With cell phones as bedmates
and college a necessity, the mil-
lennial generation is fast setting
itself apart from parents and
grandparents.
The millennial generation, or
those born after 1980, has the
highest amount of education,
with 54 percent having some
college education, according to
a 2010 Pew Research Centerstudy. The study examined mil-
lennials age 18 to 29.
With 83 percent of millen-
nials reporting they have slept
with their cell phone at some
point compared to 46 percent of
all other generations, its obvi-
ous technology helps define the
generation.
My phone is always by my
side, said Allegra Baxter, Olathe
junior. I use it for weather,
communication. Everything. I
think I definitely use it differ-
ently than my parents do.
The millennial generation
looks different than previous
ones, with 61 percent identify-
ing as white, compared to 70
percent of those 30 or older.Those identifying as black
increased from 11 to 14 per-
cent, with Hispanics increasing
the most from 13 to 19 percent
and Asians remaining at five
percent.
But the priorities of mille-
nials are not much different
from those who came before,
with parenting and a successful
marriage being the two most
important life priorities. Of
those 29 and younger, 52 per-
cent listed being a good parent
and 30 percent listed a success-
ful marriage, compared to 30
percent and 35 percent, respec-
tively, of those 30 and older.
For students like Chris Dill,
a freshman from Austin, Texas,
the priorities seem a little out
of whack.
Success, having a good job,
those are most important tome, Dill said. According to
the study, a high-paying job
and religion were some of the
least important priorities, each
weighing in at 15 percent.
But compared to those 30
and older, the success and reli-
gion set the generations apart,
with 21 percent of the older
generation prioritizing religion
and only 7 percent saying suc-
cess is a priority.
Chris Crandall, a University
sociology professor, said the
varying importance of priori-
ties between generations all
comes back to age.
There is the fact that the 30
plus people are simply older,
Crandall said in an email.Marriage matters more to a
35-year-old than to an 18-year-
old. And so, I think a simple
way to interpret the data is that
millenials are mostly like other
Americans, but that they are
less concerned about leading a
religious life.

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. this
Saturday, students have the
opportunity to make a differ-ence in the community.
The University will host
its fifth Dance Marathon this
Saturday in the Kansas UnionBallroom. Dance Marathon is a
program under the Childrens
Miracle Network that raises
money for children and theirfamilies at hospitals in the area.
Students stand on their feet for
12 straight hours supporting
the children who cant.Twenty Miracle Children
and their families have signed
up for Saturdays event. While
some are healthy and donewith treatments, others are still
fighting.
Kendall Kohnle, director of
public relations for KU DanceMarathon, hopes to work with
kids in need someday and said
the Dance Marathon is a life-
changing experience. She said
seeing how strong the kids are isencouraging and an inspiration.
The event kicks off with an
opening ceremony, followed
by a day full of music, food,games and dancing. Around the
World is the theme for this
falls Dance Marathon. A differ-
ent country will be representedeach hour with authentic food.
A closing ceremony will con-
clude KUDM.
Holly Good, a sophomorefrom Shawnee, said being a part
of KUDM puts a lot into per-
spective.
Seeing how passionate the
steering committee is makes me
think about what a big differ-ence you can make when you
stand for something meaning-
ful, Good said.
Even though its a dancemarathon, KUDM is centered
around the kids. Students are
encouraged to help in any way
they can. KUDM participantscan sign up in teams before-
hand to fundraise and get their
friends involved.
Participants can register untilthe day of the event for a $20
registration fee. At this point,435 students have already reg-
istered.The University hosted a Dance
Marathon in February, raising
$60,040.70. After this weekend,
Kansas will become the secondschool in the country to have
hosted two marathons in one
year. Their fundraising goal for
the year is $100,000.

WASHINGTON One day after
his surprisingly comfortable re-elec-
tion, a triumphant President BarackObama headed back to the White
House and divided government on
Wednesday with little time left for
a compromise with Republicans toavert spending cuts and tax increases
that threaten a new recession.
The president also is look-
ing ahead to top-level personnelchanges in a second term, involv-
ing three powerful Cabinet portfo-
lios at a minimum.
Republicans headed into a sea-son of potentially painful reflection
after retaining control of the House
but losing the presidency and fall-
ing deeper into the Senate minor-ity. One major topic: the changing
face of America.
Weve got to deal with the issue
of immigration through goodpolicy. What is the right policy
if we want economic growth in
America as it relates to immigra-
tion? said former RepublicanParty Chairman Haley Barbour.
Obama drew support from about
70 percent of all Hispanics, far
outpacing Republican challengerMitt Romney.
There was little time to celebrate
for the winners, with a postelection
session of Congress scheduled toconvene next Tuesday. By common
agreement, the main order of busi-
ness is the se arch for a compromise
to keep the economy from fallingoff a so-called fiscal cliff.
The White House said Obama
had made postelection phone calls
to congressional leaders and reiter-ated a commitment to bipartisan
steps to reduce our deficit in a
balanced way, cut taxes for middle
class families and small businessesand create jobs.
The president said he believed
that the American people sent a
message in yesterdays election thatleaders in both parties need to put
aside their partisan interests and
work with common purpose toput the interests of the American
people and the American economyfirst, the statement said.
Senate Majority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev., told reporters that any
solution should include higher taxes
on the richest of the rich. That
was in keeping with Obamas elec-tion platform, which calls for the
expiration of tax cuts on income
over $200,000 for individuals and
$250,000 for couples.Reid said he spoke with Republican
House Speaker John Boehner as well
as Obama Tuesday night as the elec-
tion results became known, and hedeclared that of course a compro-
mise was possible on the overall
issue.

County Sheris Oce booking recap.
A 20-year-old male University
student was arrested Wednesday at
1:24 a.m. near mile marker 11 of Kan-

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Puerto Ricans have endorsed U.S.
statehood or the Caribbean island
but also ousted the pro-statehoodgovernor in a close election.
Gov. Luis Fortuno conceded de-
eat Wednesday to his main chal-
lenger afer concluding there werenot enough outstanding ballots to
close the gap with his main chal-
lenger, Alejandro Garcia Padilla.
Te margin in uesdays vote wasless than 1 percent.
Now its time or us to come to-
gether as one people. Te campaign
is over, Fortuno said in a news con-erence.
Fortuno, as a member o the
pro-statehood New Progressive
Party, said he was pleased that 61
percent o voters endorsed becom-
ing a U.S. state, though critics said
the two-part ballot was conusing
to many and would not be enoughto persuade the Congress to accept
Puerto Rico into the union.
Fortuno, who is also a Republi-
can, was a supporter o U.S. presi-dential candidate Mitt Romney and
campaigned or him in Florida.
Garcia is part o the Popular
Democratic Party, which wantsPuerto Rico to remain semi-auton-
omous U.S. commonwealth.
Te two-part reerendum asked
whether the island wanted to changeits 114-year relationship with the
United States. Nearly 54 percent, or
922,374 people, sought to change it,
while 46 percent, or 786,749 people,avored the status quo. Ninety-six
percent o 1,643 precincts were re-
porting as o early Wednesday.
Te second question asked voters
to choose rom three options, withstatehood by ar the avorite, gar-
nering 61 percent. Sovereign ree
association, which would have al-
lowed or more autonomy, received33 percent, while independence got
5 percent.
President Barack Obama earlier
expressed support or the reeren-dum and pledged to respect the will
o the people in the event o a clear
majority.
Fortuno and Resident Commis-sioner Pedro Pierluisi, the islands
representative in Congress, said the
results o the reerendum will be
delivered to the Obama administra-tion and the leadership in Congress
with the hope that they will back
the bid or statehood.
Te ball is now in Congress
court and Congress will have to re-act to this result, Pierluisi, a mem-
ber o the pro-statehood party who
was re-elected uesday. Tis is a
clear result that says no to the cur-rent status.
Te island is currently a U.S. ter-
ritory whose inhabitants are U.S.
citizens but are prohibited romvoting in presidential elections. Its
resident commissioner in the U.S.
House also has limited voting pow-
ers.Garcia celebrated his victory with
supporters at party headquarters.
I can assure you we have rescued
Puerto Rico, Garcia said. Tis is alesson to those who think that the
well-being o Puerto Ricans should
be subjected to ideologies.

here is something spe-
cial that occurs at the endo October, and classes
shouldnt get in the way o it.
Sure the dog days o classes
are weighing heavily upon us,but instead o cracking under the
pressure we keep going on little
sleep and a whole lot o caeine.
Its basketball season. Tere is notime to slack. Te name Jayhawk
evokes a sense o pride and tradi-
tion. Te University o Kansas is
known or basketball. It is almostmandatory to love it in order to be
a Jayhawk. Here, we do it right. We
have lottery at 6 a.m., the camp-
ing all week long, the sprintingto the best seats, the waiting, the
newspaper ripping, the cheering,and ultimately the game.
I our world revolves around the
loudest sporting arena in the coun-
try and a legendary game with a
certain set o rules, then why isnteveryone participating? Frankly,
there exist students that do not
want to participate. Its crazy tobelieve, I know, but its true. Some
classes are held in the evening and
although I think its absolutely ab-
surd that attendance is mandatory,many are not canceled on account
o a basketball game. Proessors
should know that all students are
going to do is think o the game,check phones or updates on the
game, and not listen to a word spo-
ken. rust me, I know I am moreinterested in what @FakeJeWithey
will tweet next than what I am
supposed to be learning.
Dont even get me started onexams. Really? When a schools
essence screams basketball, why
is there an exam scheduled smack
dab in the middle o a game? I
want to watch the action on the
court, not draw pictures on my
scantron.
Many students matriculate tothe University or the sole experi-
ence o basketball in Te Phog. Itis a huge marketing point or the
university or athletes and ans.When I was in h grade my riend
took me as her guest to watch the
Jayhawks play at Kemper Arena
in Kansas City. From the momentI heard that rst swish o a three-
point shot, I was in love. I began
to truly appreciate the sport and
the tradition o basketball at theUniversity. Basketball means ev-
erything here in Lawrence. It is the
reason we buy the Sports Combo
pack. We love sports and we love
our athletes. Tereore, no one
should have to choose between
basketball and anything else.Ill ask the childhood question:
I you were stranded on an islandand could only have one thing,
what would it be? My answer: Jay-hawk basketball. It seems like a lot,
but its the one thing I cannot sur-
vive without. I bleed crimson andblue and will orever chant rom
the top o my lungs: Rock Chalk
Jayhawk!

Teres nothing more rus-
trating to me than attempting toshoot a crucial billiards shot in a
crowded bar. Im sure that comes
o as petty, but its true. When I
head to Ricks Place, I know thatmy mild orm o claustrophobia
wont be an issue. Ricks has been
my go-to social hangout ever since
I returned to the University two
years ago. L ocated at ninth and Il-
linois streets, Ricks has more thanenough interior space to compli-
ment a less-than impressive crowd
size. Billiards tables, shueboard,
darts, heck, even a homemadepopcorn machine is on tap. Te
music never gets too loud because
the owner, Rick, usually wants to
watch a baseball game or watchthe news. Its the little things that
Ricks provides that keeps me
coming back or more.
I know what a lot o you aresaying, why would I go to a hole-
in-the-wall bar when I could hang
out with more people at a more
popular bar? And honestly, Idont really have a legitimate an-
swer. I have my preerences or
going out and I respect everyone
elses as well. My point, and thewhole point o this column really,
is that a hole-in-the-wall joint
provides a comortable escape
rom our academically-demand-
ing lives in ways that Te Caveand Quintons cannot. Conver-
sations with riends can be bet-
ter heard, comortable space is in
abundance, and theres a vibe thatseems to echo, chill out, bro to
the drunken olk who grace us
with their loud and boisterous
presences every so oen.Either way, Lawrence is provid-
ing us with a plethora o pleasant
beer-drinking establishments, and
we should all be grateul or it. Iyou want to hit up Te Hawk on a
Wednesday night and stay past 2
a.m. turning you into a lumber-
ing human corpse stumbling downOhio street, or as my brother and I
label them, walkersthen by all
means party on. College is sup-
posed to be about personal ree-dom and experiences, and lord
knows Ive been a walker more
times than Id care to disclose.
Just dont orget about the Rickso the world, because they still
have plenty to oer in the realm o
modern drinking establishments.
Heres to sae drinking whereveryou decide to venture.

I youre a loyal reader o the
Kansan like I am, you know
that most o the outside
pages o the paper are only thereto protect the delicate Free For

texted the FFA at least once. Ive
even sent in a text (in an attemptto nd a Pok-angirl whos into
wimpy writers), albeit one that
was promptly shot down on the
grounds that it sounded too co-herent and contained a proper-
ly-used semicolon.
But many people orget that
theres an editor behind the FFA.And even though the FFA editor
gets a ew marriage proposals or
oers or casual sex per semester,
I dont think he gets all the re-spect he deserves or overseeing
the most important oot-and-a-
hal o type in the Kansan. So Im
writing a novelization o his ex-periences as editor, and you loyal
readers who havent yet moved
on to the real star o the opinion
page get a sneak peek:Suddenly, a whole bunch o
them came screaming around
the corner, sirens blaring. Te
uzz. As they pushed out o theircars and clustered around me, I
elt more stifed than the Potter

thing I could do was play dumb,so I whipped out my phone.

glanced down at my phone and
chortled, Look athat. Squirrelsattacked my girlriends pump-

it up or the boys in blue to see,
and they looked at me like youdlook at a guy dressed as Slender-
man on stilts.
You know why were havingthis little meeting, Editor?
Squirrels came back and n-

As I kept laughing, the rus-

had a right to be distressed; it was
the day beore Halloween, andshe was wearing a Sarah Palin
mask and a little red dress with a

Te dame was hysterical, andI knew the only way to shut her
up was to give in. Listen, the dig-

Theres nothing like going to themovies. As a kid, Id spend my sum-mer days at the local theater for a$2 matinee. For my first date, Isaw a horror movie and got to holdthe girl when she was scared. Evenin my senior year of high school,Id spend Thursday nights at themidnight releases of films. Movietheaters and movies in general haveplayed a big part in my life, and asan aspiring film journalist, theyllcontinue to do so. Unfortunately,$2 matinees no longer exist, myparents dont give me money fordates anymore, and with rent topay and too many trips to the bar,a night at the movies has become afinancial burden.
But despite rising ticket prices,3D glasses fees and high popcorn
prices, seeing the silver screen canstill be affordable. Whether youreinto action, drama or documentary,Lawrence has plenty of options forcheap movie buffs of all sorts.
The KU Collegiate VeteransAssociation has a free screening
of the documentary Restrepo at7 p.m. tonight at the KU Visitors
Center auditorium. The film fol-lows the deployment of a team ofU.S. soldiers in Afghanistan at theremote 15-man outpost, Restrepo.The film won the Grand Jury Prizefor documentaries at the SundanceFilm Festival in 2010, so its criti-cally worth checking out, and thescreening is sponsored by Coca-Cola, so the free drinks alone willsave $10 you would have spent atthe megaplex.
Also tonight is a snowboard-ing double feature at Liberty Hall.The first screening is the premiereof Absinthe Films 2012 featureResonance, which showcasesnotable snowboarders Scotty Lagoand Danny Cass alongside manymore. I worked at a ski shop inAspen for a bit and boarded asmuch as I could, so trust me, even
if you dont follow snowboard-ing, these films are a ton of funto watch. The event also featuresthe documentary Open Spaces,by Lawrence native Dalton Paley.Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and ticketsare $5.
War documentaries and snow-board flicks arent for everyone,
though, so starting tonight theStudent Union Activities campusmovie series is playing The DarkKnight Rises. For those who didntspend $15 to see it this summeror for those who loved it so muchthey want to see it again, here isyour chance. Tickets are only $2 forKU Students ($3 for general public)so check out the batty blockbusterat Woodruff Auditorium at 8 p.m.tonight through Saturday.
For a unique movie-goingexperience on really any day ofthe week, check out Liberty Hall.Weve all been to the AMCs andHollywood Theaters of the indus-try, but Liberty Hall is more than100 years old and serves beer. Thetheater shows mostly indepen-dent films but always offers aninteresting variety to choose from.
And if you cant fit a movie intoyour weekend schedule, Tuesdaysare 2-for-1 movie nights, which istotally worth the weeknight outing.Liberty Hall is currently screeningSeven Psychopaths and LiberalArts, both of which I would highly
recommend.So either find a lady-friend with
a big purse to sneak in your store-bought candy, or just try out a freeshowing at an offbeat venue. Eitherway, nothing compares to craning
your neck in a dark auditoriumwith loud speakers and slippingaway into the magical world ofmovies.

Its freezing, and the only thingsyou want to put on are your fuzzy
slippers and a warm hoodie from
high school. But please, Im begging
you to not give in to these dangeroustemptations. Just because its below
zero does not mean all fashion has
gone out the door. You can still
be warm and cozy while remainingstylish, and Im about to tell you
how.
While winter accessories such as
gloves and hats may sound dorky tosome, they are nothing but chic and
smart when done correctly. If youre
sporting those puffy ski gloves you
found in the garage years ago, thenmaybe its time for an update. Fun
styles such as leather and fingerless
gloves are a must. The fingerless
style is great for when youre still try-ing to use your phone or drive, and
can even be worn as a fun accessory
when its perhaps not even necessaryto wear gloves. Details such as pleat-
ing, cutouts, bows and zippers make
staying warm that much cooler.
As for hats, Im sure most of ushave heard from our parents how
important it is to wear this article
of clothing during the chilly falland winter seasons. Not only doesthis accessory help hide a bad hair
day and trap in warmth, but its a
great fashion statement as well. Ifyoure familiar with a fedora for
summer, let me introduce to you
the winter-friendly version. Rather
than wearing one made of straw, thewinter rendition is typically made
from wool, and has a wider, cowboy-
inspired brim. Opt for a color such
as burgundy or hunter green, twomajor colors for this season.
As for coats, the possibilities are
endless. For chilly fall weather, leath-
er jackets, trench coats, military-inspired cover-ups and capes are
must-haves. Add a pattern and you
have yourself a winner. Turn those
dreary winter days into fashionablyfreezing temperatures by searching
for a down coat that doesnt hide
your figure. It may sound like an
oxymoron, but not all down coatsmake you look like a marshmallow.
Knee lengths with a belt at the waist
help define a human body beneath
all that warmth. If youre lookingfor something even more fabulous,
faux fur can be found just about
anywhere, and the campus squirrels
will even approve. If youre not readyfor a full fur coat just yet, detachable
collars for coats, as well as scarves or
fur-trimmed hats, are a stylish start.

A unique show with local artistsis preparing to blow the minds ofits patrons with an upcoming per-formance.
The Kansas Citybased showQuixotic, which originally beganits creative ventures in abandoned
warehouses and buildings in theKansas City area in 2005, will per-form tomorrow night at the LiedCenter. Much like Cirque du Soleil,the groups routines cover a vari-ety of disciplines including music,dance, film and acrobatics.
Theres great production valueand great energy in all of theirshows, said Tim Van Leer, execu-tive director at the Lied Center.Theyre always adding somethingand reinventing themselves all thetime.
While the group is based inKansas City, theyve progressed toa national presence and now have
a national booking company andheadquarters in Los Angeles andNew York. They also performedat this years annual Technology,Entertainment and Design (TED)conference in Long Beach, Calif.
Weve gotten to travel all overthe U.S., and now we get to dobigger and better shows in KansasCity, Quixotics principal dancer
Laura Jones said. We used to doone big show a year, but now weveperformed for different workshops,corporations and performing cen-ters.
Jones, who has been with Quixoticfor the last four years, shared herthoughts on the shows style.
Its very unique because of thedancing, she said. We all reallylike the dance styles and love thatwe also get to perform to live music.Its fun to bring new ideas to life andalso explore new ideas.
The live aspects of the show alsoappealed to another one of the per-formers, Brandon Draper, whos not
only a contributor to Quixotic butalso an adjunct professor of percus-sion at the University.
The collaboration and creatingof new pieces has been great becausewere creating our own standard,Draper said. Everything the col-laboration and different disciplines is completely on our own andoriginal and local.
Draper, who has been contrib-uting since 2008, was originallyrecruited to the show to write apiece for them. Since then, hescontributed with the shows othermusicians and revealed that a fewUniversity students will also be par-ticipating.
We hope that people in Lawrencewill become fans and students cometo see boundaries pushed furtherthan before, he said. They mightsee different takes on how every-thing with the show works togetherand let their imaginations go fur-ther.

Robert Zemeckis makes hislong-awaited return to live actionwith the release of Flight, his firstnon-animated effort since helm-ing Castaway with Tom Hanksback in 2000. Viewers put off bythe doll-eyed languor of his CGIPolar Express and Beowulf can rest easy knowing the Back tothe Future directors abilities arelargely undiminished, despite theuneven quality of his newest work.
Flight is a well-meaningmlange, a drama that starts off as
a powerful, fiercely acted charac-ter study before nose-diving intoa forced, arbitrary resolution thatstrains credulity and contradictseverything the audience has bythen come to understand aboutWhip Whitaker, the alcoholicairline pilot played with implo-sive intensity by an Oscar-caliberDenzel Washington.
When we first meet Whip, hesshacked up in a hotel room withnubile flight attendant Katerina(Nadine Velazquez), nullifying theprevious nights hangover with afew liberal snorts of cocaine. It ismade clear from the beginning thatdespite a surfeit of skill and a back-ground in the Navy, Whip is a sad,arrogant waste of a man, one whocertainly has no business workingas a pilot.
Less than an hour later, this sameman is flying a jetliner carrying 102passengers in the midst of a rag-ing thunderstorm, his nerves fixedsomewhere between ice-veinedassurance and reckless mania.Suddenly the controls fail and theaircraft enters free fall. Whip, call-ing on all his experience and aconsiderable amount of dumb luck,manages to set the plane down in afield outside of Atlanta, minimizingpassenger casualties while execut-ing a complete inversion, a processthat requires flying upside down.
Zemeckis stages the crash withstartling intimacy, immersing the
viewer in a fog of fear and panic.The lurching chaos on display isoffset by Whip calmly comfortinghis flight crew, even when the planeglides close enough to a church thatits wings cut through the steeple.This is the most effective scene ofits kind since the ending of Paul
Greengrasss United 93.The rest of the movie deals withthe aftermath of the crash, includ-ing the investigation that kicks offwhen Whips blood tests reveal theapparent hero was legally intoxi-cated at the time of the accident.This prompts Charlie (BruceGreenwood), Whips longtimefriend and a pilots union rep, toelicit help from a flashy Chicagolawyer (Don Cheadle) who bragsthat his clients never go to jail.Whip, wracked with guilt over thesix deaths he may have caused,hooks up with a recovering junkie
named Nicole (Kelly Reilly, Dr.Watsons wife in the SherlockHolmes series) and tries to soberup in time for a hearing with aninvestigative bigwig (Melissa Leo).
Aside from Washington, Flightalso features several invaluablesupporting performances. JohnGoodman elevates his every scene asWhips jocular drug dealer Harling,whose arrival is usually heraldedby the Rolling Stones Sympathyfor the Devil (just one of the gemson the films oldies-laden sound-track). Greenwood, an underratedperformer if there ever was one, letshis characters brotherly concern
for Whip shine through his low-keyexterior in a way thats genuinelymoving.
The trailer for Flight suggests avery different movie from the oneyoull find here. This isnt a conspir-acy thriller or an action film in thevein of Washingtons runaway trainhit Unstoppable. This is a por-trait of a self-destructive alcoholic,similar in spirit to something likeLeaving Las Vegas. Washingtonscharacter is not meant to beespecially likeable, but his flawsnever feel less than fully, tragicallyhuman.
The downfall of the film isits unabashed Hollywood end-ing, which compels Whip to startbehaving in ways that only serve todrive the plot, closing the story ona note of sour sentiment, roughly15 minutes after a scene that wouldhave made for an ideal farewell.Its as if Zemeckis, after more thantwo hours of dutifully chroniclingWhips spiral of substance abuse,suddenly wanted to make anentirely different movie, adding aLifetime-worthy conclusion thatgrounds the rest of Flight like iceon the wings of a plane.

Beore every practice, beoreevery walkthrough and beore
every home game, the Kansas
Jayhawks are reminded o what is
expected rom them.A huge whiteboard with a list o
team goals hangs just outside the
Jayhawks locker room. I the goals
are met, a helmet sticker is addedor that game; i not, it stays blank.
his season the stickers have been
coming in patches, but that hasnt
altered Kansas objectives.he goals never change, Kansas
coach Charlie Weis said. You add
things to that list, you dont take
things away rom that list.At the top o the list: Win a Big
12 game. From there the list gets
more speciic. he deense has its
eyes set on holding their oppo-nent to under 21 points, less than
125-yards rushing and to make a
minimum o 15 disruptive plays
tackles or loss, umble recoveries,delected passes, etc.
For the Kansas players, the stick-
ers represent a point o pride, butnot every action gets rewarded with
a piece o adhesive art. For some
Jayhawks, their personal goals are
just as important.Its improvement in leadership
that has reshman quarterback
Michael Cummings ocused.
A leader that is looked up toby his teammates always leads by
example irst and speaks second,
Cummings said. hats one o thethings I like to do.
For some o the other Jayhawks
the goal is to play at their ull
potential, and the inability to reachthat isnt something a sticker can
bandage.
I expect mysel to do so good,
but I still am a young buck outthere on the ield, sophomore tight
end Jimmay Mundine said. Im not
happy at all because Ive got high
expectations or mysel. I workedhard over the summer to achieve
those goals and hopeully go above
and beyond those goals.
Mundine has been working tobecome more sound in the Kansas
run game. He said in practice heeels comortable with his oot-
work, but in games he sometimes
panics as a blocker. As a receiver,Mundine hopes to add onto his
total o two touchdowns this year.
I there is one thing about these
Jayhawks, its that they can see howclose they are to getting an elusive
Big 12 victory. he last ew years
o Kansas ootball has seen players
looking worn down as the season
has come to a close. With this teamits the opposite. here is optimism
in the locker room, and the players
eel closer than ever to getting overthe hump.
But getting climbing that hill
this year will require something
Kansas hasnt done since Sept. 12,2009: win a road game.
Id like to develop a mindset
that it doesnt matter where you
play, Deensive coordinator DaveCampo said. wo o our next
three are on the road. We can make
some strides.
Campo and Weis have bothreused to continue with the
same road plan they have used all
season. One o the tweaks is or the
Jayhawks to hold a walkthrough at
the road venue to get more accli-mated to the surroundings and
keep the players ocused on oot-
ball when they run out o the tun-
nel on Saturday.Changing Kansas road mental-
ity could kill two goals with one
sticker getting a Big 12 win and
doing so outside o Lawrence.
We all need to do a better jobwhen were on the road, Weis said.
In the last three games, thats not
the way its gone. hat would be an
add-on, not a subtraction.

Kansas basketball ans can
melt down with the best o
them, and uesdays awul
showing against Washburn, a Divi-sion-II opponent rom opeka, gave
them as good a reason as any to do
just that. But this isnt about the vast
dierences between a meaninglessexhibition and the regular season,
because anyone who watched that
62-50 abomination o a basketball
game topped o with the great
reeree im Higgins, who has neverseen a touch oul he didnt love
saw that Sel cared little about throt-
tling the Ichabods by 40 points. Histeam played badly, and at times he
yanked guys out aer one mistake,
undoubtedly trying to send mes-
sages beore the real games start to-morrow night.
Tis isnt about Kansas possibly
struggling to win its ninth Big 12
regular season title in a row, either.With all those puppies, as Sel calls
them, on the roster, it would be hard
to argue against someone picking
the Jayhawks to relinquish their Big12 crown.
But I gave up on picking against
Sel in the regular season last year.
Hes too good.Allen Fieldhouse is too big o a
home court advantage.Te rest o the Big 12 is not tal-
ented enough and too intimidatedby Sel and his teams, especially over
an 18-game conerence schedule.
But there are defnite question
marks.We dont have guys that will go
out and get you 36 between the two
o them over the course o a Big 12
season like Tomas and y did, Selsaid last month at Big 12 Media Day.
Tat will be the challenge to me is
having the really good players step
up and become excellent players.Te roster is ull o good players,
and or the frst time since 2005-
2006, there isnt a clear star or
group o stars, like 2008 as oright now. A ew o those puppies
will turn into all conerencetype
players, my vote going to Ben Mc-
Lemore and Perry Ellis.Senior center Je Withey will
eventually become that next great
Kansas big man, taking over or
Tomas Robinson, Cole Aldrich,Darrell Arthur and on and on. With-
ey averaged 9.0 ppg and 6.3 rpg last
season as Tomas Robinson drew
all the attention rom opponents.Tomas would get doubled,
and Je would beneft rom that,
Sel said at last months Big 12 Me-dia Day. Tis year, deenses will be
designed to stop Je, so him getting
12 points a game will show great im-
provement.Doubting Witheys ability to take
over that role isnt unwarranted. But
doubting a Kansas big man to take a
leap in production when given theopportunity is oolish.
Robinson took over or the Mor-
ris twins, who ollowed Cole Al-
drich. Aldrich ollowed DarnellJackson and Sasha Kaun, who sat
behind Wayne Simien or a season.
All o those players played proes-
sionally at one point.Te bottom line is, Sel said at
last seasons awards banquet, when
talking about the roster turnover
hes aced nearly every season whilecontinuing to win the conerence,
We do what we do.
Tere isnt a simpler way to put it.

COUNTDOWN TO
beatdown in Manhattan
sunfloWer sWeep
MANHAAN, Kan. Kansaswas struggling, and they were
struggling badly. For the second
straight match, the Jayhawks didnt
even compete in the irst set, losing
to Kansas State 25-13.Sara McClinton didnt care.
Heeding the words o injured
libero Brianne Riley, McClinton,the sophomore outside hitter, took
over late in the second set, record-
ing two kills and the set-ending
block to draw Kansas level withKansas State at one set apiece.
I got a lot o my mentality rom
Bri, McClinton said. Since she
couldnt contribute playing-wise,she was like, Ok Sara, you need
to have conidence in yoursel and
have the team eed o o it. Youre
one o the most calm ones rightnow, so use that to attack and
demand the ball.
Ater taking the second set
28-26, the Jayhawks won two more
extended sets, 26-24 and 27-25, tosweep the Wildcats in both season
games or the irst time since 2009.
Both teams had to scrap until
the end, though. he Jayhawks led24-22 in the ourth set, but a ser-
vice error and a Wildcat block tied
the set at 24. Sophomore outsidehitter Chelsea Albers respondedwith her 11th kill o the match,
and Kansas converted its ourth
match point on the next play when
a Wildcat attack went long.I had a eeling we had it the
whole time, and then it was 24-22
and they came back, junior setter
Erin McNorton said. I did get alittle nervous. I still thought we had
it, but once that inal point went
down it was crazy.
Coach Ray Bechard said he wasrustrated his team committed two
service errors late in the set that
could have cost them the victory,
but that his team proved their resil-iency by converting on their ourth
match point.
We made a lot o great plays toinally inish the set o, Bechard
said. But you cant have back-to-
back service errors at that point
in time. But thats a team thatsresilient in that they can ind a way
to make another play to make up
or that.
he Jayhawks are in the tough-est stretch o
their sched-
ule, hav-
ing alreadyd r o p p e d

Iowa Stateand Baylor.
With a home
match loom-
ing against Big12leading exas
on Saturday, Kansas was running
out o chances to impress the
NCAA Selection Committee.Ater the irst set, the only
impression Kansas made was
that it didnt have any chemistry
without Riley.
he Wildcats had two o their
six service aces in the irst set and
repeatedly orced Kansas out osystem with its serves. Without
Riley, the Jayhawks couldnt estab-
lish a go-to person in the back line
or digging. K-State took advantage
with 15 irst set kills.In the beginning it was super
shaky, McNorton said. I think
thats what gotus o to the bad
25-13 start was
our passes were
just not there, sowe had to resort
to out-o system
plays.
While Kansasback line strug-
gled at irst, its
middle blockers and outside hit-
ters made up or it at the net. Bothteams inished with 11 blocks, but
Kansas made more o them at criti-
cal times. Senior middle blocker
ayler oleree and McClinton
teamed or the block that gave
Kansas the second set, and Albers
was part o a late block in the thirdand ourth set that extended the
Jayhawks lead.
Four Jayhawk attackers inished
with double-digit kills. Bechardsaid McClintons 16 kills were
important because many o themcame in the irst two sets when
Kansas was still iguring out itspassing.
hey were a little out-o-system
sets and she took heavy, aggressive
swings, Bechard said. We talked
a little bit about competitive cour-age beore the match started, and
I think that was a good example
o it.
Kansas moved to 21-5 overalland 9-3 in the conerence with the
victory. he Jayhawks play at home
Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against No.

oFFeNseThe Jayhawks passing game has been an issue all year. Even with a solid run
game, Kansas inability to throw has robbed itsel o valuable points. We saw last
week against Baylor that playing high-scoring teams on the road would be the
ultimate challenge or the Jayhawks. It does have to take an Andrew Luck-type
perormance, but neither Kansas starting quarterback has completed more than
50 percent o its passes since losing to Kansas State.

deFeNseThe Jayhawks deense didnt do their oense any avors last week. Kansas gave up
21 unanswered points in the second hal ater a close battle in the frst 30 minutes.
Part o the problem was the Bears passing game backing up the Kansas deenders
and allowing Baylor to run. The good news: While Texas Tech boasts the ourth-best
passing game in the country, it has the worst run oense in the Big 12.
momeNTumTexas Tech presents many o the same oensive problems as
Baylor did a week ago. Quarterback Seth Doege has passed or more
touchdowns (19) than anyone else in the Big 12, while throwing just
seven interceptions. But the Red Raiders oense is somewhat one-
dimensional. Texas Tech averages only 3.5 yards per rush, so the key
to this game will be slowing down Techs passing game.
aT a GLaNce
This part o the season will
get very tough or running
backs coach Reggie Mitchell.
Kansas biggest weapon is its
stable o runners, but teams
are starting to catch on. Ater
rushing or nearly 100 yards
in the frst hal against Baylor
last week, James Sims fnished
with just 126 yards. Keeping
the run eective will be crucial
or the Jayhawks in their last
three games.
coachING PLayer To WaTch
Ron Doherty returned to orm last Sat-
urday with six punts averaging 44.3 yards
per kick. Fixing the pestering special teams
problems has been a huge concern or Kan-
sas coach Charlie Weis lately. Ater calling
or all hands on deck it seems hes ound
some more stability with the unit. Still, feld
goals have got to become a more viable op-
tion or the low-scoring Jayhawks.
sPecIaL Teams
?
quesTIoN marKs
?
Can James Sims keep up his streak o 100-yard rushing games?
The Jayhawks certainly need his production. Will Texas Tech tempt
Weis to opt or more passes? Since becoming the Jayhawks starter,
Michael Cummings has only completed 22 o 49 pass attempts.
And will the Jayhawks score more than 20 points? They havent
been able to do so since putting up 23 on Northern Illinois in week
our.
Kansas can perorm on the road
like it does at home. The Jayhawks
have been able to limit high-scor-
ing oenses to 21 points or less
in Lawrence, but not on the road.
Staying competitive until the end
is the next challenge or Kansas.

oFFeNseTexas Techs oense is red hot and one o the best in the Big 12. Texas Tech leads the
conerence or most passing touchdowns. Led by quarterback Seth Doege and a strong
oensive line, the Red Raiders oense is mostly passing oriented. Doeges thrown 31
touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year and hopes to improve his numbers against
Kansas. Running backs Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens Jr. have not been involved in
game plans very much. Expect the Red Raiders to go pass heavy on the Jayhawks.
