Bernadette
Gray-Little spoke about sexual assault, campus safety and
the academic scandal at the
University of North Carolina
on Monday afternoon.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Chancellor Gray-Little approved an immediate change
in the Code of Student Rights
and Responsibilities that clarifies the Universitys ability
to exercise jurisdiction over
violations of the nondiscrimination and sexual harassment
policies on Monday.
The change does not create
new jurisdiction or change
student rights.
It clarifies what actions the
University can discipline students for, depending on the
location of the incident. Under Title IX legislation, the
University can discipline students during off-campus incidents if the incidents involve
sexual assault or discrimination. While this has always
been included in Title IX, the
University hadnt explicitly
stated in the Code of Student
Rights and Responsibilities
until now.
The changes come in response to a Douglas County
Court ruling that said the
code was unclear about the
jurisdiction of sexual assault
and harassment cases. The
University will be appealing
this ruling before the end of
the year.
I have taken action today
[Monday] in order to immediately ensure that our authority
to enforce Title IX and keep
students safe is clear and unambiguous, Gray-Little wrote
in a letter to the provost, the
vice provost for student affairs
and the student body president.
Since the beginning of the
sexual assault discussion this
semester, the chancellor has
been involved in an increased
number of discussions about
the nature of sexual assaults

on campus and their complexities.

In all instances there were
people who were sincerely
expressing a concern about
the issue and how were addressing them, so I think they
have mostly been expressions
of concern and support for
things to go well as a university community as a whole,
Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said these discussions have been mostly informational, but there has been
changes within the University
to address the concerns, including a review of sexual assault education.
There have been efforts
in Student Affairs through
the Provosts office to look at
what kind of educational programs will really be helpful,
Gray-Little said.
CAMPUS SAFETY
This year campus safety
reports included building
checks, which will be used to
determine what options are
viable for complying with the
state concealed carry law that
will go into effect for public
universities in 2017. These
reports were presented to the
Kansas Board of Regents last
week.

BERNDATTE GRAY-LITTLE
Chancellor

As of right now, the University will have to allow

concealed weapons once the
exemption ends because the
costs of monitoring all of the
buildings on campus are too
high, unless the Board of Regents takes actions to prevent
it, the chancellor said.

OPINION 4

The Ferguson grand jury

decided not to indict Darren Wilson on any criminal
charges for the August killing of unarmed teen Michael
Brown.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced the decision
shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 24
in a statement to the press and
public. According to McCulloch, the grand jury decided
there was no probable cause
to indict Wilson on criminal
charges.
Crowds in Ferguson reacted
with anger and disappointment while the president and
Browns parents urged protesters to remain peaceful

following the announcement.

Live news broadcasts showed
protesters throwing objects at
law enforcement and trying to
turn over a squad car. Around
9 p.m. St. Louis County police confirmed on Twitter that
shots were fired near the police department in Ferguson,
and later that hour, a police
car was set on fire. Police responded by using tear gas,
flash bangs and bean bags
against protesters.
President Obama addressed
the nation shortly after 9
p.m. urging people to remain
peaceful in their protest of the
announcement.
I also appeal to the law enforcement officers in Ferguson
to show care and restraint in
managing peaceful protests,
Obama said.

According to the address,

witness accounts described
multiple scenarios that varied
from one another on multiple
points including the placement of Browns hands despite
a commonly held opinion that
his hands were above his head
in a surrendering pose.
McCulloch said in his statement that he expected many
to be disappointed and not
agree with the lack of indictment, but that it was the duty
of the grand jury to look at the
evidence they were given.
All decisions in the criminal
justice system must be determined by the physical and scientific evidence, the incredible
testimony corroborated by
that evidence not in response to public outcry or for
political expediency, he said.

McCulloch went on to say

that the killing of Michael
Brown is a tragic loss of life regardless of the circumstances,
and encouraged the public to
continue the conversation in
the hope that a case like this
doesnt happen again.
I urge everybody whos engaged in the conversations,
engaged in the demonstrations to keep that going, to
stay with that. Not to let that
go and to do it in a constructive way a way that we can
profit from this, a way that
we can benefit from this by
changing the structure, by
changing some of the issue, by
solving some of the issues that
lead to these sorts of things,
he said.

Student athlete fills SAAC

vacancy on Student Senate
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK

Maddie Irelans Wednesdays just got a lot busier.

The sophomore from Dublin, Ohio said Wednesdays
are her busiest day of the
week. As a member of the
Universitys rowing team,
she wakes up at 6 a.m. to run
stairs with the team until 8
a.m. Then she has a full day
of classes, tutoring and then,
in the height of the season,
another practice.
As the newly appointed
Student Athlete Advisory
Committee senator, she can
add weekly Student Senate to
that list. She is also in charge
of community outreach for
the Student Athlete Advisory
Committee.
We really want our voice to
be heard. There are 500 or so
athletes so thats quite a few
people, who, we feel, sometimes in the past, our voice
hasnt been heard on campus,
besides the athletic department, Irelan said.
Before Irelan, the SAAC
senate seat was vacant for
several years. Irelan said she
hopes this will bring better

representation to the student-athlete population.

I want to find a connection
between the people on campus that dont really know
about what were doing over
here, and what our lives look
like, and the differences in
their college experience and
our college experience, Irelan said.
Irelan said she heard about
the the position through
SAAC and Sophia Templin, a
University softball player and
a journalism school student
senator. Templin authored a
bill in early November, last
cycle, that changes the definition of an excused absence
within senate. It now includes athlete-related events
like practices, games and
mandatory tutoring. The bill
passed in committees and
full senate.
Templin said there has been
little student-athlete involvement over the last decade.
This has kind of left a visible segment of the student
population unrepresented,
Templin said when she presented the bill in senate.
Templin said many athletes

last years student-athlete decision and that many athletes

wanted more involvement in
Student Senate.
Soon after, Irelan applied
for the student-athlete senate
seat and was appointed. Nov.
19 was her first time at senate. She credits Templin with
telling her about the position
and asking if she would be
interested.
Maddie is willing to do the
dirty work and get involved
in senate and think about
more than athletics, Templin
said. She represents athletics
well.
Irelan said she wanted to
get involved in Student Senate because she loved SAAC
and what she was able to do
within the committee. She
also hopes to represent the
unique needs and perspective of student athletes, who
often dont have a traditional
college experience. She hopes
to be a liaison between the
big issues on campus and the
student athletes.

A closed hearing took place Monday between Kappa Sigma fraternity and Student Affairs to determine
whether it is appropriate to continue interim suspension that began
on Sept. 30.
The hearing panel and Tammara
Durham, vice provost for Student
Affairs, have five days to reach a
decision, according to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director for news
and media relations.
This is not a final hearing and
this hearing will not result in a
final outcome of this matter with
respect to the fraternity or any individual member, said a letter dated
Nov. 17 from Joshua Jones, student
conduct and community standards
coordinator, to Kappa Sigma president Jack Schwartz.
Kappa Sigma Board Members
told KUJH News before the hearing
that attorney Chuck Schimmel is no
longer representing the fraternity
and they are seeking new representation.
Jane McQueeny, director of Office
of Institutional Opportunity and
Access, told KUJH News the investigation has taken longer than 60
days because more than 10 people
are involved. She said a typical 60day investigation involves five to
10 people.
In a previous interview with
Schwartz, he said 20 members,
including himself, had been interviewed so far about what he called
an unsponsored, spontaneous
event at the house without any
permission that got out of control.
The impromptu event resulted in
a report on Sept. 28 of an alleged
sexual assault. Investigations have
been ongoing.

Innovation Way, shown in a conceptual rendering, is to be the home to two new science buildings as part of
the Campus Master Plan.

University to implement
Campus Master Plan
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK

After the Earth, Energy and

Environment Center groundbreaking last week, the University is ready to implement
phase one of the Campus
Master Plan, which intends
to bring together the different
districts of the University. The
plan would shift the center of
campus to allow for new green
space, science buildings, an
updated Burge Union and
more.
Phase one entails the building of a new Earth, Energy and
Environment Center, which
will be attached to Lindley
Hall.
Funded by KU Endowment,
the Center will combine geology, petroleum engineering, exploration and environmental
science, field, laboratory and
analytic experience, scientific
research and field applications.
Robert Goldstein, associate
dean for the Natural Sciences
& Mathematics, said changes
are already being made. The
Center is expected to be finished by August 2017.
Within the Campus Master
Plan is the development of
an Innovation Way, which
would lead from Haworth Hall
to West Campus, connecting
the rest of the sciences with
engineering and pharmacy.
To reduce travel time across
the new campus, the Plan calls
for the construction of an accessible, multi-use path, Jayhawk Trail. Ways to reduce
vehicle traffic and configure
bus routes are still being considered by the University.
The initial phase of Inno-

vation Way calls for two new

integrated science buildings in
a complex with a new student
services/student union facility, said Kristi Henderson, director of communications in
the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences.
These science facilities will
be placed on the east slope
of Irving Hill, near Stouffer
Apartments, providing nearly
400,000 square feet of additional laboratory space campus-wide.

The new classrooms will

look a little different than

They will promote learning
through different avenues,
rather than consisting of professors just lecturing.
Goldstein says classrooms
will be more closely blended
with faculty research space,
and students will interact
more with their professors,
teaching assistants and graduate teaching assistants.
Greg Burg, professor and director of undergraduate biology, is looking forward to the
coming changes.

Burg said having upgraded
facilities will benefit all of the
sciences, especially the ones
that have thrived in Malott
Hall for so long.
Maddy Roberts is a freshman
from Valley Center, taking
General Chemistry in Malott.
The equipment is very outdated, Roberts said, In my
lab, there are only three weigh
scales that work. Getting new
supplies would help the labs go
smoother.
To solve issues like these, the
plan will include specific plans
for Malott.
Our first priority is to move
all [science] programs and
activities out of that building
[Malott]. There are also plans
to renovate Haworth Hall and
bring its research space up to
21st century standards, Henderson said. All options are on
the table for Malott Hall once
programs currently housed
there are moved to integrated
science buildings.
As the relocation of these
sciences begins, many faculty
members have expressed their
desire to work outside of their
disciplines.
These professors are really
wanting to collaborate, especially through research, Goldstein said.
As far as student wants and
needs, the University has already hosted multiple open
forums.

The latest period for open enrollment for health insurance

required under Obamacare
began on Nov. 15. It remains
unclear, however, whether
or not the program will meet
its goals for sign-ups among
young people. The goals were
not reached during the last
enrollment period in late 2013
and early 2014.
According to a press release
from the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services in
March, during the first enrollment period between October
2013 and March 2014, about
one-quarter of private insurance enrollees nationwide
were 18 to 34 years old, short
of the goal of 40 percent that
had been set by the Obama
administration.
In Kansas, the proportion
of sign-ups that were in this
age bracket was higher at 31
percent; however, there was
a smaller proportion of signups in the state overall, with
only one in five people registering, lower than the 28
percent national average, according to the Kaiser Family
Foundation.
I think that the primary
reason [for low enrollments]
had to do with lack of information, said Jarron M. Saint
Onge, assistant professor of
sociology. I think that young
people dont really know whats
going on [with Obamacare]
and werent aware of it.
Jonathan Gruber, a key
Obamacare advisor, spoke at
a conference at the University
of Pennsylvania in October
2013, and spoke about what he
believed to be misinformation
surrounding the legislation
when it was initially passed in
2010.
Lack of transparency is
a huge political advantage,
Gruber said. Call it the stupidity of the American voter
or whatever, but basically that
was really, really critical to get
the thing to pass.
The revealing of such comments may have lowered any
expectations of improving
the percentage of sign-ups
among young people. When

An investigation of the

The chancellor said the scan-

ments could further impact

Obamacares failure to meet
its goals, Onge said he didnt
think it would, believing Grubers impact to be limited.
Onge said there are two
competing
considerations:
whether or not you agree with
health care, and whether or
not you need health care. He
said a lot of people who dont
like Obamacare are still signing up for it because they ultimately need it. However, he
said he thinks basic ignorance
impacted the first enrollment
and that people didnt necessarily know about the penalty
for failing to sign up.

lead to a tax penalty under the
Affordable Care Act, but some
maintain that the government

libertarian, Klepper said. I
think the way we have it right
now, the mix between the really left and really right [wing]
policies is really backwards
and we need to figure it out.

Klepper said if minimum

University policy Marijuana dispensaries

sets few limits on woo holiday shoppers
student protests
KRISTEN WYATT
Associated Press

CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese

This semester, the University

has seen a variety of on-campus protest methods, from
sitting demonstrations to
yelling at passersby to interrupting classes in masks. The
University, which has a policy
for public assembly on campus, has few restrictions on
protest methods.
According to the Universitys Policy on Public Assembly Areas, all protests must
take place outside and cannot
impede traffic or disturb class
activities. Assemblies must
obey all normal University
rules, like respecting the activities of Facilities Operations and the policies of KU
Parking. The only restriction
on how the protests express
themselves is that signs cannot have sticks attached to
them. If protesters follow all
of these rules, the University
cannot interfere in their assembly.
However, if an organization
does not respect the rules, the
policy states, The University
reserves the right to reschedule, re-locate or disburse an
Assembly when: a group has
not complied with this policy; the Assembly cannot
be reasonably and safely accommodated at the requested location; or the Assembly
conflicts with the scheduled
operations of the University
or a previously registered Assembly.
Gregory Leung, a senior
from Hong Kong, said, Personally, its not (a) problem
for me having people protesting on campus as long as its

not violent or causing major

inconvenience to the students
and public.
The policy also states that
public assemblies like protests
are classified as events, and, as
such, must be reported to the
University Events Committee.
Once the event registration is
turned in, approval is implied,
unless a student or organization is told otherwise by the
University Events Committee.
This policy defines an assembly as two or more people working together and
gathering on University property. An individual is not
required to register with the
University Events committee
and is free to express himself
or herself, as long as it does
not interfere with University
operations or other scheduled
assemblies.
Also listed are the designated areas that campus or external organizations can use to
protest.
According to the policy,
there are a number of locations, such as the Kansas
Union Plaza, Wescoe Beach
and some of the large lawns
along Jayhawk Boulevard
(Watson Library/Fraser Hall
Lawn, Stauffer-Flint Lawn,
Lawn adjacent to Wescoe)
that are only available for
campus and student organizations to assemble on. Other
areas less central to the main
campus, like west lawn of
Robinson Gymnasium or the
northwest corner of 13th and
Oread, are available to external as well as campus organizations.

Thats not mistletoe.

From new marijuana strains
for the holidays to gift sets
and pot-and-pumpkin pies,
the burgeoning marijuana industry in Colorado is
scrambling to get a piece of
the holiday shopping dollar.
Dispensaries in many states
have been offering holiday
specials for medical customers for years but this first
season of open-to-all-adults
marijuana sales in some states
means pot shops are using
more of the tricks used by
traditional retailers to attract
holiday shoppers.
Heres a look at how the new
recreational marijuana industry is trying to attract holiday
shoppers:

Good Morning KU broadcast
show as well as her roles within SAAC and senate.
During the season, Irelan
said the team practices 20
hours a week, similar to a
part-time job. She is often
gone on the weekends, competing and sometimes misses
Friday classes for competitions. Irelan said the rowing
team is in season both fall and
spring, but practices are reduced during the winter when
they dont compete.
Irelan said adjusting to the
required level of time management was a shock at first.
Many of her days are com-

drive traffic and attract sales.

Recreational marijuana retailers are doing the same.
The Grass Station in Denver
is selling an ounce of marijuana for $50 about a fifth of
the cost of the next-cheapest
strain at the Colorado dispensary to the first 16 customers in line Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. That works out
to less than $1 a joint for the
ambitious early-rising pot
shopper. Owner Ryan Fox
says his Black Friday pot is
decent quality, and says hes
selling below cost to attract
attention and pick up some
new customers. As Colorado
dispensaries approach a year
of being able to sell weed to
all adults over 21, not just
card-carrying medical patients, Fox says retailers have
to do more than just sell pot
to get public attention.
Pot shops are using old and
new media to tout the sales.

pletely scheduled out, with

time for practice, class, tutoring, meals, homework and
getting enough sleep.
Your whole life is just scheduled out for you, Irelan said.
Irelan said most of her spare
time is spent with the people
she cares about, making Skype
dates with her family in Ohio
or going on coffee shop excursions with her friends.
The rowing team has been a
large part of her KU experience, and Irelan has no relatives close by.
It definitely was a transition moving so far away, but
coming out already being on
a team, I had a family, Irelan
said.
Irelan also credits the many
support services the athletic
department offers with help

guiding her at the University

and making the transition to
college easier.
She hopes her work within
Student Senate will help traditional students understand
who athletes are outside of
their uniforms.
People see athletes walking
around and theyre like Oh,
theyre an athlete., Irelan said.
We all have the same backpacks, the same clothes that
we wear everywhere, but people dont really know whos inside, and what they do. And I
think thats important. We are
student athletes, but were also
a part of the student body just
like anyone else.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving break,

everyone. There will certainly be
lots of traveling Jayhawks this
week, since just over one-third
of the KU student population is
from out of state.

VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS

Sweets and marijuana seem
to go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Many dispensaries this time
of year resemble a Starbucks
at the mall, with holiday spices and festive music in the
air. One of the states largest
edible-pot makers, Sweet
Grass Kitchen, debuted a new
miniature pumpkin pie that
delivers about as much punch
as a medium-sized joint.
The pie joins holiday-spiced
teas, minty pot confections
and cannabis-infused honey oil for those who want to
bake their own pot goodies
at home. Even some edibles makers that specialize
in savory foods, not sweets,
are putting out some sugary
items for the holidays.

Black Friday has negative consequences

By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC

Today, Thanksgiving is
known not just for food,
family and football, but also
for the massive commercial
holiday after: Black Friday.
Consumers can swarm stores
and mindlessly throw their
money to major multimillion-dollar corporations
across the country in order
to get deals on electronics
and other big-ticket items.
One can buy a brand new
flat-screen TV for more than
50 percent off or the newest
One Direction album for next
to nothing.
To vamp up competition
among the biggest retailers in
the United States, businesses
like Wal-Mart and Amazon
are beginning their deals on

certain items before Black

Friday, according to ConsumerReports.org. Many
corporate giants will even
be opening their doors to
sale-seekers Thanksgiving
evening. These early Black
Friday deals encourage fanaticism among savvy consumers. If you have ever been to
a superstore on Black Friday,
you know that shoppers have
to be aggressive to get the
products they want. Something few people consider,
as they fight to grab the last
iPad Air from the shelf, is the
safety of the employees who
are working hard to serve the
needs of the chaotic crowds.
Wal-Mart is one of several
chains across the country
notorious for beginning its
Black Friday sales Thanksgiving evening, or Black Thurs-

day. One incident in 2008 involving Wal-Mart resulted in

the death of an employee. The
corporation fought off the
$7,000 penalty for five years
following the case, according
to the Huffington Post.
Sitting on appeal with a
review commission, the case
of Jdimytai Damours death
highlights how corporations
can choose to fend off modest
penalties over workplace dangers for years on end, said
Huffington Post writer Dave
Jamieson.
Clearly the problem with
Wal-Mart on Black Friday
extends far beyond proper
compensation for its employees its workers lives are
at risk simply for doing their
job. If Damours tragedy is
any indication, it will even
refuse to pay what is consid-

ered pocket change to a big

company to atone for its poor
handling of the situation.
In order to avoid further
accidents like the one in 2008,
the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration has
made several recommendations for this year: Each
stores crowd management
plan should include on-site
security guards, barricades
for customers as they wait to
enter the store, an explanation of how they can enter
the store safely, limits on how
many customers can enter
the store, and an emergency
plan for when something
goes wrong, Tim Devaney
reported on The Hill.
In addition to the physical
hazards that could occur,
employees also have to deal
with the stress of handling

hundreds of customers at
once. Employees are put under even more pressure when
customers get frantic or angry
over a product they cant find.
As a college student, I
appreciate being able to buy
things I want for an affordable price. Black Friday might
sound worth dealing with
other aggressive customers
and claustrophobic crowds.
However, its not worth
putting the store workers
in harms way and giving
money to corporations that
do little for their employees just for a Bluetooth
speaker or some DVDs.

Climate agreement will bring disagreement

between China and the
United States, along with the
opposing arguments of the
GOP. The stage has been set
for a political war over what
has become one of the most
politicized scientific findings
in history.
If all goes as planned, the
agreement will place the
United States in a position
to reduce carbon emissions
by 26-28 percent by 2025.
The agreement allows China
to peak emissions by 2030
and then begin emission
reductions. In the meantime,
China will pursue 20 percent
alternative energies by 2025,
according to the New York
Times.
Right off the bat, the GOP
had its first argument handed
to it. These numbers beg the
question, why should the U.S.
conform to strict environ-

@GabrielleKansan

Word has gotten out that

President Barack Obama and
Chinese President Xi Jinping
are ready to kick some
climate change butt. You read
correctly: The leaders of the
worlds largest carbon dioxide
producers are ready to get
busy on emission reductions.
I had to excuse myself from
public view when I heard
the news because, to quote
a valley girl, I, like, totally
freaked out. My valley girl
moment ended when reading
the details of the agreement

mental regulations and let

China continue polluting
until 2030? Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell
was the first to criticize the
agreement, saying it requires
the Chinese to do nothing at
all for 16 years while these
carbon emissions regulations
create havoc in my state
and other states around the
country. According to the
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate
change will create even more
havoc than regulations, especially for the United States
most impoverished populations, Mitch.
There are arguments that
the reduction of carbon emissions will destroy the economy. A statement released by
Ed Whitfield, Chairman of
the House Energy and Power
Subcommittee, states a

lame-duck president is working to stack the deck against

American jobs, wage increases and affordable energy. Our
top priority must be jobs and
the economy plain and
simple. According to the
Department of Energys Natural Renewable Energy Lab,
alternative energy jobs create
more jobs per dollar invested
than traditional electricity
jobs while keeping dollars
local through investment in
indigenous resources.
Despite the GOPs arguments, climate change policy
entrepreneurs now have the
biggest advantage in history.
For years, deniers of climate
change have relied on the
argument that what we do in
America will make no difference if other global leaders
continue to pollute, particularly China. Well guess what,

guys? The leading producer of

carbon dioxide in the world
just got serious about climate
change. Whether Chinas
emission reductions begin
tomorrow or in 15 years, its
pledge to tackle the climate
is worth more than any other
statement, speech or study
about climate change. So far,
arguments about protecting
Americas most vulnerable
populations and the power of
alternative energy have not
convinced the GOP to act on
climate change. Maybe fears
of China outpacing the U.S.
in sustainability and alternative innovations will give the
GOP a much needed shove
toward action.

Awareness, caution around coyotes necessary

By Jenny Stern
@jenlikeswhales

Halloween passed a while

ago, but howling at the moon
is projected to become more
frequent. Recently, Lawrence
residents have not only
noticed an increase in coyote
numbers, but also a change in
their appearance and timing.
Usually confined to the night,
coyotes now have been spotted around town as early as 3
p.m., according to residents
of the Lawrence Western
Hills neighborhood. Prairie
Park Nature Center has even
received reports of wolves
in Lawrence.
The most recent sighting

of wolves in Kansas came in

2013, when coyote hunters
killed a large male canine
that turned out to be a wolf,
according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. According to the
Kansas Department of Wildlife, this was the first sighting
of a wolf in Kansas since
1905. Most of the reported
sightings are actually coyotes,
which can sometimes be
confused with wolves. If in
doubt, the Denver Animal
Control has a simple method
for telling coyotes from
wolves and dogs, stating that
the coyote will run with
their tails down. A wolf will
run with its tail straight out
and a dog will run with their
tail up.
Increased interaction with
humans or the hybridization
of domestic dogs with coyotes
will result in more socialized
animals, according to the

Connecticut Department of
Energy and Environmental Protection. To reduce
socialization of coyotes, do
not leave food out during the
night for outdoor pets, which
may attract them. Colorado
Parks & Wildlife warns those
in Colorado not to walk with
small children or animals
in certain areas because of
aggressive coyote behavior.
According to Colorado Division of Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill, coyotes
typically bite only one person
per year along the Front
Range. Since 2008, however,
10 people have suffered bites
from coyotes, as reported
by the High Country News
in 2010. The California
Integrated Pest Management
Program outlines aggressive
behaviors in coyotes in graded steps from 1-7. A coyote
acting aggressively toward

adults in mid-day is the seventh stage in the progression.

Lawrence may be seeing
intermediate signs of an
increased coyote population. The third stage, which
Lawrence is currently in, is
spotting coyotes on streets,
in parks and yards during
the early morning/late
afternoon. The next stage is
coyotes attacking or taking
pets on leashes, as well as
chasing joggers and bicyclists.
Pedestrians should take extra
caution when walking their
pets at night or letting them
outside.
With increased construction
in Lawrence, local coyotes
have fewer places to find
food, causing them to venture
into the city. Due to habitat
degradation and the coming
winter, coyotes could start
targeting pets and other
small creatures for a meal,

Im in the line at Chipotle

thinking: What combo will best
prepare my body for the open
bar Im going to subject it to
tonight?

thereby drawing the coyotes

to suburban neighborhoods.
Supporting further construction in Lawrence near
wildlife habitats will only
exasperate this problem.
Although destruction of their
habitat has already occurred,
in the future we should be
more conscious of the effects
construction has on coyote
behavior.
It is our responsibility to
take preventative measures to
ensure that the coyote population does not get out of
hand. Be careful with pets, do
not attract coyotes by leaving
food outside your house and
remain conscious about how
construction projects may
affect your local ecosystems.

Karen Matheis finds inspiration in the environment

BizBaz returns this weekend for 26th year

DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn

Held annually on Thanksgiving weekend, Lawrence brings

back the Bizarre Bazaar for its
26th year. Known as BizBaz,
this Bazaar shows off various
goods from more than 100
artists, in addition to a bake
sale and over 20 live performances held on two stages.
Part of the artists requirement in the Bazaar is to contribute an item to the bake
sale. The money raised is then
put toward the renting of the
facility for the next years
Bazaar. In terms of entertainment, visitors can expect
to see a variety of local performers from belly dancers to
accordion soloists, and much
more. Admission is free.
The artists who participate
in the Bazaar are picked by a
first-come, first-served process. Co-chair of the BizBaz
Debi Taylor said this year the
spaces filled in only a day and
a half, about twice as fast as

last year.
BizBaz takes place at the
Lawrence Arts Center, 940
New Hampshire St., from 5 to
9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. on Saturday. It is made
possible by a group of committee heads referred to as the
BBC, or BizBaz Committee.
The BizBaz Committee is
overseen by two co-chairs,
both University alumni: Taylor, who has been on the
board for about 10 years, and
Marsene Feldt. The two have
worked together along with
the committee to put together
the Bazaar.
Taylor, who resides in Lawrence, said her and Feldt share
many responsibilities as cochairs of the BizBaz. Taylor
said her favorite part about
being a co-chair is that there
are so many people covering
every little detail.
Everything is divided up,
the weight isnt on anybody
particularly but its a joint
effort with everyone pulling
their weight. I love that, Tay-

lor said.
Taylor said what she loves
most about the Bizarre Bazaar
itself, outside of planning,
comes at the end of the show,
when the artists can actually
trade with one another.
As the shopping day goes
on and you as an artist see art
that you are just dying to have
a piece of, you can say Im interested in your stuff and Im
over here at this booth and if I
have anything youre interested in, I would love to trade,
Taylor said.
The name Bizarre Bazaar
describes quite a bit in and of
itself. Taylor said some of the
art on display is on the bizarre
side while some is more conventional.
We do try to push the limits of encouraging people to
step outside of the box and do
something that is a little more
obscure that you may not
be able to have at a different
show, Taylor said.
One of the artists, Kathleen
Hayward from Lawrence,

will be displaying her unique
beaded jewelry and mixed
media wind chimes made
from upcycled and found materials.
She became interested in
made objects while working
as an industrial photographer
in the 1980s. Although she is
still involved in photography,
she decided to pursue jewelry
making in 1999.
I have been creating art
and unique crafts for most of
my life, Hayward said. My
thoughts of wind and sound
intersected with man-made
items that evolved into the
design of unique wind chimes
for outdoor settings.
Hayward has participated in

the Bazaar for eight years. She

does most of her work in her
home studio and takes custom
orders, offering design services to meet the needs of her
clients.
The Bizarre Bazaar was started 26 years ago by a group
of founding mothers. Taylor said this group of women all wanted to sell their art
but didnt have the money or
enough pieces to get into big
shows.
One of the founding mothers invited those artists to
come to her house and thats
where the first BizBaz happened, Taylor said. All their
friends came, they had their
show, traded and had gift giving for the holidays.
Taylor said about three or
four of the women are still in
the show this year. The first
Bazaar took place the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and
that is the way it has remained
for 26 years.

Untouched lingerie ads lead to

increase in sales for American Eagle
By Lily Grant
@lilygrant_UDK

Aerie, and its sister store

American Eagle, made the
bold move to abandon the
use of photoshop on the
lingerie models in advertisements. The stores started
the #aerieReal campaign at
the beginning of this year,
which encourages women
to embrace their bodies as
they are. Aerie and American Eagle are clothing and
lingerie stores with a target
demographic of women
in their teens and early
twenties high school and
college girls, us.
Un-retouched girls who
look much like you and I are
now featured on the stores
posters. At the bottom of
its advertisement reads,
The girl in this photo has
not been retouched. The
real you is sexy. #aerieReal.
Since spring of 2014, when
Aerie put an end to retouch-

Celebrate the
holidays with these
five dysfunctional
movie families

ing, its lingerie sales spiked,

increasing by 9 percent in
the last quarter alone.
The models Aerie chose
for the spring 2014 ad
campaign are still very thin
and incredibly beautiful by
most peoples standards, and
they are still photographed
in perfect lighting and from
flattering angles. However,
Aerie has left all of the models natural attributes visible
a revolutionary step for
advertising.
Victorias Secret, a brand
that is notorious for featuring unrealistic depictions of
what is sexy, glowing models
in its advertisements, has
also made recent changes
to its advertisements as a
result of consumer criticism.
The company was scrutinized for its The Perfect
Body campaign, which was
released earlier this month
and featured 10 flawless
supermodels.
Body image advocates

pushed back, creating a petition for Victorias Secret to

change the ad and apologize, which received over
27,000 signatures. Without
releasing any sort of statement, Victorias Secret quietly changed the ad slogan
to A Body for Every Body,
still featuring the same 10
perfect models, in hopes
of silencing critics. Posters
for The Perfect Body still
remain in stores, however.
Since its beginning,
advertising has been used
to swindle and sway target
audiences into buying their
product by triggering something in its customers, or
victims, on a subconscious
level. Clothing and lingerie
companies feature perfect,
airbrushed models in their
advertisements so that when
a woman views it, she feels
compelled to buy their
product so that she, too, can
look like the perfect woman
in the ad.

As advertisements become
increasingly sexualized,
adolescent girls especially
vulnerable to the pressures
society inflicts regarding
body image are most at
risk. The objectification of
womens bodies, which is
enforced by such advertisements, is a big factor in
sexual assault cases, an issue
that has been prominent at
our University this year. Of
course, advertising is not
the reason for sexual assault
and violence; however, advertising does play a role in
contributing to the negative
image of women in our
culture.
While advertisers are held
responsible for the images,
techniques and language
used in advertisements, we,
the consumers, can encourage more realistic ads that
revert the social constructs
advertising has created.

Big 12 Notebook: Texas

moves up after OSU victory
@udk_dan

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

Coach Clint Bowen rallies the team after the loss to TCU on Nov. 15. Kansas will face Kansas State Saturday.

Bowen: Effort not the

problem in loss to OU
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang

Its rivalry week for Kansas

and also the last game of the
season. It also marks coach
Clint Bowens last performance to show whether he
should earn the permanent
job.
Ahead of this Saturdays
matchup with Kansas State,
Bowen said in the weekly Big
12 teleconference that games
with the Wildcats have always
stood out to him.
To the people in the state of
Kansas, this is obviously a big
game, this is an in-state school
and an in-state rival, and
through the years there have
been a lot of great matchups,
some stories and some histories behind it, Bowen said.
I remember all of my games
playing in it; they were all fun
games to play in.
K-State has more on the line
in this meeting. At 6-1 in the
conference, the Wildcats are

tied for the Big 12 lead with

Baylor and TCU, and want to
keep pace heading into their
finale against Baylor.
The Jayhawks last victory
against the Wildcats was on
Nov. 1, 2008, in Lawrence.
Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine had a huge game
against Kansas on Saturday.
His 427 yards set a NCAA
record, and he scored five
touchdowns, but Bowen said
his defenses effort was not
lacking. He was more critical
of the teams fundamentals,
especially with not being in
the right gaps at the right
times.
We talked about that on
Sunday and really didnt feel
as though effort was the problem, Bowen said. I thought
our kids played with effort.
I dont think we played real
smart. We didnt really play
well fundamentally.
Despite saying his defense
had a poor performance,
Bowen said he didnt want to

take away from the freshman

running backs performance
and had nothing but praise
when talking about Perine.
He does have legitimate
speed; he can go, Bowen said.
But the bigger thing I think
he has is a very quick burst
hes able to stick a foot in the
ground and get downhill in a
hurry.
Bowen walked on at Kansas
two times, once out of high
school and once after attending Butler County Community College. He said he respects
walk-ons because they have
to earn their spot on the field
with their play.
Through my years, due to
my experiences, [Ive] had a
spot for walk-ons in my heart
and understand the trials
and tribulations that they go
through, Bowen said. Its a
different path than a scholarship kid. Its more challenging. Theres a lot more factors
to it.

THE DAILY DEBATE

Should Bowen remain head coach next season?

By Austin Wagoner
@awagoner23

NO
Clint Bowen loves Jayhawk
football. There are anecdotes
floating around campus and
articles about his passion for
the football team. Theres no
doubt that he has breathed
life back into a program that
has been dormant for half
a decade and that the TCU
game was something to be
admired. Deep down I want
him to stay, but I dont think
hes the answer right now.
It goes without saying that
recruiting and development
are important in starting to
turn this program around.
The University of Kansas
football team needs someone
who has had success in a
pipeline state and has credibility in order to convince
talented high school seniors
to come in and turn this football program around.
Coach Bowen has been with
the program for 19 years and,
to be honest, his dedication
to the Kansas organization
puts him at a disadvantage

when trying to convince

players from Texas, Florida,
or California to come play
for the Jayhawks. I think
he could sell the love for
Lawrence and the University
better than any other coach
in the country, but unfortunately thats all the program
has to offer.
The Kansas Football team
needs a coach who has had
success. This doesnt necessarily mean success as a head
coach. The past two coaches
that Dr. Zenger has hired
have been head coaches at
other universities and both
experiments ended poorly.
Look down the road at
Kansas State. They hired
Bill Snyder after he spent
several successful years as an
offensive coordinator. When
he arrived the Wildcats were
historically bad. He arguably
made one of the biggest turnarounds in college football
history. That is what Kansas
football needs right now.
He had a chance to take
the job with a good showing against Oklahoma in
Norman but his defense let
Samaje Perine scamper all
over the field for an NCAA

record 427 yards with five

touchdowns. Those arent the
kind of records that Kansas
football needs to be a part of.
I hope that coach Bowen
gets the job down the road.
He deserves to be the head
coach of this football team
in the future. However, he
needs to venture out and get
some more experience and
he needs to have some more
success. His love for this
football program isnt enough
for the kind of improvement
that it needs to begin competing in the Big 12.
Bowens last chance to
make a solid argument to be
hired full time will come this
Saturday as the Jayhawks face
the Kansas State Wildcats.
If Bowen wants to make a
statement, I hope he makes it
this Saturday.

VOTE FOR THE

WRITER WITH THE
BEST ARGUMENT AT
KANSAN.COM

By Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes

YES
You could call Clint Bowens
1-5 start as the interim head
coach of the Kansas Jayhawk
football team a little rocky.
In the same way you could
call the Great Sand Dunes of
Colorado a little hilly.
But the man stepped into
a situation that would have,
and has, scared off some
of the top coaches in the
country. He pulled the team
together, got the Jayhawks
first conference win since last
season and even competed
so hard against then-No.
4 TCU that the Jayhawks
knocked them out of the top
four in the rankings. Bowen
has done so much in so little
time, it would do irreparable
harm to the program to drop
him.
Bowen is a players coach
and a defensive mastermind, and his unique blend
of youthful activeness and
defensive tenacity has shone
through several times.
It certainly showed in the

near win versus then-No. 16

Oklahoma State, who needed
a kick return touchdown late
in the fourth to down the
Jayhawks. It showed against
Iowa State, who was the
first team to fall to Bowens
squad. And it most definitely
showed against TCU, who
fell into the trap game at Memorial Stadium and barely
escaped with a win.
Bowen seems to have infused a new attitude into the
team, which has scored 14
or more points in all but one
contest. I didnt think Bowen
could lead the seemingly
hopeless offense to more
than 25 points ever again
this season. He did it twice,
and he scored 30 on the No.
35-ranked scoring defense in
the country that allows just
23 points per game.
Michael Cummings, who
has thrown for over 1,500
yards for the first time in his
career after stepping in as the
full-time starter in Bowens
first game, is also returning
next year. Why would you remove Bowen when hes clearly found whatever makes the
junior from Texas click? Hes
gotten better every game hes

played, and although he took

a step back against Oklahoma, that cant overshadow
what has been a marvelous
season for Cummings.
And its all because Bowen
figured out how to use him
and his offensive pieces.
We havent seen Bowen as
a recruiter yet besides any
roles he played in bringing
in guys like Ben Heeney
and Dexter McDonald to
Lawrence but theres
nothing to make me think
he wouldnt be a fantastic recruiter. He absolutely adores
Lawrence and the University
of Kansas; hes a hometown
boy and refers to his position
as a dream job. Hes been a
KU coach for 16 years. He
knows the program better
than just about anyone.
Young recruits will buy into
his vision and his passion,
and theyll be drawn to
Lawrence.
Its a match made in heaven.
Bowen is the man who can
lead the University of Kansas,
one of the worst football programs in the country, down a
new path. Why would we not
give him that chance?

Conference work not yet finished for Kansas volleyball

MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK

Kansas volleyball is trending in the right direction at

the perfect time. The team has
won four out of its last five Big
12 matches, and with just two
conference games left, the Jayhawks still have an opportunity
to place in the top 3 of the Big
12 an important spot to be
in before tournament selection.
In order to do that, theyll
have to come away victorious
against both of the following
teams this week.
WEST VIRGINIA (15-13, 5-9)
Kansas has already defeated
the Mountaineers in Morgantown, but the Jayhawks might
face a tougher opponent this

time around.
It may be against only two
teams, but West Virginia has
its longest conference winning
streak of the season with consecutive wins and sweeps over
Baylor and Texas Tech.
Leading the way offensively
for the Mountaineers will most
likely be sophomore outside
hitter Jordan Anderson. She
currently leads the conference
in kills per set in Big 12 play
with 4.48 per set, and is second
in points per set at 4.87.
Where West Virginia will
have a problem against Kansas
is defense, as the Mountaineers
are last in the Big 12 in opponents hitting percentage. What
this means for the Jayhawks
is usually more open hitting
lanes, leading to less digs for

West Virginia. This adds up,

as the Mountaineers are last in
digs per set in conference action as well.
OKLAHOMA (19-9, 9-5)
Kansas players have most
likely had this rematch circled
on the calendar for a long time.
In the first match of the Big 12
season, Kansas opened play
by winning the first two sets
against Oklahoma, but were
shocked as the Sooners made
a 3-0 set comeback to win the
match.
Now more polished and
meshing better than ever as a
team, the Jayhawks have a great
chance at returning the favor.
The one player Kansas will
have to stop is Oklahoma outside hitter Kierra Holst. She

KANSAN
CLASSIFIEDS
785-864-4358

JOBS

leads the Big 12 in both points

per set (4.99) and aces per set
(.46), while being second in
kills per set at 4.37.
Even if the Jayhawks are able
to hold her, still expect an offensive showdown in this match.
Both Kansas and Oklahoma
are first and second in kills per
set respectively, and both also
place in the top four conference
teams in hitting percentage. An
important phase of the game
the Jayhawks hold an advantage in is blocking, and it could
be the determinant of who wins
the match. While Kansas is
third in conference action with
2.55 blocks per set, Oklahoma
is last in the Big 12 and only
blocks 1.81 per set.

RIDING EASY

Kansas cools off

in second half
against Rider

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk emerges in win over Rider

BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein

By Ben Carroll
@bcarroll91

ansas basketball
looked impressive in
the first half against
Rider Monday night, but
struggled coming out of the
gates in the second half. Sluggish play might work against a
MAAC team like Rider, but if
the No. 11 Jayhawks play that
way against a tougher team,
like their next matchup, Florida on Dec. 3, they will struggle
mightily.
If Kansas wants to stay afloat
the top-25 in the rankings and
the Big 12 standings, it will
need to play both halves as
well as it did in the first half of
Monday nights 87-60 victory
over the Rider Broncs. If the
Jayhawks fail to do so, the No.
18 Florida Gators will walk
into Lawrence unfazed, as well
as leave the big guns in the
Big 12, Texas and Iowa State,
with not much to worry about,
either.
With Bill Self changing up
the starting five at the start
of the game, sophomore
forward Landen Lucas got
his first-career start. He
finished up his first-half play
recording six points and three
rebounds. Sophomore guard
Wayne Selden Jr. showed his
heightened ability to distribute
the ball with seven first-half
assists, and freshman forward
Cliff Alexander added a 9-0
run of his own including an
alley-oop off a pass from one
of Seldens many assists.
Freshman guard Sviatoslav
Mykhailiuk contributed 10
points of his own in the first
20 minutes, including two
shots from the behind the
arc. Junior forward Perry Ellis
stepped up with 11 points,
going a perfect 5-for-5 from
the free-throw line.
Thats the best half of
basketball weve played this
year, coach Bill Self said. The
first half I thought we were on
point in most areas. The whole
team was definitely a step
slower the second half.
When the Jayhawks ran off
the court into locker room for
halftime, they had a commanding 51-22 lead. 20 minutes later, they were outscored
by two points, 36-38, and
outrebounded 21-15, watching
their lead slim down.
[We were] playing the score
as opposed to playing the possession, Self said. You should
play to win every possession,
good teams do that.
Mykhailiuk and Alexander
didnt drop a single bucket in
the second half, Ellis only supplied an additional six points
and snagged only one more
board. Selden only added two
more assists and failed to score
in either half.
If Kansas second half woes
continue, it could be the first
time in 10 years they dont win
the Big 12 title.
We just kind of stopped and
we took our foot off the gas,
junior forward Perry Ellis said.
We have to learn that we have
to complete the full game to
become a better team.
We will just have to wait and
see if Kansas can keep it up for
the entire game against Rhode
Island on Thanksgiving.

Bowen discusses upcoming game against Kansas State | PAGE 7

In the early weeks of this

Kansas basketball season,
the Jayhawks have been
struggling to find their goto-guy. No. 11 Kansas (2-1)
may have found him in 17year old Ukrainian Sviatoslav
Mykhailiuk.
Mykhailiuk got his second start of the year against
Rider, and had his strongest
performance to date, leading
Kansas to an 87-60 win over
the Rider Broncs (2-2) on
Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.
His play was highlighted by
a diving save on a loose ball,
a play that would end in a
Mykhailiuk layup. The freshman guard finished with 10
points on 57-percent shooting to along with a team-high
five rebounds and two assists.
Hes (Mykhailiuk) going to
be a great shooter, coach Bill
Self said. It may be because
of the European ball, but hes
our best guy at moving the
ball.
Not afraid to launch from
long-range, Mykhailiuk leads
Kansas with 12 3-point field
goal attempts and is tied for
the team lead with three. He
made two of his five attempts
on Monday night.
Fueled by Mykhailiuk, Kansas exploded off the tip in
its second home game of the
season Monday night. Sophomore forward Landon Lucas
got his first career start and

provided the energy for the

Jayhawks, who bounced back
strong with a much-needed
victory after a 32-point loss to
Kentucky on Nov. 18.
We were ready to get out
there and get after it, junior
forward Perry Ellis said. We
needed to get our confidence
back up.
Kansas big men were dominant early on, scoring 20 of
the teams first 27 points. Lucas added a quick four points
while Ellis scored six, including four free throws. Freshman forward Cliff Alexander
put up ten big points off the
bench in only 13 minutes
of play, going 4-for-4 from
the field with four boards to
match, including a 9-0 run by
himself.

We need to continue to keep

getting better and better and
do what we need to do.
BRANNEN GREENE
Sophomore guard

We had 13 post touches

in the first half, we had zero
against Kentucky, Self said.
Weve always been a low-tohigh team.
Sophomore guard Wayne
Selden Jr. was controlling the
floor for most of the first half,
as he racked up seven assists.

He may not have scored, but

his presence was certainly clear, leading Kansas to
a strong first half. Selden
Jr. took only one shot, but
helped Kansas shoot 66.7 percent from the field and lead
51-22 heading into halftime.
The Jayhawks got off to a
slower start offensively in the
second half, but that wasnt
due to a lack of effort. Selden
started the second half running the point with Alexander and Ellis down low.
To be candid, it was lack
of maturity, Self said on the
slow second half start. But
that first half was our best
half of basketball we played
all season.
Ellis continued his stable
play in the second half as he
tied for the Jayhawks lead
in scoring. Ellis shot 83 percent from the field on 5-for-6
shooting and sank seven of
ten from the line.
Kansas spread the ball
well against Rider, as the
Jayhawks combined for 22
team assists. Seldens assist
numbers slowed down in the
second half, but he still finished with a team-high nine
assists.
Sophomore guard Brannen
Greene had a breakout game,
setting career highs in points
scored (17), minutes (19), and
field goals made (5). Greene
shot 71 percent from the field
and provided big minutes for
Kansas off the bench.

The Kansas womens basketball team will play in its

sixth game of the season
Wednesday night against
the Iona Gaels in Allen
Fieldhouse.
Iona is led by senior guard
Damika Martinez, who has
already scored 103 points
this season, averaging 25.8 a
game. She is the key player
to watch for the Gaels.
The Jayhawks finally found
their identity last weekend,
playing against three teams
with different offenses.
Coming out of the first
game and our struggles
defensively, coach Bonnie Henrickson said after
Sundays game. I think we
filled the lane better, we
forced people to make an
extra pass, we were more
disruptive, forced some secondary offense and some
bad shots at the rim.
The Jayhawks finally have
a defense thats ready to
take on Ionas steady offense. After this weekend,
the freshmen were able to
adapt quickly to the fastpaced style and learn key
concepts.
I think what [three games
in three days] did for us,
you know, especially with so
many young kids, to kind of
put them in situations that
they havent been in and
see how they respond to it
a little bit, Henrickson said.
The good thing is that I feel
like weve gotten better in
the three games and [have]

gotten some experience.
Along with winning the
three-game slate, the Jayhawks have also overcome
the fatigue the fast-paced
tournament brought them.
Having three games in
three days is a tough thing,
senior forward Chelsea
Gardner said. But just finding energy and getting momentum played into what
helped us for this game
(against Georgetown on
Sunday).
Being able to play tired last
weekend will be an advantage to the Jayhawks once
theyre fully rested against
Iona on Wednesday.
Kansas (4-1) comes into
this match with the better
record than the 1-3 Gaels.

Iona has struggled making

shots from the field and the
free-throw line. In Ionas last
game against the University
of the Pacific, the Gaels shot
34.6 percent from field goal
range and were 8-for-18
from the line.
In Kansas last game
against Georgetown, the
Jayhawks scored 14 points
off of the Hoyas 16 turnovers. In the Gaels last
game, they committed 21
turnovers, leading to 22
points for the opponent.
If the Jayhawks are able to
control the ball and take
advantage of the takeaways,
Kansas will come out on
top.

WOMENS BASKETBALL GAMEDAY VS IONA GAELS

Wednesday, Nov. 26 | 8 p.m. | Allen Fieldhouse
KANSAS (4-1)

IONA (1-3)

Lauren Aldridge, freshman, guard

Aldridge had a pretty outstanding
weekend, racking up 16 assists in
three games, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4-to-1. The freshman
guard will look to keep up her solid
play, which has helped to take the
pressure off of seniors Natalie Knight
and Chelsea Gardner.

Damika Martinez, senior, guard

Martinez has been flat-out spectacular this season averaging close to 26
points and six rebounds per game,
while becoming Ionas all-time leading scorer.

Natalie Knight, senior, guard

Knight finished the weekend with
a strong performance against the
Georgetown Hoyas, racking up 11
points, five assists and four rebounds, while only committing
one turnover. The senior guard has
stepped up as one of the leaders of
the team, but shell certainly have
her hands full as Iona boasts one of
the best guards in the country.

BROOK BARNES/KANSAN

Rhode Island Thursday in the

first round of the tournament.
We have three games coming up this week, Greene
said. We need to continue to
keep getting better and better
and do what we need to do.

Chayla Cheadle, freshman, guard

After playing well in her first start on
Saturday, Cheadle struggled against
the Hoyas, scoring just six points on
2-of-9 shooting. As a starter, Cheadle
is averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds
and 2.5 assists per game, and shell
look to continue to help the Jayhawks
in multiple areas of the game.
Jada Brown, sophomore, forward
Brown started the weekend with a
strong performance, going 5-of-5
from the field and finishing with 12
points and six rebounds, albeit in a
loss. However, she struggled to do
much in the ensuing two games, averaging just one point per game, to
go along with 4.5 rebounds.
Chelsea Gardner, senior, forward
Gardner is averaging 20.8 points, 10
rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game,
and she has already had a 30-point
game, a 16-rebound game and a
5-block game this season.

Marina Lizarazu, sophomore, guard

Lizarazu has started all four games
for the Gaels, and shes been solid,
averaging 9 points and 5.3 assists
per game. Lizarazu has only gotten
better while playing alongside Martinez, and the Jayhawks will have to be
careful to not allow her to get going
on offense.

Cassidee Ranger, junior, forward

Ranger has struggled pretty mightily
this year, and she was even replaced
in the starting lineup by Aaliyah Robinson last game. However, Robinson
had a pretty subpar performance,
racking up four turnovers while
shooting 0-of-5 from three-point
range and 0-of-4 from the free throw
line.

Joy Adams, junior, forward

Averaging 16.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, Adams has started the season off quite well. In fact,
she has managed to grab at least 11
rebounds in every single game, and
Adams has hit the 20-point scoring
mark in two of the Gaels four contests.

Aurellia Cammock, sophomore,

forward
Cammock has been fairly forgettable this season, averaging just two
points and 4.5 rebounds per game,
and shes already had three games
with more fouls than points. Cammock will need to play far better if
she doesnt want to be the next one
to lose her spot in the starting five.
