous awards for
patent violations.
That has companies on the
receiving end of successful pat-
ent infringement lawsuits calling
for reform in the patent system,
but it also has some legal experts
questioning whether ordinary
citizens should be rendering
verdicts and fixing damages in
such high-stake cases.
This case is unmanageable
for a jury, Robin Feldman, an
intellectual property professor
at the University of California
Hastings Law School, said
before the verdict. There are
more than 100 pages of jury
instructions. I dont give that
much reading to my law stu-
dents. They cant possible digest
it.
Steven Zipperstein, the chief
legal officer of Research in
Motion Ltd., argued that pat-
ent lawsuits like Samsungs and
Apples often result in new prob-
lems.
The purpose of the patent
system is to encourage inno-
vation, but the system is still
too often exploited in pursuit
of other goals, he said in a
statement earlier this month.
This case clearly highlights the
significant need for continuing
policy reform to help reduce the
amount of resources wasted on
unwarranted patent litigation.

Togo female leader stages sex strike
LOME, Togo The
female wing of a civil rights
group is urging women in Togo
to stage a week-long sex strike
to demand the resignation of
the countrys president.
Women are being asked to
start withholding sex from
their husbands or partners
as of Monday, said Isabelle
Ameganvi, leader of the wom-
ens wing of the group Lets Save
Togo. She said the strike will put
pressure on Togos men to take
action against President Faure
Gnassingbe.
Ameganvi, a lawyer, told
The Associated Press that her
group is following the example
of Liberias women, who used a
sex strike in 2003 to campaign
for peace.
We have many means
to oblige men to understand
what women want in Togo,
Ameganvi said.
The sex strike was announced
at a rally Saturday of several
thousand in Lome. The dem-
onstration was organized by
a coalition that is protesting
recent electoral reforms which
they say will make it easier for
Gnassingbe to win reelection in
the polls set for October.
Gnassingbe came to power
in 2005, following the death
of his father, Gnassingbe
Eyadema, who ruled the West
African country for 38 years.
Gnassingbe has not commented
on the sex strike, nor has his
wife. Earlier this month, two
anti-Gnassingbe protests were
dispersed by police using tear
gas and more than 100 people
were arrested.
At Saturdays rally, which
ended peacefully, Jean-Pierre
Fabre, leader of the National
Alliance for Change opposition
party, called for Gnassingbes
resignation. Other opposition
leaders called for civil disobedi-
ence.
But it is the sex strike that
has people talking in this small
country of 7 million people.
Its a good thing for us
women to observe this sex strike
as long as our children are in jail
now. I believe that by observing
this, we will get them released,
Abla Tamekloe said. For me,
its like fasting, and unless you
fast, you will not get what you
want from God.
When asked if her husband
would agree, Tamekloe said: It
is easy for me to observe it. I am
used to it, but I am not sure my
husband will accept, but I have
to explain to him.
Others were skeptical of
Isabelle Ameganvis call.
It is easy for her to say
because she is not married
herself. She does not live with
a man at home, said Ekoue
Blame, a Togolese journalist.
Does she think women who
live with their husband will be
able to observe that? By the way,
who controls what couples do
behind closed doors?
KHAR, Pakistan Dozens of
militants from Afghanistan at-
tacked an anti-Taliban militia post
in northwest Pakistan for the third
day Sunday, sparking fghting that
killed one soldier and 20 militants,
a Pakistani ofcial said.
In addition to the dead, four
soldiers and four militiamen were
wounded in Sundays attack in the
Bajur tribal area, said Jahangir
Azam Wazir, a local government
administrator.
Pakistan has criticized Afghan
and U.S.-led coalition forces for
not doing enough to stop the rising
number of cross-border attacks by
Pakistani Taliban militants holed
up in the Afghan provinces of Ku-
nar and Nuristan, across the border
from Bajur.
Tat criticism could sofen af-
ter the coalition killed a senior
Pakistan Taliban commander in
an airstrike in Kunar on Friday.
Mullah Dadullah, was the leader of
the Pakistani Taliban in Bajur. He
was killed along with 11 others, in-
cluding his deputy.
Four soldiers, six militiamen and
38 militants died during the cross-
border attacks in the Salarzai area
of Bajur on Friday and Saturday,
Wazir said.
Te airstrike that killed Dadullah
followed the cross-border attack
on Friday, but the NATO coalition
said there was no coordination with
Pakistan during the attack.
Te U.S. and Afghan govern-
ments have long criticized Pakistan
for failing to prevent militants using
sanctuaries inside the country from
attacking targets inside Afghani-
stan. Te main focus has been on
Pakistans North Waziristan tribal
area, the main militant sanctuary
in the country and home to the
Haqqani network, considered one
of the most dangerous insurgent
groups fghting in Afghanistan.
Afghanistans intelligence agen-
cy said Sunday that its operatives
have confrmed that the son of the
founder of the Haqqani network
was killed in Pakistan, even as the
Taliban vowed that he was alive and
in Afghanistan.
Shafquallh Tahriri, the spokes-
man for Afghanistans National Di-
rectorate of Security, said Badrud-
din Haqqani was killed in an
airstrike in Pakistan last week. He
did not provide further details, and
he would not say on what informa-
tion the agencys operatives were
basing their conclusion or whether
they had seen the body.
Pakistani military ofcials have
said privately that they plan to in-
crease the pressure against mili-
tants in North Waziristan slowly,
not conduct a sweeping ofensive
as they have done in the other parts
of the tribal region.

Fire-eaters, jugglers, musicians,
dancers and magicians were the main
features of the fifth annual Lawrence
Busker Festival, a three-day event
held last weekend in Downtown
Lawrence. Massachusetts Street
was filled with students, families
and Lawrence residents who could
experience the excitement of the
various performers at designated
stages throughout the weekend.
What makes [The Busker
Festival] a festival is that theres
a lot more performers, but also
theres a lot more people; people
come downtown specifically to see
the street performers, said Busker
Festival event organizer Richard
Renner in an interview with Kansas
Public Radio.
The festival was free, but attend-
ees were asked to tip performers. In
addition to the shows, a Busker Ball
was held Friday at The Lawrence Art
Center, 940 New Hampshire, where
Lawrence residents previewed the
festival. After the ball, there was an
informal meet-and-greet with the
performers. Aaron Farish, a magi-
cian from Kansas City, said one of
the best things about street per-
forming is getting paid to practice.
I like having the ability to draw
in a big crowd, make them laugh
and make them stick around to
watch the show, Farish said.
The festival featured four different
stages along downtown Lawrence:
an Eighth Street Stage, a Musicians
Pitch Stage at 815 Massachusetts
Street, a Plaza Stage at the intersec-
tion of Ninth and Massachusetts
streets and a 10th Street Stage, as
well as performances held at The
Lawrence Art Center. Each day had
scheduled acts in addition to fac
painters, human statues and bal-
loon artists. Specific times were set
up for bigger performances, like
sword swallowing and other inter-
active shows.
Will Hawkins, a graduate student
from North Carolina, said his favor-
ite act at this years Busker Festival
was the Pogo Dudes, a group spe-
cializing in extreme stunts using
special pogo sticks.
[The Pogo Dudes] were pretty
sick; it was terrifying to watch, but
in a good way, Hawkins said.
Besides the entertainment shows,
the Busker Festival featured a wide
variety of live music, ranging from
guitar and vocal performances to
human organic music, inspired by
nature. Amanda Williams, a 2004
alumna from Topeka, not only
attended the Busker Festival, but
participated in it as well, saying
the live music was one of the most
important aspects of the event.
I love seeing live music encour-
aged by the general public and see-
ing parents bringing their children
out to the shows, Williams said.
The Busker Festival offered work-
shops for children on Saturday at
The Lawrence Art Center from 9:30
a.m. until noon. The cost was $10
per child, and workshops included
tips in balloon making, juggling and
magic. The event concluded Sunday
afternoon after final performances.
Students and alumni flooded
the streets of Downtown Lawrence
with friends and significant others
to join in the excitement of the fes-
tival. Brandon Daley, a senior from
Wichita, said he originally came
to Massachusetts Street to eat, but
decided to stay and watch some of
the entertainment.
I love magic shows; I think
theyre great, and they are one of my
favorite things to watch, Daley said.
We came for dinner and decided to
save our tips for the best show.
The best thing about being a bus-
ker, magician Farish said, is the
practice you get from performing in
front of crowds.
Anybody can do it with enough
practice, Farish said.

Sometimes you must play a role to some
extent. usually, this does not present a
confict. Today, you really want to dote on
a family member or loved one, yet where
you are and what you are doing will not
permit that spontaneity. Tonight: To the
wee hours. 3 stars

taurus (apri 20-May 20)
The smartest thing you can do right now
is not take any action. A situation might
encourage you to actively reach out for a
child or loved one. Sometimes it is better
to hold off and allow this person to work
through the issue on his or her own. To-
night: How about some exotic cuisine?
5 stars
gemini (May 21-June 20)
A partnership naturally brings a lot
of benefts with it, if you are willing to
receive them. Follow your intuition and
zero in on a long-term goal. Ask yourself
honestly whether an associate or partner
would have made a difference. Listen to
your answer. Tonight: Chat about this is-
sue over dinner. 5 stars
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have your opinions, yet it seems
as though a partner, boss or associate
has opinions that appear to be more rel-
evant. Remember, this persons attitude
is natural, as he or she is responsible for
this particular venture. Later, he or she
will express appreciation for your efforts.
Tonight: Do not be alone. 5 stars
Leo (July 23-aug.22)
You could have diffculty focusing on
what you need to do, especially since
present distractions are so enticing. Do
not judge yourself for being so whimsi-
cal. Veering off track is not only refresh-
ing for you, but for some of your observ-
ers as well. No one is perfect all the time.
Tonight: Take the dog for a walk. 4 stars
Virgo (aug. 23-sept. 22)
Your creativity meets each situation
and conversation you encounter, yet you
might not want to share everything that
comes to your mind. This ever-present
ingenuity adds to the delight you are
experiencing. Tonight: Fun and games!
You choose what. 5 stars
Libra (sept. 23-oct. 22)
Be happy without having to add more
excitement than need be. Actually, if you
can stay close to home, do. You need to
mellow out some. A child or romantic
interest keeps coming to mind. Curb a
tendency to be self-destructive. Tonight:
Order in. 4 stars
scorpio (oct. 23-nov. 21)
Speak your mind, although you could be
surprised by others reactions. Someone
draws you in, and the serious I mean
business attitude seems to dissolve.
Before you realize it, the two of you are
off sharing a special experience. Tonight:
Return calls and emails. 5 stars
sagittarius (nov. 22-dec. 21)
You might not have thought you would
let go and enjoy your day as much as you
are. You might want to rethink a situa-
tion, but there is an element of fun and
affection that could weave through your
day and distract you. Tonight: Indulge a
little. 3 stars
Capricorn (dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Someone clearly is doing everything he
or she can to get your attention. You
could be tired and wondering what is
necessary to complete. Be more sponta-
neous, and youll discover that network-
ing reinvigorates the Goat. Tonight: Be
available. 4 stars
aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep reaching out for novel ideas and
different approaches. You often need
newness in your life. The more you learn,
the more open you become, and the more
likely there will be a perpetual kaleido-
scope of new information. 3 stars
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Zeroing in on priorities might be a great
idea, but at the same time, you fnd dis-
tractions rather alluring. Schedule a late
lunch if you need some time to mix work
with your social life. Let your creativity
fow. Tonight: use your imagination.

MI NK L A W DAY
2012
With many of us starting
to talk happily ever after
with our significant others, its
fairly common to see updates
on Facebook and Twitter about
our friends becoming engaged.
For some of us, monogamy is
right around the corner. But for
a lot of us, walking down the
aisle isnt happening anytime
soon.
When we dream of having
bling slipped on our left ring
fingers, seeing others do it first
can send us reeling. However,
despite where we are in our
relationships (or lack there of),
its important to keep in mind
that flashy ring or not, what
matters more is understanding
that marriage isnt the solu-
tion to having what we really
desire.
A friend of mine from sixth
grade tied the knot this past
summer, and for awhile it made
me ask, Whens my turn?
Literally a quarter of all of my
friends online are married or
engaged, and now that my class
and I have graduated, it seems
like I never need to wait long
for news that another person I
know is set to wed.
According to a marriage
study published in the Journal
of Personality and Social
Psychology, marriage is not the
key to happiness and should
not be viewed as such. It sounds
simple enough, but when cul-
ture and instincts combine to
suggest that not tying the knot
means something is wrong
with us and that were therefore
being weeded out by evolu-
tion, it can be a difficult con-
cept to process, especially for
us women.
Harvard University profes-
sor Daniel Gilbert, who holds
a doctorate degree in social
psychology, says that generally,
married people are happier than
those who are not, not because
they are married, but because
the biggest indication of hap-
piness in ones life is whether
or not he has good relation-
ships with people around him.
In that same way, people who
were once unhappily married
often have spikes of happiness
once the divorce finalizes.
So rather than walking
down the aisle, what generally
makes people happiest is when
theyre engaging in some kind
of positive social interaction
from chatting on Facebook to
lounging at The Java Break to
having sex.
Further, basic psychology
tells us that happiness is rela-
tive. My relationship with my
own long-term boyfriend is a
good one, but I do get bored
and become frustrated with
it. As long as thats addressed,
though, its okay and to be
expected.
When he and I engage in
new and exciting things, our
happiness as a couple spikes
but regresses to its normal
point with time. And thats not
a warning that our relationship
is doomed to crumble out of
boredom. All it means is that
were like everyone else, includ-
ing my old newlywed friend.
Therefore, as long as our
happiness doesnt fall below
our normal level and stay there,
whether my boyfriend throws
a proposal into the equation is
irrelevant. I may dream of wed-
dings on Pinterest, but because
what I have with my beau is
good, were happy with where
we are, even against the back-
drop of our peers saying I
do. In the end, Im really just
pinning links of dresses, finger
desserts and flowers, not actual
marriages.
Despite many of us having
desires for our future relation-
ship endeavors, we must first
be satisfied with the here and
now. Not reaching that point
sooner can wreak havoc on our
nuptials later.
We need to be satisfied with
our single lives because betting
on our happiness can come at
a terrible price, namely of a
marriage, half of our stuff, and
$500 an hour. In the end, its
a gamble no one should take
lightly.
Earlier this month when I
became a redhead, I thought
about my old friend and told
my hair stylist about my plans
to move in with my boyfriend
next August and start a life
together. I expressed my excite-
ment but also told her about
my anxiety about such a major
life change. She just kept dying
my hair and said, Theres plen-
ty of time to play house. It was
so simple yet some of the best
advice Id ever heard.
When I left the salon I got in
my car, and as I took a picture
of my new hair, I looked at my
left hand. There was no ring.
But I had love.
I was in a good place.

In a previous edition of the
University Daily Kansan on
August 15, there was a column
titled Dont Facebook yourself
out of a job. While employers
may think youre not hirable,
friends may just think youre a
complete idiot. Admit it, theres
a person you know who sim-
ply should not be allowed to
use social media. Here are a few
examples of constant posts about
things that you just cant even
pretend to care about.
OveRly Obsessive
giRlFRienD
Theres always some girl who
posts constantly about her boy-
friend. Please, if you want to
tell your boyfriend how amazing
he is, call him instead of posting
four paragraphs on his wall every
day. Seriously, I dont know how
anyone would not get annoyed
by that. Heck, there are even
some guys who do that. Simply
said, dont obsessively post about
your significant other.
MiRROR picTURe a Day
I do not see how some peo-
ple can post a mirror picture of
themselves (also known as self-
ies) nearly every day and still
get likes on it. Have you really
changed that much in a 24-hour
span that you need to show all of
your 847 friends a new picture?
Even worse are people who take
pictures with an iPad in the mir-
ror. You look like youre posing
with a small cookie sheet.
excessively shaRing
picTURes
Like if you remember this
from the 90s! Share this if
you agree! Theres always that
one best friend who you can
tell everything! I really do not
want to see all of these pictures
because its like chain mail. Go
back onto AOL or MSN mail if
you insist on doing this.
bRagging
Everyone does it and I think
its okay to an extent. Posting
about your fabulous new intern-
ship or getting accepted into
medical school is understand-
able. But when you check into the
gym on your phone a few times a
week or post pictures of yourself
doing a keg-stand, everyone gets
it, you think youre cool. Chances
are, not many people think the
same.
The acTivisT
This one is pretty simple.
Posting about how much the
other political party is, or how
stupid another religion is, real-
ly wont really change much.
Everyone has their opinion, but
by constantly putting a negative
opinion about the other party
or religion does not necessarily
convert the world of Facebook to
your view.
Wannabe neWscasTeR
Its raining outside? How fas-
cinating. Andy Griffith just died?
Better post five videos of him
and tell Facebook all about it as
if they have no ways of finding
out on their own. Facebook isnt
Good Morning America.

If these types of Facebook
users truly are unbearable, there
is the option to block their posts
from appearing on your news-
feed. Either that, or just continue
to use the annoying posts as a
form of entertainment.

establishing boundaries in a virtual world
RELaTIONShIpS
Just like 80 percent of 18-to-
24 year olds, I sleep next to my
phone. I follow the same morn-
ing ritual every day: reach for my
iPhone, open my Facebook app
and mindlessly scroll down the
newsfeedCara heroically stands
against Chick-fil-A, Brett valiantly
makes it to work despite one too
many $1 PBRs the night before and
Trey proudly posts pictures from
his 5K run an hour earlier.
I read these rather mundane
posts every day. They offer little
color to my life, yet I am still com-
pelled to read them every morning.
For some unexplained reason, I am
consumed with my virtual world.
A world thats mostly surface, rare-
ly substantive and filled with too
many people I hardly know.
This past Saturday was different,
however. As I scrolled, I saw a post
from my aunt that read:
My best friend and brother
Doug Scott has gone home to God.
He is finally at peace and with his
son Austin. Please keep all of us
in your prayers, especially Dougs
children Hunter and Alicia, and
Dougs mother Merilyn. We will
miss him so.
A jarring experience to say the
least. My uncle was dead. Chick-
fil-A, $1 PBRs, 5K, and my uncle
Doug is dead. And I learned about
it on Facebook.
I know this speaks as much to
our social media culture as it does
the poor communication of my
family. To my Aunts credit, she had
just lost her brother. She was griev-
ing and whether the information
trickled down to me understand-
ably was not in the forefront of
her mind. She was mourning her
brotherher best friend.
My uncle Doug passed away late
last week at the age of 43. For
some in my family, his death came
as no surprise. He struggled. A
year ago, he lost his 5-year-old son
Austin suddenly to a rare virus.
Unable to fully cope with his sons
untimely and tragic death, Doug
chose destructive means to allevi-
ate his sufferingsomething that
many people choose to do despite
that fact that help is often not too
far away.
His death did not stem from lack
of support from my family. His
mother and others tried to help the
best they could. The problem was
Doug never grabbed ahold of their
outstretched hands. He tried to
fix something that he alone could
not fix.
His death forced me to pause
and reflect. The paradox of our
social media world is fairly clear.
Despite our amazingly intercon-
nected world, a virtual world is
very alienating when one seeks
empathy through a computer
screen. Facebook and Twitter pro-
vide a social benefit, but they can
never offer the same compassion
as an eye-to-eye chat, or the simple
touch of a hand.
In an ever-encroaching digi-
tal world, its important to estab-
lish boundaries and to know
what belongs in the virtual world
and what should be said in the
real world. A quick IM should
not replace a discussion that
should be had over lunch at the
Underground.
For me, I need to refocus on
whats important, which is for the
most part in the real world, and
disinvest in the small things, such
as participating too much in my
virtual world.
The college life is fun and excit-
ing, as well as stressful and difficult
at times. There is always someone
to talk to face-to-face, or over the
phone. If you feel like no one is
available when you need to talk,
the university offers confidential
counseling and psychological ser-
vices at Watkins Memorial Health
Center. To make an appointment,
call 785-864-CAPS.

PREGAME

When Neil Armstrong became
the first person to set foot on the
moon, on July 20, 1969, he uttered
a phrase that has been carved in
stone and quoted across the planet:
Thats one small step for man; one
giant leap for mankind.
The grainy black-and-white tele-
vision images of him taking his
first lunar stroll were watched by
an estimated 600 million people
worldwide _ and firmly established
him as one of the great heroes of
the 20th century.
Armstrong, who had heart sur-
gery in early August, died Saturday
in Cincinnati at 82, said NASA
spokesman Bob Jacobs. The cause
was complications from cardio-
vascular procedures, his family
announced.
For the usually taciturn
Armstrong, the poetic statement
was a rare burst of eloquence, a
sound bite for the ages that only
increased his fame. He was never
comfortable with celebrity he saw
as an accident of fate, for stepping
on the moon ahead of fellow astro-
naut Edwin Buzz Aldrin. The
reticent, self-effacing Armstrong
would shun the spotlight for much
of the rest of his life.
In a rare public appearance, in
2000, Armstrong cast himself in
another light: I am, and ever will
be, a white-sock, pocket-protector,
nerdy engineer.
History would beg to disagree.
In a statement, President Barack
Obama said that when Armstrong
stepped on the moon, he delivered
a moment of human achievement
that will never be forgotten.
His biographer, James R. Hansen,
called Armstrong one of the best-
known and least-understood peo-
ple on the planet.
When asked to describe the astro-
naut in just a few words, Hansen
told Ohios Columbus Dispatch in
2005 that Armstrong was stoic,
self-controlled, dedicated, earnest,
hardworking and honest.
Neil Alden Armstrong was born
Aug. 5, 1930, on his grandfathers
farm near Wapakoneta, Ohio, and
had a happy and conventional
upbringing.
His civil servant father, Stephen
Armstrong, audited county records
in Oho and later served as assistant
director of the Ohio Mental Hygiene
and Corrections Department. The
family of his mother, Viola, owned
the farm.
For more than a decade, his fam-
ily moved around Ohio to accom-
modate his fathers job before set-
tling down in Wapakoneta.
A good student, Armstrong
was a much-decorated Boy Scout
and played the baritone horn in a
school band. But aviation always
came first.
In 1945, he started taking flying
lessons, paying for them by work-
ing as a stock clerk at a drugstore.
On his 16th birthday, he got his
pilots license but didnt yet have a
drivers license.
After flight training, Armstrong
was assigned to the carrier Essex,
flying combat missions over North
Korea. Although one of the Panther
jets he flew off the carrier was
crippled by enemy fire, he nursed
the plane back over South Korea
before bailing out safely.
By 1963, NASA was striving to
fulfill President John F. Kennedys
goal of beating the Soviet Union
in the space race and putting an
American on the moon before the
end of the decade. Kennedy want-
ed some civilian astronauts, and
Armstrong was one of the first.
In 1966, he made his first space
flight, with fellow astronaut David
R. Scott. Their ship, Gemini 8, was
docking with an unmanned Agena
rocket when a malfunctioning
thruster sent the interlocked space
vehicles tumbling uncontrollably.
Unperturbed, Armstrong dis-
connected the two vehicles, brought
Gemini 8 back under control and
made a safe emergency landing in
the Pacific. NASA officials cited his
extraordinary piloting skill and
took note of his calm.
Two years later, a lunar land-
ing training vehicle Armstrong was
piloting suffered control failure just
200 feet off the ground. Armstrong
ejected, parachuting to safety.
On Jan. 1, 1969, he was named
commander of Apollo 11, the first
manned spaceship scheduled to
land on the moon. His crewmates
were fellow space veterans Aldrin
and Michael Collins.
Five months later, the massive
Apollo 11 spaceship was nudged
carefully onto the launch pad in
Cape Canaveral, Fla., at Kennedy
Space Center.
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 blast-
ed off. Two and a half hours later,
after an orbit and a half around
the Earth, onboard rockets fired to
send the spaceship on its three-day
trip to the moon. Once in lunar
orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin clam-
bered into the Eagle and descended
toward the lunar surface, leaving
Collins to circle above them.
On July 20, 1969, at 1:04:40 p.m.
Pacific Daylight Time, the small
spacecraft came to rest gently near
the moons dry Sea of Tranquillity.
Six hours and 52 minutes later, as
an onboard television camera sent
grainy but stunning images back
for the world to see, Armstrong
became the first human to set foot
on lunar soil.
His famous quote that would
reverberate through time was actu-
ally missing a word, Armstrong
said soon after returning to Earth.
As he gazed down at his foot-
print, the first made by a human
on the moon, Armstrong said that
he intended to say one small step
for a man and thought that was
what he had said. In a rare 1999
interview, he admitted he could
not hear the a when he listened
to the radio transmission as it trav-
eled almost a quarter million miles
back to Earth.
Nasa HurricaNe isaac
residents prepare
for tropical storm
KEY WEST, Fla. Tropical
Storm Isaac gained fresh muscle
Sunday as it bore down on the
Florida Keys, with forecasters
warning it could grow into a dan-
gerous Category 2 hurricane as it
nears the northern Gulf Coast.
Isaac drew new strength early
Sunday during a warm-water
crossing of the Florida Straits
after causing weekend havoc in
Cuba, where it downed trees and
power lines. Before that, Isaac was
blamed for four deaths in Haiti.
On Key West, locals followed
time-worn storm prepared-
ness rituals while awaiting the
storm after Isaac swamped the
Caribbean and shuffled plans
for the Republican National
Convention. Forecasters said the
storm was expected to reach the
archipelago sometime Sunday at
or near hurricane strength.
A steady line of cars moved
north Saturday along the Overseas
Highway, the only road linking the
Florida Keys. Residents boarded
up windows, laid down sandbags
and shuttered businesses ahead
of the approaching storm. Even
Duval Street, Key Wests storied
main drag, was subdued for a
weekend, though not enough to
stop music from playing or drinks
from being poured.
Well just catch every place
thats open, said Ted Lamarche,
a 48-year-old pizzeria owner
visiting Key West to celebrate
his anniversary with his wife,
Deanna. They walked along
Duval Street, where a smattering
of people still wandered even as
many storefronts were boarded
up and tourists sported ponchos
and yellow slickers.
Category None! one man
shouted in a show of optimism.
The Keys were bracing storm
surge of up to four feet, strong
winds and the possibility of tor-
nadoes. The island chains two
airports closed Saturday night,
and volunteers and some resi-
dents began filing into shelters.
This is a huge inconvenience,
said Dale Shelton, a 57-year-old
retiree in Key West who was stay-
ing in a shelter.
A hurricane warning was in
effect for the Keys, including the
Dry Tortugas and for the west
coast of Florida from Bonita
Beach south to Ocean Reef,
among some other areas, authori-
ties said.

leap for mankind with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died,
according to his family, on saturday. He was 82.

essentially work like student-run
business centers. The idea is that
students will propose projects to
a Board of Directors, which will
then hire a team to create, market,
and execute their business plan
that will further be reviewed by the
board after their term expires.
While there are plenty of details
to work out, the hope is that long-
term, the experience will benefit-
students and provide an outlet to
apply things they have learned.
I think for the most part we
want to get everything implement-
ed and get the ball rolling before
this spring, Joyce said.
Other platforms include a tail-
gate recycling program, making
more information about classes
(including grading policies and
textbooks) available before enroll-
ment, starting a career week at the
University and creating a student
enrichment fund so students may
apply for grants to fund opportuni-
ties for learning outside of KU.

P
eople always ask me why I love
baseball so much.
How can you love a game
thats so boring? they ask. The games
are too long and nothing happens.
Thats when I start to lose it. I may
not show it, but on the inside Im
furious.
Want to know why I love this game
so much? Ill tell you why.
Baseball is a mental sport. In every
other sport, a clock determines the
outcome of the game. Every point
scored, every play made, must happen
within a set amount of time.
In baseball, you wont find a single
clock or buzzer. Games can last two,
four or even seven hours. Its up to the
players on the field to determine how
long a game will last. As soon as the
pitcher steps foot on the mound, its
up to him and his catcher to figure out
how to get that ball from his hand, past
the batter and into the catchers mitt
for a strike.
If theyre able to do that consistently,
theyll most likely come out on
top. Meanwhile, the batter is doing
everything he can to prevent that
from happening by getting inside the
pitchers mind and looking for a pitch
he can hit.
Its also no secret that hitting a
baseball is one of the toughest things to
do in sports, if not the toughest.
Imagine trying to hit a 95 mph
fastball. In order to successfully make
good contact with the ball, you only
have a fraction of time to put the barrel
of the bat to the ball. If youre even a
millimeter off, it can be the difference
between a foul ball and a home run.
Thats why in baseball, a good batting
average is around .300, which means
getting three hits for every ten at-bats.
For those who say the game is
boring, I say this: Just because there
arent at least 10 runs every single game
doesnt mean its not worth watching.
If batters are striking out and no one
is hitting the ball, people might find
the game boring. However, if they just
watch the other half of the game, theyd
see that theres a good reason why they
cant hit the ball: The pitcher for the
opposing team is having a great game.
So in reality, theres never a bad game.
While the players on the field
maneuver strategies in each inning to
drive runners in, the atmosphere in the
stadium only adds to the beauty of the
game. Theres something special about
seeing a game in front of a packed
crowd. For three hours, fans from all
around the country come together and
put whatever distractions they might
have in their lives to the side and lose
themselves in the game. Thats because,
for those three hours, nothing else
matters. All that matters is that their
team comes out on top.
If you take the time to look around
the stadium, you will find something
new that you didnt notice before. From
the freshly cut grass, to the smell of
grilled hot dogs to seeing a father and
son enjoy their first game together, it
really doesnt get any better.
It is Americas pastime after all.

On Friday, the Kansas soccer
team did something it hadnt
done in almost three years: beat
a top 25 team. To make the win
even better, it was against the
Georgia Bulldogs, the team that
knocked the Jayhawks out of the
NCAA tournament last year.
The freshmen on the team
were not a part of last seasons
loss to the Bulldogs, but for
returning players, this game had
a little more meaning than most
regular season matches.
I think that everyone had
that in the back of their mind,
said junior forward Caroline
Kastor. I mean, they ended our
season last year. This year, we
didnt want them to come away
with a win.
The match ended in a shutout
as senior Kat Liebetrau and
the rest of the team played a
great game defensively. Despite
missing starting left back senior
Cassie Dickerson, who was
injured against Northwestern
last Sunday.
Sophomore Haley Yearout
got the nod to start in place of
the injured Jayhawk, and coach
Mark Francis said she took the
opportunity by the horns.
Haley was unbelievable
today, Francis said. That is
the first game she has ever
played left back. Today, she was
great, and we expect that out of
her now, knowing what she is
capable of.
It was a defensive struggle
throughout the match, with
the lone goal coming in the
22nd minute as Kastor was
able to bury a rebound after a
corner kick was mishandled by
Georgias keeper.
The goal didnt come easy for
Kastor, but she doesnt mind
working for her shot.
I just saw it as an opportunity
to fight for the ball and something
good is always going to come
from fighting for the ball as you
can see from the outcome of the
game, Kastor said.
The Jayhawks were able to keep
possession of the ball for most of
the game, but the opportunity to
score did not present itself very
clearly with only three shots on
goal. However, they were able
to grind out the win on the
defensive side of the ball, and
that is fine with Francis.
I think today, we had to
defend a little bit more today
than in the previous two games,
Francis said. If we dont bring
the fight that we brought for 90
minutes today, then we dont
win that game.

Senior quarterback Dayne
Crist has a second chance. His
time playing in Notre Dame did
not go how he thought
it would; he stepped
onto the gridiron in
nine games in 2010 and
four games in 2011.
However, barring
injury, Crist will be
the starting quarter-
back this season for the
Jayhawks, and he has
coach Charlie Weis support.
This could be a wonderful
story, and Id like to be writing
it, Weis said. Not for me, but for
him, because Im a very, very big
fan of the young man.
Although Crist is a transfer
student, he is familiar with Weis.
Crist asked for advice from Brady
Quinn, who played football in
Notre Dame when Weis was the
coach. Crist and Quinn met in
Lawrence before Quinn signed
with the Kansas City Chiefs in
March.
Quinn said that Crist, who has
one year of eligibility left, would
be an asset to the Jayhawks.
Im a huge fan of Dayne,
Quinn said. KU is very fortunate
to have that kid, and I know he
is going to do great things this
season. Hes got all the intangibles
and all the ability. He just needs
the opportunity, and I think he
is going to get that this
season. I think with
coach Weis, hopefully
its where he is going to
flourish.
Crist has made a
smooth transition into
a new school and foot-
ball program because of
his familiarity with Weis
and the Notre Dame football pro-
gram.
He really likes it here, Weis
said. Remember now, the kid
hasnt had the best few years. Just
when hes getting ready to be the
man, the head coach gets canned.
You come in, new system, you
dont fit and it didnt go so well.
Crist is now part of an offense
with a veteran offensive line, with
whom he has established a rap-
port. In his career, Crist has com-
pleted 58 percent of his passes,
and has thrown for 2,327 yards,
16 touchdowns and nine inter-
ceptions.

Football NotEs
Coach Charlie Weis announced that
junior long snapper Justin Carnes has
been suspended for the frst three
games of the 2012 season for violat-
ing a team rule. As I have previ-
ously stated, every player on our team
knows and understands our rules and
regulations, Weis said. They also
know the consequences for violations
of those rules and regulations.
Carnes was the long snapper for the
Jayhawks in 10 games last season.
He was listed at the top of the depth
chart and was projected to be the
teams starting long snapper going
into the September 1 game against
South Dakota State.
Former Jayhawk tight end Tim Biere
was released by the Kansas City
Chiefs on Sunday, along with 13 other
players. The Chiefs now have 75 play-
ers on the roster.

tOP NewcOMeRS:
The Red Raiders roped in
two four-star wide receivers
who could complement lead-
ing receiver Eric Ward. Regi-
nald Davis and Dominique
Wheeler, native Texans, lead
Texas Techs 2012 class along
with defensive end Michael
Starts. Davis and Wheeler
both stand 6-foot-1-inch,
and while Davis has a slightly
faster 40-yard dash, Wheeler
makes up for it with a few ex-
tra pounds. Of the receivers,
only Ward broke the 800-yard
mark, so any help downfeld
will make life easier for senior
Seth Doege.

OVeRVIew:
Texas Tech isnt in the
same boat as Kansas, but its
certainly sharing the same
ocean. The Red Raiders have
fnished one place above Kan-
sas each of the last two sea-
sons. The disconnect with the
Raiders begins on defense. In
2011, they ranked 117th in the
nation for points against. To
stop the bleeding, Texas Tech
brought in former University
of North Carolina defensive
coordinator Art Kaufman. In
Chapel Hill, Kaufman imple-
mented a system that helped
the Tar Heels rank 48th in to-
tal defense. He is Texas Techs
fourth defensive coordinator
in as many years.

StORY tO wAtch:
Can the Red Raiders fnally
get their defense together?
Art Kaufman was Texas Tech
coach Tommy Tubervilles
defensive coordinator at Ole
Miss in the late 1990s will
the two be able to recreate
their chemistry? And can
Kaufman make it to that elu-
sive second season as the
Raiders defensive coach?
With Doeges ability to throw
more than 4,000 yards, it all
comes back to the defense.

theY SAID It:
Just being here a couple
of years, everybody said:
Youre on the hot seat. Id like

Notre Dame transfer
to start as quarterback
PAGe 9
There are many determining
factors that will decide how suc-
cessful this Kansas football team
can be.
Many perceive senior quarter-
back Dayne Crist as the missing
piece to the Kansas offense. The
wide receiver core has plenty
of talent with three seniors in
D.J. Beshears, Kale Pick and
Daymond Patterson. Even the
backfield features three solid
running backs, which include
junior James Sims and sopho-
mores Tony Pierson and Brandon
Bourbon.
These elements, however, are
not the answer to the Jayhawks
problems. The answer lies in the
trenches, and it starts with the
offensive line.
Yes, the big guys up front may
not receive all the glory, but
offensive linemen are extremely
crucial to a teams success. Their
ability to protect the quarterback
are two main attributes that
many programs look for.
The Jayhawks have experi-
ence with tackle and team cap-
tain Tanner Hawkinson, guard
Duane Zlatnik and center Trevor
Marrongelli. All three of these
linemen are fifth-year seniors,
with Zlatnik and Hawkinson
starting the last 20 games togeth-
er. This unit will rely on that
experience to help protect Crist.
Now for the bad. Protecting
the quarterback has been a
struggle at Kansas. Last year, the
offensive line failed to provide
any sort of protection, allowing
former quarterback Jordan Webb
to be sacked 31 times.
Webb was tied for 13th in the
nation for getting sacked the
most, and sadly, the numbers get
worse. Last season, the Kansas
offensive line allowed 2.58 sacks
per game, a mark that tied with
Indiana for 96th in the country
in sacks allowed.
Those are alarming numbers,
but maybe the line will be extra
motivated this season to turn
things around.
At the University of Notre
Dame, quarterback Dayne Crist
had his moments, but battled
injuries back in 2009 and 2010.
The line should be motivated to
protect a vital part of the offense
that has battled injuries in the
past. If the line allows 30 or more
sacks like last season, Crist wont
be able to stand or succeed for
his one year to shine.
The 2011 offense must
improve after averaging a dismal
167 passing yards, good for 101st
in the nation. The Jayhawks also
need to score more points, only
averaging 22 points per game last
season, 95th in the nation.
If the Jayhawks have any shot
at improving those numbers,
it all starts and ends with the
big guys up front. With the
leadership and experience in
the trenches, the offensive line
should be primed and ready to be
the cornerstones of the Jayhawk
offense.

The volleyball team played
three solid games statistically
at the Arkansas Invitational in
Fayetteville, Ark., during the
weekend. However, costly errors
during the title match against
Arkansas left the Jayhawks
with a 2-1 record as a result.
The Jayhawks defeated the
Northwestern State Lady Demons
in their first match Friday night
3-0, and defeated the Tennessee-
Martin Skyhawks also 3-0.
They took the first set against
Arkansas 25-18 and had set
point in the second set after an
ace by junior middle blocker
Marianne Beal. Yet a 5-1 run by
the Razorbacks lost them the
set, which set the tone for the
rest of the night. Arkansas won
the close match 3-1, despite a
statistical advantage for the
Jayhawks in hitting percentage,
service aces, blocks and digs.
There were times tonight
where we were dominant, coach
Ray Bechard said. We were in a
great position a couple of times, but
this is a very good Arkansas team.
The third set was similar to
the second, as the Jayhawks saw
a 23-19 advantage end up in a
26-24 set loss. The Razorbacks
used their momentum to build
a comfortable lead in the fourth
set before withstanding a des-
perate Kansas rally. Senior out-
side hitter Jasmine Norton paced
Arkansas with a game-high of
20 kills against the Jayhawks.
Serving was key during the
Arkansas match. The Jayhawks
had four aces and 11 service
errors, while Arkansas had one
ace and eight errors. Although
Kansas had a better ratio,
Bechard said the timing of the
Jayhawks errors hurt them.
Obviously, I think we had
one at set point, Bechard said.
Thats a big no-no. Im not that
disappointed in the number as I
am maybe the timing of them.
During the tournament,
Bechard varied his starting line-
ups 14 Jayhawks played and
most players had a significant
effect. Redshirt junior outside
hitter Catherine Carmichael had
29 kills during the tournament,
including a career-high 14 kills
against Arkansas. Carmichael had
37 kills last season. Sophomore
outside hitter Sara McClinton con-
tributed 35 kills as well, including
a career-high of 16 kills against
the Razorbacks. Defensively,
junior defensive specialist
Brianne Riley recorded 66 digs,
which earned her the tourna-
ments outstanding libero honor.
Junior setter Erin McNorton
may have had the most impres-
sive tournament for Kansas. She
entered the tournament with 129
career assists, but set a new career-
high in each of the three match-
es, notching 131 assists for the
tournament. McNorton said she
was able to get that many assists
because the Jayhawks made solid
contact on almost all of their hits.
I think our passes were
really good, McNorton said.
Our first contact is some-
thing that we always work on.
Senior middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree also starred in
the Northwestern State match,
recording seven kills and a .700
hitting percentage, leading the
team to a .364 overall hitting
percentage, easily outdistancing
Northwestern States .019 per-
centage. She followed that up with
another hitting percentage .412
against Tennessee-Martin and
had a .368 percentage against
Arkansas to go with eight blocks.
Redshirt junior Caroline
Jarmoc, a preseason All-Big 12
team selection, had 34 kills, 11
digs and 12 blocks. She spear-
headed a strong team offensive
performance throughout the
tournament, as she, McClinton,
sophomore outside hitter Chelsea
Albers, Tolefree and Carmichael
all had at least one match with nine
blocks. Jarmoc said the Jayhawks
court positioning keyed their
strong offensive performance.
I think maintaining spac-
ing from the net and getting
our feet to the ball was a huge
thing, obviously, Jarmoc said.
The Jayhawks begin a seven-
match home stand this Friday
at 11:30 a.m. when they host
Sam Houston State in the Kansas
Volleyball Invitational at the
Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas will also host Tulsa and
Arkansas State during the tourna-
ment.

Freshman forward courtney Dickerson races to beat the Unlv goalie to the ball on sunday aug. 26 at the Jayhawk soccer
complex. the Jayhawks defeated the rebels 3-0.
The Kansas soccer team beat
the UNLV Rebels 3-0 on Sunday
in the final game of the Kansas
Invitational. Senior forward/mid-
fielder Whitney Berry had a goal
and two assists, while freshman
forward Courtney Dickerson
scored her first goal as a Jayhawk.
Kansas started the game slow-
ly and struggled to possess the
ball during the opening half hour
before Berry opened the scoring.
She received the ball from a UNLV
clearance and curled a right-footed
shot into the upper corner, leaving
the goalie rooted to the ground.
The Jayhawks did not look back
and took over the game in the
second half. Dickerson and sopho-
more forward Jamie Fletcher each
scored on assists from Berry as the
Jayhawks improved their record
to 4-1 on the season. The team
ended the weekend with two wins
both shutouts despite the
absence of senior defender Cassie
Dickerson.
We fought hard all weekend,
we were able to get two wins in one
weekend, Berry said.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks
dropped the second game of the
tournament to Northwestern, but
this time, there was no letdown
after beating No. 24 Georgia on
Friday night.
For us to achieve the goals the
kids set at the beginning of the
year, we cant split on weekends,
coach Mark Francis said.
Fletcher and Berry caused UNLV
problems all day and Dickerson
had the best game of her young
career as the three combined for 15
of the Jayhawks 23 shots.
UNLV struggled to create scor-
ing chances as the Kansas defense
got its second straight shutout.
Senior goalie Kat Liebetrau made
four saves.
She is now confident about
coming out, Francis said when
discussing her command of the
box.
Among the great performances
for the Jayhawks was sophomore
defender Caroline Van Slambrouck,
who got forward from her left
back position to contribute to the
Jayhawks offense all afternoon.
Senior forward/midfielder Haley
Yearout, who started the game, left
in the 33rd minute after suffering
a slight tweak in her leg during the
first half.
She probably could have played
her if we had to, Francis said. We
decided to keep her out rather than
making it worse, let her get bet-
ter and that way by Tuesday and
Wednesday she will be back at it.
The Jayhawks will play Creighton
on Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer
Complex before a Sunday after-
noon game against Arizona State.
The standard is winning for
us, Berry said. I think overall,
mentally and physically, everyone
is here and going to come out and
do their best no matter what.
