Alcohol, fake ID possessionamong top local offensesCODY [email protected]
RACES
I you happen to have a run-inwith Lawrence police, odds are
youve got one o two things in your
hand: stolen property or a beer.
In 2012, local law enorcementissued 341 citations or a minor in
possession o alcohol. Tis makes
MIPs the second-most common
public oense in the city behind
the. Tis doesnt mean 2012 is ananomaly, though. Since 2006, MIPs
have been no lower than the h
most common public oense in
Lawrence.Tose charged with an MIP ace a
multitude o consequences, includ-
ing a $300 to $500 ne, up to 30
days in jail, 40 hours o communityservice and an automatic license
suspension o 30 days. I charged
with unlawul use o a drivers li-
cense (a ake ID) the ne couldrange rom $300 to $2,500, up to a
year in jail and 100 hours o com-
munity service.
Softening the blowWhen it comes to MIPs and ake
ID charges, students have a couple
o legal options: diversion or ght-ing the case. Diversion is essentially
a contract with the city prosecutor
that requires the oender to pay
a larger ne and adhere to condi-tions laid out by the prosecutor. In
exchange or staying out o trouble,
the charge will be dismissed and
made unsearchable by anyone out-side o law enorcement.
Steve Allton, sta attorney or the
Universitys Legal Services or Stu-
dents, estimated that 90 percent orst-time oenders in these cases
at the University go on diversion,
something that he highly recom-
mends or students.A lot o times what were con-
cerned about is doing anything
we can to make sure the student
keeps the citation rom turninginto a conviction, Allton said. Its
common that employers ask about
convictions more so than charges,
so the nice thing about diversion isi you do complete it, you can tell
your employer you dont have one.
Allton also recommends that stu-
dents ll out the application or
diversion themselves, rather thanhiring a lawyer, to save money.
Diversion is common or rst-
time oenders, but i a student were
to get caught a second time, Alltonsaid it becomes more complicated
and the best option is to lawyer-up.
Its not a given that those people
wont get a second diversion, but itsdenitely less likely, he said. Usu-
ally i somebody has a previous
conviction, we recommend they
seek private counsel because itsprobably more likely [that] i they
have counsel, they will be given di-
version again.
I a student decides to argue thecase, they ace a potential convic-
tion as well as lawyer ees and nes
upwards o $2,000. I they lose the
battle in court, the oender will beconvicted o a misdemeanor. Tat
misdemeanor will stay on your re-
cord or three years, aer which it
could potentially be expunged, orcompletely wiped away, rom the
oender's record.

A course on international careersallows University students to so-
lidiy their curiosity about work-
ing in another country into a clear
career plan. Te class involves aspring break trip to London or
Costa Rica, where students visit
global companies and meet with
employers. Te deadline to applythrough study abroad is Nov. 1.
It takes determination or a stu-
dent to get the chance to work
abroad, said David Gaston, direc-
tor o the University Career Cen-ter.
International employers are not
necessarily coming here to recruit
you, Gaston said. You have to goconvince someone that you have
skills and abilities that will be
valuable to them.
Gaston helps coordinate the Pre-paring or International Careers
courses, which aim to teach stu-
dents the steps necessary to begin
an international career.We talk to a lot o Americans
who have gone abroad. Tey
share their stories and give stu-
dents insight about what it is like,
said Julie Hamel, assistant directoro the University Career Center
and one o the instructors or the
course.Beore leaving on their trips, the
students are assigned the task o
setting up an inormational inter-
view with someone in an industrythe student is interested in. During
their time abroad, they conduct
the interviews, providing students
the chance to ask questions aboutthe work environment and what it
takes to obtain a job abroad.
Hamel said one ocus o the
course is to provide students with
a realistic picture o what work-ing abroad is like, as there can be
signicant dierences in culture,
work style and expectations rom
one country to the next.She adds that those who seek
work abroad should be fexible,
adaptable and open to new expe-
riences.I youre the kind o person
whos going to take on that chal-
lenge, you cant be locked into the
way you do things, Hamel said.Additionally, Hamel said that

LEAVE EM IN THE DUSTCreative 5k popularity inspires campus events
TARA BRYANT/KANSANParticipants of The Color Run toss up color simultaneously at the after party in Lawrence on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. Those interested in running a Halloween-themed 5k have two upcoming opportunities in Lawrence on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3.
According to Active.com, all is
an ideal time or outdoor workouts
because o the comortable tem-peratures and changing scenery
conditions perect or running
races.
My avorite season is all, be-cause its warm outside and I can
run, said Sarah Schneider, a junior
rom Mulvane. Schneider is vice
president o the KU Running Club,
which has participated in numer-ous races and is hosting a National
Intercollegiate Running Club As-
sociation on Nov. 5.
Schneider isnt the only one whos
enthusiastic about all and the co-inciding running conditions. Ac-
cording to Running USA, a non-
prot organization dedicated to
distance running, the number o5-kilometer races and race par-
ticipants in the United States has
increased dramatically. Te total
number o running events in the
U.S. reached over 26,000 in 2012,with 6.2 million people participat-
ing in 5ks alone, according to the
organization.
Running USAs 2013 State o the
Sport said the spike in participa-tion is due to improved race man-
agement, creativity in events and
increased accessibility to inorma-
tion via websites and social media,among other actors.
Some organizations within and
outside o the University are re-
sponding to the recent popularity
o 5ks by creating their own events.For example, Student Union Ac-
tivities is putting on a 5k called
Te Jogging Dead 5k: Run or Die
rying on Oct. 27. KU Student
Endowment is also planning a 5kcalled Crimson & Boo! 5k Run
or Sunday, Nov. 3.
KU Student Endowment came
up with the idea in response to thesuccess o similar events. Proceeds
rom the race are going toward KU
Endowments Student Leadership
Award, which is given to outstand-
ing campus leaders every springand can be put toward tuition or
the cost o textbooks.
Sarah Morris, the President o the
Student Endowment Board, said,
Weve received a lot o positiveeedback and a lot o interest in the
event so ar, so were excited about
this year and how we can grow it in
the coming years.In addition to student organiza-
tions, races also seem to be popular
among charities and or-prot or-
ganizations. Te Color Run came
to Lawrence in September, TeGlow Run 5k is on Saturday, and
Run or Dye will come to Lawrence,
but has yet to announce a date. All
three partner with various charities
and provide a percentage o theproceeds to them, in exchange or
the charities providing volunteers.
We get dierent charity part-
ners [in] every city we go to. Wetry to nd a good charity partner

As an avid bicyclist, graduatestudent Jay Decker wanted to help
make biking more popular on
campus. He created the RackIt
App to help bicyclists at the Uni-versity nd places to leave their
bikes.
Te app, which was nished last
week, uses both Google maps and
satellite imagery similar to GoogleEarth to give bicyclists a visual o
where bike racks are located on
campus. Users can search or bike
racks at a specic campus locationor building, and click on a par-
ticular rack to see its capacity. Te
app is ree and currently available
to Android phone users.I already had the resources to
create the app, and biking has been
gaining popularity here. Te app
creates transparency or bike racks
around campus to help people ndones that arent very eye-catching,
Decker said, adding that he hopes
this app will help the University
become bike-riendly.Decker, who is in the urban plan-
ning masters program, hopes the
app will expand beyond campus.
Lawrence is a bike-riendlycommunity. Depending on the
popularity the app gains, the
logical next step would try and
coordinate with the city regardingexpanding the app. Tis way it can
apply not only to campus riders,
but the whole city, Decker said.
Te KU Center or Sustainabilityhas worked closely with Decker
and other members o the KU
Bicycle Advisory Committee to
promote biking on and to campus.
Biking is popular through
many avenues on campus and
throughout Lawrence, said Kari
Cantarero, Outreach Coordinator
o the KU Center or Sustainabil-
ity and head o the KU BicycleAdvisory Committee. Tere is
a large biking community at KU,
both with the KU Cycling group
and with students, aculty and sta
who cycle to and around campus.
By continuing to develop resourc-es such as this app, we hope to
ease the ride or those groups and
encourage new riders to join.
Jeremy Chabot, a fh-yearsenior rom Wichita, is working
with Cantarero to create covered
bike racks, especially around
student housing areas where bikesare exposed to the elements or
long periods. Chabot, who is also a
bicyclist, recently downloaded the
RackIt app.Afer downloading the app, I
did discover a ew bike racks that I
didnt know were there. I was sur-
prised there was a rack by Malott,Chabot said.
So other than promoting a
healthier liestyle, reducing
transportation costs, and being
environmentally riendly, why
should students take an interest inbiking on or around campus?
As Decker explains, Its ree,
its un and i its not raining, its a
great option.uesday, Oct. 21 is Bike KU
Day during Campus Sustain-
ability Week. Students can learn
more about biking on campus, theBicycle Advisory Committee and
RackIt during the weeks events,
but or now, those interested can
visit bike.ku.edu to learn moreabout biking on campus and in the
Lawrence community. Visit the
Google Play store to download the
RackIt app.

New app promotes bicycling to campus
Tere are 433,260 Kansans who
are insecure about ood. O those,18,570 live in Douglas County.
With the hope o eeding some
o these struggling citizens, KU
Fights Hunger has organized itsfh annual ood drive across
campus and throughout the Law-
rence community.
Telma Simons, coordinator o
KU Fights Hunger, hopes that theood drive and the accompanying
events will spread awareness o
the hunger crisis in America.Engaging, educating and doing
some good. Tats what we want
to do, Simons said. We want to
inorm people about events going
on and we want to inorm them o
the need or donations.
Simons, who started the KU
Fights Hunger group ve years
ago, got the idea afer making
years o donations to the SalvationArmy when her kids were grow-
ing up. What started out as adopt-
ing a amily or Christmas turned
into an eort to ght hunger inthe local community.
One year I started asking what
else they need, and they men-
tioned their ood supply waslow, said Simons, who works in
the computer center on campus
or KU Inormation echnology.
Ten we got into the habit wherehe would email me when their
ood was low and I would gather
donations rom my building.
From that point, Simons occa-sional donation runs grew into a
collaboration with the University
that kicked o the rst KU Fights
Hunger ood drive. In the years
since, the organization has con-
tinued to grow and include moreo the University and Lawrence
communities.
Tough KU Fights Hunger is
currently run only by Universitysta, Simons hopes to get more
students involved with the cause.
Tis idea continues to grow and
develop, and the way it evolves isdetermined by whos involved,
Simons said. So we would really
like to get students involved be-
cause they would give us a newperspective.
Te drive will last the entire
month o October and will eature
events that are aimed to educate
people about the hunger situation
in America. Tese events willinclude an Oct. 17 showing o A
Place at the able, a documentary
on hunger in America, and hun-
ger advocacy training on Oct. 24.Dry and canned ood donations
can be made at several locations
on campus and across Lawrence.
Monetary donations can be madeonline at justoodund.org by
selecting KU Fights Hunger, or
through the KU Bookstore by
adding $1 to your purchase.Donations made through KU
Fights Hunger will go to the Just
Foods ood bank and will then be
distributed to more than 40 orga-
nizations in Douglas County.
Simons is hopeul that the ooddrive will bring students and sta
together to make a dierence in
the community.
I we can get the KU communi-ty involved, with 5,000 aculty and
sta and 27,000 students, we can
make a huge impact on our local
community, Simons said.

Ofce booking recap.
Te recent government shut-down is estimated to cost the
United States $1.6 billion or every
week that the government is shutdown. Calculated by the globaleconomic consulting rm IHS
Global Insight, this gure trans-
lates into about $300 million per
day, or $12.5 million per hour ogovernment closure. While the
nation scrambles to nd an an-
swer to the chaos atop Capitol
Hill, American college students,including those on Mount Oread,
remain mostly oblivious to the re-
al-world implications o the recent
government shutdown, insteadpreerring to ask the question,
Why does it matter?
Te scenario that would aect
students and everybody would bei the United States deaults on its
debt, said Bob Antonio proessor
in the sociology department. Itsbonds are a major source o in-vestment or other nations, and i
theres a loss o condence in the
United States, the ripple eects
could be massive.
Personally, it doesnt matter to
me, said Kayla Finks, a junior
rom Fresno, Cali. I dont pay at-
tention to politics that much. I justdont eel like it aects me.
Finks isnt the only student that
eels unaected by the shutdown.I dont know much about the gov-ernment shutdown, said Austin
Biggers, a reshman rom Denver.
I know its a big deal, but I dont
know really why it happened. Icasually watch news about politics
on the news, but Im not really that
involved.
Despite what many studentsthink about the government, there
are real consequences or students
and average Americans.
Te U.S. Department o Educa-tions Ofce or Civil Rig hts, which
investigates cases o prejudice,
sexual assault, racism and inequal-
ity on college campuses acrossthe nation, has closed its doors.
Federal unding o graduate and
doctoral research programs havebeen suspended, causing manystudents, teachers and researchers
to discontinue research temporar-
ily, many being barred rom their
research acilities altogether. Tis
has been urther complicated by
the passing o the Oct. 3 deadline
or research unding, which many
programs will now be unable toapply or because o the shutdown.
Perhaps the greatest impact on
students will be their inability toapply or student loans rom thegovernment, which would typical-
ly aect about 14 million students
across the country i it were not or
the majority o students alreadybeing in school or the semester.
However, i students are looking
to get a loan rom the government
or the spring semester, they mayhave to wait a little longer.
Military programs across the
country have also been hit, caus-
ing institutions like West Point tourlough nearly 1,500 sta mem-
bers and 132 aculty members
who were all government employ-
ees. Students coming rom mili-tary amilies are also aected, as
government benets or military
amilies have temporarily beensuspended.My dad is in the military, so
when we go to the military base,
everything is shut down, said
Kristen Hays, a junior rom
Waterville. Our grocery stores
are all closed down. Te only thing
that is open is the army hospital
and the pharmacy, which has veryrestricted hours, making it hard
or my amily to get what we usu-
ally take or granted. We cant useany o our benets, which is hardor people who are used to having
them.
Unortunately, the impact o
the government shutdown willmost likely do little to spark stu-
dents interest in government and
politics in the United States and
around the world.Historically, students and young
people have been the least politi-
cally active group in the United
States, said Burdett Loomis, pro-essor o political science atthe
University. Students dont vote,
they dont talk about politics at
all. When something like studentloans get taken away, Pell Grants
get cancelled or delayed, then they
care, but right now, they couldntcare less.Tankully, many see students
disinterest in government as a
temporary issue.
We need to cultivate citizenship
and a sense o citizenship, Anto-
nio said. Cultivating citizenship
is so important. Cultivating a
sense o community orms publicopinion and establishes an envi-
ronment or us to come together
in groups.I anything, the government
shutdown could act as a spring-
board or young voters to get in-
terested in the political sphere.
Events are ar more importantthan anything people can do, said
Loomis. Sometimes its personal-
ities and events policies like gay
rights, civil rights and the growtho religious groups in politics are
what bring people into politics.
Whatever the outcome o the
shutdown, the impact on studentswill not likely change anytime
soon. Im optimistic about peo-
ple entering politics and getting
interested in politics over time,said Loomis. Im pessimistic to
change in students views o poli-
tics while theyre young.

Do you deserve to be
here? Do you deserveto be a student seeking
an education at the University o
Kansas? Most would argue, Yes, I
have a pulse. But beyond that, thecombination o your high school
GPA, AC score or other abilitiesprobably indicated you could
handle college to some degree.While its great to be a Jayhawk,
its denitely not exclusive our
admission rate exceeds 90 percent.
On the other end o the spectrum,
Harvards admission rate hoversaround 6 percent. Not everyone
can attend Harvard, just like not
everyone can claim a judicial
clerkship or have inside reerralsto top Wall Street rms. Tese
chances are scant; the demand ar
exceeds the supply.
But what i there was a actorthat would increase your odds o
getting into Harvard ve-old?
Youd want to know what it was,
and how you could add it toyour resume. Unortunately, its
like the weather completely
out o your power. Increasing
your acceptance chances to 30percent requires you to be a
legacy, meaning one o yourparents attended the renowned
institution.I one o your parents attended
Harvard, you probably had plenty
o resources at your command.
Its regrettable that someone else
who had e wer resources doesntreceive this boost.
But thus begins the story o op-
portunity hoarding. As Charles
illy coined it, opportunityhoarding occurs when members
o a categorically bounded net-
work acquire access to a resource
that is valuable, renewable, subjectto monopoly, supportive o
network activities and enhanced
by the networks modus operan-di, network members regularly
hoard their access to the resource,
creating belies and practices that
sustain their control.So this basically involves the
haves keeping what they have
rom the have-nots. Although
elite institutions provide excellentopportunities or upward social
mobility with scholarships or
nancially-needy students, they
also continue the tradition oexclusion by giving preerence to
legacies in the admissions process.
Whats wrong with this? Well, or
more upward mobility to occur,there must be downward mobility
rom the top. But the people at
the top hold on and avoid sliding
down the chute, even when theydeserve to descend. Social strat-
ication will not even out i theauent reuse to let their own ail.
I they hold onto these prestigiousinternships, jobs and options, how
can the lower or middle class (the
categories most o us belong in)
ascend? Tere are ewer and ewer
opportunities or upward mobilitywhen the wealthy salvage these
spots or kin. Opportunity hoard-
ing shis social mobility or those
going down and those attemptingto go up.
So how are you afected? Well,
maybe you missed out on a job
because it was awarded to some-one with a better network. Or
maybe you were denied admission
to another institution because
a child o a wealthy alum lledthe last spot. On the other hand,
its also possible you beneted
rom such opportunity hoarding.
Maybe you received a job becauseyour parents knew someone.
At that point, its convenient.But under John Rawls veil o
ignorance, youd probably wantto see air policies based on merit
implemented. Rich kids who dont
perorm as well dont deserve
preerential treatment over
smarter, poorer kids just becauseo their parents. Departing rom
social inequality will require soci-
etys auent strata to stop hoard-
ing opportunities or those whodeserve to ail, and cede them to
those who are deemed deserving
by talent and perormance.

UPWARD MOBILITY
COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT CONNECTIONS
I theres one major com-
plaint I have about the
University o Kansas, its thestate o our sidewalks. Not our
well-maintained acilities, but
the inhabitants o those side-
walks. Im talking about you.Consider this my open letter
to every pack o pedestrians
shuing along like zombies. Im
going on the record to say that iwe hired a ew hundred people
to spank us every dozen eet orso, wed have a much more punc-
tual student population.Teres something uniquely
rustrating about being stuck in
a pack o phone drones that are
shuing along listening to Wiz-ard Khalia or what have you.
Youd think all o the hype tracks
would get people to move aster
than one mile per hour.My temporary solution or
keeping our walkways clear will
be to tackle slow people rom
behind. Im still trying to decidei Ill scream bloody murder as
I take them down. I dont want
to give them a chance to react
beore we hit the deck but I think
it magnies the impact. Ill suferan injury or two no doubt, but
Ive weathered worse getting outo the bathtub.
Dont get me wrong; the
problems dont stop at sluggish
walkers.People who ride their bikes
on the sidewalk: What is wrong
with you? Teres some leeway
back home where there werentthousands o students crowding
every inch o asphalt. But here,
its a diferent story. Ive seriously
considered kicking in the spokeso more than a ew bicyclists
trying to jerk their handlebars
between arms and shoulders o
the sidewalk horde.Get back on the street and stop
trying so hard to look like you
got arted out o a Jack Kerouac
novel.I wont say they arent nec-
essary, but the maintenance
workers who drive those robot
war machines right up alongsidethe concrete? Tey are absolutely
terriying. Im not asking the
University to get rid o them
but at least let me re back
with a water balloon or two. Itwould help my peace o mind
and make lawn care un or
everyone.
Despite all my gripes with dailylie, I cant help but think that
i I were a little bolder or even
just a bit meaner that I wouldnt
have these constant problems.Be it sidewalks, hand-washing
or reading quietly in the library,i I had a bit more sass, I would
probably be a l oad happier.I act all high and mighty when
Im given the podium here, but
out in the real world Im just a
nervous pedestrian skittering be-tween openings in the crowd and
trying to work up the courage to
shush people in Anschutz.
Te problems that plague usevery day can be called at worst a
minor annoyance and at best the
quirks o daily lie. As big o a
bummer as it is, the best I cando is whine and give ofenders
the stink eye. For now, Ill work
on my tackling orm and start
installing tripwires. Stay on your
toes, people.
Wil Kenney is a junior majoring injournalism from Overland Park.
his weekend, I had a much
needed girl talk with
my three best riends. We
all got under the covers (wait,is that weird?) and talked about
our dramatically dysunctional
lives. We, o course, laughed at
our troubles instead o trying toactually x them.
It had been a while since we had
gotten together, so while I was
driving back home, I began torealize that those little moments
are the times that I live or. While
some o you may consider that
to be kind o pathetic, I eel as
though Ive been undeservinglyblessed. I know that I eel so
much better aer I spend a day
unproductively laughing and
telling the worst jokes with myellow comedian-wannabes.
I have come to the conclusion
that a great number o girls my
age, mysel included, put toomuch efort into trying to obtain
a boyriend or keeping a hold on
the one they have. However, lately
Ive begun to see that the mostimportant people in my lie are
my riends, which some people
probably look past as well. Why
dont we try as hard with our
riends? Why is it easier to throwthem to the curb when they hurt
us?
Some o my biggest regrets inlie are the riendships I let ade
away or those that I threw away
or no reason at all. My advice is
to work on every relationship inyour lie. Let the ones you love
know that you love them, because
you dont know i theyl l be here
tomorrow.You should treat your riend-
ships as careully as you would
a romantic relationship. What a
lot o us orget is that riends arethe constant in our lives. While
bouncing rom boy-to-boy, our
riends are there through it all.My best riends are the people
that I always all back on, even
when that amazing boy wasnt
so amazing aer all.In any relationship, you have to
give just as much as you take, as
Im sure youve heard an obnox-
ious amount o times in your lie.But its truer or riendships than
anything. Your riends should
know that they can all back on
you, just as much as you all back
on them.I know my riends will make
un o me or everything Ive
written in this article because Im
never this mushy or serious. I li keto laugh and I like to be gooy,
because thats what lie is about.
Tats what I look or in riend-
ship and I think a lot o peoplewould say the same.
Te point Ive been trying to
make is not that you should
disown your signicant other(sorry i you have already sent
that break-up text), but that you
should make sure that your spe-cial someone can resemble some-one similar to your best riend.
And i you dont have a signi-
icant other, dont worry about
it you probably have amazingriends right in ront o you who
care about you just as much as
any boyriend or girlriend ever
would. So go have a lazy Sundaywith your best riends and stuf
your ace, because those are the
things you will miss when youre
older.

In 2010 aer his work with
Clipse, Pusha declared
himsel a solo artist and signed
with Kanye Wests G.O.O.DMusic. Fans have been waiting
or his debut album ever since.
Hes recorded numerous guest
verses, released two mixtapes
Fear o God and Wratho Caine and also released
an EP, Fear o God II: Let Us
Pray. Yesterday marked the re-
lease o his debut album, MyName is My Name, and Pusha
aims to live up to the music
industrys high expectations.
Pusha begins the albumwith King Push and his very
rst words are Tis is my
time, this is my hour. Pusha recognizes how big this mo-ment is; aer being in rap or
so long, its his time to break
out. And, or the most part, he
does not disappoint.Te production on the album
is great, which was expected
with Kanye West as the executive
producer. Along with Kanye,the album also eatures produc-
tion rom Pharrell Williams,
Hudson Mohawke and Swizz
Beatz. Nearly every beat perectlymatches the overall mood o the
album. Te production eatures
everything rom triumphant
horns to gentle piano and it allsounds great.
Ever since his days with Clipse,
Pusha has been regarded as
one o raps greatest emcees. He
continues to prove that with thisalbum. As usual, Pusha proves
hes a witty lyricist with great
wordplay and metaphors.
Most o what he raps about ishis early days in Virginia as a
cocaine dealer. One o the more
clever lines on the album boast-
ully states, I sold more dopethan I sold records.
Te only real downall o the
album are two tracks that arent
on par with the overall tone.Tose two tracks are 40 Acres
eaturing Te Dream and No
Regrets eaturing Kevin Cossom
and Jeezy.
Tey arent necessarily bad
songs because Pusha is incred-ible.Te problems with both o
these songs are the eatures. In
40 Acres, Te Dream, whos
usually great, doesnt sound like
himsel. He sounds unexpected-
ly uninspired. In No Regrets,Kevin Cossom sounds bored and
dull while Jeezy and Pusha
hold their own.
Pusha lives up to the hypewith his debut album, My Name
is My Name. As an artist who
keeps getting better and better,
itll be exciting to see what hedoes next.

THAT MOMENT WHEN
YOU HAVE TO
DROP A CLASS
Welcome to midterms: All-night
study sessions are common, stress
levels are through the roo and
many students are pushing their
health to the wayside. Exercising
at home is one way to combat the
stress o a busy schedule and im-
pending exams.
Te benets o getting active ar-
ent just physical. According to the
article Exercise to Manage Stress
rom Fit Body Boot Camp, exer-
cise can heighten the endorphin
level, or eel-good chemicals, in
your brain. Tese chemicals block
sensations o pain and stress, and
generally work to create a sense o
euphoria.
Te Anxiety and Depression As-
sociation o America states thatexercise improves sleep, increases
condence and reduces symptoms
o depression and anxiety, which
can heighten during times o in-
creased stress like midterms and -
nals weeks. Furthermore, including
physical activity in your study plan
isnt just good or stress it can
aect your grades, too. According
to the article How Exercise Boosts
Your Brain rom WebMD.com,
just 20 minutes o walking beore a
test can improve your scores.
For some students, spending time
on physical activity improves atti-
tudes and ocus.
Working out is like an escape
rom reality or a ew hours, said
Lindsay Manning, a reshman rom
Woodlands, exas. You can orgetabout whats stressing you out in
your lie and just ocus on pushing
yoursel and getting better.
But who has time to go to the gym
during an exam week? A common
misconception is that working out
is dicult without equipment.
However, there are many exercises
that require only two things: your
body and an open area. Its hard to
get away rom your desk (or o the
couch) during midterms, but try to
drop the textbooks and get active
with a couple o these moves:
LungesWalking and stationary lunges
benet gluteal muscles, quadriceps
and hamstrings. When lunging,
avoid injury by keeping your back
straight, engaging your core and
making sure the ront knee doesnt
extend past the toes. Lightly touch
the back knee to the ground
dont rest your weight on it, though.
oo easy? Add weights by holding
dumbbells (or textbooks) in each
hand.
SquatsOther exercises or the lower
body are squats and wall sits. Like
lunges, squats target glutes, quadri-
ceps and hip abductors, and dont
require equipment. Focus on keep-ing the chest rom collapsing or-
ward. Forming a 90 degree angle
with your knees. Wall sits are also
good or your legs you can easily
wall sit while reviewing notes.
Push upsWant Marine arms? ry push
ups they benet the upper body
by working chest, abdominal and
arm muscles. Place hands directly
under your shoulders or a tradi-
tional push up. o mix it up, try a
diamond push up, which stresses
the triceps. For this move, put your
hands together directly underneath
the sternum. A staggered push up
is another challenging version,
where one hand is placed under the
shoulder and the other is placed sixinches urther orward.
Planks and pilatesPlanks are great core workouts,
which also need no equipment.
Standard planks work upper and
lower abs and side planks target
obliques, but planking is the obvi-
ous choice or those who want to
tighten their core. Pilates is a orm
o exercise that ocuses on the de-
velopment o balance, strength
and exibility, so it includes a lot
o core work. Easy Pilates exercis-
es that can be done rom home in-clude hundreds, roll ups and criss
crosses.
For hundreds, extend the legs into
a V position at approximately a
45 degree angle with the shoulders
o the ground. Hold this position,
ocusing on the core, while pump-
ing arms up and down. Roll ups are
done by curling the chin towards
the chest and rolling the body up
into a sitting position with the arms
extended toward the eet. Bicycling
the eet and touching the correlat-
ing elbow to the opposite knee are
criss crosses.
CardioCardio is also important to
complete your workout. While
strength exercises build muscle,cardio keeps a body trim. It can
also ratchet up your smarts, boost
your productivity [and] rev your
energy, according to How Exer-
cise Boosts Your Brainpower rom
Active.com. Tat boost is just what
a college student needs beore mid-
terms.
Walking, jogging and running
are obvious choices or non-equip-
ment cardio, but students can also
take advantage o the machines at
the Ambler Student Recreation and
Fitness Center on campus try
the stair climber, stationary bike or
elliptical. Aim or at least 20 to 30
minutes o high intensity cardio.
By including bouts o physical
activity during study sessions, stu-dents can break a sweat and possi-
bly receive better grades on those
dreaded exams. Te next time you
take a break rom the textbooks,
pick some o these exercises and try
a 15-minute circuit. Te benets o
working out may help in the class-
room more than you think.

now works as a ull-time musician,perorming three times a week and
singing original songs.
Te band comes with me when
they can and when the budget al-lows, McGaw said. We probably
play two or three shows a month
where we actually promote and try
to ll the room with people whoare not just there to have dinner
and drink alcohol.
McGaw has perormed with di-
erent bands, but he eels a deepconnection to the members o
Wells the raveler. Tey work
closely together, but also know
each other on a personal level.
It shows when we play on stage.We put in a lot o work and when

and science.Afer I graduate, I would like to
teach I think, but itll also depend
on what the
music is do-ing, Jones
said. Its the
classic exam-
ple o a reallysolid backup
plan. I do en-
joy both, its
not like Imjust going
through the
motions o the school side. Im a
musician rst so I would like that
to happen but I also love to teach.Weekly rehearsals, several shows
a month, promoting the bands
music and pursuing an education
ull-time are all part o Jones jam-packed schedule. He said he appre-
ciates his support system, which
helps him stay ocused
Teres only so much time. Itsan ebb and ow, and the people
around me understand that I may
have music commitments that run
straight into school commitmentsand thats the entire day and I dont
talk or see anybody else, Jones
said. Its part o who I am and they
understand that and love and sup-
port me or doing the things I loveto do.
Teir next record o new, origi-
nal songs is under way, as well as
a scheduled tour over winter break.Tey have two shows lined up in
Kansas City this month and will
return to Lawrence or a peror-
mance at the Bottleneck Saturday,Nov. 16.

that has a good base in that city
because they really help us with
volunteers and promotions aswell, said Caitlin Patrick, events
director or the Glow Run 5k.
For Lawrence, the Glow Run is
partnering with Te United Mi-
tochondrial Disease Foundation.While these commercial races
oer many entertaining oppor-
tunities to participants, they alsohave the potential to gain a hugebottom line. Te Alaska Dispatch
last year reported that Te Color
Run made upwards o $750,000
rom registration alone.Besides providing opportuni-
ties or racers to run and orga-
nizations to obtain prots, these
races also oer health benets.
According to the Peer HealthEducators, a volunteer student
group that provides health edu-
cation, and Active.com, running
has many benets such as reduc-
ing stress and depression.Its or those reasons, along with
a eeling o accomplishment, that
Schneider enjoys the sport and
continues making race-orientedgoals. I ran my rst hal-mara-
thon this past summer and run-
ning a marathon is denitely onmy bucket list, Schneider said.

through the course, students are
able to determine what careerpath is best or them and whether
that includes working abroad.
Its not or everybody, Hamel
said. I think some students think
it sounds really exciting to workabroad, but we try to stress that
its very dierent rom going or a
week or two as a tourist.
Bret Koch, a junior rom on-ganoxie, participated in the
course last spring. He said he
ound that although the class had
discussions about being able togo abroad and become comort-
able in a dierent setting, he had
trouble actually visualizing what
it would be like.He adds that his short stay in
London over spring break pro-
vided just a glimpse into whathis lie would be like i he were towork abroad.
I dont think I got a well-round-
ed idea o what its like to have an
international career because I
wasnt there long enough, Kochsaid.
However, Koch said he elt more
prepared about entering the in-
ternational job market rom theskills he learned rom the course,
including how to build an inter-
national resume, connect with
international companies andbegin identiying possible posi-
tions and the steps necessary to
become a competitive applicant.
Whether a student seeks to
start their international career bygoing to another country or by
working with a global company
in the United States, Gaston said
they need to have the initiative,persistence and sel-condence
necessary to get to where they
want.
Its not easy, especially as ayoung recent graduate, Gaston
said. You have to have the cour-
age to go out and do something
that you might not be comort-able with.

OPEKA Several Kansas Su-
preme Court justices said ues-
day that the state has brokenits unding promises to public
schools, but they acknowledgedthat the current unding guide-
lines might not be easible or thestate, long-term.
At issue is whether the Supreme
Court will uphold a lower-court's
January ruling ordering the stateto increase school unding by
at least $440 million a year. Te
justices are considering a lawsuit
led in 2010 by attorneys or stu-dents and several school districts,
including Dodge City, Hutchin-
son, Kansas City and Wichita.
Tey contend that the state has
ailed to comply with a 2006 Su-preme Court order to increase
unding, violating a provision
o the Kansas Constitution re-
quiring the Legislature to make"suitable provision" or nanc-
ing public schools. Te court haspreviously ruled that the state is
required to give schools enoughmoney to provide every child
with a suitable e ducation.
Justices Eric Rosen and Lee
Johnson said the court signedo on the 2006 law and end-
ed the previous lawsuit based
on promises that unding would
increase.Justice Dan Biles, who repre-
sented the State Board o Edu-
cation beore his appointment
to the court, said legislators havedescribed education as the state's
top priority.
"Why don't we just hold the
Legislature to what they said?"Biles said.
Steven McAllister, State Solici-
tor General, argued that legisla-
tors have latitude under the Kan-sas Constitution over spending
decisions, though they did the
best they could during and afer
the Great Recession, including
using ederal stimulus dollarsgiven to states to blunt the nan-
cial impact.
But in a ruling issued in January,
a three-judge panel in ShawneeCounty District Court noted that
as the state's economy improved,the Republican-controlled Leg-
islature approved massive per-
sonal income tax cuts. Gov. Sam
Brownback pushed or those taxreductions to stimulate the econ-
omy, but critics have said they'llstarve state government o unds.
"Tey took all the resources outo the system and then stand here
and plead that they can't aord to
increase unding to schools," said
Alan Rupe, a Wichita attorneyrepresenting the students and
school districts. "Tat's the prob-
lem that we're dealing with here."
A Supreme Court decision isanticipated by early January 2014.
McAllister argued that the Su-
preme Court would be overstep-
ping its constitutional authority
to step in again and tell lawmak-ers how much must be spent on
public schools. And, he argued,
such increases in unding aren't
sustainable."Te Legislature has to deal with
the real world," McAllister said."Te constitution shouldn't be a
suicide pact."Kansas Supreme Court Justice
Eric Rosen asked the plaintis'
attorney when, i ever, the state's
40-year cycle o school undinglawsuits would end especially
with ever-changing demands on
schools to meet new education
standards, rom the ederal NoChild Lef Behind Act to new
Common Core standards adopt-
ed by the state in 2010.
"Is there an end in sight?" Rosensaid.
Biles also questioned whether
there was enough evidence about
how individual students wereharmed specically. Rupe said
Kansas courts haven't required
such detailed evidenced in the
past.However, Rupe conceded a-
ter the hearing that the justices
could reverse the lower court's
ruling and send it back or retrial
to compel the plaintis to proveindividual students were harmed
by the unding decisions.

DEROI Max Scherzerescaped a major jam in relie and
the Detroit igers helped by
two ans who reached out to try to
reel in Victor Martinez's disputedhome run rallied past the Oak-
land Athletics 8-6 on uesday to
orce a decisive h game in their
AL division series.
Playing catch-up most o the way,the igers tied it rst with Jhonny
Peralta's three-run homer in the
h inning and then on Martinez's
solo shot in the seventh. A coupleo ans attempted to catch Marti-
nez's drive and at least one o them
bobbled the ball as he reached over
the railing above the wall pre-
venting right elder Josh Reddickrom having any chance at a leap-
ing grab. Te umpires upheld the
home run aer a replay review.
Scherzer, making his rst relieappearance since the 2011 post-
season, had already given up a r un
in the seventh. With the igers
ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a
double to start the eighth, but aeran intentional walk to load the
bases, manager Jim Leyland le his
21-game winner on the mound.
Detroit, which had no hitsthrough the rst our innings,
added three runs in the eighth on
a wild pitch and a two-run double
by Omar Inante that made it 8-4.
Oakland hasn't announced astarter or Game 5. It is Bartolo
Colon's turn in the rotation, but
rookie Sonny Gray could also
come back on normal rest aer abrilliant perormance in Game 2.
Crisp had our hits and three
runs or the A's, who led 3-0and 4-3 but couldn't close out
the deending American League
champions. Te Oakland bullpen
hadn't allowed a run all series untiluesday.
Aer Crisp put the A's ahead 4-3
with an RBI single o Scherzer
in the seventh, Martinez lied a
fy to right against reliever SeanDoolittle.
But it was a close call one
that brought back memories o
Derek Jeter's an-aided homeragainst Baltimore in the 1996 AL
championship series at Yankee
Stadium. Umpires le the eld orthe review and when they returned
the call was upheld.
Peralta ollowed with a double,
and Jackson who was 1 or 14with 10 strikeouts in the series to
that point managed a bro-
ken-bat single to put the igers
ahead 5-4.
It appeared Detroit was in bigtrouble in the eighth, but Scherzer
was able to protect the one-run
lead and the igers eventually
added to it.

At uesdays press conerence,
Kansas ootball coach Charlie Weisocused on the depth chart. He
addressed issues with the running
game, the oensive line and, o
course, what he thinks about theteams upcoming oe, the CU
Horned Frogs.
Facing TCUWeis said the Horned Frogs have
one o the best deenses that his
Kansas squad will ace all season.
What makes the CU deense sogood? Te team is known or its
physical play. CU doesnt make a
lot o mistakes and it never tries to
win with schemes and conusion
it simply overpowers its oppo-
nents. Weis also talked about hisplan or attacking CUs deense,
saying that Kansas was going to
look to throw a ew long balls,
but they will make sure not to getcaught up chasing the home runs.
Additionally, he said that the
mental errors the oensive line
made last Saturday against exasech would hopeully be taken
care o.
Line strugglesTe oensive line was the second
most stressed issue at the press
conerence because o a shake up
in who is playing where. While
the line is made up o the same
members, they have once againbeen switched around in search
o a winning combination kind
o like a game o musical chairs.
Te guards stayed the same, butjunior Pat Lewandowski, who was
at center, is now playing le tackle.
Lewandowski played at le tackle
or the majority o the spring prac-tice session with success, so Weis is
hoping to replicate those results.
Since Lewandowski shied to
le tackle, ormer le tackle senior
Aslam Sterling slid over to righttackle. Filling Lewandowskis void
le at center is senior Gavin How-
ard. Weis talked about how the
center position has been holding
us hostage this season, and thatits one o the hardest positions to
play on the eld because you have
to ocus on not only snapping the
ball, but getting ready to blocksomeone the second you snap
the ball. Its hard to ocus on both
the exchange and the block at the
same time, which has led to a ewexchanges that Weis said looked
like me snapping, and I was never
very good.
Back to the groundWeis hopes that the changes on
the oensive line will jump-start
the lackluster running game that
just lost a big piece in ony Pier-
son. Brandon Bourbon will jumpright into the role that was vacated
when Pierson went down with a
concussion against exas ech.
Te good news is that Weis is verycondent Pierson will return to
the backeld beore the end o the
season, but the team will make
sure to err on the side o caution.Weis also said that Bourbon is
up to the challenge o carrying a
bigger load, especially with the
help o James Sims and the rest o
the running back core.
Next chanceOverall, it seemed that coach
Weis couldnt stress enough that
the rst quarter o the exas ech
game should oer a little bit ohope. Weis said hed be more
worried i the rst quarter hadnt
happened the way it did, i Kansas
came out and was dominated theentire game. He said the players
are ready to get out there and
hopeully prove that they can play
with and win against high
caliber teams.

Aer the win over Baylor on
Saturday, Oct. 5, the Jayhawks
(13-3) will try to continue their
nine-game winning streak and un-deeated conerence season tonight
against Oklahoma (14-3) at the
Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
Senior setter Erin McNortonhad an impressive perormance
with 53 assists against the Baylor
Bears. Te Jayhawks beat the Bears
25-16, 23-25, 25-22, 25-17 to stayperect in the Big 12.
McNorton, who is part o the
2013 preseason All-Big 12 team,
has been the Jayhawks setter or
two successul se asons now.
Te Jayhawks run a 5-1 oense,which means the oense runs
around one setter on the oor,
compared to a 6-2 oense, which
is an oense with two setters.With this in mind, its impressive
how much pressure and inuence
McNorton holds in the Jayhawk
oense as the only setter on the
oor. McNorton touches the ballat every point during the game.
McNorton is a huge part o the
Jayhawks 5-1 oense, which leads
the Big 12 with an average o 13.48assists per game. When McNorton
perorms well, the Jayhawk oense
perorms well.
Early this season, McNorton
had a 63-assist game against
Bowling Green University. Herperormance was her second
highest number o assists in one
match. Last season, McNorton
had her career high in total assistsper game: an impressive 67-assist
game against Creighton University
in fve sets.
Te Jayhawks undeeated coner-
ence season is because o McNor-tons sets. She leads the Big 12 with
760 assists or an average o 12.26
per game. McNortons number is
223 higher than Iowa States JenelleHudson, who is second in the Big
12 with 537 assists.
Last night McNorton averaged
11 assists per game, though shes
shown improvement with an av-
erage o one more assist per gamethis season. With 14 games le in
the season, McNorton is looking
to surpass her total o 1,443 assists
last season and shes more thanhalway there.
McNorton will try to add to her
total tonight against Oklahoma,
which ranks No. 8 in the Big 12
or assists allowed. Oklahoma hasallowed 774 assists this season.
Last season, the
