CHARLOE, N.C. WhenBill Clinton takes the convention
stage in prime time Wednesday to
praise President Barack Obama, it
will be the most visible step on apath toward reconciliation or two
ormer rivals whose political or-
tunes are now inextricably linked.
Tat Obama would choosethe ormer president or such a
high-prole speaking spot and
that Clinton would accept seemed
unathomable in 2008, when thetwo clashed bitterly during the
Democratic nomination show-
down between Obama and Hil-
lary Rodham Clinton, the ormerpresidents wie. Even though
Hillary Clinton now serves as
Obamas secretary o state, resent-
ments between the current and
ormer presidents have been slowto ebb.
But now, with the Democratic
incumbent locked in a tight racewith Republican Mitt Romney,
Obama has ully embraced Clin-
ton as a political partner in hopes
o capturing the ormer presidentsuncanny knack or political sur-
vival against tough odds.
President Clinton has an eco-
nomic record second to none,Obama campaign manager Jim
Messina said at a brieng uesday
hosted by ABC News and Yahoo.
Hes a very credible messenger ...hes going to deliver a very com-
pelling speech.
Obama called Clinton in July
and asked him to give the speechthat would place the presidents
name in nomination. Clinton ac-
cepted enthusiastically, aides to
both men said.I the arrangement seems like a
orced marriage, its also a mutu-
ally benecial pairing that brings
Clinton back to the national po-litical oreront and lends Obama
the validation o the Democratic
Partys most popular elder states-
man.With the economic recovery
still tepid and unemployment
stubbornly high, Obama cam-
paign ocials are eager to portraythe presidents economic policies
as mirroring those o his Demo-
cratic predecessor. Many votersremember Clintons tenure as a
period o prosperity. Te econo-
my added some 22 million newjobs during his two terms in theWhite House rom January 1993
to the start o 2001 and Clinton
lef oce with a balanced ederal
budget and surplus.But its not a one-way proposi-
tion, as Clinton needs an Obama
win in November to preserve his
own legacy.
From President Clintons per-spective, i Romney were elected
hed repeal everything Clinton
ever did and everything he wants
to advance, longtime Clintonadviser Paul Begala said. He
and President Obama share an
economic philosophy erociously
ocused on the middle class, andhe believes Obama has us on the
right track.
Begala also serves as senior ad-
viser or Priorities USA Action,an independent group support-
ing Obamas re-election that has
struggled to compete nancially
with similar Republican-leaninggroups. Clinton has signed on to
help the group and did his rst
event in August, brieng donors
on the political landscape. Hisassistance helped the group raise
about $10 million in August, its
best monthly haul.
Clinton stars in an Obama cam-paign commercial currently run-
ning in battleground states. In the
ad, the ormer president suggests
that Romney would return thecountry to George W. Bush-era
economic policies while arming
Obamas approach that he arguesmirrors his own.
President Obama has a plan to
rebuild America rom the ground
up, Clinton says, adding, Tats
what happened when I was presi-dent.
o be sure, Clinton hasnt al-
ways been a model surrogate or
the Obama campaign. Te ormerpresident once praised Romneys
sterling business credentials at
Bain Capital, the private equity
rm where Romney amassed alarge ortune. Te remark contra-
dicted the Obama campaigns e-
ort to paint the GOP nominee as
a plutocrat devastation.

OPEKA, Kan. An anti-abor-

Operation Rescue led the com-plaint with the Oce o the Disci-

Howe asked a judge in November2011 to drop 49 o the original 107
charges, including the elonies, led
against Planned Parenthood in 2007.
Te last o the charges weredropped in August.
Cheryl Sullenger, policy adviser

Sullenger said that was alse andthat Operation Rescue had proo

BOGOA, Colombia President
Juan Manuel Santos announced onuesday a preliminary accord with
Colombias main leist rebel group to
launch talks aimed at ending a stub-born, century-old conict that has
claimed tens o thousands o lives.
In a nationally televised speech,
Santos called the agreement a road-
map to a denitive peace and saidit was reached aer six months o di-
rect talks in Cuba, with that countrys
government and Norway serving as
brokers ollowing a year and a hal opreparatory work.
Te agreement does not include
a cease-re. Nor does it grant a sae
haven to the Revolutionary ArmedForces o Colombia, or FARC, as oc-
curred during the last peace talks,
which lasted three years and ended
disastrously in 2002.Te talks to end the Western
Hemispheres longest-running con-
ict will begin in the rst hal o Oc-
tober in Oslo, Norway, and continuein Havana, Santos said.
FARC leaders held a news coner-
ence later uesday in Havana.
Santos said the talks, the ourthwith the peasant-based FARC in
three decades, would be dierent
rom past talks because they have
a realistic agenda that includesthe FARC agreeing to eventually lay
down its arms and become integrat-
ed into the countrys political lie.
Santos, a social progressive whodealt the FARC major blows as de-
ense minister rom 2006-2009, said
key topics would be agrarian reorm,
returning stolen land, reducing pov-erty and compensating victims.
Santos said one major point on the
agenda was drug trafcking, which
is highly sensitive because it is be-lieved to be the FARCs main und-
ing source.
I there are not advances, we sim-
ply wont continue, he said, addingthat military operations will con-
tinue with the same or stepped up
intensity.
Santos did not mention a majorobstacle to peace: amnesty or rebel
leaders. A law his government spon-
sored that was passed in June sets a
ramework or amnesties and par-
EHRAN, Iran Iran on Mon-
day gave Mongolias president a
tour o its main uranium enrich-
ment plant, the rst time that it hasopened the site to a oreign leader.
Te visit by President sakhia
Elbegdorj ollowed a summit o
nonaligned nations in ehran thatIranian ofcials hoped would show
the ailure o Western sanctions to
isolate Iran diplomatically.
Te West says Irans nuclear pro-gram aims at developing weapons
technology, but Iran says it is or
peaceul purposes such as power
generation and cancer treatment.Mongolia is said to be building its
rst nuclear power plant and mining
uranium with the help o Russia.
Iran has oen said it is willingto transer its nuclear expertise to
other countries.
Te V broadcast said the Mon-
golian leader was allowed to visitwhatever he wanted in the plant. It
suggested that Elbegdorj endorsed
the Iranian claim about the peaceul
purposes o its nuclear program.Tis site is a unique place. May-
be in other countries it is not possi-
ble to visit such a sensitive place, he
was quoted as saying. I ound outhow the enriched uranium is being
used or peaceul energy.
Inspectors rom the U.N. nuclear
agency visit the site regularly, andIran has in the past allowed oreign
diplomats and reporters to enter it
as well.
Iran said during the meeting thatit would open its nuclear sites to
participating delegates.
BUCHARES, Romania Awhite limousine screeches to a halt
and a bride, resplendent in rothy
gown and veil, is hauled outside by
her abductors.Its one o Romanias more color-
ul customs: bride-napping. And
the tradition o snatching the bride
rom under the nose o groom andguests with the wedding party in
ull swing is getting bigger, brasher
and an increasingly common sight
in the Romanian capital, the Bal-kans undisputed party town.
Every Saturday night, bridesrom Bucharest and beyond are
dragged away in a mock abduc-tion by riends and driven to a top
tourist spot where they are held
hostage all the while pouting,
dancing and striking provocativeposes or the cameras.
Te ransom: a ew bottles o
whisky or perhaps something more
romantic, like a public declarationo love rom the abandoned groom.
Te kidnappers negotiate by phone,
working out the details o the pay-
o. Its all harmless theatrics meant
to add a whi o risque un to the
nuptials.Mock abductions o brides are
part o marriage ceremonies across
the ormer Soviet Union. In some
countries, guests lock up a bride orhave her hide in a backroom dur-
ing celebrations, demanding that
the bridegroom delivers a ransom
like singing a song, dancing orsometimes paying real money.
In Romania, the custom took o
a ew years ago when a top oot-ball player rented Bucharests Archo riumph, a major monument
modeled aer its iconic namesake
in Paris, and proposed there to his
girlriend. Tere was no kidnappinginvolved but the scene stuck in the
popular imagination as a symbol o
marriage and soon the monu-
ment became a sort o midnightmecca or bride-napping.

Te romantic comedy takes on
a rereshing perspective in Ce-
leste & Jesse Forever, where thelove story ocuses on a couple not
amidst the blossoming o their re-
lationship, but rather the conclu-sion.
Celeste (Rashida Jones) and
Jesse (Andy Samberg) have been
separated or six months at thelms onset, aer years o being
together.
Yet even though theyre in the
middle o a divorce, they continueto be best riends. Te pair hangs
out every day and Jesse still lives
in his art studio in Celestes back-
yard.It takes an outburst rom their
riends (Ari Graynor and Eric
Christian Olsen) beore they re-
alize its time to start distancingthemselves and begin moving on.
But when Jesse becomes seri-
ous with someone else only a ew
weeks later, Celeste regrets theloss o her soul mate and quickly
tumbles down a path o sel-de-
struction, both in her personal
and proessional lie, while Jesserises to success.
Teres a balance between emo-
tional maturity and eccentric hu-
mor that eels just as honest as itis enjoyable.
As both co-writer and star, Jones
plays her sentimentality with a
subtle sweetness, while the intrin-sically charming quirk thats made
her so lovable in Te Oce and
Parks and Recreation keeps her
derailment endearing.Hopeully this marks her gradu-
ation rom supporting roles to ull-
on leading lady.Samberg is the real surprise,
however.
We already know hes a clever
little gooall, made popular romhis SNL digital shorts, but here he
shows that he actually has dramat-
ic depth as well.
He embodies that quiet longingor an old love with graceul sim-
plicity, and the chemistry between
the two pulses with authenticity.
Te tenderness that director Leeoland Krieger injects into Celeste
and Jesses relationship tingles with
thoughtul poignancy.
From an extended embrace be-tween the lovers as they try not to
let go o the past, to an apologetic
speech in which Celeste regrets
taking Jesse or granted, Kriegerlls this romance with a sense o
meaning.
Te strong supporting cast also
highlight the lm with a color-ul personality. Te cast eatures
Elijah Wood as Celestes awkward
gay business partner, Will Mc-
Cormack as a strangely insightul
pot dealer and Emma Roberts as a
garish young pop star who Celeste
eventually beriends.
Te always charismatic Chris
Messina and the delicately beauti-ul Rebecca Dayan also appear as
Celeste and Jesses new love inter-
ests, respectively.
Oering a much more adult
and layered movie than any Hol-lywood rom-com, Celeste & Jesse
Forever has just as much heart as
it does humor.

DEROI (AP) When DCComics decided to blow up its
abled universe and create a brave,
diverse uture, Geo Johns drewrom the past or a new character:
his own background as an Arab-
American.
Te companys chie creative o-
cer and writer o the relaunchedGreen Lantern series dreamed up
Simon Baz, DCs most prominent
Arab-American superhero and therst to wear a Green L antern ring.
Te character and creator share
Lebanese ancestry and hail rom
the Detroit area, which boasts oneo the largest and oldest Arab com-
munities in the United States.
I thought a lot about it I
thought back to what was amiliarto me, Johns, 39, told Te Associ-
ated Press by phone last week rom
Los Angeles, where he now lives.
Tis is such a personal story.Te Green Lantern mantle in
DC Comics is no stranger to diver-
sity with its ranks made up o men,
women, aliens animal, vegetable
and mineral rom across theuniverse.
Earlier this year an alternate uni-
verse Green Lantern was reintro-duced as openly gay.
Bazs story begins in a standalone
zero issue available Wednesday
thats part o a companywide eortto ll in the gaps or tell the origins
o a character or team.
Johns has no plans or Baz to
ade into the background thecharacter in February is bound or
the Justice League o America, one
o DCs premier super team books,to ght alongside Green Arrow,Catwoman and Hawkman.
Johns said he took economic as
well as ethnic cues or the character
rom his native Detroit area, withBaz resorting to stealing cars aer
being laid o rom his automotive
engineering job.
He steals the wrong car, whichinadvertently steers him into a ter-
rorism probe and, eventually, an
unexpected call to join the uni-
verses galactic police orce.Te olive-skinned, burly Baz
hails rom Dearborn, the home-town o Henry Ford and the capital
o Arab America.His story begins at 10 years old,
when he and the rest o his Mus-
lim amily watch their television
in horror as airplanes fy into theWorld rade Center on Sept. 11,
2001.
Events unold rom there as U.S.
Arabs and Muslims nd themselvesalling under intense suspicion and
ostracism in the days, months and
years ollowing the attacks.
Obviously, its aecting every-body, said Johns, who grew up
in nearby suburbs in a Lebanese
Christian household and got intocomics when he discovered his
uncles old collection in his Arab
grandmothers attic.One o the things I really want-ed to show was its eect on Simon
and his amily in a very negative
way.

Students returning to thedorms this semester will
endure a move by KU
Student housing that may not be
as beneicial to students as it is to
KU Student Housing.The Academic Resource Centers
o several dierent buildings have
been renovated into classrooms.Instead o having a nice, quiet
place or students to work online,
students who wish to use a univer-
sity computer will be reerred to acomputer in the irst loor lobby
or a library.
Changing the location makes
almost no dierence consideringthat printing is no longer ree and
students will be asked to provide
their own paper anyway.
But the bright side is theyve
upgraded the computers and the
printers. And the housing depart-ment will continue to upgrade the
computers every two years.Adding an extra year to the
age o the computers wouldnt bedetrimental. Money that it would
save on computers could easily
have been put to use allowing stu-
dents to print or ree, or at least toprovide paper i its going to charge
to print.
Free printing and a nice place
to study and gather were centralpieces to the housing experience.
On one hand, it prevented the
need or students to walk all the
way to Anschutz Library or a
measly print job. And on the otherhand, it saved the eight dollars
o ree printing or emergencies
or projects that needed to be in
color.Those advantages have been
taken away or the most part. In
some halls there will be printers
available no walking necessary.
In others, they may have to walk
to another hall to print. Yes, itsa short walk. Much shorter than
the walk to Anschutz or Watson,
but the principle remains that KUStudent Housing has removed theconvenience and the advantages o
having an ARC in every residence
hall.
KU Student Housing still hasplenty o time to correct its mis-
take. Sure, the computers cant
be returned, but the treatment o
halls in concern to their ARCs canbe equalized to some extent. Paper
isnt such a huge thing to ask or,
or ree printing. A couple thou-
sand students live in KU Student
Housing every year; housing
should be able to provide some-thing as simple as a convenient
place to print or all o them.
The ARCs were a valuable
resource that have now beenturned into conerence rooms or
locked their doors or the time
being. Students may not get it
back. However, KU StudentHousing should listen more to
the needs o students than simply
thinking about the coolest com-
puter it can buy or another wayor the university to make money
o o students.

The last presidential elec-
tion saw President Obama
spend nearly $730 million
in his bid to win the White House.Combined with his opponent,
John McCain, the two spent about
$1.4 billion.
As this years presidential elec-tion heats up, political pundits
predict Obama will reach $1 bil-
lion in his bid or re-election.As or political power, the stakes
do not get higher than presidential
electionsto which this kind o
money can attest. Yet, this amounto cash begs the question: what
does the American public get or
$730 million? And i President
Obama is re-elected, what kind oleader will the American people
get or $1 billion?
The answers to these questions
are subject to opinion, presup-posed by ones shade o political
ailiation. However, a glance at
past elections reveals the amount
o political bang ormer presidentsachieved with their campaign
bucks.
A little less than $3 million
in todays dollars put PresidentLincoln in oice. And in 1932,
Franklin D. Roosevelt challenged
President Hoover, and the two
combined to spend $150 million.
The campaign costs or President
Reagan and his opponents in both1980 and 1984 combined or just
under $600 million, total.Ronald Reagans legacy has
morphed into the symbolic ig-urehead o modern conservatism,
and Roosevelts presidency gave
birth to modern liberalism. These
great leaders have become the
trademarks or their respective
political brands, and they spent araction o the amount our mod-
ern day leaders are set to spend
this election.
Only a severe optimist or politi-
cal loyalist could have the aith tobelieve President Obama or presi-
dential-hopeul Mitt Romney willhave the same legacy as Roosevelt
or Reagan.
I dont blame any campaign
donor or eeling a bit ripped o.Like Obama, Roosevelt inher-
ited a bleak economythe worse
economy in American history,
the Great Depression. How hehandled this crisis is a textbook o
great leadership and noteworthy
or aspiring presidents, such as
Romney.Barely a week into oice,
Roosevelt gave his irst ireside
chat. In it, he was clear and rank.
But most importantly, he was hon-est. He discussed the inner work-
ings o commercial banking, a realcrowd pleaser. His git o clarity
illuminated the complex topic. Tothe dismay o many listeners, he
explained how banks do not store
every deposit made, but only keep
enough to meet the daily needs o
their customers. He said point-blank to his listeners, Let me
make it clear to you that the banks
will take care o all needs, except,
o course, the hysterical demandso hoarders.
Roosevelt declared that citizens
could rest easy because action was
already underway to rescue thebanking system. He said tomor-
row banks would begin reopen-
ing, stronger than beore.
Ater this irst ireside chat,Roosevelt would receive thou-
sands o letters daily or the rest o
his time in the White House. I
you could talk to the people everyweek or just iteen minutes as
you did last Sunday, I think that
conidence would again be the
order o the day, said one letter.The outpouring o letters
relects the wide range o sup-
port or Roosevelt. People o di-
erent economic class, politicalailiation and social status united
behind him.
Today, we get none o that. We
dont get the unity, and we dontget the honesty.
It takes hundreds o millions o
dollars to become president, but
only a ew simple traits create agreat leader.
I only honesty was as booming
a business as campaigning or the
presidency.

LETTER To ThE EDIToR
Keep in touch withparents while away
#KUBoobs raises no
cancer awareness
Learning to communicatewith your parents properly
can make the relationship
better.
For many o you upperclass-men who went home this summer,
leaving Lawrence to go back home
probably wasnt your idea o a per-
ect summer. It is great getting tosee old riends, pets, and avorite
hometown locations, but parents
can get pretty irritating.
Although the irst couple oweeks at school have passed, that
euphoric eeling o reedom isprobably still there, especially or
reshman who are experiencing thereedom or the irst time. Besides
the act that your parents arent
there to nag at you or every little
thing, being away rom parents canhave many bonuses.
When I was about to leave or
college a year ago, my mom and
I constantly got into arguments.Our personalities are so similar,
although we probably both hate to
admit that. I tried to get out o thehouse as much as possible to hang
out with riends so I could avoid
the inevitable ight that would hap-
pen between my mom and me.As I moved away last summer,
my mom elt the need to keep in
close contact with me. I was just
ready to go all Kelly Clarkson andbecome Miss Independent. She
would Facebook message me and
email me constantly. It was nice she
was thinking o me, but would getoverwhelming at times especially
when some o the messages were
along the lines o your brother
orgot to eed the cat today. Nowhe wont stop meowing. As the
year went on, my parents and I
were able to give me space but still
talk most every day with meaning-
ul conversations. I also had a ew
instances when I realized I wasntMiss Independent when I came
to the conclusion that I really didneed them.
Being away rom home has mademe appreciate my parents and what
they do or me. I think distance
has made us closer, which made
me a bit sad to leave home thissummer. Although it sounds like
a cheesy line that couples use in
long distance relationships, it can
apply to parents and their collegekids. Since my parents and I now
know how to eectively commu-
nicate while away rom each other,
its easier not to get irritated whenI do see them. I even look orward
to getting updates about which rug
my cat ruined today.
Sometimes I dont think I takeenough time to appreciate what my
parents actually do or me, evenwhile Im away. I think its pretty
universal that kids are going to getirritated with their parents, but
Im sure they eel the same about
us as well.

It was with great dismay that we read the ront page piece in the

their right to do so. It is a travesty, however, to think o the posting o
these pictures as an appropriate way to bring attention and unding to
breast cancer. As psychologists and breast cancer research advocates,we ound the article to be incredibly of-putting, as well as insulting to
those women who have struggled with this disease. I your ellow and
sister students arent able to raise your consciousness about the inap-
propriateness o linking these Twitter and Facebook sites to breastcancer awareness, we hope your proessors will rise to the occasion.

Wednesday, september 5, 2012paGe 6 the UnIVersIty daILy Kansan
During the 1950s and 1960s, the
University of Kansas mens cross-
country team was a consistentpowerhouse in the sport. In those
two decades of glory, the Jayhawks
captured 15 conference titles
they swept the entire 1950s andwon a national championship in
1953.
Fast forward to 2012. There is a
buzz brewing that this team couldreach a similar level of success.
The team may not break the same
records as its 1950s counterpart,
but team officials said this yearsrunners could be the best in recent
memory.
Were great from where we have
been, assistant coach MichaelWhittlesey said. Not from a his-
torical standpoint.
Whittlesey said senior runnerDonny Wasinger, who placed 14th at
the 2011 National Championships,
has more competition this year
from his teammates, improving thegroup as a whole.
For my tenure the last four
years, its by far the best team. Its
no question. Overall talent, thereare more guys that can run with
Donny, Whittlesey said. Donny
has some work to be that No. 1 guy.So if were running where Donnywas two years ago with a pack,
thats a pretty darn good nucleus.
And now youre competing with
the upper echelon in the country.Wasinger, a senior from Winona,
Minn., has seen how much the
team has changed during his time
leading the Jayhawks from hisfreshman year to now.
The team now is more commit-
ted, Wasinger said. Coach Whit
has built more of a culture withinthe team. We are taking it more
seriously. The usual run as a fresh-
man was 8 miles during the sum-
mer, but now its 10 to 12 milesevery day. Everyone is a step above
where we were my freshman year.
Whittleseys confidence in the
group has been well-received byhis runners.
I think its really cool that Coach
has that kind of faith in us, senior
Josh Baden said. We all have tobelieve in ourselves because we
know what we can do.
Senior Eric Dyson agrees.
By setting the bar so high say-ing that, it gives us confidence, and
he believes we can do it, so it helps
a lot, Dyson said.
The mens squad failed to reachthe National Championships last
season, but that wont keep the
team from talking about it.
Our goal is to be at the NationalChampionships. It was our goal last
year and it didnt happen, but I do
know we are a lot better this year,
Whittlesey said. The guys havedone a tremendous job preparing
themselves for the season.
Whether or not the team lives up
these expectations and recapturesthe glory of its midcentury coun-
terparts remains unseen. But one
thing is for certain: The team has
the confidence to try.Greatness is decided by results
and what others think of you,
Whittlesey said. What we have to
do is keep fighting to be a betterand better team.

1. oU(1 l wk) 1-0
Oklahoma struggled against
UTEP to start off the se ason, but
senior quarterback Landry Jonesremained placid and helpedhis team score 24 unanswered
points. The Sooners are still the
team to beat in the Big 12.
FarzIn [email protected]
2. WVU(2 l wk) 1-0
Coach Dana Holgorsen has
to love what he saw from his
football team last week againstMarshall. Senior quarterback
Geno Smith had the hot hand all
game long with only four incom-
pletions out of 36 pass attempts.The Mountaineers offense will
prove a force to be reckoned withthis season.
3. osU(6 l wk) 1-0
Oklahoma State made some
noise last weekend againstSavannah State. The Cowboys
scored two touchdowns less than
five minutes into the game and
finished the first quarter with a35-0 lead, resulting in an 84-0 vic-
tory. Coach Mike Gundy hopes his
offense can stay focused and pro-
vide more strong offensive outingsnext week at Arizona.
4. tcU(3 l wk) 0-0
TCU was off in Week 1 and got
a chance to watch in action someof the Big 12 teams it will face
later this year. Their season begins
this Saturday against Grambling
State where coach Gary Pattersonwants this game to be a stepping
stone before visiting Kansas to
kick off conference play.
5. tx(4 l wk) 1-0
The Texas Longhorns offenseshowed a lot of resiliencee when
converting on 9 of 17 third downs
and both of their fourth downs
while only allowing Wyoming toconvert once on a third down.
Sophomore quarterback David
Ash did a good job of taking care
of the football and has a strongrunning game to work with.
6. bl(7 l wk) 1-0
Senior quarterback Nick
Florence still has a long way to
go, but Baylor fans were pleased
with his 21 completions for 341yards and four touchdowns in
the teams 59-24 victory over
Southern Methodist. If Baylor
can continue to get more out ofits offense, it could sneak its way
into the top 25 and gain some
attention in the Big 12.
7. K s(5 l wk) 1-0
Senior kicker AnthonyCantele helped Kansas State add
some points on the score boardwith three field goals in the first
half. Coach Bill Snyder eventu-
ally got his offense going in the
second half, amassing six touch-downs against Missouri State to
start off the season.
8. Iw s(8 l wk) 1-0
Tulsa gave Iowa State a run for itsmoney after a two-possession lead
to end the f irst quarter. Coach Paul
Rhoads got his Cyclones offense
to rebound and score 24 unan-swered points after a slow start
to the game. Defensively, junior
defensive back Deon Broomfield
shined with a 51-yard interceptionto help his team maintain a big
lead. However, Rhoads wants to see
a better start and more consistency
from his team.
9. ttU(9 l wk) 1-0
Although Texas Tech is
expected to finish near the
bottom of the conference, itopened the season with a 44-6
win against Northwestern
State. Senior quarterback Seth
Doege knows he has a lotto work on before conference
games get underway. The
jury is still out on the Red
Raiders.
10. KU(10 l wk) 1-0
Sophomore running backTony Pierson and junior run-
ning back Taylor Cox combined
for 245 rushing yards and three
scores to help Kansas make upfor some offensive mishaps. The
Jayhawks defense also shined
as they are currently tied with
Tennessee for most interceptionswith four.
ryde cup seletions
NEW YORK Ryder Cup cap-
tain Davis Love III caused a few
murmurs at the Nasdaq MarketSite on Tuesday when making hispicks.
He announced Dustin Johnson,
Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker
before getting to the fourth andfinal pick.
And then last but not least
and if you read between the lines,
not in any particular order exceptthat we are doing it by height, he
said.
Rickie Fowler? No, it was Steve
Stricker, who is listed at an even 6feet in the PGA Tour media guide,
which made him the shortest of
the picks. Stricker has never been
considered short, except whencompared with a Ryder Cup team
that is getting taller all the time.
Talk about growing the game.Were getting bigger and bigger
athletes, Love said.
Love, who is 6-foot-3, was the
tallest player when he made hisfirst Ryder Cup team in 1993. There
are five players who are at least
6-foot-3 on this team Johnson,
Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, PhilMickelson and Bubba Watson.
The only players on the U.S.
team listed under 6 feet are Zach
Johnson (a very generous 5-foot-11) and Jason Dufner (5-foot-10).
I wasnt a good athlete, I was
just tall, Love said. Now were
getting good athletes...Theresobviously going to be great chip-
pers and putters short guys
but were trending toward bigger,
more powerful athletes.

With the kickoff of the
pigskin, there are things
we always know. Ore-
gon will never wear the same thing
twice, Alabama will play good de-fense and Kansas State will play
ugly football whether its successful
or not. We all know these things.Why write about them? Im here to
give you three things you DONT
know. Three of those bold predic-
tions. Take a seat, grab a notebook,because these things may or may
not come true.
1. West Virginia will win the Big
12 Championship. The first yearconference newbies boast one of
the top offenses in the country.
The Mountaineers scored 69
points in their season openerwhile tallying more than 650 yards.
Quarterback Geno Smith was a
nearly perfect 32-36 passing, with
323 yards, four touchdowns andzero interceptions. He also added
65 yards and a touchdown on the
ground. Tavon Austin is one of the
most electrifying players in collegefootball and he runs, catches, and
returns kicks for West Virginia.
This offense has all of the weap-
ons to rack up the points in the Big12, and thats how you win the con-
ference. This is a scoring league,
and West Virginia can do it withthe best of them. With a poor first
week showing from Oklahoma,
this conference is wide open for
West Virginia to claim it.2. Oregons DeAnthony Thomas
scores 25 touchdowns and is a
Heisman finalist in New York.
Just a sophomore, the DucksMr. Everything is a threat to
score every time he touches
the ball.With just seven touches
from scrimmage, Thomas
scored three times in the sea-
son opening 57-34 win over
Arkansas State.An electric runner, Thomas
is the type of player defenses
fear the most. If he gets in open
space, as Oregons offense likes todo, watch out.
He might just keep running all
the way to the Heisman Ceremony
in New York.3. Florida State returns to the
National Championship for the
first time since 2000.
The Seminoles are primed for abreakout year and have all of the
necessary factors in their favor.
The schedule is favorable. The
ACC has lacked its luster for the
past few years, and FloridaState gets their toughest
tests at home. Clemson
and Florida both come to
Tallahassee, and it appearsthe only road test is at
Virginia Tech. If the Noles
can get past that game,
the door is wide open fora championship run. Senior
quarterback EJ Manuel has
loads of experience and leads an
offense full of playmakers.An enormously talented defense
will be the strength of the squad as
head coach Jimbo Fisher takes his
third year at the helm.The Noles have 19 wins in the
past two years including two bowl
victories.
With one slip in the alwaystough SEC, LSU, Alabama or
another team could lose its spot
in the title game. Look for Florida
State to match up with USC come
January 7th.
Markem down, ladies and gen-
tleman. Ill keep a tally on them,too, and maybe update you every
now and then on my success or
failures. Football season will make
it fun to wait and see.And heres a bonus pick for those
who stuck around.
The Hawks dont win another
game after Rice this weekend. TheBig 12 is too tough.
But well see about that one too.
Regardless, its good to have foot-ball back.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven
strong innings and the Kansas City
Royals got home runs from Alex
Gordon and Johnny Giavotella in a6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers
on Tuesday night.
Gordon broke a 2-all tie in the
fifth with a two-run shot off MattHarrison, the third home run he
has allowed to a left-handed hitter
this season.
After Salvador Perezs run-scor-ing double with two outs, Harrison
was replaced by Roy Oswalt. It wasa rare short night for Harrison
(15-9), who has pitched at least
eight innings in eight starts. He
fell to 10-5 away from home, tiedwith Tampa Bay ace David Price
for the most road victories in the
American League.
Harrison allowed five runs, threeearned, and eight hits.
The Royals scored a pair of
unearned runs in the third afteran error by second baseman Ian
Kinsler.
Giavotella connected off Oswalt,
ending a drought of 185 at-bats
with his first home run since Sept.
3, 2011.Guthrie (4-3) held the Rangers to
two runs and five hits. He went 3-9
with Colorado before the Royals
acquired him in a July 20 trade for
Jonathan Sanchez.After Josh Hamilton and Adrian
Beltre started the ninth with singles
off Kelvin Herrera, Greg Hollandcame on to earn his 11th save in 13
opportunities. Hamilton scored on
Michael Youngs sacrifice fly.
Guthrie gave up a home run to
Elvis Andrus in the first inning.
Mitch Morelands double in thesecond scored Geovany Soto.
After giving up five hits to his
first 10 batters, Guthrie did notallow another hit. Lorenzo Cain
reached on Kinslers error inthe third and scored on Alcides
Escobars double, which snappedan 0-for-21 skid. Escobar went
to third on Gordons ground-
out and scored on Billy Butlers
sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Japan committed to play
in the 2013 World Baseball Classic,but Rangers RHP Yu Darvish was
non-committal about whether he
will participate. Darvish refused
to talk about the possibility, butinstead issued a statement through
the Rangers: Were in the mid-dle of the season. I have no com-
ment on the issue. ... The Royalsrecalled RHP Jeremy Jeffress from
Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Jeffress did not allow an earned run
in 6 2-3 innings in two previous
stints this season with Kansas City.... 1B Eric Hosmer was held out of
the Royals lineup. Hosmer is hit-
ting .224 against left-handers, while
Harrison had limited left-handedbatters to a .189 average enter-
ing the game. ... Rangers C Mike
Napoli, who went on the disabledlist Aug. 11 with a strained quadri-ceps, ran on the field for the second
consecutive day with cleats. If he
has no soreness Wednesday, Napoli
could try running the bases.

Footballpredictions
The energy for Kansas foot-ball is back.
Its not close to all the
way back, but theres enough to feel
a pulse again.Even though Saturdays game
had lulls when the crowd at
Memorial Stadium was ridicu-
lously calm, the football team did
enough to win. Everyone was alittle underwhelmed by the end of
the game, but for a team that went
a whole calendar year without win-ning, I would say enough people
were satisfied with the result.
It wasnt just the fans who had a
good feeling throughout much ofthe game; the players looked confi-
dent and prepared before the game
with the Jackrabbits.
Despite having this look of con-fidence, it didnt end up that way.
The offense was not the domi-
nating presence that many antici-
pated. Senior quarterback DayneCrist looked flustered at some
points and badly overthrew to his
receivers on several occasions.
However, the running gameappeared sharp. Sophomore Tony
Pierson and junior Taylor Coxran with authority that carried the
load.All of this has been touched
on and micro-analyzed through-
out the long weekend, but the one
thing that cannot be overlooked isthe defense.
The defense was putrid last year,
and it appeared to go in the same
direction.After seeing a few botched drives
by both teams, Jackrabbits speed-
ster Zach Zenner broke open a run
for 99 yards, blowing past all theKansas defenders.
Oh no, here we go again. More
defense that cant be stomached or
gives up 50-plus points a game.But the defense settled down
and only allowed 63 total yards therest of the half.
Now the attention turns to theRice and how its team will fare
against Kansas this weekend.
The Owls from Houston
are by no means a world-beaterfrom Conference USA. Theyve
only made two bowl games the
last 50 years and finished with a4-8 record last season. They also
dropped their first game of the
season on Thursday to UCLA with
a score of 49-24.The Bruins quarterback com-
pleted 20 of 22 passes and their
running back ran for 215 yards.
UCLA moved efficiently and effec-tively throughout the game against
Rice, so I would expect the same
from Kansas this weekend.
This game on Saturday wontbe the test that TCU will be next
week, but at least its a Division 1
opponent for Kansas.
Now that weve all seen one weekof football, I think its safe to say
that this team is in a better posi-
tion than last year. But taking care
of these non-conference games arethe most important part of build-
ing any sort of momentum into the
difficult Big 12 season.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
After studying footage from
Saturdays 31-17 win over South
Dakota State, coach Charlie Weishas zeroed in on what the football
team must improve on to be suc-
cessful this season.
One player Weiswants to see progress is
senior quarterback and
captain Dayne Crist. In
his debut as a Kansas
Jayhawk, Crist went17 of 36, throwing 169
yards. He had one touch-
down and one interceptionagainst the Jackrabbits.
While Weis has high expecta-
tions for the Notre Dame trans-fer, he also wants to make sure
Crist keeps his head high after
Saturdays game.
You only get 12 of these regu-lar season games and the f irst one
was a win, Weis said. Youre not
supposed to feel bad after a win.
Youre supposed to feel good afteryou win. You deal with the prob-
lems in the game, but dont feel
bad after a win.
Weis grades his players afterwatching film of the previous
game and said that no player gets
graded harder than the quarter-
back of the team.His parents would not have
been happy if he brought that
grade home, Weis said of Crist.
We grade relatively dif-ficult. We grade hard.
As for Crist, he gladly
welcomes the criticism
and is open with hiscoaches and teammates
on how he can be a bet-ter leader and quarter-
back.Im just as hard on
myself, he said. Ive got to prac-
tice better. I have a better under-
standing of how the game went.But at the end of the day, I know
that I can play much better than
how I did on Saturday, and I am
excited for the opportunity to getbetter this week in practice and
go out and have a better shot on
Saturday.
As a captain of the team, Cristcontinues to keep in touch with
his receivers in and out of the
facility as much as possible. Not
only does everyone on the team
want to improve for their own
personal benefit, but they also
make the players around thembetter to help the team be more
successful.
I think the communication
between they and I are great,Crist said. We all have the same
goal, and thats getting better and
playing more efficient, and thats
what we are going to aim to doall week.
Crist wants to make practice
count this week with his team-mates before Saturdays gameagainst Rice University. He made
it clear that the team can evolve
their playing, even after this sea-
sons first win. Crist would liketo improve the dynamic with his
receivers after making mental
errors and leaving points on thefield last weekend.
At the end of the day, weve
got to be more efficient, he said.
I think that starts in practice, soweve got to have a great sense of
urgency today in practice, tomor-
row and all week and practice
efficiency as well.

The Kansas volleyball team
defeated the University of
Missouri, Kansas City Kangaroos3-0 Tuesday at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center, spoiling the
return of the Kangaroos head
coach Christi Posey, a formerJayhawk assistant coach.
The Jayhawks began the first
set on a 6-2 run, which set the
standard for the rest of the match.They never trailed in the first set,
which they won 25-15, or the sec-
ond set, which finished 25-17. The
team briefly trailed in the third setbut still won 25-17.
I thought our blocking set thetone in the first set, Kansas coach
Ray Bechard said. We blocked sixballs and I think that put them
back on their heels a little bit. I
thought they changed offensively
a little bit what they were doing.Although Bechard said his
team could have been more effi-
cient, the Jayhawks .275 hitting
percentage was above their seasonaverage of .266, and was easily
better than UMKCs .045 hitting
percentage.
They also had more assiststhan UMKC (42-23) and digs (59-
36). Junior libero Brianne Riley
finished the game with 17 digs,
which moved her into the top 10in Jayhawk history for career digs.
I think weve been real scrap-
py this year, Riley said of theJayhawks defense. Ive said it
before, but were all veterans back
there, and we work really well
together.During the young season, mul-
tiple Jayhawks have frequently
threatened the 10 kill mark each
match. Against the Kangaroos,only two players had at least 10
kills, redshirt junior middle block-er Caroline Jarmoc and freshman
outside hitter Tiana Dockery.
Jarmoc had 16 kills, tying her
career high, and Dockery had 13kills, easily setting a career high.
It was just working in transi-
tion again, getting my feet to the
ball, Jarmoc said. I was trying toemphasize going behind the setter
and just driving and getting kills.
The Jayhawks also varied theirlineup this match and played natu-
ral setters juniors Erin McNorton
and Kara Wehrs at the same time.
Wehrs received extensive playingtime as an outside hitter and con-
tributed two kills, a dig and a block
assist. Outside hitter Sylvia Bullock
also received her first time on thecourt as a Jayhawk late in the first
set. Sophomore outside hitter Sara
McClinton, who was named to the
Kansas Volleyball Invitational All-
Tournament team, didnt play.
The roster that was ready yes-terday (Monday) is the roster we
went with, Bechard said. And as
you go through these pre-confer-
ence tournaments where youreplaying a lot, you deal with cer-
tain things, just dinged up or a
little injury here or there. It was an
opportunity for some other folks,and thats what we needed.
The match was the first time
Posey coached in Horejsi with-
out wearing crimson and blue.Posey is in her second year as the
UMKC head coach after serving
11 years as an assistant to Bechard
at Kansas.
We visited before, and Imsure well visit a little bit after,
Bechard said. During the match,
shes about what I thought shed be.Pretty intense, pretty fired up, and
her team would play hard. Im just
really proud of her.
The Jayhawks will host theJayhawk Invitational this week-
end at home. They will open the
tournament against the College of
Charleston Friday at 11:30 a.m.,continue at Arizona State Friday
night at 7:30 and finish against
Wyoming at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
