Te Student Executive Com-mittee called or the res-ignations o Student BodyPresident Jessie Pringle, VicePresident Zach George andChie o Staff Adam Moon at ameeting on Friday.Pringle, George, Moon,

Communications DirectorIsaac Bahney, DevelopmentDirector omas Green andGovernment Relations Direc-tor Stephonn Alcorn were in

exas at the Big 12 conerencestudent government meeting,but attended the Committeemeeting via Skype. Memberso Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk,a campus group, also attended.

What happened?

At Friday’s meeting, the Stu-dent Executive Committee

voted to reduce the gener-al elections spending cap to$1,000. Tis vote will move thebill to ull Senate.Tere was also a “motion o

no confidence in the leader-ship” o Pringle, George and

Moon, according to a state-ment presented by the Com-mittee.“We demand that all three

resign their positions by 5:00p.m. Wednesday, November18, 2015. I they ail to submittheir resignations, we ask thatthe Full Student Senate bodytake up a bill o impeachmentand adopt the measure accord-ing to Student Senate Rulesand Regulations Article V Sec-tion 16.4,” read the statement.At the meeting, yler Chil-

dress, the finance committeechair, said the Student Execu-tive Committee supports RockChalk Invisible Hawk.“I’m first proposing that we

support Rock Chalk Invisible

Hawk and the 15 demands thatthey have made to the Univer-sity,” Childress said. “I thinkthey’re really quite simple andtame demands. Tey could bedemanding a lot more, and Ithink we need to get behindthem now on these.”One o the reasons calling

or the resignations was thatstudents at Wednesday’s townhall “spoke o the disconnectbetween Student Senate and itsblack constituents,” accordingto the document presented toattendees.Te conversation Friday then

divided into other issues listedin the document, includingPringle and George not stand-ing when white students wereasked to stand and proclaimthat black lives matter at thetown hall meeting. Another is-

sue was the silence rom Senatein regard to Rock Chalk Invis-ible Hawk’s demands. Bahneysaid Pringle and George stoodat that time, but did not stand

when the audience was askedto stand in support o RockChalk Invisible Hawk’s de-mands.“We are pissed, and we are

livid, and you guys are incom-petent,” said Kynnedi Grant,president o Black StudentUnion and a member o RockChalk Invisible Hawk. “Zacheven said he didn’t know thatall these multicultural organi-zations that he cares so muchabout are having a ood drive.How do you not know whenyou are constantly engaged?I don’t understand. Please tellme.”“I really need you to engage

about everything else that youhaven’t done or the rest othese students or the entiretyo the semester. I really don’tcare anymore about whether

or not you were standing upat this one event. You’ve beenabsent at literally every otherconversation,” said ShegufaHuma, vice president o Uni-

versity Senate.George, who was on staff last

year, said this Student Senatehas exceeded what was donelast year. He mentioned thatStudent Senate has regularmeetings with the Office oMulticultural Affairs and pres-ident roundtable meetings.“You have an entire group o

the student body that don’tthink that you represent themanymore and that the Senateis illegitimate in their eyesbecause the Senate doesn’trepresent them anymore,”Childress said. “Tat threatensthe integrity o this institution.And quite rankly, i you thinkthat you’ve done enough whenyou have students at a orum,students on social media, stu-dents talking to other senatorssaying that we aren’t doing

enough, but you think that weare because you are meetingwith some administrators,but you’re really not goingout and mixing with students

that are acing these concernson a day to day basis, that’sthe premise o why I have noconfidence in your leadershipanymore.”Pringle said she agrees with a

lot o the demands rom RockChalk Invisible Hawk butwould like to know more aboutthe demands. Pringle said theproblem is that campus isn’teducated and that some peopledo not believe there is racismon campus.“I think it’s about taking every

step to eradicate that,” Pringlesaid.Pringle also said that talking

to Precious Porras, interimdirector o the Office o Mul-ticultural Affairs, and NateTomas, vice provost or di-

versity and equity, is a step to-ward a solution.Grant said she sat down with

other students to discuss whatneeded to be done in hiring anew OMA director. Pringlewas present or two conver-sations and one conversationwith the entire executive boardin May on what needed to bedone, Grant said.

“Tis same rhetoric o plano action and, ‘We’re going todo this’ and, ‘We’re going to dothat’ was given to us,” Grantsaid. “So let’s not act here. Let’snot act like all o a sudden thishas happened because that’scontext that’s also very import-ant. So yler is saying y’all havethree days. I would argue thaty’all have had six months.”George and Pringle released a

statement on Saturday regard-ing the vote o no confidenceand the lack o response to thetown hall meeting.“We recognize our ailure to

respond to the town hall in atimely manner, and we sin-

More than 120 people werekilled and more than 350 werewounded in a series o terroristattacks in Paris, France, on Fri-day. Te shootings and suicidebombings in restaurants, pub-lic spaces and a soccer stadiumconstituted the worst attack inEurope since 2004, according toTe New York imes.

In an email, Erinn Bar-comb-Peterson, director onews and media or the Uni-

versity, said she did not know o

any University students that hadbeen affected. Students studyingin Paris have said the Office oStudy Abroad reached out tothem to make sure they are sae.

Te Kansan spoke to our Uni- versity students who are study-ing abroad in Paris and were inthe city during Friday’s terroristattacks. Tey shared their expe-riences o getting in touch withamily and riends and the Uni-

versity’s response.

What were Friday’sevents like as a student

studying abroad?Te past couple o days have

definitely been a bit tumultu-ous. I ound out what happenedwhen I was with my riends atone o their apartments. It wasinitially very shocking becauseyou really never think you'll bein a city where something likethis happens. Definitely themost disturbing thing aboutthe whole thing is seeing thesethings happen on the newsand they're not across an ocean

and thousands o miles away.Tey're just 10 or 15 minutesaway. You know people who livearound the corner rom whathappened who are locals here.You're directly affected by theevents because you aren't able toget home on what was supposedto be a normal night.

How did the Universitycheck in to make sure

you were safe?My study abroad program has

been great in keeping in con-tact with me and making sureI'm sae, and the Office o Study

Abroad at KU sent all o us an

email making sure we were saeand where our current locationwas.

Lauren Adamson, a

junior from Overland

Park majoring in

economics


studying abroad?I first heard about the shoot-

ing at the restaurant rom aclassmate who posted in ourprogram's WhatsApp group. I

honestly didn't think much oit, I think probably because I'mdesensitized to sporadic shoot-ings having grown up in the U.S.I then got the CNN alert on myphone that a bomb had gone off[near] the stadium where theFrance/Germany soccer gamewas going on. Tere was lots omisinormation flying around,people kept reporting differentshootings and bombs withoutreally knowing what was goingon. Afer that, I definitely real-ized it was more than a sporadicshooting and that it was a ullblown terrorist attack.

How did you let yourfamily, friends, as well asthe University know you

were safe?I called both o my parents to

tell them that I was at home andsae beore they had heard aboutit on the news so they wouldn'thave to worry, and I checkedin with all o my riends herein Paris to make sure they wereOK. Te KU Office o StudyAbroad did a great job o try-ing to get in touch. A bit afermidnight they both Facebookmessaged and emailed me toask where I was and i I was OK.

Tey had sent the same messageto everyone studying in France.I was definitely more impressedby that than by the U.S. StateDepartment. I got an email romthem at about 1 a.m. just updat-ing me on the situation, whichwas basically over at that point

studying abroad?My wie and I were at a restau-

rant with riends in the 18th

arrondissement when we start-ed receiving texts rom riendschecking on us. We quicklyfigured out what was going on,and the only news at that timewas at Stade de France and onerestaurant shooting. Every per-son in our restaurant were ina panic, on their phones, andleaving as quickly as possible.axis or Ubers were extreme-ly difficult to come by, but wefinally got an Uber to pick usup. Te streets were packed andchaotic with emergency vehiclesflying around. Our driver tried

multiple routes and finally gotus home. Troughout this time,we were all doing our best to getin touch with everyone we could

via text or American amily andriends through WhatsApp. Myriends and proessors emailedme to check on my saety as well.My colleagues at my internshiphad a group text going the nextmorning to ensure everyonewas sae.

Afer a town hall orum onWednesday sparked discussionabout racism and discrimi-nation on campus, Chancel-lor Bernadette Gray-Little,University departments andSenates, and student groupsissued statements on Friday inresponse.In her statement, Gray-Little

said KU is not sufficiently ad-dressing issues o racism.“At the same time, we must all

understand that, when it comesto racism and discrimination,change is unlikely to happenrom the top down,” Gray-Lit-tle said. “Change has to happenrom within our university, andit must involve all o us — ad-ministrators, students, aculty,staff and alumni — working to-

gether. Te university must beable to count on each o you tohelp us do better. In the end, weare all human beings, and we alldeserve to be treated with dig-nity and respect. And we are allJayhawks.”Te aculty in the Arican and

Arican American Studies de-partment released a statementsaying the University has notadequately addressed studentconcerns about racism in thepast, and instead is more o-cused on protecting its reputa-tion.“KU students o color testi-

fied to a disturbing pattern oanti-black intimidation and

violence in residence halls,classrooms, and other campusspaces — as well as spaces inthe larger Lawrence communi-ty," the statement read. "Equallydistressing, students expressed

the view that rom residencehall managers to the offices othe Provost and the Chancel-lor, the University has been armore interested in avoidingpublic exposure o racist inci-dents, suppressing student dis-content, and 'protecting' KU’sreputation than in substantive-ly addressing grievances by stu-dents o color.”Faculty members in the De-

partment o American Studieswere also critical o the Univer-sity’s handling o diversity is-sues across campus, saying theresponse rom administratorsto this point has been "ineffec-tive" and "dangerous.""KU administrators have been

slow to acknowledge and ad-dress these grievances, whichhas only reinorced a viewamong too many students ocolor that they are neither val-ued nor sae at KU," the de-partment said. "Tis ineffectiveresponse is dangerous, as it im-plicitly affirms and heightensacts o racial offense, hatred,

and terror."A joint statement rom Uni-

versity Senate President Mi-chael Williams, Staff SenatePresident Chris Wallace, Fac-ulty Senate President omBeisecker and Student SenatePresident Jessie Pringle said itis up to University governanceto ollow through on the callto action that has been madeto address racism and diversityissues on campus."A call or action has been

made to right the wrongs wehave ignored or too long. Wehave heard the needs o stu-

dents o color and other diversebackgrounds. We must act nowto make our campus a placewhere students can eel sae to

succeed, and all can live andwork in an atmosphere o sup-port and inclusion,” the state-ment read. "Our students needour help. Tey are not asking tobe coddled or given any specialprivileges. Tey are just askingto eel as though they matter —on Jayhawk Boulevard, in theirdorms, in the caeterias, in theclassrooms o our campus, ando course, the community atlarge."Students United or Repro-

ductive and Gender Equity, astudent group, announced itssupport on Facebook or RockChalk Invisible Hawk and itsdemands.“In its history, SURGE, or-

merly the Commission on theStatus o Women, has ailed toadvocate with and or wom-en o color, specifically blackwomen,” the statment reads.“Te organization has ailed toaddress the different ways inwhich racism and colorism im-pact black women’s bodies. Teorganization apologizes, and

will no longer participate inwhite supremacy by silencingthis reality. We stand behindRock Chalk Invisible Hawk,and strongly encourage othersocial justice oriented organi-zations to ollow suit.”Te September Siblings, a

student group that ormed lastyear to protest the way the Uni-

versity responds to sexual as-sault, also issued a statement onFacebook in support o RockChalk Invisible Hawk "Students o color — particu-

larly black women, queer, trans,and LGB students — ace un-

acceptably high levels o sexual violence, higher than the rateso sexual violence aced by theirwhite peers. Additionally, ad-

ministrative insensitivity to thecultures and experiences o stu-dents o color makes reportingand pursuing justice even moredifficult and ofen uneasible.Until the University activelyundertakes efforts to disman-tle white supremacy, efforts tocounter sexual violence will beincomplete. Te ways in whichstudents experience sexual vi-olence are closely tied to theirracial identities.”en doctoral students in the

Women, Gender, and Sexuali-ty Studies department issued astatement in support o RockChalk Invisible Hawk and itsdemands. Te statement callsor the University to "addressthe injustices it continues tocommit against students o col-or on this campus.""We strive to ensure that black

students and other students ocolor eel supported and air-ly represented in each o ourclassrooms, and at every levelo the University. We activelyencourage dialogue that recog-

nizes the importance o inter-sectional, minority identities.We have a zero-tolerance policyregarding racism in our class-rooms and promise to stand insolidarity with students o colorin any and all situations wherethey are being attacked. As parto this effort, we will continual-ly work to recognize our ownprivilege and hold each otheraccountable or our actions.Our office doors are now, andhave been, open or any stu-dents who want or need to talkto someone. We are here, wewill listen, and we will believe

cerely apologize," read thestatement. "Yet, we want it tobe known that we share thedesire and commitment to ad-dress the needs o underservedcommunities at the University.We thank Rock Chalk Invis-ible Hawk or bringing theirdemands to the KU Campusto move orward together inmaking an equitable and in-clusive community. Now isthe time to produce collectivework to make KU a sae andwelcoming environment orall students. Trough thought-ul collaboration we can cre-ate substantive and impactulchange.”Some attendees, including

Huma, asked Pringle to iden-tiy a reason why or why notRock Chalk Invisible Hawk’sdemands are adequate, ratherthan bring up problems thathad already been discussed at

the town hall meeting.“I think sel reflection or me

is going to take a little bit o awhile so I think — thank youor the extension o your act —I think that I absolutely thinkI’m equipped with the skills inorder to acilitate the discus-sion that is needed or all stu-dents on campus,” Pringle said.

Alex Kinkead, a senator orthe School o Social Welare,said he believes Pringle maynot be the best person or theposition.“I’ve been tracking patterns,

and you’re not even able toaddress students o color cor-rectly, and this might not beyour ault,” Kinkead said. “Youmight not be as educated assome other students, but that’s

intaking that you are just notthe right person or the job.”

What does this mean

for Senate?

During the impeachmentprocess, “Student Senate Rulesand Regulations Article V Sec-tion 16.4.1 states, ‘I both thestudent body vice presidentand the Student Senate chie ostaff are principles, the SeniorSenator shall ulfill the dutieso the student body vice pres-ident,’” Childress said in anemail. “Te senior senator orthe 2015–2016 Senate is Lau-ren Arney.”Childress said all other posi-

tions would remain.“Te only positions that

would be vacated would be thepresident, vice president, andchie o staff because those ap-pointments and hirings wereapproved by the Student Sen-

ate and are not affected by theBill o Impeachment,” he said.

What happens next?

Childress said that i Pringle,George and Moon do not re-sign beore Nov. 18 at 5 p.m.,the motion will be set into pre-liminary steps. According toStudent Senate Rules and Reg-ulations, i one-ourth o the

voting members o Senate sign

the bill, written notificationwill be given to Senate and theaccused.A committee would then be

created and would includethe chairs o the our standingSenate committees and fivesenators chosen by a lottery.Te committee would then

compile acts o the investiga-tion and write a report, includ-ing a ormal recommendation.Te chair o the committeewould then present the reportto Senate.Te accused — Pringle,

George and Moon — wouldthen be allowed to introducetheir cases. Senate would then

vote by majority whether tohear the case.I Senate decides to hear the

case, a special meeting wouldbe called at which the accusedcould answer questions. Senatewould then debate the charges

and vote to discipline the ac-cused. Any actions would re-quire a two-thirds majority.“Te Student Senate will elect

rom its members a new presi-dent and vice president,” i theaccused are impeached, Chil-dress said in an email. “Tenew president would thennominate a student to be chieo staff and the Senate would

vote to approve or deny that

appointment.”Childress has been at the Uni-

versity or six years and saidhe has never seen a vote o noconfidence.

It was prettyscary to hear it all unold; thehostage situation was develop-ing live, the gunmen were run-ning through the streets o Paris,and people were already talkingabout climbing over bodies to

escape rom Bataclan, coveredin blood, and running all theway to the Metro.

What announcementswere made throughout

the city about theattacks?

Tere was an announcementmade near the end o the nightthat all schools in Paris wouldbe closed on Saturday and I gotan email rom my administra-tion in the morning saying that

classes would resume Monday.I've been really curious to see

how the city has changed overthe last two days. Paris is still thesame place, but there are notice-ably less people out-and-about.I imagine Monday is going tobe the most normal day, sinceeveryone's going to go back towork and schools are startingagain, but it's been a strangetime.

Inormed by their backgroundn high school debate and o-ensics and encouraged by annthropology proessor, threereshmen rom Manhattan,an., are reviving the Lawrenceranch o Amnesty Internation-l.Amnesty International is aorldwide organization ound-

d in 1961 that ocuses onromoting human rights andaising awareness or humanights violations. Te organiza-ion fights global issues such asoverty and war, but it’s active in

ocal communities through itshapters.“Amnesty is an internationalrganization, so at the top ohe hierarchy you have agentsorking to solve these huge in-

ernational problems like trans-ational human trafficking,ar, poverty," co-ounder rev-r Bashaw said. "It’s all a verylobal struggle, but at the sameime change does sort o start atlocal and community level, soy starting this grassroots effort

[we aim to] just to spread [the

word] that these problems arehappening and we need to fixthem."

Flora Riley, another co-ound-er, chose to help spearhead thestart o a University chapter atthe suggestion o her anthro-pology proessor. Te proessorhad been involved in a ormerKU chapter o the organiza-tion nearly six years ago, but itpetered out when the studentsrunning it graduated. Te newchapter aims to include thecommunity outside o Lawrenceas well as KU students to en-courage longevity.

“College organizations havetransient members," Banshawsaid. "Tey’re there our years,then they leave, so you need tohave an ongoing cycle o peoplemaintaining interest or a solidbase o Lawrencians who livehere engaged in this organiza-tion along with students."

Specifically within Lawrenceand the Kansas City area, theounders say they hope to beable to shed light on parts o thecommunity that are not noticed.Te chapter will ideally have theability to motivate change and

help those in need.

“Nobody really associatesKansas with things like domes-tic violence or abuse firsthand,but those things do happen,especially in metropolitan areaslike Lawrence and Kansas City,"co-ounder Peter Sang said. "It’sreally important that there areoutreach networks and as manyoutreach networks as possible tohave sort o a net over an entirearea; that way there's support iit's needed."

Te students said they hopeto make this chapter about theneeds and wants o the mem-bers. While they consider them-

selves ounding members othe chapter, they will not set upmuch o a hierarchy within thesystem. Tey said the goal othis chapter is to allow studentsand community members toadvocate or the issues they careabout.

“Tere's a lot o issues that Icare about, but it’s really hard toget going as just one person justto find awareness and continuegathering momentum or yourissue, but i you have an organi-zation such as Amnesty whereyou can pitch ideas to people

who share the same sort o con-science as you do and the samesort o awareness, it’s a lot easier,”Sang said.

Te KU/Lawrence chapter oAmnesty will be a bipartisanorganization or students to getinvolved in political issues.

“KU has a lot o political stu-dent organizations, but a lot otimes it alls on dividing lineslike young Democrats, or itmight be something like spec-

trum, and those are great orga-nizations, but their ocus is kindo limited, so Amnesty kind ogives a chance or anyone, re-gardless o political affiliation, toget involved in a way that theywant to,” Bashaw said.

Te chapter is still in its ear-ly developmental stages. Teounders are currently ocusingon drumming up interest in theorganization through Facebookand discussing the club with

riends. Te group hopes to bean official chapter by all o 2016.

“People can start up at anytime. I you want to help us rightnow in our beginning stages, iyou are passionate about humanrights violations, anyone cancome and join,” Riley said.

Several student groups at theUniversity say they are opposedto a campus saety bill that is be-ing discussed on a national level— the Sae Campus Act.

Te bill was previously sup-

ported by national Greek or-ganizations, but the NationalPanhellenic Conerence and theNorth American InterraternityConerence reversed their posi-tion on Friday.

On Nov. 11, both the StudentRights and University Affairscommittees o Student Senatepassed a resolution opposing

the national bill. InterraternityCouncil Senator John Rebeinsaid he spoke with raternitymembers and contributed ideasin support o the resolution.

Te resolution, written by oursenators and three executiveboard members, urges or theSae Campus Act to be killed inthe Federal House Committeeon Education and the Workorce,the U.S. House o Representa-tives committee to which the billwas reerred.

Te Sae Campus Act wouldprohibit university investigationsinto a sexual assault case unlessthe victim files a police reportand the police investigate thecrime first.

Te bill has aced both criticismand support since its introduc-tion in February. Te NationalPanhellenic Conerence and theNorth American InterraternityConerence, both o which hiredlobbyists to get the bill passed,withdrew their support on Fri-day afer hearing eedback romtheir chapters.

Rebein said last week that noneo his constituents — all KU ra-ternity members — agreed withtheir national organizations’

views.“Our voices are being overshad-

owed by our nationals because allo us personally in Greek lie donot support it,” Rebein said.

KU Panhellenic President Han-

nah Reinhart did not commenton KU Panhellenic’s perspectiveon the resolution or national bill.

Some oppose the bill, sayingthat requiring those who are re-porting an assault may be lesslikely to report i they know theywill have to go through a policeinvestigation. Police can’t carryout university-specific sanctionsand actions, like interim mea-sures or victims.

“Sometimes law enorcementcan make things a whole lotworse,” said omas Green, Stu-dent Senate development direc-tor. “Sometimes it can put the

victim in greater danger. In es-sence, this bill deprives victimso sexual assaults the reedom to

pursue their cases how they seefit.”

Graduate Affairs Director An-gela Murphy, who co-authored

the resolution, said she was im-pressed with the Greek commu-nity’s involvement with this bill,especially since several o thehouses initially went against theirnational affiliations’ views.

“Tis is a huge step or theGreek community at KU to say,‘Our national organizations aremaking decisions on our behalthat don’t respect our valuesand needs,’” Murphy said. “It’sbeen an honor seeing these peo-ple working so hard to fight orsomething they truly believe ininstead o taking the easy routeand allowing their nationalcounterparts to silence them.”

I am one o the many alumswho watched yesterday’s o-rum rom aar. As the creatoro the original #RockChalkIn-

visibleHawk hashtag, I cannotexpress how proud I am thatits use is promoting visibleaction and change on thiscampus.

Tose students, many owhom have had their collegecareers disrupted by the cow-ardly racist actions o their

peers, spoke rom immensepain, atigue, and the patrioticand civic principles they holdnot only as Americans, butalso as Jayhawks.

I would like to remind theKU community that thesesame students, whom some o

you hold in contempt or notdemonstrating a “neutral toneo voice” to our chancellor,were in constant polite and re-spectable discussions with notonly the chancellor but alsoProvost Vitter and Provost oDiversity and Inclusion NateTomas.

I, along with my peers, ex-pressed the plight o all mul-ticultural students (women,LGB, students with disabili-ties, veterans, nontraditionalstudents, undocumentedstudents and internationalstudents) with these admin-istrators. Tose conversationsrustratingly were ofen metwith stalemate, which I believewas or ear o drawing the ireo not only the Kansas legisla-ture, but also o donors stuck

in an older era.Let it be said that the stakes

are too high to continue this“polite and civility” theater.Kynnedi Grant was almostshot to death by racist stu-dents on Halloween. Admin-istrators heard dozens o blackstudents state that they wouldbe leaving KU or ear o theirsaety.

I have told both the chan-cellor and vice provost theprospect o students not leav-ing their dorms during examsor ear o meeting violencemotivated by hatred. Studentsare at risk o dying, and staffand aculty are earul ogiving verbal support dueto possible retaliation romadministrators.

In addition to lackluster ac-

ulty retention, the Universitycannot even retain its ownadministrators: Provost AnnCudd has already taken off,and Provost Vitter is soon toleave or his own racial strieas Chancellor o Ole Miss.

Chancellor Gray-Little wasthe sacrificial lamb on whichthe campus could voice theirrustrations, pain and despair.She is responsible or allowingthe University to get to thisnadir, but this is a sharedresponsibility with her whiteadministrators, aculty andstaff, who, save ProessorShawn Alexander, maintainedtheir silence throughout theorum.

Tat silence is cynical,irresponsible, and a disgraceto this institution, and it is the

engine that perpetuates thistoxic culture that blew up ineveryone’s ace yesterday.

Te chancellor, in a recentnews conerence with thepress, expressed her doubtsthat the public, flagship uni-

versity would continue to existwithin the next 100 years. In-deed, its demolishment will beaccelerated not solely by statefinancial divestment, but bythe entire campus’ unwilling-ness to do the right thing.

Osei is a 2015 graduate ofthe University, where she wonthe Rusty Leffel ConcernedStudent Award. She is currentlya PhD student in history atthe University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign.

Plan B is an importantoption post-intercourse ormany women, especially thosein college. But too many wom-

en don’t know what it is orhow it works.

What exactly is

Plan B?

Plan B is a orm o emergen-cy contraception. It can betaken afer having unprotectedsex to prevent pregnancy. PlanB is a lot like a regular birthcontrol pill in that it givesyour body a high dose o ahormone called levnorgesterolto prevent pregnancy.

However, there are a coupleo differences. Plan B doesn’trequire a prescription, and

there is no age limitation— anyone can walk into apharmacy and buy it. With thedaily birth control pill, a wom-

an must go see a gynecologistand get a prescription.

Part o this is because birthcontrol pills that you takeevery day are overall moreeffective than Plan B — notto mention it is a good idea to

have a discussion with yourdoctor and pharmacist aboutsomething you’re putting intoyour body every day.

Both pills only work toprevent pregnancy; they donot protect against sexuallytransmitted inections.

Misconception #1: Plan

B is like an abortion pill.

Plan B cannot terminate apregnancy that has alreadyhappened. A woman doesn’timmediately become pregnantthe second that sperm and anegg meet — the ertilized egg

still has to be able to implantinto the uterine wall or apregnancy to occur. Some-times the ertilized egg won’timplant until days later.

Let me reiterate — preg-nancy does not happen untilertilization and implanta-tion have both occurred.Sometimes ertilized eggswon’t implant even i there isnothing stopping them; it can

just happen.A woman is not pregnantuntil implantation happens.It’s thought that Plan B andthe birth control pill work bypreventing release o an eggrom the ovary, but they mayalso work at the second step,which is preventing implan-tation by thinning the uterinelining. I a ertilized egg hasalready implanted, then thereis nothing Plan B can do.

Misconception #2: Plan

B is good for use as a

regular method of birth

control.Yes, Plan B is a lot like regu-

lar birth control, but the doseis higher, so it can be used upto three days afer unpro-

tected sex. It’s considerablyless effective or regular usethan a normal birth controlpill because the regular pill istaken every day, ideally at thesame time.

I you’re consistently having

unprotected sex, you need tocome up with another plan,whether that’s taking a regularbirth control pill or getting anintrauterine device, or IUD(ladies), or having a betterstash o condoms (everyone).

How to use Plan B:

First, as a KU student, youcan get Plan B at the WatkinsHealth Center pharmacy. It’sabout hal the cost o buyingit at other pharmacies, whichis useul because it can be ex-pensive elsewhere, especiallywhen on a college budget.

Secondly, it is only effectiveor 72 hours afer unprotectedsex, and the sooner you takeit, the more effective it is.

Tere are some side effects,

but the biggest one is nausea.I you vomit within two hourso taking Plan B, you need totake it again and also talk withyour doctor or pharmacist.I you don’t get your periodwithin a week, you should

take a pregnancy test.

Who should take

Plan B?

You’d be surprised, but Ineed to say it — only womencan take Plan B to preventpregnancy. I you are a guyand you take it, it is not goingto stop anything.

I you are already takingbirth control pills or have anIUD, then you should not takePlan B on top o this. Plan B isemergency contraception orwhen there is no other orm obirth control.

Letter to the editor: KU administration’s

silence at town hall forum is disgracefulCASSANDRA OSEI

Despite misconceptions, we should considerourselves feminists and stand up for equal rights

Sexism is widespread in oursociety, but people ofen shyaway rom labeling themselvesas eminists because o someo the attached misconcep-tions.

While there may be someeminists that dislike men,they are the vast minority andare ar rom the definition oeminism. According to theRandom House Dictionary,a eminist is defined as an“advocate or social, political,

legal, and economic rightsor women equal to those omen.”

Is it worth the hassle to con-sider yoursel a eminist, de-spite the possible assumptionsand backlash? Absolutely.

Te benefits that come romadvocating or equal rights orwomen do not only benefitwomen. In a recent New Yorkimes opinion piece “Moms,and Dads, Need to alk AboutSexism,” the columnist, KateLombardi, talks about howgirls who battle against tradi-tional male roles are inspi-

rational, while boys who actmore eminine can be subjectto criticism.

I we advocated eminism asa good thing, boys would notace that contempt.

In addition to benefitingall genders, being a eministis not separate rom beingan advocate o other social

justice issues. Intersectional-ity is critical or the eministmovement.

Jarune Uwujaren and JamieUtt define intersectionalityin an article or EverydayFeminism as “a rame that rec-

ognizes the multiple aspectso identity that enrich ourlives and experiences and thatcompound and complicateoppressions and marginaliza-tions.”

Feminism even connectswith non-identity issues.Ecoeminism connects boththe environment and emi-nists. In the essay “Ecoem-inist Visions,” the authorsexplain that “although there isno one ‘correct’ ecoeminism,most ecoeminists wouldagree with the core preceptthat the domination o women

and the domination o natureare undamentally connected.”

By standing up or equalrights or women, we canurther our society in manyacets.

I you don’t want to consideryoursel a eminist becauseyou are araid o what peoplethink, then who will? It is ourresponsibility to see the valuein advocating or equal rights.

ALEX ROBINSON/KANSANMark Raymer, a graduate student from Texas, stands with two of his collages in his studio.

Te latest chapter in the lifeof Mark Raymer, printmak-er and University graduatestudent, has been unfoldingin Lawrence since the print-maker chose to attendthe graduate artprogram three

years ago.

Raymer was born in NewZealand and raised in exasfor most of his life. Before hecame to Kansas, Raymer re-ceived a Bachelor's degree inprintmaking from the Univer-sity of North exas in Denton.Raymer took a break followingthe completion of his degree atNorth exas and returned to

New Zealand to live there andtake a break in between gradschool. He then returned readyto focus on his art schooling.

“I applied to 13 grad schoolsbecause I wanted to be sure Igot in somewhere. I choseKansas because the facili-ties are amazing in termsof printmaking, and the

campus is beautiful,” Raymersaid. “I visited Lawrence, andit was a really cool town, verysimilar to Denton.”Simply known before as the

Art and Design building, Ray-mer’s studio and part-timehome exists among a host ofother studios. Tis part-timehome is inside the recentlyrenamed Chalmers Hall in

honor of former ChancellorE. Laurence Chalmers, whoserved at Kansas from 1969-1972.“I usually get here at about

eight in the morning and usu-ally leave here at about eightor nine at night,” Raymer said.“In between there, I do a lot ofsitting and staring and think-ing, as well as making. I teachthe Intro to Printmaking classhere, and then I teach a screenprinting class at the LawrenceArts Center.”Raymer takes prints that he

produces and cuts them up to

form different collages. He saidthe collage process allows himto take prints and put them touse in a way that they were notoriginally intended for. Ray-mer combines his prints withpersonal drawings and fabricsto create complex, artistic vi-

sions with texture.“I get a lot of my fabrics at the

antique mall. I like finding oldfabrics that have a history tothem that were made for a spe-cific purpose,” Raymer said. “Ilike to take those and cut themup and reshape them and reusethem, much like I do with myprints.”He describes his first experi-

ence with art as placing Ninjaurtles figurines on his kin-dergarten desk and attempt tosketch them as best he could.“Like how most kids do, when

I drew the muscles I would justbe a bunch of humps. Teywere just extra strong,” Ray-mer said.A class experience in Ray-

mer’s past influenced him andsolidified his interest in art andthe potentiality of a career inart. He cited a high school artclass in which he was drawinga self-portrait and was able tosuccessfully capture his own

likeness.“It actually looked like me,

and I was really excited bythat,” Raymer said. “Like, wow,I can just look at somethingand translate it through myeyes into my hand onto the pa-per and have it resemble what

I am looking at.”With a more sophisticated

stylistic palette, Raymer nowdraws influence from artistslike Canadian painter, illus-trator and sculptor MarcelDzama as well as printmakerDennis McNett.“Te world of printmaking

has been a great place to findwho I am as a person,” Raymer

said. “It’s that sense of commu-nity that I have found reallystrong in printmaking as anart form itself.”Art has not only given Ray-

mer a sense of communitywith the collaboration and ca-maraderie he finds with fellowprintmakers but also a sense ofindividuality.“I can make these pieces and

put them up. Tis is me. Tisis my aesthetic. Tis is what Iam into,” Raymer said. “I thinkas humans it is important toexpress ourselves. It is a veryhuman thing to look at some-

thing that was made by anoth-er person and relate to it andfind meaning in it. If we wereever to lose that, we would loseour humanity.”

Art in Focus: Mark Raymer, printmaker

CONTRIBUTED/KANSAN“Printmaking, as a medium, allows me to realize the aesthetic I wish for my work to convey; this process, as reflected in the print, hints at thefoundation of a story,” Raymer said.

“I can make thesepieces and put themup. This is me. This ismy aesthetic. This iswhat I am into.”

DISCUSSION GROUPS:

FIRST IN THEIR CLASS

Tuesday, Nov. 17 - Noon

with Judy Lloyd, Dole Fellow and Donna Lucas, former Chief of Staff to CA First Lady Maria Shriver

This series on unique women leaders wraps up with 30-year

political veteran Donna Lucas. Lucas’ career has included time

as the deputy chief of staff for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

and chief of staff to First Lady Maria Shriver.

All events free, open to the public and held at the Dole Institute.

In her most recent proj-ect, “Suffragette,” Acade-my-Award-nominated ac-tress Carey Mulligan (“AnEducation”) plays a work-ing-class-woman-turned-re-bellious suffragette duringa time when men called allthe shots. Her previous workhas been seen on films suchas “Pride & Prejudice,” “TeGreat Gatsby” and “InsideLlewyn Davis.”

While promoting “Suffrag-ette,” Mulligan took the timeto speak with college stu-dents rom all over the coun-try, including the University.Trough her responses, Mul-

ligan revealed her immensepassion or the film, as well asher support or women's rightstoday.

“I think a lot o the issues inthe film are hugely relevantnow, and one o them is defi-nitely the pay gap. In a lot oways, there are lots o thingsthat we haven’t improved on,really, in 100 years, and that’sdefinitely a big part o the con-versation now, especially in myindustry," Mulligan said. "AndI think that’s a great conversa-tion to be having because it isunair, and it has always been

unair."She added: "We talk about it

in the film industry becausepeople look to the film indus-try and listen to a lot o thingsthat actors and actresses say,and I think that we can usethat to have a wider impact onsociety because it shouldn’t bea sel-serving conversation. Itshould be about, sort o, thewider society and how womenare treated in the workplaceand the pay gap in general.”

Te film is largely based on

the struggles women had inthe early to mid-nineteenthcentury, namely the fight orwomen’s suffrage. Written anddirected by women, “Suffrag-ette” is not helmed by men asis the case or most films today.Mulligan said she eels that itwould be impossible to imag-ine what the film would be likei directed by a man instead oa woman.

“I can’t really say the experi-ence would be one way or an-

other because it was directedby a woman, but I do eel thatas a kind o group o women,we elt very excited to be theones who are finally going toget to tell this story because it issuch a huge part o our historythat has been so completely ne-glected," she said. "Honestly, Idon’t think it would have beenmade by a man. I think it wasalways going to take this groupo really tenacious women toget it made. Te experience is

so unique, and it shouldn’t bea unique experience to workwith a large group o women,but it was. [Director] Sarah[Gavron] just led it in the mostbrilliant, thoughtul way.”

“Suffragette” tells a story thatis a large part o history, yet itis ultimately lef out o text-books as an unrecognized timeor women. Since the majorityo these women’s stories arelef untold, Mulligan said shewanted to give them a proper

voice and display them as no-bly as they truly were.

“I think [the film] is sort o asalute to them and a tribute tothem. And obviously we wanttheir story to be told because itis something that’s been writ-ten out o our history booksin England," she said. "I thinkwe wanted to show their cour-age and their conviction. Youknow, this is largely womenwho had everything to lose.And I think there was a huge

amount o sacrifice made."At that time to make the

choice to be a suffragette wasincredibly dangerous andrisky and could ruin you. Teystood behind it and enduredeverything you see in the filmand more because they elt sostrongly that they needed to dothis not really or themselves,but or their uture, or the u-ture generations.”

Ever wonder about some

of Kansas’ craziest and

In Topeka, it’s against

the law to scream in a

haunted house.

In many cities in Kan-

sas, it is expressly illegal

to spit on a sidewalk.

Also in Topeka, it is

against the law to sing

in the streets at night. If

you wanted to whistle

a tune, you can tech-nically be arrested for

causing a disturbance.

Right here in Lawrence,

it is illegal to wear a bee

in your hat.

It is illegal to hit a vend-

ing machine that stole

your money in Derby.

It’s an understandable

urge, but it’s not worth

going to jail for.

In Russell, musical car

horns are banned.

For those cat lovers

living in Wellington,

you're technically not

allowed to have more

than four cats in your

household.

Snowball fights are ille-

gal in Topeka.

Upon entering the city

limits of Lawrence, you

must sound your car

horn to warn the hors-

es of your arrival.

In Derby, people

are not allowed to

“screech” their car tires

while driving.

In Natoma, the prac-

tice of throwing knives

at men in striped suits

is prohibited.

In the days leading up to theseason opener, Kansas headcoach Bill Sel didn’t eel histeam was ready or the regu-lar season. But Kansas provedotherwise in a 109-72 drub-bing o Northern Colorado onFriday night.

It’s undeniable that the Jay-hawks were impressive. Teyshot a blistering 56 percentrom the floor and 58 percentrom the three on their way to109 points and their biggestmargin o victory in a seasonopener since 2011.

“I like the way we’re playing

right now,” said senior orward

Perry Ellis. “I think we’re play-ing ast, and I think that’s realgood. I’m happy with wherewe’re at right now, and we’reonly going to get better.”

Tere’s no doubt that the Jay-hawks were the superior teamon Friday, and they did whatthey were supposed to do.But the competition heats upquickly or Kansas as the teamtravels to Chicago on uesdayto take on No. 13 MichiganState in the fifh edition o theChampions Classic.

“We’ve already flipped theswitch,” said junior guardBrannen Greene. “Coach told

us afer the game that romthis point orward everything

is Michigan State.”

Te Jayhawks are no strangerto big games, especially earlyin the season. Te core groupo Ellis, Greene, junior guardWayne Selden Jr., junior guardFrank Mason III, and seniororward Jamari raylor haveplayed together in Jayhawks’last two Champions Classicgames.

“We’ve experienced it. Weknow what it takes,” Ellis said.“We just have a great eel orplaying a big team early in theseason.”

Last season, the Jayhawksand Spartans played in No-

vember in the finals o the

Orlando Classic, a game thatthe Jayhawks won in an ugly

ashion, 61-56. Both teams had

more turnovers than assists,and shot less than 40 percentrom the field.

“Both teams labored to scorelast year,” Sel said. “Teymissed a ton o bunnies thatplayed to our benefit, but thenWayne goes 0-o-10. It wasn’tartistic by any means, and Ithink both teams will play bet-ter. But I know they’ll guardus, and we’ll have to do a muchbetter job deensively thanwe’ve shown so ar.”

Last season, Michigan Statewent 27-12 and lost to theeventual National Champion,Duke, in the Final Four. In the

offseason, the Spartans lost se-nior guard ravis rice and se-

nior orward Branden Dawson

to graduation, but they returnseniors Denzel Valentine, MattCostello and Bryn Forbes.

Michigan State was im-pressive in its 82-55 win overFlorida Atlantic on Nov. 13.Down low, the Spartans dom-inated with 53 rebounds and12 blocked shots, and theyshowed they will present atough matchup or Kansas inthe paint.

Te Jayhawks, who have a1-3 record in the ChampionsClassic over the last our years,haven’t had a lot o success soar in the early season event.Last year, Kansas suffered one

o its worst losses in recentmemory with a 72-40 loss at

the hands o Kentucky, but Sel

said he hasn’t even mentionedthat game as a possible motiva-tional tool.

Te Jayhawks have anoth-er chance this year to provethemselves on the nation-al stage in another marqueematchup — this time againsta team Sel believes is capableo winning the Big 10 Coner-ence.

“It would be nice to win at ahigher clip,” Sel said. “But allcollege basketball ans’ eyeswill be on that game, and we’llget the chance to be show-cased. It’ll be un.”

Kansas Associate AthleticsDirector Jim Marchiony saidAthletics would discuss in theoffseason a change in the waystudents and ticket holders areallowed to enter Kansas volley-ball games.

On Wednesday night, severalstudents said they were told theymight not be able to get into theHorejsi Family Athletics Cen-ter or the match against exas,which the Jayhawks lost in fivesets.

Horejsi has a capacity o1,300. Athletics approximatedthat 1,503 were in the buildingWednesday night. By its count,111 o those people were stu-dents. Later, Marchiony said inan email to the Kansan there

d d

hal ahead o time in hopes theywould get seats.

“We got here 10 minutes be-ore 5 [p.m.],” said Will Lemm,a reshman rom Leavenworth.“Tey let the first 10 studentswho were outside the studententrance in. Beyond that theywouldn’t let any [more students]in until everybody else had got-ten in.”

Lemm said he and his tworiends were the third, ourthand fifh students in line.

Afer KU Athletics let in the10 students, a person who ap-peared to be an Athletics em-ployee told a Kansan reporter itwas unlikely that more than 20students would be able to enterthe match. Other students saidthey lef, assuming they wouldnot get in.

“We got there about an hourearly and started waiting Tere

ing let in because all the generaladmission was,” said Avery An-derson, a student who lef on hisown accord assuming he wouldbe turned away. “And then wewaited about 20 minutes or 25minutes, and they came out andsaid that they were probablyonly going to be able to let 20more students in, and everyoneelse wasn’t going to get a seat.”

Marchiony said, generally,students and people with gen-eral admission seats enter atthe same time. He also said theUniversity “didn’t have an issue”with people getting in to Turs-day night’s match.

“She didn’t say, ‘Only 20,’” Mar-chiony said, reerring to an Ath-letics employee. “She said, ‘We’regoing to let 20 in right now andas we see how the stands are,we’ll let more in.’”

He added: “Tat was a mis

got in. Tere were a lot o peoplewho didn’t misinterpret that.”

Marchiony said it was possibleKU Athletics would alter theentrance system in the uture.He said he thinks changing howstudents are let into the HorejsiFamily Athletics Center wouldbe something that the admin-istration would discuss in theoffseason.

Horejsi Family Athletics Cen-ter has consistently filled overcapacity during Kansas volley-ball games this season, accord-ing to the reported attendancenumbers rom KU Athletics.Tere have been more than1,400 ans at every home Big 12match the Jayhawks have playedthis year; there have been morethan 1,500 in all but one Big 12home match.

And going over capacity hasaffected students and student

Wayne Selden Jr. tweeted that heeared he wouldn’t be able to getinto Wednesday’s match, but heeventually got in.

Marchiony said KU Athleticsdid not give special treatment to

on line,” Marchiony said in anemail.

Marchiony did not give a time-table o when a potential changewould happen.

Athletics may change how students get in to volleyball games

ZOE LARSON/KANSAN

The game against Texas was sold out, leaving students towait until they could be let in if there were extra seats.

About 28 minutes north oHouston’s loop at Te Wood-lands High School, yler Pat-rick, an undersized speedsterwithout a true position, was pre-paring to start his high schoolootball career.It was 2010. Te Woodlands

ootball coach Mark Schmidand his staff were brainstormingwhere to put the small resh-man, who, at the time, didn’thave a lot to offer outside o hisspeed. Beore they could decide,Patrick broke his oot and wasout or the season.For the first time, Patrick’s work

ethic was tested. Eventually,Patrick came back and startedat saety on the junior varsityteam. Four years later, that samespeedy, undersized receiver wasstarting or David Beaty’s Kan-sas Jayhawks — he was just a bittaller and aster.

“He just kept working,” Beatysaid beore his team openedthe conerence season this year.“He’s one o those kids that hasshown he’s been ready or thechallenge, and he’s been consis-tent.”

Recovery

Te broken oot was the firstpivotal point in Patrick’s shortcareer.As a reshman, he didn’t have a

place on the ootball field, and asa sophomore coming off a ootinjury, that couldn’t have beenmore difficult.“His reshman year was going

to be an important year as aras us kind o defining wherehe would play or us,” Schmidsaid. “We typically, afer a kid'sreshman year, we kind o steerhim to one side o the ball or theother — either as an offensiveplayer or a deensive player.”Schmid and the coaching staff

didn’t get that luxury with Pat-rick. Instead o using his resh-man year to decide where he wasgoing to play, he was designatedas a saety beore the spring ohis sophomore year. Once thecast, which immobilized his oot

or months, was removed, hewas doing what he did best rightaway: running.Patrick spent evenings with

Te Woodland’s ormer trackand field coach and had regulartraining times to run on his re-cently healed oot. When springtraining came around, he wasslotted into the saety spot. Hestayed healthy in his sophomoreyear and started on the junior

varsity team, though still a bitundersized, but, more impor-tantly, still ast.“Once that thing healed, he

worked extremely hard in theoffseason to get back, to givehimsel an opportunity to proveto the coaches that he was agood ootball player and therewas a place or him,” Schmidsaid. “Tat whole attitude waswho he was, the entire time hewas here.”Patrick thrived at saety the

next year as a starter on the var-sity team. Patrick led Schmid’steam in tackles with 84 andwas first team all-district andall-county and earned an hon-orable mention at the all-statelevel.Moreover, that season served

as a taste o offense or Patrick.Because o his speed, Schmidtransormed Patrick into a rarecrossover player that year. Pat-rick still would spend most ohis time on the deensive side inpractice, but would come to theoffensive side regularly to jointhe huddle as a receiver.“We recognized the gif that he

had and what he could bring to

our table as an offensive player,”Schmid said. “As a junior westarted using him that way, thenas a senior it was ull-time.”

The other side

Te transition, Schmid said,was relatively seamless.Patrick’s work on the offen-

sive end during his junior year,combined with his glisteningspeed, made the fit at receiverrather effortless. Still, though,Patrick had a ew pieces o hisgame to work on as he switchedto offense ull-time — namely

his hands, which have becomea building block o his game atKansas.Just as he did with his speed

afer he injured his oot, Patrickput hours into getting his handsup to par. He spent the springand summer months workingdiligently with the quarterbacksand running routes on his own.He spent time with the JUGSmachines and doing pass-catch-

ing drills beyond practice. Temore work he put in, the betterhis hands got.“I we had him at receiver rom

the beginning, there’s no tellinghow good those hands wouldhave been by the end o his se-nior year,” Schmid said. “Heunderstood the relationship be-tween hard work and success.”Tat year, Patrick played inside

and outside receiver and ledTe Woodlands with 39 catchesor 776 yards and seven touch-downs. He played extensivelyon special teams, just as he didthe two previous years, return-ing punts and kickoffs and wastabbed all-district.Later, success came in the orm

o interest rom a handul ocolleges and, eventually, an offerrom ormer Kansas receiverscoach and recruiting coordi-nator Rob Ianello. It was theonly FBS offer Patrick receivedoutside o Air Force, accordingto ESPN. Patrick chose Ianello,and opted to play under ormercoach Charlie Weis.“Some Saturdays, when we’re

not working, we’ve been ableto watch him a little bit on V,”

Schmid said. “We all ollow himas much as we can, and we seehim doing really well.”

Earned it

In his first season with Weis, just as his first season at TeWoodlands, Patrick was an a-terthought. Tough he was onscholarship, Patrick was red-shirted and played scout teamall the way through spring campin 2015. Even afer Weis wasfired in the middle o 2014, Pat-rick stayed at Kansas.Ten came Beaty, who changed

the entire mentality and normal-ities o Kansas ootball. “Earnit” became the motto, and withit came a new starting 11 everyweek. Here and there, Beatywould make small adjustmentsin the starting lineups — bothoffensive and deensive — basedon the effort and work put in atpractice. It was the perect envi-ronment or Patrick to thrive.Yet, Beaty didn’t take a long

look at Patrick through springcamp. Patrick was still just a spe-cial teamer or Kansas. With somany new aces and players onthe roster, Beaty struggled to getreps or all o them, and Patrickell to the wayside until he madean impact at the spring game,where he caught our passes or43 yards.“He just kept working,” Beaty

said at the end o September.“When he wasn’t playing, he wasstill covering kicks or us at thegunner position and, man, hewas out there showing up.”Injuries opened up reps, and

reps led to Patrick learning theoffense and creating a connec-tion with the quarterbacks,including junior quarterbackMontell Cozart, who started thebeginning o the year beore in-

juring his shoulder.“He’s quarterback riendly —

he makes the quarterback lookgood,” Cozart said. “When itcomes time in the game, I knowthat he's not going to shortenhis depth because o a deenderin ront o him, I know he's notgoing to take too many steps towhere I throw it short or some-

thing like that."Cozart added: “I know our

relationship and our chem-istry is going to be onpoint.”Afer clawing his way

into the regular widereceiver rotationcome summercamp, Patrick wasa regular withthe starters bythe time thes e a s o ncame.

Beaty’s system o practice-firstallowed the redshirt reshmanto earn more and more reps andeventually start or Kansas in thethird game o the season againstRutgers.“Troughout camp, he’s there

everyday working hard, work-ing on his routes, working onthe details o his game, and it’sreally helped him progress,”senior wide receiver re’ Par-

malee said. “He’s getting what hedeserves because he’s earned it.He’s a great player.”Patrick has started almost

every game since the gameagainst Rutgers. He scored hisfirst touchdown o his career onhomecoming weekend againstOklahoma and came tothe sideline scream-ing in excitement.Aferward Beatyn o t e dthat

he had steadily improved."We value production just like

the world does," Beaty said. "Weare going to go by what we see,not what people say outside oour room, but what we see outthere in terms o who is produc-ing."Afer starting 2015 as an afer-

thought, without Beaty’s atten-tion, Patrick has turned in 220yards and two touchdowns on

25 catches with two games to goand three more years at Kansasahead o him.“For him to be doing that at

Kansas, really doesn't surpriseme that he would approachcollege ootball the same way,”Schmid said. “Tat's how yler

has been.”
