KU undergraduate women said they’d been sexually assaulted during their time in college. Administrators have been nonvocal in response to the resolution.

According to a survey conducted by the Association of American Universities released in October, 26% of undergraduate women at the University said they were sexually assaulted.

'We can guard anybody': Defensive prowl drives Jayhawks to victory Logan Fricks

@LoganFricks

Forcing turnovers and blocking shots is a great recipe to win games, and Kansas men's basketball proved that in its victory over No. 20 Colorado Saturday.

The Jayhawks forced Colorado to turn the ball over 17 times and blocked four shots.

The Jayhawks also forced the Buffaloes into taking bad shots, holding them to just 30% from the field and 20.6% from the threepoint line.

The Jayhawks put their feet on the gas right from the jump, forcing three turnovers on Colorado’s first four possessions. The defensive effort was highlighted by junior guard Marcus Garrett.

After Colorado junior guard Tyler Bey stole the ball two minutes into the game, Garrett quickly reversed all the momentum and took it right back from Bey. He ended the half with three steals.

Garrett wasn’t the only force on defense. As coach Bill Self pointed out, it was the collective effort of the team, not just Garrett, that limited Bey, who leads Colorado in scoring, rebounding, stealing and blocking.

Bey did not hit a field goal in the entirety of the first half, scoring his two points in the first half on free throws. He finished the game with five points on 1-of-3

KU names next provost, Lejuez's future uncertain Nicole Asbury @NicoleAsbury

Barbara Bichelmeyer, provost at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, was announced as the next provost for the University of Kansas, Chancellor Douglas Girod said in a letter to campus Friday morning.

Bichelmeyer will begin her position as provost in late February.

“Barbara is a talented researcher and administrator, as well as a proud KU alumna with an unabashed love for this place,” Girod said in the letter.

Interim Provost Carl Lejuez, who served in the role since April 2018, will be returning to his role as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Girod said. The Kansan previously reported Lejuez was interviewing at the University at Buffalo last Thursday for a provost position.

“I would like to express my deep appreciation for Carl Lejuez, who has provided strong leadership and energy as our interim provost amid challenging circumstances,” Girod said. “KU is in a better place today as a result of his efforts during the past 19 months.”

The provost executes the chancellor's strategic plans for the University. They are second in command at the Lawrence campus.

A new doughnut shop called Humble Donut Co., which serves more than 20 varieties of miniature doughnuts, has opened inside the Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt franchise in west Lawrence.

“It’s doughnuts and yogurt,” owner Karly Atwood said. “It appeals to everybody.”

Located at 4801 Bauer Farm Drive, Humble Donut Co. has been open for about two weeks.

Store owners Karly and Kevin Atwood said they opened Orange Leaf in 2010, but they wanted to open a Humble Donut Co. location to give customers “something different.” Orange Leaf has a franchising partnership with Humble Donut Co. “It’s so fun to me as a business owner to introduce a new concept,” Karly said.

Students in ME 501 design a cupholder for people who use wheelchairs.

Emma Bascom @EBascom3

Students in Tom DeAgostino’s mechanical engineering class are learning more than just theory — they’re working on designing products for people with physical disabilities.

A group in DeAgostino’s mechanical engineering design process class, which is project-based and includes actual clients, is creating a cupholder for Lawrence resident Deb Young’s wheelchair.

This summer, high school students from the Design the Future program designed a cupholder for Young, who is a triple amputee of six years due to a car accident.

However, it quickly fell apart due to its bulk. That’s when Young reached out to DeAgostino asking for help.

Ryan Goodmiller, a junior from St. Charles, Illinois, and Renee Kryk, a junior from Downers Grove, Illinois, are members of

dents for violating the University’s sexual harassment policy.

However, data from 2017 and 2018 was not released until the Kansan requested the data from Barcomb-Peterson in April 2019.

Vice Provost for Student Affairs Tammara Durham did not respond to questions regarding the resolution. Durham has oversight on every entity on campus that investigates sexual violence apart from the Public Safety Office.

Former Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little opened an 11-person task force that evaluated the University’s policy and procedures on sexual violence in September 2014.

It opened after the University gained national criticism in response to a Huffington Post report that described the experience of an anonymous University student who alleged she was raped. The man she said raped her admitted to police he kept having sex with her after she kept saying “no.” The University originally considered giving the man, who was also a student, community service as a punishment. But instead, administrators thought the action was considered “too punitive.”

the group designing Young’s cupholder.

“We were all kind of drawn to Deb. We really enjoyed what she wanted, and we really felt compelled to help her. She’s a really great person, so we wanted to help her and make her life easier,” Kryk said.

Young said the group went to Deb’s house and met with her several times for interviews and to measure the wheelchair.

Young said she is impressed with the work the group has put in so far, partially because of the list of requirements for the design.

“They had all these specifications. [It] had to be under the armrest. I didn’t want it to stick out when it wasn’t in use, and it couldn’t be any wider than the armrest,” Young said.

Kryk said this project has been a great experience for her both professionally and personally.

“We had to learn to meet with the client and be very professional

around her, and it was a great experience for us to be able to talk to our client and figure out exactly what she wanted,” Kryk said.

Goodmiller appreciates the class’ structure so much that he thinks other upper-level mechanical engineering courses should be taught similarly.

“Actually applying the things we’ve learned in the last few years in college, taking them out into the real world, doing something that you really didn’t think you’re capable of doing,” Goodmiller said.

Young said she is thankful for the group’s help, which has inspired her to potentially take a more active role at the University.

“It’s humbling, and it brings me to tears because I haven’t always been an amputee. My career has been in special education, but now I’m sitting on the other side of things,” Young said.

The task force released a final report in April 2015 with 27 recommendations to strengthen and refine policies of sexual assault.

Gray-Little’s task force resulted in the creation of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. It also required sexual harassment training for students.

Student Body President Tiara Floyd said during the full Senate meeting she will directly ask Girod in a private meeting on Dec. 12 about the resolution.

Grant Daily, Student Senate’s government relations director and author of the resolution, said he believes the University to be “one of the best schools in

the nations in terms of a student body who truly understands at the core what a definition is of sexual assault and violence.” However, he said the University still falls short.

“Where we begin to falter in my opinion is when it comes on the flip side of that — it’s the response that the University takes. It is the reporting process. It is the followup process. It’s the process of trying to find someone on campus that you feel comfortable enough to report to,” he said.

This story will be updated if and when the University responds with comment on the resolution.

The University of Kansas Transportation Services is launching an airport shuttle pilot program to provide affordable transportation for students to and from Kansas City International Airport for winter break.

The shuttle program will run from the University’s Lawrence campus to MCI four times a day from Wednesday, Dec. 18 to Friday, Dec. 20. It will run from MCI back to campus Saturday, Jan. 18 to Monday, Jan. 20. The cost of a one-way ride in the shuttle is $27, and the first 30 students living on campus to sign up will only pay $10.

“After hearing feedback from parents at New Student Orientation the last several summers about the cost of getting their students to and from the airport, combined with the fact that our new contracted service provider, First Transit, is providing larger vehicles for SafeRide, this is a great opportunity to see if we can provide a viable, more affordable option,” said Associate Director of Transportation Services Aaron Quisenberry in a news release.

The shuttle holds up to 10 passengers per trip and will leave campus and MCI at set times.

At the beginning of winter break, the shuttle will leave campus at 6 a.m., 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.

The location where the shuttle departs from campus will be released after students sign up.

At the end of winter break, the shuttle will leave MCI at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m., and 9 p.m.

Transpor tation Ser vices worked with the Association of University Residence Halls in hopes of providing more affordable and reliable transportation for students to MCI. While this program is only a pilot, Transportation Services and AURH hope it will be received well enough to expand to other breaks.

“This is a pilot program, so we’re just kind of testing the grounds seeing how it works, and hopefully if this goes well, we’ll expand it to like spring breaks and fall break and maybe even Thanksgiving break,” said AURH President Max Schieber.

Larger SafeRide vehicles will be used to transport students to and from the airport.

Students can sign up on Parking and Transit’s KU On Wheels website beginning Thursday, Dec. 5. Spots on the shuttle are not confirmed until students receive a confirmation email and have paid the $27 fee. Students who do not originally get a spot on the shuttle will be placed on a waitlist.

Lawrence Popeyes weekly sales skyrocket Jakob Katzenberg @KatzWriteSports

On Aug. 12, the Louisiana-style chicken restaurant Popeyes launched its new menu item: the chicken sandwich. But, after selling out of the item nationwide in just over two weeks after the sandwich’s release, the fast food chain discontinued the item.

After teasing the item several times via Twitter, on Oct. 28, Popeyes announced the sandwich would make its comeback on Nov. 3 — this time for good.

Now, the chicken sandwich is back and a hot commodity. Lawrence’s Popeyes’ manager Brandon Haynes said he’s noticed a drastic uptick in sales since the sandwich’s return. He said in the past week, sales have shot up from about “$3,000 to about $11,000 per day” and the restaurant is now busy, “basically all day.”

Haynes said roughly 80% of this store’s sales have been chicken sandwiches alone.

The booming sales have also caused the lines of customers to increase substantially. Haynes said during the first few days of the sandwich’s revival, some people had to wait up to an hour and a half to get their food. However, now the average wait has been cut down to 30 minutes, Haynes said.

The hype around the sandwich

is evident, but what makes it so popular?

Nick Springer, a senior at the University of Kansas from Wichita, said he thinks the sauce that goes with the sandwich is what separates it from its competitors.

“I got the spicy one and it came with this orange sauce,” Springer said. “Chick-fil-A doesn’t really offer anything like that. I mean, they have Chick-fil-A sauce, but that isn’t something I typically put on my spicy chicken sandwich — only the regular.”

Haynes, on the other hand, pointed to another component that may be what’s causing people’s mouths to water over the sandwich.

“From my personal experience, I like the Popeyes chicken sandwich a lot better [than Chick-filA’s] just because of the seasoning,” Haynes said. “The seasoning is amazing on this sandwich.”

Springer also said he enjoys the texture of the Popeyes chicken sandwich over Chick-fil-A’s.

“To me, I thought it was crispier,” Springer said. “When I bit into it, it almost melted in my mouth.

It was delicious.”

Since the sandwich’s return, Haynes expressed that Popeyes has been actively looking to hire more employees to accommodate the rush. He said the restaurant has hired 10 to 20 people since

The Lawrence Popeyes store is located at 2560 Iowa St.

Nov. 3 and encouraged more people to apply.

“We still need [employees] very bad,” Haynes said. “A lot of people come, they see the rush, they come for one day and then we don’t see them again.”

Haynes also said employees have had to work extra hours because of the prominence of the chicken sandwich.

“We actually come in about two

KU junior wears Danish fashion Alicia Marksberry @AliciaMarksb

Strategic communications junior Julie Jorgensen from Cedar Falls, Iowa, wears her baby blue smock dress and chunky Fila shoes on a mild December day.

The dress is one of the many souvenirs she brought back to the United States from her study abroad experience in Denmark.

She decided to study there because of her Danish ancestry.

Jorgensen said her experience abroad had a big influence on

her fashion style, and she developed a big interest in Scandinavian fashion.

“Loose-fitting dresses were really in, and the Filas or really pumped up tennis shoes were the style, and I just really loved how they looked on other people,” Jorgensen said. “I love this outfit.

It just reminds me of a really good time in life when I was overseas.”

Jorgensen tries to dress up for class every day and said she feels like her interest in Scandinavian fashion and her consistency sets her style apart from other people.

Dressing up for class makes her feel confident, comfortable and prepared for the day, she said.

When shopping, she looks for simple patterns and designs.

“When I go shopping I usually try to find things that I can pair with other things,” she said. “I don’t like to buy something that just goes with one thing because then I feel like I’m putting too much money into one specific item of clothing.”

Instead of accessorizing, Jorgensen likes to focus more on her makeup and hair, but if she were to add anything to a look, it would be a good pair of earrings.

hours earlier now,” Haynes said.

“We usually close at around 10 p.m. When we close, we usually end up cleaning for about an hour — get off at 11 p.m. Now, people are staying until midnight — 1 a.m.”

While Haynes sees the benefits of the sandwich, he said the difficulties it has caused the restaurant — such as long lines, longer shifts and extra work — is frus-

trating. He also referenced a news story reported by CNN about an infuriated customer who killed another person in line.

“As to all the incidents and stuff that has been going on over the sandwich, it’s definitely not worth it — as in the staffing [problems],” Haynes said. “[And], someone shouldn’t be getting stabbed over a Popeyes chicken sandwich.”

Doughnuts

The shop makes doughnuts to order to be purchased in sizes ranging from three to three dozen with up to six different flavors. A pack of three costs about $3.

Customers can purchase five different classic flavors, such as glazed, chocolate iced or cinnamon sugar. Humble also offers more creative flavors, such as“Birthday Cake” and “Maple Bacon.” There’s even cereal and candy doughnuts made with the cereal and candy of the day.

Humble Donut Co. also plans to offer speciality doughnuts with the season and a doughnut of the week, Karly said.

“It’s like a little sampling of all these different flavors,” Karly said.

Since opening the location, Karly said she has seen an increase in traffic. She said the crowd has been a “little bit of everyone,” with people getting doughnuts before work, families coming in with kids and college students grabbing a snack.

University of Kansas sophomore Morgan Rohloff said she has worked at the Lawrence Orange Leaf since September, but she’s worked at other locations for

more than four years. She said she thinks the doughnut shop adds some excitement to the location.

“I’ve only known Orange Leaf by itself, and all of a sudden, they’re adding this new idea that’s super fun,” Rohloff said. “People are stoked about them.”

There are nine total Humble Donut Co. locations in five states, including shops in Missouri, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin and Florida, according to the company’s website.

The Lawrence location is the only shop in Kansas.

While both businesses are open and operating, Humble Donut Co. will host a grand opening Saturday, Dec. 14, during its normal business hours. During the grand opening, customers can receive a dozen free cinnamon sugar doughnuts if they purchase a dozen or more doughnuts, Karly said.

The owner also said she hopes to host special events, such as late night speciality doughnuts.

Her long term hope is to get more people to check out the business. Karly said she is excited about the addition and thinks the Lawrence community will be excited too.

“Lawrence is such a fun place,” she said. “It loves finding new products it can get excited about.”

Both businesses are open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Jayhawk defense From page 1

looks but clamped down.

The presence of senior center Udoka Azubuike and his two blocks in the first half kept Colorado behind the arc, as the Buffaloes finished the first half with 15 three-point attempts. Coming

into the game, Colorado averaged 18 three-point attempts.

Credit to the Jayhawks’ defense, Colorado shot a mere 26.9% from the field and turned the ball over nine times in the first half.

The defense continued the pressure in the second half, as the Jayhawks opened up the period with a steal from sophomore guard Ochai Agbaji.

Garrett also continued to be a force, grabbing a steal just three

minutes later. Two minutes after that, Garrett knocked away what would’ve been an easy layup by the Buffaloes.

Azubuike continued to dominate in the paint. The Buffaloes grabbed a steal and were moving up the court, and Colorado senior forward Lucas Siewert looked like he was about to have a wide-open layup until Azubuike slid over and sent the shot back into the stands.

Garrett said knowing Azubuike

is behind him helps the perimeter rotate and never sag off defenders.

“With me, Ochai [Agbaji] and Devon [Dotson] on the perimeter, then we have [Azubuike], I feel like we can guard anybody,” Garrett said.

From tipped passes to blocked shots, Kansas never let up on the defensive end. Led by Garrett’s four steals and Azubuike’s three blocks, the Jayhawks proved to be a defensive nightmare for their

former Big 12 conference foe.

“Defensively, I do think we’re pretty connected,” Self said.

“We’ve gotten much better switching.”

more insightful than the Free for Alls. A true display of what is lacking in the youths of today.... wit “I’m a vegetarian” “you believe in that astrology shit?”

“Oh no, can you hear the sex” “I have given up on men in the Midwest.” “just don’t get sloshed at toyotathon.”

“I don’t want to be remembered as a war criminal” “Honestly, if I were buried in a cemetery I would want people to have sex on my grave.”

“Hey Google, can I buy weed with Kohl’s Cash?” “everyone is going to kiss each other on the mouth, so just watch out for that” “bye week more like bi week haha am i right fellas” “do you want to be my pickle woman?”

“I’m not having a threesome, they’re just yelling”

I love Baby Yoda. I don’t care that that’s not really his name. I don’t even really like Star Wars, and yet this dumb green goblin is my phone lock screen. Much like the Mandalorian, I feel a compulsion to protect this creature, even if it is against my own self-interest. And when it comes to Disney, supporting anything it does is definitely against my own self-interest.

The week of its November launch, Disney+ pulled in over 10 million subscribers, luring them in with its backlog of nostalgic content and relatively low $6.99-a-month subscription price. It’s hard to ignore that kind of deal.

Disney owns Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic.

While this seems convenient, seeing all those franchises under Disney’s giant logo is definitely cause for concern — and is clear evidence of a media monopoly.

Disney is not the only company bogarting our bingeing. The day after Disney+ launched, Netflix announced a partnership with Nickelodeon that will result in tons of original content exclusive to Netflix.

Netflix also paid AT&T’s WarnerMedia $100 million to host “Friends” exclusively on its service because Warner Bros. produced “Friends,” and AT&T bought Time Warner in 2016.

However, this deal is expiring at the end of 2019, and all signs point to “Friends” moving to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service.

But NBCUniversal won’t necessarily leave all other sites. Hulu has a non-exclusive licensing deal with NBCUniversal that means the shows currently on the platform will be available until 2024.

Opinion columnist Jamie Hawley argues against the current trend of media monopolization.

You’ll never guess who owns Hulu. (Hint: They also own my beautiful green child.)

Corporations have been gobbling each other up like PacMan dots for years, but I’m not sure the reality became clear until Disney+. Of course it got 10 million subscribers in its first week. It has three of the most successful franchises in history. We want to watch Disney Channel original movies on demand. We want to watch Endgame for the fifth time.

Disney knows that. Who says that low low price of $6.99 a month is going to stay that way?

Understand that these corporations are not your friends...

When it comes down to it, Disney — or any other streaming service — isn’t here to bring back our childhoods. They’re here to make a profit. It’s long past time to argue against streaming as a concept.

We’ve already dug a grave for ca-

ble TV. But what started out as a way to watch all your favorites adfree on demand for $7.99 a month has turned into a three-ring circus of corporate conglomerates and the constant exchange of millions of dollars in licensing fees.

To watch all available streaming content ad-free now costs a little less than $90 a month.

Some of you might ask what’s wrong with that. It’s a decent question. Cable packages cost about $90 a month anyway, and with streaming, you don’t have nearly as many ads. And you can choose what you want to watch down to the episode.

The problem is not with the concept but the execution. Corporate monopolies mean choosing between these services is only an illusion. Disney gets your money whether you’re paying for Disney+ or Hulu. AT&T rakes in all fees from Peacock and HBO. If they have exclusive content on both platforms, they’re charging consumers two fees for content from the same source. How much will consumers pay for access to all their favorite shows, conveniently owned by the same behemoth corporate body? I don’t know, but I know they’re dying

to find out.

It seems like a bit of a contradiction that media monopolies somehow result in a million streaming services. What’s better?

Disney owning creative control of dozens of franchises, putting everything on one site and slowly ratcheting up the price, or AT&T breaking each of its companies into distinct streaming services, each with its own revenue source?

Both are harmful, and unfortunately, it seems both is what we’re stuck with.

The U.S. Justice Department tried to stop the AT&T Time Warner merger in 2017 under antitrust laws, but as is the way of capitalism, the corporation won in the end. All we can do is be mindful consumers. Understand that these corporations are not your friends, and they do not exist to serve you. They exist to serve themselves. Disney has been brought over to the dark side, and not even Baby Yoda is enough to bring them back to the light.

Opinion editor Elijah Southwick praises public transportation.

“The week starts on Monday.”

“I’ll kill you”

Growing up, seemingly everyone had access to a car. My entire hometown community was built on the assumption that its future citizens would all have cars. City planning and the development of businesses in the area are proof of that. A growing cultural shift in the attitude toward owning a car, however, is challenging the old way of thinking that has long pushed access to public transpor-

tation to the back burner.

Today, owning a car is as expensive as it has ever been. The average yearly cost of owning a new car is nearly $10,000. The design and development of our society should not mandate such a heavy financial burden on people when frugal and practical options exist in the realm of public transit.

Recent developments in local public transportation policies are proving that the old ways of thinking are, well, old. The University of Kansas Transportation Services announced Thursday, Dec. 5, that a pilot airport shuttle service for students will be available for use this holiday season. This service

will significantly reduce the financial strain of traveling home for some students, as well as providing a safe and convenient option for the 50-minute journey from campus to the Kansas City International Airport.

Outside of asking for a ride from a car owner, no clear options currently present themselves for students looking for a reasonably priced journey to the airport. Private shuttle services, taxis and town cars are complicated or otherwise unappealing options for students. University transportation services are wise to expand into this market, and it is time for our other public institutions to expand access to public transportation as well.

The Kansas City Council also announced Thursday, Dec. 5, that Kansas City, Missouri, will become the largest city in the country to eliminate bus fares after a unanimous vote. The adoption of this philosophy represents an understanding that one’s ability to move their physical bodies should not be linked to their financial status in a modern society.

Rising housing costs, stagnant wages and obvious environmen-

tal concerns are all significant enough reasons to make a person consider cutting a car out of their life. Although alternative options exist, such as walking or biking, those options are often not physically practical or are too time consuming.

U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District was selected to serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee during her first term in office, a role that is more prestigious than it sounds.

In her role, she has advocated for indigenous communities and the further development of transportation in the Kansas City area.

Public transportation on campus and within the Lawrence community is far better than what I grew up with, and I would never have imagined my home making me proud for being leaders on this issue. The car culture of Kansas is changing before our eyes. Other communities should follow suit in prioritizing public transportation services before it’s too late.

Milwaukee Panthers

Udoka Azubuike

Te’Jon Lucas

Senior center

Redshirt junior guard

The seven-footer has been a dominant force in his senior season at Kansas. Eight games in, he is Kansas’ second-leading scorer, averaging 14.8 points per game.

The Nigeria native scores at an extremely efficient rate as he now leads the country in field goal percentage at 80.3%

Leading the Panthers with 15 points per game and total assists with 36, Lucas is Milwaukee’s top scoring option out of the backcourt. Of his eight games this season, the Milwaukee native has reached double figures in six of them. On Nov. 23 against Morgan State, Lucas contributed 26 points and seven rebounds in 35 minutes of action.

Ochai Agbaji

Darius Roy

Agbaji has had an inconsistent start to his sophomore campaign, but he took off in the Jayhawks’ matchup against the Buffaloes Saturday. In that game, he finished as the game’s leading scorer and recorded his first double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound guard has averaged the most playing time out of any member on the Panthers’ roster this season. At 34 minutes per game, Roy has elapsed 30 or more minutes in five games with a season high of 52 minutes against Western Michigan on Nov. 9.

Roy only managed nine points on 3-for-10 shooting at Drake last Tuesday.

David McCormack

DeAndre Abram

The sophomore from Norfolk, Virginia, is one of Kansas’ most improved players this season, as he is now a reliable scorer from mid-range. Early in the Jayhawks’ last game, Colorado came out in zone and McCormack managed to find the hole in the defense and knocked down his first three jump shots.

With a team-leading 21 three-pointers on the year, Abram provided almost 30% of Milwaukee’s scoring from beyond the arc. He is also the only player to start in all nine games for the Panthers this season. The product of Carrollton, Texas, has knocked down three or more three-pointers in four games this year. Abram connected on 3-for-9 from long range against Drake.
