kmcbride@kansan.com Of all the reasons to eat healthy, 11-year-old Gentry Dennisons logic is hard to dispute. If you just eat ice cream and cookies all the time, you wont get taller, Gentry said. He was one of ten children, ranging from ages 6 to 13, and seven parents from the Lawrence area who attended the first cooking class organized by Hannah Temple and Leah Charles, 2013 graduates of the University and Americorps members. Temple and Charles are offering a series of cooking classes to families interested in expanding their knowledge on healthy eating. The program is a five-class course that will take place until July 2014. During the first class on Tuesday night, Charles took half of the group to the kitchen, while Temple gave the other half a lesson on nutrition. Halfway through, the groups switched. In the kitchen, before any of the food preparation began, Charles discussed the importance of taking precautions, both for safety and for cleanliness, while working in the kitchen.
...if theyre interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, theyre going to eat it.

from the kitchen counters. But as they began to add the ingredients to the pot one by one, their excitement grew and they began to shoot their arms in the air when a volunteer was needed, shouting eagerly, Let me do it! In between adding ingredients, Charles explained how to measure ingredients and use various cooking utensils. The children carefully opened cans, mixed ingredients and leveled off measurements of spices. They politely offered each other turns at adding ingredients. As Charles held out a measure-
interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, theyre going to eat it, Temple said. Temple and Charles also stressed that eating healthy is possible on a budget and one benefit of having the parents attend the class is for them to see that nutritious and filling meals can be done inexpensively. They added that it was important to them to motivate families to connect and bond at home over cooking and eating. Its good to have the families come in and interact together, Charles said. Gentry said he likes to cook grilled cheese sandwiches and cakes with his mom. Tuesdays lesson and the ones to follow will introduce him to many more meals he can create at home. The course will take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Temple and Charles are currently seeking volunteers to assist with the classes. Those interested in learning more, signing up kids or helping volunteer should contact Hannah Temple at htemps@gmail. com. Edited by Kayla Overbey

signicant positive economic impact, but is currently unable to do so with its dated structures. There have been numerous proposed solutions to the issue, one of which includes the demolition of Wichita's iconic Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center. We took to the streets to nd out what Wichita-area students think of the possible destruction of this historic landmark. Edited by Chas Strobel

"I could see why some would want to do that, but I love Century II. I grew up going to boat shows and plays with my dad there." - Kaitlyn Morgan, freshman, Wichita
"In the long run, it would be more benecial if the demolition resulted in the increased income. But, at the same time, it'd still be devastating to the people of Wichita." - Shelby Bettles, freshman, Wichita
"It's sad because a lot of performances, concerts and graduations have happened there. But if it brings in a lot of new revenue, then why not?" - Tessa Aldag, junior, Wichita
"The Century II building is a Wichita landmark and I think tearing it down would affect the image that downtown Wichita has worked for. If we need a convention center, I think a new facility should be built, hopefully on the river, or Century II could just be renovated." - Jenny Rider, junior, Wichita

federal form and did not prove their citizenship would be allowed to vote in only national elections. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union has warned the two states that it plans to pursue legal action, after a Supreme Court case in June ruled against Arizonas rejection of federally registered voters who had not proven their citizenship. Its possible that non-citizen voting in Kansas is actually the largest problem in the state, one that justifies spending money on legal battles and registration paperwork at a time when the state is cutting funds for education, health care and social services. Its possible that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach could produce evidence that voter fraud is a
significant problem in the state, and chooses not to so that the rest of us can sleep more easily at night. Its possible that he truly believes the answer he gave when Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita asked Kobach how to feasibly collect the required documents during a voter registration drive (carry a copy machine with you) is the best model for preserving the Kansan democratic tradition. Its possible, but I dont think its particularly likely. The best way to avoid problems that could hamper your voting is to make sure that you are registered far in advance of an election. Kansans can visit gotvoterid.com to check their registration status and learn how and where they can provide the necessary documents. After they have proven their citizenship once, they do not have to do so if they re-register in the future to update residence or party affiliation (remember, voters must re-register each time they change address). When Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 1995, she reminded her followers of the importance of tolerating differing
political viewpoints, saying We will surely get to our destination if we join hands. Young Kansans now have the opportunity to join hands to help their friends and family members exercise their constitutional right to participate in elections. Mentioning the citizenship requirements to friends registering for the first time can spread knowledge that the requirement exists in the first place. Taking ten minutes together to stop by the Douglas County Courthouse on Massachusetts Street is easy; scanning and emailing your documents to the information posted on gotvoterid. com is too. Hopefully, Kansans can work together to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote on Election Day, regardless of how inconvenient that new extra step might be.

YouTube Music Awards detract Break out of traditional from live concert experience roles in relationships
What does The Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style and The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) have in common? My immediate response would be that they are all crimes against humanity. However, other than being agonizingly annoying, these songs among others have been deemed as YouTube sensations. I guarantee that you have seen or heard at least one, if not all, of these videos. While I admittedly watched countless Harlem Shake videos on my own time, I accidentally saw a clip of Gangnam Style on the news last year and was unknowingly shown the ear-numbing The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) by a friend. Regardless of whether Id seen the viral videos or not, I certainly had heard of them all within a week of their upload. To praise these videos with further acclaim, the very first YouTube Music Awards ceremony however unceremonious it may have been took place this past Sunday. Having been inundated with articles from every major publication that covered the event in the past 24 hours, I couldnt help but wonder, when did YouTube become such a prominent force in the music industry? YouTube was founded in 2005, and though memory often fails me, I am fairly certain that the first time I watched a video on the platform wasnt until 2008. I remember this because the video
GENDER
By Lyndsey Havens
lhavens@kansan.com
I watched was of a young Justin Bieber singing Chris Browns With You in a basement. At the time, the video had well under one thousand views. I decided to recently revisit the video and as of today, it has well over 45 million views. Personally, I think that it is safe to say Justin Bieber was one of, if not the first, official YouTube music phenomena. I will not refute the fact that bringing awareness to (what was once) great talent is a good thing. My issue with YouTubes involvement in the music industry is that it inadvertently contradicts movements such as Record Store Day and the Affordable Ticket Act, which aim to get music fans in front of a crate of vinyl or a stage, as opposed to a computer screen. Over one billion users visit YouTube each month, and according to YouTubes statistics page, over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube thats almost an hour for every person on Earth. Thinking about the hours that I alone have clocked into YouTubes statistics, I realize that the
video platform impacts the music industry both positively and negatively. YouTube has become a reliable and authentic outlet to market emerging musical talent, yet along the way YouTube has also provided an inauthentic outlet for music fans to support musicians with views rather than purchases. Its great, of course, that music festivals and events such as the YouTube Music Awards offer live streaming because they invite anyone and everyone into the experience. While this provides an affordable, comfortable and reasonable alternative for many, it can never amount to a sufficient substitute. The YouTube Music awards attempted to maintain a level of live entertainment by streaming an unrehearsed, organic awards show, and if I were there, Im sure I would have enjoyed and fed into the spontaneity of it all. But since I was watching it all play out in my bed with the heat from my laptop radiating onto my legs, I soon lost interest and simply exited out. It is far more rewarding for an artist to look into a crowd of fans singing along with the lyrics, than it is to stare into a screen and count the number of fans that view a video. No story, photo or live stream can compare to the value of physical presence. Lyndsey Havens is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Chicago.
fter asking me whether or not I was seeing anyone, a friends mother once comforted me by saying, Guys in college arent looking for anything serious. They just want to run around and have fun they arent ready to commit to girls they actually want to end up with. Youre the girl theyll want to take home to their moms theyll come around in a few years and then youll have men lining up to take you out. Im not exactly sure what prompted this revelation from my friends mother, nor am I clear on exactly why I should find this comforting, but its a comment that I have thought a lot about since then. There are a lot of things I see wrong with this philosophy, but beyond the presumption again that being in a relationship is something to strive for, the thing that bothers me most about this statement is the gender stereotyping. I recently re-watched Disneys The Little Mermaid for my thesis project (because deep down, Im still five years old) and the most striking thing about the film was Ursulas drag show during Poor Unfortunate Souls. In it, she reveals pretty blatantly that gender is very much a performance. Thinking back to this mothers bit of consolation for me, I realized that it isnt that all guys have this no-responsibilities, party-while-were-young attitude, but rather that its what we expect from guys at this age. In fact, thinking about a lot of expectations of both genders, I realized that a lot of the assumptions and attitudes we take on because of our genders are performances. Women tend do more stereotypical girly things like wearing make-up, dressing nicely and looking for serious relationships because thats what we associate with being female. Whereas men tend to be more interested in sports, working out and maintaining casual

relationships because thats what society tells us men should be like. Now obviously these generalizations are not necessarily accurate in the depiction of each man and woman I myself love basketball just as much as every other Kansas diehard, and I know lots of guys who are in serious, committed relationships but the point is that our genders and the way we perform them is very much an aspect of nurture, not nature. It is perfectly acceptable to be a girly-girl or a mans man, but its also important to recognize these depictions as choices and performances, and not inherent divisions between the sexes. Thus, I reiterate the inherent problem with my friends mothers quote. Generalizing that all men in college dont want to date mom-worthy girls assumes 1) that there are certain aspects of performing the female gender that make some women more dateable/marriage-worthy than others, 2) these aspects are somehow tied into the idea of being a good girl, and 3) men in college are wild and immature, and only age and time will tame them. To that, I say: Be who you want to be. If you identify as a woman, but you feel like more of the man in your relationships, more power to you! If youre a guy, but you are sensitive to others emotions or you cry easily, that doesnt make you less of a man. Anyone who doesnt recognize their choices about their gender as a performance are simply poor, unfortunate souls. Tasha Cerny is a senior majoring in English from Salina.

Wayne Selden, Jr., guard
After a relatively quiet rst game, Selden got to the bucket with ease all night. He tied for the team-high with 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting. While we went 3-6 from the free throw line, lets instead focus on the fact that he got to the charity stripe six times in limited action.
NOTES
With the win over Fort Hays State, Kansas is now undefeated in 40 exhibition games dating back to 1994. Fort Hays State went more than four minutes at the start of the second half without scoring a single point. The Jayhawks have now scored 90 or more points against the Tigers in eight games.

MARK FRANCIS Coach
In their first two seasons in the conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers have made a splash in the Big 12. They also won the regular season title and were seeded first in the tournament last year. They did not fare well in post-season play last year. They faced eighth-seeded TCU last year and were blanked by the Horned Frogs 0-2. TCU went on to compete in the title game where it fell to Baylor. Kansas also lost its first-round game last year, falling 0-2 to Texas Tech. If the Jayhawks get past the Mountaineers, they will advance to the semifinals, which will be against the winner of todays Baylor and Iowa State matchup. The semifinals will take place on Friday and the title game will be played on Sunday. Edited by Emma McElhaney

Russias booster rocket, Soyuz-FG, will carry new crew to the International Space Station. For the rst time, it will carry an Olympic torch to space as part of the ongoing Olympic torch relay. The rocket is scheduled to blast off on Thursday. FALLING BACK TO EARTH The torch will stay in space for five days until the returning crew takes it back to Earth next Monday, when Russian Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency plan to land in Kazakhstan. JUST PART OF THE JOURNEY The four-month Sochi torch relay, which started in Moscow on Oct. 7, is the longest in the history of the Olympics. For most of the 65,000-kilometer (39,000-mile) route, the flame will travel by plane, train, car and even reindeer sleigh, but 14,000 torch bearers are taking part in the relay that stops at more than 130 cities and towns. Last month, the Olympic flame traveled to the North Pole onboard a Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker. Later this month it will sink to the bottom of the world's deepest lake, Lake Baikal. In February, the torch will be taken to the peak of Mount Elbrus, at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet) the highest

ended when Tyler Hansbrough converted a pair of free throws. Bosh was unavailable following the birth Monday of his daughter, Dylan Skye Bosh. Shane Battier started in place of Bosh, who is expected to return when the Heat host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. With Bosh out, Toronto took advantage of Miami's small lineup early. Valanciunas had 10 points midway through the first as the Raptors opened a 17-8 lead. After a Heat timeout, James scored four straight baskets as Miami cut the gap to 25-23 after one quarter. Toronto led 45-34 after Valanciunas made a hook shot at 4:56 of the second, but James scored seven points as the Heat closed the half on a 18-5 run to take a 52-50 lead. Mario Chalmers hit a 3 with less than a second left, giving Miami the lead for the first time. Wade scored 10 points in the third and James had eight as the Heat took a four-point lead into the final quarter.

been holding teams to progressively lower field-goal percentages through this undefeated start. Detroit finished at 38 percent and could not overcome its poor showing from the perimeter. George made his first five shots and finished the first quarter with 12 points, helping the Pacers to a 29-14 lead. Then they were outscored 27-9 in the second. Jennings made his first start for the Pistons in his second game
with his new team. He was injured for the first two games of the season, and Detroit looked out of sorts offensively Tuesday. Josh Smith, another new acquisition this season for Detroit, scored 16 points but shot 5 of 16. He went 1 of 6 from beyond the arc. Indiana will try to extend its unbeaten run Wednesday night against Chicago.

Coaches say Tayler taking over for Tayler, Soucie said. Soucie, who is the second leading blocker for the Jayhawks behind senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, attributes her success this season to Jarmocs leadership and guidance from the team seniors. It has been good to have Caroline to learn from and have the support from the rest of the team, Soucie said. The road hasnt always been smooth for the freshman middle blocker, but shes learned a lot so far. I have to shake off mistakes and keep going, Soucie said. Youre going to have ups and youre going to have downs, but you have to keep playing. Keep working hard and it will pay off. Soucie, who had three consecutive double-digit kill games against Iowa State, Baylor and TCU, was the seventh Jayhawk to receive Big 12 Player of the Week this season. Earlier this season, Kansas almost faced a 2-0 deficit before the Jayhawks won three straight sets to win 3-1 in Morgantown, W. Va. Since joining the Big 12 Conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers, who are currently No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference, are 5-0 against the Jayhawks.

mcorte@kansan.com Piersons Potential If you dont practice, you dont play. This seems to be an age-old rule followed by many coaches and its no different with Charlie Weis. Last week against Texas, Tony Pierson warmed up and stretched in uniform hoping to play after not participating in practice all week. It seems he never got Weis memo. Pierson instead rode the bench as the Jayhawks fell 35-13. One has to question whether Tony could have helped a Kansas offense struggling to produce points, but coming off a concussion, it was smart for Weis to protect the short- and long-term health of his player rather than risk it for a win. This week Pierson practiced without a red jersey, meaning hes cleared from being monitored. It seems hell play this Saturday. The timing couldnt be better for Kansas as they prepare to face Oklahoma State a team scoring just over 40 points per game, good for No. 14 in the country. Pierson still leads the team in receptions with 21 after missing most of the Baylor game and all of the Texas game, so its no shock that Heaps and the Jayhawk offense desperately needed No. 3 back. James Sims and Darrian Miller will handle most of the carries in the back field, but if neither prove to be effective Pierson is more than capable of handling the rock. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry last season on 117 carries and has improved this year, averaging 6.7 yards per carry, albeit on only 12 carries. Simply put, Tony Pierson is the most diverse, dynamic player on this offense. Every coach loves an athlete with big play potential and Pierson has proved he can be that man in this offense. He hauled in the longest touchdown of the year for Kansas: a 77-yarder against Rice, which is 47 yards longer than any other Kansas touchdown on offense. The Jayhawks hope to use that big play potential against Oklahoma State this weekend in an attempt to beat the Cowboys for the first time since 2007. Splitting Field Goals Charlie Weis practiced two different field goal units last Wednesday for the first time in his 34-year coaching career, with Matthew Wyman taking first team reps. This week he will continue that trend by practicing two separate teams on field goals. However, heading into Stillwater, Okla., this Saturday, Ron Doherty will be the starting place kicker for Kansas. The switch happened after the first drive against Texas last Saturday when Wyman missed a 31-yard field goal with the ball hooking left from contact. Putting Doherty in proved to be the right decision, as the senior went 2-2 on field goals and knocked through his only extra point. Come gametime, Doherty will handle the short yardage field goals, but Wyman may be able to redeem himself and help Kansas by making the long ones. Weis stated in his press conference on Tuesday that if there was a field goal from around 55 yards in the Texas game, Wyman would have been sent out to kick it. Boone Pickens Stadium proved to be a tough environment to play in, and kicking will be no easy task against the Cowboys with 60,000 screaming fans. Every point is crucial in a football game and whether its Doherty or Wyman out there, theyll have to be on target if the Jayhawks want to come away with a victory. Anticipating the Cowboys Running the ball against Oklahoma State may prove to be tough for Kansas, with the Cowboys holding NCAA teams this season to 122.9 yards per game, good for No. 18 in the country. Weis was quick to point out in his press conference that Oklahoma State excels in defense because their best players are all right in the middle. This should be no surprise as the Cowboys had two players from their starting interior lineman, safety and middle linebacker positions selected to a Preseason All-Big 12 team. Of course, the Jayhawks have a solid rushing attack of their own, ranking No. 96 in the country, which places them in the top third

Piersons return should also help Kansas run the ball more effectively, as his speed in the passing game will keep most of the secondary from creeping up to stop the run. The Jayhawks run defense will also be tested on Saturday, as Oklahoma State boasts the 55th best rushing offense in the country, churning out 180 yards per game. Although Big 12 teams are known to spread out the ball and

throw, its the run game that opens the opportunity to make plays downfield. If Kansas is able to outrush Oklahoma State and give Heaps chances to throw, it could mean a win for the Jayhawks. If not, and Oklahoma State bullies Kansas to the ground, look for the Cowboys to control the ball and stay on cruise control all game. Edited by Kayla Overbey

f youre going to watch football one day this week, that day should be Thursday. I know what youre thinking. Dude, no way. Free cover at The Hawk. Or maybe its, Oh, what a cop-out because the Chiefs have a bye week. If you believe the former, then best of luck to you. Seriously.

But whether youre being lame and doing homework or sweating it out in a bar basement, college football is calling your name in a very BIG way on Thursday. The first top-10 matchup features a tenthranked Oklahoma traveling to Waco, Texas, to take on a sixth-ranked, undefeated Baylor team that has dominated on both sides of the football.

Oklahoma boasts a top-15 defense, and the matchup with Baylor should be excellent to watch. The winner will have only Texas and Oklahoma State to fend off for the Big 12 championship and a

t took more than 32 minutes into Tuesdays exhibition game against Fort Hays State for Kansas to finally churn out a complete play on both sides of the court. Andrew Wiggins skied to block a Tiger shot, rebounded it himself and slung the rock up court to fellow freshman Wayne Selden. As the lone Tiger defender approached, Selden smoothly dished it off to a streaking Perry Ellis in the lane. Two-handed slam. Mission complete. Ellis dunk put the Jayhawks up 32 points en route to a 92-75 victory in the teams final tune up before Fridays season opener. Yes, it is an exhibition game. And yes, none of this really matters. But the play was an awesome moment in the game for fans who are desperately awaiting a team to play elite. There is immense talent that is ready to be groomed by the nations best coach. In other words, the ingredients are mixed, but are not yet in the oven. The heat will come early, of course. Kansas boasts arguably the nations toughest nonconference schedule with slates against Duke, Florida, New Mexico, San Diego State and Georgetown. What fans will see in December wont be close to the product in March. Or Ill say it April. When Kansas comes hot out of the oven later this season, it will be a fine-tuned, uber-athletic, slashing, ferociously guarding machine. Itll be exactly that because Bill Self will have it no other way. He is a relentless perfectionist that demands the same from his team. But Self isnt the one defending and putting points on the board. And for this team to play up to the standards the impossible hype that has been created, the responsibility will largely fall on the shoulders of the three involved in Tuesdays most complete play. Ellis, of course, is the closest representation of Self s desired polished product. Hes a pure scorer that can put the ball in the basket in so many ways. More importantly, hes a precedent for what Wiggins and Selden are very capable of doing when March rolls around. Last season, Ellis showed both growing pains and blips of greatness throughout the year. But March arrived and Ellis was great when he came out the kitchen. The unknowns are Selden and Wiggins questions that need to turn into statements. Wiggins will need to be un-guardable. And theres no reason to say he isnt already there. His spin move is dizzying and it hardly takes a dribble to get from the 3-point line to the rim. The perimeter shooting is the only real knock on his game. Points will be a must from Selden. He led the team in scoring Tuesday with 13 in just 20 minutes of action. The new hand-check rules will play in favor of his slashing style and hell largely contribute from the free throw line. If Kansas is cutting down any sort of nets this year, Wiggins, Selden and Ellis will be the first up the ladder. Edited by Chas Strobel
