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.
MEXICO CITY Softwarecompany founder John McAfee
said Monday he has left Belize
and is still on the run, adding we
are not in Belize, but not quiteout of the woods yet.
McAfee claimed in a blog post-
ing he had evaded authorities by
staging an elaborate distractionin neighboring Mexico. It was a
turn typical of the bizarre saga of
the eccentric anti-virus company
founder wanted for questioningin connection with the killing of
a fellow American ex-pat.
In an email to The Associated
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.

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.

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
need to look long-term and sup-
port one another. We need a little
therapy.

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

1. Kansas Sae (11-1)
Kansas State scored ve touch-
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
the Fiesta Bowl.
5. baylr (7-5)You have to applaud Baylor or com-
ing out strong in the nal three games
o the season. Coach Art Briles de-
serves a lot o credit or how the teamrebounded to wrap up the season. Te
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
came in third in 1999 as a redshirtfreshman, and Herschel Walker
was a true freshman for Georgia in
1980 when he finished third in the
Heisman balloting.Nicknamed Johnny Football,
Manziel quickly became a national
sensation this season.ASSOcIAtED PRESS PhOtOKansas State quarterback Cllin Klein thrws during the frst hal an NCAA

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.

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.
