Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Johnson's offensive production could play a big hand in deciding how far the layhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.

Learn how you learn: Someone has to figure it out // MEGAN HINMAN
Claterbos has been teaching Survey of Marketing and Strategic Management for 20 years and offers her students study tips that incorporate all three of these learning methods. She suggests reading the material before class and making an outline, listening to the lecture and taking notes in a way that helps you understand the material and reviewing the slides and your notes after class.
You're in class reading the PowerPoint, taking notes and listening to the lecture. You may not know it, but each person is learning the information in three different ways — reading, writing and listening. "I can't just expect all students to read the book and get the ideas," says Joyce Claterbos, lecturer in the School of Business. If just reading the book doesn't work for you, try writing more or listening closer.
"The better students are the ones who actually go through some form of that
Dallas Wilkinsen, a junior from Fairbanks, Ala., and one of Claterbos' current students, learns best by writing. He studies by writing a question or vocabulary word on one side of a note card and the answer on the other side. He also uses the note-taking tips Claterbos provides.

Wilkinson simply writes down what he thinks is most important from the lecture. No matter your method, it's important to study the way that works best for you, "If it's successful, don't change it," Claterbos says.

The International Film & Food Festival // MEGAN HINMAN
"It's a great way to experience the world outside of Lawrence without having to leave Lawrence," says Sushu Wang, senior from Manhattan and the Films and Media coordinator of Student Union Activities.
The festival is now in its fourth year and is hosted by SUA. It used to be a three-day event, but to maximize cost efficiency, they compressed it all into four foreign-filled hours, Wang says.
"The film from the UK stars Keira Knightly and Colin Firth and features classic British humor, while the Italian film has "a great twist at the end, which people will appreciate," Wang says. Even if it delays your homework, it's a good way to spend your Sunday.
Your Sundays might be reserved for curing hangovers and tackling homework, but it's time to switch it up. On Feb. 19, spend your Sunday at the International Film & Food Festival.
The lineup features films from France, Georgia, Italy, South Korea and the United Kingdom, plus the four best student-submitted films, as determined by the SUA committee. All the films will be less than 25 minutes long and, though the event is come-and-go, there will be an intermission to eat food from each of the featured countries.
"It's an opportunity to try something totally different from [your] everyday routine at KU," says Rebecca Swearingen, adviser for Films and Media with SUA. Neal Supernaw, a freshman from Valley Center, says he is most looking forward to seeing the Georgian film, which is a documentary. Wang's favorite is the South Korean film, which features a girl preparing for her day.

Texas Christian University defense end D. J. Yendrey (94) watches the ball fumbled by Boise State running back Drew Wright, bottom left, in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game, in Boise, Ind. Authorities arrested 17 students, three of which were on the football team, in a sweeping drug sting at TCU on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012.
ing narcotics on Wednesday morning.
The arrests came after a six-month investigation by the Fort Worth police.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mal." TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers on an NCAA college football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.

Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
Yendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University. I believe strongly that young peoples' lives are more important than wins or losses," Patterson said in the release to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
According to Fort Worth Police chief Steve McGee, the drugs distributed included marijuana, cocaine, molly (a powdered form
of ecstasy), ecstasy pills, acid and prescription drugs.
"There is no doubt all of these individuals are drug dealers," McGee said in a press conference Wednesday morning. "These individuals engaged in hand-to-hand delivery, for money, with undercover narcotic agents."
The four football players are no longer listed on the roster on the Horned Frogs' football website and have been separated from the University and are not attending classes.
Brock was expected to be a leader on the Horned Frogs'
defense as they entered their first season as a member of the Big 12 football conference.
The arrests come the day after the Big 12 released its football schedule for next season. TCU
will open its conference schedule at Kansas on Sept. 15.
