    While it may not be the

    Christmas season just yet, Jayhawkcolors can be seen adorning theoutside o residences both on

    and o campus. Glow KU isone o the many Homecoming

    Week traditions celebrated by theUniversity.

    Sororities and raternities teamup to show their school spirit andcelebrate homecoming, trying to

    successully decorate their housesor Glow KU.

    First and oremost it takes a loto work, and denitely involvescohesion between the groups along

    with getting things done togetherefciently, said Hal McCoy, a

    homecoming chairmen romWichita.

    However, it is not only the Greekcommunity who participates. Lastyear Scholarship Halls, the Dole

    Institute o Politics, the BlackStudent Union, the University

    Daily Kansan, and the School oEngineering all participated. Tisevent is open to all homeowners

    and businesses within theLawrence community.

    Each team competes to havethe best house - one that screams

    Rock Chalk and conveys astrong sense o school spirit. Tegoal is to bring as much hype

    to the Lawrence community in

    celebration o homecoming.Te lights can be holiday lights,

    blue or red light bulbs, spotlightsor any orm o light that emits

    red and/or blue, reads the KUAlumni page. Tis event will take

    place during Homecoming Week,starting Sunday, Sept. 29 through

    Saturday, Oct. 5, to show ourJayhawk spirit.

    While Glow KU is just one aspect

    o Homecoming Week, it hasquickly become one o the most

    popular and highly talked aboutevents.

    Imagining campus completely

    illuminated, I can see Glow KUreally becoming a great addition

    to a special week, said BryneGonzales, Vice President o Alpha

    au Omega Fraternity romAmarillo, exas.

    However, these seven days

    are truly about celebrating ourJayhawk pride, and passion or our

    community. Whether it is throughdecorating or simply exchanging

    a Rock Chalk, with a ellowstudent, there really is no betterplace to be than t he University

    o Kansas during HomecomingWeek.

    Tat time o year is upon us again

    singing, dancing and celebratingthe joy o being a Jayhawk. Each

    year during the week o homecom-ing, student groups participate inJayhawk Jingles. A seven minute

    song and dance is perormed byeach group o eight to 20 students

    outside the Adams Alumni Centeron Jayhawk Boulevard. Tis year

    revolves around the 2013 Home-coming theme, Jayhawks Around

    the World.Working in conjunction with

    Food Fest, participants as well

    as attendees are provided withcomplimentary drinks and dessert

    during show time. Each attendeeis oered three ood tickets i they

    wish to eat rom one o t he ven-

    dors while watching entertainingperormances.

    Student groups will be judged on

    overall eect and audience appeal,group coordination and participa-

    tion, clearness, volume, costumesand cooperation.

    Jayhawk Jingles is open to all stu-dent groups participating in home-coming. Te riendly and creative

    competition allows students to winpoints toward homecoming while

    providing entertainment or all othose attending Food Fest.

    Jingles is a great event that trulygathers the KU community as awhole, said Abbey Buchanan,

    junior rom Chaska, Minn., andCampus Outreach C o-Chair.

    Food Fest and Jayhawk Jinglesbrings everyone together or some

    great ood and entertainment,

    while demonstrating pride in ourschool.

    Events and estivities like

    Jayhawk Jingles remain a part othe homecoming tradition each

    year, but have evolved immenselythroughout the years. Originally

    called Jayhawk Follies, it was atalent show put on by individualsas well as groups o students. Tis

    year the Homecoming SteeringCommittee is working to promote

    creativity and enhance the enter-tainment actor.

    In years past, each team wouldseparately perorm the Alma Ma-ter, which to me elt too repetitive,

    Buchanan said. So this year we arehaving all the participants perorm

    it together at the end. Not only willthis improve the entertainment

    Past and present Jayhawk

    twirlers Beverly Bernardi Post

    and Shannon Livengood both

    have a passion or baton twirling

    and share the experience o

    holding the national champion

    title during their collegiate years.

    Baton twirling has changed

    immensely since Post held the

    position or the University

    rom 1974-1978. Livengood, a

    junior rom Clay Center, enjoys

    listening to old stories rom

    previous twirlers and comparing

    how the position she currently

    holds has changed throughout

    the years.

    Post attended opeka High

    School, where she held the

    position as eature twirler

    and perormed at high school

    ootball games.

    When I got ready to go to

    college, I didnt know where to

    go but I wanted to stay close

    to home so I could continue

    teaching dance and baton three

    or our days a week in opeka,

    Post said.

    Post distinctly remembers

    perorming during halime at a

    memorable Notre Dame versus

    Kansas basketball game.

    Tis guy came over to me

    and said, When we go to

    commercial break, I am putting

    you on national television, Post

    said. Post said the experience

    was one o the thrills o [her]

    lietime.

    Livengood is currently

    under direction o the band

    department and, rather than

    perorming at basketball games,

    twirls at ootball games and at

    the pregame with the Marching

    Jayhawks.

    My entire reshman year,

    I didnt get to perorm at any

    basketball games and my

    sophomore year, I needed a

    separate try out, Livengood

    said. Livengood will perorm

    at halime during one womens

    and one mens basketball game

    this season.

    Livengood can be seen leading

    the Marching Jayhawks down

    the hill during the homecoming

    parade. Post was not considered

    part o the band and did not

    lead the Marching Jayhawks to

    Memorial Stadium beore each

    game.

    Neither twirler was given

    a coach, choreographer or

    sponsored by the University.

    I spend most o my time

    practicing alone, making up my

    own routines with a song chosen

    by the band director, Livengood

    said. Unless I am able to reserve

    Robinson Auditorium or nd a

    spot at the [recreation center], I

    practice outdoors.

    Trough shared memories and

    comparative experiences, both

    Post and Livengood agree that

    twirling or the University has

    been an honor. Livengood hopes

    to continue twirling or the

    University until she graduates

    and, eventually, nd a uture

    twirler with enough experience

    to ollow in her and Posts

    ootsteps.

    In a retirement community inLenexa lives an old woman with

    a piano. Photos o ormer music

    students and amily sit on the

    shelves, and old newspapers andsheet music are propped against

    the wall. For many o the students

    in the photos, this piano gave start

    to their music lessons in theiryouth. As the young students

    plucked their rst notes, the sounds

    would join together and create the

    amiliar tune o the University ghtsong. Tough the children didnt

    realize it, this song wasnt only thebeginning o their music careers,

    but their teachers as well. As theirteacher taught them the notes,

    she remembers, playing the same

    notes with the Marching Jayhawks

    during homecoming.In September 1943, Jayhawk

    ootball spectators were shocked

    at the site o women marching

    into Memorial Stadium, wearingnot dresses, but the same crimson

    and blue marching band uniorms

    as their male peers. Among these

    women marched Marjorie LeeMarlee Skeen-Parmiter, one

    o the rst emales to join the

    Marching Jayhawks.

    With World War II calling the

    men to service, the marchingband needed to add women to its

    ensemble to compensate or theloss o men. At the time, this radical

    idea was necessary to maintain theband or ootball and basketball

    games.

    Meanwhile, Skeen-Parmiter had

    received a music scholarship rom

    the University aer receiving a

    highly superior score on her piano

    solo at state competition. When shearrived at the University, there was

    a need or women in the marching

    band, so Parmiter joined and

    marched with her Baritone on theront rank, the tallest o all the girls.

    Parmiter said that it wasnt easy

    being a girl in the marching band.

    She said that the critics were readyto pounce on the girls i they

    didnt play correctly. Despite this,

    Parmiter and the other women

    remained in the band.Tere used to be a time when

    they hated it so much, to have girlsin the marching band, Parmiter

    said, but the war was on, and ithey didnt have you, they wouldnt

    have a band.

    Women were banned rom

    the Marching Jayhawks in 1948,

    ollowing the end o World WarII. Tough their participation was

    brie, women were an importantpart o the band during the war

    the band likely wouldnt haveexisted without emale additions.

    Parmiter recalls a memory o

    Dr. Gastin, head o the music

    department at the time, calling

    on her one evening to pick up

    an instrument and play in the

    orchestra.When they needed a trombone

    player in the orchestra, I had

    happened to come by the ofce

    and Dr. Gastin said Here, take thishorn and get over to Hoch. Tey

    need a trombone. And I said Well

    I dont play trombone and he said

    Well, youll give it a try.Parmiter said she recalls Dr.

    Gastin noticed things that other

    teachers did not.

    Dr. Gastin was something else,Parmiter said. He was meaner

    than a junkyard dog. He called mein one time to thank me or being

    so nice to these two young men mysenior year. And I said Well Dr.

    Gastin, why wouldnt I be? Tey

    were two gay students. He was

    thanking me or being nice to themand they were as nice as they could

    be. It wouldnt have occurred to

    me to be any other way. Dr. Gastin

    really did notice a lot o thingsabout you.

    Mentors like Dr. Gastin inspired

    Parmiter become a music teacher

    hersel.I just think KU has the best

    music [education] department

    in the country, Parmiter said. I

    know that is prejudiced, but they

    had the most practical approach toteaching, I thought.

    Beore her music-teachingcareer began, Parmiter had the

    opportunity to work or Phog Allenas a secretary. As she sat in her

    piano room, she recalled with both

    embarrassment and admiration

    a memory o Phog asking her toblush or a amous photographer

    and later apologizing to her.

    Te head photographer or Lie

    Magazine came in during the war,

    Parmiter said. Phog asked me tocome in there and introduce me to

    him, and I wasnt used to meeting

    amous people and this was aamous person. He [Phog] said,

    Ive got one o the ew emales on

    the hill that still blush. Blush or

    him Marlee! I just got as red asall. Te next day, I ound a box o

    chocolates and a letter o apology

    on my typewriter.

    Aer graduating rom the

    University, Parmiter taught inmany cities across the state, rom

    opeka to Bonner Springs and as ar

    as Central Kansas. Since marchingin the band, Parmiters lie has

    changed considerably, but the

    University has remained a constant

    reminder o her beginning.I loved Lawrence, Parmiter said.

    I just really did because so many

    people loved music and wanted the

    very best. I just loved KU. I really

    did. Edited by Chas Strobel

    Frank Seurer was thequarterback at Kansas rom

    1980-1983. Aer his time at the

    university, Seurer went on to play

    or the Kansas City Chies. In1983, Seurer gained 2,660 yards o

    total oense, resulting in a second

    place standing in the University

    record books.A car accident ended Seurers

    proessional ootball career. He is

    now a reghter in Olathe.

    WHAT WAS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE

    MEMORIES FROM YOUR COLLEGE

    FOOTBALL CAREER?

    I obviously made some great

    riends rom Kansas and am

    ortunate to still be very close

    to them right now, even though

    I played back in the early 80s.

    I am rom Southern Caliorniaoriginally, so we got a chance to

    play USC in the College Jam. Tey

    were the 3-touchdown avorite

    and we ended up beating them.We also had the chance to beat

    Missouri a couple times, which

    was very, very un. A win against

    them always means a lot to boththe Jayhawk players and ans. I

    have been ortunate enough to

    stay in contact with a lot o people.

    John Hail, who was the assistant

    athletic director at the time, andI still remain very good riends.

    Being a Jayhawk has been a nice,

    long journey.

    WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE

    HOMECOMING TRADITION?

    We didnt really get a huge

    chance to participate. But it was

    always un to speak to the crowd

    beore the games, and talk to thestudents. It always involved a lot o

    excitement and emotion.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS TO BE A

    JAYHAWK?

    Its one o those things that very

    ew people will know about unless

    they actually experience it especially coming rom Caliornia

    to Kansas and not knowing much

    o what KU was all about. As

    soon as you get on campus andget involved with the people who

    are there, it doesnt take long to

    understand what it is all about, and

    the importance o the closeness o

    everybody. Jayhawk pride comes

    through with everyone involvedwith it.

    IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND

    GIVE YOUR COLLEGE FRESHMEN-SELF

    ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

    Dont wish it away. It goes by so

    ast and people are really anxious

    to get [their] degree. Tat happensast enough, so take it all in. Get

    involved with all the dierent

    activities. I was always into sports,

    but I wish I could have been

    involved in theater and Greek lie.Tere is so much to oer at the

    school. It is oolish i you dont

    take advantage.

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JAYHAWK

    TRADITION?

    Cora Schimke:My avorite traditionis denitely waving the wheat,especially at ootball games whenwe can see the entire stadiumwaving their arms.Ann McCroskey: I would denitelyhave to say Late Night in the Phog.It is such an awesome tradition andthere is nothing like the eeling obeing in Allen Fieldhouse.

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF

    BEING A ROCK CHALK DANCER?

    Schimke: Te community that weshare with all o the girls meansso much to me. We are like aclose-knit amily, always there orhelp and companionship or eachother.McCroskey: When we were there,because we were creating thesquad rom scratch, we became ateam very quickly because we hadto prove that we really belongedthere, because the dance team

    didnt even exist then. I am stillvery close to a lot o those girlstoday.

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXPERIENCE

    WITH THE ROCK CHALK DANCERS?

    McCroskey: I remember going tothe Final Four with the mensbasketball team one year. Tatwas the same year we werethe Cinderella team. I reallyremember how Bob Foster andthe marching band took us undertheir wings and helped us as wewere getting started. We traveledwith them and really ormed agreat connection with the bandmembers.Schimke: I love all o the travelgames. We create so manymemories as a team. Last year wegot to go to the mens basketballBig 12 Championship game andeven though it wasnt in Lawrence,it still elt like it was in Lawrencebecause there were so many KUans there.

    DESCRIBE YOUR FIRST HOMECOMING.

    McCroskey:Te rst was a really biglearning experience or us becausewe really didnt know what toexpect, or what people were

    expecting ous. We hadto be reallycareul notto mess upt r a d i t i o n s ,e s p e c i a l l y because somany KUAlumni comeback or homecoming. Tere issomething about the KU spiritthat hasnt changed. It has justgotten bigger and bigger and moreexciting every year.Schimke: I remember my rsttime marching in the parade andthrowing candy to the kids. Its aheartwarming experience becauseit gives you a chance to be moreone-on-one with your ans. It isincredible to see how many p eoplecome back to KU each year.

    Yell leaders stoke spirit in

    homecoming eventsWHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT

    HOMECOMING?

    Homecoming as a student wasalways a great time because it

    seemed like the entire campus

    came to lie with enthusiastic

    Jayhawks everywhere just takingin every part o Lawrence. All

    o them were always ready to

    share what they loved about the

    University and their experienceas a student. As an alum, any

    time I come back to Lawrence

    or homecoming it takes me back

    to some o the best days o mylie. Right when I pull into town,

    the nostalgia starts to hit me. I

    remember things like setting my

    room up or the rst time withall o the new stu I brought to

    start living on my own to some

    o the great moments like when

    KU made it to the Final Fourand we all packed Wescoe Beach

    to celebrate! Tere were so many

    great moments or me at KU and

    it is always a great eeling to comeback to Lawrence.

    SINCE YOU WERE A YELL LEADER, WAS

    HOMECOMING MORE ENJOYABLE?

    As a yell leader, I believe my

    experience o

    homecomingwas unique

    because I got

    to take in the

    a t m o s p h e r eo game day

    at Memorial

    Stadium. No

    matter how the ootball teamwas doing, Memorial Stadium

    was always lled the most on

    homecoming day. Getting to be

    on the eld looking up into thestands at all o the people enjoying

    the experience made it a great day

    or me. I always thought o my role

    as a yell leader as a representativeo the University and I wanted to

    show the alumni that KU was still

    being represented well. We always

    had alumni cheer squad membersback and on the eld with us and

    it was great to talk with them

    about their experiences.

    HOW WERE OTHER HOMECOMINGS

    DIFFERENT FROM YOUR

    EXPERIENCES?

    I am sure that everyone hadresponsibilities and events during

    homecoming and that everyone

    enjoyed the experience. Te only

    thing that was probably dierentor me, as a yell leader, was that

    we had a schedule o events

    throughout the day that kept mebusy rom early in the morning

    until late into the aernoon. I

    think a dierent vantage point

    was really the only dierence.I was essentially perorming

    throughout the day and others

    were taking the day in! I enjoyed

    my role and responsibilities as ayell leader and appreciated the

    opportunity to do it or our years.

    I am still one o the Jayhawks

    biggest ans and have passed theJayhawk passion on to my wie

    and three children, ages seven, ve

    and three. We are always wearing

    crimson and blue on game days.Te kids all know the Rock Chalk

    chant and even get some o the

    words to the alma mater right as

    they put their arms around eachother and sway back and orth.

    Really, the entire experience o

    being a yell leader was incredible

    or me. I developed tremendousriendships and got to experience

    so many incredible things. On

    top o that, representing the

    University o Kansas is somethingI enjoyed then and now. Rock

    Chalk!

    Marching Jayhawk, MarshaHanenberger, junior fromRochester, Minn.HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE

    COLORGUARD AT KU?

    In high school, I was on the guardteam or three years. Te last twoo those years I was elected captaino the team and had to write andchoreograph the work that wentinto the shows. When I startedlooking at universities my senioryear o high school I decided Ihad to be part o a marching bandbecause the riends you makethrough band end up being likeamily. Tis idea was incrediblyimportant to me since I was movingso ar away rom my hometown.

    So, aer a lot o research throughmy dierent options, I obviouslychose KU. Tere are so manyawesome traditions aliated withthe band here. All I had to do tosign up was register or BAND 210and audition at a camp beore thestart o the season to get on theteam. O course to actually get onthe team I had to have previousmarching experience and enoughtechnique with a fag to know whatI was doing. I also had to showthat I could learn quick enoughunder pressure since we spin a newroutine and learn an entire newshow every home game.

    WHY DO YOU ENJOY GAMEDAY SO

    MUCH?

    Te pregame is awesome. Myavorite part o it has got to bethe run on to the eld. Te drums

    come out on the eld and althoughthe student section hasn't reallyshowed up yet, the alumni have,and the band is an importantaspect o the alumni experience.You can hear all the peoplecheering as we come runningdown the stairs rom the tunnelsand onto the eld, and the energystays pumped or the rest o theshow. Our rst perormance othe game really sets the stage orhow excited people are or thegame aerwards. Its like a warmup or the crowd beore they get tosee our ootball team. My secondavorite part o pregame is ouralma mater. Hearing Crimsonand the Blue being sung all theway around the stadium at such animpressive volume gives me chillsevery time.

    I you're on Wescoe beach ues-day rom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., don'tbe alarmed by the massive amount

    o students chalking up the beach.Tey're participating in Chalk 'n'

    Rock, a homecoming event thatallows student organizations and

    groups to chalk up a square onWescoe beach.

    Chalk 'n' Rock allows students

    to showcase their artistic side andwhat KU and homecoming means

    to them.Students must incorporate this

    years theme or homecoming,

    Jayhawks Around the World, into

    their designs.Danny Sanchez, coordinator o

    Chalk n Rock, said the theme isvery open-ended.

    "Tey (students) can take it very

    literal or interpret it however theywant, Sanchez said. It will be cool

    to see how their drawing relates.Aer 2 p.m., judges will come

    around to each square and pick awinner as well as second and thirdplaces.

    Zach Brown, a ourth year archi-tecture student rom Liberty, Mo.,

    participated last year with his ra-ternity, Lambda Chi Delta.

    "It isn't always about winning,"

    Brown said. "Honestly, when we

    were designing the concept weweren't even thinking about i it

    would be the competition winningentry or not. We were just havingun with it and trying out the rst

    ideas that came to our heads.Chalking was a way or he and his

    raternity brothers to bond.We had a blast designing and

    creating it together, so in the longrun that is all that matters in myopinion, he s aid. Te act that our

    entry did well in the competition isjust icing on the cake."

    In addition to Chalk 'n' Rock,there is a mural contest onWednesday rom 10 a.m to 2 p.m.

    where students display the theme

    or homecoming using paints anda canvas. Te contest will also have

    rst, second and third prizes.Te murals will be displayed in

    the Oce o Multicultural Afairs

    Some things should be le in the80s: shoulder pads, Madonna and a

    quarter o Arnold Schwarzeneggers

    lmography, to name a ew. But is a

    Massachusets Street Homecomingparade one o those things?

    From 1984 to 1990, homecoming

    parades took place downtown on

    Massachusetts Street. Since then,theyve been held on Jayhawk

    Boulevard. And that seems like a

    logical place or it to be. But this

    year, the parade is moving back to

    Mass. Originally, the parade wasset or the night o Oct. 4, but Late

    Night at the Phog got in the way.Steering Committee member

    Holly Laferty was one o themasterminds behind the change.

    We were originally planning on

    doing it on campus on Friday

    [Oct. 4] at 6 p.m. but, because they

    moved Late Night to that Friday,

    we decided to move it to Tursday[Oct. 3]we decided it was a good

    opportunity to change it up and

    move to Mass Street again.

    Jennier Sanner, senior vicepresident or communications

    at the Adams Alumni Center,

    agrees with the move. It makes a

    lot o sense to have [the parade]downtown on Tursday when you

    have Late Night on Friday and all

    the excitement it brings. Why not

    extend the excitement to another

    evening?And its going to be exciting.

    Keeping with this years theme,Jayhawks Around the World,

    alumnus Brian McLendon willact as grand marshal or the

    parade. We thought, How cool

    would it be to have Jayhawks

    Around the World and have the

    creator o Google Earth be [grand

    marshall]? Laferty said.Elle Rose o the Steering

    Committee said,

    We as a committee decided who

    we were going to invite [to be grandmarshal]. We knew McLendon

    was a KU alum and we were dead-

    set on that.

    With this years lineup oGoogle royalty and resh scenery,

    the homecoming parade is not

    something to be missed. It will

    take place on Tursday, Oct. 3 at 6

    p.m. Aerwards, be sure to catcha pep rally at 8th Street and New

    Hampshire.

    attending KU Alumni eventswhen Im in London visiting

    WHEN YOU WERE OVERSEAS,WHERE DID YOU LIVE AND HOW

    LONG DID YOU STAY THERE?

    I lived in Mrida, Spain orone years time ollowing mygraduation rom KU. I residedin Extremadura, which is onthe very western edge o thecountry and is nestled on theborder with Portugal, romAugust 2008 to 2009. Myresidence abroad also coincidedwith the 2008 recession,which I experienced rom aninternational perspective, aswell as the 2008 presidentialelection.

    WHAT COMPANY DID YOU WORK

    FOR? WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THISCOMPANY?

    During my year in Spain, I wasemployed by the Ministry oEducation o the autonomousregion o Extremadura.Each week I taught Englishconversation courses to middleand high school students attwo institutes named Senz deBuruaga and Ruta de la Pl ata.Te ministry placed othernative English speakers rom avariety o countriesnamelyEngland, Australia, Canadaand Scotlandat other publicschools around the region.

    HOW DID BEING A JAYHAWK

    ENHANCE YOUR EXPERIENCEOVERSEAS?

    As a student, Id alreadystudied abroad twice throughthe encouragement o theuniversity and my proessors,which prepared me or therigors and challenges oimmersing mysel in anotherculture. My language skillswere more advanced than thato my peers and Id alreadyventured to learn severaladditional languages thanksto the vast oerings at theuniversity. [One languagewas] Portuguese, which came

    in handy during a eld tripto vora, Portugal, when I

    became the translator betweenmy Spanish students and thePortuguese students at theschool we were visiting. Duringmy classes at the universitywe hadnt ocused solely ongrammar and conversation, butalso culture which was a hugeactor in my seamless transitionto Spain.

    WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME

    Ive traveled around the Statesbeore and the places I wentwere lovely, but I didnt want to

    go somewhere where I wouldgo on holiday. I wanted realpeople and real culture.

    SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR

    FAVORITE PART ABOUT KANSAS?

    Probably the rst ootballgame, because Ive never beento anything like it. When wegot there it was so hot, but Ithought it was worth it. Weollowed the band insideand they were playing, andI remember, I turned to myriend and said that this is

    just like being in Disneyland.It was so surreal. Its not juststudents who come, but alsothe past students and acultyand riends. Its nothing like

    that back home. I mean, whenthe anthem came on there wasa y by. It was amazing ora school, but it didnt makesense. When something isso dierent than what youreexpecting or used to, you justdont know how to take it. Itwas just wow.

    ALUMNI

    DID YOU STUDY ABROAD WHILE

    ATTENDING KU?

    I mean my two years at KU wereone huge study abroad thing. Iwas an international student romRussia on a Fulbright scholarship.

    WHAT COMPANY DO YOU WORK FOR IN

    MOSCOW?

    Upon my arrival I got aneditorial job with Russia oday,a big international V channel.I worked there on the interviewshow Spotlight. Now Im inthe process o getting a new jobin a major Russian productioncompany which makes videos orseveral V channels.

    HOW DID BEING A JAYHAWK ENHANCE

    YOUR EXPERIENCE AND THE

    OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN

    GIVEN?

    First o all, my English level hasrisen extremely, which gives me acertain advantage in the Russianjob market. My internships withAl Jazeera and my work orKUJH-V and the Kansan gaveme hands-on experience I neededto enter a media job market. Ilearned how to conduct research,which it never hurts to know. Butwhat I value most is that I metso many wonderul people at theuniversity. Tey are all dierent,yet amazing. I wish I could havespent more time learning romthem.

    WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD

    HAVE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE?

    I have so many avoritememories. I loved the tourportion o the trip where we

It was such anawesome view o Paris at nightand was the perect way to cap

    STUDENT

    WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD AND

    DURING WHAT YEAR OF COLLEGE?I studied in rier, Germany, inthe spring semester o 2013.

    WHAT FAVORITE MEMORY DO YOU

    HAVE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE?

    I have too many avoritememories, but one o themwould be spending time withmy German roommates. Wewould cook together manyevenings, even though theyknew I wasn't a great cook (I wasa star vegetable chopper though)and aerwards we would havemovie nights. Te great thingwas that my roommates werenearly vegetarians, but also veryathletic.

    WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY STUDYING

    ABROAD?

    I learned a lot about tolerance,patience and understanding.During my ten day trip to

    Luxembourg or a class, I acedteachers who barely spokeEnglish. Communication was

    rough and I became rustratedmany times. However, I knewthat i I gave it time and triedagain and again I would beable to get through it. I hadto be understanding; i Iwere teaching a student whocouldn't understand me, Icould only do so much. Insteadwe communicated by action,gestures, and drawings.

    I also learned to enjoy lie andsocialize more oen. School inGermany is quite dierent romschool in the US (more laidback). Te University o Kansas'Graphic Design program ispretty demanding, in a goodway, but it was nice to take astroll and enjoy the little things

    in a oreign place. My roommatewould always tell me I need tosocialize more. I didn't realize itwas such a problem, but because

    o school I sacriced a lot o mysocial lie. I'm glad I was able tohave a laid back setting, because Ilearned to appreciate things I didn'tbeore and realize the dierencesbetween Europe and the US.Finally, I learned that we are prettywell o in the United States. We arevery privileged in getting many reethings (like ree public toilets orrells or drinks), having reedomin general, and being "bigger, better[and] aster." Te lie in the USseems to be a lot aster and moreconvenient, whereas in Europe Iwas able to take it slow and walkaround.

    HOW DID THE COUNTRY YOU VISITED

    DIFFER FROM THE US (FOOD, WHAT

    WAS GOOD OR BAD ABOUT IT, CULTURE,

    ETC)?I talked about it beore, butmany things diered rom theU.S. Germany was a little moreconservative than I was used to.My roommate was a politicalscience and journalism major, so Idenitely kept up to date with whatwas going on in the world. Onething that drove me crazy was thaton Sundays nearly everything wasclosed because Europe is largelyCatholic.Germany is great in being verywalkable and leaning more towarda village-city than 'suburbia.'Germany is also one o the cleanest,most sustainable countries I'vebeen in (I traveled to seven dierentcountries during my semester

    stay); everyone separated trashrom recyclables and the streetswere cleaned every day. During theschool year, it seemed like therewas a holiday every other week.Germany has a lot o celebrationsand estivals, they really knowhow to party. Another wonderulthing about Germany is the breadselection; it makes American breadtaste like paper. I miss it dearly.

    o the trip.

    WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY STUDYING

    ABROAD?

    I learned a lot about culturaldierences. We take a lot o thingsor granted here in the States(air conditioning, or example,which Paris does not have). It'sso interesting to not only see theworld, but to see it rom a dierentcultural perspective. I eel more

    independent and like I can handleany problem that comes at me.I went rom crying every nightbecause I missed home to cryingbecause I had to leave France. I Ican handle language barrier issuesand living in a completely oreigncity or a month, I eel like I canhandle anything.

    HOW DID THE COUNTRY YOU VISITED

    DIFFER FROM THE US?

    France is very dierent rom theU.S. When I got there, I hated theood. I couldn't nd anything Iwanted to eat, because it was justso dierent. Te longer I was there,the more I grew to appreciatethe dierences and enjoy myexperiences. I even tried escargot!

    Also, Parisians have a reputationin the U.S. or being rather rude,but that's not true at all. It's justanother cultural dierence.Parisians are more straightorwardand don't sugarcoat things likeAmericans do, but that doesn'tmake them rude. It's a difcultadjustment, but you soon learnthat in a big city like that, theirdemeanor is very understandableand appropriate.

    ALUMNI

    WHAT DO YOU DO IN TURKEY?

    I currently work as an EnglishEducation Consultant at a privateschool called Akansu Koleji herein Kayseri, urkey. I teach Englishto 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders, aswell as doing private lessons with

    students and adults alike. I lovemy job, and although the studentsare difcult to control at times, Ido enjoy seeing the looks on their

    aces when they understandwhat I try to teach them.

    WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING OVERSEAS?

    It is absolutely righteningliving in a country you've noknowledge o, regarding theculture and the language,and it orces you to learn asmuch as you can. I've onlybeen here or a short timeand I have had to learn someurkish to get around andto communicate with locals.Tey seem very receptive o mespeaking in their tongue. Teirencouragement and words opraise are very powerul actorsthat encourage you to keeplearning the country's cultureand language.

    ATHLETE

    HOW ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH KANSAS

    ATHLETICS?

    I was playing [volleyball] in Brazil

    in 2001 when I got recruited toplay at Kansas. Some coaches rom

    the U.S. were recruiting in Brazil

    and I decided to go to Kansas

    because at the time I did not speakany English and Kansas was the

    only team with other Brazilians.

    WHAT YEAR DID YOU GRADUATE?

    I graduated in 2006 with a degreein Communications Studies.

    WHATS YOUR EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE

    THE COUNTRY?

    Experience outside my country

    was very hard during the rst

    three months, but things were

    better when I started to meet newpeople and when my English was

    also getting b etter.

    WHY DID YOU BECOME A JAYHAWK?

    I became a Jayhawk or two

    reasons. First, because I decided

    to go a school where there were

    others Brazilians that could helpme with the language, and second,

    because Coach Jill Jones was the

    nicest coach [out o] all o the

    Americans recruiting.

    HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD

    IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?

    My experience abroad has hada huge impact in my lie. At rst

    when I graduated and I went

    to Europe to play volleyball, I

    could talk to anyone in Englisheverywhere I went. Now in Brazil

    in order to have a good job you

    need to speak good English as

    well. Going to a school outside my

    country has opened many doorsor me in my proessional career.

    ANYTHING ELSE YOUD LIKE TO SHARE?

    I am very happy and very proudto be a Jayhawk. I could not have

    chosen a better school to go to.

    SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR

    FAVORITE PART ABOUT KANSAS?

    I think its just meeting all thedierent people. Te rst couple

    o weeks I hung out with theinternational students and got toknow them and then aer that Imet a ew American people andsince then Ive been closer tothem. Im in a raternity, whichis kind o cool, and doing all theevents and everything has beenamazing. I think Lawrence is myavorite part o Kansas becauseits very liberal and you can beyoursel. Everyones really riendlyand its homey here.

    HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD

    MADE YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE

    UNIQUE?

    Studying abroad is denitelysomething Ive always wanted todo, and its met my expectations.

    I think Ive grown so much asa person and its so rewarding.When I le home I was moreo a boy, but I know how to beindependent now and my parentsdont really worry about me likethey did a year ago. I know how todo things on my own to get by andget around the country. You haveto learn how to be street smart andbook smart. I you dont do this,youre not going to pick it up untillater in your lie, like in your job.Its good to do this when youre inschool and young, and I think itssomething thats really enrichedme.

    KATIEMARTIN

    SPAIN

    STUDENT

    WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO LIVE

    ABROAD THIS SUMMER, AND WHAT

    WERE YOU DOING WHILE THERE?

    I am a global and international

    studies major and a Spanishmajor. I have always beeneager to learn about dierentsocieties histories and

    cultures. I chose to travel toEurope because I wanted tolearn more about the EU.While in Seville, Spain, I

    took two summer classesand traveled on weekendsthroughout Spain and Portugalwith my group. At the end o

    my trip I had the opportunityto travel to London to meetup with some o my amilymembers or the rst time,

    which was a blast!

    WHAT DID YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT

    SPAIN AND YOUR DAY-TO-DAY

    LIFE THERE, AND HOW WAS IT

    DIFFERENT FROM LIVING IN

    LAWRENCE?

    In Seville, I absolutely loved

    having a big lunch every daywhere the entire amily camehome or amily time andeven played cards sometimes.

    Te gastronomy o Spainis so unique; I recommendeveryone try it someday. Butmy avorite experiences inSeville were the times my

    roommate and I would go tothe market, or swimming, or

    just out and about with ourhost mom, Josea. She was so

    caring and taught us so muchabout the daily lie and thehistory o Andalusia. In Seville,everyone would be out and

    about until early in the AM,just catching up with riends,dancing or going to the bullghts. During the heat o the

    day, I was always surprised

    to see older olks with theircanes walking all over theplace and hardly breaking a

    sweat. People mainly walkedor took the tram. Te paceo lie is dierent than it ishere in Lawrence because not

    everything is rushed. Teyare very heartelt people therewho are very proud o theirimmaculate city and all its

    historic landmarks.WHAT DID YOU MISS MOST ABOUT

    AND WHAT MADE YOU MOST GLAD

    TO BE BACK?

    Really, I still miss Spain a lot. Itwas a good t or me. However,I like having more space herein my Lawrence apartmentbecause our home-stay was

    very quaint. Also, I just likebeing able to communicatewith my amily and riends,because we are in the same

    time zone.DO YOU HAVE FUTURE PLANS TO

    TRAVEL OR LIVE ABROAD?

    As o right now, I plan to returnto Spain over Christmas break.Also, I am hoping to spendthree weeks in Jerusalem

    during the summer o 2014

    with my church. It would bemy dream to have a job thatallows me to travel abroad. I

    will just have to see what theuture has in store or me.

    STUDENT

    WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD

    AND DURING WHAT YEAR OF

    COLLEGE?

    I studied abroad this pastsummer or eight weeks inFlorence, Italy. I only studiedthe Italian language andculture (this was the summerbeore my junior year).

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY

    OF YOUR EXPERIENCE?

    My avorite memory ostudying abroad was travelingto all o the dierent places inItaly and visiting London! I

    went to Venice, Rome, Chianti,Naples, Sorento, Alma Coast,Cinque erre, and ermoli toname a ew. It was an incredibleexperience lled with littlesleep, indescribable views andbreathtaking sunsets, alongwith lots o wine and cheese.

    WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY

    STUDYING ABROAD?

    While studying abroad Ilearned more about mysel.For example, I eel as thoughI can navigate any type otransportation, anywhere in thecountry. In Florence I walkedmost places, and ventured totake the city bus a ew times.We traveled by bus and by train

    almost every weekend. And ocourse we few to London. Notonly that, but I eel as though Ican conquer any metro systemanywhere aer taking on theLondon ube rails. Tose canbe very conusing and scary,but I managed just ne.

    I nally realized how muchI love America. We take somany things or granted thatI was missing and wish I hadin mid-July. Some o thesethings include ree waterin restaurants, as well asbeing able to drive a car. Inrestaurants you must pay todrink water, and it is about3.50 Euro, which is close to $5.

    So I just ordered wine becauseit was usually the same price,i not cheaper. I missed beingable to drive everywhere andbe in control o when and atwhat time I showed up to aspecic event or location. Wetake that privilege or grantedliving here and basicallydriving everywhere, every day.I really missed that.

    WHERE DID YOU GO ABROAD, ANDWHAT WERE YOU DOING WHILE

    THERE?

    I studied at the Universityo Costa Rica in San Jos ora semester or two primaryreasons. First, I had taken Spanishclasses at KU, which made meinterested in the language, and Ihad some [people] in my amilywho told me that to learn tospeak it you have to go live in aoreign country. I had also livedin Lawrence my whole lie, and,even though I love it, I wanted anew experience on my own.

    WHAT DID YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT

    COSTA RICA, AND HOW WAS IT

    DIFFERENT FROM LIVING IN

    LAWRENCE?Te eel around campus was verydierent. Its more o a socialplace in Costa Rica with a lot oareas designated or just hangingout. People do that on campushere, but not on the same level.It seemed like people would stayon campus or extra time justto hang out with riends. Also,class length was dierent as eachclass typically met once a weekor three to ve hours. And ocourse taking class in a dierentlanguage was difcult, but I had

    very positive teachers who werewilling to help.

    WHAT ARE YOU STUDYING AT KU?

    Strategic Communications.

    WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BECOME A

    JAYHAWK?

    It was my dream since 15 yearsold to study in the U.S.A. and play

    tennis or a college team. I thinkthat the University o Kansas is

    a great place to combine botheducational and athletic parts at a

    good level.

    WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE USA?

    I like the atmosphere here, how

    people are ready to help eachother. Probably the thing I like

    most so ar is how important

    and serious everything is about

    athletics. Being a student-athletehere and in Latvia are two totally

    diferent things. Teres no such

    thing as college sports [in Latvia].

    DO YOU THINK LIVING ABROAD

    IMPACTED YOUR FUTURE PLANS?

    I still havent decided...whether

    I want to stay here or move back

    to Europe, but I think that living

    abroad now is quite benecial or

    me in order to understand whatexactly I want to do in my uture

    lie.

    DO YOU THINK LIVING ABROAD MAKES

    YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE UNIQUE?

    As [ar] I know, there are a lot o

    international athletes in KU, butbeing rom Latvia makes it moreunique maybe.

    STUDENT

    WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO

    KU?

    KU is a "partner university"

    o the University o Stuttgart.

    Within these partner universities

    in the US, I wanted to choose aUniversity with a good reputation

    in Computer Science and I

    wanted to visit a part o the US

    which isnt that well known rommovies or V series.

    SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOURFAVORITE PART ABOUT KU/KANSAS?

    KUs campus is really beautiul,

    and Kansas City and Lawrence

    are really nice towns.

    WHAT ABOUT YOUR JAYHAWK

    EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE COMPARED

    TO YOUR OTHER UNIVERSITY?

    One o the main diferences here

    compared to the student lie inGermany is that the students and

    the University seem to be much

    more related. Te students show

    much more o their connection to

    the University, which makes youeel that you are a part o it as a

    whole.

    IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, WOULD YOUCOME BACK TO KANSAS AFTER YOUR

    STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IS OVER?

    So ar I like Kansas and Lawrence

    very much. Te people are veryriendly and helpul.

    STUDENTWHY DID YOU CHOOSE KU?

    I picked ve diferent schools to

    do my study abroad/exchange

    program. KU was one o them,and my home university picked

    KU or me.

    WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR AND WHAT DO

    YOU PLAN TO DO AFTER YOUR TIME

    AT KU?

    Sports science. I want to do

    sports management so Ill go toa graduate school with a sports

    management program.

    KANSAS?

    Te social aspect is my

    avorite. Ive met a lot opeople and since its such a big

    campus theres always so much

    going on.

    HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE

    ABROAD MADE YOUR JAYHAWK

    EXPERIENCE UNIQUE?

    I guess because it was such

    a big move and the whole

    university system is diferent,

    so Id say the culture shock obeing here is pretty unique.

    IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, WOULD

    MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSANPAGE 14

    As homecoming nears, organi-zations on campus prepare their

    chalk murals and parade foats.

    Most upperclassmen are used

    to the hustle and bustle o thepre-homecoming events, but resh-

    men can get lost in the whirlwind

    o college tradition. It may lead

    them to ask: what exactly is home-coming?

    I dont really know what to

    expect rom homecoming, said

    Brandon omas, a reshman romWichita. I didnt even know there

    was one. I guess I expect ood and

    dancing and some kind o enter-

    tainment.

    Another reshman, Sanjay

    Parashar rom Overland Park,also isnt sure exactly what e vents

    homecoming week will hold.

    Is there a dance? Parashar

    asked. Is there homecoming roy-alty? Ive actually been to a couple

    homecoming games in Arkansas,

    so I kind o know the ootball

    aspect o it. Im excited to see thestudent perspective.

    For those who have not experi-

    enced a college homecoming, its

    a common misconception thattheres a traditional dance like in

    many high schools.

    When I was a reshman, I didn't

    really know what it was going to

    be, said Emily Poppe, a senior

    rom Omaha, Neb. I didn't under-stand the magnitude o the whole

    week. When I participated in the

    parade and saw all o the events

    they did throughout the week, Iwas blown away and realized I

    wasn't in high school anymore.

    Sierra Franklin, a senior rom

    Wichita, agreed with Poppe. Shesaid she hadnt had any idea what

    she was getting into during her

    rst University homecoming, but

    she wished she had been moreinvolved during her reshman year.

    My advice would be to just enjoy

    it, Franklin said. I you happen to

    meet alums during the weekend,

    embrace them and gain some o

    their knowledge and experiencebecause they've been in our spots

    as students beore and they have a

    little insight o what lie is like aer

    the hill.But just a tip, don't walk on the

    chalk n' rock murals unless you
