OBITUARY
BY ALLYSON SHAW

Forever 22.
At those words, the chapel, filled
to capacity with family and friends,
shook with sobs at the funeral of
Stephanie Marie Conn and Daniel
Jake Henry in Bonner Springs. The
two died in a car accident Oct. 10
and were remembered Friday morn-
ing.
The entrance to the church
showcased Stephanies guitar, Jakes
c h i l d h o o d
soccer shoes,
Stephanies char-
coal sketches of
faces and Jakes
hockey mask.
A photo col-
lage sat on the
table a bulletin
board that could
have hung in
Stephanies room just a short while
ago.
The families asked that people
who wanted to send flowers would
instead contribute to the Jacob Henry
and Stephanie Conn Scholarship
Funds. But some must have chosen
to do both, because the front of the
church was alive with hundreds of
flowers.
Pastor Margi Colerick of the First
Christian Church of Bonner Springs
spoke for both families as she read
the eulogies of the Jake, 21, and
Stephanie, 22.
Colerick quoted Stephanies
grandmother, Evelyn Conn, who
had dinner with Stephanie on the
evening of the crash.
She and Jake were perfect togeth-
er and Im happy theyre together
now, she said.
Stephanie and Jake had known
each other since the fifth grade,
Colerick said. Jakes family remem-
bered hearing a young voice on the
phone and watching a young Jake
blush bright red as he took the phone
to another room.
The two began dating in the sev-
enth grade.
We had so looked forward to
watching you and Steffy get married
and build a fam-
ily together, said
the Henry family
in the eulogy.
Chanc el l or
B e r n a d e t t e
Gr a y - L i t t l e
called them
two bright
young people.
She stood in the
back of the chapel, amid many more
friends who couldnt find seats, wip-
ing her eyes.
Jake was, among other things, a
big brother to Collin Henry, a senior
at Bonner Springs High. In Jakes
eulogy, members of the Henry fam-
ily said Jake had recently written to
his mother, thanking her for raising
him the right way. He said he was
so happy to have been born into his
family.
Jake and Stephanie were on their
way back to the University on Oct.
10 when the accident occurred. The
couple studied hard, watched KU
sports, laughed a lot and loved each
other.
Stephanies aunt Cindy Conn
remembered a shopping trip with
Stephanie when she was a child.
Stephanie asked about death. Cindy
told her although you cant see or
touch those who have died you can
still talk to them. Stephanie and her
aunt were soon having an in-depth
conversation with dinosaurs.
I cant wait to see you again,
Cindy said at the service. But until
then, Ill be talking to you.

He was the kind of guy who
would break into an Irish jig
just to make his friend Maggie
laugh, or burst into an infec-
tious giggle when his fam-
ily called him by his nickname,
Furby. Daniel Jacob Henry, bet-
ter known as Jake, was a KU
senior from Edwardsville. He
was the kind of guy everyone
called friend.
Jake had an inside joke
with just about everyone, said
Cameron Buck, a senior from
Edwardsville. Everyone liked
Jake.
Jake and his girlfriend of
seven years, Stephanie Conn,
died Oct. 10 after his 2002
Saturn Sedan was hit in a head-
on collision on Kansas Highway
32.
The two, who were voted
cutest couple while at Bonner
Springs High School, were
known for their close and
healthy relationship.
We all just assumed that
theyd get married and have
freakin cute kids, said Maggie
Hackney, an Edwardsville resi-
dent.

When Stephanie Marie Conn
lived in Oliver Hall, the R.A.
on her floor often had to ask
her not to laugh so loudly.
Her laugh was contagious and
it would send her friends into
giggle fits.
I laugh to this day thinking
about Stephanies laugh, Cori
Wallace, a friend of Stephanies
and a senior at Washburn
University, said. It could
brighten anyones day.
Three years later, on the night
of Oct. 10, Stephanie, a senior
from Bonner Springs, and her
boyfriend Daniel Jake Henry
died in a car accident.
Stephanies close friend and
freshman roommate Michaela
Mortensen, a senior from
Bonner Springs, said Conn was
best known for her big, genuine
smile that never left her face.
She didnt have a mean bone
in her body, Mortensen said.
She never met a stranger.
Stephanie and Jake were driv-

Fritzie transferred
to Colorado hospital
matthew Fritzie, a freshman
from stilwell who was injured
during a Phi Gamma delta frater-
nity party, was transferred sept.
27 to a denver-area rehabilitation
hospital specializing in spinal
cord and traumatic brain injuries,
hospital ofcials confrmed
Friday.
Fritzie was transferred from
the University of kansas Hospital
to craig Hospital in englewood,
colo.
the Us news and World report
has ranked craig Hospital as a
top 10 rehabilitation center in the
nation for 21 consecutive years,
since 1989 when the rankings
started.
Fritzie was life-fighted from
the Phi Gamma delta fraternity
house, 1540 Louisiana st., to the
kU Hospital on sept. 17 for head
trauma after he dove into a tem-
porary pool made from sandbags.
According to a University report
on its hazing investigation into
the fraternity, Fritzie said he was
ordered to swan-dive into the
pool.
the University placed the
fraternity on a two-year proba-
tion for violating the Universitys
hazing policy. some activities
related to the sept. 17 party were
part of the violation. However, its
investigation did not substanti-
ate that Fritzies injuries were the
result of hazing.

BSU asks students
to put down cells
What do cellular phones, air
conditioning and stop lights
have in common? they are all
on the list of items that the
black student Union will ask
students to go without for
Homecoming Week. bsUs road
trip into black campaign is a
challenge to the kU community
to go without the inventions of
black Americans.
the bsU has a lot of history
with kUs homecoming, said
kameron mack, bsUs Program
chair.
mack said this is due in part
to an incident in 1970, when a
black student fought to become
kUs frst African American
homecoming queen. the bsU
supported her fght and made
her its homecoming queen. Af-
ter which, bsU began a tradition
of electing its own homecom-
ing queen and remains the only
kU organization to continue to
do so today.
According to bsU Vice
President Vincent cunigan,
the continuing impact of this
moment in black history is the
inspiration behind this years
charge on kU students to go
without black American inven-
tions. cunigan said the ques-
tion of what would happen if
there could not be an African
American king or queen led to
further questioning the infu-
ence of black Americans.
From oct. 18 through oct. 22,
students can see for them-
selves. during the week, bsU
members will be tabling at
Wescoe encouraging students
and faculty to take part. For
those who may have a difcult
time going without the use of
a cell phone or stop light for an
extended period of time, other
items on the list include peanut
butter and key chains, invented
by George Washington carver
and F.J. Loudin, respectively.

Jake always stood out as a
smart kid when he was growing
up. While other boys his age were
playing with Buzz Lightyear action
figures, Jake carried around and
read from his familys giant atlas of
road maps.
He would just sit and study
the lines and places, said Joyce
Fuentes, one of Jakes aunts. That
was very like him.
As he got older, Jake began to
apply his love of learning and
knowledge to the world of sports.
He could tell you about polo
in Britain and just give you the
most obscure statistic about any
sport, Fuentes said. He was a
sports nut.
Never one
for the side-
lines, Jake had
an interest in
sports that car-
ried him onto
the field, where
he dabbled in
games such as
soccer, tennis
and intramu-
ral softball. He
even planned to build a career
around athletics as he pursued a
major in sports management at the
University. For all of his interest in
sports, golf was one in which Jake
truly found his niche.
In high school Jake played with
the varsity team and often went to
the area golf course to hit around
with friends.
There was a big group of us
on the team and we all just sort
of hung out together, Hackney
said. We were kind of the nerds
whom people liked because we had
a sense of humor.
Jake himself possessed a strong
sense of humor. Friends described
him as a goofy, animated guy who
could take a joke as well as he could
give it.
If any of us
ever got burned
by his or some-
one elses joke
Jake would
always shout
hey-oh and
just make fun of
the situation,
Hackney said.
Of all the
traits that Jake embodied, his genu-
ine kindness was the one that stood
out most.
He always took time out of the
day to talk to me or help me out if
needed, said Luke Terrell, Jakes
co-worker at the Nike Factory
Outlet in Kansas City, Kan.
He was and will always be the
true definition of a friend.
Jake is survived by his mom
Connie, his dad Steven and his
younger brother Collin.

after he left work.
The couple began dating in
middle school and continued to
date during high school at Bonner
Springs High. They were voted
cutest couple in their graduating
class.
They both became pretty
famous around high school for
their awesome relationship, said
Rikkiann Burns, a friend from
Bonner Springs. They just seemed
to complete each other.
Mortensen said Stephanie was
artistic and creative, and she
impressed everyone with her paint-
ings and drawings. Stephanie also
sang with the KU Concert Choir
and played guitar and saxophone.
Music was always important to
Stephanie and she was a huge fan
of both Ben Folds and Elton John,
Mortensen said. Mortensen said
she wouldnt go anywhere without
some form of music.
She lit up the whole choir with
her enthusiasm, said choir direc-
tor Paul Tucker.
Stephanie changed her major
many times but intended to gradu-
ate in May with a degree in psy-
chology.
She just wanted to be every-
thing and do everything, Wallace
said. And she had the drive and
motivation to do it.
On the day of the crash Stephanie
had dinner with her grandmother.
She had never been to the Olive
Garden before, and when she
looked at the prices, she apologized
to her grandmother.
She was the brightest star in our
family, the Conn family wrote in
Stephanies eulogy. If you met her,
you liked her. If you knew her, you
loved her.
Family members said they
had looked forward to watching
Stephanie and Jake build a life
together.
She and Jake were perfect
together and Im happy theyre
together now, said Evelyn Conn,
Stephanies grandmother.
Stephanies interests inevitably
mixed with Henrys. Anywhere
Henry went, Stephanie went too,
said Cameron Buck, a senior from
Edwardsville and a close friend of
the couple.
She loved Jake with everything
she had, Buck said. When shed
hang out with us she was one of
the guys.
Stephanie and Jake were the
ideal couple, Mortensen said. They
intended to get married after grad-
uation.
It would only make sense that
they left this world together,
Mortensen said. They wouldnt
have been able to live without one
another.
Stephanie is survived by her
parents Steve Conn and Shellie
DeCock; her grandparents Evelyn
Conn, Vernon Conn and William
and Linda DeCock; and her aunts
and uncles, Vernon W. Conn,
Cindy Conn and Don Seymour,
Kim DeCock and Danny DeCock.

PHILADELPHIA The
undead have created a whole new
life for Quirk Books, the brains
or rather the BRAAAINS!
behind the monster best-
seller Pride and Prejudice and
Zombies.
Quirk, an independent pub-
lisher that started with a series
of tongue-in-cheek guides for
surviving highly unlikely misfor-
tunes, has established the hybrid
mashup genre-bending of out-
of-copyright classics and horror-
fied kitsch.
It has in a way become kind
of a modern, or a postmodern,
classic, said Quirk president
and founder David Borgenicht,
whose 15-person staff works in
an inconspicuous building on a
cobblestone-paved side street in
Philadelphias Old City neigh-
borhood. That wasnt at all our
intent. It was simply too crazy not
to publish.
Ever look at something and ask
yourself why you didnt think of it
first? Thats one way Quirk comes
up with its titles.
When we have an idea and
say, If this was a book, Id buy
it, Borgenicht said, that instinct
is key.
It was creative director Jason
Rekulaks idea to add lumbering
hordes of discourteous flesh-eat-
ers to Jane Austens 19th-century
comedy of manners, Pride and
Prejudice, spawning a monstrous
hit.
Pride and Prejudice and
Zombies, Quirks first foray into
fiction, debuted in April 2009 at
No. 3 on The New York Times
best-seller list. It since has sold
more than a million copies,
been translated into nearly two
dozen languages, been made into
a graphic novel and an iPhone
game, and been optioned for the
big screen.

education, if not necessarily
their lives. Adding extra
courses to the required
curriculum can mean
diversion and distraction.
Of course, the primary
justifcation for mandating
that students take courses in
a variety of disciplines is that
it will prompt them to explore
other areas of potential strength.
You may still wind up a political
science major at the end of
the day, but did those three
semesters of English really do
that much damage?
Te vast number of
undecided students clearly
beneft from dabbling in
diferent departments. While
many colleges impose no
general education requirements
on their students, fguring
fexibility will be much
appreciated, such an approach
can leave those of undetermined
majors feeling directionless.
Surely such students need the
nudge of some sort of standard
curriculum.
As compelling as that line
of thinking is, its really not
the most essential reason for
the University to maintain
general education requirements.
Common courses in subjects
like the humanities and the pure
sciences instill various modes
of thinking in students a
hard-to-quantify but critical
component of the educational
experience.
Tats why its so troubling
to read of the recent action
taken at the State University
of New York at Albany. Facing
budget shortfalls, the university
axed various programs in the
humanities always the prime
target when schools are looking
to make cuts. In turbulent
economic times, the argument
goes, its more important to
support instruction in the
principles of business than the
ethics of Aristotle.
While humanities programs
at the University are not
imminently imperiled, the
impending withdrawal of
federal stimulus funds is sure
to spur scrutiny of areas to
trim. Slashing support for the
humanities would represent
the triumph of small-minded,
short-term thinking.
Te practical skills one
acquires from an applied
science course are not to be
discounted. But to claim that
they are any more crucial to a
quality education is woefully
misguided. Philosophy,
literature, art, history and music
foster creative minds attuned to
the diversity of human thought,
potential, and character.
Such cultivation is no less
important to the aspiring
corporate leader than to a
budding academic. Indeed,
amid a crisis fueled by a go-go
ethos of greed, malfeasance, and
neglect of the long-term, the
importance sensitivity to ethical
and moral values has only been
compounded.
In Gustave Flauberts
Madame Bovary, Emma is
undone by the unattainable
notions of happiness she
has developed from reading
romantic novels. Ironically,
though, Flauberts book
underscores why we need a
populace that reads. His insights
into human nature and the
nature of happiness not only
make for stimulating classroom
discussion; theyre tremendously
relevant to how we approach our
daily lives and relations with our
fellow human beings.
Fewer and fewer students
are undertaking a humanities-
based course of study. But
although theres much to be said
for majoring in, say, English
or history, its most critical to
ensure that in the face of tough
choices, students from other
disciplines are not deprived of
the richness of the humanities.
Even if that required two-
semester sequence of Western
Civilization initially triggers eye
rolls.

F
or the frst time in KU
Dining Services history, a
cafeteria has found a home
on the west side of campus.
Up until now, the only dining
option for students
on West Campus
was Mrs. Es and
thankfully, the
ever-expanding KU
campus has now
provided quality
dining for those
who may not want
to make the trek to
Daisy Hill.
Dont let the
pharmaceutical
theme fool you.
Te cafeteria may be located in the
new pharmacy building, but all
KU students are welcome to come
and feast. Te dining hall is called
Mortar and Pestle Caf, which is
named afer the tools pharmaceuti-
cal workers use. Te cafeteria ofers
several food options, as well as a
Pulse store for
soda and cofee.
Te $45 mil-
lion expansion
of the School
of Pharmacy
has proved to
be a benefcial
addition to this
University. Te
funding came
from the Kan-
sas government
to help meet the
growing demands for pharmaceuti-
cal workers in Kansas. Te original
facilities had outgrown Malott
Hall, and now classrooms on West
Campus can accommodate all 150
pharmacy students and non-majors
that are interested in taking phar-
macy classes.
With the growing role that West
Campus is taking in extending
what the University has to ofer, the
cafeteria only improves the value of
our University. Te large campus
that the University possesses will
only continue to grow, but it is
important to continue to make stu-
dents on the West side of campus
feel apart of the overall Jayhawk
community.

I
ve come to the conclusion
that Facebook causes more
frustration in my life than it
provides entertainment. Aside
from the occasional catch-ups
with old friends and the hilarious
textsfromlastnight.com wall posts,
Facebook doesnt do much for me
anymore.
For a majority of us, Facebook
has been a part of our social lives
for as long as weve had real social
lives. So, were kind of oblivious to
its negative efects it has us.
Tink about it. Without
Facebook we wouldnt have to
spend an hour creeping and
comparing ourselves with our ex-
boyfriends new fing (or whoever
appears to be his fing based on
evidence of recently tagged pictures
and firty wall posts). We wouldnt
be jealous of that bitch from high
school whose apparently perfect
life always makes its way into our
newsfeed, forcefully updating us
on everything from her summer
abroad to her authentic obsession
with the Jersey Shore.
I think Betty White said it
best on Saturday Night Live:
Facebook just sounds like a drag.
In my day, seeing pictures of other
peoples vacations was considered
a punishment. In my day we had
a phonebook, but we certainly
wouldnt waste an afernoon with
it.
But the problem is that we are
used to an unnecessary amount
of updates and images of them
continue to crowd our social
database. Its normal to us to
spend countless hours envying
lives of people we really dont know
(because lets face it: everyones lives
look more fabulous on Facebook;
were trained to make it look like
that).
Like every other mass medium,
Facebooks main objective is to
make money. Call me crazy, but I
dont think Mark Zuckerburg really
cares that his website just derailed
all of your progress of getting over
your ex or that his site absorbs
millions of hours that college
students could be working on their
GPAs. He just wants you clicking
on his site and generating more
money.
And if the social media world
were flled with all blue skies and
butterfies, all this over-exposure
would be all right. But the culture
were surrounding our online
world in isnt a self-assuring one.
Its a proft-driven one. And unlike
nearly any other social network
before it, Facebook collects
personalized data of everyone of
its users, tracking everything from
your music interest to tallying your
clicks on a friend.
I used to think it was ironic that
my ex-boyfriends would always
appear (sometimes together) in the
recommended tab on the right
side of my screen. Until I realized
that Facebook keeps record of
the people who I have been in a
relationship with. It would make
sense for them to provoke more
activity on the site.
A recent study in observance
of Mental Health Week released
data at the beginning of the month
stating that college students are 17
percent more likely to be depressed
now than fve years ago.
Call me crazy, but I cant help but
blame Facebook for this statistic.
College students spend more time
on Facebook each year because
college students like me continue to
routinely visit the site unknowingly
get sucked into wasting time and
emotional energy entranced by the
online community.
Facebook is depressing because
the digital documentation of
our social lives falsely flls the
millennials cultural need to feel
connected and infuential. It
cheapens communication between
us. It weakens the insecure while
strengthening the corporate
infuence and income.
Most importantly, while we
spend our hours absorbing
information we do not need
to know, we are wasting time
we could be spending actually
participating in our social lives and
not distantly observing it from a
computer screen.
But I do still see some benefts
of Facebook, so Im not suggesting
our culture should diminish
its existence. Im suggesting we
start looking at it from a more
knowledgeable and less emotional
perspective.

The theory of evolution is not dependent on faith. People need
to stop saying that. The basic mechanism is demonstrably true
and can be shown in a laboratory setting (microevolution.) The
remaining evidence is found in fossil records and existing rela-

is no evidence that it is untrue. People who question evolution
say there isnt enough evidence, but they willfully ignore it or
think there should be more.
You cant PROVE a theory true. However, you can disprove a

University Senate is looking into
the possibility of a tuition assis-
tance program for faculty and staff.
The program could provide free
or reduced tuition for dependents,
spouses and domestic partners of
faculty and staff members, and/or
faculty and staff members them-
selves.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little said the concept is mentioned
frequently at universities and the
benefit is often offered by private
universities.
She said she didnt know anyone
who objects to
the idea.
It would be
a wonderful
benefit to have
for the faculty
and staff, Gray-
Little said. The
question is who
pays for it.
Gr ay- Li t t l e
said funding
would like-
ly have to come from the state,
tuition paid for by other students
or through private donations. All
three areas are of current concern
as state funding is down, tuition
continues to rise in reaction to
the dips in state funding and the
University is constantly seeking to
increase donations.
Another area the task force needs
to explore, Gray-Little said, is the
event of being unable to offer the
benefit to all of these students.
Is it for students who are higher
achieving or for students that need
financial aid? Gray-Little asked.
The University Senate Executive
Committee, or SenEx, approved
a task force on the matter in
September and University Senate
approved a list of proposed charges
for the task force to look at its Oct.
7 meeting.
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of
educational leadership and policy
studies, leads the task force and
first brought up the idea when
she was faculty senate president
last year. She said the idea for the
benefit comes after two years of
no pay raises for staff and fac-
ulty members. In addition, Wolf-
Wendel said, insurance premiums
have risen, meaning faculty and
staff are essentially paid less than
they were two years ago.
We should
have our ben-
efits and salary
package match
those places
to whom we
aspire to be
like if possible
so that we can
either keep or
get people we
wouldnt oth-
erwise get, she
said.
Wolf-Wendel also said the pro-
gram could have spillover benefits
in that it retains and recruits fac-
ulty while possibly adding students
who might have gone elsewhere.
If they net new students out of
this the cost might not be too pro-
hibitive, Wolf-Wendel said.
This years faculty senate pres-
ident Ben Eggleston said if the
task force recommended the ben-
efit and that recommendation were
endorsed by University Senate, the
approval of the Universitys admin-
istration would still be needed.
Beyond that, the Board of Regents
would need to hear the
proposal.
I think that it needs
a lot of careful study,
Eggleston said. He said the
task forces establishment
was just the beginning of
a long fact-finding process
and nothing should be taken as a
settled proposal just yet.
Wolf-Wendel said she hopes to
have a proposal for the Chancellor
and Provost by the spring and to
be able to present it to the Board of
Regents next fall.
She said Pittsburg State
University and Fort Hays State
University already offer similar
programs. Private universities such
as Vanderbilt pay tuition for depen-
dents of faculty and staff even if
they go to another university.
The University offers a tuition
assistance program for staff mem-
bers and Coca-Cola scholarships
for dependents of staff members
who are freshmen.
Wolf-Wendel said a tuition assis-
tance program could mean that
the scholarship money provided by
Coca-Cola could be freed up for
students who arent dependents of
faculty and staff members. Another
possible scenario, she said, would
be to pair the scholarships with
tuition reductions, effectively mak-
ing tuition free through a combina-
tion of factors.
Wolf-Wendel said students not
eligible for the tuition assistance
would not have to foot the bill for
those who are.
The benefit to students who
arent dependents is you increase
your odds of recruiting and retain-
ing better employees and faculty,
she said. So thats the benefit to
you.
Wolf-Wendel said faculty and
staff receive basic health care and
retirement benefits but compared
to most institutions those benefits
are minimal.
Gray-Little said she agreed that
the proposal was a natural response
from faculty and staff.
I think its not an issue that will
be settled on the basis of whether
its a good idea or if people are in
favor of it, Gray-Little said. but,
really, how can you do it and be
fair to the others who would be
involved.

Jayhawk ofense lacking in
game against the Wildcats

After the Kansas defense
forced a three-and-out on Kansas
States first drive of the night, the
Wildcats caught fire on their way
to six straight scoring drives, five of
which ended in touchdowns.
Quarterback Carson Coffman
completed all but one of his 16
passes while rushing for a stag-
gering three touchdowns. Highly-
touted running back Daniel
Thomas contributed 91 yards to
K-States 276 total yardage on the
ground while adding a touchdown.
Backup running back William
Powell highlighted his night with a
56-yard third quarter run, followed
by a Carson Coffman two-yard
touchdown run.
Kansas was dominated in all fac-
ets of the game, and coach Turner
Gill said his team has to return to
the basics before getting better.
Weve got to look at some things
on the basics of football, such as
being able to execute plays, Gill
said. Offensively in particular.
The Jayhawk offense held the ball
longer than K-State and matched
their 20 first downs, yet was still
unable to get anything going on
offense. Freshman quarterback
Jordan Webb failed to connect for a
touchdown pass while going com-
pleting 26 of 46
passes. Midway
through the
third quarter,
the Kansas
offense had a
rare opportu-
nity deep in
Wildcat ter-
ritory. Webb
dropped back
from the
10-yard line but his fade route
was intercepted by defensive back
Stephen Harrison. Many of Kansas
228 passing yards came after the
game was well out of hand and
Wildcat defenders were giving up
short yardage plays while protect-
ing against the deep ball.
When asked about backup
sophomore quarterback Kale Picks
availability late in the game, Gill
said he discussed it with his coach-
es, but ultimately wasnt comfort-
able with Picks lack of practice
leading up to Thursday night. Pick
suffered a leg injury while relieving
Webb against New Mexico State.
He really
had only two
days of prac-
tice, said Gill.
We just didnt
feel like it was
advant ageous
to put him in
at that time. We
want to make
sure he has
another week to
make sure hes healed up pretty
well.
The Jayhawks return to
Memorial Stadium this week to
face Texas A&M.

Jayhawks lose in double overtime
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Less than an hour after Marcus
Morris donned a sweater vest, bow-
tie and backwards hat as he danced
to Boyz II Men, he showed off a
different type of footwork as he led
the Late Night scrimmage with 14
points and eight rebounds.
Morris Crimson squad lost
40-39 when his full-court shot
dropped just shy of the rim, but he
was the unquestioned star of the
night. Considering the role hell
be expected to play this season, it
should have come as no surprise.
Morris, though, was still finding
flaws in his game.
I thought it was close, Morris
said about his desperation heave.
Unlike my layups. Im still miss-
ing layups. I gotta get better, but I
padded my stats a little bit again.
No other Jayhawks finished
in double figures scoring, but
Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas
Robinson both had nine. Markieff
Morris had an efficient eight points
on 4-of-5 shooting to go along
with four boards.
We had some individuals play
pretty good, coach Bill Self said. I
thought Tyshawn was terrific.
The scrimmage gave fans their
first look at superfrosh Josh Selby,
who finished with six points, an
assist and a rebound in a perfor-
mance that didnt leave any jaws
on the floor.
Josh was so nervous, Self said
after the scrimmage. Youve got
all this hype on a kid, and youve
got so much uncertainty with him
with everything thats going on
and everything. He told me before-
hand, he said, I cant eat, I cant do
anything.
If fans will take any negative
away from the game, it would be
the lack of defense, as the teams hit
a combined 52.3 percent of their
shots. Self cautioned against read-
ing into it, though.
We havent even talked about
defense yet, Self said, so it doesnt
bother me at all that we didnt guard.
Or didnt know how to guard.
The start of practice is only
part of the Late Night festivities,
though. The skits, the videos, the
speeches they all serve one pur-
pose above the others: to recruit.
The Jayhawks, who got their
first commitment from No. 91
overall Naadir Tharpe Thursday,
had a full house Friday night for
that purpose with five five-star
recruits and six four-star recruits,
according to JayhawkSlant.coms
ratings, sitting front row.
Only three players Ben
McLemore, LeBryan Nash and
Angelo Chol came from the
class of 2011. Kansas is considered
legitimately in the running for all
three players.
Other notable recruits include
three of the top ten players in the
class of 2013. Julius Randle, No.
3 overall, was wearing a Kansas
hoodie next to Zach Peters, a 2012
Kansas commit. Twin brothers
Andrew and Aaron Harrison, No.
1 and No. 10 overall, respectively,
were also on hand.
Our staff s done a good job of
getting recruits in here and having
it be organized to the point where
they can all enjoy it, Self said.
They especially enjoyed Bill
Self s classic appearance as Vanilla
Ice, shimmering gold MC Hammer
jumpsuit included.
Yesterday they asked me if I
would do it, and I said, How dumb
will I look? Self said. They said,
Probably ... Itll be a good laugh.

Kansas
can learn
from Bill
Snyder
Y
ou cant sugarcoat
games like this.
The Kansas football
team had two weeks after a
55-7 loss to Baylor to regroup,
study Kansas State and make
Thursday nights home game a
competitive matchup.
As we all know by now,
it was one of the most lop-
sided Sunflower Showdowns in
recent memory, a 59-7 Wildcat
romping. Not since a 64-0 vic-
tory in 2002 have the Wildcats
won in Lawrence.
K-State was beaten down
48-13 against Nebraska only a
week before. Yet running back
Daniel Thomas said his team
was ready for Kansas almost
immediately.
It was behind us as soon
as we walked off the field, he
said. We wanted to get back
on the field as soon as possible
to show everybody we were
ready to play again.
Now the Wildcats are one
win away from being bowl eli-
gible and Kansas is questioning
almost every aspect of its team.
The Jayhawks are regressing.
What did they do after their
bye-week? Lose by four more
points than they did against
Baylor and still manage to
score only seven points. And
those were in garbage time.
Kansas is dead last in the
Big 12 with an 0-2 conference
record, 2-4 overall.
It would not be surprising to
see the Jayhawks go winless the
rest of the year, which would
not bode well for anybody in
the Kansas organization.
After Thursdays game, no
one from the Jayhawks had
answers, so I instead went to
the man who has been in this
position before.
K-State coach Bill Snyder
has spent two decades turn-
ing a program around. He was
1-10 in his first season as head
coach in 1989, so he somewhat
knows what coach Turner Gill
is going through.
Snyder made more sense
than anybody after the game
discussing how his team could
win so big after a bad loss.
I cant explain the turn-
around, he said. Its just a
matter of if you prepare well,
you play well.
If we apply Snyders advice
to the Jayhawks, we can see
that they didnt prepare well
and thats why they lost. Two
weeks to prepare for this game.
Against the in-state rivals. At
home. And after a first quarter
that yielded three points to
K-State, the game was over at
halftime.
K-States Thomas wasnt
gloating after the game and
he wasnt intentionally bash-
ing Kansas. But something he
said has to make Jayhawk fans
worried.
Early in the first quarter, we
saw they were out of it a little
bit and the fans got out of it,
he said. We came back at half-
time and felt like it was pretty
much over.

ts green and yellow and scoring nearly

you still probably wont catch it.
Chip Kellys Oregon Ducks are reinvent-
ing offense and, indirectly, the culture of
football. Shorter practices. Smaller play-
books. Faster gameplay.
According to Gregg Easterbrook of
ESPN.com, Kellys offense combines four
storied formations.
-The Pistol: Aptly named as a smaller
form of the shotgun, this formation sets the
quarterback just four yards (unlike shot-
guns seven yards) behind the center, with
the running back behind the quarterback.
On running plays, the tailback has momen-
tum going forward, rather than standing
still on shotgun draw plays. Almost all
passing plays are hitches, and the quarter-
backs closer positioning saves time (less
distance to throw) and gives the receiver
more space in the open field.
-The Single Wing: This one is old school,
and still commonly used in high school
football. It involves three players in the
backfield (usually one player behind a tight
end on the side) and a double tight end
front. The single wing relies heavily on
fakes and options.
-The Triple Option: Similar to the single
wing, this formation uses fakes and options,
but looks much more traditional before the
snap (either in a Wishbone or I-form set).
-The Spread: This was the primary for-
mation of the Mangino era, where four
wide receivers spread the field and the
quarterback sits in the shotgun.
Kelly blends these four ideas into one
(approximately) 20-part playbook. Then his
team receives hand signals from the side-
line and runs the plays fast. Really, really
fast.
A recent New York Times article by Pete
Thamel states that the Ducks commonly
run 30 plays in 10 minutes of practice.
I was dizzy walking off the field, John
Gruden, former NFL coach, told Thamel.
Its a philosophy that is the damnedest
thing Ive ever seen. I love it and cant get
enough of it.
Kellys practices only last two hours
(opposed to the traditional three hours)
because the Ducks are always running.
They cut out wind sprints, because the
whole practice is a wind sprint. Many have
dubbed this creation the blur offense
because of its unparalleled speed.
Some of the results are obvious. The
Ducks are 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the
country. Undoubtedly the best stat: they are
outscoring opponents 86-7 in the 2nd half
this season.
Truth is, every offense eventually stag-
nates from a new defensive discovery. But
no team seems to have found a way to stop
the blur offense just yet. So enjoy watching
the unstoppable while you still can.
MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS
Legendary Atlantic Records producer
Jerry Wexler once called him the best soul
singer of all time. His angelic voice could
drop a listener to his or her knees. Yet most
media outlets ignored his recent death in
an airport. Solomon Burke, the Vaults are
here for you!
1964s Rock N Soul, is one of the fin-
est exhibitions of gospel, blues and soul.
Burkes voice is the true centerpiece here,
but the choir of female backing voices also
serve as a strong complement.
In Cry to Me, Burke laments loneliness
and loss with howls straight from the heart.
Wont You Give Him (One More Chance)
features an upbeat tempo and a stunning
exchange between Burke and the female
backing singers. In Cant Nobody Love
You, Burke seemingly submerges the lis-
tener into pain before the track even starts.
Burke, 70, died Monday. So too did a
chunk of soul history.

Game Balls
3. Ofensive line: yes, Jordan Webb was sacked three times. regardless,
the ofensive line gave their quarterback plenty of time to make plays all
game. the K-State sacks were more credited to the Wildcat secondary who
covered the KU receivers like a blanket all night. the already thin unit will
need the veteran Capra to return soon to sustain any kind of success mov-
ing forward.
2. Running backs: Senior running back Angus Quigley returned to the
Kansas backfeld to rack up 70 yards on the ground. He also added the teams
lone touchdown of the evening. Fellowbacks James Sims and deshaun
Sands also got touches, but only combined for 35 yards on 12 carries.
1. Kansas kickofcoverage squad: the special teams group looked lost
once again, allowing four kickofreturns of 40 yards or more. NewMexico State
kick returner tanner rust set a school record with 250 total return yards. the
Jayhawks defense looked impressive but surrendered 16 points because of the
short felds the Aggies had to work with.
Delays of Game
5. Kale Pick: Injured against New Mexico St. in Week 4, the backup quar-
terback only practiced twice leading up to the K-State matchup. Gill stated
it wasnt enough preparation to see the feld thursday night. Gill said he
wouldnt replace Webb with Pick as the starter, but didnt rule out the idea
of fnding minutes for the sophomore quarterback as the season continues.
4. Sal Capra: the senior ofensive lineman sufered a leg injury early in the
second half. He was carted ofthe feld before returning to watch the rest of
the game fromthe sideline. Gill said it appeared to be an ankle injury and it
will be evaluated this week.
3. Turnovers: the teamthat makes the fewest mistakes normally wins
the game. When playing with a talent disadvantage, mistakes are magni-
fed even more. two lost fumbles and a redzone interception killed any
ofensive momentumthroughout the game. James Sims fumble in the
3rd quarter fromthe KSU 15 yard line was returned 85 yards for a Stephen
Harrison touchdown, pushing the KU defcit to 5-0.
2. JordanWebb: Webb started his year with fve touchdown passes and
only 1 interception through his frst three games, during which the team
posted a 2-1 record. the last two weeks Webb has thrown three picks while
only fnding the endzone once. Not wanting a quarterback controversy, head
coachturner Gill assured fans thursday night that Webb will remain his start-
ing quarterback.
1. Red-zone defense: theWildcats made their way into the red zone fve
times onthursday night, and 5 times they scored, including three rushing
touchdowns by quarterback Carson Cofman. running back daniel thomas
also added a 9-yardtouchdown run in the 2nd quarter.
Play of the Game
the Aggies hadtheir way withthe Kansas defense ontheir secondposses-
sionearly inthe secondquarter, tyingthe game 7-7. It seemedlike the game
was headedfor a shootout before beshears got the ball inhis hands. but the
former defensive backupmade magic happen, scoringona 96-yardkickof
returnandputtingthe Jayhawks back upseven. It was excellent blockingand
great visionina rare fashof brilliance fromthe Jayhawks' special teams unit.
Game Notes
THE GLASS IS HALf fULL
As he mentionedinhis openingpress conference, Gill is a non-stoprecruiter.
Losingby 52toyour in-state rival couldpotentially hurt the stafs recruiting
ability, but he sees it a diferent way. they cancome inhere froma recruiting
standpoint andbe able tohelpour football team. theres a goodopportunity for
themtocome inhere andget some things done.
THE GLASS IS HALf EMPTY
the defense has givenup114point points inits frst 2conference games
against baylor andKansas State. Withrankedopponents Oklahoma State, Ne-
braska andMissouri still onthe slate, the defense will be facinghigher-octane
ofenses as the conference schedule rolls on.
BIGGEST ANSWER
Sophomore d.J. beshears hadanother great game returningkicks. He ledthe
teamwith110all-purpose yards on5returns includinga 33-yardkickofreturn.
STILL QUESTIONING
Will KUwinanother game this season?Withthree rankedteams left onthe
schedule anda roadtriptoAmes, Iowa, the home game against Colorado
seems like their best chance for a win.

KANSAS FOOTBALL REWIND
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
Olaitan Oguntodu seemed to be holding
back tears of frustration after Thursdays loss
to Kansas State University. The 59-7 slaughter
by the arch-rival Wildcats left Oguntodus voice
shaking as he reflected on what might have gone
so wrong.
We can play the proper alignment, the
proper assignment and play hard, senior safety
Oguntodu said. I know we can do that, I believe
we can do that and thats whats so disappointing.
Having that anticipation that were going to get
it together this game and not doing that, thats
disappointing.
Oguntodu had only six tackles in a game where
the defense allowed the Kansas State offense to
gain 460 yards, 276 of which were rushing. After
forcing a three-and-out on the Wildcats first
drive of the night, the defense suffered an uphill
battle for the remaining three quarters.
The Wildcats controlled the game with a
well-balanced offensive combination of passing
and running. For a majority of the game, the
defensive lined up out of position, leading to
missed key tackles. The team looked sluggish
and stunned by the energy the Wildcats took
the field with, despite having 12 days to rest and
prepare.
Everything we practiced they did, but they
just executed and we didnt, junior linebacker
Steven Johnson said. I felt fine going into this
game, I felt re-energized. Now we just got to
maintain staying positive. Im trying my best to
stay positive right now, but it hurts.
Coach Turner Gill seemed to agree that the
coaching staff had used the extra five days effi-
ciently, giving the team the knowledge it needed
to at least present a challenge to the Wildcat
offense. No matter how many hours of tape the
Jayhawks watched or how hard they practiced,
the fact remains that Wildcat senior quarterback
Carson Coffman completed 15 of his attempted
16 passes, gaining 184 yards and completing two
touchdowns not to mention the 43 yards he
gained rushing that led to three touchdowns.
It was so huge on defense to make sure we
tackled well and created turnovers, and we did
neither, Gill said.
Regardless of which side of the line is at fault,
the Jayhawks have been outscored 114 to 14 in
the past two games. The teamworries that might
have something to do with its inability to take
what it learns in practice and transfer that to the
field come game time.
Our coaches make sure we know what to
expect, its up to us to take on the challenge and
play, Oguntodu said. I have to look into myself
and play between the lines and when I do that
and my teammates do that well all play together.
When players play together, this program is in
good hands.
Disconnect between practices
and games led to major defeat

Kansas State quarterback Carson Cofman rushes past the Kansas defense in-route to scoring the frst touchdown of the day. The Wildcats dominated the game, winning 59-7. Kansas gave up 50-plus points in back to back games for the frst
time since 2001, and fell to 2-4 on the season and 0-2 in Big 12 Conference play.

Kansas Big 12 soccer woes
continued this weekend as they
lost at the hands of Texas Tech
(10-5-1, 3-3-1 Big 12) 2-0 on
Friday in Lubbock, Texas and
returned home Sunday to fall to
Baylor (10-5-2, 3-4-0 Big 12) in
double overtime 1-0.
On Friday, goalkeeper Kat
Liebetrau added nine saves to her
conference-leading save total,
which was at 39 after Fridays
contest. However, that wasnt
enough, as Texas Tech was able
to get two goals from headers in
the first half.
Kansas came out the second
half and, in attempting to make
up its two-goal deficit, outshot
Texas Tech nine to six. However,
the Red Raiders outshot the
Jayhawks 19-10 overall, and had
11 shots on goal compared to
Kansas four.
Kansas faced a Baylor team
Sunday that was also desperate
to get an all-important win in
conference play.
I think we knew that today
was a big deal, sophomore for-
ward Whitney Berry said. Our
season is kind of on the line with
this game. Everyone knew what
we had to do.
Berry led the Jayhawks with
seven shots.
It was a physical match with
a total of 22 fouls. Four yellow
cards were issued, one of which
led to a converted penalty kick
that secured Baylors 1-0 victory.
They are very physical, so
when you come out against these
guys you have to really battle and
play for 90 minutes, coach Mark
Francis said. You cant come out
with anything less than that and I
thought the guys did a good job
today.
The two teams matched up
well and it was an evenly played
game. At the end of 90 minutes
both sides were knotted up at
0-0.
Toward the end of the sec-
ond period, the physical play was
evident by sophomore defender
Shelby Williamsons bloody face.
She left the game after a collision
while attempting to clear a ball
crossing into the Kansas penalty
box. Williamson returned for the
start of overtime wearing No. 28
because her regular No. 16 jersey
had blood on it.
Each team recorded two shots
in overtime, but after 10 minutes,
neither team could come through
with a goal. The game headed
into a second overtime.
In the second overtime,
Williamson was battling a Baylor
forward for the ball when she was
whistled and tagged with a yel-
low card. The call, which Francis
clearly disagreed with, occurred
in Kansas penalty area, so Hanna
Gilmore of Baylor was awarded a
penalty kick in the 103rd minute.
Gilmore converted the kick and
gave Baylor the 1-0 win.
I feel really bad for our kids,
Francis said. I thought we
deserved to win the game, You
get a decision against you that
late in the game and there is not
much you can do about it.
Kansas is now a dismal 1-7 in
conference play, having lost six of
those games by two goals or less.
Francis said games like this add
to the frustration.
Weve played some games
and played very, very well and
lost 1-0, he said. Today was
an example of that. I think we
deserved a lot more out of it than
we got
Berry said that the Baylor
game was symbolic of how the
Jayhawks season has gone.
I feel like that is a repeated
thing for us this year, she said.
Weve worked our butts off every
single game and we just cant get
the results.
Kansas has now lost four games
in a row.
I guess when it rains, it pours,
Francis said.
The Jayhawks will travel to
Nebraska and Colorado next
weekend as they finish up their
Big 12 schedule.

BY LAUREN NEWMAN
lnewman@kansan.com
The Jayhawk cross country team
traveled to Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday
to compete in the Pre-Nationals
Invitational, its most difficult and
competitive meet of the season. The
women finished 18th out of 40 teams
and the men placed 24th out of 36
teams. The mens team competed
against 241 runners while the women
raced against 274.
For the fourth consecutive meet,
junior Donny Wasinger set the pace
for the mens team, finishing 47th
overall on the 8K course, with a
career-best time of 24:33.7. Senior
Nick Caprario, the No. 2 runner, also
had a career-best time of 25:18.3 and
took 116th place. Rounding out the
top three runners for the Jayhawk
team was junior Austin Bussing, who
crossed the finish line in 25:21, which
was also a career-best.
Head coach Stanley Redwine said
in a press release that he felt that the
team still had work to do in prac-
tices in order to be more prepared
for upcoming meet at the Big 12
Championship.
The men competed hard, but we
need to close the gaps and learn how
to focus more in big races, Redwine
said. Twenty-fourth place wasnt the
goal coming in, but that is where we
ended up. We have to get better and
correct our mistakes before the Big
12 meet.
As for the womens team, junior
Rebeka Stowe proved to be the top
runner for the Jayhawks for the sec-
ond straight meet. Stowe finished the
6K race with a career-best time of
20:43.9, placing 16th overall. Behind
her was sophomore Natalie Becker,
who clocked in at 21:25. Sophomore
Tessa Turcotte sealed the No. 3 spot
for the team with a time of 22.08.4,
and the No. 4 spot was junior Kara
Windisch.
Assistant coach Michael Whittlesey
had the same opinion when it comes
to performing stronger during the
race.
I didnt think we performed as
well as we know we are capable of
performing, Whittlesey said in the
release. We need to be mentally
tougher in the middle of the race.
Stowe felt that her performance
was a step in the right direction but
hopes the team will run as a pack
more. She knows the ability of the
team is there to compete, but it hasnt
come full circle. As for their upcom-
ing meet in the Big 12 Championship,
she said she feels excited.
The Big 12 meet is very excit-
ing for us because there are a lot
of good teams in our conference. I
think we need to run in a pack, it is
so much easier to run a race like that
when you have someone next to you
encouraging you. Stowe said in the
release. We need to come out as a
group and stay together to support
each other.

Senior defensive specialist and
recent Big 12 Defensive Player of
the Week Melissa Manda became
Kansas volleyballs all-time digs
leader in Wednesday nights 3-1
win against the Baylor Bears in
Waco, Texas. The Jayhawks
returned to Lawrence on Saturday
to see a four-match home winning
streak snapped in three sets by the
Oklahoma Sooners.
Baylor
In a match that featured a broken
record for Kansas, a four-way tie
for fifth place in the Big 12 and four
sets decided by three points or less,
the chirping of crickets was not
proverbial it was real. The insects
occasionally visit the Ferrell Center
at this time of year, as they did
Wednesday night.
Junior outside hitter Allison
Mayfield said the crickets dove
down from the ceiling and into the
game, creating a minor distraction
for which Baylor Athletics had a
neat solution.
They had a cricket boy, Mayfield
said. If there was a cricket on the
court, he would just run out and
grab it. And then I dont know
where he would put them. He was
putting them in the trash can, I
guess.
Mayfield led the Jayhawks with
19 kills, combined with 19 digs for
her third double-double of the sea-
son. Senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington and freshman middle
blocker Caroline Jarmoc each
contributed 12 kills to the effort.
Jarmoc matched a career high with
her kills, which she scored with an
efficiency of .500, also racking up
eight blocks.
Manda recorded 28 digs against
the Bears, bringing her career total
to 1,362. The previous record hold-
er was Jill Hall, who played with
Kansas from 2001 to 2004. Manda
said great coaching and great team-
mates contributed to her success.
Our blocking has been really
good this season, she said. And it
helps so much in the back row to
have good blockers in front of us.
Kansas and Baylor played a close
first set, remaining within two
points of one another until nearly
the end. At 19-19, Kansas pulled
away with three blocks by Jarmoc,
Mayfield and senior outside hitter
Jenna Kaiser, followed by two kills
by Mayfield. Jarmoc closed the set
with a final kill, giving Kansas the
set 25-22.
The second set was even closer.
The difference was no more than a
point for most of the game. In the
end, the Bears took the set with kills
by senior middle blocker Elizabeth
Graham and junior outside hitter
Allison King. Senior outside hitter
Ashlie Christenson scored a ser-
vice ace to finish the set 25-27.
Baylors efforts were plagued with
nine errors in each of the first two
sets; all nine in the second were
unforced. Kansas had six errors in
the two games, hitting for a lower-
than-average efficiency of .133.
Kansas took a 21-13 lead in the
third game only to see Baylor answer
back with kills by Graham and
Christenson. Graham and junior
middle blocker Briana Tolbert
then blocked Kansas Garlington
three times in a row. Garlington
came back with two kills, but the
Bears had closed the gap to 24-23.
Mayfield scored back-to-back kills
to win the set for Kansas 26-24. The
Jayhawks also took the fourth and
final set 26-24.
Coach Ray Bechard said the vic-
tory was crucial for the team, which,
together with Texas A&M, Missouri
and Baylor, was in a four-way tie for
fifth place in the Big 12.
Obviously, if you want to stay in
the top half of the conference, wins
like these are pretty crucial, he said.
It really came at a good time.
oklahoma
On Saturday, Oklahoma swept
Kansas with scores of 25-22, 25-12
and 25-20. The loss drops Kansas to
13-7 overall and 5-4 in conference
play. Oklahoma performed well
offensively throughout the match,
averaging a hitting efficiency of
.390. Kansas has held its previous
opponents to an average of .164.
Meanwhile, Kansas hit a .130 aver-
age, partly because errors in the
second set produced a negative hit-
ting efficiency of -.032.
Bechard said the team struggled
with first contact and passing and
that the Jayhawks had difficulty
adjusting to the Sooners serve.
The first thing we need to do
is really commend Oklahoma,
Bechard said. For playing a near-
ly flawless match. They had two
unforced hitting errors in three
games, which is unheard of.
Sooner freshman middle blocker
and recent Big 12 Rookie of the
Week Sallie McLaurin was a sig-
nificant part of Oklahomas offense.
McLaurin scored 10 kills for the
Sooners with an efficiency of .714
and made no errors. Junior right
side hitter Suzy Boulavsky led the
Sooners with 11 kills, and several
players combined to give their team
43 digs.
Garlington and Mayfield each
contributed 10 kills to the Kansas
effort but a team total of 21 attack
errors detracted from the offensive
effort.
Kansas plays at home again
on Wednesday against nationally
ranked Texas.
