undled up against the weather and carrying signs, flags and megaphones, over 350 members of the Lawrence community marched down Massachusetts Street on Saturday night to protest the election of Donald Trump as presi-

dent of the United States. The gathering was organized by several students at Lawrence High School. Viveca Price, a junior at LHS and one of the organizers, said the march was an effort to stand up for human rights, which she said are threatened by a Trump presidency. “We should be celebrat-

ing human rights at this point, but we’re not at that point, we have to go out and protest, we have to demand rights,” Price said. “It’s hard to see it, but at the same time it gives me hope that we have this many people that are in support of what’s going on, they’re against the hate that’s being spread, they’re against discrimination, it’s

We should be celebrating human rights at this point, but we’re not at that point.” Viveca Price Organizer

good to see that but it’s sad. We shouldn’t have to be doing this still.” Participants began gathering in South Park at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday night and had grown to a large crowd by 7:30 p.m. Hundreds held signs with phrases like “Bridges not walls,” “Stop the hate,” “Love conquers all,” “Flunk the elec-

toral college,” and “Not my president.” After half an hour of personal testimonies and words of encouragement in the park, the protesters marched down Massachusetts Street, shouting chants like “We reject the President-Elect,” and “Dump Trump.” SEE PROTEST PAGE 2

University responds to harassment concerns CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese

Several of the University’s offices have responded to increased concerns about harassment and discrimination on campus over the past week. The University’s International Student Services office is offering extra support and safety measures for students who may be feeling unsafe on campus. In an email sent out last week, ISS said international students can call their office if they would like someone to escort them to class. "In the coming weeks as leadership transitions in the U.S., it is important that we continue to seek out areas of commonality and work to bridge differences that potentially divide us," the email said. "The faculty and staff at KU are here to make sure you are supported during this transition and your educational goals continue uninterrupted." According to the ISS Facebook page, nearly 100 people have volunteered to help escort. Joe Monaco, the University’s director of strate-

gic communications, said no one has requested ISS' new service as of Friday afternoon. He also said no incidents of harassment or discrimination of international students have been reported to the Public Safety Office or the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. Student Body President and Vice President, Stephonn Alcorn and Gabby Naylor, also released a statement Friday, encouraging students to use the resources on campus if they experience harassment or discrimination. “Over the course of the last few days, many students have expressed concerns and shared experiences of increased harassment and hatred in both implicit and explicit forms on our campus,” the statement said. “These acts have no place at our University. Every Jayhawk deserves to feel a sense of community and belonging.” ISS, the Student Senate executives and Monaco encouraged students to report incidents of harassment or discrimination to IOA or PSO.

Baxter Schanze/KANSAN Runners take off at the starting line during the annual KU Veterans Day 5k on Nov. 13.

Military community comes together for 5K ELLE CLOUSE @elle_clouse

Veteran Mary LeClair’s long travel from Ankeny, Iowa became worth it Sunday morning, as she and roughly 300 other veterans and supporters participated in the University's Veterans Day Run. Although this was LeClair’s first time competing in the 5K, race director Randy Masten said that this race is part of the University's long-standing military tradition. “KU has got a very long military tradition of supporting our veterans,”

Masten said. “We've been doing [the race] in its current format for five years, and it was run two years before that, much smaller.” Masten said the race is designed to show support for those that are affiliated with the military. “The purpose of the race is to increase awareness of, and funding for, the KU Veterans Alumni Network, the Student Veterans of America, the Student Veterans Center that's going in Summerfield [Hall] in January and for the Wounded Warrior Scholarships,” Masten said. The course began at

Memorial Stadium and ran through the main Lawrence campus, past the University's five war memorials. LeClair, who spent almost three years in the Army Reserves, said that, among other reasons, she ran to show support for her husband, who served in the military for 13 years. “I'm running today to support all our veterans, especially those wounded, and to show support for KU,” LeClair said. Masten said he wants all the runners to leave with an understanding of the University's commit-

ment to the armed forces. “I just hope that they realize that Jayhawks have served, and are serving, and will continue to serve our nation in the armed forces,” Masten said. Once all the runners passed through the green inflatable finish line, smiles and high fives were seen all around. “It’s a wonderful vibe,” LeClair said. “You can really tell that there's a lot of support for the military veterans and what they stand for, and what they’ve been through.”

On-campus drug citations increase RYAN MILLER

@Ryanm_reporter

T

he incidents usually occur late at night. A resident assistant doing rounds in a residence hall smells marijuana coming from a room. The RA makes a phone call to the KU Public Safety Office and, typically within minutes, an officer is on scene investigating and knocking on the door. If a resident doesn’t answer, the officer reaches out to the District Attorney’s office to apply for a search warrant. Once a judge reviews and signs the warrant, the officer can enter the resident’s room. Oftentimes, the officer returns the same night to serve the search warrant, although they have several days to do so. The speed with which officers can get search warrants today is one of the reasons University police have charged more students with drug crimes in recent years.

It’s not necessarily there’s more people using marijuana, it’s just that there’s more people getting cited for the use of marijuana.” James Anguiano KU PSO Captain

The process wasn’t always so quick, but in the last two years, since new criteria for search warrants and a more streamlined process was introduced, officers have been able to handle drug crimes faster and more efficiently.

In 2015, there were 186 drug related crimes at the University, an increase from 177 in 2014 and 107 in 2013, according to KU PSO. The majority of the cases involved drug paraphernalia or possession of marijuana. Streamlining the process Since the beginning of the school year through October, KU PSO has received 29 drug related calls, said KU PSO Captain James Anguiano. “It’s not necessarily there’s more people using marijuana, it’s just that there’s more people getting cited for the use of marijuana,” Anguiano said. “So that’s why the numbers have shown that steady increase.” Anguiano attributed the higher number of citations to a collaboration between multiple organizations over the past few years. “When you see the numbers rise, it was based on a collaborative effort between student housing, public safety, and the district attorney’s office,” Anguiano said. Anguiano said since

about 2014, officers have been applying for more search warrants, and have had more success obtaining them when dealing with marijuana cases. He also said student housing staff has been better trained to recognize marijuana and report it to them. KU PSO also worked with the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office on new criteria to apply for a search warrant, which also contributed to more reports being taken, Anguiano said. If a student doesn’t let KU PSO in their room and there is probable cause to believe there is marijuana, KU PSO applies for a search warrant through a quicker, more streamlined process, which has resulted in an increase in search warrant usage, Anguiano said. Working with student housing Diana Robertson, the director for Student Housing, said the continued collaboration with KU PSO is about trying to foster safe environments for residents. “From our end in student housing, it’s about trying to protect community residents … [and] to be able

to support the students," Robertson said. "In my mind, they paid for a space that should be free of that and to be able to help enforce that and support that was our motivation." “Even if we don’t make contact with somebody, but we have an odor or somebody smokes in their room and leaves, we’re still going to apply for a search warrant," Anguiano said. "So that’s helped us." According to the city’s website, a citation can range from $200 to $2,500, and the person involved could face jail time of up to one year. The student also has to go through the student housing conduct process. Robertson said that student conduct takes an educational approach. Then, depending on the severity of the violation and if the behavior is repetitive, the student’s housing contract could be called into jeopardy. “We want to make sure we’re educating people about the laws and the consequences along the way so generally there’s a first step of education, as with any policy,” Robertson said.

Colorado could be an influence Aside from residence halls, Anguiano said marijuana has also been mostly confiscated in residence hall parking lots and during car stops. A recent survey of WHO released by the Kansas Attorney General found that a higher percentage of marijuana confiscated in Kansas is coming from Colorado since its legalization in 2014. The Kansas Highway Patrol found that 48 percent of the marijuana seized in 2015 had Colorado origins, an increase of 30 percentage points from 2013, the Attorney General report said. In 2014, KU PSO was able to identify 14 marijuana cases attributed to Colorado, according to the report. “Since we are so close to Colorado, some people think the law’s the same everywhere,” Anguiano said. Despite the marijuana edibles’ increase across Kansas the last few years, Anguiano said the University isn’t seeing a lot of them, but largely marijuana in its dry, vegetative form. The main problem the KU PSO has with edibles, Anguiano said, is that they’re harder to detect and recognize. To help combat this, KU PSO includes information about marijuana edibles, oils, and waxes in addition to its vegetative form in trainings for new officers and student housing, where marijuana is found the most on campus.

Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN A group of K-State students show their signs at Saturday night’s “Lawrence Against Trumps Hate” protest.

FROM PROTEST PAGE 1

Some were high school students who weren’t old enough to vote, but wanted to show their support. Others were parents and grandparents who brought their small children. Many were students from the University or surrounding colleges — even a group of Kansas State University students joined in. Although all the protestors wanted to show their dissatisfaction with Trump, many also had a personal reason for attending. “I am here as someone who has been raped and as someone who is a member of the LGBT community,” Emma Paape, a sophomore from Forest Lake, Minn.

said. “I have friends that are members of the LGBT community, I have Muslim friends, I have friends who are people of color. I have friends who are in danger because of this man who apparently we elected even though the people elected Hillary.” A major point of contention for some marchers was the electoral college, which allots a certain number of votes for each state a candidate wins by popular vote. Although Hillary Clinton won more individual votes across the nation, Trump won more states, and therefore won the presidency. “My girlfriend and I are really just here to show our disgust with how this election has turned out,” Connor Mosley, a protestor and

resident of Lawrence, said. “It really just bothers us that even though the majority of the population voted for Hillary Clinton we ended up with Donald Trump, who has promoted so much hate and unrest in this country. This is something that we are not proud of. We want people to know we aren't, and that we don't feel safe.” The march was nonviolent and, although there were some verbal altercations, there was little conflict between protesters and bystanders. Samantha Hershberger, a teacher from Topeka, was walking back from the Sandbar when she ran into the marchers. “I think that everyone has a right to disagree with something, but I feel like a

lot of it has been done with a lot of hate,” Hershberger said. “ I disagree, we can’t stop it, but in different parts of the U.S. it’s been so hateful and so wrong. It’s uncomfortable for everyone, people feel unsafe and I just don’t agree with it.” Jackson Brungardt, a junior at Lawrence Free State High School, was another bystander downtown Saturday night who disagreed with the protestors. He said he doesn’t have a problem with people exercising their freedom of speech, but doesn’t think it will change anything. “In reality, this isn’t going to change the president-elect, Donald Trump, and I like some of Hillary’s views. I don’t like all of Trump’s views, but I think

Trump’s a better guy for president, Hillary lies about a lot of stuff — so does Trump — but the things Hillary lies about are serious,” Brungardt said. “I just think this is spreading hate, and it’s a bit ignorant in the way I see it.” The crowd spent a little over half an hour on Massachusetts street before returning to South Park for more personal testimonies and reflections. Price said she hopes that at the end of it all, people found a community where they can feel supported. “What I hope to see is that there are more people in Lawrence who build a network,” Price said. “Who say ‘We are safe, we are safe people, if you need any help, we are here.'”

Dual-campus students hit administrative roadblocks CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese

M

aster’s student Alexandra Bode takes 15 credit hours and works three days a week at the University — a pretty normal load. But when she got sick earlier this semester and visited Watkins Health Center, she was told that she wasn’t a full-time student and hadn’t paid the full-time student fee, so she couldn’t get health care without paying a couple hundred dollars. Bode is one of a few dozen students enrolled in a dualcampus program between the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center. Because

these programs are outside the norm and cross the administrative boundary between the main University and its medical center, the University systems often fail to recognize the students in these programs as full-time. “[University administrators] don’t recognize that you’re a full-time student, so it’s like on each campus you’re a part-time student,” Bode said. “You don’t really think about the benefits that you get from being a fulltime student until you don’t have them.” Bode is in the first year of working toward her master’s in speech-language pathology. Tanya Honderick, an

File Photo/KANSAN Some students who attend classes part-time at both the Lawrence campus and KU Medical Center have trouble accessing the benefits of being a fulltime student.

administrator for a master’s in Public Health (MPH) program at the medical center, said some of her students have struggled with the University’s classifying system as well. While not

all of the MPH students go between campuses, a few are simultaneously enrolled in an Applied Behavioral Science Ph.D. program at the Lawrence campus. “It is a little tricky for

those students because of the two different campuses,” Honderick said. “Even though it’s one university, sometimes there are different processes or sometimes different requirements for the two campuses.” Honderick has dealt with systems like Human Resources or Enroll and Pay not recognizing her students’ dual enrollment. She said she recently had to do special paperwork to get one of her students to start a Graduate Teaching Assistant position. “We do have to pay special attention or do some extra things to help those students get everything coordinated right within the systems,” she said.

Despite some downfalls, however, Bode said there are some beneficial aspects of the programs, since her classes in Lawrence focus on the more theoretical and social aspect of speechlanguage pathology, whereas her Medical Center classes provide an insight into the medical side. She also said there’s a little bit of a cultural difference between the campus. “Being in Lawrence, you feel like a student,” she said. “On the Med Center campus, you feel like a working adult, because you’re walking into the Med Center ... with your lunchbox and ID badge on and you’re dressed more professionally.”

y mother did not live to cast her own vote this year, or to see me cast my first vote in a presidential election for a woman. The moment I did the math on election night and realized Hillary Clinton couldn’t win, I felt the ghost of grief over my mother reappear and take a firm hold on my heart, squeezing in that achingly familiar how-will-I-get-my-nextbreath way that dwells closer to the surface than expected. The grief I feel today mirrors the loss I felt nearly four years ago; in each instance, it ushered in a fundamental restructuring of how I view my life and my future. Tuesday, though, brought in a

new, raw uncertainty about American society, my place in it and the positions of people I care about. Today, I grieve. I feel the hopelessness, the despair, the anger, the frustration, the fear. I fear for the lives and safety of myself, my loved ones and strangers I will never meet. Today, the words and actions of a man we have elected validate the Brock Turners and George Zimmermans and Darren Wilsons of the nation and the world. Early this semester, I got on the bus and the men who sat behind me spoke of chasing after women when they go running to “make them feel alive.” The fear, anger, and disgust I felt at that moment are now amplified as I face this election’s result. This is one infinitesimal picture

of the danger people faced before, reaffirmed as acceptable by an electorate that put a known bigot into the most powerful office in the country. Early this election, someone I consider a friend said social issues don’t matter in elections. This time, that rings true. White people, uncomfortable with their newfound displacement caused by a shifting economic structure and cultural and demographic revolution, forgot or conveniently never internalized how we as a nation have systematically denied our fellow human beings the rights, opportunity, and dignity white people enjoy as a given. They placed their (rightful) anger over economic frustration and abandonment over the basic humanity of us all.

Today, I recognize my privilege allows me to feel newly unsafe, while others of more marginalized identities have never felt either safety or hospitality in America. I offer my support to my fellow women, to trans* folks and LGBT+ people, to people of color, to disabled people and immigrants. I recognize that support and words without action are empty and worthless, and while I work to realize these words, I invite your suggestions as to how to make them have meaning and action behind them. To infuse our community with care, pride and doggedness to keep the progress we’ve made, to make further strides in fulfilling our responsibilities in ensuring all people feel welcome, safe and whole in our coun-

try, we must motivate ourselves to action. No longer can we lay quiescent, content to let others make these decisions for us; to emerge from this presidency more resilient, with a greater conviction of purpose and cognizance of our peers’ needs, we must listen, include, strategize and act. We have the collective power to create influence if only we do not fall into cynicism and dismay. Today, I grieved a loss with renewed but familiar pain. Tomorrow, I act, and I invite you all to join me.

Hannah Edelman/KANSAN Dancers at Point B Dance Company rehearse “B Human: Part 2.” The show will be presented on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

HANNAH COLEMAN @KansanNews

N

ext Saturday, Nov. 19, the Lawrence Arts Center will be presenting “B Human: Part Two," a dance performance put together by Point B Dance Company. Point B is known for exhibiting the different stages of life through dance, film and spoken word, according to the center's website. "B Human: Part Two" will center around displaying the unity of human emotion and interaction through dance, and will explore the recent political conflict by promoting di-

versity and union despite differences. Choreographer and Point B Dance Company Director Cathy Patterson said she wants the audience to engage in that concept while viewing the show. “In the wake of the division in our country, this show takes on an even bigger purpose of promoting unity within diversity,” Patterson said. “In fact, our last section 'ageless' ... the main theme is unity.” The show will be split into four sections, each featuring a different stage of life: adolescence, young adulthood, middle age and then beyond.

“It explores the different challenges and joys that each age feels,” Patterson said. “My hope is that audience members will first connect with and relate to the age section they fall into and secondly, to enlighten them on the challenges that other age groups face and build compassion for their issues.” Through this performance, Patterson hopes that audience members will understand the message of inclusion and diversity acceptance. “This show and company are unique in that we try to include the audience along our dance journey,” Patter-

son said. “We try to make them feel and hopefully inspire them to become open and accepting of others.” Blair Armstrong, one of the show's performers, said she finds the different stages of life uniquely beautiful, and wants the audience to feel that as well, but not just the positive aspects of each. “I want the audience to see the beauty in pain, love, heartbreak and so may other feelings,” Armstrong said. “I want the audience to see the true beauty of what it means to be human.” Armstrong said her favorite aspect of the show is its ability to tell stories that not only display a range of

human emotion and beauty of age, but an all-encompassing story. “Cathy Patterson is a genius, and has created a show that is not just dances but creates stories throughout each vignette,” Armstrong said. “Each vignette tells a different compelling story, but then all of the vignettes run together that tell the story of somebody's entire life. The show is brilliantly done, and every single dance is unique in its own way.” Tickets are $10 and the performance begins at 7 p.m.

The Spencer Museum’s massive, multi-modal ‘Temporal Turn’ exhibit explores Asian culture SAMANTHA SEXTON @Sambiscuit

On Thursday night, the Spencer Museum of Art opened its first full exhibit since renovations with pieces from 26 different artists from across Asia. Temporal Turn, as the exhibit is titled, explores a “rich mosaic of ideas about time and history,” said Elizabeth Kanost, the museum’s communications coordinator. “This is a beautiful display of all kinds of media from sculptures to paintings to tapestries to short films,” Kanost said. “And one of the best parts is that it’s all contemporary work, meaning that all the artists are alive and active.” Four of the artists included were invited into the museum as artists-in-residence in October to work on site-specific commissions created exclusively for the exhibit. Konoike Tomoko from Japan, Rohini Devasher from India, Park Jaeyoung from South Korea and Sahej Rahal from India each worked over the past couple months on a variety of pieces, including the large clay installation recently seen outside the museum's entrance. “We’re very lucky to have been able to get such amazing talent to the museum,” Kanost said. “We’re the only comprehensive art museum in the state of Kansas, and I believe that tonight’s exhibit

really shows that off.” The opening of Temporal Turn featured several guest speakers introducing the different themes of the night, followed by a free buffet, live music and two hours to peruse the artworks, though Kanost said visitors may need more time to fully appreciate the exhibit. “This is an incredibly large exhibit and it’s full of so many different things that I think it would be best for people, especially if you live nearby, to come in several times to really enjoy it,” Kanost said. “One video

alone is almost 30 minutes all the way through.” Since the renovations, the museum's first floor has been empty to allow for guest speakers and to show off the improvements, but with Temporal Turn, the space is completely full, breathing new life into the once solemn chamber. The exhibit is split into five themes by colors — “Pulse," in green, presents artists working at the borders between biological sciences, technology and visual art; “The Edge of Infinity," in blue, examines the astrono-

my, mathematics and space exploration; “Mythopoeia," in purple, investigates Asian figures from both a historical and mythological lens; “Human/Posthuman/Inhuman," in red, explores the ideas of human evolution; and “Anthropocene," in orange, looks at how humans transform nature and the environment around them. “One of the pieces that I worked on included old church pews from a disused church here in Lawrence,” Rahal said about one of his “Mythopoeia” pieces. “And to me, they become these

fossilized ruins that, to my mind, belong to the future, but are actually pieces from the past.” Rahal also created a short film he said plays on the concept of archeology in that it stars fictional historical figures and focuses on their impact on Indian culture. While the art comes from Asian influences, the eclectic media could provide something interesting for nearly everyone. Temporal Turn will be hosted at the museum until March 12.

Review: ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is a gripping, personal drama GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake

Since the uproar he caused over various anti-Semitic remarks in 2006, Mel Gibson has been pretty quiet in Hollywood. Outside of roles in small films like “Edge of Darkness," “Get the Gringo” and “Blood Father," Gibson has done no work as a director since the underrated “Apocalypto” was released in 2006. Now, 10 years later, Gibson has jumped back into the limelight with “Hacksaw Ridge” in an attempt to prove that no amount of controversy can stop him from making a quality film. “Hacksaw Ridge” is a true story that largely takes place during World War II and stars Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who joins the Army because he believes he can help in ways that no one else can — by not killing people. As he moves through the ranks, Doss faces the pressure from everyone around him to forget his convictions and bend to the will of fighting in the war. Doss' struggles all come to a head at Hacksaw Ridge in the Battle of Okinawa, where he calls on his faith to save 75 soldiers from certain death in a place where the hell of war seems to squander any sense of hope. His bravery earns him the Congressional Medal of Honor, marking him the first ever conscientious objector to win the highest award for service to the United States.

Andrew Garfield has one of the best performances of his career as Doss.”

alized since Kathryn Bigelow's “The Hurt Locker." As a director, Gibson excels in filming gruesome violence. However, he does so in a way that is terrifying and grounded in realism. Nothing about the battle scenes feels dramatized or added for emotional effect. Gibson has a knack for making these sequences feel personal and true to life. It allows the viewer to be transported right into the thick of it with the other soldiers. Instead of glorifying violence, Gibson keeps the action realistic and gut-wrenching by making the battlefield feel more like a horror scene than a big set piece. Before Doss' heroics in Japan occur, the film takes time to develop his character stateside as well. Doss' past is important in realizing the decisions he makes, especially when it comes to choosing not to take part in being violent himself. By taking the time to invest in his character from such a young age, the film succeeds in making Doss a

humble, likable hero whose convictions feel valid. It also allows the tension to build up before he and the other soldiers go to Japan to make their mark in the war. Andrew Garfield has one of the best performances of his career as Doss. He perfectly depicts the hope Doss feels and the struggle he goes through once his beliefs come into question. Garfield delivers emotion and a dramatic heft in his performance that deserves every bit of praise. Look out for his name when Oscar season rolls around. The supporting cast steps up to the plate in this film as well. Teresa Palmer has perfect chemistry with Garfield as Dorothy, Doss' love interest. Their scenes together are heartwarming and impactful to the emotional core of the film. There are some cheesy lines, but they fit well with the time period and do not detract from the impact of Doss and Dorothy's relationship. Perhaps the most sur-

prising performance comes from Vince Vaughn as Sergeant Howell. His role is quite comical, and it adds some lightness to the serious tone of the film, especially during the boot camp scenes. However, Vaughn plays against his normal character type and matches his comedy with an understated seriousness that allows his character to be impactful at times when it counts most. The only negative aspect of "Hacksaw Ridge" is the way in which it wraps up the final battle sequence. Instead of adding another 20 minutes of runtime, the film montages through the last battle in about five to 10 minutes. This choice is effective enough, but giving more time to let the battle unfold at a normal pace would have added to the film's impact as a whole. In the end, “Hacksaw Ridge” does everything a true-to-life war drama should do. It sticks to the facts, is directed with a frighteningly visceral tone and is full of performances

UDC fall concert to feature a variety of dance styles ALYSSA HOEDL @AHoedl

T

he University Dance Company will perform their fall concert in a variety of dance styles including contemporary, flamenco and hip-hop on Nov. 17 and 18 at the Lied Center. The UDC has been at the University since the early

1900s, when it was solely a student organization. Now the company is a part of the dance department’s curriculum. “The UDC started out as a club and remains as a student organization, but it is also a course for majors,” Michelle Heffner Hayes, professor and chair of the

Department of Dance, said. “It is a huge commitment for the students involved and they give up their free time everyday to get to work with choreographers and get the experience of being in a professional dance company.” Every year, the UDC has guest artists come in and choreograph dance numbers

for its fall and spring concerts. The two guest choreographers for this semester’s concert are Jennifer Weber, founder of the Brooklyn-based hip-hop company Decadedancetheatre, and Ellie Goudie-Averill, an alumna and new faculty member. Weber’s piece, “4,” is to

a rendition of Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” The entire work is a mixture of classical dance and hip-hop. Goudie-Averill’s piece is a contemporary piece set to live music by the University’s percussion ensemble. “I am always happy when we have a successful alum come back and give back to the company that made them,” Hayes said. “Goudie-Averill worked for many years in New York and Philadelphia and she came back to just give back.”

I am always happy when we have a successful alum come back and give back to the company that made them.” Michelle Heffner Hayes Chair of the Department of Dance

Kaila Trollope/KANSAN The University Dance Company practices for their upcoming fall concert. The concert will take place on Nov. 17 and is hosted by the KU Department of Dance.

Ana Glocker, a junior and president of UDC, has been involved with the group since her freshman year and this fall’s concert is her fifth. “The most rewarding part of being in UDC is the relationships you cultivate with the faculty and other danc-

ers,” Glocker said. “We truly are like a little family. The care and support that I feel and see everyday, every rehearsal, makes me so proud to be part of this student organization.” Along with the two works previously mentioned, the other works in the concert include “Ballet sans nom” by dance professor Jerel Hilding, “FLIGHT/SAFE HARBOR” by professors Muriel Cohan and Patrick Suzeau. Hayes’ new work “Lo que queda/That which remains...” mixes Flamenco and Latin popular dance and dance instructor Willie Lenoir’s “It Ain’t Angst,” which is a jazz-infused, contemporary work. Hayes said students should attend the concert because of its high-quality dance. “Students should come and see the fall concert because of the live music and the range from ballet to hiphop to flamenco to contemporary,” Hayes said. “It all is just dance that is really beautiful and the concert will be a full evening full of high-level dance.”

Professor’s book explores history of Tunisian art COURTNEY BIERMAN @courtbierman

Jessica Gerschultz has dedicated her career to a part of art history that is largely overlooked by most of the world. An art historian and assistant professor of African and African-American Studies, Gerschultz studies modern and contemporary art in the Middle East and Northern Africa, focusing on Tunisia. Her book, tentatively titled “Decorative Arts of the Tunisian École,” details the struggles of women artists in the Tunisian modern art movement. Gerschultz was a graduate student at Emory University when she applied for a grant to study Tunisia’s textile history. She spent the summer of 2006 in Tunis, the capital city, doing archival research, meeting with the relatives of prominent artists and documenting various murals, tapestries and other artwork. Safia Farhat was a Tu-

nisian artist, intellectual, women’s rights activist and the only female member of a group of artists called the École de Tunis. A large component of Gerschultz’s research, Farhat is remembered for her contributions to textiles, painting, and other media. Gerschultz said that because she was a Muslim woman who specialized in the decorative arts, her work was often overlooked and her contributions to modern art continue to be undermined or ignored altogether. Her accomplishments were often attributed to her husband’s position as a politician. “As a woman, she was subjected to this double-marginalization because she was a [Muslim] artist, because her husband was a politician and because she worked with socalled artisanal materials,” Gerschultz said. Tunisia’s first president, Habib Bourguiba, mandated the production of many artworks in the mid-twen-

tieth century to expand the tourism and artisanal industries. Tunisian artists used wool, ceramics, ironwork and other “artisanal materials” and created a sense of artistic community in the country that Gerschultz said hadn’t existed previously. “[Tunisian artists] were taught that Tunisians didn’t have art history in European art schools,” she

said. “There really is a rich history of Tunisian art, of modern art, and those categories really intersect, and that’s something that I wanted to recuperate.” Gerschultz’s colleague Peter Ojiambo is an associate professor of African and African-American Studies. He said Gerschultz has

helped to comprehensively document something on which very little scholarship exists. Although Northern Africa and Islamic culture have longer human histories than the rest of the world, it is common for art history scholarship to focus on European art and other works coming out of the

West. “When you look at Islamic culture, art actually has a long history,” Ojiambo said. “The interplay between art and religion is very real. [Gerschultz] brings in that aspect that we rarely see.”

Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN Junior Forward Lois Heuchan celebrates her game-winning goal in double overtime with her teammates. Kansas advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, beating Missouri 1-0.

KU soccer triumphs over MU in double overtime SHAUN GOODWIN @ShaunGoodwin96

During an afternoon game Sunday, the Kansas women’s soccer team edged out the Missouri Tigers at home in a 1-0 overtime victory to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The victory was extra sweet for the Jayhawks, as the Tigers knocked them out at this stage of the tournament in 2014, also at Rock Chalk Park. When asked about the game being a revenge game, senior midfielder Hanna Kallmaier was quick to respond. “We definitely got that revenge,” she said. “I got a couple of messages from old teammates from two years ago saying ‘OK, you’ve got to beat them for me,’ so that was definitely a big revenge game.” Missouri came out of the gates firing in the first half, with the team’s first good chance coming just three minutes into the game, when freshman forward Sarah Luebbert ran through on goal. Her drive caused Kansas

goalkeeper Regan Gibbs to come off her line and meet Luebbert midway, making a good save on Luebbert’s low shot. Missouri continued to threaten as the half went on, and Tigers forward Allie Hess hit the crossbar following a cross on the 19th minute. Just three minutes later, Kansas got its best chance of the game at that point, when Kallmaier headed over the bar off a cross from Kansas defender Addisyn Merrick. This chance seemed to spur the Jayhawks on as they began to take control of the game. On the 25th minute, Kansas had another good chance, but Missouri goalkeeper Kelsey Dossey denied a low cross shot by Kansas midfielder Grace Hagan. Full of confidence, Kansas pushed on, creating two more good chances when senior defender Morgan Williams fired over the bar twice in as many minutes, including a beautiful firsttime shot from 25 yards out that sailed just over the top left corner.

Just as the second half started, Missouri came out of the blocks quickly, as midfielder Savannah Trujillo forced Gibbs into a full-stretch save, tipping the ball out for a corner thirty seconds into the half. For the next 18 minutes, both sides battled for control in the middle of the field, attempting to carve out decent chances with little success. Finally, Kansas forward Lois Heuchan broke the trend with a close shot just following a corner kick. The best chance of the half came as Merrick picked up the ball in her own box, and with an incredible burst of speed, ran up the length of the field, forcing the Missouri goalkeeper into a save, which very nearly bobbled over her and into the back of the net. Heading into the last ten minutes of regulation, Missouri dictated the tempo of the game, yet neither side could break the deadlock as the game headed into overtime. As both teams began to fatigue, it became harder for them to create

s n o p u o c n a s kan

good chances, with the best chance of the first overtime period being a dipping header from Heuchan that was just a little too high. Forty seconds into the second overtime, Hagan threaded the ball through the eye of a needle into Heuchan’s path,

who slotted the ball into the bottom right corner from six yards out, winning the game for Kansas. “I wasn’t really bothered with scoring, as long as someone scores and we win the game,” Heuchan said. “A win is a win, so I’m thrilled ei-

ther way.” Kansas will travel to North Carolina for the second round, where the team will face the two-seeded Tar Heels on Friday.

AT A GLANCE Kansas is coming off a fourpoint overtime loss to No. 11 Indiana and it doesn’t get any easier against No. 1 Duke. Duke is without a few key players, but junior Grayson Allen, freshman Frank Jackson and senior Amile Jefferson provide more than enough talent to beat most teams in the country. Kansas’ best chance to win is for Josh Jackson to curb Allen’s scoring ability and for Kansas’ forwards to take advantage of the mismatches that Duke’s injury problems present.

PLAYER TO WATCH

KANSAS

DUKE

(NO. 3, 0-1)

?

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said that he doesn’t expect freshmen Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum or Marques Bolden to be able to play against Kansas. Bolden and Giles figure to major contributors at the forward position while Tatum is an elite guard, who at 6’8” would have a great matchup against Josh Jackson. However, with these three out, Kansas will have a depth advantage that wasn’t there against Indiana. Lucas, Bragg, Jackson and freshman forward Udoka Azubuike will even more significantly impact on this game than they did on the opener. BY THE NUMBERS

27 — Josh Jackson only

played 27 minutes against Indiana, a minute less than sophomore guard Lagerald Vick. With Jackson’s length and defensive strength, the freshman should see a rise in minutes as he gets more comfortable with the college game.

.304 — Kansas’ three-

point percentage against Indiana. Last season, Kansas averaged .418, which might not carry over this season, but provides hope that Kansas’ poor shooting will improve soon.

9

— Kansas’ nine steals against Indiana might not stay consistent throughout the season, but if it does, that would be the highest steals per game total since the 2007-08 season.

(NO. 1, 1-0) AT A GLANCE

STARTING FIVE

STARTING FIVE

Frank Mason III, senior, guard There wasn’t much question going into the Indiana game that Mason was the leader of this year’s team, but he made it clear on Thursday. Mason played 40 minutes, scored 30 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out nine assists. Mason’s ability to get to the free-throw line should challenge any opposing guard in the country, making him especially valuable against short-handed teams like Duke.

Luke Kennard, sophomore, guard Kennard is in his second year as a starter after a freshman campaign in which he averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He’s not technically a point guard, but he’ll handle the ball quite a bit for Duke. He struggled to shoot the three last year, hitting only 32 percent, but he’s started this year stronger in two games, averaging two threes on four tries per game. He’s one perimeter shooter Kansas will be tested with.

★★★★★

PLAYER TO WATCH

Devonte’ Graham, junior, guard Graham had a disappointing season opener, but he’s still one of the best guards in the conference. Graham shot just .273 in the first game, but his nine free-throw attempts are promising. The junior should still finish this season as one of the team’s top three-point shooters, although last game wasn’t a great start. Graham’s assist numbers should jump this week, as he will most likely try to combat Duke’s lack of forward depth with passes inside.

Grayson Allen, junior, guard The player of the year favorite who opted out of the NBA Draft last season, Allen will likely be the focus of Kansas’ defense. It’s likely that Allen will see a mix of Kansas defenders, but it’s not likely they’ll be able to stop him. His per-40 minutes stats from 2015-16 are absurd: 23.7 points, 5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals. And in this game, Allen just might have to play the full 40, or at least close to it, with Duke missing three freshmen. Expect a huge game from Allen.

★★★★★

★★★★★

QUESTION MARK

How will Kansas take advantage of Duke’s missing pieces?

@ByHardy

Duke’s going to have to shoot the three and do it well to win this game. Kennard, Allen and Jones will all be relied upon heavy to create those three-point shots. The Blue Devils aren’t going to get much scoring from the inside, especially with Bolden sidelined. Expect coach Mike Krzyzewski to run plenty of four-guard lineups in this game to give his big men some breathers. But, bottom line, if Duke can’t hit the three and getting extra possessions, there isn’t a clear path to victory with their banged-up team.

★★★★★

Frank Mason III, senior, guard If Mason can score and draw fouls at the rate he did against Indiana, Kansas will be hard to stop offensively. It’s nice that Mason can consistently threaten a triple-double, but it’s even more important in situations like Tuesday for Mason to be able to create opportunities for other players. Mason might not get the same hype as Jackson or even Graham, but he’s clearly the player that can push Kansas over the edge in games.

CHRISTIAN S. HARDY

Josh Jackson, freshman, guard It’s easy to label Jackson’s debut as a poor performance, but he still managed to pick up six rebounds, a steal, and a block, and the freshman didn’t turn the ball over once. He only scored nine points and, although he’ll develop into more of an offensive threat as the season progresses, his defensive utility is what fans should be excited about. With two of Duke’s best forwards out on Tuesday, Jackson’s ability to finish inside might be on full display.

★★★★✩

Matt Jones, senior, guard Jones will again be a 30-minute player for coach Mike Krzyzewski this year — he just played 37 minutes against Grand Canyon on Saturday. He’s struggled from beyond the three-point line so far this season, shooting 28.6 percent in two games, but he’s still going to be a major threat from outside, which is where Duke will have to do a lot of its scoring in this game. Offensively, he doesn’t flash much, but he’s consistent. It’ll be interesting to see where Krzyzewski puts Jones in manto-man defense, as he’s probably the team’s best perimeter defender, and maybe one of the best in the nation.

★★★★✩

Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward Bragg’s first game of the season was very hit-ormiss. He scored 12 points on 85.7 percent shooting, making him the most efficient Jayhawk offensively. The downside was that he only played 18 minutes before fouling out. The sophomore also fouled out of his last exhibition game, a trend that is somewhat worrying, although that issue has been fixed with other players in the past.

★★★✩✩

Amile Johnson, senior, forward This is Jefferson’s fifth year at Duke, and he’s played at least 21 minutes per game in four of those seasons. Still, he doesn’t pose much of a threat for the Kansas defense. Carlton Bragg Jr. should see him on the defensive end, and though Bragg is still figuring things out, Bragg is bigger in height and size. Jefferson is a passable post-man, but where he poses he biggest threat to Kansas is on the boards, as he averaged a double-double last year.

★★★✩✩

Grayson Allen, junior, guard With Duke playing only six players right now due to the rash of injuries, Allen becomes integral for this team’s success. The Blue Devils need him both as the team’s leading threepoint scorer last year and most important facilitator. He’s the lone player on this team that can create shots for himself, but he will especially open up the floor for others. He averaged 36.6 minutes per game last year and hit 41.7 percent of his three-pointers. Duke is probably going to need a lot of Allen to win this game. QUESTION MARK

?

Will Duke have enough reliable depth without its three marquee freshmen?

The true question mark is whether freshman Harry Giles will be ready to play in this game. He’s not expected to, meaning he’ll be sidelined along with freshmen Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden. That leaves Duke with six players who will log more than 10 minutes. In the first two games, Jackson has run with the starters when Krzyzewski decides to go with a four-guard lineup, Duke is not deep right now, which could cause a problem if fouls stack up like they did in the Kansas’ first game, when the teams combined for 63 fouls and seven players fouled out. BY THE NUMBERS

32 — Kansas was called

for fouls 32 times in Friday’s game against Indiana, and four starters fouled out by the end of the game.

37.3 — Duke is shootLanden Lucas, senior, forward Lucas had a tough defensive job in the Indiana game against Thomas Bryant, although Bryant ended up fouling out, in part because of Lucas. On the other hand, Lucas also fouled out, which hurt what had been a strong game for the other starting forward. Lucas tied for the team lead with seven rebounds and contributed 11 points. Lucas’ main role looks to be as a rebounder, although if the senior can come close to replicating this offensive performance, he might be a more indispensable part of this team than previously thought.

★★★✩✩ Christian: Kansas 83, Duke 76

Chase Jeter, sophomore, forward Jeter is the closest thing that Duke has to a center in this starting lineup, though he’s listed at 230 pounds and may have trouble down low against either Landen Lucas or Udoka Azubuike, who are both bigger than Jeter. Like Jefferson, Jeter could cause some problems down low for Kansas, though, as his best attribute is his rebounding, which creates extra possessions for guys like Allen to get shots up.

Beat Writer Predictions Skylar: Kansas 92, Duke 94

★★★✩✩ Brian: Kansas 78, Duke 80

ing an unimpressive 37.3 from three-point range this season through two games. The Blue Devils are 19-of51 from beyond the arc. Indiana shot 48.4 percent from distance on Friday, and the Hoosiers still took overtime to win.

1985 — The last time

Kansas and Duke faced off at Madison Square Garden the year was 1985. Coach Mike Krzyzewski was 38 years old and in his fifth year coaching. Duke won, 92-86, to take the preseason NIT title.
