issue breakdown
bAlloT bATTlE
Election Day is one week away, campaign season is winding down, and many American voters have
chosen their candidates. However, for those of you who remain undecided, here is a breakdown
of the issues most important to young people. Take a look at where former Gov. Mitt Romney and
President barack obama stand on higher education, social issues and the economy in order to
make an informed decision on Nov. 6.

HigHer education
Burdett Loomis, a political sci-
ence professor, said both can-
didates are not spending much
time focusing on youth issues,
like student loan debt.
I think that issues we ordinar-
ily hear of like students loans are
almost irrelevant, Loomis said.
Theyre not spending time there
because they dont think there are
a lot of votes there.
However, Democratic state
Rep. Barbara Ballard said both
candidates are trying to appeal to
young voters.
They know that 18- to 29-year-
olds are crucial, she said. They
cant write off an important sect
of American society; they need to
give them a reason to vote.
In Jan. 2012, Obama spoke
at the University of Michigan
about the need for universities
to stop tuition increases. We
should push colleges to do bet-
ter, he said. We should hold
them accountable if they dont.
Higher education is still
on his radar. According to
barackobama.com, the presi-
dent plans to cut tuition growth
in half over the next 10 years
by expanding student aid and
working with states and uni-
versities. He invested about $2
billion in community colleges
and hopes to create a relation-
ship between community col-
leges and businesses to train 2
million Americans for employ-
ment. Obama has also pro-
posed a Pay As you Earn pro-
gram that would make federal
loans cheaper for low-income
borrowers by capping monthly
loan repayment at 10 percent
of discretionary income. To see
if you qualify for this program,
go to barackobama.com/educa-
tion-calculator.
According to mittromney.
com, the former Massachusetts
governor plans to simplify the
financial aid system. He would
like to cut federal spending;
instead of focusing on com-
munity or four-year colleges,
Romney thinks the U.S. should
turn its attention to skill train-
ing programs.
Loomis said he thinks
Romney would cut federal Pell
Grants if elected.
His sense is that he will
make the economy better and
that will be better for every-
body, Loomis said.

reproductive rigHts
Loomis said that each candi-
date has used social issues to
speak to their committed sup-
porters because most voters
already have clear preferences on
one side or the other. He also
said the candidates stance on
abortion restrictions may sway
peoples opinions.
Romney and Ryan are
talking about severe restric-
tions on abortion. There are peo-
ple arguing for no abortions for
rape or incest victims, Loomis
said. I think that cuts against the
values of most young people in a
general way.

According to Barackobama.
com, because of the Affordable
Health Care Act, some insur-
ance plans will fully cover birth
control without co-pays or
deductibles, as part of wom-
ens preventive care. The site
also reads, President Obama
believes a womans health care
choices are personal decisions,
best made with her doctor and
without interference from poli-
ticians.
According to Mitt Romneys
website, he is pro-life and views
abortion as a problem because
he believes life begins at concep-
tion; he wants the law to reflect
this idea. Romney would like
the Supreme Court to overturn
Roe v. Wade and have states
determine their own abortion
laws. Romney also supports the
Hyde Amendment, which bars
the use of federal funds for
abortions; he plans to end fed-
eral funding for abortion advo-
cates like Planned Parenthood.

university student
charged with battery
A 19-year-old University student
charged with aggravated battery
and four other charges appeared in
Douglas County District Court yes-
terday.
In addition to the aggravated bat-
tery charge, Won Mo Kang has been
charged with two counts of battery and
one count of criminal restraint and one
count of criminal damage to property
stemming from an oct. 16 incident.
Kang is currently released on bond.
The victim in the case asked District
Judge Sally Pokorny to change Kangs
no contact order to a no-violent con-
tact order. Pokorny
agreed, telling the
two they could see
each other as long
as there is no yell-
ing or violence of
any kind.
Kangs attor-
ney asked to continue the case, and
Pokorny scheduled a preliminary hear-
ing for Nov. 19.
Prosecutors allege the incidents
leading to Kangs arrest occurred
throughout the day on oct. 16, and
that Kang and the victim were on cam-
pus sometime during that day.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Romney delays campaign
ASSocIAtED PRESS
AVON LAKE, Ohio
Republican presidential candidate
Mitt Romney curtailed his cam-
paigning Monday as Hurricane
Sandy churned closer to the Eastern
Seaboard and he urged supporters
to donate to the Red Cross or other
relief agencies gearing up to help
millions expected to become vic-
tims of the powerful storm.
Do your very best to help, he
urged them.
Romney will go ahead with a
scheduled rally Monday afternoon
in Iowa, but has canceled an eve-
ning event in Wisconsin. He also
will not campaign in Ohio and
Iowa on Tuesday as planned. His
campaign has mobilized campaign
staff across Virginia, which was
being lashed by the storm, to col-
lect donations for victims and he
called on others in the storms path
to remove yard signs that could
become projectiles in windy condi-
tions.
Romney did not ignore politics
completely while addressing more
than 2,000 supporters in the gym-
nasium of an Ohio high school on
Monday afternoon.
I know the people of the Atlantic
Coast are counting on Ohio and
the rest of our states, he said.

Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP)
As Americans braced Sunday
for Hurricane Sandy, Haiti was still
suffering.
Officials raised the storm-relat-
ed death toll across the Caribbean
to 65, with 51 of those coming in
Haiti, which was pelted by three
days of constant rains that ended
only on Friday.
As the rains stopped and rivers
began to recede, authorities were
getting a fuller idea of how much
damage Sandy brought on Haiti.
Bridges collapsed. Banana crops
were ruined. Homes were under-
water. Officials said the death toll
might still rise.
This is a disaster of major pro-
portions, Prime Minister Laurent
Lamothe told The Associated Press,
adding with a touch of hyperbole,
The whole south is under water.
The countrys ramshackle hous-
ing and denuded hillsides are espe-
cially vulnerable to flooding. The
bulk of the deaths were in the
southern part of the country and
the area around Port-au-Prince,
the capital, which holds most of the
370,000 Haitians who are still liv-
ing in flimsy shelters as a result of
the devastating 2010 earthquake.
Santos Alexis, mayor of the
southern city of Leogane, said
Sunday that the rivers were reced-
ing and that people were beginning
to dry their belongings in the sun.
Things are back to being a little
quiet, Alexis said by telephone.
We have seen the end.
Sandy also killed 11 in Cuba,
where officials said it destroyed
or damaged tens of thousands of
houses. Deaths were also reported
in Jamaica, the Bahamas and Puerto
Rico. Authorities in the Dominican
Republic said the storm destroyed
several bridges and isolated at least
130 communities while damaging
an estimated 3,500 homes.
Jamaicas emergency manage-
ment office on Sunday was airlift-
ing supplies to marooned commu-
nities in remote areas of four badly
impacted parishes.
In the Bahamas, Wolf Seyfert,
operations director at local airline
Western Air, said the domestic ter-
minal of Grand Bahamas airport
received substantial damage from
Sandys battering storm surge and
would need to be rebuilt.
JOHANNESBURG Freedom of
expression needs to be balanced to
give the right to dignity and privacy
to all South Africans, President Jacob
Zuma said Monday, after he agreed to
withdraw a defamation case against
a newspaper cartoonist who depicted
him poised to rape Lady Justice.
Zuma said his governments
proposed Media Appeals Tribunal is
designed to assure those rights in
South Africa, where the presidents
complaints against some in the lo-
cal press have brought this tension
into sharp focus.
A media tribunal would strength-
en, complement and support the
current self-regulatory institutions
such as the press council, said Zuma,
speaking to the Foreign Correspon-
dents Association Monday.
Media watchdogs disagree with
Zuma and say that industry self-reg-
ulation is the best approach.
Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine The Ukrainian
presidents party will retain its
strong grip on power, according to
returns Monday from a parliamen-
tary election that was criticized by
Western observers as unfair and
biased against the opposition.
The West was paying close atten-
tion to Sundays vote in the stra-
tegic ex-Soviet state of 46 million
people, which lies between Russia
and the European Union and
serves as a key transit nation for
Russian energy supplies to many
EU countries.
Observers from the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in
Europe called the vote a setback to
Ukraines democratic and European
aspirations. That assessment could
lead to a further freeze in Kievs ties
with the West and push it closer to
Russia.
Monitors said the election was
marred by the absence of jailed
former Prime Minister Yulia
Tymoshenko and another opposi-
tion leader, the ruling partys use of
government funding for the cam-
paign and the skewed media cov-
erage that favored the ruling party.
While the voting process got posi-
tive ratings at most polling stations
observed, the vote tallying lacked
transparency, the group said.
Considering the abuse of power
and the excessive role of money
in this election, democratic prog-
ress appears to have reversed in
Ukraine, said Walburga Habsburg
Douglas, the special coordinator
who led the OSCE election obser-
vation mission. We do not think
that this election was fair because
it was not level.
Ukrainians deserved bet-
ter from these elections, said
Andreas Gross, the Head of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe delegation.
Unfortunately, the great demo-
cratic potential of Ukrainian soci-
ety was not realized in yesterdays
vote.
The U.S. State Department char-
acterized Ukraines elections as
a step backwards from progress
made during previous parliamen-
tary elections and the 2010 presi-
dential election, elections that had
marked important steps forward
for Ukraines democracy.
In a statement, the State
Department expressed concern
over the use of government
resources to favor ruling party can-
didates, interference with media
access, and harassment of opposi-
tion candidates.
The State Department also was
troubled by allegations of fraud
and falsification in the voting pro-
cess and tabulation, by the disparity
between preliminary results from
the Central Election Commission
and parallel vote tabulations, and by
the Central Election Commissions
decision not to release precinct
results.
President Viktor Yanukovychs
Russia-friendly Party of Regions
was leading in the count with 34
percent of the vote. Tymoshenkos
pro-Western party was sec-
ond with 23 percent, trailed by
the Communists, Yanukovychs
traditional allies, with 15 per-
cent. Another liberal party, Udar
(Punch), led by world boxing
champion Vitali Klitschko had 13
percent and the far-right Svoboda
(Freedom) party had 9 percent.

so-so performance. But that num-
ber jumped by nearly 5 million
when the Nielsen ratings service
added in the people who recorded
the show and watched it later or
saw it through video on demand
or online.
Revolution isnt the only show
whose popularity can no longer be
measured solely by traditional TV
ratings. Of the 18.1 million peo-
ple who watched the season pre-
miere of CBS new gangster drama
Vegas, 3.6 million did it hours or
days after the episode originally
aired. It is not uncommon for
more than half of the audience
for Foxs Glee to watch the show
after it airs on Thursday nights.
FXs Sons of Anarchy doubled
its audience for a recent episode
thanks to the digital video record-
er. Even ABCs Modern Family,
already one of the most-watched
situation comedies on television,
has gained as much as 30 percent
of its audience from DVRs.
This year is a tipping point
for all of us to look at the world
a different way, said CBS Chief
Executive Leslie Moonves.
Although the DVR is a blessing
for couch potatoes, it is more of
a mixed blessing for the televi-
sion industry. The upside is that
the DVR enables people to watch
more television and gives execu-
tives another measuring stick to
determine hits and flops instead
of living and dying with overnight
ratings.
The downside
is that although
DVRs enable
viewers to catch
shows they
might otherwise
miss, if some-
one is watching
a recorded pro-
gram it means
they are not watching live TV.
Networks still put great effort
into designing lineups that will
keep viewers tuned in to live TV.
DVRs and other platforms have
the potential to blow traditional
viewing habits out of the water.
And if viewers are using their
DVRs more to watch TV, it
also means they can easily skip
through commercials, which has
many advertisers worried.
I just dont think we can put all
our eggs in one basket anymore,
said Andy Donchin, an executive
vice president with Carat, which
buys commercial time for General
Motors, Home Depot and other
companies. Its time to see what
other media platforms we can use
to make up for the people who are
not watching our commercials.
Network executives and Nielsen
contend that not everyone using
a DVR is skipping commercials.
In May 2010, a Nielsen analysis
showed that in homes with DVRs,
average prime-time commercial
viewership among adults 18 to 49
,the demographic most popular
with advertis-
ers, jumped 44
percent from
the time ads first
aired to three
days later.
The ratings
tell us people
watch commer-
cials when they
are doing play-
back, said Pat McDonough, a
senior vice president at Nielsen.
According to McDonough, almost
half of all spots are viewed in
playback mode. That figure, she
said, has increased from a few
years ago.
Viewers often simply forget
they are watching a recording,
particularly if they are seeing a
show the same day it was record-
ed, McDonough said. There are
also more eye-catching advertise-
ments, she added.
The people making the com-
mercials know how to get us to
come off the fast-forward button,
McDonough said.

this year is a tipping

point for all of use to look
at the world in a different
way.

Economy
The economy and jobs have
been a major focus during the
campaign season; some pundits
have pointed out that this seems
to be an election based on one
issue. Romney has been focus-
ing on the question Are you bet-
ter off than four years ago? to
reveal Obamas failure with the
economy. Obama has fought back
by listing the steps he has taken
with job creation.
According to the Associated
Press Economy Survey, whoever
wins the presidential election will
face the task of managing big
economic threats, including the
effects of a weakened European
economy on U.S. exports and
jobs.
According to barackobama.
com, the president should be
credited with refusing to let
the American auto industry die.
He also made efforts to revive
manufacturing in the U.S., and
has added about 450,000 jobs in
less than two years.
Loomis said Obamas eco-
nomic plan is more specific
than Romneys.
Its not perfect, Loomis
said. But he plans to raise taxes
on the wealthy a little big, work
on creating more manufactur-
ing jobs and invest more in
science.
Obamas website also says that
he passed Wall Street reform
to make sure that Americans
would never again have to pay
to bail out big banks.
According to NBC News,
Romney closed his speech in
Iowa on Friday by highlight-
ing the need for big change
regarding the economy.
This is an election of con-
sequence, Romney said. Our
campaign is about big things,
because we happen to believe
that America faces big chal-
lenges. We recognize this is a
year with a big choice, and the
American people want to see
big changes. And together we
can bring that kind of change,
real change to our country.
According to his website,
Romney seeks to reduce taxes,
spending, regulation and gov-
ernment programs. He also
wants states to have the power
to make economic decisions. To
achieve these goals, he created a
five-part proposal to grow the
economy. He hopes to use the
plan to create 12 million jobs in
four years, an aim that he can
achieve with the Americans in
the private sector. Part of his
plan is working toward energy
independence by 2020. He also
wants to increase trade, height-
en the performance of public
schools, cut the deficit and help
small businesses.
Romney feels that govern-
ment should get out of the way.
He thinks that if he is elected
and free market forces coming
into play, the American econo-
my will rebound more quickly,
Loomis said.

ESu
tipoff
KANSAS
0-0, (0-0 BIG 12)
StArterS
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Releford will be tasked with defending Emporia
States best perimeter player. The senior has built his
reputation around defense and being a hustle player,
but he will be counted on to provide more of a consis-
tent scoring punch this season as the Jayhawks will
look to diversify their offensive attack after relying on
two players for nearly half their scoring last season.
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
Coach Bill Self feels McLemore is the furthest
along of the extensive freshman class. Part of that
can be attributed to his natural ability, but a good
portion of it is because he was tasked with guarding
Tyshawn Taylor in practice every day last season.
Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson, the Jayhawks leading returning scorer
with 10.2 points per game last season, steps into
the role of the point guard following the departure of
Tyshawn Taylor. He is not a true point guard, and he
projects to the NBA as more of a combo guard, but for
the majority of the time when he is in the game, he
will be tasked with running the Jayhawk offense.
Jamari Traylor, Freshman Forward
Traylor is a raw but athletic forward. He gets the
nod to replace Kevin Young, who will miss the exhibi-
tion season due to a broken hand suffered in practice
last week because of the energy he brings to the foor.
After being ruled ineligible by the NCAA last season,
this is his frst chance to show the coaching staff
what he can do in a game situation.
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
Withey faces the challenge of transitioning from
the secondary offensive option to the teams main
option down low this season. This will be the frst
chance for him to show off the offseason improve-
ments hes made to his offensive game, and he
should have an easy time as hell have a few inches
over his Hornet counterpart Daniel Shaw.

Euler

Sights
Coach Shaun Vandiver is in his second
year of coaching at Emporia State and he
is coming off of a 9-18 record last sea-
son. Seniors Taylor Euler and Chris Sights
are the only returning starters for the Hor-
nets, both of them shot over 40 percent
from three-point range last season. Eight
newcomers fll out the Emporia State ros-
ter, including freshman Terrence Moore
who was a high school teammate of Perry
Ellis at Wichita Heights. Of the fve Em-
poria State players, Wright, Brown and
Shaw are new to the program. Emporia
State began their season on Sunday with
a loss (60-49) to Tulsa and new coach
Danny Manning.
Although last years Kansas team
fnished the season as the second best
shooting defense in the nation, this
years team will be even more defensive-
minded. Emporia State will be far from
the most diffcult defensive challenge
this team will face this season, but it
will provide a good early season barom-
eter to see how the teams communi-
cation and chemistry is coming along.
With three starters from last years
squad returning, most of the chemistry
should remain. Now it is all about see-
ing how the new pieces will ft together
as the players morph into new roles that
they hope has another deep tournament
run painted on it.
Its always
great when you
play against Divi-
sion I competition.
The big thing is to
make sure we keep
our confdence and
morale up playing
these games, but
theyre tough games. The biggest thing we
can do is go into each game believing we
can win, believing we can get better and
believing we can execute our game plan
from start to fnish.

Taylor Euler, Senior Guard
Taylor Euler shot 41 percent from three point range
and made three three-pointers in eight games. Euler
led the MIAA conference in assist-to-turnover ratio last
season for players that averaged three assists per game
or more. He did seem to struggle against Tulsa in 28
minutes Euler scored fve points, with one assist and two
turnovers.
Kaleb Wright, Junior Guard
Against Tulsa, Wright was tied for taking the most
shots and playing the most minutes for Emporia State.
He also was the teams leader in turnovers. Wright is
playing his frst year at Emporia after transferring from
Mineral Area College where last season he averaged 9.4
points and 5.9 rebounds per game.

Chris Sights, Senior Guard
Chris Sights is the highest returning scorer for Em-
poria State, averaging 10.9 last season starting in 25 of
the teams 27 games. Sights shot 43 percent from three
point range last season. The issue for Sights seems to be
turnover. He had more turnovers than assists last season
and turned the ball over more than any other player for
Emporia State.
Gavin Brown, Junior Forward
Last season with the Cowley CC Tigers, Gavin Brown
made a run to the NJCAA Region 6 Championship game
averaging nearly eight points, six rebounds and six as-
sists during the tournament. Brown begins his career
at Emporia State as a starter. In his frst game for the
Hornets, Brown he grabbed eight rebounds.
Daniel Shaw, Sophmore Forward
A native of Cambridge, England, Daniel Shaw is another transfer in
his frst year at Emporia State. Shaw came off the bench last season
while playing in every game for Alaska Fairbanks.
max Goodwin
Freshman Forward Perry Ellis
Ellis will be the frst player off the
bench for the Jayhawks once the game
gets underway. He is the most talented
offensive threat in the Jayhawks front-
court and will be counted on to help
replace the offensive void left by the
departures of Thomas Robinson and Ty-
shawn Taylor.
Who will score for the
Jayhawks?
Its not that the Jayhawks arent a tal-
ented offensive teamthey have many
players with the capability of producing
a double-digit performance on offense
but none of their returning players have
proven that they can carry the scoring
load on a night-in and night-out basis.
I asked Travis, has anybody told you
that Hey, dont get hurt because if you
get hurt you may not get your spot back.
Nobodys told Travis that. Nobodys told
or walked up to Elijah and said hey, I
know youre the guy now, but dont sleep
on me. We dont have that yet and we
have nice kids and nice kids are great,
but we certainly need that aggressive-
ness, that mindset that Hey, wake up
every morning and Im going to do what-
ever to take his spot, so just dont stub
your toe.
-Bill Self on how he needs to
get the younger guys to play with a
more aggressive mindset.
Freshman Terrence Moore
Moore came off the bench and pro-
vided energy for Emporia State against
Tulsa. Moore scored 12 points, had four
steals and showed aggressive playmak-
ing ability. With Kansas freshman Perry
Ellis as his teammate, Moore helped
lead Wichita Heights to their fourth con-
secutive Class 6A State championship.
Wichita Heights won 60 straight games
with Moore and Ellis both being involved
in every game of the streak.
Can Emporia State avoid the distrac-
tion of playing in Allen FIeldhouse?
Emporia State has seven players on
their roster from the state of Kansas. For
many of them playing at Allen Fieldhouse
is a lifelong dream. The Hornets cant af-
ford to get caught up in the distractions
of the environment; if they do, it will
lead to turnovers and fast breaks for the
Jayhawks. Emporia State will need to be
aggressive. They cant let the Phog in-
timidate them.
-Shaun Vandiver
on the importance
of team confdence
and morale.

C
ollege can burn us out.
Exams, classes, and papers
all stacking up at the same
time can be exhausting. It can
be physically wearing, of course,
but it is mainly mentally draining.
And if you have ever stared at a
computer screen, trying hard to
do the homework you have due,
but have found yourself dragged
to Facebook or Youtube, you know
what I am talking about.
When that sort of mental
exhaustion happens, we can-
not think creatively anymore. It
feels like our capacity to decide is
diminished, and that we are kind
of powerless. But what has really
happened? Has our will power
left us?
As weird as it sounds, turns out
it is pretty much that. Scientist
Roy Baumeister from Florida
State University has shown that
our mental power can quite liter-
ally abandon us. He calls it ego
depletion, and the way it works is
actually fairly simple. We all have
a certain level of mental energy to
make our decisions throughout
the day, and we use this mental
energy for every conscious deci-
sion in our lives, from the most
sophisticated and important to the
most mundane. So, every time
we decide on what to wear, what
to eat, or whether we should or
shouldnt check what is going on
Facebook, our mental energy is
being used. And the very same
energy is the one you will use
to make the more important
decisions of your life.
So how do we deal with it? There
is a solution. Have you ever won-
dered how some people from
politicians, to artists, to executives
can accomplish so much more
with the same 24 hours a day we
all have? Putting their lives on
autopilot is one of their secrets.
They automate mundane activi-
ties, and save their mental energy
for the really important ones.
According to Vanity Fair,
President Obama himself said,
Youll see I wear only gray or
blue suits. Im trying to pare down
decisions. I dont want to make
decisions about what Im eating
or wearing. Because I have too
many other decisions to make.
In a similar fashion, Robert Pozen
from the Harvard Business School
defends the same principle: put
things that are unimportant on
autopilot, and save your mental
energy for situations and people
that really matter.
Of course, putting things on
autopilot can be pretty easy for the
president or for a Harvard execu-
tive. They can have a personal
assistant to do all the unimportant
stuff for them. But how do we
broke college students do it?
One of the ways of auto-pilot-
ing your daily activities is deciding
the night before what will you eat
for breakfast and what clothes you
will wear for classes. Another way
of saving your mental energy for
important things is getting done
most of the priority tasks on your
to do list first before moving into
less demanding or less important
activities. Getting rid of energy
draining distractions also help. For
instance, I changed my Facebook
password to a really complicated
one that I do not know by heart,
and I have to copy it from a text
document in my flash drive when
I want to login. Since then, I have
been using it much less (once
every two days, typically).
When I talk about putting life
on autopilot I get some weird
looks. It might sound like I am
suggesting we all turn into robots
that do not live life consciously.
But, in fact, it is the exact oppo-
site. Automating the mundane,
unimportant aspects of our lives
is a liberating exercise, and frees
our minds and conscience to
experience and live the important
aspects of life fully.

N
o matter what your politi-
cal affiliation is, we all can
be sure that social media
has helped define this presiden-
tial race. The debates are a prime
example, where analysis by every-
day people was given through the
social media giant Twitter.
In the first debate, the only thing
the republican nominee had to say
on the subject of cutting the defi-
cit was Big Bird. In context, Mitt
Romney was discussing how he
would cut funding to PBS to help
with the federal deficit. PBS, of
course, houses the television show
Sesame Street, as well as the char-
acter Big Bird. Immediately after
he said that he would fire Big
Bird, a firestorm hit the Twitter
and Facebook. According to USA
Today, the firestorm on Twitter
generated 17,000 tweets per minute
during the debate. Also, Twitter
mock accounts were started and
as a result, caused the large yellow
creature to make an appearance on
Saturday Night Live.
More of the same was shown in
the second debate. It was more of
good old Romney saying a simple
statement that basically blew up
Twitter. When Romney was dis-
cussing the diversity of women
in the workforce, specifically the
search for qualified women to fill
his cabinet when he was the gov-
ernor of Massachusetts, he said,
I went to a number of womens
groups and said, Can you help
us find folks, and they brought
us whole binders full of women.
The response over social media
was comical. There were two main
Twitter accounts started, both with
the same title of Romneys Binder,
which gained upwards of 40,000
combined followers. Also, a fake
Facebook account titled, Binders
Full of Women was launched that
currently stands at 352,000 likes.
But the area of social media where
Romneys comments really blew
up was in the place of Internet
memes. A Tumblr account sprung
up that featured images that were
inspired by the incident, includ-
ing the now famous Texts from
Hillary meme.
The fascinating thing about
Twitter is its effect on live events.
With all of the millions of users that
are on Twitter, many Americans
have the ability to be involved.
They can follow their favorite
tweeters and without even watch-
ing the event as it is on the air, can
affect it by retweeting and sharing
information that goes on. This is
power, and it so amazing to see
the technology created in America
having a positive effect on the his-
tory and the future of our great
nation.
What is so awe-inspiring about
these incidents is just how much
the American people are drawn
into this election, and it shows in
the evidence of social media. In
the first debate there was a record
10 million tweets, plus another
7.2 million tweets in the second
debate. This shows you that we
as people and especially this new
generation of younger minds, are
paying attention to the election.
The only thing we can hope for
is that the influx of social media
will correlate to the polls, and as a
result, go out and vote.

years ago but finally called it quits
after a number of breakups in late
2009, and Mayer was alleged to
have seriously struggled with the
aftermath. Still today, Mayer is no
stranger to breaking up then mak-
ing up, and lately he has reportedly
been pretty cozy with Katy Perry.
Especially because of tabloids
like People Magazine and Us
Weekly Magazine, average man
stories like Mayer and Anistons
come straight out of Hollywood
all the time, and, as expected,
they never seem to be relevant to
us. But while the Golden Coast
may seem like a world away,
some couples on our own campus
tend to follow suit in our own
ever-changing relationships.
Even in the non-celebrity world,
relationships deal with the same
issues. Early last week I had a late
lunch back home in Wichita with
an old crush and senior prom date
from high school. I had hardly
seen him in the past year, but over
my Caesar salad and his hummus,
it was as if we rewound almost five
years, talking like we were back
together every day in German IV.
In high school I didnt try to
pursue anything with him because
he stayed back home for college
while I left for Lawrence, and after
a long-distance relationship from
there to Flagstaff, Ariz., I desired
something closer to home. So then
after Prom ended, I half-lied and
said I wasnt interested. And then
that was it.
Even though he and I never
dated or anything close, I still
casually wondered the forbidden
question, What if?
If we date once (or even did
as little as prom dates) and want
to rekindle the connection weeks,
months or even years later,
what should we really consider
if were thinking about taking a
chance with round two? When
I went searching for the answer,
Cosmopolitan Magazine UK and
popular dating blog The Frisky
offered plenty of words of wisdom.
Here, I give you four of them.
First, it sounds simple but can
be hard to really believe when
youre living in the moment: If
you or the person youre trying
to rekindle the relationship with
is already in another, steer clear.
The idea of getting someone back
no matter what is exciting, but this
kind of barrier frequently leads to
more heartbreak in the end and
can leave you with a lot more than
you bargained for.
If the chemistry or your sex life
when you finally broke up the first
time wasnt exactly one for the
ages, let it go. Its not like learning
to fight if youre still not get-
ting it right after a month or two,
its probably not going to happen.
Relationships without chemistry
are doomed from the start, so cut
your losses and forget it.
Ask your friends. Especially
true for those friends who were
there the first time, peers are not
unbiased about how your old rela-
tionship looked on the outside.
However, if they can still vouch
for your ex even post-breakup, it
may be worth it to try to bring the
relationship back to life.
Finally, consider if you can really
be at peace with your past so you
can try again in the future. If you
want to rekindle the relationship,
theres inherently something you
arent over, but a grudge always
needs to be laid to rest before
dating the second time. You cant
cover up a grudge with a new rela-
tionship. With time itll only rear
its ugly head again.
Even though some relationships
truly need to perish for the sake
of everyone involved, some can
be good enough to take a shot
another time around. If you try to
resuscitate it and it doesnt budge,
though, let it die and move on for
real.
But until that point, theres
nothing wrong with trying again
with something that was good, so
never mind the recycled relation-
ship naysayers and just let it ride.
You might be surprised with
what you get the second time
around.

The Big 12 season is halfway
done, with every team having
played at least four league games,
and this Saturday shapes up as a
big one for teams across the con-
ference.
There have been plenty of sur-
prises so far, none bigger than
Kansas State being picked to fin-
ish sixth in the preseason poll and
instead standing third in the coun-
try and second in the BCS.
Heres a glimpse at whats ahead,
starting with the meaningful games
this weekend:
CAN KANSAS STATE
CLOSE IT OUT?
Bill Snyders Wildcats (8-0, 5-0
Big 12) can eliminate nearly all
the drama in the conference title
race by winning at home against
Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1). With
a victory Saturday night, K-State
would then have to lose two of
its remaining three games against
TCU, Baylor and Texas to fall short
of the conference championship.
Every game is huge at this point
for any team in the national title
chase but while this one may not
get the same billing as the last
two against West Virginia and
Texas Tech the defending cham-
pion Cowboys pose the most direct
threat to Kansas State claiming the
conference crown. OSU doesnt
need help from anyone else, but
would have to win four straight
games against ranked teams.
I think they know that we have
the opportunity to control our own
destiny but they also feel like were
certainly not in any position to
look beyond the next game, coach
Mike Gundy said Monday.
Were getting ready to play the
second-ranked team in the country
and well have our hands full just
traveling up to Manhattan.
None of the teams left on the
Wildcats schedule are currently in
the Top 25.
Theyve got a great chance to
run the table. Theyre definitely
one of the better teams in the
country, Texas Tech coach Tommy
Tuberville said, having lost 55-24 at
K-State on Saturday.
Theyre more like an SEC team
than a Big 12 team, ho they play
defense, how they play offense, so I
think theyve got a great chance.
WILL WEST VIRGINIA REBOUND?
Not long ago, the Mountaineers
(5-2) were preseason favorites and
quarterback Geno Smith was the
Heisman Trophy front-runner.
Now, theyre practically after-
thoughts.
Dana Holgorsen and Co. had an
off week to pick up the pieces and
will host fellow Big 12 newcomer
TCU on Saturday.
There was a pretty good sense
of urgency last week. The attention
to detail tends to pick up when
you get beat, if the makeup of your
team is what you want it to be,
Holgorsen said.
Holgorsen said he thinks play-
ers can forget their fundamentals
during the grind of the season and
the off week was a good chance to
re-focus.
Theres a whole bunch of good
5-2 football teams out there. Just
because weve dropped the last two
doesnt mean that were a bad foot-
ball team, he said.
WHOS PLAYING QUARTERBACK?
While there has been steady
play at the top from the likes of
Klein, Texas Techs Seth Doege and
Oklahomas Landry Jones, theres
been more shuffling than usual
at the quarterback position in the
Big 12.
Injuries forced Oklahoma State
to replace Wes Lunt with J.W. Walsh
and then bring Lunt back last week.
TCU went with Trevone Boykin
after Casey Pachall was arrested
and suspended indefinitely.
And then there were the chang-
es related to effectiveness: Kansas
switched from Notre Dame transfer
Dayne Crist to Michael Cummings
and a run-based attack, and Iowa
State started with Steele Jantz, then
turned to Jared Barnett and then
back to Jantz in time for him to set
career-highs with 381 yards pass-
ing and five TDs in a win over
Baylor.
He was not doing some things
effective enough, and thats why
we made a change at one point this
season, but 4-1 as a starter is pretty
dang good, coach Paul Rhoads
said. I think its overshadowed
by the fact that he had his best
game as an Iowa State Cyclone this
Saturday night.
Texas coach Mack Brown
announced Monday that he was
sticking with David Ash, even
after Case McCoy replaced him
for the game-winning drive against
Kansas.
WHOS HEADED WHERE IN THE
POSTSEASON?
Kansas State, Texas and Texas
Tech are already bowl eligible and
another five teams are sitting on
five wins, hoping to qualify for the
postseason this week Iowa State,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU
and West Virginia.
Its all but impossible at this
point to project who will end up
where among the leagues six bowl
partners, with the potential for two
to make the BCS.
Were trying to get one more
ballgame so that we can get the
extra practices and get to a bowl
game, TCUs Gary Patterson said.
And if you can get to six, then
youre going to try to get to seven.
If you get to seven, then you try to
get to eight.
WHO WILL FINISH LAST?
Kansas dropped its 16th straight
conference game Saturday, falling
just short when Texas scored with
12 seconds left for a 21-17 win. But
the Jayhawks (1-7, 0-5) can climb
out of the cellar this week at win-
less Baylor (3-4, 0-4), which has
reverted to its pre-Robert Griffin
III ways.
Theres definitely things you
can look at and say youre getting
better here, youre getting better
here, youre getting better here.
But still at the end of the day,
its still about winning, Weis said.
Regardless of whether you played
tough, played close,
Are there silver linings? Yes,
there are. But it still comes down
to youve lost 100 in a row in the
Big 12, at home and on the road,
and you need to beat somebody so
you can start moving that trend in
a different direction.

ZHENGZHOU, China Rory
McIlroy outdueled Tiger Woods in
the frst one-on-one exhibition match
between golf s two biggest names.
Woods thinks hell have plenty of
chances to get revenge.
McIlroy shot a 5-under 67 to beat
Woods by one stroke in an 18-hole
match between the two top-ranked
golfers at the Jinsha Lake Golf Club
in central China on Monday.
Tis is certainly not like most
Mondays. To have this many people
come out and watch us play golf in
an exhibition was something special.
Tis doesnt happen, Woods said.
As far as doing something like this
down the road, it would be fun.
Te event, dubbed Duel at Jin-
sha Lake, marked the frst time the
two golfers had played head-to-head
without other competitors. It prob-
ably wont be the last.
Woods said hed relish the chance
to take on McIlroy more ofen to cre-
ate a rivalry at the top of the game
similar to the one between Roger
Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djok-
ovic and Andy Murray that have
made mens tennis so exciting in re-
cent years.
If you look at the history of the
game, its not like other sports where
the guys play against each other all
the time. Jack (Nicklaus) and Arnold
(Palmer) didnt go at it that ofen,
Woods said. But you know what,
if we can do this for the next 10, 15
years, then certainly we can have that
type of rivalry.
I think having matches like this
to promote the game of golf is what
its all about. Were trying to promote
the game of golf in this region and its
come a long way since my frst time
here 11 years ago.
McIlroy took an early lead with
two birdies on the frst three holes
and held on to beat Woods, who had
two bogeys to go along with his six
birdies for the day. Te 14-time ma-
jor winner fnished with a 68.
Both players competed elsewhere
Sunday and had to make long jour-
neys to Zhengzhou, an industrial city
in Chinas Henan province. McIlroy
fnished second to Peter Hanson in
the European Tours BMW Masters
at Shanghai, while Woods tied for
fourth in the PGA Tours CIMB Clas-
sic in Malaysia.
McIlroy, who captured the PGA
Championship in August for his sec-
ond major, said the win over Woods
ofered some consolation for his
defeat Sunday when he surged back
from four shots down against Han-
son only to lose by one stroke in the
end.
Its been a nice distraction to not
dwell on what happened yesterday. I
let a great chance to win a golf tour-
nament slip through my fngers,
McIlroy said. Coming to do some-
thing like this today has defnitely
made it a little easier to deal with.
Afer falling two strokes behind
on the front nine, Woods hit a per-
fect chip shot from the fairway on
the par-3 12th hole that hit the pin
and dropped in for birdie, bringing
him within one shot of the Northern
Irishman.
However, he then missed a long
putt for par on the next hole, set-
tling for bogey, while McIlroy sank a
7-footer for par.
Woods made birdie on the 14th
hole to pull within a stroke again, but
he missed his fnal chance to level the
score on the 18th when he misplayed
his approach shot and landed in a
bunker, muttering where did that
go?
Te frst head-to-head matchup
between Woods and McIlroy at
the eight-player World Golf Final in
Turkey this month was far more
one-sided. Woods shot a 7-under 64
to defeat the Northern Irishman by
six strokes in a group match at the
exhibition event.
China has lured a number of the
worlds top players with lucrative
exhibitions in the past few years as
part of an efort to grow the sports
popularity and market a bevy of new
celebrity-designed courses.
No expense or extravagance
was spared in welcoming Woods
and McIlroy to the Jinsha Lake Golf
Club.
As stunt planes buzzed overhead,
a feet of Rolls Royces whisked the
players to the course, passing heli-
copters for sale and Aston Martins
and Maseratis with showgirls draped
over them. Afer the two struck a
gong to open the event, freworks
exploded behind them and confetti
cannons rained gold fakes over the
jostling crowd.

f you werent already con-
vinced, the Kansas City Chiefs
must take a quarterback first in
next years NFL Draft.
The Chiefs have awful numbers
so far this year. They are the league
worst in important categories that
would scare any fan with more
fumbles and interceptions than any
other team in the league, and they
have the worst turnover differential
at negative 15.
Who handles the ball on every
play? The quarterback, and that is
where the central problem lies.
According to the NFL analysis
website, Cold Hard Football Facts,
the team that wins the turnover
battle wins 85 percent of its games.
Also, the team with the higher
quarterback rating, a statistic ana-
lyzing total QB production, has a
winning percentage of 87 percent.
If the ball is in the hands of the
quarterback, the game is in the
hands of the quarterback.
Clearly, this is where Kansas
City is very far behind its counter-
parts and must address the issue in
the NFL Draft.
How have teams with rookie
quarterbacks fared this year?
Five rookie quarterbacks cur-
rently start in the NFL. Last year,
those teams without these quarter-
backs won just 30 percent of their
games. This year, after address-
ing their problem and acquiring
a quarterback, the winning per-
centage of those teams rose to 45
percent.
Of the five teams currently with
either one or two wins, Kansas City
and Jacksonville are the only two
that would likely take a quarter-
back. If KC can continue its torrid
pace of virtually handing the ball to
its opponents three times a game,
they will likely obtain a prime spot
in next years draft. A spot in the
top five would surely give them a
chance to take an elite quarterback
and finally fix the problem.
The Kansas City Chiefs have to
make the right choice in the next
NFL draft.
Bradford takes cue from
soccer in uk

T
he New England Patriots
slammed the St. Louis
Rams this weekend, 45-7.
No real news from the box score
there, but the real story is where
the game was played: London.
A crowd packed into Wembley
Stadium, the home of Englands
national soccer team, to enjoy the
American game in their home
country. It was the Patriots second
visit to London for a game, and
it appeared as if they were pretty
comfortable with their surround-
ings. The fans loved the excite-
ment, despite a few ironies going
against the home crowds culture.
The Patriots are named after the
group who rebelled against England
in the American Revolution.
Clearly there is not an atmosphere
of bitterness, but it is interesting
that New England has made two
trips across the pond and won.
During one play in the first half,
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford
was knocked down hard after
throwing a pass. Bradford rolled
around on the ground display-
ing obvious pain and drew the St.
Louis training staff on to the field.
The Rams called a timeout after the
play, but then Sam Bradford is run-
ning back onto the field, calm and
collected, to continue the Rams
drive. Soccer is known for its flop-
ping where players cry out when
fouled and then are perfectly fine
after the call has been made.
It seems as if Bradford took
some notes from the soccer played
in Wembley Stadium.

FootBALL
okla. State improves defensively halfway through season
ASSocIAtED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. Enter-
ing the season, an experienced
defense was supposed to be Okla-
homa States strength.
Te plan was for the unit to buy
time for an ofense led by a fresh-
man quarterback.
Its taken longer than coach
Mike Gundy and defensive coor-
dinator Bill Young wanted, but the
defense seems to be rounding into
form as Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1
Big 12) heads into arguably its big-
gest challenge of the season a
trip to the Little Apple to face No.
3 Kansas State (8-0, 5-0) and its
Heisman Trophy candidate quar-
terback Collin Klein on Saturday.
In starting the season 2-2, the
Cowboys surrendered 59 points
to Arizona and 41 to Texas, losing
both games. Since then, for the frst
time in its Big 12 history, Okla-
homa State has held three straight
league opponents under 20 points
in wins over Kansas (20-14), Iowa
State (31-10) and TCU (36-14).
Weve gotten more pressure on
the quarterback from the edges
over the last couple of weeks and
that helps, Gundy said. Weve
had more hurries. Our secondary
has increased its ability to play the
football while the ball is in the air
over the last two or three weeks.
We still have a ways to go, but were
much better now than we were a
month ago.
Young and his players credit
several factors for the Cowboys
defensive resurgence better at-
tention to detail, improved tack-
ling, allowing fewer big plays and
forcing more turnovers.
Arizona, we fat out played ter-
rible, defensive end Cooper Bas-
sett said. Against Texas, our de-
fense played really well for three
quarters and in the fourth quarter,
for some reason, we kind of im-
ploded. We didnt make the plays.
We werent fundamentally sound.
Because of that, we lost the games.
Te biggest thing for us the past
few weeks, is we were able to be
fundamentally sound and we were
able put a full game together.
Added cornerback Justin Gil-
bert: Its knowing your job, car-
rying out your assignments and
not trying to do more than what
youre supposed to do and trust-
ing in your teammates and believ-
ing theyll be in the position that
theyre supposed to be in.
Much of Oklahoma States early
defensive struggles could be traced
to a lack of turnovers. Afer leading
the Bowl Subdivision last season
with 44 takeaways, the Cowboys
managed
only four
in their
frst fve
games be-
fore forc-
ing two
a g a i n s t
Iowa State
and three
a g a i n s t
T e x a s
Christian.
Against
TCU, the turnovers proved key as
Oklahoma State held the Horned
Frogs without a point on their f-
nal 11 possessions afer TCU took
a 14-0 lead.
Young said the Cowboys want
to force a minimum of three turn-
overs in a game and said his units
outing against TCU was a little
bit better than it had been pre-
viously, but obviously, weve got
a lot of room to
improve. Were
not there yet.
Klein and Kan-
sas State pose a
unique challenge
to any defense.
Te multifac-
eted quarterback
has moved into
Heisman Trophy
contention thanks to his ability
to run or throw the football. Hes
tied for the Big 12 lead in touch-
downs scored with 12. He has two
triple-digit rushing eforts this sea-
son and ranks ffh in the league
in rushing, but also leads the Big
12 in pass efciency and hasnt
thrown an interception in 106 pass
attempts.
Gundy said Klein has improved
his passing this season, making
him more dangerous.
It looks like to me hes worked
really hard in the ofseason on his
accuracy on his downfeld throws,
Gundy said. Tey give him the
time and his accuracy is consider-
ably better, in my opinion, than it
would have been a year ago.
Klein and the Wildcats ran wild
at Oklahoma State last year, nearly
pulling of the upset before then-
No. 3-ranked Cowboys held on
for a 52-45 win. Not long afer the
game, the most powerful earth-
quake ever in Oklahoma - magni-
tude 5.6 - was felt in the Stillwater
area.

We still have a ways to go,

but were much better now
than we were a month ago.

1. Kansas State (8-0)
Kansas State remained unde-
feated on the season afer a big win
over Texas Tech. Te Wildcats are
in the drivers seat to win the Big 12
and are vying for a spot to play in
the National Championship game.
8. texas christian (5-3)
Texas Christian not only lost to
Oklahoma State this past weekend, but
sufered more bad news at the quarter-
back position. Te Horned Frogs may
lose quarterback Trevone Boykin for
another game, forcing coach Gary Pat-
terson to start a third quarterback this
season if Boykin cant play this week at
West Virginia.
2. oklahoma (5-2)
Oklahoma sufered a tough loss
against Notre Dame at home on
Saturday night in front of a nation-
al audience. It marked the second
time the Sooners lost at home this
season, both to unbeaten teams.
Despite the loss, they still remain
one of the top teams in the confer-
ence.
5. oklahoma State (5-2)
Te Cowboys stumbled during the
frst half of the season, but have won
their last three games. Now, coach Mike
Gundy has the team in a rhythm. How-
ever, the Cowboys still have a lot to
prove as their next four conference op-
ponents are all currently ranked.
3. texas tech (6-2)
Texas Tech lost by 31 points
against Kansas State. But at 6-2
on the season, Texas Tech still
has a shot at fnishing strong afer
starting of near the bottom in the
Big 12 preseason poll.
7. Iowa State (5-3)
Iowa State has had a long sea-
son since conference play kicked
of, but its season got a little better
with a win over Baylor. Linebacker
Jake Knott also got some recogni-
tion as the Big 12 Defensive Player
of the Week.
6. West Virginia (5-2)
As conference newcomers,
West Virginia has learned what
its like playing in the Big 12 with
other high-scoring ofenses. With
the Mountaineers on a bye week,
coach Dana Holgorsen has an op-
portunity to better his defense for
the remainder of the season.
9. baylor (3-4)
Baylor went undefeated in its
non-conference games. Now Bay-
lor is under .500 afer losing four
straight Big 12 games. Te Bears
have an opportunity to change
that this weekend when they host
Kansas.
4. texas (6-2)
Although Texas struggled on the
road against Kansas, coach Mack
Brown is happy with a win at the end
of the day. Te Longhorns have given
up more points than any team in the
conference, and are working to im-
prove defensively so they can stay in
the top tier of the conference.
10. Kansas (1-7)
Even though James Sims had a
career day against Texas, it was not
enough to squeeze out a win. Te Jay-
hawks have lost 17 straight conference
games and will face a Baylor team who
is also struggling in the Big 12.
With the Big 12 season halfway
over, the Baylor Bears and the Kan-
sas Jayhawks are both looking for
their frst victory in conference
play.
Baylor is 0-4 in conference play
and Kansas is 0-5. Te teams face
of this weekend in Waco, Texas.
Baylor coach Art Briles said losing
in conference play hasnt afected
the team.
What you cant do is let it beat
you down, Briles said. You have
to move forward. You have to move
forward and have faith. Te kids are
pretty resilient and they dont all the
time look at the big picture.
Defeating the Jayhawks is the
place to start for Baylor to move
forward and be bowl eligible.
Briles said that Kansas is a good
football team with great players and
coaches.
Tey are capable of beating any-
one on any day just like everyone
else in this league is, Briles said.
In order to win this weekend
Baylor must limit turnovers and get
the ball to star senior wide receiver
Terrance Williams.
Te Bears have had 17 turnovers
on the year, 12 of those in their last
three games.
Briles said he doesnt know how
to limit the turnovers, but its a
problem the coaching staf and
players are aware of.
I think sometimes you get in
situations trying to extend the play
and you get a little risky with the
football, Briles said. Its all situ-
ational and awareness.
And then there is Williams. He
has been virtually unstoppable for
most defenses this year. He has
caught 60 passes for 1,203 yards
and scored nine touchdowns.
Briles said Williams has greatly
benefted from playing with NFL
players like Josh Gordon and Ken-
dall Wright. Tey showed him how
hard he had to work of the feld in
order to see playing time.
I think hes proven himself to one
of the best in America by his work
ethic on the feld and his produc-
tion on the feld, Briles said. We
have a lot of confdence in throwing
him the football. And hes been very
productive when we do it.

Jayhawks beat West Virginia
braNdoN smIth/KaNsaN
Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and junior setter erin McNorton jump in attempt to block a spike. Kansas defeated West
Virginia 3-0 to capture its 20th win of the season.

Behind middle blocker Tayler
Tolefrees 10 kills and 1.000 hitting
percentage, the Kansas Jayhawks
swept West Virginia to reach 20
wins in a season for the first time
since 2003.
Another middle blocker, junior
Caroline Jarmoc, also finished the
match with 10 kills and no errors. It
was the first time in seven matches
both Jarmoc and Tolefree finished
with double-digit kills in a match.
I feel like Ive struggled being
consistent this season, Tolefree
said. For me it was just kind of a
sigh of relief that, ok, I can be an
offensive force, now work on being
consistent.
Kansas had no problem play-
ing consistently all night, never
letting the Mountaineers seriously
threaten to win a set. The Jayhawks
jumped out to early leads in each
of the first three sets, and West
Virginia never could respond.
There were only five ties and two
lead changes during the three-set
match.
In its previous match Wednesday
against Iowa State, Kansas con-
ceded five service aces in the first
set and seven
during the
match. West
V i r g i n i a
entered the
match third
in the Big
12 in serv-
ing with
1.430 service
aces per set.
Ho w e v e r ,
Kansas scored three service aces
while holding West Virginia to
only two aces.
Junior libero Brianne Riley
said making first contact on
West Virginias serve stopped
the Mountaineers from having a
chance to steal a win from Kansas.
Coach warned us that they like
to serve them pretty deep and hit
you high, Riley said. I think all
the DSs and passers did a really
good job of making sure Erin got
the ball where she needed to get so
we could run our offense.
Once the ball did get into play,
Kansas defense
tightened up
and never let
West Virginia get
into an offensive
rhythm. Kansas
outdug West
Virginia 37-25
and held them
to a -.056 hitting
percentage in the
first set and .071 for the match.
The Mountaineers didnt help
its cause by committing 24 attack
errors, while the Jayhawks com-
mitted only eight in one of its most
efficient performances of the sea-
son. Kansas hit .418 for the match,
and never hit below .308 in a set.
Riley said Kansas passing set the
tone for the rest of the Jayhawks
offense.
When our team is passing to
target it gets our hitters going and
were pretty unstoppable at the net,
Riley said.
Kansas was so unstoppable that
coach Ray Bechard began putting
in his reserves during the first set.
Juniors Kara Wehrs, Jessie Allen
and Marianne Beal and Sylvia
Bullock all earned their most play-
ing time of the season during the
match. Each of them earned either
a kill or a block, and Beals kill won
the match.
At one point I turned to Beal
and she was like, Its fun playing,
Tolefree said. I like watching them
come in and the look on their faces.
They didnt look nervous at all.
One of Kansas weak points this
season has been its tendency to
feel out the opponents style of play
in the first set and react accord-
ingly, instead of coming out and
implementing its own style of play.
Kansas was able to use its reserves
against West Virginia because the
starters were ready to play in set
one, focusing on its own side of the
net instead of what West Virginia
would try to do. Bechard said it
was important for his team to start
strong so West Virginia wouldnt
be able to steal a victory.
Theyve taken a lot of sets on
a lot of different Big 12 teams,
including us when we played at
their place, Bechard said. We
wanted to control our side of the
net and not be lulled into whatever
their execution was on their side.
Kansas next plays on Saturday
in Waco, Texas against Baylor at
7 p.m.

Freshman Jamari Traylor finally starts against Emporia State tonight
ashleigh lee/kansan
Freshman forward Jamari Traylor talks to reporters reporters during media Day at allen Fieldhouse on oct. 13.
D
ont measure the mens bas-
ketball team by the final score
tonight.
With the talent the Jayhawks have,
they should be able to beat Emporia
State in their sleep. So Regardless of
how Kansas plays, they shouldnt have
to sweat out the final result.
No, Bill Self wont unveil the whole
playbook, or introduce many new
wrinkles in the offense, but tonights
exhibition will be a fair barometer of
where the teams chemistry stands. The
important thing isnt the score, but how
Kansas looks as a team.
Even though the Jayhawks talent
level will probably allow them to blow
Emporia State out, perhaps the more
important statistics will be assists and
both teams shooting percentage.
The Jayhawks defense has ranked
in the top 10 in opponents shooting
percentage every year since Self arrived
in Lawrence. With seniors Jeff Withey,
Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson
back to reprise their starting roles, they
shouldnt have much trouble defensive-
ly against Emporia State. The Hornets
dont have much height, and those with
height are inexperienced.
Offensively, ball distribution will
show the Jayhawks cohesiveness. If they
are able to score 100 points, but it comes
from Emporia States turnovers or from
the sizable talent gap between the two
teams, we still wont learn much about
Kansas offense. But if most of Kansas
buckets come off assists, maybe the
young Jayhawks are ahead of sched-
ule in terms of chemistry and players
beginning to find their roles.
Looking at the assists and shooting
percentage statistics is important because
Kansas doesnt have much time before
it faces a high-quality opponent. The
Jayhawks play No. 14 Michigan State
in two weeks in Atlanta as a part of the
Champions Classic. When Kansas faced
Kentucky last November in Madison
Square Garden, the Wildcats raw talent
beat Kansas because the Jayhawks had
not meshed yet as a team.
So how well will the new guys mesh
with the three returning starters?
Freshman forward Perry Ellis figured
to begin the year by backing up senior
forward Kevin Young, but with Young
out for about two weeks after breaking a
bone in his hand, Ellis will have an early
opportunity to make a case for starting
permanently for the Jayhawks.
Bill Self said another one of his
forwards, redshirt freshman Jamari
Traylor, is just as athletic as Thomas
Robinson was. So how well will Traylor
live up to that comparison in his first
taste as a Jayhawk? The new crop of
guards will be led by redshirt freshman
Ben McLemore, who Self said reminds
him an awful lot of Brandon Rush.
Judging by Rushs unselfishness, offen-
sive efficiency and championship ring
during his time as a Jayhawk, thats not a
bad comparison. And speaking of good
shooters, Andrew White III has been
said to have one of the purest shooting
strokes on the team. Tonight, well see.
The Jayhawks will improve in
all aspects of the game by the time
March rolls around. Every team will.
But Michigan State awaits Kansas in
the Georgia Dome Nov. 13. So instead
of tonight being a meaningless walk-
through, look beyond the score to view
tonights game as a barometer for the
showdown in Atlanta.

For the Kansas Jayahwks foot-
ball team, Sunday is not a day of
rest.
After every loss this season, the
Jayhawks have been able to use the
Sunday practice to wash away the
negativity of the previous week
and get back to work. But after
losing to Texas on a last-second
touchdown, this loss was a little
harder to shake off.
Theres no hiding this is the
most disappointed weve been
all year, coach Charlie Weis said
on Mondays teleconference call.
That was the feeling walking in
the building and at least by the
time they left practice they had
gotten that kind of out of their
system.
With a clear system it becomes
easier to look back on a game
that should have been won. James
Sims continued dominating Big
12 defenses, gaining 176 yards
on Saturday. Redshirt freshman
quarterback Michael Cummings
made some big time completions
under pressure, and the Jayhawks
defense forced two turnovers,
while limiting the Longhorns to
just 21 points.
Weis and the team only care
about wins and losses though, but
if they were looking to see progress
out of this years squad, they dont
need to look any further. After all,
Kansas got whipped by Texas last
year, losing 43-0 and only gaining
46 yards in Austin.
Are there silver linings? Yes
there are, Weis said. But it still
comes down to you lost 100 in a
row in the Big 12 and you need
to beat somebody so you can start
moving that trend in another
direction.
Texas coach
Mack Brown
said he fully
expects the
Jayhawks to
beat somebody
at home this
season. With
Iowa State the
only remain-
ing game at Memorial Stadium,
Brown didnt need to be any more
clear. Yet before the Cyclones visit
Lawrence on November 17th,
Kansas has to make two trips to
the state of Texas, starting with
Baylor.
The Bears might be on a four
game losing streak, but its not
because they arent scoring. Baylor
averages 44-points per game and
has the nations best passing game.
For good measure, Kansas ranks
58th in pass defense. Instead the
problem for the Bears is a defense
that has taken the Jayhawks title of
being the worst in the FBS, allow-
ing over 550 yards per game
The games theyve lost has
been greatly attributed to a large
number of turnovers, Weis said.
If we cant get turnovers well be
in a little bit of danger, cause we
havent exactly been lighting up the
scoreboard.
It would seem that Dave
Campo has more work to do than
Weis this week. Kansas may have
caught its first break on offense,
but the threat of Baylors passing
game should be
enough to keep
the Jayhawks
focused.
Even though
Baylor and
Kansas are both
searching for con-
ference wins this
season, the Bears
ability to put up a lot of points
makes them dangerous to every
opponent. Just ask West Virginia
and Texas, who allowed 63 and 50
points respectively to Baylor. The
difference is that those teams had
the offensive firepower to over-
come it. Meanwhile Kansas is only
averaging 17 points per game, and
will need to be able to keep up with
Baylor if they score in bunches.
Theyve got such great offensive
firepower and theres been a lot of
shootouts, Weis said. Shootouts
really arent advantageous to us.
Were going to have to change the
mentality of the game for us to
have a chance of winning.

From the first time he stepped
foot on the Kansas campus last
fall, freshman Jamari Traylor
had to wait.
First, he waited to find out
if he would be eligible to play
last season. Then, he waited a
semester to be eligible to prac-
tice with the team.
Even after he was cleared to
practice, the closest hed get to
a game was going one-on-one
against All-American forward
Thomas Robinson in practice
every day.
But tonight, Traylors wait
finally ends.
Traylor will finally be on
James Naismith Court compet-
ing against players who are not
wearing the crimson and blue of
Kansas across their chest when
the official tosses the ball up
in the air for the tip off of the
Kansas mens basketball teams
opening exhibition game against
Emporia State.
Ive been waiting for a full
year, Traylor said. I definitely
want to get out there. Late night
was a great experience for me,
when I went out there, it was
like a weight lifted, and this is
just another weight lifted.
Traylor gets his opportunity
to start because senior Kevin
Young underwent surgery on
Friday after breaking his hand in
practice. Kansas is counting on
Traylor to fill Youngs role as the
high-energy guy on the team.
Through the first few weeks of
the Jayhawks practice, Traylor
has fulfilled this role. He said he
thinks of himself as a spark plug
when hes on the court.
What I want to see Jamari do,
is be able to do it in the game
and not just practice, Kansas
coach Bill Self said. Theres no
pressure in practice. If you miss
a shot its no big deal. That kind
of situation, hes never been in
a game. Jamaris just played one
year of basketball really ever and
so we talk about kids from over-
seas coming over and only been
playing two or three years. Hes
played less than those kids.
Self is also hoping that some
of the younger players will pick
up on Traylors energy, and they
incorporate that high-energy,
aggressive mindset into their
game.
He goes hard all the time,
Freshman Perry Ellis said. Hes
doing everything as hard as he
can, so its something Ill defi-
nitely be watching.
Ellis was the other player in
the running for the starting spot
and Self said he would be the
first forward to come of the
bench.
The other freshman joining
Traylor in the starting lineup
is Ben McLemore, who like
Traylor, had to sit out last sea-
son after the NCAA ruled both
players only partial-academic
qualifiers, and therefore ineli-
gible to play.
While McLemore was a con-
siderably more heralded recruit
coming out of high school, he
still has yet to play in his first
collegiate game as well.
My family is coming up to
see me play for the first time
in front of 16 thousand fans,
McLemore said. Im very excit-
ed, I cant wait.
