Social equity director
bill sent back to Rights
Committee
In the weekly meeting, Student
Senate decided to push the bill to
create and fund a Social Equity Di-
rector position back to the Rights
Committee at the urging of Student
Body President Morgan Said. It was
the rst full-cycle meeting since
switching from interim senate last
week.
Initially, it appeared that the vote
failed last week in Rights Com-
mittee, but later that night Said
said she, along with Student Body
Vice President Miranda Wagner
and Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota,
checked the vote and discovered it
had been counted incorrectly. The
vote had actually passed by an
exact two-thirds majority, but be-
cause of the confusion, Said said
she wanted to bring it back to the
committee to hold a revote to clarify
the situation.
We have on record that it did
pass with a two-thirds vote, but
because it was announced as a fail
in the committee, we just want to
make sure were being as transpar-
ent as possible with our committee
members, our senators and the stu-
dent body at large, Said said.
The senate also voted on legis-
lation that would redene the de-
velopment director position within
Student Senate executive staff that
was presented by current Develop-
ment Director Zach George. George
said that the position has only been
around for ve years and tends to
change with each administration.
The positions main priority will now
be platform execution. The develop-
ment director used to also work with
senate alumni outreach as well.
Will Admussen, government rela-
tions director, is currently working
on voter registration and the sen-
ators will table on campus during
Civic Engagement Week at the Uni-
versity starting Sept. 30.

Improvements mean upgraded education
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Capital improvements to
the University next year will
mean better facilities and op-
portunities for undergraduate
students.
Earlier this month, a leg-
islative panel endorsed the
Universitys budget requests
for next year. Te $92 million
budget will pay for new facil-
ities and updates in the Uni-
versitys next fscal year, which
starts in July 2015. Te budget
includes updates to under-
graduate buildings like Sum-
merfeld Hall and money for
the new Daisy Hill residence
hall.
New facilities could mean
more prominence and pres-
tige, said Lindsey Douglas,
director of state relations for
the University. While many
current students will graduate
before projects are done, she
said the improvements will
enhance the value of their ed-
ucation.
If we are raising the prom-
inence of the University,
raising the reputation of the
University, we are making
better the value of the degrees
of the students that graduate
in 10 years and the students
who graduated two years ago,
Douglas said.
Projects like the new en-
gineering building on 15th
Street not only raise the stat-
ure of the University, but help
the state. Tim Caboni, vice
chancellor for Public Afairs,
said the engineering building
was built because the state of
Kansas had a need for more
qualifed engineers.
One of the great things
universities can do is address
state and economic needs of
the state, Caboni said.
In addition to the improve-
ments in this years request,
the University is currently
planning for an addition to
Lindley Hall, new feldhouse
apartments and a new busi-
ness school. Caboni said the
projects, which resulted from
the Universitys strategic plan,
Bold Aspirations, could also
build the Universitys research
portfolio and provide more
opportunities for undergrad-
uate and graduate students.
Caboni said research is an es-
sential part of the undergrad-
uate experience.
While young undergradu-
ates may not have a career in
research ahead of them, all
of those skills are applicable
to sales, marketing, teach-
ing, social work just about
any career one can imagine,
someone could beneft from
undergraduate research, Ca-
boni said.
Te Universitys capital im-
provements request included
electrical maintenance, partial
remodeling of Summerfeld
Hall, renovation of Corbin
Hall and parking projects.
Te largest portion will be set
aside for the new residence
hall on Daisy Hill.
At the start of the Kansas
legislatures session in January,
the governor will announce
his budget recommendations,
the legislature will hear pre-
sentations from universities
and the legislature will pass
fnal budget bills to be signed
by the governor.

Construction continues on one of the new residence halls on Daisy Hill on Wednesday. This month, a legislative panel endorsed a $92 million budget
request by the University, which will pay for new facilities and updates to campus.
L
ast week, as I sat
down in one of
my usual Tuesday/
Thursday classes,
something out of the
ordinary occurred. Our
professor was late to class,
which isnt a big deal in
most classes, but we have
a disabled student who
requires help from the
professor to set up his
desk in the front.
As the students came in
and found the desk was
not ready for this student,
we were in an awkward
and uncomfortable
position, we knew the
student was not able
to arrange his desk by
himself. This didnt
happen in the back of
class where no one can
see what was happening;
this happened in the front
of the room, visible to
everyone.
As I looked at the
student in need of a desk
and the students who
had already sat down in
theirs, I realized everyone
was aware of the issue
but did nothing about
it including myself.
Eventually a young man
in our class had gotten up
out of his seat and walked
down to the front, pulling
out a desk for the student
in the wheelchair.
Ever since that day,
someone will almost
immediately arrange a
desk for this particular
student when before, the
professor would have to
make the arrangements.
Because of that one
student, people have
started to help out
someone who couldnt do
something for themselves.
The point is, never think
your acts of kindness are
wasted on jerks, or go
unnoticed. The world has
a lot of rude and bitter
people, but the world also
has people who watch and
recognize good acts when
they see them being done.
Who knows, maybe next
time you do something
nice for someone else,
youll have an article
written about you in the
paper.

College courses should teach more than academics
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
I
ts easy to say a
person can learn
quite a bit in college.
In almost any type of
field of study, a student
can greatly enhance
their knowledge about
that particular subject,
whether it relates to
calculus, biology or
economics. Thats the
point of college to grow
in a wide range of subjects
and to be the best,
well-rounded student as
possible, while having
the ability to become
specialized in a specific
subject. That is good,
but while youre being
prepared for a career,
theres one thing college
is neglecting to teach you
and thats how to deal
with everyday issues.
How many college
students know how to
change the oil in their
car, or the spark plugs,
or even know how to
jump their cars when the
battery is dead? I bet there
arent many (outside of
mechanical engineers)
who can do these tasks by
themselves. Most people
rely solely on AAA or
dealerships to fix their
problems, which costs
money and time.
How many of you can
balance a checkbook, set
up a mortgage or even
sew a button back onto
a shirt? With online
banking, tailors and
reliance on parents, these
everyday skills are being
lost among Millennials.
Even little things
seem to be unknown to
college kids during and
after school, like how
to do laundry properly
or how to cook and eat
healthier. Its great that
students know how to
find the second derivative,
read DNA and how to
trace the roots of the
environmental movement,
but students need to know
basic survival skills for
when college is over and
they become part of the
real world.
Lets be honest, unless
your job requires it,
what skill is the average
student going to use
more being able to sew
a button or being able to
find the second and third
derivative? I recommend
the University require
students to take one
course on how to learn
these skills. Students
should be knowledgeable
in both academics and
life skills, creating a real,
well-rounded student.

Should KU offer life skills

Student wins national book collecting contest
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Katya Soll has had a passion
for Spanish and Latin Amer-
ican theater since she was in
middle school. Soll, a grad-
uate student from St. Louis,
materialized her passion into
a collection of more than 100
books and programs from
plays she saw personally. She
not only entered her collec-
tion into the National Colle-
giate Book Collecting Con-
test, but she also won.
Soll said it started with a KU
competition called the Sny-
der Book Collecting Contest.
Te Snyder is a competition
through KU Libraries for
people who have built up a
collection of books and other
materials on a specifc topic.
Soll won the competition
with her impressive collection
of books and programs relat-
ed to Latin American theater.
Afer winning the Snyder
Book Collecting Competi-
tion, Soll was eligible for the
national contest through the
Antiquarian Booksellers As-
sociation of America and the
Library of Congress.
I fgured why not, I al-
ready did the work, lets go
ahead and submit it, Soll
said. Tat was back in the
spring, and then they got in
touch with me in August to
tell me that I won.
When Soll found out she
won the national contest,
she was completely stunned.
She said she hadnt expected
to win anything, so she was
pleasantly surprised. Te na-
tional contest awarded her
with a $2,500 prize, as well as
a $1,000 prize for KU Librar-
ies.
LeAnn Meyer, communica-
tions coordinator for KU Li-
braries, said she was glad Soll
won the national contest.
It was defnitely exciting for
KU Libraries, as well as the
University as a whole, Mey-
er said. Her winning goes to
raise the profle of the Univer-
sitys libraries, as well as speak
for the prestige of the Snyder
competition itself.
Soll always had an interest
in collecting, but didnt pick
up most of the materials in
her collection until her trip
to South America last sum-
mer, which included stops in
Argentina and Chile. While
there, she said she browsed
bookstores, collected pro-
grams from the nearly 60
plays she saw and stufed all
she could ft in her suitcase.
Tere was a limit for the
Snyder competition, Soll
said. You could only show
a maximum of 50 items, and
that was really cutting it down
for me. I probably have at
least twice that much in my
overall collection.
Te art of Spanish and Latin
American theater is a special-
ized feld, Soll said. In the U.S.,
acquiring books about Argen-
tinean theater is difcult and
can be expensive. While Soll
was in South America, she
knew she needed to pick up as
many materials as she could
to build her collection.
Soll began taking Spanish
classes in middle school and
immediately fell in love with
the language.
I was going through a
phase where I refused to take
anything that my older sister
had taken, so by default I end-
ed up with Spanish, and then
I just fell in love with it and
kept going, Soll said.
Soll currently teaches el-
ementary Spanish at the
University and hopes to in-
spire her students the way
her classes inspired her. She
received her undergraduate
degree double majoring in
theater and Spanish.
For her, the theater major
was more important because
she knew that was something
she wanted to do for the rest
of her life. She said Spanish
was just something she en-
joyed and continued to take.
I would notice in my the-
ater classes we barely talked
at all about Spanish and Latin
American plays, Soll said. I
think our textbook for theater
history had one paragraph on
Latin America, and mean-
while I was taking a course
where I was reading two plays
a week and they were amaz-
ing, so I got really interested
in translation and translating
plays.
She said she then began
reading more Latin American
plays, which sparked a fasci-
nation with helping other
English speakers learn about
them as well.
Once Soll realized she could
combine her love for Spanish
and theater, she decided she
wanted to learn more about
Spanish and Latin American
theatre and decided to attend
graduate school for Spanish.
I love discovering a new au-
thor or a new play, Soll said.
Not only does it expand my
understanding of theater and
theatrical culture in these
countries, but they are in-
credible and insightful works
of art and literature as well.

Sophomore Savannah Zielinski models on Massachusetts Street. Zielinski
has returned to modeling after a seven-year absence and will walk for
three different designers during Kansas City Fashion Week.
Sophomore Savannah Zie-
linski was in seventh grade
when she met with a New
York modeling agent and was
told she needed to lose 10
pounds.
Its defnitely hard to be re-
silient when someone looks
at you and says, youre not
skinny enough when I was
perfectly healthy, Zielinski
said. I took that and realized
its not worth it.
So she stepped out of the
modeling world.
Zielinski attended the Uni-
versity in 2012 before moving
to Princeton, N.J., for a year
with her boyfriend. Zielinski
returned to the University
this fall to study music edu-
cation and, afer being out of
the game for seven years, she
also returned to modeling.
Zielinski said she felt her ca-
reer would be more success-
ful now that she was older.
Most recently, she tagged
along with a friend to audi-
tion for Kansas City Fashion
Week.
Tat friend was McCartney
Payton of Kansas City, Mo.
Payton has participated in
Fashion Week before and in-
vited Zielinski to auditions.
I told her this would be a
great opportunity for her be-
cause she just recently moved
back to Kansas City and she
wanted to get back into it,
Payton said.
Zielinski and Payton are
walking for multiple design-
ers, starting this Friday. Both
will walk together for Little
Shell Designs and Meredith
Lockhart, both of which Zie-
linski met through her recent
work getting back into the
modeling world.
Once I was chosen to walk
for [the designers] I was so
excited, she said. Its a huge
event and its another place to
network and fnd more peo-
ple to work with and more
jobs.
Te benefts of networking
and learning from experience
come with a few sacrifces
as well that Zielinski has to
make as a student. As a mod-
el, she is unpaid for her con-
tribution to the shows.
I live in Lawrence so driv-
ing to Kansas City defnitely
makes it more costly because
I am paying for gas every
time, Zielinski said. I am
walking for three diferent
designers so Im going to be
driving to Kansas City three
times in one weekend. I am
one of those stereotypical
broke college students.
However, Zielinski said she
is okay with the fact she will
have to make sacrifces be-
cause Fashion Week is such
an important event.
Its really important, es-
pecially for the Kansas City
designers, Zielinski said. To
make an established event
that the designers of Kansas
City can go to and show of
and make noise about their
designs. Tats important.
From a modeling aspect, its
important to be seen and to
be doing big events.
Although Zielinski said
Fashion Week is a great place
to network for jobs, she also
said the experience is bene-
fcial.
Something always hap-
pens, she said. Ive been in
a fashion show where a girl
almost fell of the stage. Ive
been in a fashion show where
I actually tripped. Its difer-
ent practicing and doing your
rehearsals. When everyone is
watching things will happen
out of nerves.
Zielinski said she is most
excited to work with Althea
Harper because she has not
seen Harpers entire collec-
tion yet. Payton is also ex-
cited to work with designers
and showcase their styles on
the runway.
Walking down the runway
is honestly so exhilarating,
theres so much adrenaline,
Payton said. Its so quick but
it feels like forever.
In stark contrast to her sev-
enth grade experience with a
harsh critic, Zielinski said be-
ing on stage gives her a sense
of strength and confdence.
Its very empowering. No
matter how insecure you may
be in real life, when you get
on the stage you are a model,
she said. You are confdent
and for all intents and pur-
poses you are a blank canvas.
You get to be this awesome
confdent person whether
thats in your normal day-to-
day persona or if its not who
you really are. When you get
on that stage, its who you
are.

Tigers beat White Sox 6-1, clinch postseason spot
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Te Detroit Ti-
gers looked dormant with the
bats until a pitch from Chica-
gos Chris Sale hit Victor Mar-
tinez around the back of his
lef shoulder.
Ten tempers fared, the
benches and bullpens emptied
and Sales shutout didnt last
much longer.
Martinez came around to
score the tying run in the sixth
inning, and afer Sale came out
of the game, Chicagos bullpen
was no match for the Tigers.
Detroit won 6-1 on Wednes-
day and clinched a spot in
the postseason when Seattle
lost to Toronto.
Te worst the Tigers can end
up with now is a wild card.
Detroit is trying for its fourth
straight AL Central crown,
and the Tigers took a 1 1/2-
game lead over second-place
Kansas City, with the Royals
playing later Wednesday.
With one out in the sixth
and Chicago up 1-0, Sales frst
pitch to Martinez hit the De-
troit slugger. Martinez walked
slowly to frst, and the two
started jawing at each other.
Sale appeared to point out to-
ward center feld in agitated
fashion as Martinez went to
frst.
Tey were claiming that
someone with binoculars in
center feld was giving signs to
Victor, Tigers manager Brad
Ausmus said. I think its a
little weak that they would hit
him. If they injure Victor there
and were in the playof hunt,
thats bad news. Tat just cant
happen.
He clearly did it on purpose.
He made it obvious.
Sale didnt accuse the Tigers
of stealing signs aferward, and
he said he wasnt specifcally
gesturing toward center feld.
I was just throwing my arms
up, like you do when you are
upset, the lef-hander said. I
wasnt really trying to control
where they pointed.
Sale appeared to tip his hat
toward the outfeld in the third
inning afer striking out Mar-
tinez.
Tere was a fan that was just
wearing me out in the bullpen
before the game, telling me
that I wasnt any good, and tell-
ing me how much Victor was
going to hit me, Sale said. So
that was just having some fun
with him.
Justin Verlander (15-12) al-
lowed a run in eight innings
for Detroit.
Sale allowed a run and four
hits in six innings. He struck
out 10 and walked three, be-
coming his franchises career
leader with his 18th game of
at least 10 strikeouts. Ed Walsh
had 17.
But Chicagos slim lead
slipped away afer he hit Mar-
tinez.
I think he just woke the
whole team up, said Martinez,
who is 15 of 29 for his career
of Sale.
Te benches and bullpens
emptied, but order was quick-
ly restored. J.D. Martinez fol-
lowed with a double and Nick
Castellanos hit a sacrifce fy to
tie it at 1.
Ian Kinslers RBI double the
following inning of Javy Guer-
ra (2-4) put Detroit ahead, and
when Kinsler reached second,
he put his hands up in front of
his eyes, pantomiming some-
one looking through binocu-
lars.
Miguel Cabrera added a sac-
rifce fy in the seventh. Detroit
scored three runs in the eighth
on a well-executed squeeze
play by Andrew Romine and
RBI singles by Rajai Davis and
Kinsler.
Cabrera struck out four
times, only the third time in
his career thats happened and
the frst time since Sept. 17,
2010.
QUALITY START
Te brouhaha involving Sale
and Martinez overshadowed
another fne outing by Ver-
lander, who allowed seven hits
and struck out six.
Verlander (15-12) has not
been at his best this year, but
the former Cy Young Award
winner has made it to the
eighth inning in back-to-back
starts.
I think I was getting ahead
of guys good fastball con-
trol, good life on the fastball,
Verlander said.
AMONG THE LEADERS
Tis was Sales last start of the
season, and he fnishes with a
2.17 ERA, which will almost
surely be good enough to win
the American League ERA ti-
tle. Seattles Felix Hernandez is
at 2.34.
TRAINERS ROOM
White Sox: Afer the
bench-clearing incident, Sale
pitched the rest of the sixth
before being pulled afer 101
pitches. Manager Robin Ven-
tura was already trying to ease
the lef-hander into the of-
season. Sale fnishes the year
at 174 innings afer missing a
month early on with a muscle
strain near his lef elbow.
Tigers: Detroit RHP Anibal
Sanchez (pectoral strain) still
has not pitched since being
activated from the disabled
list before Tuesdays game. Hes
now part of the Tigers bullpen
but was not used Wednesday.
UP NEXT
White Sox: White Sox LHP
Jose Quintana (9-10) fac-
es Kansas City RHP James
Shields (14-8) on Tursday
night.
Tigers: Tigers RHP Max
Scherzer (17-5) takes the
mound against Twins RHP
Trevor May (3-5) on Tursday
night.
The Kansan sports editors and
football beat writers try to guess
the outcome of Kansas rst confer-
ence game of the season. Associate
sports editor Blair Sheade is the
only one predicting a Kansas win,
thinking the Jayhawk running game
will make a difference. Everyone
else thinks the Texas defense will
be too tough for the Kansas offense
to muster enough points. No one
thinks the Jayhawks will lose by
more than three touchdowns.

Montell Cozart, So.
Quarterback
Overall, Cozart had an up-and-down nonconference performance. Cozart completed 23 of 33 passes
for two touchdowns and one interception against Central Michigan. An important question this week
is how Cozart will perform against a stout Texas defense looking to take away the short throws.
Corey Avery, Fr.
Running back
Avery continues to show a lot of potential, especially paired alongside DeAndre Mann as a two-head-
ed attack. He caught his rst receiving touchdown against CMU, but only rushed for 35 yards.
McCay had his best game in a Jayhawk uniform against CMU. He caught a fourth-quarter touchdown
pass that coach Charlie Weis called the turning point. This week, it will be seen if he can become a
consistent option for Cozart.

Te No. 23 Kansas volleyball
team (12-2) kicks of its Big 12
Conference schedule when it
travels to Norman to take on
Oklahoma (9-4) this Saturday.
Te Jayhawks are coming of a
strong showing at last week-
ends Jayhawk Classic, sweep-
ing their three games at the
Horejsi Family Athletic Center
with relative ease.
Te big question heading
into the season was exactly
how Kansas seven newcom-
ers would mesh with a squad
coming of its best season in
program history, and the early
answer seems to be very well.
Freshman outside hitter
Madison Rigdon has likely
been the most signifcant of
the bunch thus far. Her perfor-
mance last weekend (4.18 kills
per set on a .301 kill percent-
age) was enough to earn her
Big 12 Ofensive Player of the
Week honors, becoming the
frst freshman to do so since
2012.
Weve been very pleased
with Madison and how she has
developed through the non-
conference part of our sched-
ule, coach Ray Bechard said.
I dont want to say that she is a
surprise because we knew the
type of talent she would bring
to the table, but with her po-
sition being deep with upper-
classmen, her emergence has
been really good to see.
Freshman setter Ainise Havi-
li and freshman middle block-
er Kayla Cheadle have also
made their presence evident
early in the season. Havili has
proven to be a key component
of the ofense, routinely setting
up the Jayhawks outside hit-
ters with good opportunities at
the net. Her 558 assists (11.16
per set) are third-best in the
Big 12. Cheadle has been im-
pressively consistent thus far;
her .373 kill percentage and 43
blocks (.9 per set) lead all Kan-
sas players. Rigdon and Havili
were the two big names among
Bechards seven newcomers,
but Cheadle is quietly carving
out a niche on this Jayhawk
squad.
As for the Sooners, they start-
ed the season of hot, winning
nine of their frst 11 matches,
but theyve dropped their last
two heading into their match-
up with the Jayhawks. Okla-
homa was crushed by Duke
the last time out, dropping the
match in straight sets: 18-25,
15-25, 20-25.
Te Sooners are led by junior
outside hitter Kierra Holst
and sophomore outside hitter
Kimmy Gardner. Holst started
every match for the Sooners in
2013, and leads the team with
148 kills on a .244 kill per-
centage this year. She was the
lone bright spot for Oklahoma
against Duke, registering fve
digs and a team-high 13 kills.
Gardner, a transfer from Mis-
sissippi State, is second among
all starters in both kills (141)
and kill percentage (.305) in
her frst season in Norman.
Te match is scheduled to
begin at 7 p.m. at Oklahomas
McCasland Field House, with
the game being televised on
Fox College Sports Central.
