    With cell phones as bedmates

    and college a necessity, the mil-

    lennial generation is fast setting

    itself apart from parents and

    grandparents.

    The millennial generation, or

    those born after 1980, has the

    highest amount of education,

    with 54 percent having some

    college education, according to

    a 2010 Pew Research Centerstudy. The study examined mil-

    lennials age 18 to 29.

    With 83 percent of millen-

    nials reporting they have slept

    with their cell phone at some

    point compared to 46 percent of

    all other generations, its obvi-

    ous technology helps define the

    generation.

    My phone is always by my

    side, said Allegra Baxter, Olathe

    junior. I use it for weather,

    communication. Everything. I

    think I definitely use it differ-

    ently than my parents do.

    The millennial generation

    looks different than previous

    ones, with 61 percent identify-

    ing as white, compared to 70

    percent of those 30 or older.Those identifying as black

    increased from 11 to 14 per-

    cent, with Hispanics increasing

    the most from 13 to 19 percent

    and Asians remaining at five

    percent.

    But the priorities of mille-

    nials are not much different

    from those who came before,

    with parenting and a successful

    marriage being the two most

    important life priorities. Of

    those 29 and younger, 52 per-

    cent listed being a good parent

    and 30 percent listed a success-

    ful marriage, compared to 30

    percent and 35 percent, respec-

    tively, of those 30 and older.

    For students like Chris Dill,

    a freshman from Austin, Texas,

    the priorities seem a little out

    of whack.

    Success, having a good job,

    those are most important tome, Dill said. According to

    the study, a high-paying job

    and religion were some of the

    least important priorities, each

    weighing in at 15 percent.

    But compared to those 30

    and older, the success and reli-

    gion set the generations apart,

    with 21 percent of the older

    generation prioritizing religion

    and only 7 percent saying suc-

    cess is a priority.

    Chris Crandall, a University

    sociology professor, said the

    varying importance of priori-

    ties between generations all

    comes back to age.

    There is the fact that the 30

    plus people are simply older,

    Crandall said in an email.Marriage matters more to a

    35-year-old than to an 18-year-

    old. And so, I think a simple

    way to interpret the data is that

    millenials are mostly like other

    Americans, but that they are

    less concerned about leading a

    religious life.

    From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. this

    Saturday, students have the

    opportunity to make a differ-ence in the community.

    The University will host

    its fifth Dance Marathon this

    Saturday in the Kansas UnionBallroom. Dance Marathon is a

    program under the Childrens

    Miracle Network that raises

    money for children and theirfamilies at hospitals in the area.

    Students stand on their feet for

    12 straight hours supporting

    the children who cant.Twenty Miracle Children

    and their families have signed

    up for Saturdays event. While

    some are healthy and donewith treatments, others are still

    fighting.

    Kendall Kohnle, director of

    public relations for KU DanceMarathon, hopes to work with

    kids in need someday and said

    the Dance Marathon is a life-

    changing experience. She said

    seeing how strong the kids are isencouraging and an inspiration.

    The event kicks off with an

    opening ceremony, followed

    by a day full of music, food,games and dancing. Around the

    World is the theme for this

    falls Dance Marathon. A differ-

    ent country will be representedeach hour with authentic food.

    A closing ceremony will con-

    clude KUDM.

    Holly Good, a sophomorefrom Shawnee, said being a part

    of KUDM puts a lot into per-

    spective.

    Seeing how passionate the

    steering committee is makes me

    think about what a big differ-ence you can make when you

    stand for something meaning-

    ful, Good said.

    Even though its a dancemarathon, KUDM is centered

    around the kids. Students are

    encouraged to help in any way

    they can. KUDM participantscan sign up in teams before-

    hand to fundraise and get their

    friends involved.

    Participants can register untilthe day of the event for a $20

    registration fee. At this point,435 students have already reg-

    istered.The University hosted a Dance

    Marathon in February, raising

    $60,040.70. After this weekend,

    Kansas will become the secondschool in the country to have

    hosted two marathons in one

    year. Their fundraising goal for

    the year is $100,000.

    WASHINGTON One day after

    his surprisingly comfortable re-elec-

    tion, a triumphant President BarackObama headed back to the White

    House and divided government on

    Wednesday with little time left for

    a compromise with Republicans toavert spending cuts and tax increases

    that threaten a new recession.

    The president also is look-

    ing ahead to top-level personnelchanges in a second term, involv-

    ing three powerful Cabinet portfo-

    lios at a minimum.

    Republicans headed into a sea-son of potentially painful reflection

    after retaining control of the House

    but losing the presidency and fall-

    ing deeper into the Senate minor-ity. One major topic: the changing

    face of America.

    Weve got to deal with the issue

    of immigration through goodpolicy. What is the right policy

    if we want economic growth in

    America as it relates to immigra-

    tion? said former RepublicanParty Chairman Haley Barbour.

    Obama drew support from about

    70 percent of all Hispanics, far

    outpacing Republican challengerMitt Romney.

    There was little time to celebrate

    for the winners, with a postelection

    session of Congress scheduled toconvene next Tuesday. By common

    agreement, the main order of busi-

    ness is the se arch for a compromise

    to keep the economy from fallingoff a so-called fiscal cliff.

    The White House said Obama

    had made postelection phone calls

    to congressional leaders and reiter-ated a commitment to bipartisan

    steps to reduce our deficit in a

    balanced way, cut taxes for middle

    class families and small businessesand create jobs.

    The president said he believed

    that the American people sent a

    message in yesterdays election thatleaders in both parties need to put

    aside their partisan interests and

    work with common purpose toput the interests of the American

    people and the American economyfirst, the statement said.

    Senate Majority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev., told reporters that any

    solution should include higher taxes

    on the richest of the rich. That

    was in keeping with Obamas elec-tion platform, which calls for the

    expiration of tax cuts on income

    over $200,000 for individuals and

    $250,000 for couples.Reid said he spoke with Republican

    House Speaker John Boehner as well

    as Obama Tuesday night as the elec-

    tion results became known, and hedeclared that of course a compro-

    mise was possible on the overall

    issue.

    A 20-year-old male University

    student was arrested Wednesday at

    1:24 a.m. near mile marker 11 of Kan-

    ating under the infuence. Bond was

    set at $500. He was released.

    A 61-year-old Lawrnece man was

    arrested Tuesday at 3:54 p.m. on the200 block of Maine Street on suspicion

    o operating under the infuence, sec-

    ond offense. Bond was set at $1,000.

    He was released.

    SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico

    Puerto Ricans have endorsed U.S.

    statehood or the Caribbean island

    but also ousted the pro-statehoodgovernor in a close election.

    Gov. Luis Fortuno conceded de-

    eat Wednesday to his main chal-

    lenger afer concluding there werenot enough outstanding ballots to

    close the gap with his main chal-

    lenger, Alejandro Garcia Padilla.

    Te margin in uesdays vote wasless than 1 percent.

    Now its time or us to come to-

    gether as one people. Te campaign

    is over, Fortuno said in a news con-erence.

    Fortuno, as a member o the

    pro-statehood New Progressive

    Party, said he was pleased that 61

    percent o voters endorsed becom-

    ing a U.S. state, though critics said

    the two-part ballot was conusing

    to many and would not be enoughto persuade the Congress to accept

    Puerto Rico into the union.

    Fortuno, who is also a Republi-

    can, was a supporter o U.S. presi-dential candidate Mitt Romney and

    campaigned or him in Florida.

    Garcia is part o the Popular

    Democratic Party, which wantsPuerto Rico to remain semi-auton-

    omous U.S. commonwealth.

    Te two-part reerendum asked

    whether the island wanted to changeits 114-year relationship with the

    United States. Nearly 54 percent, or

    922,374 people, sought to change it,

    while 46 percent, or 786,749 people,avored the status quo. Ninety-six

    percent o 1,643 precincts were re-

    porting as o early Wednesday.

    Te second question asked voters

    to choose rom three options, withstatehood by ar the avorite, gar-

    nering 61 percent. Sovereign ree

    association, which would have al-

    lowed or more autonomy, received33 percent, while independence got

    5 percent.

    President Barack Obama earlier

    expressed support or the reeren-dum and pledged to respect the will

    o the people in the event o a clear

    majority.

    Fortuno and Resident Commis-sioner Pedro Pierluisi, the islands

    representative in Congress, said the

    results o the reerendum will be

    delivered to the Obama administra-tion and the leadership in Congress

    with the hope that they will back

    the bid or statehood.

    Te ball is now in Congress

    court and Congress will have to re-act to this result, Pierluisi, a mem-

    ber o the pro-statehood party who

    was re-elected uesday. Tis is a

    clear result that says no to the cur-rent status.

    Te island is currently a U.S. ter-

    ritory whose inhabitants are U.S.

    citizens but are prohibited romvoting in presidential elections. Its

    resident commissioner in the U.S.

    House also has limited voting pow-

    ers.Garcia celebrated his victory with

    supporters at party headquarters.

    I can assure you we have rescued

    Puerto Rico, Garcia said. Tis is alesson to those who think that the

    well-being o Puerto Ricans should

    be subjected to ideologies.

    here is something spe-

    cial that occurs at the endo October, and classes

    shouldnt get in the way o it.

    Sure the dog days o classes

    are weighing heavily upon us,but instead o cracking under the

    pressure we keep going on little

    sleep and a whole lot o caeine.

    Its basketball season. Tere is notime to slack. Te name Jayhawk

    evokes a sense o pride and tradi-

    tion. Te University o Kansas is

    known or basketball. It is almostmandatory to love it in order to be

    a Jayhawk. Here, we do it right. We

    have lottery at 6 a.m., the camp-

    ing all week long, the sprintingto the best seats, the waiting, the

    newspaper ripping, the cheering,and ultimately the game.

    I our world revolves around the

    loudest sporting arena in the coun-

    try and a legendary game with a

    certain set o rules, then why isnteveryone participating? Frankly,

    there exist students that do not

    want to participate. Its crazy tobelieve, I know, but its true. Some

    classes are held in the evening and

    although I think its absolutely ab-

    surd that attendance is mandatory,many are not canceled on account

    o a basketball game. Proessors

    should know that all students are

    going to do is think o the game,check phones or updates on the

    game, and not listen to a word spo-

    ken. rust me, I know I am moreinterested in what @FakeJeWithey

    will tweet next than what I am

    supposed to be learning.

    Dont even get me started onexams. Really? When a schools

    essence screams basketball, why

    is there an exam scheduled smack

    dab in the middle o a game? I

    want to watch the action on the

    court, not draw pictures on my

    scantron.

    Many students matriculate tothe University or the sole experi-

    ence o basketball in Te Phog. Itis a huge marketing point or the

    university or athletes and ans.When I was in h grade my riend

    took me as her guest to watch the

    Jayhawks play at Kemper Arena

    in Kansas City. From the momentI heard that rst swish o a three-

    point shot, I was in love. I began

    to truly appreciate the sport and

    the tradition o basketball at theUniversity. Basketball means ev-

    erything here in Lawrence. It is the

    reason we buy the Sports Combo

    pack. We love sports and we love

    our athletes. Tereore, no one

    should have to choose between

    basketball and anything else.Ill ask the childhood question:

    I you were stranded on an islandand could only have one thing,

    what would it be? My answer: Jay-hawk basketball. It seems like a lot,

    but its the one thing I cannot sur-

    vive without. I bleed crimson andblue and will orever chant rom

    the top o my lungs: Rock Chalk

    Jayhawk!

    he Lawrence bar scene

    oers a variety o enter-

    taining establishments tothe nightlie masses. I you pre-

    er trendy joints with loud mu-

    sic and dancing, look no urther

    than Abe and Jakes Landing. Forthose seeking a diverse selection

    o dra beer, Free State Brewing

    Co. is a more than viable option.Te Hawk and the Wheel havebecome ritual drinking grounds

    or the younger University crowd,

    and its become common knowl-

    edge that dollar night at the Hawkcan make or break any students

    semester.

    But what about the other bars

    around this ne city that are nevertalked about? A night out at a

    hole-in-the-wall drinking es-

    tablishment has become a lost art

    in the ast-paced socializing worldo today, and its about time we

    slowed things down just a bit.

    Teres nothing more rus-

    trating to me than attempting toshoot a crucial billiards shot in a

    crowded bar. Im sure that comes

    o as petty, but its true. When I

    head to Ricks Place, I know thatmy mild orm o claustrophobia

    wont be an issue. Ricks has been

    my go-to social hangout ever since

    I returned to the University two

    years ago. L ocated at ninth and Il-

    linois streets, Ricks has more thanenough interior space to compli-

    ment a less-than impressive crowd

    size. Billiards tables, shueboard,

    darts, heck, even a homemadepopcorn machine is on tap. Te

    music never gets too loud because

    the owner, Rick, usually wants to

    watch a baseball game or watchthe news. Its the little things that

    Ricks provides that keeps me

    coming back or more.

    I know what a lot o you aresaying, why would I go to a hole-

    in-the-wall bar when I could hang

    out with more people at a more

    popular bar? And honestly, Idont really have a legitimate an-

    swer. I have my preerences or

    going out and I respect everyone

    elses as well. My point, and thewhole point o this column really,

    is that a hole-in-the-wall joint

    provides a comortable escape

    rom our academically-demand-

    ing lives in ways that Te Caveand Quintons cannot. Conver-

    sations with riends can be bet-

    ter heard, comortable space is in

    abundance, and theres a vibe thatseems to echo, chill out, bro to

    the drunken olk who grace us

    with their loud and boisterous

    presences every so oen.Either way, Lawrence is provid-

    ing us with a plethora o pleasant

    beer-drinking establishments, and

    we should all be grateul or it. Iyou want to hit up Te Hawk on a

    Wednesday night and stay past 2

    a.m. turning you into a lumber-

    ing human corpse stumbling downOhio street, or as my brother and I

    label them, walkersthen by all

    means party on. College is sup-

    posed to be about personal ree-dom and experiences, and lord

    knows Ive been a walker more

    times than Id care to disclose.

    Just dont orget about the Rickso the world, because they still

    have plenty to oer in the realm o

    modern drinking establishments.

    I youre a loyal reader o the

    Kansan like I am, you know

    that most o the outside

    pages o the paper are only thereto protect the delicate Free For

    texted the FFA at least once. Ive

    even sent in a text (in an attemptto nd a Pok-angirl whos into

    wimpy writers), albeit one that

    was promptly shot down on the

    grounds that it sounded too co-herent and contained a proper-

    ly-used semicolon.

    But many people orget that

    theres an editor behind the FFA.And even though the FFA editor

    gets a ew marriage proposals or

    oers or casual sex per semester,

    I dont think he gets all the re-spect he deserves or overseeing

    the most important oot-and-a-

    hal o type in the Kansan. So Im

    writing a novelization o his ex-periences as editor, and you loyal

    readers who havent yet moved

    on to the real star o the opinion

    page get a sneak peek:Suddenly, a whole bunch o

    them came screaming around

    the corner, sirens blaring. Te

    elt more stifed than the Potter

    and they looked at me like youdlook at a guy dressed as Slender-

    You know why were havingthis little meeting, Editor?

    Squirrels came back and n-

    ished my pumpkin o! Tatsrich, aint it, coppers?

    As I kept laughing, the rus-

    But you got to print it, Mis-ter Editor! Ill be ruined i you

    dont! the dame shouted. She

    had a right to be distressed; it was

    the day beore Halloween, andshe was wearing a Sarah Palin

    mask and a little red dress with a

    neckline so low you coulda called

    it a waistline.Sorry, maam, I slurred

    back between sips rom my hip

    fask, but Im in the business o

    160-character replies. Tis rantabout slutty costumes would

    barely t in the space o three

    tweets, and it would make me

    unollow you, to boot.You dont understand how

    hard it is to go to a party as a Sexy

    Former Governor o Alaska and

    not get laughed out o the build-ing! I you dont print it, I wont

    make it through the night with

    my dignity!

    Te dame was hysterical, andI knew the only way to shut her

    up was to give in. Listen, the dig-

    nitys a lost cause, but i youll cut

    out the last three sentences andadd in a marriage proposal, its a

    done deal.

    Ive seen a lotta strange mes-sages come across that desk in my

    time, I muttered to mysel, but

    I aint never seen one like this.

    Okay, ladies, listen up. At leastone o you is a single, sober Pok-

    anatic who likes to cuddle with

    humor columnists; come nd

    me, stat? Te guys a nutcase.But beore I could say another

    word, I saw the squirrel hurtling

    across the room. Te last thing I

    can remember beore I blanked

    out was an acorn hitting me rightbetween the eyes.

    THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

    entertainment

    Theres nothing like going to themovies. As a kid, Id spend my sum-mer days at the local theater for a$2 matinee. For my first date, Isaw a horror movie and got to holdthe girl when she was scared. Evenin my senior year of high school,Id spend Thursday nights at themidnight releases of films. Movietheaters and movies in general haveplayed a big part in my life, and asan aspiring film journalist, theyllcontinue to do so. Unfortunately,$2 matinees no longer exist, myparents dont give me money fordates anymore, and with rent topay and too many trips to the bar,a night at the movies has become afinancial burden.

    But despite rising ticket prices,3D glasses fees and high popcorn

    prices, seeing the silver screen canstill be affordable. Whether youreinto action, drama or documentary,Lawrence has plenty of options forcheap movie buffs of all sorts.

    The KU Collegiate VeteransAssociation has a free screening

    of the documentary Restrepo at7 p.m. tonight at the KU Visitors

    Center auditorium. The film fol-lows the deployment of a team ofU.S. soldiers in Afghanistan at theremote 15-man outpost, Restrepo.The film won the Grand Jury Prizefor documentaries at the SundanceFilm Festival in 2010, so its criti-cally worth checking out, and thescreening is sponsored by Coca-Cola, so the free drinks alone willsave $10 you would have spent atthe megaplex.

    Also tonight is a snowboard-ing double feature at Liberty Hall.The first screening is the premiereof Absinthe Films 2012 featureResonance, which showcasesnotable snowboarders Scotty Lagoand Danny Cass alongside manymore. I worked at a ski shop inAspen for a bit and boarded asmuch as I could, so trust me, even

    if you dont follow snowboard-ing, these films are a ton of funto watch. The event also featuresthe documentary Open Spaces,by Lawrence native Dalton Paley.Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and ticketsare $5.

    War documentaries and snow-board flicks arent for everyone,

    though, so starting tonight theStudent Union Activities campusmovie series is playing The DarkKnight Rises. For those who didntspend $15 to see it this summeror for those who loved it so muchthey want to see it again, here isyour chance. Tickets are only $2 forKU Students ($3 for general public)so check out the batty blockbusterat Woodruff Auditorium at 8 p.m.tonight through Saturday.

    For a unique movie-goingexperience on really any day ofthe week, check out Liberty Hall.Weve all been to the AMCs andHollywood Theaters of the indus-try, but Liberty Hall is more than100 years old and serves beer. Thetheater shows mostly indepen-dent films but always offers aninteresting variety to choose from.

    And if you cant fit a movie intoyour weekend schedule, Tuesdaysare 2-for-1 movie nights, which istotally worth the weeknight outing.Liberty Hall is currently screeningSeven Psychopaths and LiberalArts, both of which I would highly

    recommend.So either find a lady-friend with

    a big purse to sneak in your store-bought candy, or just try out a freeshowing at an offbeat venue. Eitherway, nothing compares to craning

    your neck in a dark auditoriumwith loud speakers and slippingaway into the magical world ofmovies.

    Its freezing, and the only thingsyou want to put on are your fuzzy

    slippers and a warm hoodie from

    high school. But please, Im begging

    you to not give in to these dangeroustemptations. Just because its below

    zero does not mean all fashion has

    gone out the door. You can still

    be warm and cozy while remainingstylish, and Im about to tell you

    how.

    While winter accessories such as

    gloves and hats may sound dorky tosome, they are nothing but chic and

    smart when done correctly. If youre

    sporting those puffy ski gloves you

    found in the garage years ago, thenmaybe its time for an update. Fun

    styles such as leather and fingerless

    gloves are a must. The fingerless

    style is great for when youre still try-ing to use your phone or drive, and

    can even be worn as a fun accessory

    when its perhaps not even necessaryto wear gloves. Details such as pleat-

    ing, cutouts, bows and zippers make

    staying warm that much cooler.

    As for hats, Im sure most of ushave heard from our parents how

    important it is to wear this article

    of clothing during the chilly falland winter seasons. Not only doesthis accessory help hide a bad hair

    day and trap in warmth, but its a

    great fashion statement as well. Ifyoure familiar with a fedora for

    summer, let me introduce to you

    the winter-friendly version. Rather

    than wearing one made of straw, thewinter rendition is typically made

    from wool, and has a wider, cowboy-

    inspired brim. Opt for a color such

    as burgundy or hunter green, twomajor colors for this season.

    As for coats, the possibilities are

    endless. For chilly fall weather, leath-

    er jackets, trench coats, military-inspired cover-ups and capes are

    must-haves. Add a pattern and you

    have yourself a winner. Turn those

    dreary winter days into fashionablyfreezing temperatures by searching

    for a down coat that doesnt hide

    your figure. It may sound like an

    oxymoron, but not all down coatsmake you look like a marshmallow.

    Knee lengths with a belt at the waist

    help define a human body beneath

    all that warmth. If youre lookingfor something even more fabulous,

    faux fur can be found just about

    anywhere, and the campus squirrels

    will even approve. If youre not readyfor a full fur coat just yet, detachable

    collars for coats, as well as scarves or

    fur-trimmed hats, are a stylish start.

    A unique show with local artistsis preparing to blow the minds ofits patrons with an upcoming per-formance.

    The Kansas Citybased showQuixotic, which originally beganits creative ventures in abandoned

    warehouses and buildings in theKansas City area in 2005, will per-form tomorrow night at the LiedCenter. Much like Cirque du Soleil,the groups routines cover a vari-ety of disciplines including music,dance, film and acrobatics.

    Theres great production valueand great energy in all of theirshows, said Tim Van Leer, execu-tive director at the Lied Center.Theyre always adding somethingand reinventing themselves all thetime.

    While the group is based inKansas City, theyve progressed toa national presence and now have

    a national booking company andheadquarters in Los Angeles andNew York. They also performedat this years annual Technology,Entertainment and Design (TED)conference in Long Beach, Calif.

    Weve gotten to travel all overthe U.S., and now we get to dobigger and better shows in KansasCity, Quixotics principal dancer

    Laura Jones said. We used to doone big show a year, but now weveperformed for different workshops,corporations and performing cen-ters.

    Jones, who has been with Quixoticfor the last four years, shared herthoughts on the shows style.

    Its very unique because of thedancing, she said. We all reallylike the dance styles and love thatwe also get to perform to live music.Its fun to bring new ideas to life andalso explore new ideas.

    The live aspects of the show alsoappealed to another one of the per-formers, Brandon Draper, whos not

    only a contributor to Quixotic butalso an adjunct professor of percus-sion at the University.

    The collaboration and creatingof new pieces has been great becausewere creating our own standard,Draper said. Everything the col-laboration and different disciplines is completely on our own andoriginal and local.

    Draper, who has been contrib-uting since 2008, was originallyrecruited to the show to write apiece for them. Since then, hescontributed with the shows othermusicians and revealed that a fewUniversity students will also be par-ticipating.

    We hope that people in Lawrencewill become fans and students cometo see boundaries pushed furtherthan before, he said. They mightsee different takes on how every-thing with the show works togetherand let their imaginations go fur-ther.

    Robert Zemeckis makes hislong-awaited return to live actionwith the release of Flight, his firstnon-animated effort since helm-ing Castaway with Tom Hanksback in 2000. Viewers put off bythe doll-eyed languor of his CGIPolar Express and Beowulf can rest easy knowing the Back tothe Future directors abilities arelargely undiminished, despite theuneven quality of his newest work.

    Flight is a well-meaningmlange, a drama that starts off as

    a powerful, fiercely acted charac-ter study before nose-diving intoa forced, arbitrary resolution thatstrains credulity and contradictseverything the audience has bythen come to understand aboutWhip Whitaker, the alcoholicairline pilot played with implo-sive intensity by an Oscar-caliberDenzel Washington.

    When we first meet Whip, hesshacked up in a hotel room withnubile flight attendant Katerina(Nadine Velazquez), nullifying theprevious nights hangover with afew liberal snorts of cocaine. It ismade clear from the beginning thatdespite a surfeit of skill and a back-ground in the Navy, Whip is a sad,arrogant waste of a man, one whocertainly has no business workingas a pilot.

    Less than an hour later, this sameman is flying a jetliner carrying 102passengers in the midst of a rag-ing thunderstorm, his nerves fixedsomewhere between ice-veinedassurance and reckless mania.Suddenly the controls fail and theaircraft enters free fall. Whip, call-ing on all his experience and aconsiderable amount of dumb luck,manages to set the plane down in afield outside of Atlanta, minimizingpassenger casualties while execut-ing a complete inversion, a processthat requires flying upside down.

    Zemeckis stages the crash withstartling intimacy, immersing the

    viewer in a fog of fear and panic.The lurching chaos on display isoffset by Whip calmly comfortinghis flight crew, even when the planeglides close enough to a church thatits wings cut through the steeple.This is the most effective scene ofits kind since the ending of Paul

    Greengrasss United 93.The rest of the movie deals withthe aftermath of the crash, includ-ing the investigation that kicks offwhen Whips blood tests reveal theapparent hero was legally intoxi-cated at the time of the accident.This prompts Charlie (BruceGreenwood), Whips longtimefriend and a pilots union rep, toelicit help from a flashy Chicagolawyer (Don Cheadle) who bragsthat his clients never go to jail.Whip, wracked with guilt over thesix deaths he may have caused,hooks up with a recovering junkie

    named Nicole (Kelly Reilly, Dr.Watsons wife in the SherlockHolmes series) and tries to soberup in time for a hearing with aninvestigative bigwig (Melissa Leo).

    Aside from Washington, Flightalso features several invaluablesupporting performances. JohnGoodman elevates his every scene asWhips jocular drug dealer Harling,whose arrival is usually heraldedby the Rolling Stones Sympathyfor the Devil (just one of the gemson the films oldies-laden sound-track). Greenwood, an underratedperformer if there ever was one, letshis characters brotherly concern

    for Whip shine through his low-keyexterior in a way thats genuinelymoving.

    The trailer for Flight suggests avery different movie from the oneyoull find here. This isnt a conspir-acy thriller or an action film in thevein of Washingtons runaway trainhit Unstoppable. This is a por-trait of a self-destructive alcoholic,similar in spirit to something likeLeaving Las Vegas. Washingtonscharacter is not meant to beespecially likeable, but his flawsnever feel less than fully, tragicallyhuman.

    The downfall of the film isits unabashed Hollywood end-ing, which compels Whip to startbehaving in ways that only serve todrive the plot, closing the story ona note of sour sentiment, roughly15 minutes after a scene that wouldhave made for an ideal farewell.Its as if Zemeckis, after more thantwo hours of dutifully chroniclingWhips spiral of substance abuse,suddenly wanted to make anentirely different movie, adding aLifetime-worthy conclusion thatgrounds the rest of Flight like iceon the wings of a plane.

    Beore every practice, beoreevery walkthrough and beore

    every home game, the Kansas

    Jayhawks are reminded o what is

    expected rom them.A huge whiteboard with a list o

    team goals hangs just outside the

    Jayhawks locker room. I the goals

    are met, a helmet sticker is addedor that game; i not, it stays blank.

    his season the stickers have been

    coming in patches, but that hasnt

    altered Kansas objectives.he goals never change, Kansas

    coach Charlie Weis said. You add

    things to that list, you dont take

    things away rom that list.At the top o the list: Win a Big

    12 game. From there the list gets

    more speciic. he deense has its

    eyes set on holding their oppo-nent to under 21 points, less than

    125-yards rushing and to make a

    minimum o 15 disruptive plays

    tackles or loss, umble recoveries,delected passes, etc.

    For the Kansas players, the stick-

    ers represent a point o pride, butnot every action gets rewarded with

    a piece o adhesive art. For some

    Jayhawks, their personal goals are

    just as important.Its improvement in leadership

    that has reshman quarterback

    Michael Cummings ocused.

    A leader that is looked up toby his teammates always leads by

    example irst and speaks second,

    Cummings said. hats one o thethings I like to do.

    For some o the other Jayhawks

    the goal is to play at their ull

    potential, and the inability to reachthat isnt something a sticker can

    bandage.

    I expect mysel to do so good,

    but I still am a young buck outthere on the ield, sophomore tight

    end Jimmay Mundine said. Im not

    happy at all because Ive got high

    expectations or mysel. I workedhard over the summer to achieve

    those goals and hopeully go above

    and beyond those goals.

    Mundine has been working tobecome more sound in the Kansas

    run game. He said in practice heeels comortable with his oot-

    work, but in games he sometimes

    panics as a blocker. As a receiver,Mundine hopes to add onto his

    total o two touchdowns this year.

    I there is one thing about these

    Jayhawks, its that they can see howclose they are to getting an elusive

    Big 12 victory. he last ew years

    o Kansas ootball has seen players

    looking worn down as the season

    has come to a close. With this teamits the opposite. here is optimism

    in the locker room, and the players

    eel closer than ever to getting overthe hump.

    But getting climbing that hill

    this year will require something

    Kansas hasnt done since Sept. 12,2009: win a road game.

    Id like to develop a mindset

    that it doesnt matter where you

    play, Deensive coordinator DaveCampo said. wo o our next

    three are on the road. We can make

    some strides.

    Campo and Weis have bothreused to continue with the

    same road plan they have used all

    season. One o the tweaks is or the

    Jayhawks to hold a walkthrough at

    the road venue to get more accli-mated to the surroundings and

    keep the players ocused on oot-

    ball when they run out o the tun-

    nel on Saturday.Changing Kansas road mental-

    ity could kill two goals with one

    sticker getting a Big 12 win and

    doing so outside o Lawrence.

    We all need to do a better jobwhen were on the road, Weis said.

    In the last three games, thats not

    the way its gone. hat would be an

    add-on, not a subtraction.

    Kansas basketball ans can

    melt down with the best o

    them, and uesdays awul

    showing against Washburn, a Divi-sion-II opponent rom opeka, gave

    them as good a reason as any to do

    just that. But this isnt about the vast

    dierences between a meaninglessexhibition and the regular season,

    because anyone who watched that

    62-50 abomination o a basketball

    game topped o with the great

    reeree im Higgins, who has neverseen a touch oul he didnt love

    saw that Sel cared little about throt-

    tling the Ichabods by 40 points. Histeam played badly, and at times he

    yanked guys out aer one mistake,

    undoubtedly trying to send mes-

    sages beore the real games start to-morrow night.

    Tis isnt about Kansas possibly

    struggling to win its ninth Big 12

    regular season title in a row, either.With all those puppies, as Sel calls

    them, on the roster, it would be hard

    to argue against someone picking

    the Jayhawks to relinquish their Big12 crown.

    But I gave up on picking against

    Sel in the regular season last year.

    Hes too good.Allen Fieldhouse is too big o a

    home court advantage.Te rest o the Big 12 is not tal-

    ented enough and too intimidatedby Sel and his teams, especially over

    an 18-game conerence schedule.

    But there are defnite question

    marks.We dont have guys that will go

    out and get you 36 between the two

    o them over the course o a Big 12

    season like Tomas and y did, Selsaid last month at Big 12 Media Day.

    Tat will be the challenge to me is

    having the really good players step

    up and become excellent players.Te roster is ull o good players,

    and or the frst time since 2005-

    2006, there isnt a clear star or

    group o stars, like 2008 as oright now. A ew o those puppies

    will turn into all conerencetype

    players, my vote going to Ben Mc-

    Lemore and Perry Ellis.Senior center Je Withey will

    eventually become that next great

    Kansas big man, taking over or

    Tomas Robinson, Cole Aldrich,Darrell Arthur and on and on. With-

    ey averaged 9.0 ppg and 6.3 rpg last

    season as Tomas Robinson drew

    all the attention rom opponents.Tomas would get doubled,

    and Je would beneft rom that,

    Sel said at last months Big 12 Me-dia Day. Tis year, deenses will be

    designed to stop Je, so him getting

    12 points a game will show great im-

    provement.Doubting Witheys ability to take

    over that role isnt unwarranted. But

    doubting a Kansas big man to take a

    leap in production when given theopportunity is oolish.

    Robinson took over or the Mor-

    ris twins, who ollowed Cole Al-

    drich. Aldrich ollowed DarnellJackson and Sasha Kaun, who sat

    behind Wayne Simien or a season.

    All o those players played proes-

    sionally at one point.Te bottom line is, Sel said at

    last seasons awards banquet, when

    talking about the roster turnover

    hes aced nearly every season whilecontinuing to win the conerence,

    We do what we do.

    Tere isnt a simpler way to put it.

    COUNTDOWN TO

    beatdown in Manhattan

    sunfloWer sWeep

    MANHAAN, Kan. Kansaswas struggling, and they were

    struggling badly. For the second

    straight match, the Jayhawks didnt

    even compete in the irst set, losing

    to Kansas State 25-13.Sara McClinton didnt care.

    Heeding the words o injured

    libero Brianne Riley, McClinton,the sophomore outside hitter, took

    over late in the second set, record-

    ing two kills and the set-ending

    block to draw Kansas level withKansas State at one set apiece.

    I got a lot o my mentality rom

    Bri, McClinton said. Since she

    couldnt contribute playing-wise,she was like, Ok Sara, you need

    to have conidence in yoursel and

    have the team eed o o it. Youre

    one o the most calm ones rightnow, so use that to attack and

    demand the ball.

    Ater taking the second set

    28-26, the Jayhawks won two more

    extended sets, 26-24 and 27-25, tosweep the Wildcats in both season

    games or the irst time since 2009.

    Both teams had to scrap until

    the end, though. he Jayhawks led24-22 in the ourth set, but a ser-

    vice error and a Wildcat block tied

    the set at 24. Sophomore outsidehitter Chelsea Albers respondedwith her 11th kill o the match,

    and Kansas converted its ourth

    match point on the next play when

    a Wildcat attack went long.I had a eeling we had it the

    whole time, and then it was 24-22

    and they came back, junior setter

    Erin McNorton said. I did get alittle nervous. I still thought we had

    it, but once that inal point went

    down it was crazy.

    Coach Ray Bechard said he wasrustrated his team committed two

    service errors late in the set that

    could have cost them the victory,

    but that his team proved their resil-iency by converting on their ourth

    match point.

    We made a lot o great plays toinally inish the set o, Bechard

    said. But you cant have back-to-

    back service errors at that point

    in time. But thats a team thatsresilient in that they can ind a way

    to make another play to make up

    or that.

    he Jayhawks are in the tough-est stretch o

    their sched-

    ule, hav-

    ing alreadyd r o p p e d

    Iowa Stateand Baylor.

    With a home

    match loom-

    ing against Big12leading exas

    on Saturday, Kansas was running

    out o chances to impress the

    NCAA Selection Committee.Ater the irst set, the only

    impression Kansas made was

    that it didnt have any chemistry

    without Riley.

    he Wildcats had two o their

    six service aces in the irst set and

    repeatedly orced Kansas out osystem with its serves. Without

    Riley, the Jayhawks couldnt estab-

    lish a go-to person in the back line

    or digging. K-State took advantage

    with 15 irst set kills.In the beginning it was super

    shaky, McNorton said. I think

    thats what gotus o to the bad

    25-13 start was

    our passes were

    just not there, sowe had to resort

    to out-o system

    plays.

    While Kansasback line strug-

    gled at irst, its

    middle blockers and outside hit-

    ters made up or it at the net. Bothteams inished with 11 blocks, but

    Kansas made more o them at criti-

    cal times. Senior middle blocker

    ayler oleree and McClinton

    teamed or the block that gave

    Kansas the second set, and Albers

    was part o a late block in the thirdand ourth set that extended the

    Jayhawks lead.

    Four Jayhawk attackers inished

    with double-digit kills. Bechardsaid McClintons 16 kills were

    important because many o themcame in the irst two sets when

    Kansas was still iguring out itspassing.

    hey were a little out-o-system

    sets and she took heavy, aggressive

    swings, Bechard said. We talked

    a little bit about competitive cour-age beore the match started, and

    I think that was a good example

    o it.

    Kansas moved to 21-5 overalland 9-3 in the conerence with the

    victory. he Jayhawks play at home

    Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against No.

    oFFeNseThe Jayhawks passing game has been an issue all year. Even with a solid run

    game, Kansas inability to throw has robbed itsel o valuable points. We saw last

    week against Baylor that playing high-scoring teams on the road would be the

    ultimate challenge or the Jayhawks. It does have to take an Andrew Luck-type

    perormance, but neither Kansas starting quarterback has completed more than

    50 percent o its passes since losing to Kansas State.

    deFeNseThe Jayhawks deense didnt do their oense any avors last week. Kansas gave up

    21 unanswered points in the second hal ater a close battle in the frst 30 minutes.

    Part o the problem was the Bears passing game backing up the Kansas deenders

    and allowing Baylor to run. The good news: While Texas Tech boasts the ourth-best

    passing game in the country, it has the worst run oense in the Big 12.

    momeNTumTexas Tech presents many o the same oensive problems as

    Baylor did a week ago. Quarterback Seth Doege has passed or more

    touchdowns (19) than anyone else in the Big 12, while throwing just

    seven interceptions. But the Red Raiders oense is somewhat one-

    dimensional. Texas Tech averages only 3.5 yards per rush, so the key

    to this game will be slowing down Techs passing game.

    aT a GLaNce

    This part o the season will

    get very tough or running

    backs coach Reggie Mitchell.

    Kansas biggest weapon is its

    stable o runners, but teams

    are starting to catch on. Ater

    rushing or nearly 100 yards

    in the frst hal against Baylor

    last week, James Sims fnished

    with just 126 yards. Keeping

    the run eective will be crucial

    or the Jayhawks in their last

    three games.

    coachING PLayer To WaTch

    Ron Doherty returned to orm last Sat-

    urday with six punts averaging 44.3 yards

    per kick. Fixing the pestering special teams

    problems has been a huge concern or Kan-

    sas coach Charlie Weis lately. Ater calling

    or all hands on deck it seems hes ound

    some more stability with the unit. Still, feld

    goals have got to become a more viable op-

    tion or the low-scoring Jayhawks.

    sPecIaL Teams

    ?

    quesTIoN marKs

    ?

    Can James Sims keep up his streak o 100-yard rushing games?

    The Jayhawks certainly need his production. Will Texas Tech tempt

    Weis to opt or more passes? Since becoming the Jayhawks starter,

    Michael Cummings has only completed 22 o 49 pass attempts.

    And will the Jayhawks score more than 20 points? They havent

    been able to do so since putting up 23 on Northern Illinois in week

    our.

    Kansas can perorm on the road

    like it does at home. The Jayhawks

    have been able to limit high-scor-

    ing oenses to 21 points or less

    in Lawrence, but not on the road.

    Staying competitive until the end

    is the next challenge or Kansas.

    Its hard to have any momentum ater giving up 21

    oFFeNseTexas Techs oense is red hot and one o the best in the Big 12. Texas Tech leads the

    conerence or most passing touchdowns. Led by quarterback Seth Doege and a strong

    oensive line, the Red Raiders oense is mostly passing oriented. Doeges thrown 31

    touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year and hopes to improve his numbers against

    Kansas. Running backs Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens Jr. have not been involved in

    game plans very much. Expect the Red Raiders to go pass heavy on the Jayhawks.
