Frazier started on a ade routewhen the ball was snapped,but then it was well covered byKansas, so he transitioned intoa hook. As Lynch shaded tohis lef, he had time to settle inwith no one in pursuit. Frazier

planted his oot and hookedaround to get back to his quar-terback.

Tere was only one problem:Kansas cornerback BrandonStewart was caught in themiddle o it, and didn’t veerhis head to check on the quar-terback. Te pass ell incom-plete, and Stewart was called

When Elizabeth VanSant firstcame to the University, sheknew there would be a lot ochanges to make. Afer grad-uating rom a class o only 44students, VanSant ound her-sel surrounded by more than27,000 people on a campus lit-tered with hills and stairs.

For most people, climbingthe steep inclines means be-ing a little out o breath or, atmost, dealing with an ill-timed

cramp on the way to class. ForVanSant, it means an internalbleed.

VanSant, a sophomore romSt. Louis, has hemophilia, ablood disorder that preventsher blood rom clotting prop-erly.

A common issue with he-mophiliacs is severe internalbleeding, particularly at the

 joints. Last year, VanSant de- veloped an internal bleed inher lef hip rom the stressplaced on it by excessive uphillwalking, causing her to miss

several days o class.“Here on campus, it’s so hilly.

As a reshman my body wasn’t

used to it,” VanSant said. “Iwould have a lot o issues withmy hips, just rom walking.”

Because she had to keep herlef hip elevated, VanSant de-

 veloped another bleed in herright shoulder.

“I’m still having issues withthat,” VanSant said. “I can’tplay the piano, and when I’mtaking lessons once a weekwith an instructor who doesn’treally understand what I’m

going through, it’s pretty di-ficult.”

Now, as a sophomore, Van-

Sant says her muscles arestronger and have adjustedto the amount o walking shedoes. o treat her hemophilia,VanSant inuses hersel ev-ery ew days with the actor 9protein her blood is missingto help it clot. Te process isquick — no more than 15 min-utes, she said.

“I know my body and I cantell when I’m getting a bleed,”VanSant said. Tat’s when it’s

time to inuse, she said.Because the inusions require

an intravenous line, treatment

can sometimes be tricky. Van-Sant does the inusions hersel,sometimes having to stick her-sel with a needle two or threetimes to find a vein.

“It used to be difficult, but Ithink I’ve gotten the hang oit,” VanSant said.

Her mother, Becky VanSant,said i Elizabeth doesn’t get herinusions ofen enough, the re-sults can be ugly.

A pass sails over the heads of Memphis receiver AnthonyMiller and Kansas cornerback Brandon Stewart.

Te Lawrence Art Center col-laborated with retired Universityproessor Paul Stephen Lim tohost a ree film series on immi-gration this month.

Lim approached the Arts Cen-ter eight months ago and sug-gested several ideas or film seriesthat he thought “might be topicalor the community,” he said. Di-rector o Digital Media and FreeState Festival Film Curator at the

center Marlo Angell respondedimmediately to his immigrationseries idea, so Lim selected threefilms his personal collection oover 7,000 DVDs.

Te three-week series will in-clude three films, “Alamo Bay,”“Te Visitor,” and “A Better Lie.”A discussion will ollow eachshowing, and a guest panelist willintroduce each film. Te panelis made o retired anthropologyproessor Felix Moos, Englishproessor Marta Caminero-San-tangelo and retired women’sstudies proessor OmoolaboAjayi-Soyinka.

“Allthreeo these moviesreflect

 very accurately what happens tolegal immigrants as well as ille-gal immigrants, and I think theissues raised will just grow moreand more topical with the com-ing election — particularly withthe stance that many o the re-publican [candidates] have takenon immigration,” Lim said.

One o his picks, by Frenchdirector Louis Malle, is the 1985film “Alamo Bay.” It tells the storyo Vietnamese immigrants whocame to the exas at the tail-end o the Vietnam War. Many

o the immigrants took jobs asfishermen, which caused tensionbetween them and the exanfishermen who had been thereor years.

Te 2007 film “Te Visitor”directed by Tomas McCarthyis about a widowed proessorwho arrives at his New York Cityapartment afer an absence tofind it occupied by an immigrantcouple — one Syrian and theother Senegalese. Te proessorallows them to stay, and the filmtells the story o their resultingriendship.

Te most recent film in the

series “A Better Lie” was made

in 2011 and directed by ChrisWeitz. It explores the topic o im-migration rom Mexico with thestory o the relationship betweenan undocumented gardener inLos Angeles and his natural-bornteenage son.

Te total immigrant popu-lation o the United States isapproximately 41.3 million, orabout one in eight o the totalpopulation, according to the U.S.Census Bureau. Tis includesimmigrants o both documentedand undocumented status.

Few issues are receiving asmuch attention as immigrationamongst the prospective 2016presidential candidates. For ex-ample, Donald rump’s state-ment on Mexican immigrationsparked a whirlwind o angeramongst a portion o Americanpublic.

“Tey’re bringing drugs.Tey’re bringing crime. Tey’rerapists,” rump said in his three-page statement. “And some, I as-sume, are good people.”

Moos, one o three panelists,has decades o experience study-ing immigration and working

with dis laced ersons Follow

ing the Vietnam War, he spenttime on Guam working with Ad-miral George Stephen Morrisonon Operation New Lie, a pro-gram that aided the more than100,000 Vietnamese reugeeswho ended up in Guam afer theall o Saigon.

Moos cited the reugee crisis inSyria as making the film seriesespecially relevant. An estimated6.5 million have fled since theconflict began in 2011, accordingto United Nations High Com-missioner or Reugees.

“Some countries are more will-ing to take reugees than others,”Moos said. “Countries like Den-mark or Sweden that used to takemany reugees are now becom-ing reluctant this is a universalproblem or Western Europe orthe United States.

“It’s a world problem, and thecommunity at large should beaware o what’s happening.”

Lim said he thinks much o theworld alls victim to empathyoverload in the ace o interna-tional immigration issues. Hehopes his series will humanizethe “mostly aceless” immigrants

otheworld hesaid

“I think these are good filmsto begin with, and they’re worthseeing because they’re goodmovies,” he said. “Secondly, weare shown personal stories, pri-

 vate lives, the struggles o peo-ple—afer all, we are a nation o immigrants, and many o us haveour own individual stories wecan tell.

“But when you read about thesetremendous numbers o people,right now, or instance, in Europewe have these incredible num-bers o people who are migrat-

ing to Hungary and Austria andGermany, all you get are theseincredible numbers, you don’t re-ally know individual stories.”

“I’m not aware that we’re doinga lot at KU to inorm students o the imminent problem,” Moossaid. “Paul Lim should be laud-ed.”

Te first film will be shown thisuesday at 7 p.m. at the Law-rence Art Center. Te ollowingfilms will be shown at the sametime Sept. 22and 29.

“I she doesn’t have her ac-tor, she’s very prone to jointbleeding,” she said. “It’s hor-ribly painul to watch her; it’sexcruciating.”

Growing up, Elizabeth saidshe never elt as though shewas treated any differently, al-

though there were times whereshe couldn’t participate withher classmates because o herhemophilia. Tere wasn’t anyroom or athleticism becauseeven a small injury could poseserious threats to her health.

“In PE class, I couldn’t doeverything because we’re notsupposed to do anything thatis contact sports. Tere weretimes I would have sit out and Iwas fine with it,” VanSant said.“I’m not very athletic.”

Her mother said Elizabethhas always ound creative out-

lets to deal with her hemophil-ia, and that in itsel has beenhelpul to her condition.

“Having a girl with hemo-philia has been a blessing be-cause she never wanted to doanything like wrestling,” Beckysaid.

One o the biggest miscon-ceptions about hemophilia,Becky said, is that only malescan get the disorder. Te mis-understanding comes rom theact that hemophilia is ofengenetically transerred sinceit appears on the X chromo-some. Because o this, women

can be carriers o the gene andundergo mild symptoms o he-mophilia.

Elizabeth, however, has se- vere hemophilia, caused bya gene mutation. Because oits rarity in women, advocacyor emale recognition has in-creased in recent years among

people with the blood disor-der.

She has been attending acamp or kids with hemophiliasince she was young. For thelast two years, she’s been at-tending an all-girls camp. Nextsummer, she will return as acounselor.

“Te kids at camp kind o get

your struggles and at the sametime, everyone knows you’re

 just a regular kid,” VanSantsaid. “We had that one thingand or some people it mightbe everything, but or us it was

 just an add-on; it was just apart o us.”

Every year, the VanSant ami-ly attends the Coalition or He-mophilia B in New York City.In the past, both Elizabeth andBecky VanSant and her moth-er have given talks at the coali-tion on dealing with bleedingdisorders.

Elizabeth’s involvement was

one o the reasons she recent-ly received the Soozie Court-er Hemophilia Scholarship.Te scholarship, according tothe Hemophilia Federation oAmerica’s website, is given to“deserving students living withhemophilia to achieve theireducational goals.” VanSantwas one o 10 recipients.

“It’s great first o all to berecognized in the hemophiliacommunity and then it was

 just really exciting to find outthat I had won the scholar-ship,” VanSant said.

Although there have beenobstacles in dealing with herhemophilia, Elizabeth didn’tlet the disorder stop her romdoing the things she wanted to.

“She likes to dance, so she didballet, and she took piano les-sons,” Becky said. “She just wasnot one o those kids who everwanted to quit.”

With sports out o the ques-tion, VanSant turned her at-tention toward music.

“I think part o [having he-mophilia] has really led mein the direction o music, andthat’s something that doesn’treally take anything physical,”she said.

She would ofen find comort

in music when her hemophiliatreatments became challeng-ing.

“It was usually during myinusion times where I wouldtry maybe three times and stillcouldn’t get it. I would be re-ally rustrated with that,” Van-Sant said. “I would take time

to sit and play the piano just tocalm mysel down.”

As she got older, VanSant saidshe realized she could use hermusical inclinations not just asa orm o personal therapy, butas a career. Currently, she is inher second year o study as amusic therapist.

“I love music. I love helping

people and the way that musichas helped me,” VanSant said.“I wanted to be able to showother people that music canhelp them as well.”

Although right now she o-cuses on hospice care, she saidwhat draws her to music ther-apy is the possibility that she

could someday help kids likeher who are dealing with he-mophilia.

“When I would go in or my yearly checkups I’ve seen themusic therapy there in thehospital,” VanSant said. “I defi-nitely think it would be cool togive back to my community like that.”

As or her daughter’s ownpersonal struggle with hemo-philia, Becky said Elizabethlearned to overcome obstaclesand grown or the better.

“It doesn’t define who she is,”Becky said. “It’s part o her. It’smade her strong.”

During Rosh Hashanah, am-ilies generally gather together,but or University studentswho are ar rom home, theholiday can be difficult.

Rabbi Zalman iechtel, di-rector o the Chabad House,a center or Jewish lie at KU,said gathering as a amily isan integral part o Rosh Ha-shanah, the Jewish New Year.Families ofen eat meals to-gether beore evening servicesor holidays, but or Universitystudents, observing Rosh Ha-shanah ar rom home meansthey are unable to be aroundtheir amilies sitting around atable and celebrating.

“All the holidays in Judaismrevolve around the home,” hesaid. “Te services and the

temple are important, butthe celebrations at home aremore important. For a lot ostudents, it is difficult being

so ar away rom home at atime when everybody is sittingaround a table and celebrat-ing.”

o bridge the gap or thosestudents, iechtel said the Uni-

 versity Jewish community em-phasizes providing a “home-like experience”.

Rosh Hashana begins Sept.13 and kicks off Te High HolyDays. Te ollowing 10 days,known as Te Days o Awe,are meant to be days o re-flection leading up to the Dayo Atonement, Yom Kippur,which begins Sept. 22. iech-tel said the ten days o deep re-flection and prayer are meantto heal broken relationships.

Ceremonies such as ashlich,a casting away o one’s sin neara body o water and tradition-al candle lighting and prayerceremonies are an integralpart o the holiday. Anotherocal point o the holiday is theblowing o the Shoar horn,made rom the horn o a ram,and symbolizes a call or re-

pentance.University students joined in

services Sunday night usher-ing in the beginning o RoshHashanah. iechtel said RoshHashanah symbolizes God’sdecision on a person’s ate orthe upcoming year. Accord-ing to the University Chabad

House website, the holiday,which marks the beginning othe 5,776th year on the Jewishcalendar, includes an emphasison redefining both spiritualand secular relationships.

“Rosh Hashanah representsnew beginnings, which is ap-propriate with the start o anew school year,” he said. “Italso is considered as a day o

 judgment. It carries a tremen-dous amount o meaning andsymbolism. Tat, in turn, im-pacts the broader KU commu-nity.”

Te holiday continuesthrough uesday, and theChabad House will holdmorning and evening services,Shoar Blowings, meals and

other ceremonies. iechtelsaid the Chabad House’s goalis to provide accessible, reemeals and engaging services.

“We want students to be ableto close their eyes and eel likethe oods and the smells andthe atmosphere is so similar towhat they would be experienc-

ing at home,” he said.Michael Portman, a senior

rom Garland, x, said hisamily is not as religious andwould not “go out o their way”to celebrate the holiday, and itwas nice to be able to enjoy theholiday as a community o col-lege students.

“We get to enjoy some applesand honey together, which isour way o saying ‘to a sweetNew Year,’ and or us to be ableto attend services surroundedby students who are celebrat-ing the same thing is a greateeling,” Portman said.

Portman, who will be in- volved with setting up theevents at the Chabad Houseand attending the services,

said the Chabad House makesan effort to ensure studentseel welcome during the timeo celebration.

“Tey know everyone is acollege student and that not ev-eryone is going to be religious,but they make sure everyoneeels welcome,” he said. “It eels

like a second home. Everyoneis like amily here, and that isthe best eeling about it."

iechtel emphasized that al-though the holiday marks thebeginning o the Jewish NewYear, the messages associatedwith the various ceremoniesand services is something allstudents can relate to.

“Even though Rosh Hasha-nah is a Jewish New Year, themessage is really universal,” hesaid. “Te message is that ev-erybody has a U-turn. Everyindividual has the ability toturn things around and startresh. It is never too late, andno one is ever stuck orever.Tat is the theme o the JewishNew Year.”

As part o Sexual AssaultAwareness Week, 8,000 redflags will be planted in thelawn in ront o Watson allweek.

Chancellor BernadetteGray-Little will plant the first

red flag in the Watson lawn,and representatives rom the

Office o Institutional Oppor-tunity and Access, StudentAffairs and other campus part-ners will plant the rest, saidMichael McRill, interim mea-sures coordinator at IOA. Teflags will be there rom 12 p.m.Monday through the week.

Te Red Flag Campaign isa national campaign againstdomestic and interpersonal

 violence. Red flags are plantedaround campus and posters

are hung up with examples ored-flag relationship situationsthat can lead to violence.

“Te idea o this campaign isthat you see the flags and thenyou have this sort o second-ary recognition when you readwhat they’re or, which has astrong effect in terms o learn-ing the message,” McRill said.

Te campaign encourages

bystander intervention in con- junction with the SpeaKUp

campaign, the University’s ex-isting bystander interventionprogram.

“It’s encouraging [students]to see red flags and then saysomething about it,” McRillsaid. “I think it fits in well withthe current campaigns this o-fice and other offices are doing.In some ways it’s just a differ-ent approach to the same im-

portant cultural message.”

KU clarifies: Employees must report discrimination

SELF-DEFENSE WORKSHOP FOR

SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS

WEEK

MCKENNA HARFORD@McKennaHarford

As part o Sexual Assault AwarenessWeek, the Emily aylor Center orWomen and Gender Equity will host asel-deense workshop. Martial artistswill teach physical and psychologicalsel-deense strategies, according to thecenter’s website.

By clariying the existingpolicy, the Office o Institu-tional Opportunity and Ac-cess has made it more clearto University employees thatthey are required to report any

discrimination that a studentexperiences and inorms themabout.

IOA changed the discrimi-nation policy at the beginningo this semester to clariy thatall University employees aremandatory reporters o sexualharassment. Te change cameafer the Sexual Assault askForce, created by the chan-cellor last all, recommended

that the University clariy thepolicy.

wo other recommendationsrom the task orce includehaving the reporter call a vic-tim advocate and educatingemployees on their responsi-bilities as a mandatory report-

er.itle IX and University policy

currently require all employeesto report incidents o sexualharassment, including sexu-al violence, to the executivedirector o IOA, which at theUniversity is Jane McQueeny.However, students can decide

not to speak with IOA, mean-ing the investigation can es-sentially end with the inorma-tion in the employee reports.

Alesha Doan, ormer co-chair o the task orce, saidproessors play a vital role asmandatory reporters becausethey can direct students toresources that the Universitymakes available.

"[Proessors] play severalroles in terms o awareness

and getting inormation out,”Doan said

Angela Murphy, another or-mer co-chair o the task orceand a graduate student in theEnglish department, said pro-essors are the “rontline” orgetting inormation to stu-dents and providing support

to survivors.Murphy said she puts inor-

mation in her syllabus aboutitle IX and provides resourc-es or survivors. She makessure her students know she isa mandatory reporter.

“Students need to know thereare people in the Universitywho they can go to i some-thing bad happens and justknow you don’t have to handleit on your own,” Murphy said.

Doan said the task orce’sreport includes an exampleo language that proessorscan use in their syllabuses. Itincludes the itle IX law thatbans gender discrimination,including sexual violence, andcampus and community re-sources.

“Create [a sae] climate at thebeginning,” Doan said. “Youcan also put the inormationon blackboard or verbally sayit.”

Beyond a syllabus, Murphysaid that not knowing how toreact when a student confidesmakes it difficult or proessorsto be mandatory reporters.

“When you don’t have anytraining, you’re scared thatyou’ll make it worse,” Murphy

said.Murphy also said that the

task orce's recommendationto implement a protocol orthose situations would helpthat.

Kathy Rose-Mockry, direc-tor o the Emily aylor Center,said the center offers training

so employees can eel comort-able as a mandatory reporterand know what to do when astudent approaches them.

“It is in the best interest o thestudent,” Rose-Mockry said.“It’s positive to report the in-cident because it’s opening upinormation that they mightnot have known about.”

““Students need to know

there are people in the

University who they can

go to if something bad

happens and just know

you don’t have to handle

it on your own.”

I have no problem admittingto anyone who asks that I havean irrational hate or gettingshots. I build it up in my heador so long that the ear and

horrible pain I’m anticipatingend up being about 10 timesworse than the actual tinyprick.

Unortunately, these tinypricks that many ear so muchare actually some o the bestthings or us. Getting a flushot is a lot more importantthan people ofen give itcredit or. Tirty seconds odiscomort can prevent a weeko being bedridden, endingup with urther complicationsor passing the virus on tosomeone with a weaker

immune system.As flu season approaches,it's important to understandthe acts and misconceptionsaround it.

Why is the flu shot

different every year?

Last year, the vaccine hadsmall amounts o certainstrains that were believed tobe common influenza virusesduring that particular fluseason.

However, a year later, the

 virus has been able to mutateand change so that it is harderor the immune system tobeat. For this reason, eachyear more than 100 diseasecontrol centers rom morethan 100 different countrieshave a conerence everyFebruary to determine which

 viruses will cause the largestthreat or that year. Aferthey come to a decision, theydevelop a new vaccine orthat upcoming flu season andbegin to distribute it.

When is flu season?

Te flu season is typicallyconsidered to be Octoberthrough May. Te peak othe season usually occurssometime between Decemberand February. It can bedifficult to predict exactly

when it will happen inyour community, so youshould get immunized assoon as possible. With mostthings, there are severalmisunderstandings about theflu shot and how it actuallyworks.

Misconception #1: If

my roommate has the

flu, I can get the flu shot

and be immediately

protected.

While the flu shot is great, it

certainly isn’t perect. Part othat is the nature o vaccines— they use your immunesystem to really be effective.When you get a flu shot, itcan take up to two weeks oryou to become ully protectedagainst the types o influenzain the shot. I someone youlive with or spend a lot o timewith has the flu, a flu shotwon’t give you any additionalprotection unless you get itweeks in advance.

Misconception #2: The

flu shot protects against

the stomach flu.

What we commonly reerto as the stomach flu is notactually the flu at all. Teinfluenza virus only affects therespiratory system, where thestomach flu is actually called

gastroenteritis. While it’s still a virus, it is completely differentrom influenza, and there isnot a vaccine or it.

Misconception #3: I can

get the flu from the flu

shot.

Te flu shot is a kind o vaccine that is inactivated.Tere are two different kindso vaccines — live attenuatedand inactivated. Inactivated

 vaccines cannot inect you— they are essentially dead.

However, these k inds o vaccines still work becauseyour body can still recognizethe virus and developprotection to that kind o

 virus.Te flu shot will notcause you to get the flu in anyway.

I've heard that it's not

that effective. Why do I

need it?

While the flu virus cansometimes outsmart us andresult in a strain that wedidn’t predict, the flu shotis still considered your bestprotection against getting theflu.

It’s also important to get theshot i you live around peoplewho might be too young toget immunized, or are elderly.Tese two age groups have

weaker immune systems, andwhile you might get over the

 virus easily, it’s a lot moredangerous or them. Tisconcept is reerred to as herdimmunity — i the majority opeople are immunized, we canprotect the weaker memberso our “herd."

It’s also a good idea to getimmunized i you live in closecontact with other people,or example dorms andapartments.

Where to get a flu shot:

For students on campus, theeasiest place to get a flu shotis Watkins. However, duringOctober, pharmacy studentsand nurses rom Watkins willbe in more convenient placesaround campus providingimmunizations.

It’s important to get your flushot now instead o Decemberor February so your immunesystem has time to get ullyprotected beore the peak othe season. You can also get aflu shot at any pharmacy, andi you are at the doctor’s office,you can ask as well.

Still think vaccines aren’t

safe?

With hardly a doubt aboutit in the scientific community,climate change is happening.Te U.S. government isramping up efforts to combatboth the causes and effects oclimate change. Many say it'sgoing about it too slowly, andothers think it has done toomuch too quickly.

But what i it's doing it all

wrong in the first place?For the most part, the way

that government agenciesare approaching the issues ogreenhouse gas emissions andits knockoff effects makes a12-year-old’s organizationalskills look like MarthaStewart’s.

ake or example thegovernment o Caliornia’sresponse to its most recentdrought, which has been madeworse by climate change: It’sa patchwork o regulationsputting limits on how muchwater gol courses can use,requiring the use o certaintypes o landscaping, banningthe watering o grass on streetmedians and more.

What makes this insane ishow practically any economist(and any student who hastaken an introductoryeconomics course at thisUniversity, or that matter)could have told you that thebest way to combat a shortageo something is simple:increase the price o it. Ratherthan pass dozens o new

regulations, all Caliornia hasto do to decrease water usageis raise the price o water.

Te ederal governmentcan learn rom this in itsefforts to combat carbonemissions. Currently, the U.S.government’s plans to combatclimate change are a hodge-podge o ideas: Tere aresubsidies or certain types oenergy, rebates that come andgo or electric cars, differentgoals or limits on carbon

emissions depending on thestate and then some.

Te problem with thiscommand-and-controlapproach is that suchregulations hardly distinguishbetween small and largebusinesses. Tis meansthat a local rubber-makingplant may be orced to cutemissions at the same rate asan enormous coal-burningpower plant, even i cuttingpollution is more affordableor the power plant.

At the same time, thesesubsidies cause innovators

and businesses to invest intechnologies that alreadyexist, like wind and solar, anddisincentivizes them rompursuing newer technologies.What i a business has a greatidea or a new clean energysource, but decides againstit because the governmentencourages them to dumpmoney in an existingtechnology?

As hinted by Caliornia’sexample, the ederalgovernment already has a

better answer beore it orreducing carbon emissions:Put a price on carbon.

I such a price existed,businesses could more easilyand effectively respond.Companies that could moreeasily reduce emissions, likea giant chemical plant, wouldreduce carbon output at agreater rate than those whowould ace difficulty, like aamily-owned manuacturer.

At the same time,people would be naturallyincentivized away romcarbon-polluting activities.Rather than being encouragedto use an existing activity thatcould warp results, individualswould be discouraged rom

polluting activities simply bythe prices they ace. What’smore, the ederal governmentwould gain additional revenuethat it could use to respond toclimate-related disasters or cuttaxes in other areas.

O course, there is no suchthing as a ree lunch; theprices o many things weconsume, such as gasoline andood that has been shippedlong distances, could verywell increase under a carbontax. However, such a planwould remove the behavior-banning burden o hundredso regulations, lower costswe already pay but may notrealize caused by existing lawsand lower carbon emissions

by millions o tons.Some may say there is no

price too high or preservingour planet’s present anduture. However, there aregood ways o protecting ourearth and there are bad ways.Te mess o current andproposed laws or combatingclimate change is absurd,especially when such a simplesolution such as a price oncarbon exists.

In the past year, Collin urn-er has stayed up late, become a

sel-described poor college stu-dent and made a little money.But it wasn’t because he wasthrowing parties and charginga nickel to get in. urner waswriting his debut novel, “OneWorld Close.”

urner, a 22-year-old romWichita, put his first novel outto the masses last month. Eagerto discuss his work, urner,who is taking a semester off or financial reasons, is brutallyhonest and writes with his per-sonal sense o humor.

“I tend to be very dry, verysnarky. I don’t stay serious

too ofen,” urner said. “I’vealready had people say I havea very brazen, breezy writingstyle. People take themselvestoo seriously. I think a lot opeople’s interactions would go

a lot smoother i we weren’taraid to swear more in publicand call people what they are.And I mean, there’s a fine linebetween that and being an as-shole.”

Te novel, published througha subsidiary o Amazon, ol-lows the story o newly anoint-ed President Malcolm Cobul.A charismatic man, Cobulcommits mass murder and hasset his sights on taking over theworld beore anyone catches onto what he’s doing.

As a neurolinguistics major,

urner was interested in the

morality o humans and whatdrives people to make the de-cisions they do. His questionsabout these topics seep inthrough the book’s characters.

“Everyone’s first book is eitherthemselves as Jesus or Satan,and I don’t think I get too araway rom that,” urner said.

“Tere are a lot o elements ome in the main characters. Alot o elements o my personal-ity are in Malcom, but a lot omy questions about moralityare in Callie.

“I don’t think any o the char-acters are me, and by no meansis the book me exposé-ing or214 pages about what I think isright,” he said. “But obviouslyeveryone writes their personalexperiences.”

Te thought process or thebook began our years ago,but the writing o “One WorldClose” began a little less than a

year ago. It was originally justa “un story about a guy tak-ing over the world,” but urnerwanted to make the book moremeaningul.

“I can joke all I want aboutwanting writing or the money,but I don’t want to put some-thing on the shel I can’t beproud o,” urner said. “Tereis plenty o place or fictionthat is mindless, doesn’t takeany investment. I don’t think Ican contribute anything to thatfield, so I might as well make itdeep and insightul, even i it’snot.”

urner’s attempt at sparkinga conversation about moralityisn’t meant to be a serious end-all-be-all stopping point orthe morality o the world. Hedoesn’t want to provide answersbut, rather, questions.

“I don’t want to put answersin people’s head because I don’t

have them,” urner said. “Anyanswers I give are going to bepseudo-philosophical crap, butI think I can ask the questionsin a unique and interestingway.”

Te balance o classwork andwriting a book didn’t presentan overwhelming challenge tourner, he said. He didn’t haveset writing times but start-ed typing when he elt like heshould.

“Writing doesn’t take thatmuch out o lie. I kind o wrotewhen I elt like I should write,”urner said. “Tere would benights when I would sit downentirely too late and look up

at 4 a.m. and realize I wrote10,000 words.”

In the process o writing thenovel, urner started bounc-ing ideas off o his riend LibbyO’Neil.

“I was intrigued by his de-scription o the novel and wherehe wanted it to go,” O’Neil said.

“During his writing process, wediscussed the plot and charac-ters o the books several times.”

urner hopes to keep writ-ing and has a ew things in theworks while he takes this se-mester off. But i things beginto catch on, graduation couldbe on the back burner or good.

“I this started selling like hotcakes, I probably wouldn’t goback to school,” urner said. “Ieel like I sucked all the useulinormation out o my majorthat I wanted.”

He said he isn’t overly ambi-tious with where his career is

headed, but he knows that writ-ing books is what he wants hislie’s work to be.

“I don’t need to be the nextom Clancy,” he said. “I don’tneed to be worth $300 million,but I would like to support my-sel with my writing going or-ward.

“I love writing. I think I’mgenuinely good at it,” he said.

Kansas may seem like a quietplace and when most peoplethink o it, “Wizard o Oz” isofen their point o reerence.

However, or Lawrence nativeand 2012 Juniper Prize winner,Andrew Milward, Kansas haspolitical intrigue, interesting

historical characters and aspring o inspiration, whichled to his most recent work, “IWas A Revolutionary: Stories.”

Te book is a collection oshort stories that was releasedthis August that takes on these

 various historical topics pecu-liar to Kansas and gives themnew lie or today’s readers. “IWas A Revolutionary: Stories”pairs Kansas history with a fic-tional narrative, blending thetwo to create moving prose othe human experience.

Milward decided to write

about topics particular to Kan-sas because he always elt anaffinity or his home state. Hemoved rom Lexington, Ky. toLawrence with his mother andbrother afer his dad lef theamily when he was aroundthree-years-old. During theyears he spent here, his amilyhad to remake itsel.

“Lawrence definitely eelslike home to me and I ofendescribe it that way,” Milwardsaid. “It’s where [my amily]had to learn to be a new kindo amily — a trio instead o aquartet — that emerged rom

the trauma un-destroyed.Tankully we did and mychildhood in Lawrence was in-credibly happy.”

Tough he only spent 12years o his childhood inLawrence beore moving toConnecticut, his hometowninspired his love o basketballand eventual love o history.Troughout high school, hewas mostly interested in bas-ketball and went to college

at the University o WesternConnecticut to be a part otheir team. During his timethere, however, he discoveredhis passion or writing.

“In college I ended up in asenior-only English course onthe fiction o the Vietnam Warby mistake,” Milward said. “Iwas amazed that a voice nottoo dissimilar rom my own

could write so deeply.”Afer attending the Univer-

sity o Western Connecticutor a couple o years, Milwardtranserred to the Universityo Arizona to obtain his un-dergraduate degree. He movedback to Lawrence to take ayear off beore entering grad-uate school. During that time,he worked a job secured by aamily connection at a doctor’soffice.

“I’ve always loved Lawrenceso it was great to move back, i

 just or a year,” he said.Milward first started in-

 vestigating Kansas history atthe Iowa Writer’s workshopduring his graduate career. Hewas looking or inspiration orshort story pieces and ound

 various events that shaped thestate’s overall character.

“I was shocked by all thatI ound out and didn’t knowabout Kansas,” Milward said.“I knew almost nothing aboutKansas history and i it wasthat way or me having grownup there then I was certainmost olks outside Kansasknew even less.”

From the early years beoreKansas became the 34th stateto enter the Union on theeve o civil war, to the ethicalcontroversies that surroundcertain organizations such asPlanned Parenthood and theWestboro Baptist Church to-day, the state has witnessed itsair share o strie. Quantrill’sRaid, a massacre committedright here in Lawrence bypro-Conederate actions inthe 1860s, particularly piqued

the author’s interest.Milward decided he wanted

to write a short story aboutthis historical moment, whichbecame the first essay to starthis collection entitled, “TeBurning o Lawrence.” Tat es-say was the springboard or hisuture work.

“Te act that the stories arebased in our shared Kansas

history is ascinating,” Univer-sity Event Coordinator, LisaEitner, said. “Tat Andrew hasreceived much acclaim andmany awards or his writingand is also a respected teachero writers tells me that he is anideal speaker to appear at KU.

When Milward first sat downto officially write “I Was ARevolutionary: Stories” backin 2006, he made a consciousdecision to stick to the shortstory orm.

“I wanted to do somethingcontradictory: having storiesthat stood alone but somehowelt epic,” he said.

Milward had uncovered nar-ratives that ranged rom or-mation o the Populist Partyin the 1890s to radical youthgroups in the 1960s; he decid-ed to write these stories intofictional prose.

‘“One o the challenges othe book was wondering howto engage [Kansas] history,”Milward said. “In some storieslike ‘O Death,’ I recreated thehistory through fiction anddropped the reader into themoment. In other stories, I

mediated the history throughanother character.”In many other narratives in

Milward’s collection, such as“Te Americanist” and “A De-ense o History,” he employsthe use o a storyteller to in-

 vestigate the events o a par-ticular historical moment. Techaracters Milward creates inthese stories are orced to dealwith drama in their own livesoutside o the past narrativeramed within.

“I had to make the character’sstoryline as interesting as thehistory presented. I couldn’tmake these character’s card-board cut-outs,” Milward said.

Milward doesn’t shy awayrom politics in his stories ei-

ther. Te book has a air shareo subtle political commentary,open to interpretation, he said.

“When writing politically,the writing risks coming off as propaganda or didactic, allthe arrows point in one direc-tion. [But] in good fiction, [it]points in multiple directionswith a lot o gray area,” Mil-ward said.

Even though the stories inthe collection could be read in

any order the reader chooses,the book was very careullystructured rom beginning toend.

“Te reader who reads thbook all the way through wilsee how the stories talk to each

other,” Milward said. “I hopthose who read the book coulsee this conversation and dratheir own conclusions as to thmessage.”

Ultimately, the author want-ed to honor the state that in-spired him to do so much.

“In a way the book is a lov letter to Kansas and all that isinspiring and troubling in itshistory,” he said.

Each month, the dimly litbasement o Eighth Street ap-room is home to the aproomPoetry Series.Sunday’s rendition o the

event had three eatured poets:Satarah Wheeler, Amish rive-di and Hadara Bar-Nadav.Afer a brie open mic, eacheatured poet read several po-ems beore an intimate crowdo around 25 people. Wheelerwas the first to take the mic.

Wheeler who is rom Bran

son, Mo., is a master’s candi-date at the University. She be-gan writing poetry as a kid andwas encouraged by her motherto continue writing. Te inspi-ration or her poetry comesrom what she’s currently in-terested in.“My inspiration fluctuates

with anything I’m excitedabout at the moment,” Wheel-er said.A ew o the poems Wheeler

read comes rom a collectiono poems about a world en-tirely made rom telescopes,

which was inspired by a docu

mentary she watched with herfiancé.Shortly afer Wheeler finished

her reading, rivedi began hisperormance. rivedi is romStone Mountain, Ga., and hiswork has appeared in manypublications, including NewAmerican Writing. rivediwrites poetry simply because itcomes easy to him.“I write because I don’t have

to work very hard at it,” saidrivedi. “I don’t mean to soundarrogant but it’s how I eel.”Te poems rivedi read in-

cluded topics like Mary odd

Lincoln. Tey were inspiredby his current residence o Il-linois, which is the location othe Lincolns’ home.One o rivedi’s specialties is

taking the mundane and mak-ing it interesting. For example,his Mary odd Lincoln poemwas a comedic take on her ex-perience in the boudoir.Bar-Nadav took the stage to

close the night. Along withbeing a poet, Bar-Nadav is anassociate proessor o Englishat UMKC. She said she viewspoetry as a meditative experi-

ence

“Poetry is a quiet space to o-cus on the loud,” Bar-Nadavsaid. “It’s kind o like medita-tion.”Bar-Nadav became attracted

to poetry naturally and beganwriting when she was six yearsold. She ofen finds inspirationor her poetry through experi-encing everyday lie.“I find inspiration rom any-

thing coming rom the worldaround me,” Bar-Nadev said.She also finds inspiration

rom the act that she’s asleep-deprived new mother.

“Tere’s no doubt being a new mom and being in the househas made my work come alivein ways that it hadn’t beore,”Bar-Nadev said.Eighth Street aproom is lo-

“Tere was a really roughpatch last season where I hadtwo to three weeks o reallybad practices,” he said. “It wastough, and I had to step out omysel and examine my heartand re-evaluate why I’m do-ing this. I ended up comingaround the next week.”

Keeping a positive attitudeis a big part o the process orMichael, especially with the2016 Rio Olympics in mind.Olympic rials start in Junein Omaha, Neb. Te top twoathletes in any event automat-ically make the team. Makingthese Olympics is one o Mi-chael’s biggest goals.

Michael’s long-term goals in-clude breaking as many worldrecords as possible, going to

okyo 2020 and the WorldChampionships in 2017 and

2019.Although the Olympics is

a dream, Michael says he re-minds himsel that it’s not ev-erything.

“Obviously going to theOlympics is a goal but onceI’m there, i I just live in thatmoment, what do I have to liveor afer?” he said.

For Michael and his amily,lie isn’t completely normal —a normal teenager isn’t train-ing or the Olympics every day.Still, they’re grateul or every-thing.

“We believe that as long as wehave certain things in place, wehave saeguards,” ina said.

As Michael gets closer toreaching one o his goals inlie, he reminds himsel osomething a riend said onceabout hardships — a quotewhich pushes him to workharder every day.

“I today is Good Friday,Easter Sunday is somewherearound the corner,” he said.

MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN

Sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon passes the ball

during the third set against UMKC. The Jayhawks beat the

Kangaroos in three sets on Saturday evening.

Coach Ray Bechard may becoaching a team that will passup his 2000 Jayhawks, whobegan the season with ninestraight wins, and his 2001team, which streaked or 10.

Te Jayhawks have beenplaying more difficult teams,such as Marquette, Arkansasand Duke, yet still remain un-scathed in the process.

“Te schedule we took onwith [the 2015 Jayhawks]would probably be a little bit

more rigorous than the 2000and 2001 teams,” Bechard saidafer the third match o theweekend.

Tis weekend at Pistol Pete’sShowdown the Jayhawks dom-inated their third tournament,bringing their season-startingwin streak to 9-0.

Te Jayhawks’ first opponento the showdown was North-ern Colorado, who was theonly team during the tourna-

ment to make it to the ourthset (25-20, 25-23, 16-25, 25-20) against Kansas.

Senior outside hitter ia-na Dockery posted 18 killsduring the our sets, onlythree away rom tying her ca-reer high. Sophomore outside

hitter Madison Rigdon added12 kills along with 15 digs toreceive her first career dou-ble-double. Sophomore setterAinise Havili posted 43 assistsand 10 digs to obtain her 17thcareer double-double.

Rigdon was second in kills inthe first match, but, in the sec-

ond match o the tournament,she led the Jayhawks with 13kills. Kansas’ opponent ormatch two was Wyoming, whowas quickly deeated in three

Montell Cozart

10 o Cozart’s 13 pass completions came in the second quarter, and that was just the story o Cozart’s day: he was inconsistent and unreliable. He struggled onthrows outside o the pocket, which is usually a strength o his. He was inept onthrows down-field and generally inaccurate. Memphis just had the key to shuttingdown Cozart, which really isn’t too difficult to figure out: take away the short pass.Without the quick passes, which allow the Jayhawks get into their rhythm and upto tempo, Cozart had little to contribute to the game. But at the end o the day, at

least he didn’t turn it over.

Ke’aun Kinner

Oh boy, this game would have been rough or the Jayhawks without Kin-ner. He was the only spark on offense. I might dare to say he was the onlyreason the offense moved at all, though De’Andre Mann didn’t have a badgame himsel. As Cozart pointed out afer the game, teams absolutely mustkeep six or seven bodies in the box i they want to stop him. Most impres-sive was Kinner’s touchdown, where he showed not only his speed andagility, but also his power and ability to drop his shoulder and keep his legsmoving. He’s quite the player, and could be Beaty’s best get yet.

Offensive line

Cozart and Beaty downplayed the offensive line play, but I thought it was abso-lute garbage. Yes, garbage. Tat’s the reason Cozart’s grade stayed in the C-range:because he gets the benefit o the doubt. Te team tried mixing up the right side

o the line a bit afer Memphis’ blitz was working, but nothing seemed to fix theconstant pressure Cozart seemed to be under. Cozart was sacked twice, and theJayhawks gave up seven (SEVEN) tackles or loss or 34 yards.

Defensive line

We’re starting rom the ground on the deensive end. Te ront our, which isarguably the strongest group on this team, was non-existent. Ben Goodman got abit o pressure in the second hal, but really this group disappeared in the secondhal. Tey lef gaps and running lanes. Deensive coordinator Clint Bowen has tosqueeze more out o this talented group.

Linebackers

Marcquis Roberts tabbed eight solo tackles and nine total tackles in this game— both career highs. Roberts isn’t nearly as rangy as Ben Heeney, but he start-ed to look the part o a viable Heeney replacement in this game. Joe Dineendid a noticeably nice job in getting to runs around the tackles.

Defensive backs

While Roberts led the linebackers, saety Fish Smithson led this positiongroup. Smithson racked up 12 tackles (nine solo) and orced a umble. Tat’sa darn good game, and he didn’t do bad in coverage when he was orced intoit, as he notched the only pass breakup o the whole game. Tat said, he wasn’tthe only DB in the game. Te corners were absolutely abysmal, which could beseen via Paxton Lynch’s massive line. Tat said, I’ll cut the corners some slack:the deensive line got no pressure, and they also orced a umble.

Defense

I summed it up with that last sentence: it’s multiple sections o this deensethat are struggling right now. Te deensive line can’t get pressure, which putsthe deensive backs on their heels. Tat said, this team won the turnover battle

3-0 while the starters were in. Tat’s pretty awesome. So, today, they get a C-.

Coaching

Groan. I don’t understand playing Deondre Ford over Ryan Willis. I don’tthink the talent on deense is as bad as the scoreline is indicating. I don’t thinkKe’aun Kinner got the ball enough in the game — he had nine carries in thefirst quarter, then seven through the rest o the game. Te coaches called thesecond hal too conservatively as ar as ourth downs go — looking at theourth quarter mostly. All around, there was a lot I didn’t like rom the coacheshere, but most importantly it was not giving the ball to their clear-cut bestplayer (Kinner) enough.

Memphis won the first evermatchup between the twoteams in ootball. ... Wide re-ceiver Joshua Stanord is nolonger a starting wide receiv-er. He’s a co-backup behindBobby Hartzog, Jr. … Juniortranser Deondre Ford camein over reshman Ryan Wil-lis afer the game got out ohand. Tat decision camedown to offensive coordina-tor Rob Likens, but neitherFord or Willis has won the

back-up job still. … Beaty putsome blame on Cozart or thefirst time. “He didn’t have hisbest game tonight… he wasn’tcompletely on tonight,” Beatysaid. He also added that the

 junior isn’t entrenched in thestarting spot, and there willalways be competition, butalso said he trusts Cozart astheir starter. … Attendancerose o 7,000 rom Week 1 toWeek 2. Tat came with thehelp o band students rom

across the state, as well amilyday. … Larry Hughes startedand played more o the gameat right tackle on Saturday asone o six players to step onthe field as a Jayhawk or thefirst time. Beaty said he wonthe spot this week throughpractice. … Ryan Schadlerwas the special teams captainor Week 2 afer last week’skick return.

Kansas dropped to 0-2 onthe season. Te loss was Kan-sas’ 600th. … Ke’aun Kinnerbecame the first Kansas run-ning back to rush or 100yards in back-to-back gamessince 2013, when James Simsdid it toward the end o theyear. … Fish Smithson’s 12tackles were a career high.

As were Marquis Roberts’nine tackles. … Kansas’ threerecovered umbles in thegame were the most or theJayhawks since 2007 at Okla-homa State. … Memphis hadlost 19 straight games to pow-er five conerence teams be-ore the win over Kansas. …Wyman’s 51-yard field goal in

the waning minutes was hislongest make since his 201352-yard field goal vs Louisi-ana ech. … Cozart’s rushingtouchdown in the third quar-ter was his first since 2013against exas.

When 16-year-old MichaelAndrew wakes up on a typical

weekday, it’s not in preparationor going to school.Instead, Andrew wakes up

and walks to the pool. He pass-es by quotes and pictures onthe wall. One o them: “Swim-ming is not what I do. It’s whatI am.”

Andrew stands over six eettall. He steps up on the divingblock and gets into position.Focused and ready, he curveshis body, keeps his head downand places his eet in the per-ect position. As he dives, hisbody cuts through the waterin a motion that can only be

described as effortless — whathis grandma calls “poetry inmotion.”

Andrew may look like atypical teen, but while tryingto graduate high school, he’sbreaking national records inswimming, setting him apartrom the rest o his peers. Notonly that, he’s also training orone o his biggest goals in lie:swimming in the 2016 RioOlympics.

At 14, when most studentshis age are tackling their firstyear o high school, Andrewturned pro and broke MichaelPhelps’s record at that age inthe 200-meter individual med-ley by two and a hal seconds.

“It’s pretty cool to thinkabout, but I try not to let it getto my head,” he said.

Andrew started swimmingwhen he was seven in Aber-deen, S.D., where he quicklyadvanced in the swim pro-gram. Some might say swim-ming was in his blood; his dadswam when he lived in SouthArica.

A year afer moving to SouthDakota, Andrew and his am-

ily lef because o issues withthe swim team. Since then, hehas been training on his own.

“Te whole swim team inSouth Dakota was like a am-ily, and they wouldn’t listen toanything we had to share, so itwas easier to do something onour own,” said Peter Andrew,Michael’s dad.

Peter, who is also Michael’sswim coach, explained thattheir plan afer South Dakotawas to move to Australia, butthey couldn’t because o issuessurrounding their green cards.

While Lawrence was never apart o the plan, Peter and inaAndrew — Michael’s mom andmanager — said they ell inlove with the town afer visit-ing.

At the time, Michael was do-ing a swimming tour aroundthe country. Te amilystopped in Lawrence to renta place so he could swim, butonce the Andrews got here,they realized it was a placewhere they could settle down.

Tough they have been inLawrence or a ew years, Mi-chael has already lef his mark.He broke his first national re-cord in the pool at LawrenceFree State High School — the10-and-under 50-yard ree-style national age group re-cord.

Andrew swims at the highschool pool but he doesn’tattend public school. He hasbeen homeschooled since the6th grade. However, he attend-ed Free State his reshman yearso he could play ootball.

Tough Michael seems to bebreaking records lef and right,his journey has not been easy.

“When I first went pro, I wasexcited, but or the first threemonths it was really tough be-cause I started to put a lot opressure on mysel,” he said. “Ithought I had to be better than

the older guys and I had to winevery race.”

He remembers eeling ner- vous and earing ailure. Onlyafer he attended a retreat didhe realize he was not definedby the success in his sport.

ina said that while Michaelwas struggling, she doubtedwhether they had made theright decision. All o the neg-ative posts online about Mi-chael was something they took

 very personally.“Now when I read something

negative, I literally pray overit and turn it into a blessing,”ina said.

Despite the negative com-ments, Michael still perse-

 vered.

“When I turned pro at theage o 14, that year was a bigturning point and I started to

have a real joy or swimming.Apart rom that, everythingwas extremely exciting,” Mi-chael said.

Although he has swam pro-essionally or two years, headmits going to the Olympicsis an entirely different ballgame — but something he hasalways wanted to do.

Te Andrew amily knewthat when Michael turned pro-essional, there was the possi-bility o not being able to swimin high school or college.

“By going pro, I ended up giv-

ing up my eligibility or swim-ming in high school or collegeand that was something wethought about,” Michael said.“I can still go to college, I justcan’t compete, but my goals layurther beyond that and theOlympics.”

As or going to college in acouple o years, Michael saidthat he would like to study cin-ematography or photography.

Michael uses a training meth-od that is unusual or mostswimmers: Ultra-Short Race-Pace raining, or USRP.

“Everything is science andrace-specific training,” Mi-chael said. “In a traditionaltraining program, the averageyardage is 7,000. With USRP,we are lucky i we get to 2,500

yards o practice.”Peter explained that race-spe-

cific means Michael practicesat the speed o an actual race.

“I we are training or the100 [yard] ree, we train at thespeed he will race at so whenhe goes into the race he’s al-ready done it a thousand timesand he dives in and does it.”

One o the benefits o USRPis that Michael’s body nevergoes into a atigued state, hisather said.

Peter said Michael’s aerobicsystem unctions maximal-ly the whole time because as

soon as his aerobic systemstarts to abate, he starts to ac-cumulate lactate and it locksdown the body.

ina added that they are stilllearning and figuring thingsout.

“Tere is a lot o value incharacter building to go overand a lot o people think it’seasy training, but it’s not,” inasaid. “It’s intense and short andreally hard.”

“People think we are weirdand crazy,” Peter said. “ Andmaybe we are crazy. We are

though; we love our kids.”At meets, people ofen come

up to Peter and tell him howgood Michael is, but it’s whathappens when he gets up togo swim that makes him standout.

“He gets up there and praysand that’s when kids say,‘watch him, watch him,’” Petersaid. “It’s a massive witnessing,and it’s really not about swim-ming. It affects people’s lives.”

Michael said his aith plays abig role in not only swimming,but everything in his lie.

“Faith is everything,” Michaelsaid. “I know that God giveslie and without God and whathe has done or my amily andI, there would be no point inswimming or being here.”

Michael also gets a lot o sup-port rom his amily. Peter andina said they realized romday one that their son had theability or great success.

“We are big dreamers androm day one, we realized thatMichael had been blessed,and we always envisioned bigthings,” ina said.

ina said she and Peter al-ways knew that Michael turn-ing pro and breaking recordswas something he was capableo. Even though Michael is do-ing all o this at only 16 yearsold, his mom doesn’t think

that the pressure o it all couldbecome too much.

“Swimming could never bea pressure because when hegets in the pool and he doesn’tmake a time that he wants andtrains or, he knows that,” inasaid.

In addition to skill, Michaelhas a massive platorm andans all over the world, his a-ther said.

“He definitely has a talent inthe pool, but it’s not even that,”Peter said. “People like Mi-chael not so much because he’s

a champion, but because he’s anormal, everyday kid.”

ina said she wants to seeMichael inspire kids not to beswimmers but to be respect-ul o their parents and to dowhatever they do with excel-lence.

“I will never orget the firstbig meet we went to afer Mi-chael went pro and we spokewith a dad who said he wishedhe could believe in his kid asmuch as we do,” ina said.

While both his parents havelofy goals or their son, Mi-chael just wants to show kidsthat you can have un outsideo swimming.
