    The Mount Oread Scholars

    program will end in May after 16years at the University because of

    the Honors Program expansion.

    The Mount Oread program pro-

    vides resources like living learningcommunities, seminars and advis-

    ing for incoming freshmen with

    high abilities. It is meant to foster

    a sense of community and helpwith the transition into college.

    A lot of it is working against

    the myth that high-ability stu-

    dents are automatically success-ful the moment they step onto

    a college campus, and inevitably

    thats inaccurate because theyre a

    student population, just like any,

    that has special needs, said DanMcCarthy, scholar adviser.

    To be eligible for the program,

    students must have an ACT score

    of 28 or higher and graduate inthe top 20 percent of their high

    school class. After their freshman

    year, they can to mentor incoming

    freshman and speak at events.Kathryn Tuttle, assistant to

    the provost, said next year, the

    Honors Program will includeMount Oread Scholars. She said it

    is a more comprehensive program

    for high-ability students, and the

    Honors Program will give themmore access to honors courses.

    The Mount Oread Scholars

    program has been a wonderful

    program, Tuttle said. Its beengreat for the students. The staff

    and faculty that were involved had

    an excellent program.

    Zach Dennett, a freshman from

    Winfield, is a member of MountOread Scholars and the living

    learning community at GSP-

    Corbin Hall. The living learning

    community houses students tak-

    ing similar classes on the samefloor.

    Its nice because we do every-

    thing as a floor, Dennett said. SoI have really close connections

    with my floor. The main thing is

    Ive enjoyed all of the activities

    and that theyve introduced meto all the friends I have right now.

    I kind of feel bad that upcom-

    ing freshman dont get the same

    opportunity I got. Edited by Emma McElhaney

    Adam Buhler didnt wait to walk

    down the hill at graduation beforewalking down the aisle to get mar-

    ried.

    The 27-year-old Lawrence native

    said graduating was not a prior-ity over marriage. Buhler said he

    always looked forward to getting

    married growing up and didnt feel

    he needed to graduate before mar-rying the perfect girl. He married

    his wife Karen at age 22 and now

    the couple has two children, a two-

    year-old son and a four-week-olddaughter.

    I know other students stay out

    and party all night, but they can

    come home and take a nap dur-ing the day, Buhler said. I cant

    because I have a kid to take care

    of.A recent study taken from five

    different colleges shows Buhler

    may not be alone in putting mar-

    riage above graduation.

    Five professors from BrighamYoung University surveyed 536

    college students and their parents

    about the ideal age to get married.

    They also studied the differenc-es between college students andtheir parents views on marriage

    readiness criteria. The age students

    chose as the perfect or ideal time in

    their lives to get married was 25.Buhler said that juggling school

    and a family

    definitely teach-

    es you to priori-tize.

    We studied

    better because

    we were stayingin school and

    could encour-

    age each other

    along the way,Buhler said.

    Other students agreed that 25

    was an ideal age and appropriate

    time in their lives to get married.Paul Pierce, a sophomore from

    Kansas City, Mo., said that 25 is an

    ideal age to get married because

    most people are fresh out of col-lege and entering the professional

    world.

    For me, I look to get married

    when I am 25 because I plan to be

    graduating from law school aroundthat time, he said.

    Alanna Muirhead, a sophomore

    from Elkhorn Neb., said that any-

    where between 25 and 30 would bean ideal age for marriage because

    students will have graduated by

    then and have had

    time to live theyoung life a little

    while.

    At the age of

    25, you can gradu-ate from college

    and do some back-

    packing around

    Europe or go on amission trip, what-

    ever sparks your fancy, Muirhead

    said.

    Muirheads father, David

    Muirhead, agreed with his daugh-ter. He also said that the right age

    may be higher for women who

    have finished professional schooland established a career before set-

    tling down.

    Not everyone agrees with the

    studys find-

    ings.

    W h i t n e y Antwine, a junior

    from Dallas, was

    shocked by the studyresults and disagrees

    that 25 is the ideal age to

    marry. She said that personal

    maturity has more to do withthe right time to get married

    than age does. Antwine is 27 and

    decided to come back to school to

    finish her degree.I have learned so much about

    myself this time around because I

    am older and take different things

    more seriously than when I was21, Antwine said.

    Antwines mother, Diane

    Holliday, also said that 25 is way

    too young to get married. Hollidaysaid that students need to graduate,

    find a job and live on their own fora few years in order to f ind out who

    they are as a person.Honestly, not much should

    happen before youre 30, Holliday

    said.

    The study also researched

    stu-

    dents

    o p i n -

    ions onthe impor- tance of

    factors for marriage readiness such

    as interpersonal competence and

    familial capacities. This showedthat students find personal knowl-

    edge of themselves and readiness

    to start a family important when

    deciding the age to get married.Eric Bowman, a sophomore

    from Chanute, said his ideal age

    to marry would be 28. He said his

    main reason for the extra threeyears is based on the tendency of a

    married couple to have children.

    It h i n k

    a parent

    shouldnt be too

    old so that they can still be active

    with their children, Bowmansaid. But I also believe a parent

    shouldnt be so young that they are

    ill-prepared.

    Freshmen produce movie

    A commons room in Gertrude

    Sellards Pearson (GSP) was hop-ping with about 10 college fresh-

    man pretending to be drunk for

    a class project for Liberal Arts

    and Sciences 101, which workedin conjunction with the course,

    Introduction to the Film Medium.

    The film, T Buffet of Life, pre-

    mier was held in the Kansas UnionWoodruff on Nov. 28, leaving the

    crew with around a month and a

    half to produce the half an hour

    long film.I was really disappointed with

    amount of time we had to makethe movie, said Zach Dennett, a

    freshman from Winfield. For the

    amount of time that we had, we

    did an awesome job, so I was happywith what we did at the given cir-

    cumstances.

    The plot, about a new girl in a

    boring school and two guys fight-ing for her companionship at the

    upcoming dance, portrays stereo-

    types in high school movies.

    Most of the students partici-pating in the course are not film

    majors. Michael Riedl, a freshman

    from El Dorado, said despite his

    lack of experience he was cast as amain character.

    For the most part we were able

    to draw on our experiences to act

    as what certain people where like in

    our high school and try to embodythose characters, Riedl said, My

    character was a loud jock who was

    up in everyones grill and being a

    goof ball.The goal of the film project

    was to help students realize their

    potential as high ability students,

    develop collaborative workingskills and build a sense of commu-

    nity on their floor of GSP, said Dan

    McCarthy, the seminar instructor.

    Share photos on Snapchat

    For people looking to send tem-

    porary photos to your friends and

    family, no need to worry. Theres

    an app for that.Snapchat, an app created by

    Stanford students Bobby Murphy

    and Evan Spiegel, provides people

    with a new, unique way to com-municate. The app enables users

    to send photos to other users, but

    theres a catch. These photos are

    only visible to the receiver for oneto 10 seconds. Users can also add

    short captions to the photos that

    they send.

    The app is currently thefourth-most downloaded app on

    Apples App Store and the 19th

    on Androids Google Play store.

    According to Spiegel, there are 30million photos shared on Snapchat

    each day.

    Snapchat has also spread to the

    KU campus. Campbell Gatehouse,a sophomore from Orono, Minn.,

    said Snapchat has become one of

    her main ways to communicate.I text and use Snapchat

    equally now, Gatehouse said. I

    Snapchat a lot because its easierand quicker than texting because

    its more straight to the point.

    Spiegel said part of the inspi-

    ration behind Snapchat was hisdissatisfaction with the state of

    social media.

    We wanted to do somethingthat was more fun, Spiegel said.

    Social media had gotten really

    boring. People werent acting

    naturally and were too worriedabout trying to impress their

    friends.

    In an age when users face

    the pressures of maintaining andimproving their social media

    profile and persona, Snapchat

    provides user with a unique

    social media experience thatemphasizes entertainment and

    spontaneity.

    Madison Wagner, a senior

    from Fort Myers, Fla., said thatalthough she enjoys Snapchat and

    uses it often, she doesnt believethe app will become a social media

    staple like Facebook or Twitter.I think this [Snapchat] is going

    to be a fad, like Draw Something,

    because youre constantly taking

    pictures of yourself and being

    funny with your friends, but thatsonly going to be fun for so long,Wagner said.

    POLICE REPORTS

    Dont hold your breath wait-

    ing for a fiscal cliff agreement.Landmark deals between presi-

    dents and Congresses sometimes

    arent struck until the final hour

    of the final day before lightningstrikes.

    The negotiations to avert a year-

    end economic disaster of automatic

    tax increases and spending cutsmay be following such a pattern.

    With just four weeks to go tothe fiscal cliff, the postelectiontest of wills is being played mainly

    in public on television shows,

    news conferences and by President

    Barack Obamas campaign-styleexcursions to gin up popular sup-

    port and strengthen his bargaining

    hand.

    Theres been little progress at thenegotiating table.

    In fact, there doesnt even seem

    to be a negotiating table.

    Were nowhere, period, HouseSpeaker John Boehner told Fox

    News Sunday.

    Treasury Secretary Timothy

    Geithner, Obamas point man forthe talks, went on five Sunday news

    shows to reiterate the administra-

    tions insistence on higher taxes for

    households earning over $250,000.After all, Obama ran on it and

    Democrats see raising taxes on the

    wealthy as a mandate.

    Republicans oppose increasingany tax rates, while saying theyre

    willing to trim unspecified deduc-

    tions to boost tax revenues.

    They mostly want to tame soar-ing deficits with federal spending

    cuts, particularly on entitlement

    programs such as Medicare and

    Medicaid.Strangely, the simplest option for

    both the president and Congress

    doing nothing and going over the

    cliff would give both sides a lot

    of what they want. Obama would

    get higher taxes on the wealthy.And Republicans would get deficit-

    slashing spending cuts.

    And a lot more.

    Defense spending would alsosuffer from across-the-board cuts,

    which Republicans dont want. And

    nearly everyones taxes would rise,

    which neither side wants.While some of the self-inflicted

    mix of tax hikes and spending cuts

    could be undone retroactively, the

    austerity bomb could trigger a newrecession.

    Unfortunately, how this plays

    out may not be known until werewelcoming in 2013.

    DHAKA, Bangladesh As 112

    of her co-workers died in a gar-

    ment-factory fire, Dipa Akter gotout by jumping from the third floor

    through a hole made by breaking

    apart an exhaust fan. Her left leg is

    wrapped in bandages and she hastrouble walking.

    Now she wants back in.

    If the factory owner reopens

    the factory sometime soon, we willwork again here, the 19-year-old

    said. If its closed for long, we have

    to think of alternatives.

    Major retailers whose productswere found in the fire have dis-

    avowed the Tazreen Fashions Ltd.

    factory, but workers who survived

    have not. They cant afford to.Factories like the one gutted

    Nov. 24 are a rare lifeline in this

    desperately poor country, and now

    many of the more than 1,200 sur-

    viving employees have no work

    and few prospects.

    Akter spent 25 minutes tryingto get down the smoke-filled stairs

    before jumping, which she said was

    the only option other than being

    burned.Despite her injuries and trauma,

    she needs the job. Without it, she

    said, she would either be a house-

    maid or jobless in her home vil-lage.

    Almost one-third of Bangladeshs

    150 million people live in extreme

    poverty. There are few formal jobsin villages, where about 70 percent

    of the population lives. Garment

    work is one of the few paths to

    secure a stable income, collectsome savings and send money to

    family especially for young,

    uneducated rural women, who are

    already trained to make clothes at

    home.The industry has given women

    in this Muslim-majority, conserva-

    tive nation an accepted opportu-

    nity to leave their homes and jointhe main workforce.

    I have a life here. Akter said.

    I have a timetable to wake up inthe morning and I know when I

    should go to bed.

    Akter made about 4,550 takas($57) a month sewing pants, shirts

    and nightgowns.

    Press, McAfee confirmed a post-

    ing to his website in which hedescribed, in what appeared to

    be joking tones, how he mounted

    the ruse.My double, carrying on

    (sic) a North Korean passport

    under my name, was detained

    in Mexico for pre-planned mis-behavior, McAfee wrote in the

    posting, but due to indifference

    on the part of authorities (he)

    was evicted from the jail and wasunable to serve his intended pur-

    pose in our exit plan.

    McAfee did not describe the

    entire plan, nor did he say whereexactly he was now. In a previous

    interview with the AP, McAfee

    had said he had no plans to leave

    Belize.Im not going to leave this

    country, he had told the AP.

    I love this country, this is my

    home. I intend to fight the injus-tice thats here from here, I cant

    do much from outside, can I?

    Police in Belize have called him

    a person of interest in the slay-ing of fellow American Gregory

    Viant Faull and asked him to turnhimself in for questioning.

    Faull was shot to death in earlyNovember. McAfee acknowledges

    that Faull had complained about

    his dogs, which were poisoned

    shortly before Faulls killing, butsays he didnt kill Faull.

    ISTANBUL The leaders ofRussia and Turkey on Monday

    downplayed differences over theSyrian civil war, saying they shared

    the common goal of trying to endthe humanitarian crisis there and

    hailing their countries booming

    trade ties.

    President Vladimir Putin ofRussia, one of Syrias few remaining

    allies, said he understood Turkish

    concerns about its border security

    after Syrian shells hit Turkish terri-

    tory in recent months.

    But he warned that Turkeysrequest that NATO deploy Patriot

    missiles on its border with Syriacould escalate fears of a wider con-

    flict. Turkey and its Western andArab allies are calling for the ouster

    of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

    We share Turkeys concern

    about the developments on the bor-der, said Putin. But we are calling

    for restraint because increasing

    (military) potential will not settle

    the situation but create the oppo-

    site effect.After meeting Putin in Istanbul,

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep

    Tayyip Erdogan said the Turkishand Russian foreign ministers willwork together more intensively on

    the Syrian problem.

    Russia has blocked tough action

    against Syria with its SecurityCouncil vote at the United Nations,

    while Turkey has urged the estab-

    lishment of an internationally pro-

    tected buffer zone for civilians in

    Syria.

    Putin and Erdogan empha-sized the blossoming economic

    ties between their two countries,

    saying they should aim for bilat-eral trade to triple to $100 billion a

    year. Russian and Turkish officials

    signed 10 agreements on trade,

    energy, finance, banking and otherissues.

    Putin was making his first trip

    after a two-month hiatus that

    raised concerns about his health.

    THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

    entertainment

    Alicia Keys can do it all.

    Since graduating as valedictorian

    from the Professional PerformingArts School in New York City atthe age of 16, Keys has appeared in

    three major motion pictures and

    released five studio albums. She is

    a rare R&B artist with the abilityto belt out an Aretha-esque soul

    ballad one minute and then turn

    around and play Beethoven like a

    virtuoso the next.Keys fifth studio album Girl

    on Fire is her first release since

    2009 The Element of Freedom.

    Beginning with the second song,Brand New Me, she makes it

    clear that her life has changed

    drastically since the last album.

    She sings, Its been a while, Imnot who I was before, which is

    understandable considering she

    married producer Swizz Beatz and

    gave birth to a son in 2010.While Girl on Fire constantly

    attempts to convey the new emo-

    tions Keys feels in her life, manysongs either miss the mark or feel

    forced and clich. The prominent

    piano chords and creative song-

    writing of past hits such as YouDont Know My Name and If

    I Aint Got You are too often

    missing. Instead, several songs feel

    like boyband filler tracks albeitextremely well sung ones.

    The lowpoint of the album is

    the syrupy-sweet love song Thats

    When I Knew. The problem withthis track isnt the subject matter

    she mentions love in virtu-

    ally every song she writes but

    the grating cuteness of acousticguitar behind emotionless vocals.

    Fans have come to love Keys for

    her empowering lyrics and force-

    ful singing, and this one leavesthem with a corny description of

    weak knees and butterflies in

    the stomach.

    Not all of the songs on Girl on

    Fire are this bad. Many initiallyseem promising but end up lack-

    ing Keys characteristic flair for thesoulful. The album does improve

    toward the middle with a series

    of three songs: Fire We Make,

    Tears Always Win and Not

    Even the King. Fire We Make isa funky slow jam with incredible

    falsetto vocals from R&B singer

    Maxwell, and Not Even the Kingreverts to the classic sound of Keys

    alone with a piano and her singing

    voice.

    Girl on Fire isnt an utter fail-ure by any means, but it is striking-

    ly mediocre when compared with

    Keys past work. Fans should con-

    sider picking and choosing fromthe better songs on iTunes rather

    than buying the entire album.

    LONDON The most wide-

    ly anticipated pregnancy sincePrincess Dianas in 1981 is offi-

    cial: Prince Williams wife, Kate, is

    pregnant.

    St. Jamess Palace announced thepregnancy Monday, saying that the

    Duchess of Cambridge formerly

    known as Kate Middleton has asevere form of morning sicknessand is currently in a London hospi-

    tal. William is at his wifes side.

    News of the pregnancy drew

    congratulations from across theworld, with the hashtag royalba-

    by trending globally on Twitter.

    The couples first child will be

    third in line to take the throne leapfrogging the gregarious Prince

    Harry and possibly setting up

    the first scenario in which a U.K.

    female heir could benefit from newgender rules about succession.

    The palace would not say how

    far along the 30-year-old duchess

    is, only that she has not yet reachedthe 12-week mark. Palace officials

    said the duchess was hospitalized

    with hyperemesis gravidarum,

    a potentially dangerous type ofmorning sickness where vomiting

    is so severe no food or liquid can

    be kept down. They said she was

    expected to remain hospitalizedfor several days and would require

    a period of rest afterward.

    Its not unusual for pregnant

    women to get morning sickness,but when it gets to the point where

    youre dehydrated, losing weight

    or vomiting so much you begin to

    build up (toxic) products in yourblood, thats a concern, said Dr.

    Kecia Gaither, director of mater-

    nal fetal medicine at Brookdale

    University and Medical Center in

    New York.The condition is thought to

    affect about one in 50 pregnant

    women but Gaither said less than

    one percent of women with the

    condition need to be hospitalized.The news came just days after

    the duchess, on a royal appearance,

    played field hockey with children

    at her former school.Not only are the attractive young

    couple popular with Williamseasy common touch reminding

    many of his mother, the late Diana

    but their child is expected to

    play an important role in Britishnational life for decades to come.

    William is second in line to

    the throne after his father, Prince

    Charles, so the couples first childwould normally become a mon-

    arch eventually.

    The fiscal cliff poses a mul-titude of well-documented

    problems. The crisis cur-

    rently consuming our airwaves is

    a many sided issue that does notoffer a straightforward answer. But

    if no agreement can be made our

    economy will get the shaft of the

    political gridlock. The messagethis would send to the American

    people of bickering over serving

    would be the most damaging facet

    of not reaching a deal and ourdemocratic process would suffer

    those ramifications.

    The reason for this self-imposed

    time bomb is the motivation ofcatastrophe to force a settlement

    (cage-match style) in order to con-

    front the debt problem but it could

    have the opposite effect, furtherexacerbating the problem. The

    consequence of not reaching an

    agreement by the end of the year

    is the automatic end of the Bushtax cuts for all income groups as

    well as major spending cuts. This

    is worrisome because we havelearned that lowering spendingand raising taxes to such a degree

    during or shortly after a recession

    can be bad news for the recovery.

    The Great Depression, in addi-tion to being deep, was rather

    lengthy. The length was perpetu-

    ated by the recession within the

    Depression coming in 1937. In1937, when economic recovery

    was on the horizon, there be came

    a sudden emphasis on debt and a

    concern to immediately addressthe issue. So in the midst of

    the worst recession in memory,

    similarly draconian levels of

    spending cuts and tax hikes wereimposed, successfully weighing

    the economy down until 1941.

    If that sounds familiar that is a

    big reason why the cliff has beenso villain-ized, however naysay-

    ers have a point as well. While the

    Congressional Budget Office has

    forecasted that going off the cliffwould result in recession, some

    have been quick to note that it

    also said that it would take a full

    year of these policies for a reces-

    sion to be the result; that would

    put the date for resolving the cliffin December 2013. These observ-

    ers have also called the cliff a

    mischaracterization by the media

    saying it only serves to dramatizethe situation. Instead they call it a

    slope or a variety of other gener-

    ally less-steep things. However the

    idea from these individuals thatwe could go over the cliff without

    a hiccup, because these changes

    would not immediately have an

    effect, seems flawed.Even if a deal was struck early

    next year. there would likely beplenty of consequences and they

    could be both immediate andlong-lasting. The longer it takes

    to reach an agreement, the more

    uncertainty will flood the econo-

    my and that is not an environmentconducive to economic recovery.

    That would be an unlikely anti-

    dote to our tenuous economys

    stress.Perhaps the biggest mistake

    in flunking the fiscal cliff may

    manifest itself in the messageWashington D.C. sends the public.

    A failure to compromise on this

    issue, whether the cliff is only

    a matter of perception or not itdoesnt matter, would further

    characterize the dysfunction of the

    government and negatively impact

    our democratic process. The bestsolution to this puzzle may just be

    any solution at all.

    Especially in liberalLawrence, a popular

    sentiment among

    many young adults is to go

    with the flow and do whatcomes naturally. And when

    it comes to relationships, sci-

    ence tells us that what comes

    naturally is interestinglyenough not monogamy.

    By nature, most people

    at least subconsciously crave

    some sort of stable relationshipbecause of its emotional and

    social benefits. But for some of

    us who are considering going

    the opposite direction into anopen relationship, or one in

    which people date but have

    sexual encounters with others

    outside the relationship, we needto weigh our options before we

    dive right into such a nontradi-

    tional framework.

    I recently had dinner and

    drinks with a former crush inLeawood, and the newly single

    Kansas alumnus made it clear

    that he was enjoying the single

    life and later suggested that evenan open relationship can be a

    beautiful thing. Unsurprised tohear that from him, I scoffed.

    A week later, though, I was stillwondering about open relation-

    ships and their effect on the

    people.

    By no means am I a prudeabout sex and dating and feel

    like relationships are one-size-

    fits-all institutions, but I cant

    help but be skeptical of justhow beautiful an open relation-

    ship really is. It may work for a

    minority group of students, but

    what about the rest of us?Open relationships arent

    always recipes for disaster, and

    if they do work for us, they can

    reap serious benefits. For people

    who can handle them, theyoffer the best of both worlds: an

    exhilarating rush from new sex-

    ual adventure and the comfort

    and stability of partners we cancount on. In the wake of long-

    term relationships that often

    become stale, hearing about

    other people who are single orare dating openly can send us

    spiraling into jealousy.

    But speaking of which, if we

    enter open relationships outof jealousy but cant stand the

    emotional heat, the structure

    of them can keep us there.

    Open relationships may not betotally taboo or less valid than

    exclusive ones, but they tend to

    be like making $5 bets with a

    slot machine: exciting becausethe payoff could be big, but

    may leave you suffering from

    remorse if the house wins in the

    end.Open relationships that col-

    lege students may experience

    can spawn emotional casualties

    if they go awry, leaving us jeal-ous, upset and self-conscious.

    The reward can be high, but the

    risk can be ever higher.

    If we hesitate to partake, we

    shouldnt even go there, espe-cially if were thinking about

    transforming an exclusive

    relationship into an open one.

    Doing so will likely break aheart in the process and cause

    irreparable harm unless bothpeople equally want to be

    open.

    This phenomenon is unlike-

    ly, however, so if were cravingan open relationship but our

    partners arent, we should

    probably have no relationship

    with them at all.Open relationships may

    be exciting and beneficial for

    many of us, but meanwhile

    shouldnt consider monogamyto be binding and outdated.

    Sometimes whats traditional is

    good, and if we find that it is

    for us, we should take it and letit ride.

    When I left Leawood, I

    couldnt stop thinking our

    conversations during my drive

    down K-10. He said that even ifwe tried, we probably wouldnt

    work out as a couple, and that

    didnt upset me.

    So maybe that kind of struc-ture works for my old crush and

    some of his alma mater at the

    University now.

    But I knew it wouldnt workfor me, and the potential exhila-

    ration and free attitude of openrelationships shouldnt trump

    our ideals if they dont ultimate-ly fit the mold because itll leave

    us wishing they hadnt.

    In the end, openness and

    exclusivity are up to us, andagainst a backdrop of hallowing

    the go-with-the-flow attitude of

    open relationships, we shouldnt

    have to apologize for desiringa dating life a little more tradi-

    tional for the sake of being truly

    satisfied.

    in education from Wichita. Follow

    her on Twitter @Rachel_UDKeith.

    Ive been distracted from

    politics lately. I wont call

    it depression, but Ive been

    stuck in a happiness recessionever since I made the ill-advised

    decision to leave home and get aproper education.

    Ive only slept eight hourstotal in the past three days and

    I can feel the medicine creeping

    out of my system. I got a D on

    my Bio test and Im one slip-upaway from losing my scholarship,

    packing up my things and riding

    K-10 back home. And as much as

    I want to go home and sleep in abed that actually fits me, I know

    I couldnt look my parents in the

    eye if I ever failed. So Im crying

    on the floor of my dorms emptylounge, hoping that no one comes

    in and sees me, and kind of hop-

    ing that someone does. Im too

    proud to show anyone that Imhurting. Im supposed to be num-

    ber one.

    This is way too hard and I

    need someone, or something,

    to blame. Its my adviser, for

    pushing me into an 18-hour

    schedule of mostly honors

    classes. Its my parents forhalting my spending and

    constantly reminding me howmuch money I owe them. And

    please for the love of God, letme blame this emotional insta-

    bility on a chemical imbalance

    brought about by medicinal

    withdrawal or something. Justdont let me be broken.

    Everyone thinks they have the

    quick fix to cheer me up. Workharder, work less. Hang out with

    friends, spend some more time

    alone. Eat healthier, get drunk.

    But these are short-term solu-tions; Im trying to get better.

    Im going to a therapist now. Im

    trying to do some volunteer work

    because God made me strong andI owe it to help others as much

    as I can. So I join my girlfriend

    in her classes where she teaches

    dance to kids with mentaldisabilities. I bond with a little

    girl who has Down syndrome.

    She smiles and learns to clap

    her hands along with a be at and

    I learn that I can overcome myrelatively small disabilities and be

    happy.

    I go back to school the next

    day with a fresh outlook and a

    great attitude. And then I dontfeel so great. I run to the bath-

    room and vomit five times. I

    shiver and burn my way through

    a 103-degree fever and wind uplying on a hospital bed, bracing

    myself for every syringe like ahuman pincushion. The doctor

    says with near certainty that I

    got the infection from one of

    the kids at the dance class and

    strongly advises that I dont do itagain. I can do no right.

    I want to go back to my simple

    high school days at ShawneeMission East, where I could bean all-star student without even

    trying. But even the school has

    changed; they lost a beloved

    senior/star athlete/all-around-great kid in an accident and the

    very next day, another student

    lost her father. Everyone is hurt-

    ing and I just want it to be likethe good old days.

    I sit down at my computer

    before my deadline and just

    cant bring myself to write about

    cabinet appointments, GeneralPetraeus or taxes. Ive become

    consumed with something. And

    Im not going to call it a hap-

    piness recession anymore Ihave depression. But Im in good

    company. My high school is in

    a depression. My country is in a

    depression. So Ill talk about poli-

    tics anyway. Just like a scared col-

    lege freshman, we are struggling

    and want to blame our problemson a common enemy: on Obama,

    on China, on the rich or on the

    poor. We want to help Israel justlike I wanted to help Sarah, butwe cant even take care of our-

    selves. As truly as I cant go back

    to high school, we cant go back

    to the Reagan or Clinton years;weve already graduated. And just

    like my friends with their advice,

    everyone thinks they can fix the

    country with a quick tax codechange or spending cuts. But we

    ASSocIAtED PRESS

    New faces come to Statehouse

    TOPEKA, Kan. Nearly a

    third of the Kansas Legislaturesmembers will have no previ-

    ous experience in either cham-ber when lawmakers convene in

    January, bringing new energy andless predictability to their next

    annual session.

    The large freshman class is

    likely to have a big influence overhow lawmakers and conservative

    Republican Gov. Sam Brownback

    close a projected budget short-

    fall and follow up on massiveincome tax cuts enacted this year.

    Turnover in the S enate will push it

    to the political right following the

    ouster of moderate GOP leaderswhod worked with Democrats to

    stall initiatives from Brownback

    and other conservatives.

    Some veterans believe that newlegislators impatience will be a

    significant issue for their leaders

    and expect some early hitchesin drafting policy as lawmakersreceive on-the-job training. But

    Brownback also will have solid

    majorities of fellow GOP conser-

    vatives in each chamber.In the House, 49 of the 125

    members will have no prior leg-

    islative experience. Four of 40

    senators will have no previous

    service in the Legislature, though

    12 are new to the chamber afterserving previously in the House.

    Everybodys going to come in

    with the attitude of, I know whatswrong, and Im going to fix it you know, be a giant, said Sen.-

    elect Jim Denning, a conservative

    Overland Park Republican, whos

    coming off of two years in theHouse. We think were going to

    get in here and fix it by the end

    of the day.

    Newcomers already were a sig-nificant voting bloc as legislators

    prepared for party caucuses in

    both chambers Monday to pick

    new leaders. Candidates for thetop jobs in both the House and

    Senate wooed them and prom-

    ised open communication and asignificant role in policy-making

    for freshman.

    In the House, Republicans

    retained their 92-33 majority in

    this years elections, and 40 GOPlawmakers-elect have no legisla-

    tive experience. Nine Democrats

    also are newcomers.The Senates party division

    also remained unchanged, with

    a 32-8 GOP advantage. But 14

    Republicans will be new to thechamber next year, including the

    four with no legislative experi-ence. Democrats have two new

    senators, both former House

    members.

    The Legislature has so many

    new faces partly because of politi-cal redistricting. A bitter stale-

    mate between GOP factions pre-

    vented lawmakers from approv-ing any redistricting legislation,

    forcing three federal judges to

    redraw political boundaries to

    ensure equal representation.Also, Brownbacks fellow con-

    servatives and allies such as the tea

    party movement, abortion oppo-

    nents and the powerful KansasChamber of Commerce made a

    concerted and largely successful

    effort to defeat GOP moderates in

    the Senate.Conservatives are eager to

    push legislation that previously

    stalled in the Senate, such as a

    proposal backed by Brownbackto give the governor and legisla-

    tors more power over appellatecourt appointments. There are

    also initiatives pushed by Housemembers who will be joining the

    session, such as a measure aimed

    at allowing concealed weapons on

    university campuses.

    VENTURA, Calif. A sus-pected smuggling vessel rammed

    a U.S. Coast Guard chase boat

    during a counter-drug operation

    off the California coast, killingone Coast Guard member and

    injuring another, authorities said.

    Chief Petty Officer Terrell

    Horne III, 34, of Redondo Beach,

    was pronounced dead Sundayafter he was brought ashore at

    Port Hueneme, said James Baroni,

    Ventura County chief deputymedical examiner.

    Horne suffered a traumatic

    head injury in the crash near the

    Channel Islands west of Malibu,Coast Guard officials said.

    The second man was treated for

    minor injuries. His name wasnt

    released.Homeland Security Secretary

    Janet Napolitano said Monday

    that Horne and fellow crewmem-

    bers of the Coast Guard cutterHalibut were engaged in an at-

    sea interdiction when they came

    under threat by a small vessel thatrammed their small boat.

    A Coast Guard maritime patrol

    aircraft spotted a panga an

    open, low-sided fishing boatfavored by Mexican smugglers

    before dawn and the cutter wassent to intercept it, officials said.

    The cutter deployed a smallerinflatable chase boat, but as that

    vessel approached the panga with

    its blue light flashing, the panga

    veered toward it at high speed andstruck it before fleeing.

    Horne and another crewman

    were thrown into the water.

    Another Coast Guard vesselstopped the fleeing panga and

    detained two suspects.

    Asked whether any drugs were

    found, Coast Guard spokesmanAdam Eggers said he could not

    immediately comment.

    Smuggling boats carrying

    drugs or illegal immigrants fromMexico have been ranging far-

    ther and farther north along the

    California coast.

    Our fallen shipmate stoodthe watch on the front lines pro-

    tecting our nation, and we areall indebted to him for his ser-

    vice and sacrifice, said AdmiralRobert J. Papp, Coast Guard com-

    mandant.

    Napolitano said the tragedywas a reminder of the dangers

    men and women in uniform face

    daily while protecting the nation.

    She said her thoughts and prayerswere with Hornes family and all

    Coast Guard personnel.

    LOS ANGELES Results are

    in from the first test of Martian

    soil by the rover Curiosity: So far,

    there is no definitive evidencethat the red planet has the chemi-

    cal ingredients to support life.

    Scientists said Monday a scoop

    of sandy soil analyzed by the rov-ers chemistry lab contained water

    and a mix of chemicals, but not

    the complex carbon-based com-pounds considered necessary for

    microbial life.

    The latest findings reported

    at a meeting of the AmericanGeophysical Union meeting

    in San Francisco came from an

    instrument aboard the six-wheel

    rover that baked the soil and ana-lyzed the gases released.

    Curiosity landed in Gale Craternear the Martian equator in

    August on a two-year mission to

    study whether the environment

    on Mars could have been favor-able for life.

    The dirt at Curiositys land-

    ing site appeared similar to that

    found in regions visited by otherMars spacecraft, scientists said. It

    contained water, sulfur and pos-

    sibly perchlorate, a compound

    made up of oxygen and chlorine.NASAs Phoenix lander, which

    touched down near the Martian

    arctic, previously found perchlo-

    rate in the soil.The rover did find a simple

    carbon compound, but scientists

    have yet to determine whether its

    native to the red planet, or camefrom elsewhere.

    Scientists think the best chance

    of finding complex carbon is

    at Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-high

    mountain rising from the craterfloor. Curiosity wont trek there

    until early next year.

    A comment two weeks ago by

    the missions chief scientist ledto speculation that Curiosity had

    made a major discovery that

    would be announced Monday.

    But NASA last week said thatwasnt the case.

    The rover is the most sophis-

    ticated spacecraft sent to Mars.

    The rover Opportunity hasbeen exploring craters in Mars

    southern hemisphere since 2004.

    Opportunitys twin, Spirit, fell

    silent in 2010 after getting stuckin a sand trap.

    Senior center Je Withey was

    named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Mens

    Basketball Player o the Week orhis perormances in the two games

    the No. 9 Kansas mens basketball

    team played on November 24 and

    December 2.Withey helped Kansas (6-1) to

    victories against San Jose State and

    Oregon State by averaging 16.5

    points, 8.5 rebounds and 7.5 blocksduring the week.

    Im eeling like Im on a roll or

    sure, Withey said in availability

    beore the Oregon State game. I de-initely want to keep it up. Im getting

    extra shots up with coach Roberts

    and trying to get more aggressive.

    Coach Sel is trying to install that inmy head.

    he 7-oot tall Withey also

    notched his irst career triple-double,

    only the second in Kansas history. Inthe Jayhawks game against San Jose

    State; he scored 16 points, blocked 12shots and grabbed 12 rebounds.

    His 12 blocks set a new school

    record or most rejections in the

    game.Whats been really impressive is

    how big o

    a presence

    Withey hashad on the

    deensive

    end with-

    out gettinginto oul

    t r o u b l e .

    He is aver-

    aging lessthan one

    oul per game this season.

    I you have ive ouls, and weve

    played six games and youre a big

    guy, maybe not as aggressive as youneed to be, but on the lip side it does

    show that his timing is o the charts,

    and his ability to stay away rombody contact when hes blocking balls

    above the head is tremendous, Sel

    said at his press conerence beorethe Jayhawks played Oregon State. I

    thought the other night, we played

    poor deense on many possessions,and he just bailed us out.

    By being selected or the award,

    Withey became the second consecu-

    tive Kansas player tobe named the Big 12

    Player o the Week

    ater senior guard

    ravis Releordreceived the honor

    or his perormance

    in the CBE Classic.

    his is the sec-ond time Withey

    has received this honor, the irst on

    February 13 last season, ater he ledthe Jayhawks to wins against then

    No. 6 Baylor and Oklahoma State.

    Withey and the Jayhawks returnto the court against ormer coner-ence oe Colorado (6-1) on Saturday

    downs in the second hal to deeatexas and capture the Big 12 title.

    Kansas State was ranked sixth in the

    Big 12 preseason polls. Coach Bill

    Snyder deserves a lot o credit orhelping Kansas State nish the season

    on top. Te team will play Oregon in

    Bears will play UCLA in the Bridge-

    point Education Holiday Bowl, hoping

    to translate their hot run into a bowlwin.

    2. oklaa (10-2)

    Oklahoma came o two narrow

    wins and concluded the seasonwith a big road win against exas

    Christian. A loss to Kansas State

    and Notre Dame earlier this season

    hurt a little, but the So oners playedwell enough to earn a spot in the

    A& Cotton Bowl against ormer

    Big 12 rival exas A&M.

    8. texas te (7-5)

    exas echs season was over earlyand coach ommy uberville has a lot o

    concerns with his team. Te Red Raid-

    ers lost our o their last ve games and

    will go into the Meineke Car Care Bowlo exas against Minnesota lacking

    momentum.

    3. texas (8-4)

    exas coach Mack Brown has a

    lot to work on with his team be-ore playing Oregon State in the

    Valero Alamo Bowl. exas con-

    cluded the season with two losses

    in a row. Brown has a little overthree weeks to decide who he

    thinks is the best t or quarter-

    back in the Alamo Bowl.

    6. wes Virginia (7-5)

    West Virginia dealt with a lot oproblems in the Big 12 this season

    and a win against Iowa State and

    Kansas didnt help them in the

    rankings. Coach Dana Holgorsenmust do a better job preparing his

    ootball team beore it takes on

    Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe

    Bowl.

    7. texas crisian (7-5)

    Coach Gary Patterson didnt get the

    ending that he wanted or his ootball

    team. However, the Horned Frogs n-

    ished 2-2 in a tough our game stretch.

    A close loss to Oklahoma set CU backa little bit and will nish its season

    by playing in the Bualo Wild Wings

    Bowl against Michigan State.

    9. Ia Sae (6-6)

    Iowa State concluded its season

    last week afer all ing short to WestVirginia. Te Cyclones were pro-

    jected to nish near the bottom o

    the Big 12. Although they nishedninth, they played well enough toearn a trip to the AutoZone Liberty

    Bowl and will play ulsa.

    4. oklaa Sae (7-5)

    Oklahoma State wanted to bounce

    back rom its tough overtime loss toOklahoma, but Baylor prevented that.

    Te Cowboys nished their season

    with questions regarding who their

    quarterback will be or the Heart oDallas Bowl against Purdue.

    10. Kansas (1-11)

    Kansas ended a long season on a

    bad note afer it allowed a season-higho 59 points against West Virginia.

    Even though coach Charlie Weis saw

    a more competitive team, he wants tosee that spirit translate into wins nextseason. Kansas is the only Big 12 team

    to not play in a bowl game.

    Tuesday

    Sundays announcement that the Notre

    Dame Fighting Irish and the Alabama

    Crimson Tide will face off in the BCS

    Championship game was a surprise to no one.Between Notre Dames perfect season and the

    SEC championship game win for Alabama,

    the two schools clearly outshined any other

    schools case for the chance to play for thechampionship.

    The matchup is one that most college foot-

    ball fans wanted to see, but there is still agood argument that schools like Georgia,

    Kansas State, Florida and Oregon should have

    a chance to play for the championship as

    well. It is unfair those schools do not have achance to play Notre Dame and Alabama and

    prove they belong with the teams selected to

    play in the biggest game of the season (though

    Georgia did have that opportunity in the SECchampionship game).

    The playoff system that will begin in 2014

    allows for the course of the season to be deter-

    mined on the field rather than in the handsof computers and companies with greedy

    interests. The nature of sports, after all, is to

    watch two teams battle on the field with theknowledge that any team could win on anygiven day.

    While both Notre Dame and Alabama have

    earned their spot in the championship game,

    the prize is diminished as there is no advance-

    ment through a playoff system. The playoffsystems in professional sports allow for a

    clear champion to be crowned as it measures

    a teams abilities at the end of the year. In the

    BCS system, an entire season can be unraveledby an early regular season loss before a team is

    able to find its footing.

    Over the past two seasons in the NFL,

    the Giants and Packers won the Superbowlafter surging late in the season to earn a wild

    card spot. While the two teams were not elite

    regular season teams, they were able to correctmistakes and play their best when it matteredthe most.

    In the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings went

    into the playoffs as the eighth and final seedin the West before winning the Stanley Cup.

    These Cinderella stories are the reason why

    playoffs are so fun to watch, and is also why

    March Madness is the best month of sports,professional or collegiate.

    KENtucKy fallS out of toP 25

    The Kentucky Wildcats, who defeated the

    Kansas Jayhawks for the championship lastseason, may finally be seeing the consequenc-

    es of relying so heavily on one-and-done

    players.

    Coach John Calipari has built a tremen-dous programs over his career but had per-

    haps his best team last season as Kentucky

    cruised through the regular season and the

    NCAA tournament on the way to their eighthnational title.

    Kentucky then lost six players to the NBA

    draft and replaced them with more great tal-

    ent. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, the talenthasnt gelled, and the team has stumbled to

    a 4-3 start with losses to Duke, Baylor andNotre Dame.

    Still, Calipari knows how to get young

    talent to produce at a high level and should

    lead Kentucky back into the top 25 and to adeep tournament run. It is likely, however,

    that Kentucky will be dethroned this season.

    Not only does the field look stronger, but the

    Wildcats do not possess the same level of skillthey did last season.

    Jayhawk fans will delight in the early strug-

    gles of the team that derailed their champion-

    ship aspirations last year, but dont sleep on

    Calipari and the Wildcats. They may present avery dangerous challenge come March.

    Two freshmen up for Heisman TrophyNEW YORK Johnny Manziel

    and Manti Teo are in position to

    make Heisman Trophy history.

    Manziel, the redshirt freshman

    quarterback from Texas A&M, andTeo, Notre Dames star linebacker,

    along with Kansas State quarterback

    Collin Klein, were invited Monday

    to attend the Heisman presentationceremony.

    Manziel is the favorite to win

    college footballs most famous player

    of the year award on Saturday nightin New York. He would be the first

    freshman to win the Heisman and

    the first Texas A&M player since

    halfback John David Crow won theschools only Heisman in 1957.

    Im overwhelmed by this tre-

    mendous honor of representing

    Texas A&M, the 12th Man andall my teammates in New York,

    Manziel said in a statement. This

    is a dream come true for me, and I

    know its a credit to all my coaches

    and teammates. I definitely wouldntbe a Heisman finalist without my

    teammates and coaches.

    Three sophomores have won the

    award (Tim Tebow in 2007, SamBradford in 2008 and Mark Ingram

    in 2009), but the best a first-year

    player has ever done is second.

    Adrian Peterson of Oklahoma fin-ished second to Southern California

    quarterback Matt Leinart in 2004.

    Peterson was a true freshman. As a

    redshirt freshman, Manziel attendedA&M last year and practiced with

    the team but did not play.

    Michael Vick of Virginia Tech

    As a shooter, freshman guard

    Andrew White III has spent

    numerous hours studying the

    great NBA shooters and tryingto mold his games after the best

    parts of his game.

    From his favorite player, Miami

    Heat guard Ray Allen, White likeshow quickly he gets his feet set

    before a shot. With Dirk Nowitzki,

    White appreciates his high follow-

    through.Because of his father, White also

    grew up studying former Indiana

    Pacer guard Reggie Miller.

    Reggie was just a cold killer,

    White said before the Jayhawksgame against Oregon State. Out

    of Reggie Miller, I think his men-

    tality, his cockiness, I think thatwas the best part about him. He

    knew he was the best shooter in

    the world at that time and I think

    thats a lot of what made him sucha good player.

    And then theres five-time NBA

    champion Kobe Bryant, who

    White says most young playerslook up to. He said he admires

    how Kobe knows how to create

    separation with his body and his

    shoulder movement.Thats something that I always

    look to do better, White said.

    White first made a name for

    himself as a shooter in a Kansasuniform when the team traveled

    to Europe over the summer toplay four exhibition games.

    In Europe, White led the teamin scoring by averaging 11 points

    per game and knocking down

    eight of his 18 3-point attempts

    on the trip.The Richmond, Va. native real-

    ized he had a gift for shooting

    towards the end of middle school.

    Rather than move outside tostart putting up as many 3-point

    attempts as he could, he stayed

    within 15 feet of the basket and

    waited until he was older andstronger to start shooting threes.

    I actually didnt shoot a

    3-pointer until my 11th grade

    year, White said. I think thatpaid off in the long run because

    I was always trying to perfect the

    mid-range game.

    White had a breakout game lastFriday against Oregon State. And

    more important to his develop-

    ment as an all-around player and

    as a contributor to the Jayhawks,he did it not just with scoring, but

    by pulling down six rebounds in

    13 minutes of play.

    He turned it over a coupleof times, but at least he got

    in there and fought, Self

    said in his postgame

    comments. Whenhes your second

    l e a d i n g

    rebound-er from abig guard

    spot, you

    know hes

    not nervousto get his nose

    dirty.

    Through the first seven games

    of the season, White is averagingonly 6.2 minutes per game, so he

    knows he has to take full oppor-

    tunity of every chance he gets on

    the court.I know defense is something

    you have to do to stay on the

    court, White said. So when Im

    out there for that minute or two,Im trying to keep my head on a

    swivel, trying to move quickly,

    and concentrate on what I do

    best, which is shooting the ball.Coming off the bench also

    means that White wont have

    many opportunities to get out of

    cold streaks, and he must capital-ize on every 3-point attempt he

    gets.

    To avoid cold streaks, he gets

    into the gym to put up shotswhenever he can.

    I dont have the gift of just keep

    shooting myself into a hot streak,

    White said. I just get into thegym on my own a lot, I just enjoy

    putting up shots on my own, thats

    what keeps me confident.

    Womens basketball

    Jayhawk ear ewrakig at no. 17

    ethaN [email protected]

    After seven straight victories,

    coach Bonnie Henrickson and

    the womens basketball teamfind themselves ranked No. 17

    in the Associated Press Top-25

    coaches poll. This is the highest

    ranking since Dec. 6, 1999 when

    they were ranked No. 14 in thenation.

    After a victory over the

    Minnesota Golden Gophers onSunday, the Kansas Jayhawks

    find themselves at 7-0 for the

    third straight season.

    Kansas is one of 19 unbeatenteams in Division I basketball.

    Of those 19, five are from the Big

    12: No. 3 Baylor, No. 12 Texas,No. 16 Oklahoma State, No. 22

    Iowa State and Kansas.

    Kansas defense has been key

    they have yet to allow a team toscore over 60 points. Jayhawk

    opponents have averaged just

    over 51 points per game while

    shooting 34.8 percent from the

    field.

    The Jayhawks start hasbeen fueled by seniors forward

    Carolyn Davis and guard Angel

    Goodrich. The duo is averag-

    ing a combined 27.3 points pergame.

    The Kansas bench has also

    contributed to the teams early

    success. In particular sophomoreforward Chelsea Gardner. She

    found her shot during the past

    week in Jayhawk victories over

    Grambling State and Minnesotascoring 26 and 14 points in the

    respective games.

    The Jayhawks face another

    test Thursday as the team trav-els to Fayetteville, Ark., to face

    the Arkansas Razorbacks. The

    Razorbacks are 7-1 on the year,

    Rheir sole loss was to No. 13Oklahoma on Nov. 23.

    Edited by Hannah Wise

    Iam not a football coach, nor have Ispent extensive time with legends BillParcells or Bill Belichick like Kansas

    coach Charlie Weis has.But I do watch a lot of football.I believe that when Weis opened up

    the Jayhawks game against West Virginiaby trotting out senior Dayne Crist atquarterback, he showed he might nothave what it takes to turn the Kansasprogram around.

    Yes, the team has improved from lastyear, being competitive at times, but itwas a joke how many times this seasonWeis returned to playing the proven bustknown as Crist in games when he under-whelmed whenever he stepped foot onthe field.

    So why did Weis think it would be anydifferent this time around?

    If youre a coach, your responsibilityis to put your team in the best situationto win the game; against West Virginia,Weis didnt do that. When facing a fast-paced offense, you dont want to get in ashootout, especially when your quarter-backs havent thrown a touchdown to awide receiver all season.

    The best way to shut them down andtake away their momentum is to relyheavily on the ground game, milking theclock and keeping your opponents high-octane offense on the sidelines.

    Kansas has the pieces to do this.Between running backs James Sims,

    Tony Pierson, Taylor Cox and BrandonBourbon theres no reason to try to keeppace with the Mountaineers through theair.

    If Weis truly wanted to be revolution-ary or original, he couldve changed uphis attack and used a different groundapproachthe triple-option.

    Not the spread-option or read-option that has overtaken college footballrecently, but the good ole triple-optionwith the quarterback under center whereeveryone knows youre going to run theball, they just dont know who will becarrying it.

    It relies on deception to move the ballforward on the ground and employsmultiple runningbacks on the field atthe same time. It isnt a viable long-termsolution in the current college footballclimate, but for one game it couldvetaken West Virginia by surprise.

    Cox wouldve been perfect as thedive back and the prospect of Sims andPierson sharing a backfield would makeany football fan salivate.

    When the defense is guarding theedge, Cox takes the ball up the middle.When they squeeze in, the quarterback,preferably Christian Mathews or the for-gotten about Kale Pick an effectiverunner out of the quarterback positionas a freshman takes it outside andoptions the end by pitching it to eitherSims or Pierson.

    Not only did the Jayhawks have a wholetwo weeks to install a unique offense, butWest Virginia wouldve spent their weekpreparing for the wrong offense, leavingthem scrambling to make adjustments.

    If Kansas comes out on its first pos-session and rips off an extended scoringdrive, taking time off the clock, its awhole different ball game.

    Maybe Kansas gets its first conferencewin since 2010.

    Instead, Weis stuck with Crist as hisoffensive wrinkle and after two drives,the game was all but over.

    Weis showed that he is not the new,humbled coach he presented himselfas in his introductory press conference.Instead, he is just as stubborn as ever, andmay not be the solution to the Jayhawksfootball woes.

    Weis can talk about recruitingwhichis importantall he wants, but at the endof the day, hell never win at Kansason talent alone, the victories will onlycome if hes finally able to out-coach hisopponent.
