students find safe sex information, condoms at event

sara sneath
ssneath@kansan.com Tabitha Marcotte, a junior from Hays, was handed a free condom and material on sexual education Tuesday. She continued toward her afternoon class, examining the pamphlet and shiny package in her hands. The information does go a lot against the sex ed classes you take in high school, Marcotte said. It tells you a lot that you dont learn there. Sextival runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Thursday in a popup tent on the Stauffer-Flint lawn. The event is put on by the Commission on the Status of Women. Sextival began three years ago as a counterprotest to giant antiabortion billboards located on campus, said Meredith Pavicic, Kansas chapter president of Commission on the Status of Women. Though the billboards are gone, Sextival remains an annual event. The purpose is to educate people about safe sex, positive sexuality and healthy relationships, Pavicic said. Pavicic said the topic of Sextival changes depending on whats going on in the news. This year we have a lot of information about whats going on with reproductive rights in the state of Kansas, Pavicic said. Sextival moved to an earlier date this year due to Commission on the Status of Womens desire to give new University students knowledge regarding reproductive services and healthy relationships as soon as they get to campus, Pavicic said. Wed like to create an environment where students can talk openly about their sexuality and be able to seek the necessary resources, she said. Pacivic said the recent defunding of Kansas Planned Parenthood and regulation changes to termination clinics have been hot topics this year. A Planned Parenthood representative is attending Sextival to give out info on Planned Parenthoods recent defunding and gather support for its legal battles. The clinics in Wichita and Hays were defunded of Title X Funding, which is the Family Planning Program, said Planned Parenthood advocacy and organizing intern, Mark Halastik. We actually have an injunction right now. We are waiting for the next hearing, he said. However, on Monday a judge ordered Planned Parenthoods funding restored, at least temporarily, the Associated Press reported. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten on Tuesday rejected the states request that it pay Planned Parenthood monthly and only for services provided while it appeals his Aug. 1 injunction blocking the law. Last week, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Western Missouri said it would stop providing medical services Friday, Sept. 2, at its clinic in Hays unless it was told it would soon receive the money, the Associated Press reported. Without the funding, Planned Parenthood also intended to discontinue its sliding fee scale for low-income patients at its Wichita clinic. Halastik said students should critically analyze information regarding the defunding of Planned Parenthood. He said the regulation changes to termination clinics and the defunding of Planned Parenthood are two separate issues. A lot of individuals have argued that the Title X funding is going toward termination services, but it is not. It is illegal for that specific service to be paid for by Title X funding, Halastik said. Edited by Jason Bennett

Drivers feel parking pain

adam strunk
astrunk@kansan.com Amie Young, a junior from Olathe, began to panic. In front of her hung the metal arm of a parking gate. Behind her cars began to pile up. She leaned out her car window pushing her ticket into the garages new payment station. Again and again the machine readout flashed error. The metal arm would not budge. Scenes of upset drivers and backed up cars have become more common at the Union Parking Garage. The complaints center on the new electronic gates and payment machines added by KU Parking and Transit in a recent $550,000 remodel of the garage completed Aug. 1. The electronic gates only lift their arms after the drivers have paid for parking or have a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card that now comes with a garage permit purchase. To enter, drivers must also have an RFID card, or take a ticket from the payment machine that allows them to pay upon departure. Some drivers have had trouble getting the gates to recognize the

Mary Kay offers women advice and products

Caitlin Walz stopped by the Kansas Union Tuesday because she wanted the free makeup being given away. Mary Kay representatives were giving students free makeovers on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Walz, a sophomore from Garden City, said she was familiar with Mary Kays line of beauty products. That put Walz outside Mary Kays intended audience Tuesday. The tour aimed at informing college-aged women about Mary Kay products, something few women know about, according to Mary Kay representatives. Based on what we heard from the women we interacted with last year, they actually werent aware of Mary Kay. Very few of them actually knew about Mary Kay or knew about products, Marti Breedlove, manager of advertising, public relations and integrated marketing said. In addition to free stuff, Mary Kay offers a complimentary personal consultation service. Students traveled around to different stations to learn about Mary Kay products and the colors that would work best with each students complexion. Independent personal consultants greeted students at each station and assisted them with color selection as well as how to pick out and apply the makeup that complemented each person. In addition to personalized makeup advice, students were also given goody bags with free samples of Mary Kay products, including

some felt that the number of students who attended the event combined with the consultants attempt to make sure everyone got a turn before having to go to class was detrimental to this process.

Police in Trinidad and Tobago are investigating a 14-year-old girl for making threatening comments about the Caribbean countrys prime minister in an Internet video. Police Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs says the girls remarks on YouTube are being looked into. In the video, the girl makes racial slurs against Prime Minister Kamla PersadBissessar (KAM-la per-SAD BIH-sess-ur). And she says a sniper should leave no evidence in shooting the leader during the governments offensive to dismantle gangs. Gibbs announcment Tuesday comes a day after the prime minister said the girl should not be punished, but should be talked to and helped. Attorney General Anand Ramlogan says he supports the prime ministers decision to forgive the girl.

Bolivias highest court on Tuesday convicted five former top military commanders of genocide for an army crackdown on riots in October 2003 that killed at least 64 civilians. It gave them prison sentences ranging from 10 to 15 years. In a unanimous decision, the six judges of the Supreme Tribunal also convicted two former Cabinet ministers of complicity in the killings and sentenced each to three years. Indicted in the case but not tried was Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, Bolivias president at the time of the killings. He was forced into exile by the widespread popular anger they provoked. Carlos Sanchez Berzain, the thendefense minister, also was indicted but not tried. Bolivian law prohibits trials in absentia and both men live in the United States. A lawyer for Sanchez de Lozada issued a statement calling Bolivias justice system highly politicized and saying that no objective observer can take the sentences seriously.

A Norwegian and 10 Nigerians were among the United Nations staffers killed in a suicide car-bomb attack claimed by a radical Muslim group at the world bodys headquarters in Nigerias capital last week, the U.N. said Tuesday. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon later Tuesday identified the Norwegian staffer as a young woman named Ingrid Midtgaard from Oslo. Authorities have also recovered the bodies of nine non-staffers and three unidentified bodies, the U.N. statement said. The bombing in Abuja on Friday killed 23 people. The U.N. also said it has flown 12 critically injured staffers to South Africa for further medical care. More than 80 people were wounded in the attack, Ban said. U.N. Deputy Secretary-General AshaRose Migiro said Sunday the dead also included a Kenyan and a citizen of Ivory Coast.

Their faces black with coal dust, 19 miners trapped for a week underground were pulled to safety Tuesday in northeastern China as rescuers searched for three missing colleagues. The provincial governor greeted each of the 19 and assured them the rescue work was continuing. We are doing everything we can to save your colleagues, Wang Xiankui said in footage shown on state broadcaster CCTV. Twenty-six miners had been trapped in galleries relatively near the surface when water poured into a shaft on Aug. 23 from an adjacent, flooded mine. Three had been pulled out alive Saturday and one body was recovered. The survivors, who were hospitalized in stable condition, were able to keep their helmet lamps operating for the 165 hours they were trapped. They sustained themselves with water that dripped from the ceiling and later nutrition packs sent through a 920-foot (280-meter) pipe drilled through the rock, which also provided fresh air.

OBITUARY

Kansas remembers Irene leaves major flooding retired professor as wedding guests rescued
BY IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com Graveside service for Hillel Unz, a retired University professor, was held at Bnai Israel cemetery in Eudora on Sunday. Hillel Unz, 82, was a professor of electrical engineering for 40 Unz years until his retirement in 1997. He passed away on Saturday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. His son, Danny Unz, said his father was known at the University as a man with a sense of humor and an informal approach in the classroom. He held at least two patents through his work and he spent time researching Astrophysics after retiring. Hillel Unz was born to Moshe and Rivka Unz on Aug. 15, 1929, in Darmstadt, Germany. His father was originally from the city of Haifa, Israel and the family returned there in 1932. Hillel Unz served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and received his bachelors degree from the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa in 1953. He moved to the United States later that year and received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He moved to Lawrence and began working at the School of Engineering in 1957. Hillel Unz is survived by daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, and daughter-in-law Ariela Unz and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eyal. He was a very curious person, Danny Unz said. I always remember him with a book in his hand. Hillel Unz was preceded in death by his daughter Maya. Survivors include his daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, daughter in-law Ariela and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eyal. Edited by Stefanie Penn BY ASSoCIAtED PRESS At least a dozen wedding guests were airlifted by helicopter from a Vermont town of Pittsfield on Tuesday where they had been stranded since Tropical Storm Irene hit two days earlier, turning rivers into roiling flood waters that washed away the only road leading out of town. Marc Leibowitz and his fiancee, Janina Stegmeyer, were in Germany, snowed in last Christmas when they got engaged and picked the Vermont inn for their rustic farm wedding. Now they were stranded again, with about 60 of their wedding guests. Basically we had an unbelievable wedding. She told me on Saturday night it was the most perfect dream wedding she could have imagined, said Leibowitz, 31, an artist from Brooklyn, N.Y. And then on Sunday morning ... the weather changed. The couple rushed to finish brunch with some of their bridesmaids, despite the owners warning that the road was giving way and that they should move up the mountain. Their four-wheel drive rental car was able to make it over the bridge to the Amee Farm. After we passed, the bridge collapsed, Leibowitz said. To pass the time, the couple and their wedding guests have pitched in around town, shoveling mud from homes, getting supplies to elderly residents living in the hills, and working at the Original General Store, which has become the central gathering place in town. By Tuesday, guests were picking vegetables from the farm to prepare for dinner. Townspeople, who didnt have electricity or phone services, were encouraged to bring perishable food to the general store, where it could be stored in a generator-powered refrigerator. A couple of people have been freaked out and others have been really scared, Leibowitz said. But were trying to keep people calm.

Touchdowns could score library funds

2000 Dole human Developement Center 1000 Sunnyside Ave. Lawrence Kan., 66045

Kansas Athletics will be supporting KU Libraries for a second year in a row through the Touchdown Challenge, the University announced Tuesday. The Touchdown Challenge serves as a fundraiser for the libraries. Individuals who participate in the challenge pledge to pay a certain amount of money for every touchdown the University scores during the football season.

As every one of our football players know, education is the number one priority, coach Turner Gill said in a news release. It is up to each student to stay on top of his grades. The critical support the library provides not only to KU student-athletes, but to the student body as a whole makes that possible. Those interested in making a pledge can visit lib.ku.edu/touchdown.

thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN PARKING | 1

RFID cards, or do not have their payments ready. When payments are ready, the machines occasionally will not take them, as in Youngs case. These events cause lines to form as drivers attempt to exit. We didnt have a great start, said Donna Hultine, director of KU parking and transit, while discussing the new system. People are expecting to get right in and theres sort of a learning curve with this system. User error has also added to the new systems problems. About a week and a half ago, a student, either confused or upset by the system, tried to jam a credit card into the wrong slot of one of the payment machines attached to a gate on the Jayhawk Blvd. entrance, Hultine said. The action broke some of the machinery within the payment station, disabling a gate for a week and costing $5,000 in repairs. Parking and Transit has been working to fix many of the new systems issues. One short-term solution includes the addition of more informational signs about the new system to decrease user error, Hultine said. Another solution goes by the name of Tanya Rezayazdi. Most of the time she can be found on a chair in the middle of the Mississippi street entrance. For 40 hours a week, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., she helps drivers who are unable to get their RFID cards to work, or hands tickets to those who cant reach them from the machine. Basically anyone new coming in, I tell them about the system, she said. Rezayazdi has seen it all from someone actually running into a gate, to the garage system accidentally letting in more cars than it had parking spaces for last Friday. I just gave them the office number, Rezayazdi said of the irate drivers. Rezayazdi is employed on a temporary basis. Neither Rezayazdi nor Hultine knows when Rezayazdis services will no longer be necessary. Besides Rezayazdi, parking and transit also has an intercom system installed in the payment machines allowing students to directly contact the department. Young used this system and after a few minutes was able to get the parking department to remotely lift the gate allowing her to exit. In addition, from 5 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Parking stationed seven employees at entrances and exits of the garage to assist drivers moving in and out of the garage.

1. If you have an RFID card, approach the gate slowly. Make sure your card sits over the loops marked on the ground in front of the gate. A green half crescent will light up and the arm will lift once the machine recognizes your card. 2. If the machine does not recognize your RFID card, try turning it around or moving it closer to the windshield or machine. KU parking and transit offers sleeves which will hold the card on the windshield if problems persist. 3. If you are paying using a ticket be sure to have your payment and ticket ready for the machine before you get there to help other drivers to avoid delays.
SOURCE: KU PaRKing and TRanSiT

CLAIRE hOWARD/KANSAN To operate the new gates, it is necessary to approach slowly and align your car with the ticket reader so that the weight of the car may be sensored. Hultine said there were no back ups or traffic jams. KU Parking and Transit also has more long-term plans to rectify the problems. Hultine said plans are in place to add an additional payment machine, costing $50,000, during the year. Next summer KU Parking and Transit hopes to enable an additional lane on the Mississippi Street exit. Currently at the exit there is one lane in and one lane out. There are two exit lanes and one entrance lane on the Jayhawk Blvd. entrance. Hultine said she thinks eventually people will begin to pick up the system, noting that the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage, with similar electronic gates and payment systems, has had very few problems. Until then the department has been working to pacify upset parkers by sending out multiple emails to permit holders apologizing for inconvenience and coaching them on how to use the system. The department is offering to transfer users permits to different lots if they wish. I am really sorry that their experience isnt good so far, Hultine said. I think that it will just get better. There are surface lots open and I understand that lot 94 isnt full, so if they switch out I will understand. Hultine hopes in the future that parking additions and drivers education on the system will alleviate the current situation. Until these things happen garage users will just have to do something they are becoming increasingly familiar with: wait. Edited by Jonathan Shorman

Why The Change?

Donna Hultine said that the reasons for the remodel and addition of the electronic gates were to decrease department labor, make the garage more user friendly and help students avoid the 9,000 tickets Parking and Transit wrote in the Mississippi Street Parking Garage last year. With the new system, drivers without permits pick up payment tickets upon entering the garage. When they leave they insert the ticket into the payment station and pay by credit card. Since drivers now pay the station upon departure payments are always exact and a car will never run out of parking time. The new electronic gates also insure that all cars parked in the lot will pay for parking in some way or another. The overall construction project included the addition of five new payment stations, the instillation of electronic gates, and the widening of the Jayhawk Blvd. and Mississipi street entrances. The price tag for the project was $550,000 and paid for in total by KU Parking and Transit.

EMPLOYMENT

Jobs offer academic benefits

bY ALExA RUSh
arush@kansan.com As if the multitude of hours dedicated to slaving over classes and homework isnt enough, some students decide to take on that ever-daunting challenge of a parttime job. Many courageous Kansas students have already proved that this load is more than possible to handle, while gracefully maintaining some sense of sanity. The University Career Center is dedicated to helping students find a job that best suits their schedules and interests. Not only do they offer information online about part-time campus jobs, but off campus and full-time jobs as well, which can be viewed at www. kucareerhawk.com. With about 4,700 students working on campus daily, they practically make the essential services possible. From answering phones in the offices, to serving food at Mrs. Es, to desk duty at the Ambler Student Recreation Center Kansas offers a variety of opportunities for everyone. A part-time job can be a great enhancement to a students life, not only because of the income it provides, but also because work experience helps one to gain new skills which can be transferred to a professional career after college, said Ann Hartley, associate director of student employment. College students have a reputation of being thrifty; probing for great sales, searching for free loot on campus and scrounging around for that extra penny anywhere they can. Kaylee Sextro, a junior from Olathe, has been there, done that, and is now working part-time at the rec center. Having a job in college is nice because you make money while going to school, Sextro said. So you hopefully dont have to take out such a large loan. It also gives you money for those groceries and bills. Maintaining a healthy balance between classes and work can sport a challenge for college students. Finding the time to go to classes, finish homework, get enough work hours, spend time with friends, and finding a way to leave room at the end of the day to get enough sleep for the next round can be a trying experience. Becky Allen, a freshman from Topeka, has found herself struggling with this issue and believes that keeping a daily planner, avoiding procrastination and focusing on one thing at a time are all going to help her stay organized and productive. Since I work in catering, the schedule changes weekly, Allen said. Im going to work on my homework around it. Ive noticed that I have to check myself and stay on top of my schedule. Ive also found that to-do lists are always helpful. Hartley said that although holding a job while in school is a great idea, more than 20 hours a week of work piggybacked on top of a fullschool load may actually do more harm than good. Making sure that there is a defined balance between the two is key for a successful academic and financial year. Just remember to leave enough time to study and do well in school, Hartley said.

Museum to open new Jefferson exhibit

The Smithsonians National Museum of African American History and Culture is planning an exhibit with Thomas Jeffersons Monticello to explore the third presidents history with slavery. Museum officials say Jefferson and Slavery at Monticello: Paradox of Liberty will tackle the sensitive subject of slavery during the American Revolution. Jefferson called slavery an abominable crime but was a lifelong slaveholder.

The exhibit announced Tuesday will open in January at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The black history museum is under development and is slated to open in its own building on the National Mall in 2015. At Monticello in Virginia, curators are beginning a long-term restoration of Mulberry Row, which included 21 dwellings for enslaved and free workers at the plantation. An exhibit on Mulberry Row opens in February.

Copperfield wants to buy rare Gypsy

The Gypsy sat for decades in a restaurant amid the Old West kitsch that fills this former gold rush town, her unblinking gaze greeting the tourists who shuffled in from the creaking wooden sidewalk outside. The 100-year-old fortune teller was an extremely rare find. Instead of dispensing a card like Zoltar, the Gypsy would actually speak your fortune from a hidden record player. When you dropped a nickel in the slot, her eyes would flash, her teeth would chatter and her voice would come floating from a tube extending out of the eight-foot-tall box. Word got out when the Montana Heritage Commission began restoring the Gypsy more than five years ago, and collectors realized the machine was one of two or three verbal fortune tellers left in the world. One of those collectors, magician David Copperfield, said he thinks she is even rarer than that. I think its only one of one, Copperfield said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press. Theo Holstein, a California collector and renovator of such machines, said he thinks the Gypsy is wasted in Virginia City and should be placed in a private collection for proper care. The state inherited the Gypsy in 1998 when it paid $6.5 million to buy nearly 250 buildings and their contents in Virginia City and nearby Nevada City from the son of Charles Bovey. The Montana collector spent years buying up the buildings to preserve the two crumbling ghost towns and he stocked them with his ever-growing collection of antique games, music machines and oddities.

Guarding against Brownbacks radicalism

The University of Kansas is a place of learning, creativity and freedom. Unlike the brutal political climate in Washington DC, healthy discussion of diverse viewpoints takes place on the Hill. And for it to stay that way, administrators need to ensure that the ideas and interests of different viewpoints are represented in a fair and equal manner. They also need to be wary of any changes in the Board of Regents fiscal policy. For the most part, the University has accomplished its duty. But with Kansas now heading on a different road, paved by Governer Sam Brownback, administration must remain eager to uphold its own financial interests and student freedoms. Its no secret that Brownbacks politics stretch far right. His history is intertwined with Tea Party representatives. He has pushed faith-based initiatives to support marriage and family in the states welfare agency, and enacted aggressive anti-abortion bills. He also cut big state programs like the art agency. Political interests aside, Brownback is clearly bringing religious and ultra-conservative fiscal elements into state operations. So, while Brownback has recently taken a greater interest in higher education with his high academic goals for regent institutions, administration must play a key role in making sure his religious-conservative policies dont seep into the Universitys operations. It must also provide relief to students who are negatively affected by laws and actions enacted by Brownback. This includes measures like one that has reduced students abilities to get funding through Planned Parenthood, and an initiative to promote marriage and family that excludes gay and lesbian student couples. Lawrence residents already have a shaky history with Brownback when he decided to close the Social and Rehabilitation Services Lawrence center. It took hundreds of protesting residents and funding from the city to keep the center operational. Essentially, a local government ended up paying for a state agency. The slashing of the states art center, and Brownbacks stance that it should be funded by private donations, have led to a loss of $700,000 in endowment grants and trouble for music groups relying on that money. As an institution under the Board of Regents, in which Brownback appoints members, the University is a state operation. This means administration answers to the Board, which answers to Brownback. The University community, like the Lawrence SRS center, can easily be affected by bold changes to state laws. Administration should be wary of changes in the state that threaten the autonomy the University enjoys. This will ensure an equal opportunity atmosphere, and an independent, University focused agenda. Vikaas Shanker for the Kansan Editorial Board

Really gay advice ... on staying dry

I dont know about you guys, but walking up these mountains in this humidity is really cramping my style. By the time I arrive to class, it looks like Ive just given birth; there is just a small line of butt sweat running down the back of my shorts and if I had back fat, my sweat stains would look like tiger stripes. I know its disgusting, and thats why I need to drop this bomb in a public venue, so you too arent avoiding raising your hand in class like the unsure people in the Sure deodorant commercials. Staying dry is a choice, and its my duty, as the gay columnist for the newspaper, to be stereotypical and talk about hygiene and other feminine things, so Ive researched

Talking upcoming superhero films

Lets all pre-judge next years superhero movies. When we were children, we were all taught to never judge a book by its cover. Alas, we do it anyways because sometimes books have awesome covers and we dont care what the Amazon reviews say about its lack of plot and character development. Now, because I have spent more than 22 years complaining a doctor once heard me in the womb saying that my fetal development was okay, but lacked imagination I have developed the ability to complain about things before they have even happened, like a really annoying psychic. This past summer, we were given glimpses of three future superhero movies: The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel. I am not one to keep my gifts to myself, so please join me in prejudging them before they are even done filming. I know were talking comic books here, but I promise you jocks out there that I wont get too nerdy. If I do, feel free to take my lunch money. First up, The Avengers: If you are a nerd, or have nerdy friends, then you saw this much-anticipated teaser trailer. I dont even care that we barely know anything about it. I am pumped for this movie. Besides the fact that its totally going to have Thor hitting things really hard yeah, hitting things! and Samuel L. Jackson saying awesome things like Hello (it sounds awesome when he says it), Im just excited that its really happening and isnt just the fever dream of a million nerd minds. Next, The Dark Knight Rises: Warner Bros. attached a teaser trailer to the front of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and we were treated to exciting images of bad-guy Bane doing sit-ups and then Bane climbing and then Bane walking. Really, just riveting stuff. Warner Bros. also released an image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, to which we collectively said, Huh? In the photo, Hathaway is riding Batmans bat-cycle and wearing Catwomans signature leather jumpsuit, but is noticeably lacking any cat-themed accessories, like ears or claws. That, combined with some bizarre goggles, makes her look less like a diamond thief and more like a hacker/motorcycle bandit from the future (note to self: make movie about hacker/motorcycle bandit from the future). Warner Bros. also released a publicity photo from the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, starring Kevin Costner as Supermans dad and Russell Crowe as Supermans other dad. The photo shows Superman breaking into a bank vault (or something, the picture is really dark) and presumably getting ready to enforce truth and justice among other things. Little is known about the film, so you can just go crazy with speculation. Does the addition of Kevin Costner mean its crossing over with Field of Dreams? Will General Zod discover that Supermans true weakness is hugs? Will I complain to my friends after seeing it? The answers to those questions are: Hopefully, No and Yeah, probably.

would cost relatively little to do so. Libya will not turn into another Iraq or another Afghanistan. The United States assumed a limited, supporting role with the express intent of avoiding a decade-long quagmire. Mr. Bennett provides no evidence for his claims about how long the campaign in Libya may last only a comment about Libya becoming a breeding ground for terrorists and fanatics; an ostensible reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. A quick reminder Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism before the war in 2003 and Afghanistans government was controlled by terrorists prior to 2001. Near the end of the article, a bewildering, disingenuous sentence about corporate and military interests powering neocolonialism in an oil-rich African state, is employed to describe Americas involvement in Libya. This is flippant nonsense. It was an international effort to liberate a country, which has suffered for nearly half a century under the boot heels of a vicious megalomaniac. Frankly, to confuse the two is disturbingly nonsensical. Sincerely, Matthew Johnson Matthew Johnson Student

Dear UDK staff, Theres a series of dramatic indictments in Jason Bennetts recent piece, Freeing Libya and the world is not the USAs job, though each one is either imprudent, misleading, or both. The protection of defenseless civilians is a responsibility that cant be shirked with invocations of contested constitutional scripture or backwards-moral reasoning. The decision to intervene in Libya must be viewed in two complimentary ways as a low-risk, moral imperative, and as a strategically tenable effort to face our international responsibilities alongside our European and Arab allies. First, Bennett complains that the United States has a storied history of disregarding human rights for strategic purposes. The charge is obviously indisputable. So, the more substantive question that readily presents itself is, is American involvement on the behalf of Libyan citizens some-

how hypocritical? Is there something morally inconsistent about attempting to rectify a litany of shameful foreign policy directives, by finally making the right choice and backing the oppressed instead of the oppressors? I should think not. As the article meanders along, it steadily devolves into careless espousals of rehashed anti-war rhetoric and conspiratorial accusations about American imperialism. One of the most incredibly pervasive anti-war arguments of recent memory is, of course, proudly regurgitated, If were going to do Libya, dont we have to do North Korea, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and so on? This line of thinking is baffling. Its virtually impossible to intervene wherever there is strife in the world, but how does this foreclose on the possibility of intervening anywhere? The charge proves especially frivolous when it comes to conflicts that have been sanctioned by the United Nations, the Arab League, our NATO allies, and a broad international consensus. From a strategic point of view, it would be a mistake to ignore such a widely issued call to arms. From a moral point of view, it would be the worst kind of capitulation the failure to protect a long-suffering people from an indiscriminate massacre when it

Jeremiah Hatch said that Gill told them that having a short memory is key to getting through any nervousness.

Classroom lessons prove to be beneficial on the court

KAthLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com In addition to playing hoops on the court, junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior forward Carolyn Davis spent their summer playing in a classroom. Both behavorial science majors, the basketball players would wake up early for morning practice before heading to a four-hour shift at Sunnyside Daycare, in the Dole Human Development Center. Goodrich and Davis taught in classrooms next to each other. When Davis would walk by in search of supplies, Goodrich would hear a little voice excitedly say, There is your best friend. Goodrich laughs now, but this was a near-daily occurrence during their summer practicum. Davis worked with children ages two and three, while Goodrich worked with the next older bracket, preparing children for kindergarten. Little kids are just happy all the time and that makes you happy, Davis said. Davis said she enjoyed circle time and playing outside with the kids because they had so much energy and looked to her for fun. I was the scary monster and I would chase them around, Davis said. Even though she had challenges along the way like potty training, David said she enjoyed her time in the program. Goodrich came to Kansas not knowing what she wanted to do in the future, but at the suggestion of some of her teammates she took an introductory class for behavioral sciences. Goodrich said she loved the class and decided she would continue in the program. It helped me become more open, because I have always been nervous, she said. When she was not teaching skills for kindergarten development, Goodrich played with the kids and even brought in a bas-

Freshmen await answer to eligibility

Three incoming freshman basketball players are still waiting to be academically cleared by the National Collegiate Athletic Association clearinghouse, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. Jamari Traylor, Ben McLemore and Braeden Anderson have yet to arrive in Lawrence as the NCAA looks into each of the players eligibility for this season. More information is needed since each player attended three high schools. Traylor attended two high schools in his hometown of

Chicago before transferring to IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. last season. McLemore attended Wellston High in St. Louis, later transferring to Oak High Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. and then Christian Life Center in Houston. Anderson began his high school career in his hometown of Alberta, Canada. He then transferred to Christian Faith Center in Raleigh, N.C. his junior year and attended Monson Academy in Massachusetts his final year of high school.

It was the second road win of the weekend for Kansas, matching the entire total from last year. The two goals on Aug. 28 against San Diego were the first for Vidal in a Jayhawk uniform. They also propelled her to a tie for fifth for Big 12 scoring leaders.

FrisBee

Frisbee club determined to play at national competition

MAx GooDWIN
The mgoodwin@kansan.com Universitys Ultimate Frisbee Club team known as the HorrorZontals is out for redemption this year. Despite losing at the College Open Regional last season and failing to reach their goal of Nationals, the HorrorZontals have maintained ambitious expectations for the 2011 season. Our goal is to field the best team our program has ever had. said Joe Young, one of the three senior captains of the team, along with Vinny Ciaramataro and Bruce Tuschoff A trip to National quarterfinals would make them the most successful team in the HorrorZontals history, which dates back to 1979. The captains believe that this years team is capable of achieving that level of success. We have an extremely talented team this season. My class, in general, has been with us for four years. Just a really strong senior corps and a bunch of good young guns, Ciaramataro said. Bruce Tuschoff agreed, Weve got a lot of talent coming back, weve got some new talent coming in, and most importantly weve got a lot of experience between the seniors. Practice began Tuesday at Shenk Sports Complex on 23rd and Iowa st. It is recommended to get involved as early in the season as possible, but the HorrorZontals will accept players at any time during the season. The first few practices are pretty lax, trying to get people acclimated to the sport because a lot of the players have never played before, Tuschoff said. At the beginning, practice is going to be kind of different than it will, in say, a month, Young said. But these first few are just going to be very basic throws and then teaching the principle behind the

For those who have only played ultimate frisbee in the park with friends, there are positions in the sport. There are two main positions, one is called a handler and those are the more accurate throwers, usually quicker, and then theres your cutters, which are faster, wide receiver type players, Young said. The first tournament on the HorrorZontals schedule is club sectionals on Sept. 17 and 18. In the four tournaments it will play in this fall, there is not much pressure to win.

the love/hate kinship with entourage

Dear bros and broettes, If you have been following along for the last eight years, you will know that Entourage is coming to a close. With two episodes left, I am sad to see it go. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love how Vince, Drama, E and Turtle are family. I love how it shows that friends and family, mores specifically bros, are more important than anything. I hate how nothing really ever goes wrong with this group. I hate how this group gets pretty much anything they want.

Finally, in the season seven finale, Vince loses it. In this seasons opener, Turtle burns down the house. Ari loses control of his life. His life is all about work, his family is an after thought, and now that Mrs. Ari wants a divorce, Ari doesnt know how to

handle it. Drama is an aging actor that nobody wants to hire. Vinny has projects lined up for him, but the studios dont see Drama playing the part. Now in this season, NBC picks up Johnny Bananas and Drama goes on strike. E and Sloan call off the engagement because E wont sign a prenuptial. E isnt over Sloan, but he sleeps with her ex-stepmother. He has so many emotions for her, that its affecting his professional career and his relationship with business partner Scott Lavin. The show is based loosely

around producer Mark Wahlberg and his group of friends. What makes the series entertaining are the guests that have cameos. Athletes from Tom Brady to Alex Rodriguez have guest starred. Jimmy Kimmel, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Eminem and Bob Saget have also appeared on the show. Saget has to be one of my favorites because we think of him as the loving dad from Full House, but Saget has the mouth of a sailor. Im not able to watch the show Sunday nights, so I am forced to watch it on HBO Go. This week

was different from most, in that, HBO has put up next weeks episode for viewing. Im not going to spoil it, but DAMN. The events that transpired in the short 27 minutes should set up for a grand finale. There are different sub-plots involving all five main characters. It should all be resolved, but I would love to see some sort of curveball. Im also hoping some things arent resolved and the rumors of a possible movie come true. Edited by C.J. Matson

COMMENTARY

uring the 2007 training camp, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton held a mock funeral for the 2006 team he led to the National Football Conference championship game in his first season as head coach. Payton did this in order to help his team forget about the previous years success and allow his team to focus on the season to come. Although he did not match the success of his first season in his second, he did end up leading the Saints to the Super Bowl just a few years later. The time has come for the Jayhawks to do the same with the North Dakota State loss from last season. Similar to Appalachian State always being associated with Michigan, North Dakota State will forever be a black eye to Kansas fans. But now, the time has come to move on. The North Dakota loss was the lousiest part of last season and it was sad to see that high points were few and far between. However, that loss did carry significance. Gone were the days where the Jayhawks could roll over on cupcake opponents and still emerge victorious. That day proved that every game from then on would be a struggle if Kansas wanted to win. It was as if the Jayhawks had reentered the dark days of the 1980s, where bowl game appearances were separated by an 11-year-stretch. But this years team is different from the team that dropped that awful game, which turned into a dark foreshadowing of the season that followed. Entering last season, the coaching staff was unsure of what they had, whom they had and how to use them. Now in their second season, the Gill staff knows what they are working with and they have personally seen many of the players in action, against real opponents. Toben Opurum has had the opportunity to have a full-year as linebacker at the college level. The Jayhawks have an established rusher in James Sims, Kale Pick is invoking comparisons to Kerry Meier and Jordan Webb has gametime experience under center. The players havent been dwelling on the loss. Now it is time for the fans to do the same thing. Collectively, Jayhawk fans need to hold a funeral of their own for that North Dakota State game. Push it out of their memories. On Friday night, pour a shot on the ground to the ghosts of memorial stadium. Forget the loss ever happened. McNeese State is a talented football team that should not be taken lightly, but it is not unreasonable to expect the Jayhawks to emerge from Saturday unscathed in the standings. While the Jayhawks should never forget the lessons they learned on Sept. 4, 2010, its time to put them out of sight and out of mind, as they focus on the new season that sits at the doorstep.

Texas A&M still exploring options

Texas A&M denied Mondays New York Times report that it notified the Big 12 of its intention to leave the athletic conference. According to the report, Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin informed Big 12 board chairman Brady Deaton that the Aggies would officially withdraw from the Big 12 on Tuesday. According to USA Today, the Big 12 also confirmed that it has yet to receive official word, but that the conference is actively considering its future plans. The reports follow another volatile week for the Big 12 after Loftin sent a letter to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe explaining that Texas A&M is exploring its options for its athletic conference affiliation and asking the conference about the procedure for withdrawal. On Monday, the Aggies received a letter from the Big 12 outlining the procedures for withdrawal. Texas A&M has been linked with the Southeastern Conference throughout the month of August despite SEC officials stating their satisfaction with the current 12 team alignment following a meeting on Aug 13.
