40 for Freshmen Advice from students past and present

Peyton Little Staff Reporter

Abby Cage Kansas head coach Lance Leipold is looking for improvement in his second season with the Jayhawks.

Kansas looking for small improvements in 2022 Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter Over the next few weeks, The O’Colly will be releasing its Big 12 preseason rankings in the form of team previews.

This week, picked to finish in 10th place in the conference by our writers are the Kansas Jayhawks.

2021 record: 2-10 (1-8 Big 12) The Kansas Jayhawks were never the same after playing Oklahoma State last season.

That’s a good thing for KU fans.

The Cowboys embarrassed the Jayhawks on homecoming with a 55-3 beatdown that sent weary OSU fans streaming to the exits at halftime. OSU held a 38-point lead at the break and put in third-string quarterback Ethan Bullock to take the final snaps of the game.

It was the same Kansas as ever, the Kansas that has finished last in the conference seven straight

seasons.

The 2022 Jayhawks will not be the same team that got throttled in Stillwater last year.

After the OSU game, KU coach Lance Leipold turned his offense over to dual threat quarterback Jalon Daniels. It paid off.

Daniels started the final three games of the season. Each of the games were decided by one score and KU’s overtime win against Texas was the it’s first Big 12 win since 2019.

Nine offensive starters return for KU, including sophomore running back Devin Neal. Neal was the eighth leading rusher in the Big 12 last season averaging 4.5 yards a carry. Combined with Daniels rushing ability, the ground game will be the strength of the Jayhawk offense. “(Neal) understands, he embraces that culture of competition as much as anybody, and he knows that maybe last year he burst on the scene a little bit,” Leipold said. “He won’t have that luxury this year. But again, he’s one of those guys that’s going to prepare and take his game to the next level.”

The Jayhawk defense will improve this season, but that’s not as complimentary a statement as it may seem.

The Jayhawks tied U Mass for last in the FBS allowing 44.7 points aper game and KU was No. 126 out of 130 teams in total defense last season, allowing 486.8 yards per game.

Leipold lost ten games last season, as many as his three previous seasons at Buffalo combined. The Jayhawks were picked last in the Big 12 preseason poll again, but Leipold isn’t looking at the standings to judge improvement.

“We understand and we emphasize, as well, we’re not in the moral victory business, and we understand that completely,” Leipold said. “But we’re always looking at, whether it be individual improvement in certain things…whether it be weight room or academically and better leadership, better teammates, that these things are going to stack upon themselves and help us on game day.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

High school to college is a large jump to make, and it can often be overwhelming for many people. Thankfully, there have been many people that have made this jump successfully that have shared their knowledge with The O’Colly. Here are 40 pieces of advice to the incoming class of 2026.

“Go to office hours and get to know your professors. Building relationships and networking makes a huge difference in the long run.”- Jack Beadles, junior in entrepreneurship and management.

“Do not say no to any opportunity that could bring you new friends. If you get invited to an event, especially during welcome week, take the risk and go.”Tara Mason, sophomore in applied exercise science.

“Realize that the amount of accountability you had in high school for doing the right thing, making good choices, going to class, doing homework, etc. is now much different. Analyze your own strengths and weaknesses and don’t be afraid to ask for help.”- Virginia Coonce, sophomore in human development and family sciences: child and family services.

“Don’t worry about making friends. Every single person is in the same boat as you. Everyone wants friends just as badly as you do. Put yourself out there, and I promise, it will all work

out.”- Landry Ehmer, sophomore in nutritional sciences allied health.

“Make sure to park where you are supposed to. If not, they’ll find you and give you a ticket, or worse, the boot.”- Oklahoma State alumnus.

“Always take any free things you can get.

Even if you don’t think you’ll use it, you will.”Trinity McMahon, junior in biology and zoology pre vet.

“It’s okay to feel a little lost in your first semester. You’ll eventually get your footing.”Haley Velez, sophomore in marketing.

“Study every day.”- Aaron Maloney, sophomore in mechanical engineering.

“Have your values clearly articulated in your head before you go to college. Thinking about what your limits are in terms of drinking, drug use, sex, academic cheating, etc. is better than going with the flow.

You don’t want to wake up one morning wondering how you got to this point or having to face the life-changing consequences of a bad decision”- Oklahoma State alumna.

“You don’t have to rush to have friends. If you hate the sorority you rush, just drop. You’ll be much happier.”- Lily Chavez, sophomore in political science and global studies.

“Find a good church home.”- Jenna Curry, second year junior in communication sciences and disorders.

“Tide Pods (or generic pod detergent) are the best detergent for doing laundry”- Tyler Brandes, junior in marketing.

“Ask for help. Go to the 321 student union freshman success center.

Utilize the resources

on campus.”- Mariah Martin, sophomore in English.

“Don’t cut off your social life. Do what needs to be done with school and then have fun with friends. Social interaction will get you through.”- Hunter Muncrief, senior in aviation management and aviation security.

“Wear flip flops in dorm showers”- Oklahoma State alumnus.

“Find a good Bible study group to stay grounded while there.

Enjoy the orange life from a Christian perspective.”- Oklahoma State alumna.

“For move in, keep it simple. You accumulate things throughout the year and don’t need to buy every little thing before moving in.”- Anixza Resendiz, sophomore in environmental science.

“Don’t eat at Linguetti’s.”- Maddie Hawley, sophomore in accounting and sports management.

“Don’t overwork yourselves. If you think it’ll be too much, it definitely will be.”- John Muths, sophomore in electrical engineering.

“Know your capacity and learn when to say no. Do not overwhelm yourself with activities.”Reem Mansy, senior in architecture.

“Be prepared to say no. There are so many things to do, but you have to choose what you want to do.”- Rosie Perez, grad student in applied exercise science.

The Chromatica Ball Lady Gaga embarks on summer stadium tour stages later in the summer through September.

Though Gaga is only hitting 11 American cities, the pop icon has secured stadiums such as Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston.

Teyte Holcomb Though the theme of this tour News Editor is largely based on Gaga’s sixth studio album “Chromatica,” the Monsters be ready, besetlist features songs from all cause the head-turning legend different album eras. has returned to the stage.

The Chromatica Ball, Lady Gaga announced which was delayed for two earlier this year a summer sta- years due to the pandemic, is dium tour titled “The Chromat- Gaga’s first since 2018, and has ica Ball.” Currently in Europe, sold more seats than any of her Gaga is set to hit American past tours. Being a Lady Gaga

tour, the setlist is crammed with over-the-top interlude performances and personalized couture outfits, including a headdress and latex bodysuit combo.

In a video posted to Instagram earlier this month, Gaga shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the show.

“The stage was inspired by brutalist architecture, materials, textures, crudity, transparency,” she said. “I wanted to tell a story with abstraction and art, so the show celebrates things that I have always loved like art and fashion and dance

and music and technology, poetry, and the way all of those things work together.”

While this tour represents a new era for Lady Gaga, the show can’t help but nod to past performances. Bold outfit choices and synchronized choreography pay homage to past performances, most notably her 2009 VMA performance of “Paparazzi.”

Fans have taken to social media to show comparisons of “The Chromatica Ball” to past tours, which were largely techno/dance pop raves. This has some fans in shock, as

Gaga’s fifth studio album titled “Joanne” took a more old-country focused route.

Whether you preferred Gaga’s take on old country or her smash dance-pop hits, “The Chromatica Ball” encompasses everything about Gaga’s sixth studio album and combines a mix of past-album nostalgia while still bringing a fresh feel to new songs.

Three rule additions and clarifications discussed at media days to know

Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter

Mackenzie Janish The Big 12 implemented three new rules for the upcoming football season.

Greg Burks, Big 12 coordinator of officials, did a lot of arm motions.

Leading off the second day of Big 12 Media Days, Burks spoke about several rule changes and clarified some points of confusion. Here are the three biggest takeaways from the address.

Feigning injury: The first arm motion Burks did was hinge his arms at the elbows and drop them, like an NBA referee signaling a flop.

“I think we’ve all seen it in a game where players look to the sideline and see a coach maybe do this and suddenly four players go down,” Burks said.

Burks was getting after one of the most controversial tactics defenses employ. Feigning injury gives defenses a respite from breakneck offensive tempo. The move draws the ire of opposing fans because officials are powerless to call feigning defensive players out, even if the acting is poor.

“I want to be clear that to the officials the instructions are we always treat every player as if they’re injured,” Burks

said. “We make no judgments as to whether or not the player is injured.

And we leave it to the coaches.”

Burks said officials still view feigning injury as unsportsmanlike and this season the national coordinator will field complaints if the problem abounds.

“The hope is, is that in discussing this, this problem will go away,” Burks said. “It’s just a bad look for the game and we hope that we can eliminate it.”

Horns Down: Burks flashed the “Horns down” hand signal.

All for the sake of example, of course.

“Let me be very clear on horns down,” Burks said. “I have no ownership on this symbol, this symbol is the same as all other signals. It’s when you do it, who you do it to and which manner you do it in.”

It seemed like Burks, and Big 12 officials everywhere, received backlash from last season’s controversial penalization of the gesture. The focal point of the outcry seemed to be centered across the red river.

“Please, state of Oklahoma, I meant no offense, you don’t have to send me emails, we are just looking at that as any other act and you note that unsportsmanlike conduct is already in there,” Burks said. “It

is not about horns up or horns down, it’s the manner that you do anything on the field.”

Fake Slides: Burks did not give an example of a fake slide on stage, which would have been cool. Instead, he referenced former Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett’s famous fake slide in the ACC Championship game against Wake Forest.

Burks said the Big 12 added a rule dictating if a player starts a slide or fakes a slide the play is dead, and the ball spotted at where the action began.

“The rules are such now with targeting that you have to pull up on a sliding quarterback,” Burks said.

Whether a player fakes a slide or not is not reviewable under the new rule, but there is an option to review the spot of where a fake slide began.

Advertising Executives Needed WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH? There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.”

The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed.

(Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)

Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.”

We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.
