86 cars ticketed during basketball game

MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK

The Parking and Transit department issued 86 citations

Monday night during the first
basketball game of the season.
Donna Hultine, director of
Parking and Transit, said that
number is pretty typical for
the first game of the season.
One of the lots that is
blocked off for games is lot
90 by the Ambler Student
Recreation and Fitness Center, which is majorly a yellow
parking pass lot where many
students park. Hultine said
since its a mostly student
lot, if tickets are issued there,
it will be a majority of them
who receive tickets.
Of the citations issued, 62
of them were students, eight
were faculty and the other
16 were either unidentified,
visitor or non-university. Out
of the 86 citations issued, 72
were in lot 90, 11 in the Allen
Fieldhouse Garage and three

in lot 71, located between

Hoglund Ballpark and Allen Fieldhouse. Parking and
Transit issued a total of 226
tickets overall Monday, according to Hultine.
The parking department puts
up signs 48 hours in advance
of all games and its important
for students to be aware of the
schedule and the signage in
the lot, Hultine said.
Students who park in lot 90,
and have to be on campus for
other activities during basketball games should move
their car to another yellow
lot, Hultine said. Lots 61, 62
and 34, located next to the
computer science building
on Sunnyside Avenue are all
available after 5 p.m. for those
who have valid permits. Lots
300 and 302 on West Campus
are available to yellow permit holders, where there is a
shuttle to bring students to
campus.

Judge rules against Kansas

same-sex marriage ban

Federal judge Daniel Crabtree ruled

in favor of same-sex marriage for
Kansas today, when he granted a
preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs in the case, Marie v. Moser. The
injunction is a court order that says
court clerks cant deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Kansas.
Crabtree also put a temporary stay
on the injunction, which gives the
defense until Nov. 11 to appeal the
decision, according to a memorandum and order signed by Crabtree
today.
On Fridays hearing of the case, the
plaintiffs had requested the preliminary injunction, and the defense had
said they would appeal the decision
if Crabtree decided to grant it, but
Johnson said he has not heard the
defenses response since Crabtrees
decision came out today.
If the state says it wont appeal,
the injunction would go into effect
immediately, which means samesex couples in Kansas could possibly
start getting marriage licenses.

Bar takes unusual approach to fake IDs

DALTON KINGERY
@DaltonKingNews

Theyve been doing it for

as long as Bretta Mick can
remember.
At Louises, a bar located
at 1009 Massachusetts St.,
they take a hard stance on
fake IDs, with a sign posted
outside the entrance warning
patrons the bar will confiscate
IDs that they suspect are fake.
This warning doesnt deter
the bravest among underage
drinkers from making the
attempt anyway. Those that
do are usually caught, and
become immortalized by
having their ID stapled to the
wall of the bar. As of today,
there are 1,036 fake IDs lining
the walls of Louises.
Other bars confiscate fake
IDs the Bottleneck turns
away underage drinkers at
the door and throws the IDs
away, while Johnnys Tavern
North takes the IDs and seals
them away in a drawer. But
only Louises incorporates
comedic public shaming into
the process.
Once taken, they are
stapled to our wall of fame, or
shame, however youd like to
look at it, said Mick, who has
been a bartender at Louises
for three and a half years and
was an employee when the
bar hit the 1,000 ID mark in
February of 2014. No one
really gets in trouble, theyre
not turned over to the police.
The police really respect us
for not allowing underage
drinking in our bar.
Mick said the tradition of
stapling IDs to the wall has
been around since long before
she began working there.
When their IDs are taken,
most people are embarrassed
and dont try to argue.
However, some get mad or

try to argue that the ID is, in
fact, theirs.
Brock Sheldon, a doorman at
Louises, said these arguments
are usually short-circuited
by the doormen offering to
call the police to come and
verify the legitimacy of the
identification.
People freak out about
how the ID is really theirs,
and we usually just tell them
that they can call the cops if
they want to, and if they dont,
then it was obviously fake,
said Sheldon, a senior from
Emporia who has worked
at Louises since last April.
If it really is their ID and
they want to call the cops to
come and scan it, then thats
fine. The cops know were just
trying to do our jobs.
People have tried unusual
tactics to get their IDs back
when confiscated. One man
went so far as to offer the
doorman more than $300
cash to give his ID back.
Part of the reason for the
emphasis on not allowing
underage
drinkers
into
Louises is the bars need to
protect itself. The Kansas
Department of Revenues
Alcohol Beverage Control

division is tasked with

enforcing alcohol laws, and
will send agents posing as
regular bar patrons using fake
IDs into bars to determine
if an establishment is doing
its due diligence in keeping
out underage drinkers, Mick
said. If an agent is able to
enter the establishment and
is served alcohol, it will
typically result in a monetary
fine of $100-$250 for the
establishment, according to
the ABCs website.
You know, as long as Ive
been here, we havent really
had problems with underage
people, Mick said. Weve
actually never gotten fined to
my knowledge.
Mick also said the bars
well-known way of handling
fake IDs results in an older
and more mature crowd of
patrons, a sentiment echoed
by Sheldon.
Theres so many bars here
that you can get into no
matter how old you are. I
mean, we dont have the little
kids coming in and getting
way too drunk and acting
stupid, Sheldon said.
Although the employees
admit
that
preventing

WHAT A DOORMAN LOOKS FOR:

Brock Sheldon, a doorman at Louises, said there are a number of
different things he looks for when trying to determine the authenticity
of an ID.
The first is the corners and edges of the card itself; typically,
IDs that are not authentic will have noticeably worn edges and
peeling in corners.
Another giveaway is blurred lettering in parts of the ID, which
isnt seen in authentic IDs.
Sheldon doesnt rely solely on the IDs appearance either. Paying
attention to potential customers body language is important.
If they wont look up or try to keep their face from being
looked at, that usually tells Sheldon something is off.
Other tactics include trying to slip in with groups of patrons
that are of age, with some in front and some behind the
underage person.

underage
people
from
patronizing
their
establishment is in their best
interests, they say the biggest
reason they handle IDs the
way they do is out of concern
for the underage drinkers.
We want kids to be safe,
thats our No. 1 thing. Youre
not supposed to be drinking

underage, and there are cops

all over down here, Mick
said. If you get caught or
get a DUI, thats really going
to mess things up for you, so
just wait until youre 21.

Hawks Helping Hawks releases applications

MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK

Hawks Helping Hawks, a

student organization that
raises money to aid students
who have fallen on hard
times financially, released its
first application this week.
Hawks Helping Hawks started
last year with fundraising
efforts that raised around
$6,000. The organization
plans to distribute the money
once it receives and reviews
applications.
The group states on the
application that it plans to
give out aid between $250 and
$2,000. It will start reviewing
applications Monday.
The financial award packets,
which the group calls Hawk
Aid, is need-based. Those
applying are required to fill out
a financial need form as well as

a detailed request explaining

what they would use the
money for and what their
current financial situation is.
Cal Bayer, a senior from
Kansas City, Mo., and
president of Hawks Helping
Hawks, said the organization
fosters the idea of a KU family
that helps each other out when
in need.
We believe that when you
come to KU, you become part
of the Jayhawk family and any
good family looks after each
other and makes sure that
everyone is doing OK, Bayer
said.
Bayer said one in four
Jayhawks dont make it to their
sophomore year, and while
there are many reasons they
leave, Hawks Helping Hawks
wants to prevent financial
burdens from being a reason.
If you come into a

community and you already

know that people are looking
out for each other and care
about you, and you can care
about other people, we think
thats going to be beneficial to
any student that comes to KU,
Bayer said.
Dalton Willey, a sophomore
from Salina and vice president
of the organization, said his
passion for Hawks Helping
Hawks comes from his desire
to help other first generation
college students and help all
students realize they are a part
of a community.
I think that we help kids
realize that were not each
single individuals going about
our day-to-day lives with our
own independent struggles,
but our struggles can always
be helped by the University as
a whole and that if everybodys
there for each other, every day

can be a lot easier for each

student here, Willey said.
The group has done several
events this year to help raise
funds. The group held puppy
parties to get donations and
spread the groups message.
The majority of the money for
the aid is donated from other
University students.
Hawks Helping Hawks is
holding another fundraising
event Thursday at Sigma Nu
fraternity where participants
who donate can either smash a
pumpkin or hit a car for stress
relief.
The
applications
are
accepted on a rolling basis and
students can apply at any time
of the year. The committee
of students that reviews the
applications will look over
applications whenever needed.
For Bayer and others who
participate in Hawks Helping

Hawks, the choice to get

involved stems from a love of
the University.
If I couldnt go to KU, that
would be devastating for me,
and I wouldnt want that to
happen to anybody, Bayer
said.

US government lightens
PLUS loan qualifications
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjen

Next year, it may be easier

for students to pay for college with help from the U.S.
Department of Education,
which is making it easier for
parents to qualify for PLUS
loans, especially those with
bad financial credit. Changes
to PLUS loan regulations were
published in the Federal Register on Oct. 23, but will go
into effect July 1, 2015.
PLUS loans are federal loans
that require a parent to be the
co-signer for an undergraduate student, since students
usually dont have enough
credit history to qualify for
loans on their own. The PLUS
loan is used to cover the leftover cost if students still come
up short after other financial
aid has been applied to their
bills. PLUS loan interest rates
are currently fixed at 7.21
percent until June 30, 2015,
and parents cant borrow any
amount past what is needed,
according to a video from the
financial aid office.
To get the loan, parents must
pass a credit check, and if they
dont pass, the PLUS loan is
one less option students have
to pay for college. Students
with little to no credit history and whose parents dont
have good enough credit are

at a disadvantage when it
comes to paying for college
and graduating, so the department decided to redefine
what is considered adverse
credit history.
According to a press release from the education
department, the definition
of adverse credit history
had not been changed since
1994 when the Direct Loan
program started, so the department has redefined it to
match the current economy,
since economic changes over
the last 20 years have affected
many families.
Matt Melvin, vice provost
of Enrollment Management,
said the changes with the
loans shouldnt have much
of an impact on enrollment.
For academic year 2013-14,
2,580 PLUS loans were processed for undergraduate
students, according to Brenda Maigaard, assistant vice
provost for Financial Aid
and Scholarships. Maigaard
said their department already
provides online loan counseling through its website, but
students and parents can also
come to the office and speak
with someone.
If parents dont pass the
credit check for a PLUS loan,
they can either apply with an
endorser, which would be
a co-signer who would also

memorials in honor of Veterans
Day. The vigil will begin at 10 a.m.

of the Campanile.

have to pass a credit check, or

they can appeal the credit decision, according to Maigaard.
I dont think that students
are necessarily a reflection of
their parents, said Hannah
Sroor, a junior from Lees
Summit, Mo. I think were
adults and its shifting the responsibility, so if the student
needs a loan, I think that they
should be able to get that.
Mearyn Aramovich, a junior
from Overland Park, uses
other federal loans and an academic scholarship to pay for
college and said those have
been enough to cover what
she needs.
Aramovich said she thinks
the cost of going to the University is pretty average, but
said its definitely not the
cheapest. She said the changes made to the PLUS loans
will be good for students who
need extra financial help.
I think that if its more accessible and its going to make
it easier for more people to
go to college, then I think its
great, she said.
If students have questions
about financial aid, they can
visit affordability.ku.edu, or
if they want to know the difference between different
loans, they can find out at
ku.financialaidtv.com.

Jozee Johnson of West Virginia waits to enter Kemper Arena during the

developer with lawsuit
over Kemper Arena
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A developer
withdrew plans to renovate Kemper
Arena after the American Royal Association threatened a lawsuit, a
letter obtained by The Kansas City
Star shows.
An attorney for American Royal,
which hosts livestock exhibitions
and professional rodeos, told
Foutch Brothers in the Oct. 17
letter to quit its efforts to have
Kemper Arena declared a historic
structure, the newspaper reported.
The designation would have helped
with financing for Foutchs proposal to turn the arena into a youth
sports facility.
Foutch and American Royal have
spent months pitching plans for
the future of the arena. While
Foutchs proposal would preserve
the arena, plans by American Royal
call for tearing it down and replacing it with a multipurpose building.
The letter claims a historic designation would negatively affect
American Royals long-term lease
with the city, which continues
through 2045, for the American
Royal Complex that includes the
arena.

Edited by Alyssa Scott

We demand you cease your efforts with respect to the historic

designation applications you filed
over the citys objection, states
the letter to Foutchs lawyer, John
Fairfield. While we have high confidence you will not be successful,
those applications impair and
impact property which my clients
helped to finance and which we
have under lease for the next several decades.
When Foutch announced it was
dropping its Kemper Arena proposal, representatives of the development firm declined to give
more detail about why, only saying
the decision was prompted by circumstances beyond their control.
City Manager Troy Schulte said
he was shown the letter by Steve
Foutch and that it was the reason
the firm backed out.
Kemper Arena has lost nearly
all of its events to the downtown
Sprint Center in recent years and is
currently idle.
Though the arena is only about
40 years old it could still qualify
for a historic designation because
it has hosted the 1976 Republican
National Convention and many
championship sports competitions,
said Elizabeth Rosin, a Kansas City
historic preservation consultant.

Limited gameday parking rips off students

pparently, students,
faculty and staff
may park in the
spots they paid more than
$200 for only when its convenient for KU Athletics.
According to KU Parking
& Transit director Donna
Hultine, 62 tickets were
given to students who parked
in yellow lots 90 (outside the
Ambler Student Recreation
and Fitness Center) and 71
(beside Allen Fieldhouse)
and the Allen Fieldhouse
garage last night alone
the first night of the KU
basketball season. Additional
tickets (faculty, visitor and
unidentified vehicles)
tacked on an additional 24
tickets to bring the total to
86. At $25 each, thats $2,150
that KU Parking will pocket

in one night.
Granted, the signs that said
the lot was restricted past
5:30 p.m. were posted outside the lots, but why should
students move their cars
from spots they paid to park
in? Especially when students
often dont have a spare 45
minutes between class and
other commitments to walk
to their car, drive around and
find a decent place to park
and walk back to campus.
Its about as much of a hassle
to walk 10 minutes to the
car, drive 10 minutes to Park
& Ride and bus 15 minutes
back to campus.
Students pay $225 more
than half of some paychecks
to park in yellow lots.
Some have class or work past
5:30 p.m. They shouldnt

have to avoid parking in

spots they pay for just because of KU basketball.
Athletics pre-sells these
spots to Williams Fund

86

Garage. Sixty-two of
those tickets were
issued to students.

donors, so unless you donate

a minimum $100 to Athletics
and are an active Williams
Fund member, youre out
of luck parking in lot 90
on gamedays.

The larger picture, it seems,

is: Athletics has made it
clear it does not value KU
students, only donors who
empty their pockets for
prime basketball seating
(section U, for example) and
parking spots.
At what point will it
become clear to Athletics
and Parking that students
who are paying thousands
of dollars to attend KU,
much less an extra $200 to
pay for a parking permit
should come first instead of
deep-pocketed donors?
There are at least six other
lots Williams Fund donors
can park in for games, three
of which are not yellow lots.
While closing more than
half of the lots for donors
wouldnt be fair, lot 90, at

KANSAN CARTOON:

the very least, should still

be open on gamedays for
students who pay for the
spots. It has the most capacity and is where a majority
of off-campus students park
for class and work. Another alternative would be to
allow those with permits
who parked in yellow lots to
stay without consequence
and close off yellow lots to
new cars after the restriction
time.
Until Athletics and Parking
tell us dollars dont overrule
students, well park in the
spots we paid to park in.

students should be able to
answer all of those questions,
and more, by the end of the
semester. Youll even know
how to do things like take

Students at KU, regardless
of their major, should be
required to take personal
finance. According to the
Project on Student Debt, an
initiative of the Institute for
College Access & Success,
51 percent of KU graduates
in 2012 had student debt,
and the average debt was
$23,468.
In my experience, most
people start making financial
decisions as late as college
and stop making them
when you die. We should
be prepared to tackle these
decisions and problems
head-on, and by simply taking an introductory personal
finance course, we would
ensure that we at least have
a fundamental grasp of what
were dealing with and what
lies ahead.

OJOS Eyewear launched in February and encourages social responsibility and traveling. The companys motto is, The enthusiastic pursuit of fun and global citizenship.

MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU

In 2011, Tyler Reynolds was

a senior from Austin, Texas, studying human biology
and on track to graduate. All
it took to throw Reynolds off
that track was a nearly twomonth trip to Barcelona.
Surrounded by rich culture,
Reynolds fell in love with the
aesthetic and spirit of traveling. He decided to put off his
degree and pursue a different
passion. It was in Spain that
Reynolds created the blueprint for OJOS Eyewear and
eventually paired with University alumnus Phil Ozorkiewicz to make that blueprint
a reality.
Ultimately with what were
building, its something that
was going to be worth it and I
knew that going in, Reynolds
said.
OJOS is a sunglasses business based out of Venice,
Calif., that encourages social
responsibility and traveling.
The business motto is, The
enthusiastic pursuit of fun
and global citizenship. Reynolds said after stepping outside of his comfort zone and
discovering his passion for artistic expression in Barcelona,
he had a desire to help others
find themselves through traveling as well.
For me, that had such an
amazing impact because it
was a light bulb moment when
I decided I wanted to be more
involved in the creative process and inspire others to have
this moment, Reynolds said.
The word ojos translates to
eyes in Spanish, which illustrates the Spanish culture that

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
inspired Reynolds. However,
Ozorkiewicz said it also suggests something deeper.
You can spin that so many
different ways, Ozorkiewicz
said. Changing the way you
view the world and the way
you look at things, just changing that whole global perspective.
Reynolds took this perspective and passion and created
designs for the eyewear himself. Reynolds said the design
process is therapeutic for him.
I love sitting down and being able to create something

from scratch and see it come

to life. I think that process
clears your head, Reynolds
said. Its a creative outlet that
releases endorphins for me.
After a small launch party
at Tonic in Lawrence during
Reynolds senior year, he and
Ozorkiewicz created campaigns through Indiegogo.
After almost two months, they
had raised enough funds to
begin buying products.
OJOS Eyewear officially
launched on Feb. 7. Through
the process of starting OJOS
from the ground up, Reynolds

said the experience of entrepreneurship was and continues to be an emotional roller

coaster.
Theres small victories that
seem like massive victories
and theres small blows that
feel like massive blows, thats
just the name of the game,
Reynolds said.
With Ozorkiewicz and
Reynolds having paid their
way through college, the two
also share an apartment in
Venice that functions as the
OJOS Eyewear headquarters.
Ozorkiewicz said funding al-

ways presents a challenge.

Not necessarily having the
capital you need to get some
things done is a roadblock,
Ozorkiewicz said. Its just
something that motivates you
to work harder to get where
you need to go.
Since their launch, Reynolds
and Ozorkiewicz said they are
attempting to run a business
how consumers would want it
to be run. OJOS Eyewear now
has six styles that are each
available in two different col-

Scholarship program provides trips abroad

MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94

With the variety of 40 foreign language programs offered at the University and
the establishment of the
School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures starting as
early as next fall, Anne Wallen, assistant director of the
National Scholarships and
Fellowships at the University
Honors Program, said offering Critical Language Scholarships is a good fit for the
University.
The Critical Language
Scholarship program, which
started in 2006, provides a
rare opportunity for students
who are studying critical languages languages the U.S.
determines important for
Americans to know for trade,
defense or other strategic
reasons. The scholarship provides an immersive language
program and cultural experience abroad for two months
during the summer. The CLS

also covers the cost of most of

the cultural activities abroad,
room and board, airfare and
language classes.
The national deadline for
the 2015 summer scholarship
is Nov. 12. As it approaches, a workshop will be held
Thursday from 1-3 p.m. in
room 318 of Bailey Hall. The
workshop will provide help
for students who have already started the application
process. Wallen said students
who attend the workshop
will be able to put finishing
touches on their drafts and
enhance all aspects of their
application. Students who are
interested in applying for the
Critical Language Scholarship can contact Wallen.
This is one [scholarship]
that matches well to KUs
strengths, and weve had a
fair number of students get
the scholarship in the last
several years, Wallen said.
As a federal scholarship, it
focuses on representing diversity within the U.S. and

accounts for the diversity of

majors, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds and
more.
KU does relatively well
compared to other Kansas
institutions, but they still, at
the national level, would like
more Kansans generally to
apply, Wallen said.

... when you travel abroad,

you do things that you never
usually do, and I am glad I
did.
GARVEY BURROWS
Senior from Miami, Fla.

She said the application

process itself is a learning opportunity for students since
they write about themselves
and what they want to study
in a different way than they
would write in class. Students
will be notified in January if

they are finalists and will find

out later in the spring semester if they are receiving the
scholarship fund. Though the
CLS does not announce how
many finalists there are each
year, four students from the
University were scholarship
recipients last year.
Sally Kagay, a senior from
Topeka, was one of those
four. Kagay received the
scholarship to study Farsi.
She said she still remembers
the moment she received the
scholarship.
[I was] ecstatic, Kagay
said. I took a screenshot of
the email and still have it in
my iPhone.
Kagay said living with a
host family was one of the
best parts of studying abroad
in Tajikistan. She said there
were children in the family
she was staying with, so it
was a lot of fun to practice
the language with them.
Garvey Burrows, a senior
from Miami, Fla., was another recipient of the scholarship

from Kansas, he also studied

Farsi. He received the scholarship after applying for the
second time. He said the second time he applied he had
refined his Farsi-related experience, such as waking up
at 3 or 4 a.m. to Skype with
students in Tajikistan during
the past year and becoming a
Farsi tutor.
Wallen said prior application experience is asked in
the application questions as
a way to show sincerity and
long-term interest in learning the critical language.
During his time abroad,
Burrows said he remembers
leaving the city of Tajikistan
and camping on the weekend
with other CLS members.
I think thats the time I will
never forget, he said. I have
never been camping in the
U.S., but I think when you
travel abroad, you do things
that you never usually do,
and I am glad I did.

We want our eyewear to be

market in our motto, Reynolds said. That has a natural
travel aesthetic to it.
Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz
said that as travelers themselves, they know what can
happen when you are constantly on the move. It was
important to them that customers could get two pairs of
sunglasses for $134.
We dont want people to

Reynolds said.
Not only were the two set

THE DAILY DEBATE

Whos better? Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?

By Sean Collins
@Seanzie

TOM BRADY

n Sunday, Tom Brady

once again proved
that he was the better
quarterback between himself
and Peyton Manning. The
two pure pocket-passers are
arguably the best to ever play
the position, but Brady takes
the prize.
The New England Patriots
throttled the Denver Broncos
43-21 on Sunday. While Manning had 438 yards passing
and two touchdowns, he also
threw two interceptions and
couldnt keep up with Tom
Brady, who had 333 yards,
four touchdowns and only one
interception, which was his
first in four weeks.
Aside from the season, Brady
has always done more with
less. According to pro-football-reference.com, Brady
has only had four Pro Bowl
receivers his entire career:
Randy Moss, Wes Welker,

Matt Slater and Troy Brown,

along with one tight end, Rob
Gronkowski. For the duration
of his career, Manning has had
the luxury of having top NFL
receivers since he entered the
league. He has thrown to seven
Pro Bowlers: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas
Clark, Ken Dilger, Demaryius
Thomas, Julius Thomas and
Wes Welker.
Even with the lack of weapons,
what really separates Brady
is his postseason stats. Brady
has always been better in the
clutch, with an 18-8 career
postseason record, via NFL.
com. This includes three
Super Bowls in five appearances. Manning has struggled
in the postseason his entire
career. Outside of his Super
Bowl victory in 2006, Manning
has had an abysmal playoff
record of 11-11 (4-0 in 2006).
This record includes getting
knocked out eight times in the
first round.
Along with the win-loss woes,
Peyton takes much of the
blame for the losses, throw-

ing 22 interceptions in the

postseason. His quarterback
rating drops from a 97.7 in the
regular season to a 90.5 in the
playoffs. Brady, however, has
thrown for 43 touchdowns,
which according to NFL.com,
is two shy of Joe Montanas
record. Manning has 36 playoff
touchdowns.
Manning may have the edge
in many categories; holding
records for touchdowns in
a season and career passing
touchdowns. However, when
it comes to clutch situations
in the playoffs, Brady has continuously gotten the job done
more than Manning.
After Sundays matchup, Brady
is now 11-5 against Manning,
holding a clear edge against
him for his entire career. Manning may have the impressive
records and the insane regular
season statistics, but Brady
wins when it is most important, and that is what makes
him the better quarterback.
Edited by Kelsie Jennings

By Austin Wagoner
@AWagoner23

PEYTON MANNING

t 38 years old, this

could very well be
Peyton Mannings
last year in the league. The
only person that really
knows that is Manning
himself and his decision
may likely depend on how
the Denver Broncos finish
out the season.
Regardless, when Peyton
Manning hangs up his
cleats he will go down as
arguably the best to ever
play the game. Manning
will be in the top-five in
virtually every passing
category in the history of
the NFL. He just broke
Brett Favres all-time
passing touchdown record
and has currently extended
it to 515 with no signs of
slowing down. The man is
an offensive coordinator on
the field.

Tom Brady has had more

postseason success and that
is understandable because
he has won three Super
Bowls to Peytons one. If we
are going off Super Bowl
wins why doesnt Terry
Bradshaw come into the
conversation because he
won four? The reason is
quite simply Super Bowl
victories equate from a
good team not just an exceptional quarterback.
Brady has had great teams
every time he has won a
Super Bowl. He has had a
Hall of Fame coach sitting
next to him on the sideline
for his entire career. Peyton
has had five different head
coaches and has been
through a number of offensive coordinators as well.
To many people around
the league, Manning is the
most prepared quarterback
anyone has ever seen. He is
impossible to prepare for
because his photographic
memory will remember a
blitz ran against him ten

years ago or a play he ran

in the third quarter five
years ago, which makes
him almost impossible to
prepare for.
When asked how to stop
Manning by ESPN, New
York Jets head coach Rex
Ryan said, Weve got to
be like that goalie for the
Rangers, referring to
Henrik Lundqvist. Weve
got to stand on our head.
Weve got to play our best
game, theres no question
about it, and hope he has an
off day. Thats how you stop
this guy. In other words, it
doesnt really happen.
If this is Peytons last year in
the league, look for him to
hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
He will most likely have to
go through Tom Brady and
the Patriots to do it. Brady
has the series lead of 11-5,
but what a way out it would
be to finish on top by going
through his rival.

Bowen prepares for Iowa State, Mangino matchup

BLAIR SHEADE

@TheRealBlairSheady
The matchup Saturday will
be a special homecoming for
a former Kansas coach. Iowa
State offensive coordinator
Mark Mangino was the head
coach at Kansas from 20022009, and interim coach Clint
Bowen was the defensive
coordinator during the reign of
Mangino. Bowen met with the
media Tuesday to discuss the
Kansas matchup against Iowa
State and the Mangino offense.

Mangino taught Bowen to

Bowen learned the little
things do matter. Mangino
had everything so precise on
the team that he enforced the
players to wear the same gear
the same way every practice.
We worked hard and

Bowen said. It was just a
standard that was set that the
players had to meet at all times,
and it was philosophical the
way things probably should be.

Thats just the normal routine.
Any time we had a little extra
time on Friday, we always

Preparing for Mangino

The offense that Mangino

runs at Iowa State is similar

to the offense he ran while

at Kansas. Bowen said the
offenses are similar, but
football has changed over the
years. Bowen doesnt know
what the latest Manginoscheme is because the two
coaches havent talked in a
long time.

wrinkles, things going on
now that theyre up to what
everyone else is doing, where

E.J. Bibbs can line up as
a wide receiver and is very
effective running routes,
catching the ball, Bowen said.
[Bibbs] 260 pounds, runs
really well, runs good routes.
Hes a talented young man. Hes
one of the better dual threat
players in the conference.

Kansas has new cooffensive coordinator

Since the Baylor loss,

the Kansas staff has made
some changes. Kansas wide
receivers coach Eric Kiesau
will team up with John Reagan
to call plays Saturday. Reagan,
also the offensive line coach,

had a lot on his plate, and

Bowen wanted Reagan to pay
more attention to the offensive
line. Bowen said even though
Kiesau and Reagan will be
labeled
co-coordinators,
other coaches give their input
into the offensive planning.
The communication is
always bouncing off the wall,
really not just amongst the
two coordinators but amongst
the entire staff, Bowen said.
The coordinator just kind
of has the final say on what
he really wants and what hes
truly trying to put together.
But its always a collective
effort.

I remember sitting in the

Kansas City T-Bones press
box in CommunityAmerica
Ballpark after the Boston
Red Sox had swept the
Kansas City Royals in the
first series after the All-Star
Break. The Trade Deadline
was approaching and James
Shields inevitable departure
was just around the corner.
I will give them one more
series, I said back then to a
couple fellow media interns.
A loss to the Chicago White
Sox and its time to get
something back for James
Shields.
I wasnt the only one who
felt that way. Fellow fans
and local media alike were
echoing my comments. I remembered vividly 610 sports
host Danny Parkins talking
about the Kansas City Chiefs
reporting to camp at the
same time the Royals had
lost their fourth straight
since the All-Star Break.
History had done little
for us to believe otherwise. In the past the Royals
were asked just to get fans
through the summer and
to Chiefs season. Give us
relevance until August, and
we were just fine.
Last year was even better
than we could have imagined. The Royals were mathematically in it until the
final weekend of the regular
season, giving us relevant
baseball through September.
Then, the Chiefs gave the
fans a magical season that
led to a playoff berth following a season in which they
were the worst in the league.
Kansas City has been, and
always will be, a football
town. The Chiefs will dominate the talk at the coffee
shop as the fall draws near.
That was until this year.
The stage was set. Chiefs
players began to report as
the Royals dropped their
fourth straight loss following
the All-Star Break on July
21. But then it began. The
Royals beat the White Sox
and wound up winning their
next 11 series, a streak that
continued through the end
of August. It gave Kansas
City fans hope once more.
It wasnt the first time this
season the Royals had toyed
with my emotions. On May
29, the Royals were just
24-28 and beginning to slide
once again.
But a misfire from Blue
Jays shortstop Jose Reyes
allowed Jarrod Dyson to tie
it up in the ninth. Kansas
City then went on to win the
game in the 10th inning and
went on a 10-game winning
streak, the longest in the
majors this season.
Even last year the Royals
entered the All-Star Break
with a dismal 43-49 record
but went 43-27 to finish the
year.
Kansas City needed another huge second half this
season to make a magical
playoff run that ended with
a heartbreaking World
Series loss in Game 7 to the
San Francisco Giants.
But in its first playoff
appearance in nearly three
decades, the Royals needed
just one month to bring
baseball back for good in
Kansas City.
It remains uncertain who
will take the diamond come
Opening Day 2015, but one
thing remains certain. At
any point next year the Royals will have you losing faith,
only to bring you back in to
enjoy the ride.
Lets just hope the ride is as
good as this last one.

THE MORNING BREW

Kansas players deserving of All-American team honors

n Monday, the Associated

Press released its annual
preseason college basketball All-American team. This team
predicts which five players will have
the best season at their respective
positions. While not always accurate,
the prediction always ignites conversation.
The AP has chosen Duke University freshman center Jahlil Okafor,
University of North Carolina junior
point guard Marcus Paige, University
of Louisville junior forward Montrezl Harrell, University of Wisconsin
senior forward Frank Kaminsky and
Wichita State University junior point
guard Fred VanVleet, to represent its
preseason All-American team.
While many of the players on the
team are certainly deserving of the
preseason honor, there is a noticeable
lack of representation from the University of Kansas on the list.
The Jayhawks certainly have their
fair share of players who are deserving of being represented on the APs

All-American team. Two of those

players include sophomore guard
Wayne Selden Jr. and junior forward
Perry Ellis.
After averaging a respectable 9.7
points per game and 2.6 rebounds per
game, Selden looks primed for a huge
season. After lingering in the shadows
behind top-three NBA draft picks Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, Selden
looks to show the country why he was
selected as a McDonalds All-American in his final year of high school.
He should get ample opportunities to
showcase his athleticism and shooting
ability throughout the season.
Perry Ellis is another Jayhawk who

should experience a big

2014-15 season. After arriving in Lawrence in 2012 as a
McDonalds All-American,
Ellis has quietly (no pun
intended) developed into
one of the Big 12s leading
scorers. After averaging 5.8
points and 3.9 rebounds in
13 minutes per game as a
freshman, Ellis increased
his scoring output to 13.5
points and 6.7 rebounds per game in
his sophomore year. In the 2013-14
season, Ellis ended up averaging
19.4 points per 40 minutes per game,
according to Sports Reference. If
Ellis can increase those numbers,
he should receive no shortage of
All-American honors.
Freshman forward Cliff Alexander
is also deserving of cracking the
All-American lineup. In Monday
nights season-opening exhibition
game against Washburn, Alexander scored a team-high 14 points
on 6-for-8 shooting, grabbed nine

rebounds and
recorded three
blocks in only 17
minutes of playing
time. If those numbers are any preview
of what is to come,
Alexander could have a
special year.
Okafor, Paige,
Harrell, Kaminsky and
VanVleet are all deserving
of their preseason All-American honors. All of these players
will take on starring roles on their
respective teams and will have a great
shot to make a big impact on the
college basketball world in this upcoming season. However, there are a
few Jayhawks who deserved to have a
shot to be put on a list with those elite
players. Ellis, Selden and Alexander
will have a long season to make sure
the AP understands its mistake in
snubbing them.

Kansas looks to gain separation in Big 12 ranks

MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK

With just one win separating

fourth place Kansas volleyball
(16-7,4-5) from the bottom
of the Big 12, you could say
parity is a word that strongly
describes this conference thus
far.
Behind the top three Big 12
records of Texas, Kansas State,
and Oklahoma, six schools sit
within two games of each other halfway through the conference season.
A sense of urgency is likely
brewing in the Jayhawks, as
this parity shows it's going to
be difficult for Kansas to sweep
any conference season series.
Just look at this past Saturday's match as evidence. The
Jayhawks lost in five sets to an
average TCU team after pummeling the Horned Frogs in
Lawrence two weeks before.
Now, Kansas hopes to recover from that loss and beat a
Baylor team (13-11, 3-6) that
is only a game behind in the
standings.
"We got Baylor and [Texas]
Tech, and those are teams that
are biting on our heels a bit,"
coach Ray Bechard said. "We
could have created some separation with this match [against
TCU], but we kept all those

teams five and below on our

heels, so every match is going
to be important."
Unlike the scenario in which
Kansas first won at home and
then lost to TCU on the road,
Kansas has a chance at sweeping the season series against
Baylor in Lawrence after already beating the Bears in
Waco.
If history repeats itself, however, as it often does, this
match should be another tight
one.
Since 2008, a team has swept
the season series only once,
and that was last season when
Kansas swept Baylor.
One statistic favoring the
Jayhawks chances to win is
that the team has only lost to
Baylor once at home since
2008, and the challenge of defeating the Bears on the road is
already taken care of.
Then
again,
Baylor's
two-match winning streak is
also its longest in the Big 12
this season, so the Bears will
be coming in with momentum.
In order to achieve victory,
Kansas should follow one simple rule: stop junior outside
hitter Andie Malloy.
Although the Bears rank seventh in the Big 12 in kills per
set at 13.21, Malloy individual-

ly ranks third in the conference
with an average of 4.03 kills per
set.
Malloy alone produces about
a third of the offense for Baylor,
so shutting her down would

In order to accomplish that,

READY FOR A REMATCH

Kansas to face Oklahoma in first round of Big 12 tournament after Fridays loss

BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91

By Ben Felderstein
@Ben_Felderstein

n the beginning of
every college season,
whether it be football
or basketball, the powerhouses around the nation
start their season off with
weaker opponents. Whether
those opponents are Division II or Division I-AA, the
result is usually the same
the home team wins in a
blowout.
This was the case Monday
night when Kansas faced
Washburn for the first exhibition game of the season.
As expected, Kansas won in
a blowout, 85-53. Washburn
played hard and put up a
good fight but Kansas size
and superior talent ended
up being too much for the
Ichabods.
After a 32-point loss, it is
normal to assume a team is
feeling deflated and down
on themselves. But thats
not the case for coach Bob
Chipman and the rest of the
team.
It was a great opportunity
for us, Chipman said. We
were able to give guys an opportunity out there and try
to come together as a group.
This isnt the only opportunity like this Washburn will
get. The rest of its preseason
schedule consists of Oklahoma and Kansas State.
Washburn has the toughest preseason schedule in the
nation, Self said jokingly.
If there was a preseason
Division II RPI, theyd be
number one.
For Washburn, its not
about winning, its about
learning and enjoying the
moment. Its not every day
that Division II basketball
players get to play in the
greatest college basketball
venue in the world and go
up against the fifth ranked
team in the country.
During Washburns press
conference, Chipman told
the media that Self went and
spoke to Washburn for 15
minutes the night before the
game. Self talked to the players while they were shooting
just about basketball and
getting better.
It didnt look like it today,
Chipman said. But I guarantee you its going to be
worth five victories for us,
coach Self coming out and
talking to our group.
There is no better place to
play a game of basketball
than Allen Fieldhouse. For
a team like Washburn it
should be more about the
experience than the game
itself.
Id definitely say its the
atmosphere, said Washburn
guard Korey Fisher, who was
asked what hell remember
the most. As a native Kansan, you always watch KU
on TV, but you dont really
grasp what its like until you
get on the court.

Old and new fans alike reminisce on memorable Royals season | PAGE 8

On Halloween night,
No. 14 Kansas soccer lost
its final game of the regular
season in Norman, Okla.,
to the Oklahoma Sooners
in a game. A draw or a win
would have secured the No.
2 seed for Jayhawks in the
Big 12 tournament, which
begins Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City, Mo.
Now penciled in as the No.
3 seed, the Jayhawks are
slated for a rematch against
the sixth-seeded Sooners
at Swope Park Village in
Kansas City, Mo., at 8 p.m.
Wednesday.
Even though the Jayhawks
are coming off a bit of a
rough stretch losing three
of their last four matches to
close out the regular season,
coach Mark Francis said he
believes they have the competitive edge over the Sooners after dropping Fridays
game.
I think its hard to beat
somebody twice, Francis
said. I think the advantage
for us is that we lost. Our
guys are pissed off. Theyre
going into the game with a
chip on their shoulder because were playing the same
team that we just lost to five
days ago.
As if having the opportunity to watch Oklahoma on film and adjust the
things they were unable to
accomplish Friday wasnt already enough, the Jayhawks
have yet another advantage
on their side. Because the
tournament is only about
45 miles east of Lawrence,
Kansas gets the privilege of
practicing at Rock Chalk

Park. They also get to sleep

in their own beds in Lawrence, as the rest of the
conference resides at hotels
and practices on Astroturf,
which is not the surface the
games will be played on.
I think the traveling takes
a toll on your body, so not
traveling is going to be
nice, junior forward Ashley
Williams said. Were going
to have the most fans because [the game] is in Missouri, but its really close to
where were at. So those two
things will be huge pluses
for us this week.
The Jayhawks began the
season on an eight-game
winning streak, then lost
a match at Marquette, and
went on to win six more in
a row. They have the second-leading scorer in the
Big 12 on their side in junior midfielder Liana Salazar, who scored a third of
the teams goals this season.
They are also poised on the
defensive side of things, as
Kansas has only given up 12
goals all season, a mark that
leads the conference.
The biggest advantage of
all for Kansas seems to be its
senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn
Stroud, whose 0.61 goalsagainst average leads the Big
12 and only 18 other goalies
in the nation sit above that
mark. Her 13 career shutouts rank third all-time at
Kansas.
Shes a very good goalkeeper, senior defender
Caroline Van Slambrouck
said. Shes grown so much
as a player.
For the Jayhawks, the key
to a deep run in the postseason is to strike first and
strike early. On only one

Ellis embracing different type of leadership

SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane

There he stood, with media

members
crowded
around him, keying on every
soft-spoken word. Perry Ellis
seemed more poised on mens
basketball media day than in
years past. Part of that could
be because this is now his
third go-around, as he enters
his junior campaign.
I remember being 17 and
not talking at all, but its got
a lot better, Ellis said. Even
my interviews are out the roof
better now as I do this more.
Its no secret that Ellis is typically quieter than most of his
teammates. On the court, Ellis is the silent assassin, consistently providing reliable
production on the offensive
end.
That proved to be the case in
the first exhibition Monday.
Ellis was one of four players to
get at least 20 minutes. He finished with nine points, which
was tied for the third-most on
the team. He knocked down
four of his five free throw attempts on a night when the
team finished just 50 percent
from the line.
Even though Ellis averaged
the second-most points per
game (13.6) last year, he often
flew under the radar compared to freshmen Andrew
Wiggins and Joel Embiid.
Gone are Wiggins and Embiid. Replacing them are the

less prolific incumbent freshmen replacements Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander.
That leaves Ellis as one of the
older players on this young
squad.
Christian Garrett is the lone
senior for Kansas this year.
Ellis is one of four juniors
including Evan Manning,
Hunter Mickelson and Jamari
Traylor.
All eyes will turn to the
6-foot-8 forward out of Wichita, as the young Kansas squad
is in need of some direction.
Typically leadership means
being more vocal, making Ellis sudden new role a bit of a
challenge for him. Knowing
his team needs him to play
a bigger role, Ellis has been
working on the attribute he
has struggled with in the past.
Coach knows Im not a real
vocal guy, Ellis said. But
there are situations that you
need to be more vocal, and
Im working on that.
Despite Ellis taking on
this new role, coach Bill Self
doesnt plan to change a thing
about his leader.
In the past I felt like I had
forced some guys out of their
comfort zone, Self said. Im
not going to do that with Perry.
Ellis may not have to be
outspoken this year. In fact,
Kansas may have a few other
players who the newcomers
can look to.
Im going to have a bigger

role on this team, Traylor
said. Im one of the older
guys, so Im looking forward
to taking a leadership role
and helping out some of these
younger guys. Not too long
ago that was me asking the
questions.
Perhaps the most talented
player on the team is Wayne
Selden Jr. He was one of two
Jayhawks to start in all 35
games a year ago. But like
Ellis, he was often overshadowed by the likes of Embiid
and Wiggins.
Like Ellis, Selden may be

asked to take a bigger role this

year, not just on the court, but
off as well.
We have a lot of young guys
that are looking up at me even
as a sophomore, Selden said.
Its just about being vocal
and being supportive.
An example of that was
Selden taking the microphone
after the scrimmage at Late
Night and thanking the thousands of fans for coming out.
Regardless of who is more
vocal, it looks like this trio of
Jayhawks will lead the pack
this season. Self must feel the

same way since he brought

Ellis, Selden and Traylor to
address the media at Big 12
Media Day.
Especially for a team with a
streak of 10 consecutive conference championships on the
line, a group of experienced
players leading the way is a
good thing.
We dont want to be the
ones to end the streak, Ellis
said.
Well said by the man of few
words.
