Defense eager to tame Tigers BY TONY BOTTS Sports Editor The Bearcats and their green and white clad fans are breathing easier after Saturday’s bend-but-do-not break victory over the Ichabods. However, it is no longer Washburn week, but now Fort Hays week. With the Tigers coming to town, another lineup of festivities is set to kickoff: Homecoming. The alumni make their way back to town for the parade, the infamous Kegs and Eggs at the Outback and of course, the tradition of the Homecoming game. With this year’s Homecoming game looming just hours away, the ’Cats hope to claim their 10th Homecoming victory in their last 11 tries. The Tigers (3-5, 1-5 MIAA) are not flying under head coach Mel Tjeerdsma’s or his athletes’ radars, touting a pass heavy offensive attack that hopes to have the same success Washburn had recently. “You definitely don’t want to be deceived by their record,” Tjeerdsma said. “They started out 3-0, but they’ve played some good football in there, they took Central (Missouri) right to the wire, they were ahead of Pittsburg (State) 21-17 going into the fourth quarter and ended up giving up some big plays. “I think they’re very talented on offense,” Tjeerdsma said. “Their quarterback is one of the best in the league, he’s playing extremely well right now. They’ve got some talented receivers and a good running back. They’ll be a really (good) challenge for our defense. I think it’ll be good for us, because I think our defense didn’t feel like they played very well Saturday. They gave up a lot of yards, which is not typical of us. They’re really anxious to get back on the field.” While the Tigers can move the ball on offense, senior quarterback Blake Bolles See FOOTBALL on A5 SAC ENTERTAINMENT CHAIRMAN Jordan McCrady stops and speaks with a group of students Wednesday. SAC is employing new advertising methods, such as driving golf carts around campus, to get people talking about the organization.

SAC’s mobile advertising BY TREY WILLIAMS News Editor Laid eyes on those fancy schmanzy posters hung all around campus promoting Student Activities Council and the events they host? Does anyone still stop to read those in this day and age? Consumers want their information fast, they do not want to have to stop for it. They want it hurled their way, speeding past. They want to see it coming

straight for them, at about 15 miles per hour. SAC is changing the way it promotes events. Switching from the more traditional posters, flyers and word of mouth and moving more toward social media and golf carts. SAC has been and hopes to continue their new advertising ploy, riding around campus in a golf cart and using a megaphone to grab the attention of students, promote SAC and hopefully sell tickets.

The new promotion technique is the brainchild of senior Jordan McCrady, SAC entertainment chairman. “The traditional promotion, it’s effective, but only to some degree,” McCrady said. “A lot of the times (the traditional promotions) get overlooked, so I’m just trying to find different ways to draw more blatant attention to whatever it is we’re promoting.” See SAC on A5

Walkout day celebration Students make the most of a long standing tradition BY AMANDA CANNON Missourian Reporter At the sound of a bugle, more than two-thirds of the students left their seats to march outside, starting the first Walkout Day on Friday, October 22, 1915. President Richardson rushed from his house to confront the two hundred students, however they continued their march. A tradition started that has continued to the present time. The Eureakans and the

Philomatheans, two literary societies, met during one of their usual meetings to make plans for the walkout. These two societies were forced to meet with the president. They made the agreement that there could be future Walkout Days, only if the president was notified in advance. “I think the students just needed a break from school before the weather got cold, so they made a Walkout Day,” Cathy Palmer, archivist, at Northwest, said.

Walkout Day is an annual tradition in the fall where students would wear green and leave classes to participate in planned picnics. For freshmen there was a different meaning. It marked the end of hazing and wearing their beanies. On Walkout Day, the M-Club held “Kangaroo Court,” where they charged freshmen and even punished them by using a paddle. Freshmen were often dunked in Colden Pond on

New trimester comes quickly BY KEENAN ROBERTSON Missourian Reporter As the days continue to move on and the leaves fall off the trees, it is easy to notice that the semester has already reached its halfway point. With the conclusion of midterms, it becomes that time once more to begin registering for spring classes. In fact, the window for seniors with over 130 credit hours to register is already open. The availability for students to sign up is based on earned credit hours. Seniors with 90+ hours can register beginning Friday, juniors with 60+ Nov. 5, sophomores with 30+ Nov. 12, and freshmen with no earned hours Nov. 19. In order to register, students must set a meeting with their advisors in order to ob-

tain an alternate pin for CatPAWS, which is entered upon logging in on the registration date. Spots in classes can go fast, so it is recommended for students to have all of their information ready to go by midnight on their enrollment date. Some students find it hard to believe how fast the semester is flying by. “I’m prepared. I know what classes I want to take, but I still can’t believe it’s already here,” senior Taryn Hill said. “I know that if I want to get in easy classes with late starts then I will have to be ready to sign up at midnight.” Other students are prepared for registration and understand the importance of being ready to sign up immediately. “It’s a lot like eBay, you know,” junior Cole Higgin-

botham said. “You’re bidding for a seat in a class, sometimes one that you want to take and sometimes one that you need, and if there is only one seat left, those few seconds of not having to look for the class you want can be the difference between a seat and defeat.” Many freshman are uncertain about registering for the first time. “This is my first time, so I don’t really know what to expect,” freshman Taylor Wilhelm said. “I have come to terms with the fact that I will have early classes already, so it’s just a matter of picking which ones to take.” Whether prepared for next semester or not, the fact is that we all still have half of one to go, and need to focus on a strong conclusion to Fall semester.

Setting a new precedent

Haunted Campground

Missouri Supreme Court debates youth, adult status BY DAKOTA JONES Missourian Reporter

LORI FRANKENFIELD | photography editor

CAMPER MIKE STRIPLIN hands out candy to a trick-or-treater at the fourth annual Haunted Campground at Mozingo’s RV Campground. The roads to the campground were shut down so that families could enjoy a safe trick-or-treating experience.

School board ponders field BY LESLIE NELSON Missourian Reporter The Maryville Spoofhounds could possibly play on a renovated football field soon. The field just received a new press box, but the district is looking to add other renovations as well. Changes such as a turf field, a new irrigation system, new posts and possibly redoing the track around the field were suggested. After a regular evaluation by the maintenance department, those changes were proposed at a school board meeting Oct. 18. The district is also debating when it would

W

be possible to begin these renovations, if approved. The construction may interrupt the other teams at the high school that use the field. The renovations could also be slowed or halted during winter. The school board is currently only looking at prices and will continue debating whether a renovated field will benefit the school or not. At their last meeting the school board also debated drug testing Maryville High School’s students and conducting a search by a drug dog due to suspicions from the faculty and staff. The upcoming forensics tournament was discussed as well. MHS will host a debate and speech tournament Oct. 28 and 29.

A St. Louis teen faces life in prison with no chance of parole after being convicted of first degree murder. In August of 2007, Antonio Andrews and a friend were chased by a police officer, Norvelle Brown, who was patrolling an area in St. Louis, alone. The two were chased for several blocks before Andrews opened fire on Brown. The teen claimed he fired shots because he was “tired of running.” Two shots entered the officer’s chest and punctured his lungs. Andrews was incarcerated and convicted of first degree murder at the age

of 15. The nature of the case and the age of the criminal brought up many questions of the ethics involved with the sentencing. The case was passed to the Missouri Supreme Court. On Wednesday Oct. 21 the court began a trial that will seal one young man’s fate and has the power to change Missouri state law on sentencing juveniles in murder cases. “Children are simply not as culpable as adults,” Brocca Smith, Andrews’ attorney, said. “Therefore they cannot be treated the same under the law.” In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court barred the execution of convicts under the age of 18.

The court also forbade juveniles to be sentenced to life without parole except in murder cases. “It is not constitutional for Missouri to require a life sentence for juveniles, because it means other factors cannot be considered.” Smith said. Under Missouri law, juveniles are handled under special courts that focus on modifying and improving behavior. Under these special courts, they will not be treated like criminal cases. Even under these laws, children as young as 12 can be convicted of a felony and charged as an adult, depending on the circumstances of the case.

Providing safe treats BY DAKOTA JONES Missourian Reporter Halloween is a day of fun and make-believe for children. It is also a day that makes some parents wary of danger while their children are trick or treating. Maryville may have just the trick to eliminate some of this fear. Tonight 57 businesses in Maryville will participate in the 15 annual Downtown Trick or Treat event. This event was originally started by Kathryn Rice, owner of Movie Magic, as an attempt to introduce citizens of Maryville to local businesses. “It’s a lot of fun for everyone. I started it to show people how many places there are in the downtown area.” Rice said. “It grows bigger every year. Now it’s just a safe event for families.” The Elks Lodge 760 will serve hot dogs and other refreshments for kids throughout the event. The First Baptist Church Family Life Center will host a Slime Time from 5 to 8 p.m. The Slime Time will consist of treats for kids, a small maze and other family friendly activities. The

Humane Society, paired with the Animal Shelter, will be walking shelter dogs during the event to entertain the children and to promote adoptions. The trick or treating will be held at all of the participating businesses from 5 to 7 p.m. “We enjoy it just as much as the kids do.” Susie Nelson, manager of The Bookstop Coffee Shop, said. “We enjoy all of the kids and parents. We’ve been a part of it for five years and the childrenalwaysactappropriately. They are so thankful for what we can give them.” In years past, Rice has had up to 1,200 children stop by Movie Magic for candy. Last year was a slower year because of the weather, but she is hopeful for more families to come by this year. “It’s just a great way for businesses to communicate with and support the youth of Maryville.” senior Kelsey Clement, also an employee of Burny’s Sports Bar, said. “It’s a really fun event. It’s fun for us and the kids and a great chance to interact with the youth.”

INTRO

The new ‘new’ The public grumbles, vocally irritated by the current administration’s policies. Election day approaches. Power shifts are calculated and predicted as an increased number of voters for the opposing party energizes and galvanizes swing voters. If you are wondering whether the above scene describes fall 2008 or 2010, you get the point. Obama’s strategies that seemed progressive and refreshing seem forced and foreign two years later. As Americans try to swallow policies that we may not have been ready for, a sense of resentment swells. And the pendulum swings back again. Suddenly, the right side of the aisle is looking better than ever. A newly released Gallup poll found that only 37 percent of democrat voters are more enthusiastic about voting than usual, opposed to 63 percent of their republican counterparts. Even Carnahan has a bold tab headline on her website: Republicans for Robin. Finally, reaching across the aisle is convenient enough to be practiced as it has been preached. This quick change shows that Americans are either liberally free thinkers, making conscience evaluations as each new issue presents itself, or are all riding on the biggest bandwagon of all time. Vote confidently, but pick up a history textbook if you think the new administration will stick around. Let our elected officials know that their party affiliation offers no guarantee of re-election.

On Tuesday, voters will partake in the Missouri general elections. During these elections, there will be six propositions that pass or fail. The full-text documents are often a bit intimidating to read, therefore it may be more helpful to read the summaries below before you vote on these issues. Senate Joint Resolution No. 5: This bill strikes Section 18(b), article VI, Constitution of Missouri, and replaces it with proposed section 18(b), which will read the same except for one key point. This bill states that any charter county must have an elected assessor of the county, except for charter counties with populations greater than 600,000 and less than 700,000. A charter county is a county that has a formal written document which outlines the power, privileges and duties of the county. House Joint Resolution No. 15: This amendment will repeal section 6 of article X of the Constitution of Missouri, and replace it with a new section 6 which makes the following change: Any real property used as a homestead by a former prisoner of war who has a total service-connected disability will be exempt from taxation.

Constitutional Amendment to Article X, Relating to Real Estate Taxation, version 3: This bill will add a new section—Article X, Section 25—and state: After the imposition of this section, state, county and other political subdivisions may not impose a new tax of any kind on the sale or transfer of homes or any other real estate. Statutory Amendment to Chapter 92, Relating to Earnings Taxes 2010-077, Version 3: This bill “will amend Missouri law to repeal the authority of certain cities to use earnings taxes to fund their budgets. The amendment further requires voters in cities that currently have an earnings tax, St. Louis and Kansas City, to approve continuation of such tax at the next general municipal election and at an election held every five years or to phase out the tax over a period of ten years.” Statutory Amendment to Chapter 273, Relating to Dog Breeders 2010-085, Version 1: This bill will add a section to Chapter 273, called 273.345. This section can be known as the “Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act.” This bill gives detailed regulations for dog breeding facilities only, and does not pertain to other livestock.

SAC: Raising awareness on the road Continued from A1 The new idea may seem a bit unorthodox to some, but that is just what McCrady wants, to get people talking about SAC. “Driving around in a golf cart and shouting through a megaphone, people tend to notice that more,” McCrady said. The idea planted itself in McCrady’s mind over the summer during SAC’s summer retreat, according to SAC Advisor Candice Wolf. She said that during their retreat they talked about different ways to get their name out there, since flyers and posters

do not really work. “We are always looking for new ideas and welcome different ways of promoting,” Wolf said. “The golf cart with the megaphone was Jordan’s idea and he just ran away with it.” McCrady’s sole purpose was to do something that would catch people’s eye and make them want to ask, “what’s going on? What’s this for?” And even though this new technique only started Monday, chatter is beginning to build. “I know personally I will (keep doing this),” McCrady said. “I think it’s fun and different, and you can do a lot with it. I mean I was just giving

people rides, but you could modify it to be more specific to whatever it is you’re promoting.” McCrady said there are still some kinks that need to be worked out just to help it go a little smoother. Even with it still being a new experiment, other organizations are already adopting the idea. The B.R.I.D.G.E.’s are using the idea to promote their annual Amazing Race. “ Ye a h , I s a w ( t h e B.R.I.D.G.E’s) doing it Monday,” McCrady said. “That’s cool to see that other people are wanting to use that idea . Maybe we can just make it the new way to promote.”

COURT: Jury decides Andrew case Continued from A3 “Nearly every state has lifetime prison sentences. The U.S. Supreme Court specifically permitted life sentences for juveniles in murder cases.” Missouri Assistant Attorney General Evan Buchheim said. “There is little difference whether the punishment is selected or required by state law.” It is usually the Judge’s Where can I advertise for my dinner?

decision as to whether the status quo is changed. In this particular case, Smith argued that the decision should be made by a jury because the outcome of the trial directly affects the possible punishment of a young individual. She further argues that a sentence of life without for parole is cruel and unusual punishment especially for a child. The court has released

briefs from the trial. The jury has to deliberate on the best outcome for the unusual circumstance of this case. “The court now must consider both sides.” Communication Counsel Beth Riggert said. “No one can predict on how or why the court might rule. Due to the intricacy of both sides of the issue, it is impossible to hypothesize what the court may rule.”

WALKOUT: Tales of traditional rebellion Continued from A2 Walkout Day. In 1943, a dance replaced Walkout Day in honor of the Navy men who could not walk out on World War II. In 1971, Walkout Day was eliminated because students were no longer participating in the traditional celebrations. Instead, students headed for Kansas City, where bars could legally serve alcohol to 18-year-olds. Starting in 1977, Walkout Day was placed before Homecoming. It was no longer meant for bonfires and picnics. “The idea to move Walkout Day to before Homecoming was to give the students time to prepare for the parade,” Palmer said.

Students really enjoy their day with no classes. Walkout Day is often used to start the celebration of homecoming early. “Thursday is my 21st birthday, so with no classes Friday, I will be celebrating without feeling guilty,” junior Marci Luke said. While some students start their celebration Thursday, others wait until Friday night. “I will be working Friday with no classes, then start celebrating Homecoming weekend,” junior Emily Graham said. Walkout day has become a known tradition at Northwest that is not shared by other colleges. The ritual was finally set in stone on the day before homecoming and this week is greatly anticipated.

FOOTBALL: Tigers present challenge Continued from A1 and the ’Cats’ offense are also no strangers to finding the end zone this season, averaging 40 points per game. Fort Hays presents a challenge in the No. 3 total defensive unit in the conference, allowing 351 yards a game to its opponents. The Northwest offense enters the game with an average of

437 yards a game. Following the weekend’s game, the Don Black Award will be handed out to the Most Valuable Player of the game. A year ago, Bolles claimed the award, throwing for 367 yards and added a passing and rushing touchdown to his performance. The game kicks off at 2 p.m. at Bearcat Stadium.

Top picks: Harry, Captain Sparrow and Weezy BY KERI PETERSON Missourian Reporter

3/5 Paws

Release Date- October 18 Label- RCA, Sony, Columbia Previous AlbumsYouth and Young Manhood (2003) Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004)

Because of the Times (2007) Only by the Night (2008)

Kings of Leon hit, miss with fifth studio album BY BEN LAWSON Missourian Reporter Kings of Leon is back with their stylistic southern grunge for their fifth studio album, Come Around Sundown, but these Tennessee natives cannot quite live up to past releases. Kings of Leon has been releasing albums since 2002, but did not receive commercial success in the United States until 2008’s Only by the Night. The band has always had a level of success in the United Kingdom with nine number one singles on UK charts. Only by the Night gave Kings of Leon three number one singles on the charts in the US. Come Around Sundown sounds just like Kings of Leon should. The band uses alternative rock and mixes it with southern and blues sounds accompanied by Caleb Followill’s identifiable, rough, howling vocals. The band’s sound is as unique and skilled as ever, but Come Around Sundown just comes out as background noise. Kings of Leon demanded the attention of listeners with past songs like “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody,” but their most recent release just does not live up to its predecessor. The album reaches its high point early with its first two tracks, “The End” and “Radioactive.” Those two songs represent the epic sound of Kings of Leon fans are used to. But after those songs the album kind of flat lines. The rest of the album is far from bad but equally far from great. Kings of Leon consists of brothers Caleb Followill, Nathan Followill and Jared Followill with their cousin Matthew Followill. They named themselves in respect of their grandfather Leon Followill. Over their 8-year-long career Kings of Leon has grown into an epic arena rock, band but Come Around Sundown is far from epic. Hopefully for their next release, the Followill boys will step up their game and be the rock titans fans know they can be.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” Fans are pumped for the release of the first half of the last movie in the series, which will be in theaters nation-wide Nov. 19. For those unfamiliar with the series, J.K. Rowling uses the first half of the seventh book to work up toward the final battle that fulfills the prophecy, “Neither can live while the other survives.” While the first part of the movie will not reveal whether Potter or Voldemort triumph, other lives will be lost. It is a part of the story that simply cannot be missed. New Michael Jackson Al-

bum Jackson fans can still look forward to enjoying his work, because next month an album is due to be released containing never before heard, but previously recorded, songs from the King of Pop. The new album will contain 10 unreleased tracks and will hit shelves sometime in November, according to Rolling Stone. The Michael Jackson estate made a deal with Sony Music Entertainment, and sources say that there is enough material left to make at least three more albums. “Lie to Me” Season Two Due to be released on DVD Nov. 9, this television drama is a top pick among viewers. Starring Tim Roth, who plays de-

THE STROLLER

Darn kids with their cellular telephones No one ever expects the ephemeral trudge to class will include danger or even death. Thanks a lot, cell phones. Statistical evidence shows that the number of distraction-related walking collisions grows higher and higher each year. As voters swarm the ballots Tuesday, a key proposition is missing: A ban on texting while walking. A terrifying 356 percent of all student-to-student sidewalk collisions this semester alone have come from texting. That’s 356 percent too much. Northwest cannot risk any more student-tostudent sidewalk collisions. Until the ban is passed, the following implementations need to be considered by the Northwest Leadership Team: Sidewalk cameras to record and report texters who arrogantly take their lives and the lives of their fellow students into their own hands as they mindlessly text or tweet the day’s happenings. “OMG

Papa Johns gave me a food baby lol-” BAM and you’re both lying on the ground, another teen statistic of texting while walking. Did you see the camera? Because we see you, lawbreaker. Undercover University Police officers to represent the long arm of the law around campus sidewalks and in the hallways of academic buildings. Nothing says “justice served” like a little bit of nightstick action. One word: fines. Next time you whip out that Blackberry, better grab your wallet too. I like the idea of $5 for every text, with an extra $3.50 for each colon parenthesis smile, $6.75 for each lol and at least $19.25 for each Justin Bieber reference. You, too, can stop the slaughter. Write to your congressman today. Remember: stop the thumb, stop the bedlam. It rhymes, okay? The Stroller has been a tradition since 1918 and does not reflect the views of The Northwest Missourian.

ception expert Cal Lightman, this suspense filled season is a must have. Season two marks the highly anticipated unification of Agent Ben Reynolds, played by Mekhi Phifer, and the Lightman Group who seek out liars and serve justice. “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Many were wondering if Walt Disney Pictures would add to the trilogy, and they did with a fourth movie coming out May 20, 2011. This time, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, goes on a quest for the fountain of youth, and of course runs into comedic troubles along the way. Joined again by Captain Barbossa, played by Geoffery Rush, these two pirates run into their big-

gest obstacle when they find out that Blackbeard, played by Ian McShane, is after the ultimate treasure as well. Lee DeWyze “Live It Up” The winner of American Idol’s Season 9 is releasing his major-label debut album Nov. 16. This self-taught singer, songwriter and guitarist said, “Putting out an album on a major label is truly a dream come true.” This album is “an engaging blend of rootsy pop, rock and folk,” and is accompanied by DeWyze’s skillful playing of his acoustic guitar. Remembering how he amazed millions of fans with his talent this year, one can only smile and add “Live It Up” to their Christmas list this year.

What’s What’s

HOT NOT Brett Favre

Gaming Season

With releases like Halo: Reach last month, Fable 3 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 out today and Call of Duty: Black Ops out next month, fall should be officially declared gaming season.

Tina Knowles Beyoncé’s mother stood up for her on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, announcing that the rumors of her daughter’s pregnancy are simply not true.

Bearcat Football Northwest squeezed past Washburn Saturday with another win.

This NFL superstar is under investigation for a sexting scandal. Favre allegedly sent inappropriate pictures to the phone of a former NY Jets stadium reporter.

Bieber Punks Justin Beiber is set to host a revamped version of the MTV show Punk’d. Maybe fans won’t think he is so cute and sweet when he is pulling pranks on unsuspecting celebrities.

Axl Rose This Guns N’ Roses singer is accused of destroying a $192,000 Bentley that he has yet to pay for.

District Title locked up, again

Young squad falls in district semis

Holt, Grudzinski head to Cameron in week 10 BY TONY BOTTS Sports Editor The Spoofhounds can mark off another preseason goal after the bout with St. Pius X, Friday: win the District Title. With the District Title essentially wrapped up due to district standings and tie breakers, the ’Hounds view the Cameron game tonight as an opportunity to clean things up, with the Regional round of the playoffs looming next week. “We were not as sharp as we wanted to be in the second half last week,” head coach Chris Holt said. “Basically, (we) have to try and fix Maryville the best that we can and get out of (Cameron) injury free.”

Even after a 35-0 shutout over an improving Pius X squad, Holt said the team shows little emotion stemming from their compiling accomplishments. “Our kids have been through this and they know how we approach (the playoffs),” Holt said. “It’s business-like, we don’t hoo and hah and rah and rah. Our kids have aspirations to make another run. If they are (thinking about playoffs) they keep it inside, we don’t talk about it openly.” Senior quarterback Marcus Grudzinski led the steamrolling offense, tossing two touchdowns and punching his way into the end zone from the 1-yard line for his third score. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 152

yards, while his backup, sophomore Jonathan Baker, was 4-6 passing and added 86 yards to the team’s 235 total passing yards. The rushing attack combined for 189 yards on the ground, led by senior running back Gavin Talmadge. He rushed for 68 yards and added a touchdown in the second quarter via

a two-yard run into the end zone. The defense left their mark on the game, allowing Pius X to squeak out 78 yards of total offense and forcing four turnovers on two interceptions and two fumbles. The ’Hounds will kick off the final district game at 7 p.m. tonight in Cameron.

CHIEFS 2.0: Overrated flash replaced with effeciency Continued from A14 three interceptions and has yet to lose a fumble. In addition, he has been sacked just five times, which is the least amount of times sacked by any regular starting quarterback in the league this year.

Fans are merely pessimistic because our quarterback’s name isn’t “Peyton”, “Drew”, “Aaron” or “Tom.” Cassel is a game manager not a game changer, which does not warrant him being termed as a problem by some. It can be argued that

the Chiefs are not getting enough turnovers, but the more important statistic, turnover margin, ranks the chiefs in the upper third of the league at +4. If there has been a staple statistic in the NFL, it is that winning teams take away more than they give away. A solid de-

fense and clean football are two of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of an NFL team. Truth be told, the schedule makers were kind to the Chiefs. Fans have been begging for a Chiefs team that shows competitiveness on

OF THE

The No. 2 seeded Spoofhound volleyball team could not make it out of its Class 3 District 16 bracket, falling 2-1 to Chillicothe on Tuesday night to end its season. The Hornets got revenge for its two losses to Maryville earlier this season. “It didn’t go so well,” head coach Lori Klaus said. “We played Chilli twice and I don’t know if they just thought they could go out there and win or I don’t know. I don’t think we played terrible. I think we mentally weren’t there.” Just like in the last meeting, it would come down to a decisive third game, only this time the ’Hounds’ inexperience caught up with it. “I only have one girl that’s ever played in a district game before and Districts is just totally different,” Klaus said. “It’s a totally different mindset and being a young team, I just don’t think we were prepared for what Districts is.” The Hornets’ hitters led the way in a 25-14 match win where the final eight points went to Chillicothe. Maryville finishes the season 23-6-2 in what was expected to be a rebuilding year after losing 11 seniors last year. “I think that we had a successful season, especially after we lost all of those seniors last year,” Klaus said. “We’ve heard over and over, ‘oh, Maryville won’t be any good, they lost all of those girls.’ I think these girls stepped up and proved them wrong.” This year, Maryville loses only two seniors, setter Rachel Tobin and outside hitter Kara Dueker, giving the ’Hounds an experienced roster for next season. “We can only get better,” Kalus said. “It’s hard to lose those seniors, but I had a sophomore setter on JV who stayed and practiced with us through Districts. I think she’ll be able to step into that role and do a good job.

Bundrant’s goals claw team back BY BRYCE MERENESS Missourian Reporter With the end of the soccer season looming, the Bearcat soccer team refuses to quit. In a tightly contested game with Emporia State, the ’Cats struck first just into the second minute. Freshman midfielder Anna Calgaard picked off a clearing pass then dribbled past a defender and drilled the ball past the Hornet’s freshman goalkeeper Natalie Hoernig. After the goal, Emporia struck back with two quick goals of their own. Senior forward Lauren Cathey put one into the net in the eighth minute after it deflected off a defender. Sophomore midfielder Ashley Hill then gave the Hornets the lead in the 16th minute. “I just think we were lackadaisical in the back, and we let them come down the middle,”

head coach Tracy Hoza said. “We’ve got to stop them coming down the middle, we’ve got to slow them down, get in front of them and force them out wide. I think we need to do a better job in defending in that way.” Freshman goalkeeper Kelsey Adams then returned to action for the first time since suffering an injury against Nebraska-Omaha in the 25th minute.

RINEHART: New coach brings familiar face Continued from A14 According to Angie Spangenberg, Rinehart’s high school coach and Paige Spangenberg’s mother, Rinehart was the type of player she loved to coach. “Jess was our outside hitter,” Angie Spangenberg said. “She played with a lot of emotion but she was also a smart player. She knows the game really well and it was a lot of fun coaching her. I developed a special bond with Jess. She was a part of

the first team to make it to the state tournament, she babysat Paige when Paige was little, and her senior year was the year the team started the tradition of TP’ing my house.” Senior Paige Spangenberg was thrilled when she found out her old babysitter would become her new head coach. “I was so excited,” Spangenberg said. “I know how much she loves the game and how much she knows about it, which is awesome for our

program.” November 3 is a home match against NebraskaOmaha, but this is not a typical home stand for the ’Cats: the game will be played at Red Oak High School. “I was back working a camp at Red Oak High School this summer,” Rinehart said. “I went in it to talk to the athletic director, who’s my former volleyball coach and Paige’s mom, Angie Spangenberg and she said, ‘it would be cool to bring a match to Red Oak this year.’ “

The UNO game also bringing things full circle for Paige Spangenberg. “I thought it was the coolest thing,” Paige Spangenberg said. “I had already played my supposed last game there, which was a big deal. Now, I have one more chance to play in my home gym, which I’m really excited about.” The match begins at 7 p.m., Nov. 3, at Red Oak High School. The event is also collecting proceeds which go to volleyball’s general funds.

SENIOR MIDDLE HITTER Amber Ryan slams the ball in a match against Central Missouri earlier this year. The ‘Cats split matches this weekend, defeating Fort Hays State in straight sets on Friday, and losing to Emporia State in straight sets on Saturday.

Swept off their feet Volleyball struggles on road after upset BY KYLE HENDRICKS Missourian Reporter After their impressive victory over No. 2 Washburn in the “Pink Out” game, the Bearcat volleyball team hit the road for two games in Kansas this past weekend. The ’Cats traveled to Hays, Kan. on Friday to take on Fort Hays State (7-16, 0-11 MIAA). The hot play of the ’Cats continued as the ’Cats swept the Tigers 3-0. “Every time we step out on the court our goal is to get better,” head coach Jessica Rinehart said. “We need to continue to improve as a team to stay at the high level of volleyball consistently.” Sophomore Laira Akin credits extra rest as a key to the victory. “We left Thursday night and only spent three hours on the bus,” Akin said. “I think that was key, instead of spend-

ing seven hours on the bus, we were able to rest up and come out ready to play. “ On Saturday, the ’Cats traveled to Emporia, Kan. to take on the No. 12 Emporia State Hornets. After the upset victory over Washburn, the ’Cats entered Saturday’s match with high expectations, but were swept 3-0 by the Hornets. On Tuesday, the ’Cats traveled to Kansas City for a non-conference match against Rockhurst University. The ’Cats were swept 3-0 for the second straight match. The loss dropped the ’Cats’ record to 11-11 overall and 7-6 in the MIAA. This weekend, the ’Cats have two home matches. On Friday night they take on Pittsburg State at 7 p.m. in Bearcat Arena. On Saturday, the ’Cats take on Southwest Baptist at 5:30 p.m. in Bearcat Arena.

Homecoming Freshman golfer comes out swinging Fort Hays

BY BRYCE MERENESS Missourian Reporter Coming into a new situation and thriving is a difficult thing to do, but freshman golfer Cassie Lowell did just that. Lowell tied the Northwest golf program record of 83 strokes in her first collegiate round of golf. Uncontent she then went out and smashed the record the next day shooting a 73.

“

Lowell has proven to be mentally tough, fighting through the many grinds of being a freshman. Many factors conCassie Lowell tribute to Lowell’s success, but head golf coach Pat McLaughlin attributes it to

her work ethic. “Cassie is the type of individual where she is very hard working her work ethic is incredible,” McLaughlin said. “She will do what it takes to improve. She’s never really satisfied, regardless of the scores that she has. She’s never really satisfied that she couldn’t do better. When you have a student athelete like that, I would have nothing but expectations of continued improvement, not

just every year but every season. She’ll be even better in the spring than she was in the fall.” Lowell, a four time state medalist at Concordia High School in Concordia, Kan., was the top finisher of a team that was runner-up each of her four years. Lowell’s goal is to continue to improve throughout her career. “There is always something to fix,” Lowell said smiling.

VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH Jessica Rinehart pumps up her squad during a timeout against Central Missouri earlier this season.

Rinehart brings winning attitude to Bearcat volleyball BY KYLE HENDRICKS Missourian Reporter There is a different atmosphere surrounding the Northwest volleyball team this year. Players and fans accustomed to hearing past coaches yell and express their opinion from the bench no longer hear those shouts. The team, which has not had a winning season since 2000, finds itself with a record of 11-11 with seven games to play. They have already knocked off Washburn, then the No. 2 team in the country. Players can see the program starting to move in the right direction and they attribute most of that to the new head coach. Head coach Jessica Rinehart, a native of Red Oak, Iowa, has a history of winning and turning historically mediocre pro-

grams into contenders in her seven years as a head coach. Rinehart began playing volleyball in seventh grade but she did not expect to do much with it. “I thought I would play college basketball,” Rinehart said. “Basketball was kind of the sport I pursued the most at a younger age and then we got into high school and had a great coach, which was Paige’s mom and she got us going in the right direction as a team, which was what built my love and interest in volleyball.” Rinehart began her winning ways in high school, as part of the state qualifying team that beat one of the top teams in Iowa at the state tournament. She then became a three-year starting outside hitter at Hillsdale College in Michigan before becoming a graduate assistant at Central

Michigan. Rinehart’s first coaching job came in 2003 at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, where she led the team to back-toback 20-win seasons for the first time in program history. In 2005 she took the head coaching job at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minn. and inherited a program that had finished 12th in the conference the year before. In 2009 Augsburg finished fourth in the conference and Rinehart was offered the job at Northwest. “This year has been absolutely awesome and I think our record is reflecting that,” Rinehart said. “The girls couldn’t have been more receptive, they’ve just been great and it’s allowed for us to move forward… I got lucky, I got a good group that chose to buy in right away.”

Chiefs 2.0 gives new life to sleeping football giant Since their opening win on Monday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs have been the talk of the town. Notice, when I said talk I didn’t clarify whether the talk was good or bad. Clearly, there has been a fairly pessimistic view of this team by many in Maryville. The most popular of all disrespect directed toward quarterback Matt Cassel. If it wasn’t Matt Cassel, it was head coach Todd Haley, with his “foolish” gambles and poor clock management. If it wasn’t head coach Todd Haley, it was the fact that apparently our schedule was so awful any team

could have beat the teams that we have wins against. The bottom line when all the dust settles is that these Chiefs are 4-2, first place in the AFC west and are continuing to win in an untraPat Solomon ditional, yet potent and successful, fashion. This team, which has been an utter disappointment since 2003, has resurrected from the dark

depths of the National Football League dungeon and is showing new life. It is all too common that fans love to win with flash, which for the most part the Chiefs are not doing. Fans want the quarterback that puts up big numbers, makes the game winning drive and appears in commercials or on Saturday Night Live. Fans want the flashy running back who appears weekly on Sportscenter’s Top 10, pulling off some long run or a Madden-like juke on a hapless defender. Fans want the diva wide receiver that invigorates

the crowd with celebration and makes NFL Live analysts like Keyshawn Johnson show a whole segment on them. Apparently, because the Chiefs do not have “that” quarterback, “that” running back or “that” wide receiver that automatically makes them a pretender. What fans need to realize is that there are other ways to win a NFL game. Let’s recognize what the chiefs do have: They have the second ranked rushing attack in the league led by not one, but two running backs that resemble the thunder and lightning that Ron Dayne and Tiki Barber

once showed off with the Giants a decade ago. Their names are Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles. Combined, the Chiefs’ rushing attack has produced 1,056 total yards and ranks first in the league in average rushing yards per game at 176.5. We have a quarterback that knows how to get the job done and executes what is asked of him. Matt Cassel has not been winning games for the Chiefs, but we can make no mistake that he has not been losing them either. On the year, Cassel has only thrown a total of See Chiefs 2.0 on A13
