U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., on Fox News on March 30. Sen. Rubio announced Monday that he will run for president in the upcoming election.
Sen. Marco Rubio tells backers he is running for president, 'time has come for our generation'
MIAMI — Sen. Marco Rubio entered the presidential race Monday by offering the nation a younger generation of leadership that breaks free of ideas "stuck in the 20th century," a jab at both Democratic favorite Hillary Rodham Clinton and his one-time Republican mentor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Standing in front of a banner that proclaimed "A New American Century" and repeating that refrain throughout his kickoff speech, the 43-year-old Cuban-American used his first turn as a Republican presidential candidate to take on two of America's political dynasties. In doing so, he bet heavily on the electorate's frustrations with Washington and his ability to change how
his party is seen by voters.
"This election is not just about what laws we are going to pass."
Rubio told his evening rally. "It is a generational choice about what kind of country we will be."
He said its also a choice between the haves and have-nots, nodding to his own upbringing by working-class parents. "I live an exceptional country where the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege."
his party is seen by voters
Earlier in the day, the first-term Republican from Florida spoke to his top donors and told them many families feel the American Dream is slipping away and young Americans face unequal opportunities. He's banking on the hope that he, alone among many GOP rivals, can make inroads with groups that have long eluded Republicans — young people, minorities and the less affluent.

it can outlast us," she said. "This is not a public relations issue — this is a safety issue for students, and it should be addressed as such."
Despite the fact that more than 60 people RSVP'd to the demonstration's Facebook event, the attendees never hit double digits. Goze said she was disappointed in the turnout.
"I honestly think it's troubling how many people are OK with rape when it isn't
"I think the attitude demonstrated by students is indicative of rape culture," she said. "The people are not willing to face it head on, or they think that it's not enough of an issue to come physically and show force and opposition to it."
Flynn Nichols, an LFM member, said rape is a pervasive problem, and he wants that to change. A recent study published in "Violence and Gender" found that more than 30 percent of men surveyed answered that, if the surveyor didn't use the term "rape," they would sexually assault a woman.
"Luckily, we're not a campus-based organization, so KU doesn't have jurisdiction over us," Goze said. However, she said she fears retaliation because of statements the group makes.
literally called 'rape," he said.
Goze said she and others started LFM about three months ago. It is "made up mostly of queer people, and we are specifically pro-people of color," she said.
Flynn said LFM members are willing to listen to survivors' stories without judgment.
The University's Sexual Assault Task Force is scheduled to deliver its recommendations to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little by the end of the month. When this happens, Goze said LFM will meet on campus to "celebrate this release of information."
"The LFM stands and supports survivors, and we will always believe them and help them in any way we can," she said.
"We're thinking that it's a systemic problem [within the University]." Goze said.

"I have seen how insistent [Smith] is," Sarmiento said. "I have a feeling [the executive team] understood the severity of the event. [...] I know and I sense that they understood the impact."
He said he also met with leaders from the Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council and National Panhellenic Council after Spring Break, so these conversations are happening "on a greek community-wide level."
"We have been working very hard to figure out how we can keep this from happening." Sarmiento said, adding that with Cinco de Mayo coming up, he hopes these talks won't have to take place again on May 6.
Smith said he and the executive team are planning to meet with representatives from the MGC and HALO. The new and old executive teams will be present to "better educate those coming in about the situation and how best to move forward," he said.

University juniors Ashlie Koehn and Jennifer Stern were each selected as recipients of the 2015 Udall Foundation Scholarship. The $5,000 scholarships honor 50 students across the country for "leadership, public service, and involvement in issues related to American-Indians or to the environment," according to a University news release.
Stern, an opinion columnist for The Kansan, said she is planning on going to graduate school to research the effects of climate change. Stern, who is from Lawrence and is majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology, would like to be a research scientist with an emphasis on conservation and education at an aquarium.
