This Sunday will mark the tenthanniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.That fateful day on which theTwin Towers of the World TradeCenter in New York City wereattacked by terrorists is still im-printed on the hearts and mindsof the American people who borewitness to its tragedy and the last-ing consequences.

The Robert J. Dole Institute ofPolitics will host a commemora-tion ceremony, organized by thegroup Interfaith, to remember thevicti ms and heroes of 9/11. JaneTedder, a resident of Lawrence

who was at the World Trade Cen-ter in New York City at the timeof the attacks, will speak abouther experience 10 years ago andthe impact it has left on her to thisday.

Kansas StateRepresentativeand associatedirector of civicengagement andoutreach at theDole Institute

Barbara Bal-lard commentedon what can belearned and taken away from thetragedy..

Its essential that we keep inmind those who were killed, Bal-lard said. Its important that wenot let their deaths be in vain.That we use this as a reminderto make sure we work on peace,to work on democracy, security.That was being threatened. We

have to know what role each oneof us plays in our country and to

make sure we contribute.Though many would still have

been in elementary school at thetime, University of Kansas stu-dents still recognize the need toremember the events of 9/11.

I think its a good time for usto recall what all we lost, saidJuli Barker, a freshman from LasVegas, Nev. We need to be ableto look back at how things wereand realize just how different theworld is now. Way back when, be-fore it happened, things were somuch simpler. Everything seemeda little safer, and I think its impor-tant to look back and think of howone action can change everythingand to try and value what you do

based on how you will affect otherpeople.

The Dole Institute, located onWest Campus, is a prime loca-tion for the 9/11 commemoration

to be held. Thebuildings Sept.11 memorial cur-rently showcaseswhat is believedto be the largestdepiction of anAmerican flag

on a stained glasswindow in theworld. Two ten-

foot steel columns, retrieved fromthe remains of the Twin Towers,were placed on either side of theflag at the end of Hansen Hall.

The 9/11 commemoration cere-mony will begin at 4 p.m. on Sun-day. There will be a candlelightremembrance that evening at 7:30

p.m. around Memorial Drive.

Student Senate holds frst committee meetingsCampus

Te rst Student Senate Com-

mittee meetings o the 2011-2012academic year took place Sept. 7.

Members learned about parliamen-tary procedures and began voting on

legislation.Te Student Senate is required to ll

20 percent o seats on various boardsand committees across campus. o

ulll this requirement, Student Senatebreaks into our committee categories:students rights, nance, multicultural

aairs and university aairs.Committee meetings are utilizing

electronic clicker systems to recordattendance this year. Tere will be a

click-in question at the beginning andend o each committee meeting. GabeBliss, student body vice president, ex-

plained the importance o committeebeing timely.

You have tobe here the whole

time, this systemensures that, Bliss

said. I you missone by coming in

late, you will becounted or halattendance. For

committee members,three absences rom a committee

meeting will result in a consultationwith executive secretary Alek Joyce.

Te rst meeting aer three absences,a member only has speaking rights

and cannot regain their voting rightsuntil the second meeting.

A bill must be passed in two com-

mittees beore it goes through to ullsenate. I approved there, it goes onto

the president to sign. I the presidentdoesnt sign a bill passed by ull senate

within 10 academic days, the bill willbecome active on its own. Te more

heated debates traditionally take placein the nance and students rights

committees.

Finance committee

Te nance committee oversees

student ees and the allocation o thoseees to student groups on campus.

Anything with a dollar sign comesthrough us, said Josh Dean, the -

nance chairman and ormer vicepresidential running mate or RenewKU coalition.

Te nance committee had 18 bills

on the agenda or the rst meetingcovering the unding o everythingrom KU Environs to the Arican

Drum Ensemble Club. Dean said

that the amount o unding requeststhe nance committee receives varies

rom week to week based on whateverpeople submit.

New student groups must meet

the ollowing requirements to receiveunding rom Student Senate:

n open to all University students

n have additional club members

outside o the executive sta (the pres-ident, vice president and treasurer)

n be registered in the Student In-volvement and Leadership Center.

I any student group meets theserequirements, they are immediatelyeligible or $200 or basic operat-

ing costs without needing to speciyunding needs.

Teres no reason nance needs tobe a scary gauntlet, Dean said. It can

be a airly straightorward process.

StudentS RightS committee

Te students rights committee

passed all our bills on its agenda,including a bill about the court o ap-

peals. Since its creation in 2008, thecourt o appeals has been a contested

issue in Student Senate.Previous presidents Mason Heil-

man and Michael Wade Smith re-used to appoint a chie justice to

the court, leaving it unbalanced withonly our justices. Smith attempted todisband the court altogether but was

denied.Billy McCroy, a court o appeals

justice since the groups creation, satin as a representative o the court in

the student rights committee.We are the very important checks

and balances or Student Senate, Mc-Croy said, Tese changes will restorethe ull power o the original intent o

this court.Student rights chair Aaron Harris

and co-author o the bill to amendstudent rules and regulations ar-

ticle our, student court o appeals,eels that the court hasnt had its ull

strength since its initial creation. Har-ris said that his goal is to make the

court more transparent and heard.We are orcing this issue now,

Harris said. Student execs and jus-

tices are going to have to get along.Te court o appeals has the nal

say on interpretation o rules andregulations in judicial reviews. Other

tasks o the court o appeals includeputting student groups who are ound

guilty o abusing Student Senateunding on probation, giving writtenwarnings to executive ofcers not ul-

lling their duties and in certain cases

can remove executive ofcers romtheir positions.

Te court cant do anything with-out a complaint led however, Har-ris said. Tey cannot call their own

hearings.I the bill is passed in ull Senate,

student body president Libby John-son has until Oct. 24 to appoint a

chie justice or else the court o ap-peals will be able to put in their own

nomination.

In the past ew years since its cre-ation, the court o appeals couldnt

ully do its job, Harris said. I wantthe court to have its ull strength andthat means lling all o the seats.

Eligibility requirements or a courto appeals justice are limited to anyone

who has spent one year as a ull timestudent and will be a student during

their term as a court o appeals jus-tice. Neither candidates or the spring

Student Senate general elections or

students who have served as a senatoror executive ofcer on the previous

years Senate are eligible.Anyone who has seen a student

senate election knows they can be

contentious, Harris said. Everyonedeserves a air hearing without bias or

animosity.

A school or slackers? Tat is what

an article in the New York imes

claimed regarding undergraduate

business majors. Collaborating with

Te Chronicle o Higher Education,Te imes explored the apparent

lowering o standards in American

business schools and the lack o

eort on students parts.

According to the article, Te

Deault Major Skating Trough

B-school, i a school alls below

Business Weeklys top 50 rank-

ing, there should be anxiety about

student apathy.

Business majors spend less time

preparing or class than do students

in any other broad eld, ac cording

to the most recent National Survey

o Student Engagement, the article

stated.

But does this apply to the Univer-

sity o Kansas, which stands at No.

108 on Business Weeklys 2011 list?

Many in the Kansas School o Busi-

ness would argue no.

oni Di xon, communications

director or Kansas School o

Business, said the school stands out

rom those in the article because othe selectivity o admissions.

We turn away hal the students

who apply because our classes are

small and our school is small and

we have more applicants than we

can take, Dixon said. You have to

work or it.

While Te imes article cited

large student-aculty ratios as one

o the issues in undergraduate busi-

ness programs, Dixon said a small

ratio is what makes the dierence

or Kansas.

Weve kept it a small school so

students have interaction with ac-

ulty members, get to know them,

Dixon said. Tose kinds o things

help add stringency to the courses.

Te School o Business has other

saeguards that keep it rom all-

ing victim to the same issues as

the schools in the article. Various

clubs and activities and a balance

o group and individual work have

combined to help business studentsget hands-on experience and stand

out to employers.

Employers give us eedback

and tell us theyve ound that our

students are very good, Dixon said.

Tey can stand up to any competi-

tion and theyre great hires.

Students o the business school

come down on both sides o the

argument.Te admission requirements

are pretty hey and the classes

that I have taken so ar are pretty

intensive, said Brian Kuzarah, a

sophomore rom Colorado Springs,

Colo., who will soon apply to the

business school. But, I eel like its

an over-encompassing major that

everyone can use.

Nick Patton, a sophomore rom

Olathe who gained early admission

to the Business School his reshman

year, disagreed.

I dont think Ive studied or

more than an hour or any exam

or quiz or anything, Patton said.

Its not difcult. I think business is

pretty standard. Patton thinks that

business is learned by doing it. Its a

trial-by-re basis.

Tere have been arguments

among business schools across the

United States as to whether having

an undergraduate business major is

even wise. Te imes article quotedSt. Johns Fellow J. David Hunger as

debating i a liberal arts under-

graduate degree program would be

more benecial or the writing and

speaking skills employers look or.

Te University o Kansas School

o Business addresses this issue

by requiring students to complete

a certain number o liberal arts

credits.

Teyve already had the two

years o liberal arts education

beore they come to the Business

School, Dixon said. Tey cant

enter the Business School until

theyre juniors.

Te School o Business ensures

that even reshmen like Patton,

whose exceptional records allow

or early admission, have two years

o those liberal arts classes beore

starting their business courses.

Tere is a level o excitement

or the uture o the school with

the appointment o the new dean,a graduate o the school, Neeli

Bendapudi.

Austin Falley, communications

coordinator or the school, views

Bendapudis career as a testa-

ment to the quality o the business

program.

She can be put up against any

Ivy Leaguer anywhere around the

world and shes shown that, Falleysaid. I think a lot o that has to do

with the quality o education you

get here.

However, Bendapudis success

also shows that its necessary or

undergraduates to take advantage

o the opportunities they are o-

ered.

Teres a ver y entrepreneurial

spirit that you are really required

to have, especially in business

education, Falley said. I think

that is an example o the people we

have studying here at the School o

Business.

our 9/11 identity: tlerance and unity


Oopinion


Despite not having attendeda single Kansas ootballgame in three years, I

happen to know a thing or twoabout game days.

Game days in Lawrence arequite the spectacle. I you havenever experienced a game day, I

strongly recommend you escapethe rock under which youve beenhiding. Youll thank me when youdo; I suggest via witter.

Everybody has their own ideao what a game day is all about.Whether they wait in line to makesure theyre close enough to see thesweat dripping rom the visiting play-ers or simply attend a tailgate party,students love their game days.

he tailgates attract giant crowds.Do not assume or a second that

you will attend just another houseparty. From what I have witnessed,a tailgate is a day-long house partyon steroids. Not to worry, your partyshould not be tested or perormanceenhancers. Just be sure to act respon-sibly and pace yoursel.

Drinking games, social interactionand general debauchery are three othe most common activities Ive seenat tailgates. here is rarely a timewhen a tailgate isnt a blast. Even inthe rain, people still ind a way tomake do and enjoy themselves. Ater

all, game day parties are limited. Besure to take advantage.

Game days are also a great oppor-

tunity or students to have aleisurely day with their amilies.Parents, especially alumni, seem torevel in the opportunity to spend agame day with their child. It is alsoa time when you may be able tosee a side o your parents that younever have. Many parents acceptthe act that once youre in college,

you are able to party i youd like. Iyoure so lucky, then perhaps youmay be able to bond with your par-ents over drinks rather than at theamily dinner table.

Dont let the drinking overwhelmyou, though. Everybody knows thereal reason or game day estivi-ties is to show your school spiritor the squad. As I said beore, Ihavent been to a game in threeyears. However, I would not con-sider mysel out o the ordinary.

Realistically, there is not enoughseating in beloved MemorialStadium to it every student. As a

result, I sellessly orgo my opportu-nity to attend games so those whoare dying to go are able to do so.Just say hi to urner or me.

So whether you are in the rontrow screaming obscenities everykicko or passed out on a couchon the porch o your best riends

house, hopeully you wont overlookthe next game day. Perhaps youllbecome part o the best beer dartsduo to ever live. Perhaps youll indout something new about your

parents. Maybe youll enjoy ourquarters o ootball and unnel cake.Regardless o what loats your boat,make sure you dont overlook gamedays this ootball season. Ater all,you cant tailgate outside o AllenFieldhouse.

As current students, ourgeneration came o age ina post-9/11 world.

Some o us remember wherewe were and what we were doingduring the Sept. 11 attack, somedont want to remember, and somecouldnt care less about it. But itsa act that the attack has had atremendous impact on each o ourlives and utures.

Te vicious attack hit the World

rade Center towers and Pentagon,killing around 3,000 people in2001, with another plane crashingin a eld in Pennsylvania beore itcould reach its intended target. Teattack showed us and the rest othe world that not even Americancitizens are completely sae romthe dark side o a global society.

Te attack also sparked changein this nations attitude, agenda

and values. In the aermath o9/11, questions and assumptionsabout Islam and Middle-Easternculture led to increased curiosity omany diferent cultures. Americansstarted opening their minds moreto diferent ideas. We realized wewerent at the top o the world any-more, and that we needed to startexpanding our knowledge aboutother people.

A perect example o this isUniversity o Kansas proessors

response to the attacks. In 2002,academic departments collabo-rated to create the Humanities andWestern Civilization Program.Te University staf recognized aneed to promote understanding,acceptance and tolerance or worldreligions and cultures. oday, theclasses teach basic concepts ounderstanding diferent points oview.

From the rubble o Ground Zero,and the ensuing wars in Aghani-stan and Iraq, a new America wasborn and we are at the center o it.We are the generation that grew upwith a clear understanding o whathappened on 9/11, its global im-pact, and how our nations responseafected the world.

Te attack happened whilemost o us were in elementary ormiddle school. Tis event gave ourgeneration an identity much

like President John F. Kennedysassassination gave to the previousgenerations. We grew up on toler-ance and mutual understandingas an antithesis to the closed viewo terrorism. We witnessed thepositives and negatives o our na-tions response to the attack. We areunited by a common event.

Very soon, we will lead thisworld.

Leaders rom older generationshave tried their best to honor9/11 victims by winning wars. Butaer 10 years, theres still deathand dangerous terrorist activitythreatening our nation. August wasthe deadliest month or U.S. armedorces in Aghanistan. Osama binLaden is dead, yet terror levels arestill increasing.

Te best way our generation canhonor those who died in an act omisunderstanding and hate is to

spread the unique, positive valuesweve realized while growing upaer this tragedy.

We can shape this world to runon mutual understanding, ratherthan greed and hate. Its up to us torid this world o intolerance.

Kansas willace strongNIU oense

aking on the underdog roleisnt so bad i you use it to your

advantage.Kansas can kiss its days as a a-

vorite goodbye. Northern Illinoisis not your typical small school

ootball team coming into Memo-rial Stadium on Saturday, and theodds set in Las Vegas prove it.

Te Jayhawks opened as a sev-en-point underdog against the

Huskies, a team that is avored towin the Mid-Atlantic Conerence.

Being projected to lose is notnecessarily a bad thing or the Jay-hawks, as they have taken the lack

o respect to the practice eld.Kansas is always the under-

dog, so its nothing new, seniorlinebacker Steven Johnson said.

When we go out to practice,well be able to go out and use it

as motivation and really use it tobe able to push ourselves when weget ti red.

Aer this Saturday, the Jay-hawks only remaining non-con-

erence game will be in Atlantaagainst Georgia ech. Once thats

done, Big 12 play starts and asKansas was picked to nish last in

the conerence, it will be the un-derdog rom here on out.

When senior center Jeremiah

Hatch notied sophomore quar-terback Jordan Webb o its un-

derdog status to the Huskies, theydidnt let it get them down. In act,

it did the opposite.Hatch was the one who told

me, and he was like I like it, Ill

play the underdog role, Webbsaid. We came into last week

with people saying we might loseagainst McNeese, so it doesnt re-

ally matter, I guess.Its worked beore as Kansas

showed the re that can be ignited

rom being disrespected nationallyin the media last season.

No one believed Kansas wouldbeat No. 16 Georgia ech aer

sufering the embarrassing sea-son opener to North Dakota State.

While the Yellow Jackets endedup being vastly overrated, Kansasresponded to the lack o respect

by winning the game and sendingthe students scrambling onto the

In a season sure to have manygrowing pains, the most pain-ul may come in the inexperi-

enced Jayhawks secondary.Te young unit was more than

burned last Saturday againstMcNeese State. It was roasted,scorched and sauted, giving upan unacceptable 325 passing yardsto quarterback Cody Stroud andhis backup Riley Dodge. Overall,McNeese State quarterbacks were31-or-41 on passing attempts withtwo touchdowns and no intercep-tions.

Stroud, who nished 22-or-27with 218 yards passing, notched an81.5 percent completion percentage.Tat is one o the highest marks inMcNeese State history. He twice com-pleted eight consecutive passes.

Ultimately, the Kansas ofensebailed out the deense by scoring 42points. But even when Kansas went

with a 55-to-10 run-to-pass ratio,McNeese State still dominated thetime o possession, 34:47 to 25:13.

One o the biggest challenges themembers o the Kansas second-ary ace is their unamiliarity withtheir positions. wo o the starterson deense, senior cornerback IsiahBareld and junior saety BradleyMcDougald, are converted widereceivers. Tat experience at wideoutmight help give the two perspectiveeventually, but that will serve as noconsolation to jaded Kansas ansi the secondary continues to blow

coverage as they did last week.It is tough to criticize coach urner

Gill or converting McDougald, who

some considered the teams best widereceiver heading into last season,while simultaneously praising him ora similar decision. In a move that waswidely panned at the time, Gill decid-ed to convert junior oben Opurumrom running back to deensive endprior to the 2010 season. Opurumblossomed into a critical asset on de-ense by years end, even outperorm-ing senior Jake Laptad at the position.Opurum picked up where he le oflast season, recording a sack and 11tackles against McNeese State.

Moving Opurum also opened thedoor or James Sims, now a sopho-more, to take control o the Kansasground game. Like Opurum, Sims ledthe team in rushing in his rst season.He nished last Saturdays game with104 yards rushing and a touchdown.

Perhaps Gill sees something inMcDougald that screams shutdownsaety. Or maybe converting him

opened a door or reshman JaCoreyShepherd, who wowed ans againstMcNeese State with three receptions

or 107 yards and two touchdowns.Whatever the case may be, therewill be no room or error against theprecise passing attack o the NorthernIllinois Huskies.

omorrow against Northern Illinois(1-0), there will be no bailouts. TeHuskies mauled their rst opponentArmy en route to a 49-26 victory.Quarterback Chandler Harnish threwonly 19 passes, but he made the mosto each. He nished with ve touch-downs to ve diferent receivers.

Te Kansas secondarys per-ormance tomorrow will be veryimportant in projecting this teamsprospects or the rest o the season. Isthere potential here, or just potentialor disaster?

I the underdog Jayhawks pull ofthe upset at home tomorrow, Gillmay make another important conver-sion: his skeptical anbase.

Te Kansas Jayhawks efectivelyshut down the McNeese State rush-ing attack in their season opener,allowing the Cowboys to averagejust 2.8 yards per carry.

Northern Illinois, the Jayhawksweek two opponent, represents asteep jump in the level o competi-tion, as the Jayhawks will ace anofense that shredded Army or 49

points and 509 yards last weekend.Teyre a great team, they have a

great quarterback, and I watched thelm and they have a couple o greatrunning backs too, senior lineback-er Steven Johnson said. Were goingto have to bring our big boy pads tobe able to play.

Te Northern Illinois attack startswith senior quarterback ChandlerHarnish. Harnish threw or 195yards and ve touchdowns againstArmy. He also added 80 yards and

one touchdown on the ground.Its exciting or us, because were

expecting him to come at us, juniorlinebacker Malcolm Walker said.Its good or us knowing hes notlooking to slide. Since were a astdeense, there is no slowing us downknowing he is going to go out thereand play aggressive.

Just as impressive or the Huskieslast week was senior running backJasmin Hopkins who picked up 138yards on just 14 carries, averaging

The oense came in with a game plan to run the ball against

McNeese State and they executed that plan about as well

as possible. There was nothing the Cowboys deense could

do against the Kansas oense that averaged 5.5 yards a

carry and 6.9 yards per play. Jordan Webb showed o how

he improved this oseason, by completing 70 percent o his

passes and throwing the long ball with precision. The Huskies

deense will be the rst true test o the Kansas oense.

While the deensive line and linebackers had a decent perormance against

McNeese State, the secondary was absolutely torched. The Jayhawks allowed only

2.8 yards a carry or the Cowboys, who ran the ball 34 times. The secondary gave

up over 10 yards a completion, as th e Cowboys killed the Jayhawks with the screen

pass. Northern Illinois brings in a talented oense that put up more than 500

yards against Army. Kansas deense will either show that the McNeese State

perormance was just a fuke, or that it will be a long season or the Jayhawks

secondary.

Webb

This week is the rst true test or the

Jayhawks. They pounded McNeese State

with the run, allowing them to also pick

the Cowboys apart in the air. Northern Il-

linois won 11 games last year and nished

rst in the Mid-Atlantic Conerence. It will

bode well or Kansas, i they can come

away with a win over this well coached,

successul program.

Freshman running

back Tony Pierson:

Pierson entered

last weeks game

against McNeese

State as the ourth

string tailback. He

quickly changed

that Saturday,

running the ball ve times or 73 yards.

Pierson has the kind o speed that will

make an entire deense keep their eyes on

him, because he will burn them with the

big play. Look or Kansas to sporadically

use Pierson all game, sometimes as a

decoy, and mostly as a dangerously ast

running back.

Is the secondary really that bad?

It is, by no means, a good sign i your pass deense gets torched by

McNeese State. The Jayhawks gave up 325 yards in the air and orced

only 10 incompletions against a Cowboys team that was alternating

quarterbacks all game. Senior quarterback Chandler Harnish broke a 47year single season and career total oense record or the Huskies. Play

time is over i the Jayhawks were holding back against McNeese State,

because Northern Illinois passing game could potentially make them

In the Midwest, the University oKansas may have seemed sheltered

rom the tragedy unolding dur-

ing the East Coast terrorist attacks

o Sept. 11, but some University

alumni had irsthand experience.

he tragedy aected each one in adierent way.

I lost three riends that worked

or institutional investment irms

located in the World rade, DavidGriith said.

Griith, a 1986 graduate, was

home on the Upper East Side when

the planes struck the towers.

Neva Murphy, a 1985 gradu-

ate, worked at a Washington, D.C.,

development company. She said thememory o smoke rising at the

Pentagon rom her oice our miles

away will always be with her.

Even though I went to work

the next day, or the better part o

six weeks I became agitated any-time I heard sirens or ighter jets,

Murphy said.

Doug Glass, a 1995 graduate, had

been in Bualo, N.Y., working on a

project or IBM on Sept. 11, but hereturned to the city ater the attack.

His riend had planned a party or

that weekend prior to the attacks

and decided to have it anyway.

Ill never orget taking a subway

across the Manhattan Bridge to theparty in Brooklyn with the smoke

still rising rom the ires o the

rubble, Glass said.

Glass said the mood o the party

was ull o gloom and uncertainty.

he party wasnt the only wayGlass chose to ignore the calam-

ity. Sept. 11 did not stop Glass

or Griith rom lying. Just days

ater the attacks both men boarded

planes in New York.

Glass lew back to Bualo theollowing Monday, and Griith

lew to London or a previously

planned vacation.

I didnt think it was a big deal,

said Griith, who grew up in an Air

Force amily and loved lying. Icertainly didnt eel like I could let

terrorists change my travel plans.

For some,lying was

a way tocontinue a

normal lie

ater the

attacks.

I wasnt

araid olying. In a

small way, it

was an act

o deiance,

Glass said.

Al-Qaeda wanted to shut down theree world, and did or a ew days.

So lying was me telling them to go

to hell. Im not saying I handled it

better, just dierently.

While Glass and Griith bothchose to dey the terrorists as their

way o moving on, Murphy ound

comort in her home.

I had a beautiul view o the

National Cathedral rom every

window in my condo. Just seeing itlit up gave me comort that night,

Murphy said.

Bernard McCoy, 1979 graduate,

remembered many things about

Sept. 11 and the days ollowing, but

a ew moments especially stick out.

McCoy covered the tragedy

or WBNS-V, the CBS ailiatein Columbus, Ohio. He remem-

bers leaving Ohio and immediately

noticing the dierent atmosphere

landing in New York.

It was in the 80s and sunny

(when we let). It was still summer.But by the end o the week it was

cool and dark. It was all, McCoy

said. I guess it was just the dichot-

omy o the experience.

When the North ower o the

W o r l d r a d e

Center was

hit, he was

at home in

Ohio, get-ting his

kids ready

or school.

He and his

ph o t o g r a-

pher, ChrisH e d r i c k ,

were pre-

paring to leave or an assignment

upstate.

At the time, neither knew the

crash was an act o terrorism. heylearned o the second plane crash

during their drive north.

As the story unolded over the

radio, the magnitude o the situa-

tion began to sink in.About 60 or 70 miles north o

Columbus, we decided to call ournews director, McCoy said. A ew

minutes later he called back. Hetold us to turn right and go to New

York.

hey drove across Ohio,

Pennsylvania and New Jersey to

arrive at Liberty State Park, directly

across the Hudson rom Ground

Zero, just in time to broadcast

on the 11:00 p.m. news. McCoyremembers the scene coming into

Jersey City, N.J.

o the east it looked like a giant

cloud was enveloping the city,

McCoy said.

He said that as they came overa ridge into the river valley, they

could tell the cloud was actual-

ly smoke coming rom where the

rade Center once stood.

It was like a cauldron o a smol-dering volcano, he said.

he night ater the attacks,

McCoy and Hedrick went across

the Hudson to interview rescue

workers. McCoy said they took the

only subway running rom NewJersey to New York, but it was

basically vacant. On the way back

that night, McCoy can remember a

woman in their train car suddenly

bursting into tears.

hrough their experiences,McCoy and Griith both said that

the courage and compassion o

the citizens o New York made an

impression.

I guess what sticks with me evennow was the camaraderie o New

Yorkers in recovering and rebuild-

ing, Griith said.

He said he and several other

University alumni volunteered at a

restaurant that served Ground Zerorescue workers.

hey really came together to get

through the tragedy, McCoy said.

We began to witness this incred-

ible outpouring o people helping.

were living in this moment and it wasthis huge thing in history that we werea part o.

GI Bill gets complicated for vetsBoBBy [email protected]

The Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Improvement Act wasintended to simplify the application process for and delivery of the GIBills benefits, according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs web-site.

However, for the Universitys Office of Veteran Services, the new billonly further complicates its job, forcing some student veterans at theUniversity of Kansas to wait for their financial support.

Generally they would have already paid my tuition and given therefund by now, said Jake Robinson, senior from Oberlin and an Army

veteran of the war in Iraq.The bill, signed into law by President Obama in January 2010,amends the original post-9/11 GI Bill and expands the pool of eligiblerecipients. The bill now allows for National Guard members, students ofnon-college degree programs and those involved in on-the-job trainingto receive benefits.

Additionally, the bill prorates a students GI Bill benefits according toany additional grants or scholarships designated for tuition and fees.

While the bill is more inclusive, its conditions are troublesome for bothstudents and the Universitys Office of Veteran Services, according toBetty Colbert, the Universitys Veteran Affairs certifying official.

It has not gotten better its gotten worse, Colbert said.Colbert said that because of the bills stipulations she

must review her work with other University offices,such as the advising center, which lengthensthe amount of time to process each stu-dents application.

She said that before the bills changesa students application would take about30 to 45 minutes to process, but nowthe procedure can take up to twohours.

And for some of the bills 463beneficiaries at the University,Colbert said, the added process-ing time can add up to signifi-cant delays.

It gets so convoluted, Colbertsaid.

Felix Zacharias, a graduate studentfrom Wichita and Marine veteran ofthe war in Iraq, said hes concernedwith the new bills delays.

Its irritating for me personally,Zacharias said. That my fellowveterans are getting mistreated intentionally or not.

While some veterans feel theVA could improve its handlingof the bill, others are pleased thatmore people can benefit from itschanges.

Its a little bit of a hassle,Robinson said. But its a small priceto pay to make sure that a lot of peo-ple that wouldnt have got the benefitsbefore are going to get them.

Underdog | 9 offense | 9eld.

Te Jayhawkstook what was be-

ing said in the media and used it as motiva-tion.

Even though most players wont ess up

to being personally bothered by predictionsand chatter about the team, reshman saety

Keeston erry didnt shy away rom admit-ting that it bothers them.

We all kind o take it personal, errysaid. All we can do is not listen to what

people say, go out, play hard and win thegame.

Not only is it rare or a non Bowl Cham-

pionship Series (BCS) qualiying team to bethe avorite when playing a school in a big-

ger conerence, its even more rare or thatsmaller school to be avored on the road.

Teres no question that Northern Illinoisis a quality team. It nished 11-3 last sea-

son and won its conerence. Its quarterbackbroke single season and career total yards

records that had lasted or 47 years.And thats what matters to Kansas, not

the predictions and not the underdog talk.What does matter is what transpires on theeld or 60 minutes o playing time Satur-

day.No matter what happens, i were the

underdog or picked to win by 27, were go-ing to go out there and play our hardest,

sophomore saety yler Patmon said.

Edited by Sarah Champ

Te Jayhawksstruggled to contain theMcNeese State pass-

ing attack, allowing 325 yards. Now they aceHarnish, who holds the record or most yardso total ofense in Northern Illinois history.

It was just the rst game jitters, nally get-ting back into play. I think we should be nethis week, reshman saety Keeston erry said.

Against Army, Harnish spread the ballaround, throwing touchdowns to ve diferentreceivers, including a 58-yard touchdown passto junior running back Jamal Wombel.

Tat should be especially concerning toKansas, as McNeese State junior running backChamplain Babin led the Cowboys with 108yards receiving against the Jayhawks.

Right now I eel like our mind is onscreens. We kind o got beat on a lot o screens

last game and I know NIU took a screen to thehouse against Army. Just ocus on that, dontoverdo it, because I know we can deend thescreen, we just got into a bad position againstMcNeese, Johnson said.

Despite winning their rst game, Kansas

will enter their contest with Northern Illinoisat Memorial Stadium as a seven point under-dog.

I try not to think about that, I just gogame by game. Our strength coach calls it aone game season. Alright we had a seasonlast week and were one and zero. Alright wehave a season this week, lets go one and zero,Johnson said.

On the verge o eclipsing lastyears win total o six, the soccerteam will travel to West Laayette,Ind., this weekend to play in theBoilermaker Challenge today andSunday.

Teir rst matchup o the week-end will be against the DaytonFlyers who recently dropped out othe op 25 polls.

Although the Flyers are anunamiliar opponent, the Jayhawks(5-1) are more ocused on interiordevelopment.

I think the main ocus is us andhow we play as a group, juniormidelder Amy Grow said. I thinkwe just need toput condence inour abilities andlet it play out romthere.

Te coaching sta

highlighted theteams physicalityand ocus againstlast weeks oppo-nents.

Fortunately or the Jayhawks, theyroster players such as Madi Hilliswho compete with a mean streak.

Hillis aggressiveness helped herteam deeat South Dakota State lastSunday.

Tat intensity can work againsther as well, as she received a yellowcard during the 64th minute o thematch.

It just takes one person makinga good tackle and our momentumcan start going that way, said Hillis.

As or the rest o the team, theyrealize that perorming physicallyis something to ocus on during

practice.I think a lot o that comes rom

working hard during the game,Grow said. Its just a mentality thatwe need to improve and thats beingaddressed this week in practicebecause we denitely hit a slump

last weekend.Another

quality Kansascontinues tobenet rom isthe ability to

come rom be-hind in games.Four out o the

ve wins thisseason came

afer the team ell behind by a goal.It would be nice i we could elim-

inate giving up that goal because we

havent given up that many goals,but we havent had a shutout either,coach Mark Francis said.

Solidiying that rst clean sheetstarts with shoring up the backline. While the newcomers on theront line have quickly adapted tothe college level, Francis knows itsnot a seamless transition or thedeenders.

Oensively some o the goalsweve been scoring is a good indi-vidual play by one kid, but in the

back thats not the way it works,Francis said. Tey need to all be inunison and all be together, so thatpart takes longer to get togetherusually.

Still Kansas is not worried aboutthe other components o its gamecoming together. Te Jayhawksknow the teams supplementaryabilities will help them continue topush orward.

Te rst game o the weekend isagainst Dayton at 4 p.m. on Friday

night. Te tournament nishes upon Sunday at 10 a.m. as Kansasplays the winner o Fridays gamebetween Purdue and Cal StateNorthridge.

SportS

After home wins, volleyball hits the road

The Kansas volleyball team

credited an electric home environ-

ment for their performance last

week at the Jayhawk Invitational.

Theyll have to hold on to that

feeling because today marks the

beginning of one of the longest

road trips in program history.The Jayhawks (6-0) will face

back-to-back ranked teams this

weekend as part of the Northern

Iowa Invitational in Cedar Falls,

Iowa.

The action begins tonight

against the host school, No. 15

Northern Iowa (7-0), at 7 p.m. at

the McLeod Cen-

ter. Tomorrow,

the Jayhawks will

face Big 10 pow-

erhouse No. 6

Minnesota (3-1)

at 10 a.m. before

wrapping up play

for the weekend

against St. Louis

(3-1).

This is our weekend to really

garner some attention, said coach

Ray Bechard. Weve played some

competitive teams, but we havent

played ranked teams yet. This will

be the weekend for us to have thatopportunity.

Bechards squad will go almost a

full month without a home game,

returning to action at the Horejsi

Family Athletics Center on Sept.

28 against No. 17 Iowa State. The

long layoff surprised even Bechard.

I didnt realize we werent home

for that long, Bechard said. That

will make us road tested I guess,

huh?

There are only two losses col-lectively among the four teams at

this weekends invitational. Min-

nesota turned heads last weekend

by sweeping Texas in consecutive

games.

Sophomore libero Brianne

Riley said the team is looking at

this weekend as an opportunity to

garner national

attention and

perhaps a ranking

of their own.

We try not tolet the rankings

scare us, but we

try to use it as

motivation, Riley

said. I think as a

team we know we

can play with them. Its just a mat-

ter of going out there, and weve

got to be on.

The lengthy layoff between in-

vitati onals has given Bechard time

to tweak problem areas, but he said

it could also pose a problem if it

hurts the teams momentum.

Its the time of season where we

as coaches think its great to have

long gaps between matches, but

the players probably would like

to play more often, Bechard said.

But that will come when league

play starts.

Northern Iowa defeated Kansas

last year in five sets in Lawrence,

a critical loss to an e ventualtop-seeded team. A win against

Northern Iowa could have put the

Jayhawks into the NCAA Tourna-

ment discussion.

Sophomore setter Kara Wehrs

said she is looking forward to

turning the tables on the Panthers

and handing them a loss on their

home court.

Our record doesnt prove any-

thing. That was the past, Wehrs

said. We have to look forward to

the future. Were going to showyou that we should belong with

those teams. Were not going to

settle for anything less.

Jackson mentally overcomes knee injuryKathleen [email protected]

tanIa Jackson

rwrd

Te rst time sophomore or-

ward ania Jackson played without

a knee brace was an accident. Te

Kansas womens basketball player

didnt realize she was playing

without it until she was alerted

by a teammate during a pick-up

game this summer and Jackson

was shocked. She rushed to put it

back on and return to the saety

and assurance that the brace o-

ered. Similar instances occurred at

practices aer that beore she was

condent enough to lose the brace

on purpose.

Now, three years aer tearing her

ACL while playing

or Lawrence High

School, Jackson is

ready to start this

season with new

condence and

reedom.For me it was

a mental thing, it

was never physical, Jackson said.

Assistant coac h ory Verdi

helped Jackson through her rst

season playing at Kansas. He

noticed the mental strain o the

injury.

In the back o your mind, you

are still thinking about that injury

and I think she was battling that

more than anything and then to-

ward the end she stopped thinking

about the injury, Verdi said. Aer

you stop thinking about that, you

can start ocusing on other things.

Once she was able to let go o

the physical brace, she broke down

the gurative mental brace that

had been holding her back. Jack-son did this by letting go, releasing

control and ocusing on playing

her best game.

I realized that i it tears again,

it tears again, I put it all in Gods

hands, Jackson said.

Since Jackson

arrived on campus

in the summer o

2009, she has been

working with the

strength and con-

ditioning staf onproper techniques

to avoid uture

injury.

Last year I was pretty timid

because my knee was always in my

head, but I do not think about it

now and I think that helps a lot,

Jackson said.

Tis summer she commit-

ted time to the weight room and

worked on getting more aggressive

as a post player.

Last season, Jackson earned 11

starts and played in all but one

game as the Jayhawks went to the

second round o the Womens

National Invitation ournament

(NI). She averaged 4.4 points and

3 rebounds per game while shoot-

ing 42.3 percent rom the eld.

As a orward, Jackson can alsoshoot three pointers which helps to

spread the deense.

At the end o her rst season

with the Jayhawks, Jackson was

named the Most Improved Player.

She came back strong, senior

orward Aishah Sutherland said.

She improved her overall game,

posting up, running, and being

communicative.

Jackson was surprised by the

award, but said it was a major

honor especially coming of herinjury.

It signies the hard work I have

put in, Jackson said. It is one

piece to the puzzle o my career,

but I am eager to do more.

Jackson is working with Verdi

on getting tougher and more ag-

gressive in the post. She is also

working on bringing her game

back toward the basket by practic-

ing more ace up and post up

drills.

One other goal or Jackson is to

become a leader as a veteran o the

team. Because o her experience

watching rom the sidelines, Jack-

son prepared hersel as a vocal and

emotional leader o her high school

team and the role transerred to

Kansas.

I tried to be as loud as I could

and as encouraging as I could, it

transerred over because I sat out

my reshman year and that wasthe only way I knew how to help,

Jackson said.

Her communication transerred

to the court, where she leads the

pregame chant and is enthusiastic

and vocal throughout the game.

She does an unbelievable job o

communicating and that covers a

lot o mistakes, Verdi said. It getspeople where they need to be on

the court .

Sutherland sees the good efects

o this passion on and of the court.She gets people hyped, Suther-

land said. She makes us laugh.

Jackson is excited or the season

and says her knee eels good

though she still ices it aer practice

as a cautionary measure. She is

proud to play without the brace

and said it gave her new lie. She is

aster, stronger and more ready to

play this season than ever beore.
