Students grab a snack at the Koch Industries Lounge in the KU School of Business. A student group has filed a Kansas Open Records Act request to investigate the relationship the Koch brothers have with the school.
The issue that started with
10 months of research and
questions of transparency
will soon come to fruition
once the University produces
a Kansas Open Records
Act request to a group of
University students.
The group has been
pursuing information
about the Koch brothers’
relationship with the School
of Business.
The students are
members of Students for
a Sustainable Future, a
campus organization that
organizes campaigns for
social, environmental and
economic issues. They expect
to receive the documents
in late October. Originally,
they filed a request in April
and revised it in August.
The University approved the
request, but it came with a
$1,800 price tag.
The students organized
a petition and fundraiser,
raised all the money and
submitted the payment last
Friday. In the group’s KORA
request, it asked for all
documents about donations
and associated restrictions
by Koch family foundations,
donations and associated
restrictions contributed
to Dr. Arthur Hall and
the Center for Applied
Economics and records of
the hiring processes for Hall,
Dr. Douglas A. Houston and
Dr. Koleman Strumpf.
Schuyler Kraus, a senior
from Allen, Texas, and
president of Students for a
Sustainable Future, started
looking into the Koch
brothers’ relationship with
the University once she
learned about the Koch
brothers’ contracts with
schools like Florida State
University and Clemson.
Internal memos and emails
at those schools indicated the
Koch brothers had influence
over hiring and curriculum.
“It really goes back to this
question of, ‘Does academia
exist to churn out cogs to
go into this economic wheel
machine, to make it all work,
or does academics exist
totally separate from the
dominant economic model,’ ”
Kraus said. “Does it exist to
question that?”
She knew the Koch
brothers were from Wichita
and wondered what kind of
influence, if any, they had at
a university in their home
state.
The students started
researching all things Koch
and found, among others
things, $1.4 million in
donations from the Kochs
to the business school.
The business school funds
Hall’s position, and Hall
runs the Center for Applied
Economics, which was
established with a donation
from the Koch brothers,
according to the op-ed
piece written by Kraus and
published in the Lawrence
Journal-World.
“There are so many
coincidences that it warrants
an investigation into what’s
going on,” Kraus said.
Neeli Bendapudi, dean of
the business school, said
while the school is grateful
for the money from the Koch
Foundation, it has also raised
slightly under $70 million
in the past three years,
excluding Koch money.
Bendapudi said this is an
issue of academic freedom
and said she does not believe
she, or any dean, has the right
to limit what a professor
researches. Bendapudi said
she hasn’t received any
complaints from business
school students about Hall
and said she believes his
classroom teachings are
unbiased.
“In the classroom, no
matter who is funded and
how, if you have a professor
who says, ‘I will punish you
if you do not agree with me’
or ‘I’m using this classroom
to advocate a particular point
of view,’ then I think that’s
unacceptable and we would
let them go,” Bendapudi said.
Bendapudi said in the
three years she’s been dean,
students have come to her
with complaints about
different professors, but not
one has been about Hall.

Daisy Hill sees rise
in parking citations
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@AmberVandegrift
Construction has caused a
change for student parking
on Daisy Hill. Donna
Hultine, director of KU
Parking and Transit, said
1,359 parking tickets have
been given on Daisy Hill and
at the Lied Center between
Aug. 1 and Sept. 29 this
year, which is more than 100
more than last year at the
same time.
Hultine said Daisy Hill has
lost about 600 parking spaces
due to the construction of
the new residence hall to
replace McCollum Hall. Te
300E lot by the Lied Center
has provided overfow
parking to make up for the
lost spaces.
“Section E of the Lied
Center lot is designated
as a DF (Daisy Field) lot,”
Hultine said. “It’s for DF
permits, and it’s actually
always been a DF lot. Even
before the Lied Center was
built, there was a parking lot
on that side of the bridge that
was for the residence halls,
so we’ve sort of claimed that
for housing.”
Since many Daisy Hill
residents have to park
in 300E, Hultine said
some students have even
purchased yellow permits
instead of Daisy Field ones,
which has caused some
confusion. Hultine said the
Lied Center parking lot,
except 300E, is closed from
4-6 a.m., even for vehicles
with a yellow permit.
“Te parking commission
created a rule last year that
prohibits overnight parking
at the Lied Center lot, except
300E, because the Lied
Center still has to have that
parking lot for nighttime
performances,” Hultine said.
Hultine said most tickets
are written for no valid
permit or wrong zone, which
are generally fned $25 each,
but she said some students
take the opportunity to
get their tickets forgiven.
Hultine said 220 tickets
have been canceled between
Aug. 1 and Sept. 29 this year,
which is fewer than this time
last year.
“If it’s a no valid permit
ticket, and if it’s a wrong
zone ticket, like … if
someone parks in the staf
area at the beginning of the
year, if they take that ticket
forgiveness quiz, those can
all be forgiven, they can all
be canceled, but we only
cancel one per person. It
has to be your frst ticket,”

IOA drafts sexual assault survey
Te Ofce of Institutional
Opportunity and Access has
drafed a 2014 climate survey,
which gathers information
from students about sexual
assault on campus, to be
reviewed by a variety of campus
groups and administration
before it’s released this fall.
Te surveys are emailed to
all KU email addresses. Jane
McQueeny, executive director
of IOA, said the goal is to
receive responses from 2,000
students, which would be
more than twice the amount
from 2013 and almost four
times the amount from 2012.
“If we had a greater percentage
of student population, it would
probably be even stronger in
terms of our ability to draw
conclusions,” McQueeny said.
Tis year, the climate surveys
will include open-ended
questions and questions
about the current procedures,
including those involving the
Ofce of Student Afairs and
sexual assault training. It will
also include many questions
from the Not Alone campaign,
which was established by the
White House in January to
eliminate sexual assault on
campus.
“[Te task force] is going to
look holistically and see what
the survey responses say,” said
Angela Murphy, co-chair of
the sexual assault task force
and graduate student. “Ten
we are going to compare it to
national rates and to our peer
institutions.”
Previous climate surveys
asked a variety of questions,
including questions gauging
student knowledge on policies
and asking about reporting
and reasons for not reporting.
Information from the surveys
about sexual harassment
involving alcohol and
bystander actions have been
previously used to improve
sexual assault training.

Hultine said.
Mark LaFollette, a Daisy
Hill resident and a sophomore
from Olathe, said the parking
situation on Daisy Hill is a
problem. He said he parks in
lot 300E in the Lied Center
frequently, which he said can
be a hassle when he needs to
carry things from his car.
“I have to go way out of
my way to take the bridge
or go way out of my way to
walk across on the crosswalk,
and it’s very inconvenient,”
LaFollette said.
He said he has never
received a ticket, but it is a
concern he has.
“I am slightly worried that
I will park in the wrong spot
on Daisy Hill, and sometimes
I’ve had to take pictures, so
in case I have to appeal my
ticket, I can say ‘there was
not a sign,’ because signs pop
up overnight saying you can’t
park places,” LaFollette said.
LaFollette said he is
dissatisfed because he paid
to park on Daisy Hill, yet he
is not getting to park on Daisy
Hill.

Te University of Kansas
fnally has its frst book club.
Claudia Larkin, director of
marketing at KU Memorial
Unions, partnered with
Student Union Activities to
create this club for students
to relax and indulge in a good
book once a month.
“With book clubs being so
popular now, we thought it
would be a great opportunity
to get students to read,”
Larkin said. “It’s about
having an opportunity to
decompress once a month.”
To get things going, Larkin
will lead the frst meeting.
While she will have a list of
suggestions, the decision of
the next monthly books will
be lef up to the students in
the club.
“By having students leading
the club, students will feel
more invested in it and truly
want to read the books,”
said Bea Tretbar, president
of SUA. “I think it will help
the club stay relevant to
students.”
Afer working with Larkin
and the marketing team,
Tretbar decided to join the
book club herself.
“I think the club will be a
great conversation starter,”
Tretbar said. “Students will
have the opportunity to relax
while staying on campus
and meeting friends with
something in common.”
Te frst book the club is
discussing is a New York
Times bestseller written by
Mindy Kaling, “Is Everyone
Hanging Out Without Me?”
It was chosen because its
humor is a change of pace
from schoolwork.
“[Te book] seemed like
something college kids
would enjoy and could relate
to,” Larkin said. “It’s an easy
read and it’s a diversion from
textbooks.”
Te book club’s frst
meeting will be Tursday at
3:15 p.m., immediately afer
SUA’s Tea at 3 on Level 4 of
the Union. It is free to attend
for all students.
“We intentionally hung it
[the book club] of of Tea at
3,” Larkin said. “It seemed
like students would love to sit
down with tea, a cookie and a
good book, especially as the
weather gets colder.”
Te book club will continue
to meet at 3:15 p.m. on the
frst Tursday of every month
that classes are in session.

“We read it, look for any
trends, see if there’s anything
to be concerned about,”
McQueeny said. “I think last
year we even used some of
our survey responses in the
training.”
Tere were 547 students,
193 males, 346 females
and eight non-responses,
surveyed in 2012. In 2013,
890 students were surveyed,
306 males, 579 females and
fve non-responses.
In 2012, the climate survey
was used to establish a
baseline of what students
knew about where to report,
and in 2013 the survey asked
more about the reporting
process, McQueeny said.
However, there were some of
the same or similar questions
on surveys from both years.
“Did you know that sexual
harassment, which includes
sexual violence (i.e. rape,
sexual assault) is prohibited
at the University of Kansas?”
2012: 3.29 percent said no
2013: 12.13 percent said no
“Have you been the victim
of sexual harassment, which
includes sexual violence,
while at the University of
Kansas?”
2012: 13.35 percent said
yes
2013: 10.79 percent said yes
“Have you witnessed sexual
harassment, including
sexual violence, while at the
University of Kansas?”
2012: 16.04 percent said yes
2013: 10.79 percent said yes
When asked about fling a
report:
2012: 20.31 percent said
they were aware of who to
contact
2013: 40.56 percent said
they would contact IOA to
fle a complaint
In 2012, the last question
was: “How satisfed are you
with the University of Kansas’
eforts to prevent and respond
to allegations of sexual
harassment?”
7.54 percent said they were
very dissatisfed
13.93 percent said they
were somewhat dissatisfed
48.36 percent said they were

Kansas taxes fall
short by $21M
TOPEKA — Kansas
reported Tuesday that
its tax collections fell
$21 million short of
expectations in September,
which could expand a
predicted budget shortfall
as Republican Gov.
Sam Brownback faces a
tough re-election battle
over income tax cuts he
engineered.
Te Department of
Revenue said sofer-than-
anticipated personal
income tax collections
reported in its preliminary
revenue fgures could
rebound in future months.
Te department also
said corporate income
tax collections exceeded
expectations and said it
suggested a good business
climate.
Even with the good news
in corporate income taxes,
the state collected $521
million in taxes for the
month, or 4 percent less
than the $542 million it
had anticipated. Since the
fscal year began July 1,
the state has taken in $1.35
billion in taxes, some $23
million, or 1.7 percent less
than anticipated for the
past three months.
Te state has cut its top
personal income tax rate
26 percent and exempted
the owners of 191,000
businesses from personal
income taxes. Brownback
contends the reductions
are stimulating economic
growth, but before
Tuesday’s report, the
Legislature’s nonpartisan
research staf predicted a
budget shortfall of $238
million by July 2016.
“Tax cuts take a little
bit of time to be able to
generate (revenue) and
move forward,” Brownback
said during an interview
on Fox News. “People
are looking at it (Kansas)
and saying, ‘OK, I think
this is moving in the right
direction.’”
Personal income tax
collections fell more than
$42 million short of the
September target of $250
million, a shortfall of nearly
23 percent. Individual
income tax collections
also are running about 9
percent behind where they
were last year.
Department of Revenue
spokeswoman Jeanine
Koranda said this month’s
shortfall can be attributed
to many taxpayers making
estimated payments based
on their 2013 incomes,
and they’re likely to face
additional payments early
next year.
But Davis, the Kansas
House minority leader
said in a statement that the
tax cuts represent a failed
economic experiment, and,
“It’s not going to work.”

WOODRUFF AUDITORIUM
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
DALLAS — Te frst case
of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S.
was confrmed Tuesday in a
patient who recently traveled
from Liberia to Dallas — a sign
of the far-reaching impact of
the out-of-control epidemic in
West Africa.
Te unidentifed man was
critically ill and has been
in isolation at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital since
Sunday, federal health ofcials
said. Tey would not reveal his
nationality or age.
Authorities have begun
tracking down family and
friends who may have had
close contact with him and
could be at risk for becoming
ill. But ofcials said there are
no other suspected cases in
Texas.
At the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,
Director Tom Frieden said the
man lef Liberia on Sept. 19,
arrived the next day to visit
relatives and started feeling ill
four or fve days later. He said
it was not clear how the patient
became infected.
Tere was no risk to anyone
on the airplane because the
man had no symptoms at the
time of the fight, Frieden said.
Ebola symptoms can include
fever, muscle pain, vomiting
and bleeding, and can appear
as long as 21 days afer
exposure to the virus. Te
disease is not contagious until
symptoms begin, and it takes
close contact with bodily fuids
to spread.
“Te bottom line here is that
I have no doubt we will control
this importation, or this case
of Ebola, so that it does not
spread widely in this country,”
Frieden told reporters.
“It is certainly possible that
someone who had contact
with this individual, a family
member or other individual,
could develop Ebola in the
coming weeks,” he added. “But
there is no doubt in my mind
that we will stop it here.”
In Washington, President
Barack Obama was briefed
about the diagnosis in a call
from Frieden, the White House
said.
Four American aid workers
who became infected in West
Africa have been fown back
to the U.S. for treatment afer
they became sick. Tey were
cared for in special isolation
facilities at hospitals in Atlanta
and Nebraska. Tree have
recovered.
Also, a U.S. doctor exposed
to the virus in Sierra Leone
is under observation in a
similar facility at the National
Institutes of Health.
Te U.S. has only four such
isolation units. Asked whether
the Texas patient would be
moved to one of those specialty
facilities, Frieden said there
was no need and virtually any
hospital can provide the proper
care and infection control.
Dr. Edward Goodman, an
epidemiologist at the hospital,
said the U.S. was much better
prepared to handle the disease
than African hospitals, which
are ofen short of doctors,
gloves, gowns and masks.
“We don’t have those
problems. So we’re perfectly
capable of taking care of this
patient with no risk to other
people,” he said.
Afer arriving in the U.S.
on Sept. 20, the man began
to develop symptoms last
Wednesday and initially
sought care two days later. But
he was released. At the time,
hospital ofcials did not know
he had been in West Africa. He
returned later as his condition
worsened.
Blood tests by Texas
health ofcials and the CDC
separately confrmed an Ebola
diagnosis on Tuesday.
State health ofcials
described the patient as
seriously ill. Goodman said he
was able to communicate and
was hungry.
Te hospital is discussing
if experimental treatments
would be appropriate, Frieden
said.
Since the summer months,
U.S. health ofcials have been
preparing for the possibility
that an individual traveler
could unknowingly arrive
with the infection. Health
authorities have advised
hospitals on how to prevent the
virus from spreading within
their facilities.
People boarding planes in
the outbreak zone are checked
for fever, but that does not
guarantee that an infected
person won’t get through.
Liberia is one of the three
hardest-hit countries in the
epidemic, along with Sierra
Leone and Guinea.
Ebola is believed to have
sickened more than 6,500
people in West Africa, and
more than 3,000 deaths have
been linked to the disease,
according to the World
Health Organization. But
even those tolls are probably
underestimates, partially
because there are not enough
labs to test people for Ebola.
Two mobile Ebola labs stafed
by American naval researchers
arrived this weekend and
will be operational this week,
according to the U.S. Embassy
in Monrovia. Te labs will
reduce the amount of time it
takes to learn if a patient has
Ebola from several days to a
few hours.
Te U.S. military also
delivered equipment to build
a feld hospital, originally
designed to treat troops
in combat zones. Te 25-
bed clinic will be stafed by
American health workers and
will treat doctors and nurses
who have become infected.
Te U.S. is planning to build
17 other clinics in Liberia and
will help train more health
workers to staf them. Britain
has promised to help set up
700 treatment beds in Sierra
Leone, and its military will
build and staf a hospital in
that country. France is sending
a feld hospital and doctors to
Guinea.

NEW YORK — A sister of
the Boston Marathon bombing
suspects was led away in
handcufs Tuesday afer a brief
court appearance on allegations
she threatened to “put a bomb”
on a perceived romantic rival.
Ailina Tsarnaeva, 24, of North
Bergen, New Jersey, was held on
aggravated harassment charges.
She is accused of threatening a
woman who previously had a
romantic relationship with her
husband.
“Leave my man alone,” she
said in a phone call on Aug.
25, according to the criminal
complaint. “Stop looking for
him. I have people. I know
people that can put a bomb
where you live.”
Manhattan Assistant District
Attorney Jennifer Abreu said
Tsarnaeva was apparently
referencing her brothers,
Dzhokhar and Tamerlan
Tsarnaev, who had been the
subjects of an intense manhunt
in the Boston area in the days
afer the deadly April 2013
marathon bombing. Tamerlan
Tsarnaev died following a
gunbattle with police, and
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was
captured.
Prosecutors said Tsarnaeva
had driven past the woman’s
house since an order of
protection was issued.
Tsarnaeva’s attorney, Susan
Marcus, said she disputes
making such statements.
“My client is an easy target,”
Marcus said. “Tis is an
uncorroborated claim.”
Marcus said Tsarnaeva, a
mother of two including a
5-month-old, and her family
had “absolutely no means” and
she did not deserve to be jailed.
According to a statement
Tsarnaeva gave police, she
called the woman to tell her to
leave her family alone because
she had been harassing her
husband.
“She started screaming and
calling me names and saying
that I will see what she is going
to do to me,” she said, according
to the statement. “So I hung up
the phone on her.”
Judge Denise Dominquez
renewed the order of protection
and set bail at $5,000.
Tsarnaeva arrived at
Manhattan criminal court with
a man, though it was unclear if
it was her husband, as a small
group of protesters screamed
insults.
“I have nothing to say,” she
told reporters.
Her lawyer referred to the
father of Tsarnaeva’s children
as her husband, though it has
also been reported they were
not married.
Tsarnaeva has an ongoing
case in Massachusetts and
is required to check in with
probation ofcers since
prosecutors said she failed
to cooperate with a 2010
counterfeiting investigation.
Prosecutors said she picked
up someone who passed a
counterfeit bill at a restaurant at
a Boston mall and “lied about
certain salient facts during the
investigation.”
She also was arrested in 2009
on charges she lef the scene of
an accident, but the case was
dismissed, prosecutors said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is
charged with building and
planting the two pressure
cooker bombs that exploded
near the marathon’s fnish
line, killing three people and
injuring more than 260 others.
He has pleaded not guilty.

Participation is key in crucial
upcoming Kansas elections
By Jesse Burbank
@JBurbank1
FFA OF THE DAY
“
If it’s dark and you’re playing the
campanile, I’m pretty sure you are the
phantom of the opera
“
T
here is nothing
quite like an
election season
in a battleground state.
Advertisements saturate
the airwaves, big-name
politicians come to
town to stump for their
horse in the race and
candidates fighting
for their political lives
become even more
desperate for your vote.
Sound familiar?
Because it should, since
that is exactly what is
happening in Kansas.
Gov. Sam Brownback,
Secretary of State Kris
Kobach and Sen. Pat
Roberts have all suddenly
found themselves fighting
tooth-and-nail to defend
their current positions
and respective visions for
the future. Each of these
races are composed of
different circumstances,
representing a unique
choice for Kansans.
To begin, the Governor’s
race presents us with
a choice between two
radically different
visions. On one hand, we
may choose to continue
Gov. Brownback’s
experiment of slashing
state taxes and services,
or we could decide to
reverse Brownback’s
course by selecting a
native son of Lawrence,
Paul Davis.
In the competition for
Secretary of State, Kansas
again has a uniquely
important decision
to make. Secretary
Kobach has made an
unusually prominent
name for himself in
national politics, helping
Arizona institute the
strictest immigration
laws in the nation and
pioneering extensive
and controversial
requirements for
voter registration here
in Kansas. Former
Republican State Senator
Jean Schodorf is running
as a Democrat to succeed
Kobach, a move that
underscores the rebellion
of many moderates
within the Kansas
Republican Party.
Perhaps the race
with the most national
significance is Roberts’
bid for re-election to
the Senate. Damaged
by his abandonment of
Kansas residency, a bitter
primary, and adoption of
many Tea Party positions,
Roberts now finds
himself in a situation
entirely new to him — a
competitive race.
With the Kansas
Supreme Court’s
affirmation of Democrat
Chad Taylor’s attempt
to be removed from the
ballot, Independent Greg
Orman now has a chance
to unseat Roberts and
potentially decide control
of the entire United
States Senate.
Seeing the fierce
competition of these
races (and even some
House of Representatives
elections), national
groups have poured
money and resources
into Kansas, setting the
stage for what will be a
political battle one would
expect in such bonafide
battlegrounds as Ohio or
Florida.
This election has
evolved into the most
competitive election in
recent Kansas history,
one that will affect
everything — from
the price of a college
education to the job
market that awaits
graduates.
With polls locked in
a statistical tie, it is
absolutely vital that all
Kansans make themselves
heard this November.
Regardless of your
political affiliation, do
not let your voice in
this election go to waste
because you think, “it
doesn’t matter.”
It does.
Don’t forfeit your say
in your government.
Register to vote by
Oct. 14 and make your
voice heard.

T
he comparison in
“Victim blaming
is wrong, but we
cannot be naïve” isn’t
logical. Nobody thinks
that we should leave our
wallets out in public
as a sign of trust of the
public. We all deserve,
however, to feel that
we alone have control
over our own bodies,
regardless of where we
are.
Leaving my apartment
doesn’t mean I’m
asking to be assaulted,
or I’ve consented to
someone touching
my body. While it’s
tragic the columnist’s
friend lost $1,800 in
a financial scam, it
is a fundamentally
different sort of crime
than sexual assault.
He doesn’t suffer from
post-traumatic stress
disorder or experience
social anxiety in public
like many sexual assault
survivors do. He doesn’t
fear encountering the
perpetrator like many
sexual assault survivors
do. He wasn’t asked
what he did to make the
perpetrator think it was
OK to take advantage of
him like sexual assault
survivors are asked
repeatedly.
Victim blaming will
never solve sexual
assault. It only reinforces
the idea that victims
deserved to be assaulted
or it was their fault.
Victim blaming has to
stop. We should, as the
columnist says, discuss
how to prevent sexual
assault, but the onus
shouldn’t be on potential
victims. It’s never
someone’s responsibility
to avoid being assaulted.
It is always someone’s
responsibility to not
assault other people.
Our fear of victim
blaming doesn’t create
more victims. Our focus
on potential victims,
instead of potential
perpetrators, does.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Enjoy life’s moments
without technology
W
alking down
Jayhawk
Boulevard, I
looked around and saw
that almost every student
was walking with their
eyes on their cell phones.
It was a beautiful day, yet
every student appeared to
be concentrated on what
they held in their hands.
People are shifting
their focus from trying
to have a life full of fun
and memories, to a life
focused on documenting
their memories and trying
to prove to their followers
how much fun they are
having. We’ve all seen it
done, and we’ve all done
it ourselves. Have you
ever taken a picture at
a party or an event that
wasn’t even really that
fun, but you posted it so
it wouldn’t look like you
stayed in? I know I have.
Remember that saying,
“Pics or it didn’t happen?”
It may sound funny but it
is so true. Our generation
has gotten to the point
where if you don’t have a
picture with your friends
on a Saturday night or
a tweet saying you were
drunk, you might as well
have just stayed home
and done nothing because
that is what people will
assume.
College is supposed to be
the best time of our lives,
and we can’t continue to
waste time staring at a
screen. When we spend
so much time trying to
convince others that we
have a fun life, we tend
to miss moments in our
lives. The next time you
go out to dinner with
your friends or you go
to a party, put down the
phone.
The people you actually
choose to be with must be
more important than what
your followers see. Try
sitting through a lecture
without checking Twitter.
Try having a meal without
your phone at the table.
You will be amazed at
how much more you will
get out of any scenario
without your phone
clouding your attention.
Just enjoy the people and
atmosphere in the room
with you and you’ll be
surprised at how many
more memories you end
up leaving with.

Raleigh Prinster, a sopho-
more from Tucson, Ariz., ma-
joring in sports management,
is the founder and current op-
erator of the Twitter account
@KUBathrooms. Te account
tweets reviews of the bath-
rooms on campus that Univer-
sity students use the most. Te
reviews are either the work of
Prinster himself or submis-
sions from followers.

Kansan: What inspired you
to create the account?
Prinster: One day one of
my friends was asking where
a good place to go to the bath-
room was, and we were just
talking about it in a group chat
on iMessage, and he found a
really good one. I thought it
would be really funny to make
an account, and it just took of
really quickly.
Kansan: Since starting the
account, what has it been like
to receive so many followers
so quickly? (Less than a week
afer the account was created
Sept. 17, it had surpassed 100
followers.)
Prinster: It’s pretty cool. I
kind of wasn’t expecting it to
be this big so quick, I mean,
I’ve done little accounts in the
past just with friends and they
haven’t worked out, so for this
one to work out is kind of cool,
just to have something go on
like that.

Kansan: What do your
friends think about it?
Prinster: Tey like it. Tey
help me out with some of the
reviews. If they go to a bath-
room they’re like, “Oh yeah, go
here!” I’ve actually had friends
tell me to not post about bath-
rooms because they love the
bathroom, it’s so quiet and all
this. I’m like, “OK, I won’t, I
won’t ruin your fun,” but yeah,
they love it, they take part in it,
so it works out.

Kansan: What’s your favor-
ite review that’s been submit-
ted?
Prinster: Tere was one
about a bathroom in Snow
Hall. I don’t know exactly what
the review said, but it said
there was a window in one
of the stalls, and you can just
look out over one of the hills.
I thought that was pretty cool,
I’d never heard of a bathroom
having a giant window like
that.
Kansan: What’s your per-
sonal favorite bathroom on
campus?
Prinster: My personal fave
... I don’t know ... Budig has a
nice bathroom; it’s big. Kind
of reminds me of an airport a
little bit. I guess that’s the one
I go to mainly, just because I
have classes there.

Kansan: What do you think
are the most important quali-
ties for a bathroom to have to
earn a good grade on the ac-
count?
Prinster: It’s got to be pret-
ty clean. You can’t have like,
super wet foors or anything.
Not super cramped, the stall
can’t be too narrow. Got to
have toilet paper and paper
towels to wash your hands,
and just be stocked up with
all that good stuf. Just have
a clean feel, or as clean as a
bathroom can feel.
Kansan: What’s the worst
bathroom that you’ve used on
campus?
Prinster: I’d say there’s one
in Wescoe, I think. I don’t re-
member what foor, and it may
have just been the time I was
there, but there was only like
one stall in it and two urinals
and there was like 10 guys in
there at once. I was like, this
isn’t a bathroom I want to be
in.

Kansan: If you could add
one thing to the bathrooms at
KU, what would you put in?
Prinster: TVs would be
nice, just set on SportsCenter
or something. Tat’d be pretty
cool.

WWF study: Wildlife populations plummet
for 3,000 species, blame human threats
GENEVA — About 3,000
species of wildlife around the
world have seen their numbers
plummet far worse than previ-
ously thought, according to a
new study by one of the world's
biggest environmental groups.
Te study Tuesday from the
Swiss-based WWF largely
blamed human threats to na-
ture for a 52 percent decline in
wildlife populations between
1970 and 2010.
It says improved methods of
measuring populations of fsh,
birds, mammals, amphibians
and reptiles explain the huge
diference from the 28-per-
cent decline between 1970 and
2008 that the group reported in
2012.
Most of the new losses were
found in tropical regions, par-
ticularly Latin America.
WWF describes the study it
has carried out every two years
since 1998 as a barometer of
the state of the planet.
"Tere is no room for com-
placency," said WWF Inter-
national Director General
Marco Lambertini, calling for
a greater focus on sustainable
solutions to the impact people
are inficting on nature, partic-
ularly through the release of
greenhouse gases.
Te latest "Living Planet"
study analyzed data from
about 10,000 populations of
3,038 vertebrate species from
a database maintained by the
Zoological Society of London.
It is meant to provide a repre-
sentative sampling of the over-
all wildlife population in the
world, said WWF's Richard
McLellan, editor-in-chief of
the study.
It refects populations since
1970, the frst year the Lon-
don-based society had com-
prehensive data. Each study
is based on data from at least
four years earlier.
Much of the world's wild-
life has disappeared in what
have been called fve mass
extinctions, which were ofen
associated with giant meteor
strikes. About 90 percent of the
world's species were wiped out
around 252 million years ago.
One such extinction about 66
million years ago killed of the
dinosaurs and three out of four
species on Earth.
In the new WWF study,
hunting and fshing along with
continued losses and deterio-
ration of natural habitats are
identifed as the chief threats
to wildlife populations around
the world. Other primary fac-
tors are global warming, in-
vasive species, pollution and
disease.
"Tis damage is not inevita-
ble but a consequence of the
way we choose to live," said
Ken Norris, science director
at the London society. "Tere
is still hope. Protecting nature
needs focused conservation
action, political will and sup-
port from industry."

Hawktoberfest:
Oct. 1 at Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, Mo.
The Science of Beer and Biodiversity:
Where: Gella’s Diner & Lb. Brewing Company in Hays
When: Oct. 16, 6 p.m.
Where: River City Brewing Company in Wichita
When: Nov. 19, 6 p.m.
Party in the Panorama:
KU Natural History Museum
Oct. 18, 7 p.m.
UPCOMING EVENTS
KU Alumni Association’s third Hawktoberfest
will honor the science behind brewing beer
An unlikely pair, Boulevard
Brewing and the KU Biodiver-
sity Institute and Natural His-
tory Museum, has teamed up
to provide an immersive event
to University alumni. Tonight
the KU Alumni Association
will host the third annual
Hawktoberfest to honor the
science of beer. Te hands-on
experience will be at Boule-
vard Brewing Company in
Kansas City, Mo., from 5:30-
8 p.m. All guests will receive
a commemorative etched
Hawktoberfest pint glass to
take home with them.
University professors will ex-
plain biological processes that
go into the brewing of beer
while Kansas alumni enjoy
Boulevard’s brewing with an
evening of beer tasting. Kan-
sas alumna Jen Humphrey is
the director of external afairs
at the University’s Biodiversity
Institute and organizer for the
event.
Humphrey said the reason
that the biodiversity institute
is partnering with the Alumni
Association for Hawktoberfest
is because many people are not
aware of the work that more
than 120 graduate students
and faculty participate in. Tis
event aims to highlight some
of the University’s achieve-
ments in the biodiversity feld.
One curator who will be
speaking at Hawktoberfest
is University professor Mike
Mort, a botanist who works
in the ecology department.
Benjamin Sikes, a University
professor and microbial ecol-
ogist, will also speak at the
event. Sikes works in the same
department as Mort and spe-
cializes in fungi.
“Most of the work I do is
on fungi that live in soil, and
certainly we talk a lot in the
biology of fungi class about
yeast, and about how we use
diferent kinds of fungi every
day, everything from bread, to
beer, to wine,” Sikes said.
Sikes will focus on fungi
while Mort will speak more
about hops — both of which
are integral ingredients to the
process of brewing beer. Sikes
added that his personal favor-
ite Boulevard beer is Boule-
vard Wheat, but he said he’ll
also drink a Tank Seven from
time to time.
Humphrey said at Hawkto-
berfest people can drink Bou-
levard beer while KU profes-
sors show the plant materials
that go into beer such as hops.
Tese scientists will have in-
formation about hops and
other plants that are biologi-
cally related to hops, such as
cannabis. A microscope will
be available for people to look
more closely at hops.
“Tere will be a table set up
for specimens so that people
can get a little hands-on expe-
rience and that people can see
how biodiversity plays a part
in brewing,” said Jaime Kee-
ler, the assistant to Leonard
Krishtalka, the director at the
KU Biodiversity Institute.
Humphrey said although she
is not personally a scientist,
she’s become interested in the
biology of beer ever since she
got on board with the plan-
ning of the event this year.
“One can study the relation-
ship of a hop crop to all other
plants that are known,” she
said. “By the same token, one
can study yeast species and
existing species to determine
the relationships evolutionari-
ly, as well as the relationships
of the past and today.”
Tough Hawktoberfest is
one of many events the Alum-
ni Association does across the
country, it is the center’s most
immediate Kansas City Chap-
ter event, Humphrey said.
Te Biodiversity Institute is
also doing an event with the
Alumni Association about
the science of beer in Hays on
Oct. 16 and in Wichita on Nov.
19.
“Tis is an opportunity for us
to meet people who have a pas-
sion for the craf of beer, and
are interested in the science
of that, and for them to learn
about the science of biodiversi-
ty at the same time,” Humphrey
said.
Humphrey said the KU Bio-
diversity Institute will be host-
ing a similar event for students
who are of legal drinking age
Oct. 18 called Party in the
Panorama. Te event will be
hosted at the KU Natural His-
tory Museum. Te panorama
that the event’s title refers to is
a 120-year-old wildlife exhib-
it that is visible immediately
when entering the museum.
Tickets are $40 per person and
$75 for couples. Humphrey
said Party in the Panorama will
be the Institute’s biggest event
of the year.

Wal-Mart: Morgan wasn’t
wearing seatbelt in crash
NEWARK, N.J. — Ac-
tor-comedian Tracy Morgan
and other people in a limou-
sine struck from behind by a
Wal-Mart truck on a highway
in June are at least partly to
blame for their injuries be-
cause they weren't wearing
seatbelts, the company said in
a court fling Monday.
Te fling was made in feder-
al court in response to a law-
suit Morgan fled in July over
the accident, which killed his
friend James McNair, who
was accompanying the for-
mer "Saturday Night Live"
and "30 Rock" star back from
a show in Delaware. Morgan
spent several weeks in rehab
with rib and leg injuries.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based
in Bentonville, Ark., said in
the fling that the passengers'
injuries were caused "in whole
or in part" by their "failure to
properly wear an appropriate
available seatbelt restraint de-
vice," which it said constitutes
unreasonable conduct.
An attorney representing
Morgan and the other plain-
tifs called Wal-Mart's conten-
tions "surprising and appall-
ing."
"It's disingenuous," attorney
Benedict Morelli said. "It's not
what they said they were going
to do initially, which was take
full responsibility. I'm very up-
set, not for myself but for the
families I represent."
Te lawsuit seeks a jury trial
and punitive and compensa-
tory damages. It says the retail
giant should have known its
truck driver had been awake
for more than 24 hours before
the crash and that his com-
mute of 700 miles from his
home in Georgia to work in
Delaware was "unreasonable."
It also alleges the driver fell
asleep at the wheel.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman
Brooke Buchanan said in an
email that the company "con-
tinues to stand willing to work
with Mr. Morgan and the other
plaintifs to resolve this mat-
ter."
Passengers Ardley Fuqua
and Jefrey Millea and Mil-
lea's wife, Krista Millea, also
are named as plaintifs in the
lawsuit. Krista Millea was not
in the limousine when the
crash occurred but is a plaintif
because she has a related loss-
of-services lawsuit stemming
from the crash.
Truck driver Kevin Roper, of
Jonesboro, Georgia, pleaded
not guilty to death by auto and
assault by auto charges in state
court. A criminal complaint
also accuses him of not sleep-
ing for more than 24 hours
before the crash, a violation of
New Jersey law.
A report by federal transpor-
tation safety investigators said
Roper was driving 65 mph in
the minute before he slammed
into the limo van. Te speed
limit on that stretch of the New
Jersey Turnpike is 55 mph and
was lowered to 45 mph that
night because of construction.
Roper had been on the job
about 13 1/2 hours at the time
of the crash, the report con-
cluded. Federal rules permit
truck drivers to work up to 14
hours a day, with a maximum
of 11 hours behind the wheel.

Tracy Morgan is responding to allegations made by Wal-Mart in his law-
suit over a highway crash earlier this year that killed one of his friends.
If Katzenberg leaves, what will
become of DreamWorks Animation?
Few executives in Holly-
wood are as closely associ-
ated with their companies
as Jefrey Katzenberg is with
DreamWorks Animation.
Katzenberg, 63, founded the
company with Steven Spiel-
berg and David Gefen in 1994
and oversaw construction of
its Tuscan-style, 13-acre cam-
pus in Glendale, Calif. He also
transformed the studio into
a top producer of animated
movies.
More recently, he has been
leading eforts to diversify
the studio by expanding into
television and other new busi-
nesses to reduce its reliance on
animated movies.
Now, with the company seen
as a possible acquisition target
by Japanese telecommunica-
tions giant SofBank Corp.,
the question is what will be the
future of the company without
Katzenberg?
"He's such a big personal-
ity, it's hard to know what
happens when he goes," said
Doug Creutz, a media analyst
with Cowen & Co. "He has
been the big creative vision
and the strategic vision of the
company. ... I do think that is
the question."
DreamWorks shares Mon-
day jumped 26 percent to
$28.18 on this weekend's news
that SofBank was consider-
ing buying DreamWorks for
$3.4 billion. SofBank and
DreamWorks representatives
declined to discuss the talks.
One person familiar with the
situation said prospects for a
deal were not certain and that
negotiations seemed to have
quieted Monday.
If a sale to SofBank goes
through, any deal probably
would include a fve-year
management contract for
Katzenberg, according to the
person familiar with the situ-
ation, who was not authorized
to speak publicly.
Even if the SofBank deal
should collapse, however, Kat-
zenberg has been laying the
foundation for his eventual
exit and a transition to new
leadership.
Te once famously micro-
managing executive has hand-
ed over day-to-day manage-
ment to others, ceding more
authority to his top lieuten-
ants, studio President Ann
Daly and Chief Creative Of-
cer Bill Damaschke.
Damaschke, a 50-year-
old Chicago native, joined
DreamWorks in 1995 as a pro-
duction assistant before work-
ing his way up to become head
of production for the studio.
Daly, 58, is another Dream-
Works veteran. A former
executive at Disney Studios,
where she worked with Kat-
zenberg, Daly helped pioneer
the home video industry. She
joined DreamWorks in 1997,
serving as chief operating of-
cer and overseeing the compa-
ny's entries into TV and other
ventures.
Last year, Katzenberg re-
cruited Michael Francis, a for-
mer Target Corp. executive,
to head the studio's consumer
products and branding eforts.
He has also hired former Dis-
ney Studios executive Mark
Zoradi to be chief operating
ofcer, and brought Marjo-
rie Cohn from Nickelodeon
to run the studio's television
group.
Katzenberg has "defnitely
been the face of the studio, but
I've got to imagine the studio
can survive without him," said
Eric Wold, an analyst with
B. Riley & Co. "Tey've got a
great team there."
Martin Kaplan, who worked
with Katzenberg at Walt Dis-
ney Co. years ago, said Kat-
zenberg appears to have put a
succession team in place.
"He has put together a cadre
of administrators, artists and
storytellers which has great
bench strength," said Kaplan,
who is now a professor at the
USC Annenberg School for
Communication and Journal-
ism. "It's as close to a turnkey
operation as you could get."
A former executive at Para-
mount, Katzenberg was part
of the team led by Michael
Eisner and Frank Wells that
turned around a struggling
Disney in the 1980s and 1990s.
With his famous work ethic,
the brash young executive led
the revival of Disney's once
vaunted animation unit with
such as hits as "Te Lion King"
and "Te Little Mermaid."
But afer a highly publicized
clash with Eisner, Katzenberg
lef Disney to launch his own
studio with Spielberg and Gef-
fen.
Although DreamWorks nev-
er achieved its goals of creat-
ing a broad-based studio, the
animation division, which
was spun of into a separate
company in 2004, became an
archrival to Disney.
Luring many former col-
leagues from his former
employer, Katzenberg sin-
gle-handedly built the studio
into a industry powerhouse,
achieving success with the
"Shrek," "Kung Fu Panda" and
"Madagascar" movies.
In recent years, however,
Katzenberg has faced grow-
ing questions from investors
as the studio has struggled to
replicate the success of its ear-
lier flms. Te company has
had three write-downs in two
years for "Turbo," "Rise of the
Guardians" and "Mr. Peabody
& Sherman."
DreamWorks has had to
contend with a growing num-
ber of rivals as others have
muscled in on the lucrative
animation business. Univer-
sal Pictures and Warner Bros.
have scored some surprise
box-ofce hits with the "De-
spicable Me" flms and "Te
Lego Movie." And Dream-
Works' next-door neighbor,
Walt Disney Studios, is on a
roll in the wake of "Frozen,"
the highest-grossing animated
movie of all time.
"We have been inconsistent,"
Katzenberg acknowledged in
an interview this year. "Te
only thing I can guarantee you
is we are our harshest critics."
What would Katzenberg do
afer DreamWorks? He would
certainly have plenty of options.
Katzenberg is active in philan-
thropy circles and is one of the
people Democrats court when
they come to Hollywood to
raise money. He is one of the
top contributors to the Dem-
ocratic Party and has the abil-
ity to put the arm on friends
and colleagues when it's time
to raise campaign cash. "For a
person who can move a million
miles a minute, it's a little hard
to imagine him sitting on a ve-
randa sipping something with
an umbrella in it," Kaplan said.

As the Kansas football
team looks for a coach to
replace Charlie Weis in the
next several months, there
are several important factors
to consider.
First, Kansas football
needs someone who can
get the most out of the
quarterback position. Since
Todd Reesing, the Jayhawks
haven’t had someone under
center who commands the
kind of respect needed in
the Big 12. Te new coach
needs to have proven success
getting a feld general to
perform at a high level.
Second, the ofense needs
to be more explosive. Since
Mark Mangino was at
Kansas, the ofensive units
have been fairly stagnant.
Granted, there have been
some talented running
backs as of late, but the
unit as a whole has been
underwhelming.
Tird, and probably the
most important, the new
coach has strong recruiting
ties to the state of Texas.
I understand there are
talented players all over
the country, and the JUCO
transfer model is something
to be cherished, but
everything in Big 12 football
starts in Texas.
With all of those factors
in mind, there is one coach
at the top of my list. When
athletic director Sheahon
Zenger begins going
through his search, a certain
coach will be on his radar.
Tat coach is Phil
Montgomery, the current
ofensive coordinator of
the Baylor Bears. Te Bears
have ranked in the top 10
ofensively since 2008 when
he arrived with Art Briles. In
the past three seasons, they
have ranked frst, second
and second.
As a quarterback coach
Montgomery has been one
of the best in the country
during that stretch. In
three straight seasons he
has coached a diferent
quarterback to national
prestige. Tose names
include Robert Grifn III,
who won the Heisman
Trophy in 2011; Nick
Florence, who was an
Honorable Mention All-
American in his only season
as a starting quarterback;
and frst-year starter Bryce
Petty, who Montgomery
coached to Big 12 Player of
the Year last year.
Montgomery has coached
for about 19 years, and every
single one of those years has
been in the state of Texas.
He began at his alma mater
Tarleton State University,
coached at Stephenville
High School, then he
followed Briles to Houston
and eventually Baylor. In
other words, the guy has
some experience with Texas
recruiting. He knows the
area and is familiar with the
pipelines within the state.
Florence, in an ESPN
article, touted Montgomery
as a player’s coach, a guy
who knows exactly what to
say to get the most out of
his guys without yelling in
their face. He is known as a
reserved guy and someone
who likes to be behind the
scenes.
It may be hard to pull him
out of a great situation in
Baylor but if the University
wants a coach to change the
tide of Jayhawk football,
Montgomery just might be
the perfect coach to do it.

On Sunday, Charlie Weis was
fred from his position as head
coach of the Kansas football
team. Defensive coordinator
Clint Bowen has taken his
place as interim head coach
for the rest of the season, but
the search has begun for Weis’
successor.
Tis may seem like a bit
of a long shot, but Sheahon
Zenger, the athletic director at
the University, should make
Jim Harbaugh the primary
target for the next head coach.
Harbaugh is currently the
coach for the San Francisco
49ers, but he is the best man
for the job.
Te Jayhawks are in a clear
win-now mode. Harbaugh
has shown that he can
immediately win at both the
college and professional level.
As the head coach at Stanford
University, he took the
Cardinal to back-to-back bowl
appearances, with a victory
against Virginia Tech in the
2010 Orange Bowl. He has
enjoyed even more success in
the NFL.
Prior to Harbaugh
becoming the coach in 2011,
the San Francisco 49ers
had languished in years of
mediocrity. Once Harbaugh
took over as head coach, the
49ers put together a 13-3
season and nearly made an
appearance in the Super
Bowl, but lost to the New
York Giants in the NFC
Championship Game. In
2012, Harbaugh took San
Francisco to the Super Bowl,
losing to the Baltimore
Ravens 34-31. In 2013, the
49ers went 12-4 and made a
third-straight appearance in
the NFC Championship game.
Harbaugh was the frst coach
in NFL history to accomplish
this feat.
If he becomes the next coach
of the Jayhawks, Harbaugh
could work wonders with
sophomore quarterback
Montell Cozart. Harbaugh has
become known as something
of a quarterback whisperer,
turning Andrew Luck into a
superstar at Stanford, reviving
Alex Smith’s seemingly dead
career at San Francisco and
turning Colin Kaepernick into
a top-15 NFL quarterback.
It’s not entirely unfeasible for
Harbaugh to make his way to
Kansas. Reports have surfaced
from San Francisco that
Harbaugh may be losing the
faith of the 49ers locker room.
Tere is a chance he could
leave San Francisco at the
conclusion of the 2014 season.
Harbaugh was very close to
becoming Mark Mangino’s
successor at Kansas in 2009
before returning to Stanford.
Harbaugh also has ties to the
area. His wife currently works
in Kansas City, as do most of
his in-laws. In fact, Harbaugh
was in Lawrence earlier this
year to watch the Texas Tech
vs. Kansas basketball game in
Allen Fieldhouse.
Tese reasons provide a
small semblance of hope that
Harbaugh could bring his
football coaching talents to
Lawrence.

Chiefs offense hums in 41-14 rout of Patriots
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Perhaps the Kansas City
Chiefs gave their neighbors
across the parking lot a little
bit of inspiration with their
impassioned performance
against New England.
Jamaal Charles returned
from an ankle injury to score
three touchdowns, Alex Smith
threw for 248 yards and three
scores, and the Chiefs routed
the Patriots 41-14 Monday
night, getting the sports week
of to a smashing start in
Kansas City with the Royals
preparing to open the baseball
playofs on Tuesday.
“To have back-to-back
events like this, Monday night
football and a home playof
game, yeah, it’s special,” Smith
said. “Right next door to each
other.”
Arrowhead Stadium, which
was packed to the brim in
red-clad Chiefs fans, is just
a short walk from Kaufman
Stadium, which will surely be
packed with blue when the
Royals end a 29-year playof
drought against the Oakland
Athletics in the AL wild-card
game.
Several members of the
Royals even showed up for
the Chiefs-Patriots game,
including starting pitcher
James Shields, drawing huge
roars when they were shown
on the big screens. And some
of the Chiefs said they were
thinking about returning the
favor, including wide receiver
Dwayne Bowe.
Regardless, the Chiefs will
be able to spend Tuesday in a
celebratory mood.
Tey held the Patriots’ Tom
Brady to 159 yards passing and
a touchdown, picking him of
twice and returning one for
a touchdown. Brady was also
strip-sacked by Tamba Hali
to set up a Chiefs feld goal,
capping of a miserable night
for the two-time NFL MVP.
“It was just a bad
performance by everybody,”
Brady said. “We need to make
sure we never have this feeling
again. We’ve got to fgure out
what we have to do better.”
Te Chiefs forced the
Patriots to air it out by
stufng Shane Vereen and
Stevan Ridley. And when
Brady dropped back, their
front seven ran roughshod
over New England’s suspect
ofensive line.
It hardly helped the Patriots
ofense that it was trying to
operate on the same night
Chiefs fans were trying to
reclaim the record for loudest
outdoor sports venue. Te
record was set in the frst
half, when Guinness World
Records noted a noise level
of 142.2 decibels — breaking
the mark of 137.6 that Seattle
Seahawks fans set last season.
“My ears are still ringing,”
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said
with a smile.
Kansas City had 303 yards of
ofense by halfime, the most
against any Belichick-coached
team in the frst half of a
game. Tat includes his years
coaching in Cleveland.
“We just never got anything
going. Nothing,” Patriots
defensive tackle Vince Wilfork
said. “Tey just executed.
Tey executed perfectly. We
were always out of the game,
it seemed.”
Here are a few of the
reasons why the Patriots were
thumped so soundly:
RUN, RUN, RUN:
Charles looked just fne
on his sprained right ankle,
running for 92 yards. He was
spelled by Knile Davis, who
added 107 yards on 16 carries.
“We kept each other fresh,”
Davis said. “When he went in,
he did his thing. When I went
in, I did my thing.”
TENSE MOMENT:
Charles briefy went to the
locker room afer stumbling
into the end zone on his
third touchdown of the game.
He appeared to grab his
hamstring, and Reid said he
received an IV, indicating that
he might have been cramping.
“I feel sore,” Charles admitted
aferward.
BRADY’S STRUGGLES:
Brady is completing just 59
percent of his passes through
his frst four games, his worst
rate since becoming the
Patriots’ starter in 2001. He is
also averaging less than 200
yards passing per game. “I
wouldn’t say we’ve had a very
productive four games to start,
but hopefully we can learn
from it and understand the
things that we’re doing wrong,”
he said. “Tere’s nobody going
to dig us out of the hole. We’ve
kind of created it for ourselves
and we’re going to have to look
each other in the eye and see
what kind of commitment
we’re willing to make.”
KELCE STARS:
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce,
who is quickly becoming one
of Smith’s favorite targets, had
eight catches for 93 yards and
a touchdown. “We know what
we can do on our ofense and
our defense,” Kelce said. “Our
defense got a lot of turnovers
today, and that was awesome
to see.”
GAROPPOLO PLAYS:
Rookie quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo got into the
game in the fourth quarter
for New England, when the
outcome was already decided.
He was 6 of 7 for 70 yards with
a touchdown. “I am a relief
pitcher, pretty much,” he said,
“so that is my job.”

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
John Reagan, center, Kansas football’s offensive coordinator, will be in the box during Saturday’s West Virginia
game. Interim head coach Clint Bowen said the bird’s-eye view will help the offense make adjustments.
Olympian Michael Phelps
apologizes for DUI arrest
Saturday’s game will be
different without Weis
Twenty years ago, Clint
Bowen, a then-graduate
assistant for the Kansas
football program, found
himself on a date with his now-
wife at an ice cream parlor on
23rd and Iowa streets. He told
her his ultimate dream job was
to be the head coach of the
Jayhawks.
Sunday morning, Bowen’s
dream became a reality.
“To be standing here today
is truly one of the greatest
honors I’ve ever had in my life,”
Bowen said Monday when he
frst addressed the media. “I’m
prepared for this job.”
Afer posting a 6-22 record
in two seasons and four games,
Charlie Weis was fred Sunday
morning, following a 23-0 loss
to the Texas Longhorns in the
conference season opener.
To lead the charge of a 2-2
Kansas team, athletic director
Sheahon Zenger promoted
Bowen from defensive
coordinator to interim head
coach. Zenger will begin the
search for the next head coach.
In the meantime, Bowen will
have eight games to prove why
he’s the ideal candidate.
Defense has been Bowen’s
football calling card for as long
as he can remember, so it will
be an adjustment for him as he
has more ofensive input going
forward.
“I have [gone] down and
visited with John [Reagan],
and I have no ideas for him,”
Bowen said. “I’m no help.”
But it may come down to
what he can do on the ofensive
end that determines the result
of his eight-game audition for
his dream job.
Other adjustments are the
changes in coaching styles.
In just a few days, Bowen has
already shown tremendous
diferences from Weis.
For example, during press
conferences, Bowen stands
behind a podium, whereas
Weis rocked side to side in his
chair on wheels.
Also, press conferences with
Weis typically lasted around 45
minutes and were flled with
sarcastic answers. Bowen’s
press conference Tuesday was
half that time and flled with
spirit.
But the most intriguing
change between the two
coaches involves ofensive
coordinator John Reagan.
Under Weis’ coaching, Reagan
called the plays on the sideline,
but Bowen has a diferent idea
for Reagan on game days.
“He’s going to go upstairs
into the box and call the
game up there,” Bowen said.
“Which I think he feels is more
comfortable for him.”
Being in the press box is
nothing new to Reagan as that
is what he did when he served
as ofensive coordinator at
Rice University before coming
to Kansas. Te change is
supposed to help the ofense
make adjustments during the
game with Reagan looking
from a birds-eye view.
“We are a youthful or
inexperienced ofense,” Reagan
said. “I think I can help us
more by being upstairs. I think
I can help us more by taking
some of the decisions out of
the quarterbacks’ hands.”
Sophomore quarterback
Montell Cozart hasn’t shown
the strongest ofense. Despite
throwing a career-high four
interceptions against Texas,
Bowen is confdent this will
change.
“Te kid is working as hard
as he can to improve each
week, and we’re all behind
him,” Bowen said.
Bowen’s coaching will be
put to the test in his frst
game Saturday at 3 p.m.
when Kansas travels to
West Virginia. Te Jayhawks
defeated the Mountaineers in
their lone conference victory
last season; the win snapped
a 27-game conference losing
streak.
Tis week, the Jayhawks will
try to snap a 28-game road
losing streak.
“We’re going to address that
during the week,” Bowen said.
“We’re going to begin working
on every single day to go on
the road in a difcult situation
and be mentally tough enough
to come out of it.”

Michael Phelps’ comeback
has been sidetracked by more
trouble away from the pool.
Te Olympic champion was
arrested for the second time
on DUI charges early Tuesday
in his hometown of Baltimore,
another embarrassment for a
swimmer who came out of
retirement this year with his
sights set on competing at the
Rio Games.
Phelps issued an apology
that sounded very familiar
to the ones he made afer
a drunken-driving arrest a
decade ago, as well as when
a British tabloid published
a photograph in 2009
that showed him using a
marijuana pipe.
“I understand the severity
of my actions and take full
responsibility,” Phelps said
in a statement. “I know these
words may not mean much
right now but I am deeply
sorry to everyone I have let
down.”
Maryland Transportation
Authority police charged the
18-time gold medalist afer
ofcers said he was caught
speeding and failed feld
sobriety tests.
Te arrest came about a
month afer the 29-year-old
Phelps won three golds and
two silvers at the Pan Pacifc
Championships in Australia,
setting himself up to compete
at next summer’s world
championships and at Rio in
2016.
It’s too early to say if Phelps
might face sanctions from
USA Swimming, which took
no action afer his 2004 arrest
but suspended him from
competition for three months
over the pot picture.
“Te news regarding
Michael Phelps and his
actions are disappointing and
unquestionably serious,” the
national governing body said
in a statement. “We expect
our athletes to conduct
themselves responsibly in
and out of the pool.”
Te U.S. Olympic
Committee had a similar
reaction. CEO Scott
Blackmun said the
organization was “surprised”
by Phelps’ arrest and
“disappointed on a number of
fronts.”
Phelps was charged with
driving under the infuence,
excessive speed and crossing
double lane lines in the
Fort McHenry Tunnel on
Interstate 95 in Baltimore,
according to the Maryland
Transportation Agency.
If convicted on the DUI
charge, he would face a
maximum penalty of a year
in jail, a $1,000 fne and the
loss of his driver’s license
for six months. Under
Maryland law, the latest case
is not considered a second
ofense because his frst DUI
conviction occurred more
than fve years ago.
Phelps could face the wrath
of his sponsors, though there
was no immediate word of
any company planning to
drop him.
“It’s too early to tell,” said
Don Rockwell, the CEO
of Phelps’ new swimsuit
sponsor, California-based
Aqua Sphere. “For the most
part, we’re supportive. We
just need to wait and see
what happens. Tis is not a
deal-breaker for us, unless we
fnd out something else that
happened.”
Phelps also has deals with
Subway, Under Armour,
Omega and Master Spas.
In early August, Phelps
announced he was ending
his long relationship with
Speedo to sign the deal with
Aqua Sphere. Just last week,
according to Rockwell,
company ofcials were in
Baltimore working with
Phelps on the sizing of his
new suit, which he can begin
wearing at meets starting Jan.
1.
First, he must deal with a
more serious issue.
A Maryland Transportation
Authority police ofcer was
using radar about 1:40 a.m.
when Phelps’ white 2014
Land Rover came through
the tunnel at 84 mph in a 45-
mph zone, the agency said in
a statement.
Te ofcer stopped Phelps
just beyond the tunnel’s toll
plaza.
“Mr. Phelps was identifed
as the driver by his driver’s
license and appeared to
be under the infuence,”
the statement said. “He
was unable to perform
satisfactorily a series of
standard feld sobriety tests.”
Kelly Melhem, a
spokesperson for the
transportation agency, said

Texas Tech could start
freshman QB at K-State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas
Tech coach Klif Kingsbury
has been here before.
Te Red Raiders' second-year
coach has worked with four
freshmen starting quarter-
backs in the past, mostly with
success.
Heading into a matchup at
No. 23 Kansas State on Sat-
urday, Kingsbury might have
to start freshman Patrick Ma-
homes, the Texas Associated
Press Sports Editors football
player of the year in 2013 — in
high school.
Sophomore starter Davis
Webb is probably a game-day
decision afer a shoulder in-
jury to his non-throwing arm
in the fourth quarter of Texas
Tech's 45-35 loss at Oklahoma
State last week.
"Just make sure he can pro-
tect himself, really, and oper-
ate at a level we need him to
operate," Kingsbury said of
what it would take for Webb to
play. "But more than anything,
that he can handle taking a hit
and protect himself."
A sizeable threat to Webb
could be Kansas State defen-
sive end Ryan Miller, who
needs one more sack to enter
the career top 10 for the Wild-
cats (3-1, 1-0 Big 12).
He scrambled up the middle
on third-and-14 and landed
awkwardly on his lef forearm.
He lef the feld briefy with
trainers holding his lef arm
gingerly.
Webb, who ranks eighth na-
tionally in passing yards per
game (339 yards), was not
made available to reporters af-
ter Monday's practice. Kings-
bury said Webb's shoulder was
sore Sunday, three days afer
the Red Raiders (2-2, 0-1) lost
in Stillwater.
Kingsbury's has had success
with previous freshman quar-
terbacks. He coached David
Piland at Houston in 2010,
Johnny Manziel in 2012 at
Texas A&M and Webb and
Baker Mayfeld, who trans-
ferred to Oklahoma, last year.
Tis season, it's Mahomes,
the son of Pat Mahomes, who
played for six major league
baseball teams in an 11-year
career. Afer Webb went out,
Mahomes rushed for 16 yards
on seven carries and threw for
one TD and an interception.
Mahomes is a dual-threat
quarterback, but nothing like
Manziel, Kingsbury said. Ma-
homes' strength is at extending
plays.
"I think he just has that
knack," he said. "Anytime we
put him in, it's not always pret-
ty, but fnds a way to move the
ball down and put it in the end
zone."
Mahomes fgured pitching in
baseball — he also played bas-
ketball at Whitehouse in East
Texas — was his only option
beyond high school. But a Tex-
as Tech assistant just happened
to be there when Mahomes
had an impressive game in a
rainstorm and took over the
starting job in the third game
of his junior season, afer play-
ing safety his sophomore year.
Kingsbury's biggest concern
with Mahomes is protecting
the football, "as you are with
any of those young quarter-
backs."
Bradley Marquez, who leads
the Red Raiders' receiving
corps with six touchdowns,
said Mahomes is no stranger
to starting games.
"Tat being his frst real (col-
lege) game action, I mean, it's
to be expected that things may
not run as smoothly as maybe
they would with Davis, obvi-
ously," the senior receiver said.
"Tere are obviously going to
be nerves, but from the per-
spective as a teammate, I felt
like he wanted to go out there
and do his absolute best."
K
ansas football has lef a lot to
be desired during the opening
month of the season. Te
season began with a narrow victory
against Southeast Missouri State
followed by a Week 2 trip to Durham,
where the Duke Blue Devils made
things pretty ugly for Kansas fans in a
41-3 Jayhawk loss. In Week 3, Kansas
failed to impress but managed to come
away with a 14-point victory against
Central Michigan — a threatening
Mid-American Conference team.
Ten came last week, the beginning
of conference play and a major turning
point in the season. Te Jayhawks
looked good early on against Texas but
were eventually shut out 23-0. Conse-
quently, Charlie Weis was fred as head
coach Sunday morning.
Eight games remain in the Jayhawks’
season, and they will have to win half
those games to become bowl eligible.
Five of Kansas’ eight remaining games
will be played against opponents that
are currently ranked, and the team’s
other three opponents are certainly
not sof.
New interim coach Clint Bowen
brings passion, energy and a defensive
mindset to the Kansas sideline that
can hopefully lead the Jayhawks to a
few more wins. Te team currently sits
at 2-2, so let’s take a look ahead and
see if we can fnd any more wins in the
football team’s menacing schedule.
It’s going to take a small miracle if
Bowen wants to return to Lawrence
victorious afer his frst game this
weekend when the Jayhawks head to
Morgantown to take on West Virginia.
Te Mountaineers, like the Jayhawks,
are also 2-2. However, West Virginia’s
two losses came from the hands of
two top-fve teams in Alabama and
Oklahoma. Teir losses were also close
games; they lost by an average of 11
points.
Last season, Kansas shocked the
Mountaineers in a game that resulted
in swimming goal posts. But this
West Virginia team is stronger and
ready to play.
Te following week the team
returns home for a matchup against
Oklahoma State, a team that is cur-
rently ranked No. 21 in the nation. Te
Cowboys average 40 points per contest
and feature a passing ofense that av-
erages nearly 300 yards per game. Tis
game may stay close for a quarter, but
things could easily get out of hand.
Te next matchup comes on the road
against Texas Tech and provides one of
the best opportunities for success this
season. If the Jayhawks can suppress
the Red Raiders’ passing game that
averages 344 yards per game, Kansas
could get its frst Big 12 road victory
since 2009.
Kansas will then head back to Texas
to take on the Baylor Bears and visit
the new McLane Stadium. Te Bears
are currently ranked No. 7 in the
nation, so admiring the new architec-
ture may be the best part of the trip to
Waco, Texas.
Te matchup Nov. 8 against Iowa
State could be the best chance the
Jayhawks get to win the rest of the
season. Bowen will face an interest-
ing challenge as head of the defense
against former Kansas coach Mark
Mangino, Iowa State’s ofensive coor-
dinator.
Te next three weeks include a home
game against TCU followed by two
road games against No. 4 Oklahoma
and No. 23 Kansas State.
Jayhawk football will most likely win
only one or two games the rest of the
season. Te silver lining is there are
plenty of opportunities for miraculous
upsets, and the team has a new coach
who provides a small bit of hope for
the near future.

Brew: Rest of football season has little promise
Afer being named interim
head coach Sunday, defensive
coordinator Clint Bowen has
an extra ball to juggle as he
heads into one of his toughest
challenges of the young 2014
season.
Along with trying to stop
a West Virginia ofense that
boasts the league’s leader in
total ofense, quarterback
Clint Trickett (395 yards per
game), Bowen will be running
practices and managing the
gameplan on Saturday.
“I am still going to stay
very active and I’m going
to call the defense for the
game,” Bowen said. “We’ve
implemented some plans on
how we’re going to handle the
game management situations
that come up, whether it be
a ‘go for it on a 4th down’,
‘take a time-out here’ or clock
management toward the end
of the half kind of deal.”
With an impromptu press
conference on Monday
morning announcing the
coaching change, the Big
12 coaches teleconference,
a Hawk Talk radio show,
Tuesday’s West Virginia press
conference, and a football
team to coach, Bowen has
hardly had time to breathe.
But he has made it through.
Te Lawrence native credits
current defensive backs
coach, Dave Campo, for
easing the hectic transition
to head coach. Like Bowen,
who spent most of his time in
football as an assistant coach,
Campo was named the head
coach of the Dallas Cowboys
from 2000-2002.
“Dave (Campo) has been
a tremendous resource for
us,” Bowen said. “Te years
of experience that he brings,
it’s always a comforting sight
to see him when you come in
there and you have something
on your mind and you know
you can bounce it of of Dave
and come up with an answer
that comes from years of
experience and wisdom.”
Bowen’s defense has allowed
the sixth least points per
game in the conference
(25.5), but square of against
a Mountaineer team that has
scored 37.5 per contest.
“Tey are very potent,”
Bowen said of West Virginia.
“Tey’re averaging 400
yards passing a game, the
quarterback is playing
exceptionally well. [Te
ofensive linemen] look
like they must have some
nastiness to them. Tey play
hard, they play downhill,
they’re a physical bunch.”
Clint Bowen will be serving
multiple roles for the Jayhawks
for the time being, but he may
not be the only person within
the Kansas program that will
be showcasing his versatility.
“I’ve already made it clear
to this team,” Bowen said.
“As a player on this team you
have a responsibility to do
everything in your power to
help, and that’s every single
one of us, and you will see
frst-line guys on [special
teams].”
Bowen said starting Sunday,
the team had a clean slate top
to bottom.
“Tere’s going to be some
guys that earn things,” Bowen
said. “In this program no
one — players, coaches,
everything is going to be
earned. If they earn them,
they’ll be rewarded. If they
don’t take advantage of
it, then they won’t get the
rewards that they hoped to
get.”

T
he 2015 basketball
recruiting class is pre-
dominantly made up of
big men, 10 out of the top 15
players in the class are either
centers or power forwards.
Te No. 4-ranked power
forward in the class, Cheick
Diallo is the seventh overall
prospect in the country.
Diallo is from Our Savior
New American School in
Centereach, N.Y. Diallo visited
Lawrence on Sept. 19 and has
made three other previous
visits.
Diallo seems to have nar-
rowed his selection down to
Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa State,
St. John’s and Pittsburgh. Te
big man from New York has
hosted coaches from Iowa
State, Kansas and Kentucky.
St. John’s is able to provide
Diallo with a hometown pitch,
while it might not have as
competitive of a program as
the other four schools.
Diallo is on a long list of big
men coach Bill Self is looking
at this recruiting season. Self
has had success recruiting big
men in the past, for example,
Cole Aldrich, Jef Withey,
Tomas Robinson, Joel Embi-
id and now Clif Alexander.
Future150.com describes
Diallo as an aggressive big
man who has dramatically
improved his ofensive game.
He has a lot of energy and has
the potential to be a diference
maker on the defensive and
ofensive sides of the ball.
Te future of Jayhawk
big men is uncertain. Clif
Alexander has said he is open
to staying in college for more
than one season, but his talent
points in a diferent direction.
Junior Jamari Traylor is
another question that could af-
fect recruiting. If Traylor steps
into a bigger role and becomes
a starter, the Jayhawks may not
need to recruit Diallo, on top
of Stephen Zimmerman and
Diamond Stone.
Te 2015 recruiting class is
up in the air. Kansas, Kentucky
and Duke are leading the way
to almost recruiting the entire
top 10, but only time will tell.

UNDER PRESSURE
Afer losing to Oklahoma
in the frst conference match
Saturday night, Kansas volley-
ball now fnds itself in a bit of
a must-win situation Wednes-
day against Kansas State.
It might sound bafing that
the Jayhawks would be in a
must-win match so early in
the season, but seeing that
they play two-time reigning
Big 12 champion Texas Sun-
day, it means getting a confer-
ence win now becomes all the
more important.
If Kansas fails to beat K-State
Wednesday and then goes on
to lose against Texas, it would
be the frst time the Jayhawks
started conference play 0-3
since 2011. Tat season, the
team fnished with its worst
Big 12 record in the past seven
seasons, going 3-13.
Taking into account that
Texas hasn't lost three con-
ference matches since 2006
means Kansas needs a win
against its in-state rivals even
more so.
Freshman setter Ainise
Havili talked Tuesday about
the match against K-State,
noting how big the game will
be for the upperclassmen.
"We defnitely need to get
back on track, and get a win,"
Havili said. "It's a big deal to
the upperclassmen, but I'm
sure it'll be a bigger deal for
the freshmen as the years go
by."
Senior outside hitters Chel-
sea Albers and Sara McClin-
ton have a chance to become
the frst Jayhawks with a win-
ning record against K-State in
the coach Ray Bechard era, or
since 1998.
By beating K-State, it would
give the two girls fve wins
against only two losses, which
would also secure a career
plus .500 winning margin
against the Wildcats.
Getting that win will be eas-
ier said than done, as K-State
has started of its season in
winning fashion like the Jay-
hawks, going 13-2.
Just like Kansas, K-State also
lost its conference opener,
falling to Baylor at home in
fve sets.
Last season, the Wild-
cats were led by two-time
All-American Kaitlynn Pelg-
er, who has since graduated,
leaving a giant hole on the
team.
Now, K-State has turned
its ofense to outside hitters
Kylee Zumach and Brooke
Sassin.
Both players are current-
ly in the top 10 of the Big 12
for kills per set, with Zumach
leading the team at 3.60,
which is good for third in
the Big 12. Sassin comes in at
3.16, which stands at seventh
in the Big 12.
K-State’s redshirt setter Ka-
tie Brand has been just as
impressive, averaging 11.18
assists per set, just .07 ahead
of Kansas setter Ainise Havili.
Te Jayhawks are 4-0 in the
past four Sunfower Show-
down matches, and can win
fve straight against K-State
for the frst time since 1991-
1993.
All that remains to be seen
is if Kansas can continue its
winning trend against the
Wildcats.

Junior midfelder
Liana Salazar and senior
goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
of the University’s soccer
team won ofensive and
defensive players of the
week, respectively, the Big
12 Conference announced
Tuesday.
Salazar, who leads the Big
12 with eight goals, ignited
the ofense this weekend in
Texas, recording a goal and
an assist. It is the second time
this season the junior has won
the award. Stroud has won
the award two previous times.
Both players have played
a crucial part in the team’s
successful 11-1 start.
Friday night against Baylor,
Salazar scored the eventual
game-winning goal in the
19th minute. Te efort helped
secure Kansas’ frst conference
victory of the season. Te
Bogotá, Colombia, native
added her second assist of the
season less than six minutes
into Sunday's match with a
cross to her teammate, senior
midfelder Jamie Fletcher.
Fletcher then redirected the
pass in between the pipes to
facilitate Kansas’ sweep of the
frst two conference games
last weekend.
Coach Mark Francis has
said all season that Salazar is
a unique player and can create
very dangerous ofensive
attacks.
“[Liana] is that type of
player, she can pull special
things like that out,” Francis
said in an interview afer
Kansas defeated Wyoming.
Stroud is of to arguably her
best season in the net for the
crimson and blue, recording
10 wins with seven of those
being shutouts. She hasn’t
allowed an opposing team to
score more than once in any
game this season.
Tis weekend, Stroud
added two shutouts against
conference foes Baylor and
Texas Christian University.
Friday night Stroud saved
seven of the Bears’ shots in a
1-0 win in Waco, Texas, and
followed it up with another
perfect outing Sunday
recording another seven saves
in a 2-0 triumph against TCU.
She brought down her
goals-against percentage to
0.36, and her save percentage
is up to .926. Both marks lead
the Big 12 and place her inside
the top 10 in the NCAA.
Francis said Stroud’s
presence in the goal has been
a vital factor to the team all
season long.
“Tere have been games
where she’s pulled out some
big saves at really, really key
times of the game,” Francis
said afer Sunday’s win. “It’s
nice to know, we haven’t given
up too many goals, but once
they do get past the defense
and create an opportunity, she
makes it really tough for them
to fnish [with a goal].”
