Not long ago, Brochmann would have cleaned up the mess herself. But recently, she has been suffering from heart and lung problems, plummeting her weight and diminishing her strength. Living alone means all the hard housework falls on Brochmann. But losing her breath while having a conversation makes common chores unthinkable. "It's impossible for me to do that kind of heavy work." Brochmann said. On a gairy Thursday afternoon, three students with rakes willingly took care of it.

Additional funds that were needed from the Community Development Block Grant went through, so the final phases of the According to Mark Thiel, assistant director of Public Works for the city of Lawrence, the project will be broken down into four phases. The first phase will include construction on the sidewalk of 12th Street between Louisiana and Vermont streets to comply with handicap standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Phase one has been contracted and workers are busy completing other projects before beginning work. The sidewalks "are under construction and should be completed pretty soon," Thiel said. "It's a matter of scheduling. My guess is they will wait until class is out and after graduation, so it's the least inconvenient to students." Phase two, which includes 10-foot decorative light poles in South Park, will commence as soon as the materials are delivered. and Vermont streets as well as lit, signalized crosswalks at 12th and Tennessee streets and 12th and Kentucky streets.

Orange County prosecutors charged Edward Justin LaPorte with felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of impersonating a peace officer and firearm violations. The 47-year-old faces arrestment Friday in Newport Beach. No phone listing could be found for LaPorte and court records don't list an attorney for him.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2011 / NEWS 3A LAWRENCE Lawrence Community Shelter looks to relocate THE COURT MOTEL Pending a finalized date, Lawrence Community Shelter will move from its downtown location to 23rd Street. It will have twice the square footage. BY AMANDA KISTNER AND DAVID ELLIOTT editor@kansan.com The Lawrence Community Shelter is moving away from downtown, which means a big change for its occupants. The shelter will move from its current location in the downtown area to a new and bigger building near Harper and 23rd streets. The date of the move is not known yet. Indecision on the location and slow increase in funding led to a slow development of the project. Loring Henderson, executive director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, said raising the money has taken so long because of the question of location But after the Lawrence City Commission's 3 to 2 vote two weeks ago to continue financial support for the downtown Lawrence Community Shelter at Kentucky and 10th streets, the search for a new location could continue. "We're excited about the funding and support that's come from the community," Henderson said. While the current shelter has just more than 7,000 square feet, the new, more spacious building will have almost 15,000 square feet. The downtown shelter can currently hold 76 people. The new shelter will only allow a maximum of 75 occupants, but they will have more space. Henderson said workers want to be able to take in as many people as possible, but they don't want it to get too crowded and become unsafe. Instead of the current free-forall floor mats that are rearranged every night, the new shelter will have new beds that can be assigned according to gender. The new shelter will also provide three full meals a day. The current shelter only provides cereal and coffee in the morning and an evening meal, but no lunch. Also, the new shelter will be located farther away from the Salvation Army and Jubilee Café. The move won't drastically change the number of homeless people downtown because some may not want to make the move or will not qualify to reside in the new shelter, Henderson said. CRIME Campus quiet over break — Edited by Caroline Bledowski BY CHELSEY DERKS cderks@kansan.com cderks@kansan.com Students came back from spring break to a campus that quietly waited for their return. Only two campus crimes were reported while classes were not in session: a stolen bicycle from Stouffer Place apartments and graffiti on the wall of Oliver Hall, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. The low number of reported crimes was nothing out of the ordinary, said Bailey. In previous years, spring break rarely generated significant campus crimes, with only one reported crime during the spring breaks of both 2009 and 2010. With the drop in crime, the KU Public Safety Office used the slow week to focus on monitoring campus buildings, keeping in mind that there were still faculty and staff on campus. "It gives the officers a little bit more time in the buildings, walking the buildings, which is important because there's not as many people." For tips from Bailey on how to avoid falling victim to a crime while away on break, tune into KUJH-TV News today at 4 p.m. Bailey said the significant lack of disturbances could be attributed to the smaller amount of people on campus.

LIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "I think the original concept was not safety-driven," Thiel said. "However, a lighted pathway would encourage more people to travel that way, and so by default, the more people that are on that sidewalk, the less likely crime will happen. The lighted pathway will act as a deterrent." The KU Public Safety Office has also been involved with the project and thinks that it will be a great addition to increasing safety around the campus and in areas students travel. "We've been aware of it and part of the discussion since the first suggestion came up about two years ago," said police Chief Ralph V. Oliver of the KU Public Safety Office. "We support it. We support safety in general and those things that improve safety." "The lighting project is another layer of safety added to the ones that are already in place, such as police patrols, Saferide program, and the new Jayhawk buddy system," said Oliver. Oliver hopes that students will take notice of the lighted pathway and use it once it is completed.

Hultine also mentioned a plan that would have an increase only in revenue streams that would not affect faculty, staff and students.

Basketball loss bittersweet as a wonderful chapter closes COMMENTARY It's amazing how a basketball game can make so many people feel so much. My heart still hurts days after the Jayhawks' loss to VCU in the NCAA tournament. I never cared about basketball before I came to the University of Kansas, and now one game can make or break my mood for days. I get wrapped up in it, probably more than most. Maybe this is because I have always been emotional and sentimental. I love with my whole heart. This goes for both people and things, and, I've come to find, even sports. Molly To be honest, it's not really the game I have come to love. Watching KU basketball has made me appreciate the sport, but there's still a lot about the game I don't understand. I haven't developed a love for basketball, but a love for everything KU basketball represents. KU basketball is a symbol of my time here and of the person this university has helped me become. I have tied my BY ERIN BROWN ebrown@kansan.com emotions with a basketball team to my emotions about a place, about a chapter of my life. I love this university. I love it for the same reasons other KU students do, and I'm sure for the same reasons most college students everywhere love their alma maters. The people I have met here have not only become some of my closest friends, but have also helped me to grow. The professors here have not only taught me about history, language and politics but have also taught me about life. because it has an amazing basketball team or because I have lived the last four years with no curfew and few responsibilities. I love it because this is where I developed a passion for journalism. This is where I learned the power of words, and that I can't imagine making a living any other way but to use them. I don't love the University just Last Sunday, as I watched the last few minutes of the Jayhawks' run in the NCAA tournament, I had to walk away from the television. I couldn't accept that it was over. I started to cry, just like I did when we lost in 2009 and in 2010. But this time it stung a little more. It felt more real. The final score of the game not only represented the end of this year's basketball season, but also the end of my time as a KU student. Just as I couldn't watch the last few minutes of the last game of the season, I also am not ready to close this chapter of my life. With graduation nearly seven weeks away, I know I must embrace this new chapter. I know it will be filled with just as much happiness as my college years, and maybe even more. I just can't help but feel a little sad as I watch the pages turn. But mixed in with my emotions of sadness and fear, there are also feelings of excitement and accomplishment. I will leave knowing the skills I have developed here will help me succeed. Until the Jayhawks are national champions again, I will probably cry every March during the NCAA tournament. But the fact that a basketball game can make me feel so much proves that no matter where I go or what I do, or what this scary but exciting future holds for me, one thing will remain the same. I will always be a Jayhawk. Brown is a senior in journalism from Wichita. She also is a writer for the Kansan Editorial Board. Letter to the Editor Our democratic society offers equal play for all Although I agree with Aaron Harris and his criticism of mediocrity in the entertainment industry, he misses the point. In a capitalist, democratic society, the point is not whether the Situation deserves his own show, but that he has earned it. Al Roker doesn't deserve $1.5 million a year to tell jokes even my mom thinks are corny, just as the Situation doesn't deserve his own show for being a sleazy neon cheese puff. But they both make a profit for their employers, thus earning their salaries. The success of, say, Kesha has never prevented the success of another musician, particularly today. Established bands like Radiohead and burgeoning bands like North Highlands, the band that sings my ringtone (Google "Sugar Lips"), no longer a record deal. Alicia Keys has 3.4 million followers on Twitter. Kesha, by contrast, has 1.3 million. I like Kesha so little. I have never illegally downloaded a song of hers. But I must admit, when "Tik Tok" comes on at a party, I feel an urge to show everyone in the room how bad I am at dancing. If you can make me dance, you can't be half bad. But is this even a modern phenomenon? Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even though he was so bad at the bass guitar his bandmates turned off his amp at concerts and no one noticed. Kurt Cobain, too, couldn't sing or play guitar (the verse of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has a total of two notes). This article could've been written 60 years ago if only Kesha were replaced with Marilyn Monroe. But today, the talentless don't obscure the talented. You also can post on YouTube, regardless of Rebecca Black. We all have choices, like a democracy. Choose for yourself.

The group I traveled with collectively saw several; the spirit of change was present. My favorite one was near Trafalgar Square in front of the South African Embassy. A group was holding signs demanding accountability from Zuma and Mugabe and chanting. They were hopeful, not angry. I had the opportunity to spend my spring break in London. While I was there, there was one theme of the week I didn't expect; protest. As I stood near members of the group, taking videos and pictures and hoping they understood the mental messages I was sending them (I may be a tourist, but I'm on your side!), I BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com Students should follow the example of political activism abroad There are lots of passionate students at the University who do so much to advocate for causes they believe in.

I'm thankful for the amount of dedication we have here. thought about the likelihood of seeing something like this in Kansas. That said, the amount of people involved in these types of activities is sadly small compared to the number of students who could be involved. In most cases, it's not that students don't care or are ignorant about what's going on. Mostly, they're busy, they don't hear about things or they're not sure how to get involved. The group in front of the South African Embassy was not very big. By London protest standards, I'm sure it was tiny. But that size of a protest at the University would have given me goosebumps. At our university, it wouldn't take a protest the size of the We need to make activism a priority again. It's not enough for us to just say we wish something were different. We are lucky enough to live somewhere where free expression is an option. We should exercise this ability and actually take action to make change. If young people in African countries can topple dictatorial regimes, we certainly have the ability to affect the status quo. These are people just like us. They don't have some special gene that makes them able to take to the streets and peacefully demand change. The only difference is that they made a distinct and cohesive effort. When more of our students start doing the same, we could create powerful change in Kansas, politically and socially. It doesn't really matter what issue you care about or how you begin, as long as you do something about it. Kelly Cosby is a junior in political science and English from Overland Park.

The Jayhawks (5-4) last played a two-game home stand against St. Cloud State where Kansas went 2-0 and combined for 35 goals "We were a little rusty at first, but at practice on Wednesday we started to pick it up again and by the end we were looking crisp," Tyler Cauble, a freshman from Libertytville, Ill., said. for, and 10 goals against. Leading scorer for the Jayhawks Francis Enright, a senior from Winnetka, Ill., tallied 15 points in the games to raise his season total to 42 points, which is the second highest in his career at the University. Enright's record is the 53 points he put up last season. The layhawks won the past two regular season games against the Cornhuskers. Kansas also played a tail league game against Nebraska earlier this year, where they topped them once again. After that game the Jayhawks got a pretty good idea of what team they would be dealing with in the regular season. Nebraska game, and it took some time for everyone to return to midseason form. With spring break over, the Jayhawks needed to get back to practice to start preparing for the "They had a tough time settling the ball on offense, and played pretty much disorganized the whole time," Tim MacArthur, a freshman from Tallahassee, Fla., said. Nebraska comes into Lawrence riding on a March 27 10-9 victory against Iowa State. The Cornhuskers match with the Jayhawks is their first conference game this season. game this season. Enright had three goals and two assists in a Jayhawk victory last season against Nebraska. If Kansas is able to win this game then it will be undefeated this season. This will guarantee them a Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference division 1AA title and a spot in the playoffs. After Nebraska, Kansas will face off against Oklahoma University to end their home stand. They will then travel to Colombia, Mo., for a border showdown on April 22 in what is shaping up to be a battle of two first-place teams. Edited by Samantha Collins Kansas City falls to Los Angeles in opener, 4-2 ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Torii Hunter and Jeff Mathis homered, helping Jered Weaver and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 Thursday in a chilly season opener. Weaver allowed two harmless singles to Melky Cabrera over 61-3 innings, improving to 3-0 in his last four starts against Kansas City. The 2010 major league strikeout leader fanned six and walked two as the Angels won their opener for the seventh win in the last eight years. ANGELS Hunter and Mathis, on his 28th birthday, hit solo shots off Luke Hochevar, who pitched 5 2-3 innings and gave up four runs in his first opening-day start. Kansas City had a chance to go in front in the eighth and ninth, but the Angels got out of it both times. with three strikeouts and left five runners. ASSOCIATED PRESS Mike Aviles' leadoff drive off Kevin Jepsen trimmed Los Angeles' lead to 4-2 in the eighth. The Royals went on to load the bases on three walks, but Michael Kohn, the angels' fifth pitcher, struck out Jeff Francoeur and retired Alcides Escobar on a fly ball to end the inning. Weaver (1-0) had faced the minimum until Cabrera flared a single into left with one out in the fourth. The right-hander, the Angels' pitcher of the year the past two seasons, then retired six of the next seven, allowing only one walk, before Cabrera singled up the middle with two out in the sixth. Hunter, on a 3-2 pitch, cranked a 446-foot shot over the center-field fence leading off the fourth. It was his 27th homer against the Royals, the most he's hit off any club. Vernon Wells and Erick Aybar followed with back-to-back doubles. With runners at the corners and two out in the ninth, Alex Gordon barely missed a home run before Fernando Rodney struck him out for the save. Gordon was 0 for 5 The Royals committed three errors. After Mathis homered in the sixth, Peter Bourjos bunted and wound up at third on throwing errors by Hochevar and second baseman Chris Getz. Maicer Izturis ended up driving him in with a single. Hisanori Takahashi replaced Weaver and allowed Francoeur's two-out drive in the seventh. Kansas City Royals' Chris Getz, back, is tagged out by Los Angeles Angels second baseman Howe Kendrick as he tries to steal second in the third inning of an opening day baseball game Thursday in Kansas City, Mo. Third baseman Aviles was booed when he ran toward the left-field dugout chasing a high pop off the bat of Bobby Abreu but let it fall in. It was called a no-play, but boos echoed again when Abreu then singled with two out in the fifth. But Aviles made a nice play on Wells grounder to end the inning. WIN A $200 GIFT CARD.

REMINGTON Square REMINGTON Square Park25 BASEBALL Player celebrates birthday with game WASHINGTON — Coming off major knee surgery, and coming up on his 39th birthday, Chipper Jones came back to baseball in a big way. At the plate in a real game for the first time since August, the Atlanta Braves third baseman doubled for the first hit by anyone in the 2011 season. He legged it out, even, beating a throw from new Washington Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth. "I was busting it out of the box," Jones said. "Didn't necessarily want to slide, but I had to" He went on to score the season's first run, Jason Heyward added a solo shot, and Derek Lowe allowed three singles in 5-2-3 innings on a chilly, damp opening day, helping the Braves beat the Nationals 2-0 Thursday to make Fredi Gonzalez a winner in his debut as Atlanta's manager. The Braves played their first regular-season game since Bobby Cox retired at the end of 2010 after two decades — and 15 playoff appearances — as their skipper. Welcome back, Chipper. Nice way to start, Fred. "I'm wearing this uniform and, hopefully, I'm wearing it for a long time and get a lot of wins," said Gonzalez.

He took a team that wasn't supposed to even win the Big 12 and turned it into a national championship contender. The Morris twins started playing the best basketball of their lives, Morningstar and Reed were always there to give Kansas a big three-point play (well, unless they were playing VCU) and Kansas went through the whole regular season only losing two games. That is pretty impressive. Self turned a scholarship hall party into Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but as I learned, the bigger the party, the bigger the headache the next morning. And now, this weekend I have to watch four other teams compete for their chance to win the title we were favored for. I know that's the excitement of March Madness, but I will still miss seeing the red and blue in the crowds and Markieff Morris hit the last three that wraps up the game. I know that eventually I'll feel better, but right now, all I really want to do is lie in bed with a big cup of coffee and wonder why I let myself get my hopes up again. Edited by Helen Mubarak Wichita State shocks country with NIT title NEW YORK — The only shocker about the end to Wichita State's season was the location. NIT J. T. Durley and Graham Hatch scored 12 points each to lead a balanced offense, and the Shockers overwhelmed top-seeded Alabama 66-57 on Thursday night to win the NIT championship at Madison Square Garden. Hatch was 4 for 4 from beyond the arc, including back-to-back baskets in the closing minutes, as Wichita State (29-8) finished up a remarkable postseason run in style. ASSOCIATED PRESS After getting left out of the NCAA tournament — and after hardly any critics argued on their behalf — the Shockers left little doubt they should have been selected. They beat Nebraska by 27 points, won at Virginia Tech, beat College of Charleston, then set a school record for wins in a season with a 75-44 romp over Washington State in the semifinals. They added one more victory against the Crimson Tide. Tony Mitchell had 13 points and 12 rebounds to lead Alabama (25-12), which lost for the second time in two trips to the NIT title game. Leading scorer JaMychal Green struggled with foul trouble and finished with 12 points, and Trevor Relefond and Charvez Davis had 10 each. Alabama briefly pulled ahead in the second half on a free throw by Chris Hines with 15:06 left, but Wichita State answered with eight straight points to regain control. The lead never fell below five the rest of the way. Any doubt about the outcome was officially erased when Hatch hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 4:13 remaining that extended the lead to 61-52. On the Shockers' next possession, he set up from the exact spot and knocked down another 3-pointer. The two clutch shots helped Hatch earn the tournament MVP award. Grant will head home to watch his former team, VCU, play for its own championship now. The Rams face Butler in the Final Four on Saturday.

PATRICK RICHARDSON Harlan BAS University of Kansas alumnus Kevin Harlan will be a guest on KJHK's Jayhawk Happyhour tonight from 5 to 6 p.m. K WWW.KANSAN.COM IF THE GLOVE FITS AN Travis Young/KANSAN Junior third baseman Marissa Ingle prepares to throw the out at first base after scooping up a hit ground ball. Kansas has been working on perfecting "little things" like fielding ground balls and communicating better to maximize win potential. Kansas seeks Nebraska victory BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Ten of the Big 12 schools have softball programs; eight of those are ranked nationally in the top 25. The Jayhawks are unranked because of tough losses against No. 11 Missouri (3-2, 6-5) and No. 8 Texas (12-0, 10-2, both in five innings). They did reach the No. 22 position on the College Softball Poll the week of March 22 after the team's sweep of the Coastal Carolina Challenge. Now,after splitting Wednesday's non-conference doubleheader against UMKC (loss 2-1, win 4-2), the jayhawks have switched their focus back to Big 12 play for the weekend game against No. 16 Nebraska. The team is hoping to take the momentum it gained with Wednesday's victory through the rest of the season. "We are all pretty confident," senior pitcher Allie Clark said. "We know that we can compete with anybody and we know that we can beat anybody and that anyone can be beaten. If we play together like we have and we do what we do, we know that we can beat anybody. If we are all on the same page we can do it." The team regained its fighting spirit in Wednesday's doubleheader. Coach Megan Smith challenged the team to get back to how it plays softball and to Doing that began with the second game against UMKC and the Jayhawks hope the drive will continue when they challenge Nebraska Saturday and Sunday. Nebraska is third in the Big 12 with a conference record of 1-1. The Jayhawk offence is preparing to face the Huskers' top pitcher, junior Ashley Hagemann. She is 20-3 from the circle with a 1.79 ERA. play with intensity and drive for the remaining 21 games of the regular season. "They are having a successful season. I respect that program and that coaching staff." Smith said. "They always do a good job. They have a good pitcher in the circle. They have a freshman catcher who is doing extremely well offensively. But if we play tough and we fight, we are going to do well." The layhawks have been working on fine-tuning themselves. The team hopes that by taking care of the little things such as fielding ground balls, communicating and making offensive adjustments, it will walk away from the weekend with two victories. "We are going to take this and not just try to maintain it, but build on it. We are going to come out in practice on Thursday and Friday and work so hard. Now that we have a win, now that we KANSAS VS. NO. 16 NEBRASKA KU N PAGE 8A Where: Lawrence Time: 2 p.m. are back in it we want to beat Nebraska," sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull said. Edited by Sarah Gregory BASEBALL PINE BROOK PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL Jayhawk pitching staff needs to be on point Kansas wants to improve its record with weekend wins against Baylor The Javahwks will take on the Bears this weekend in Lawrence for a three-game series. Senior pitcher T.J. Walz will take the mound tonight BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team will have its hands full with No.19 Baylor, which comes to Lawrence for a three-game series starting today. "They are one of the most talented teams in our league" coach Ritch Price said. "They really matured last year and became an outstanding offensive club as the year went on. They're one of the most physically gifted teams in the Big 12." Kansas has played five teams ranked in the top 25, and after this series, it will have played 11 games against top ranked opponents, a Big 12 high. But the Jayhawks are not strangers to facing top-ranked opponents. Senior pitcher T.J. Walz will take the mound for the Jayhawks in their 6 p.m. series opener against the Baylor Bears today. While Walz' 2-3 record and ERA of 4.13 may not be too impressive, in his last three starts Walz posted an ERA of 2.53. If the struggling Jayhawks hope to win the series, they'll need their pitching staff to remain strong throughout the weekend. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, pitching has been their one constant throughout the season. The Jayhawks have a team ERA of 3.63 and have held opponents to a .265 batting average. Sophomore pitcher Tanner Poppe will lead the jayhawks in Saturday's 2 p.m. effort. Poppe is 1-3 in four runs for Kansas with an ERA of 3.24. "Any time you play a nationally ranked program, like Baylor that has really good start pitching. it starts with your guys on the mound," Price said. The Jayhawks pitching staff will have to be on their best game, because the Bear's lineup has been potent. Freshman starter Alex Cox will lead Sunday's series closing effort. Cox is 0-2 for the Jayhawks with an ERA of 3.81. Baylor has been batting .293 on the year and averages 6.1 runs a ballgame. Sophomore first basemen Max Muncy leads the tough Baylor lineup with a batting average of .356 and a slugging percentage of .490. While pitching has been steady for Kansas, the bats have had a tough time getting consistent runs for the team. The Jayhawks are batting. 234 as a team average three runs a game. While the numbers aren't strong they are slowly improving. 1 Senior outfielder Casey Lytle is leading the jayhawks' turnaround at the plate. Lytle is in a 13 game hitting streak, and during that period he has averaged a .367. Lytle has had multi-hits days in five different games during his streak. The Jayhawks need their hitting to step up and their pitching to remain consistent if they hope to Having an opportunity against a top 25 opponent at home is big for Kansas, and coach Price didn't shy away from saying what the Jayhawks need to do to come out on top. improve their 10-14 record. "Anytime you pitch well, you've got a chance," Price said. Edited by Marla Daniels COMMENTARY Morris twins deserve draft Miguel A. Garcia BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com How do you tell a second team All-American, a mid-to-late first round Marcus and Markieff Morris have seen a world of improvement to finely tune their game, and have worked their asses off to get where they are today. draft choice, and his brother, who has a similar draft status, to come back and complete their senior year? I hate to be the guy to burst everyone's bubble, but I find it very hard to believe the bash-brothers of college basketball will come back for their senior year. Now don't get me wrong, a fourth and final year from the Morrii would be epic. I can only imagine what it could be like if the boys came back to town. Senior night would surely be a spectacle, and if they keep up their trash-talking ways it could be one of the most entertaining seasons in Jayhawk basketball history. The Morris twins were the heart of the team, and they won the hearts over of Jayhawk nation. They were fun. They were hilarious in their interviews and proud in their antics. But quite frankly, the Morris twins deserve to go to the draft. What does their mother, Angel Morris, tell her boys, who came to Lawrence with dreams of playing ball? Yes they wanted to win a championship, but to go to the NBA, to have 21 years of hard work finally pay off, now that's a dream. How does she talk her kids out of chasing their dreams? Their combined draft status may never be as high as it is now. The draft class is a remarkably weak one, and you never know what can happen with injuries. Sure, the Morrii have a lot of fun in Lawrence, but the NBA is a whole lot of fun too. Both of the brothers could end up each making more than $1 million next year, and that's the opportunity they've earned by their hard work at Kansas. Yes, it's tough to swallow, but it's not that hard to understand. How do Bill Self and Danny Manning tell their star players to stick around for one more year when an opportunity for their dreams to come true lurks just ahead of them? I'm sure getting a diploma means plenty to the Morris twins, but that can be achieved through classwork during their NBA offseason if they truly want to earn their degrees. But their time has come. An NBA lockout could be one of the only things to persuade the twins to come back to be the big bad boys on campus for one more year. Or maybe the thought of putting more banners in Allen Fieldhouse could persuade the brothers to return to the hill. It'd be crazy to think the that Morris twins would delay the start of their NBA careers to get one, or maybe two, Morris jerseys hanging for eternity inside The Phog. The Morris twins would be crazy to come back for their senior year. But it's not crazy. Anything can happen. It's sports. V Edited by Tali David --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 4, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 124 IMMIGRATION IMPACT Voices of dissent speak loudly ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is coming to campus, but not without controversy. Students, faculty and community members said they plan to protest Kobach's speech titled "State and Local Laws Discouraging Illegal Immigration: Their Economic and Security Impact," which will be held at 7 p.m., April 12 at the Lied Center. "It's to provide the lacking point of view," Yajirara Padilla, KU professor of Spanish, said. "While the speaker may present a particular point of view, there's no one there to offer the other side. I think you can't make an open decision, you can't educate people, with out having the other side." Kobach, who was elected Secretary of State earlier this year, has gained national attention as an anti-immigration advocate. Kobach helped write the controversial Arizona immigration law that allows police officers to detain individuals they suspect of being in the country illegally. The law also makes the failure to carry immigration documents a crime. Kobach tried to implement a similar law in Kansas earlier this year but the Kansas Judiciary committee has tabled the bill indefinitely. Kobach is coming to KU as a part of the Vickers Lecture Series put on by the KU School of Business. "Whether you disagree or agree with this figure, he is very influential in politics today," said Toni Dixon, KU School of Business communications director. "The University is a market place of ideas and it's always good to have different perspectives." On Saturday, a group of about 25 students, faculty and community members were working hard to make sure their perspectives were heard. The group, which calls itself Lawrence Action Network for Diversity (L.A.N.D.) gathered at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building to create strategies and signs for the Kobach protest. Hands — old, young, brown and white — painted phrases like "free state" not police state" and "educate don't discriminate" onto cardboard signs. Many of the protesters hoped their efforts would help educate those going to the lecture. "A lot of people are in the middle group," Zach Bealer, junior from Great Bend, said. "They are coming to be more informed. The numbers are skewed to make things look much worse than they are. I want people to have the correct information and a different point of view." For others, the protest effort was much more personal. I am from Bolivia," KU graduate Julao Castillo said. "I got a lot of friends who had to go back home because their parents couldn't get a visa and couldn't get a green card. It's just sad when families have to leave the place that they call home. It's just sad" Castillo attended KU on an academic scholarship that allowed him to obtain a student visa. He stressed, however, that many people wishing to come to America lack such options. "It is really hard to get a United States visa," he said. "Some say 'well if they want to come to the U.S why don't they do it legally?' It's really hard." Castillo currently works in Olathe and is on the path to become a permanent U.S. citi- were both reasons for the current amount of undocumented immigrants. "When you're here, the path to be legal here should be easy," he said. "It shouldn't be so many years. Some just don't have the time or the money." While Kobach's trip to the Lied Center ha s He says the pro- cess will take him six to seven years to complete. He said that the difficulty to obtain a visa or to become a citizen sparked protest efforts in Lawrence, it has also created some ethics issues in Topeka. On March 23, the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission ruled that Kobach could not receive the $10,000 honorarium the KU School of Business was planning on paying him. The ethics commission cited a Kansas statute that prohibits public officials from receiving gifts or paymen- The speech will be free, and open to the public. Dixon expects a large turnout for the event. The Hispanic American Leadership Organization (H.A.L.O.) also plans to participate in protesting Kobach's speech.

In London's Trafalgar Square, people came dressed in pajamas, dressing gowns and fancy dress to take part in the good natured pillowfight Saturday afternoon. Most people carried feather-filled pillows that exploded as they fought. London's Metropolitan Police said Sunday that the event had been peaceful and they had no reports of any trouble. Organizers listed similar events in more than 130 cities around the world. The fights were organized by The Urban Playground Movement which wants to encourage people to make use of public spaces. 2010 Census counts forgotten residents of Lost Springs, Wyo. The Wyoming town of Lost Springs can finally count on the Census to get its population correct: four, not one. The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the Census Bureau somehow missed four other residents of the town when it counted only one person in 2000. The cause of that mistake wasn't clear. Leda Price, who lives on the west side of the one-block Main Street, jokes that officials must have counted only her side of town. The 2010 Census, however, got it right this time when it found and counted all four of Lost Springs' residents. The newspaper reports that since the 2000 survey, two residents died but a newcomer moved in.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, APRIL 4, 2011 / NEWS 3A LOCAL Volunteers are 'homeless' in South Park for one night to raise awareness BY KATIE PRIEBE editor@kansan.com Homelessness surrounds residents every day in Lawrence and throughout the country. But few actually take the chance to learn more about this ongoing problem and the people facing it. The Homeless Sleep-Out, sponsored by Into the Streets Week, aims to bring awareness and understanding about this issue to students and residents. Into the Streets Week is an annual event involving various community volunteer activities. The Homeless Sleep-Out took place on Saturday night in South Park in downtown Lawrence. The attendants spent the night in the park and participated in discussions and presentations. Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, held a group discussion during the event. Megan Watson, one of the co-coordinators for Into the Streets Week, said this project was important to her and she wanted students to become more aware of homelessness in the community. "This event is neat because it has more of an activism component than a lot of the events we have had," she said. "It's not as hands-on and down-in-the-trenches working, but it's more learning; and that knowledge will stay with students forever." Watson said homelessness is a situation that few people take the time to actually solve. "It's something, unfortunately, we have become accustomed to," Watson said. "Our main goal is to make students aware that homelessness is an issue. It's a global issue and making them aware and giving them the tools to help change that is important." The biggest problem for homeless people in Lawrence was finding a place to sleep for the night, said William Dale, one of the co-directors of the Center for Community Outreach at the University of Kansas. He said that being homeless is a stigma in the Lawrence community. "When you think about homelessness, you think about the beggar on Massachusetts Street, when that is really not a good representation of them at all," Dale said. "They are hardworking people who, through other circumstances, ended up in the place that they are. On a global scale, you can see it in every city, every country and every community. It's something we need to work to get rid of" He said the first step to helping the homeless is volunteering and getting to know them. The last Homeless Sleep-Out took place in the spring of 2005, Watson said. The event organizers were pleased that a few people showed up to learn more, raise awareness and participate in a group discussion about this issue. About 10 people attended. — Edited by Caroline Bledowski CENTER FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH LAW Interim dean named to permanent position The School of Law named Stephen Mazza as dean Friday. Gail Agrawal, who accepted a position at the University of Iowa. Mazza, who had been serving as interim dean since July, replaced M. A. MURPHY Mazza has been part of the KU law faculty since 1998. He was managing editor of the "He has helped reform the law curriculum and is instrumental in recruiting and alumni activities." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement.

Mazza specializes in taxation, and his work has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court. School names second candidate for dean According to a University press release Neeli Bendapudi, an Ohio State business professor and KU alumnus,"will meet with faculty, staff and students in a public forum from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday at 3014 Wescoe Hall." Bendapudi is the second candidate for the School of Business dean position to participate in The search for a new School of Business dean continues. a public forum. The first was Ali Malekzadeh, dean of the Williams College of Business at Xavier University. A 15-member search committee made up of students, faculty and business professionals selected both Bendapudi and Malekzadeh as candidates to replace William L. Fuerst, former School of Business dean of 11 years. Fuerst resigned from the position in September 2010, amidst allegations by business students of the misallocations of course fees. Bendapudi has been published in the Harvard Business Revue and the New York Times. Bendapudi's most recent research articles include "How to use Language that Employee Get" and "Co-producing class participation," Talking about Teaching, Volume 4, 42-64. The KU Office of the Provost has made an online evaluation form of the public forum available on its Web page. Though the School of Business has yet to name a third candidate for the position, the due dates on the forum evaluation form suggest the possibility of a third candidate speaking in public forum on April 7 or 8. The search process for the new business school dean began in November. - By Adam Strunk SCHOOL IS ALMOST DONE, REWARD YOURSELF THE RIGHT WAY 1 FREE SMOOTHIE WHEN YOU BUY 2 SMOOTHIES WITH THE MENTION OF THIS AD DOWNTOWN | 23rd & KASOLD | 6th & WAKARUS JUICE ST.O.P Lawrence Automotive Diagnostics Inc.

Nick Sambaluk BRITISH ROYALTY Prince William's hairline receding quickly ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Prince William looks like someone who has it all: royal status, a charming fiancee, good health, and an easy touch with his future subjects. But there is one thing he lacks: a full head of hair. It's even more apparent since his 26-year-old brother Prince Harry still sports a luxuriant supply of tousled red hair. Casual observers who have not paid much attention to Britain's future king in the years before his recent engagement to Kate Middleton have been surprised by the extent of the 28-year-old's hair loss. William still cuts a tall, imposing figure, but his bald spot has been spreading as his hairline recedes. The British tabloids have been merciless in their coverage, constantly punning the "hair to the throne" theme, and comparing his hair loss to that of his father, Prince Charles, and the follically challenged prime minister, David Cameron. William keeps his hair short, as befsa a Royal Air Force helicopter rescue pilot, but the military look only emphasizes the way his hairline has changed. Zoe Robinson, another student, also doesn't see a problem with the thinning hair: "It's just kind of a part of him, isn't it?" Is hair loss dampening William's appeal? Jennifer Engelhart, a 19-year-old student, doesn't think he should worry. "He's got the prince appeal and I don't think ... the lack of hair can ever take that away," she said. William's receding hairline has a genetic link. His father, Charles, and his grandfather, Prince Philip. also experienced it, although at a slower pace. Dr. Bessam Farjo, a British hair restoration surgeon who has treated patients as young as 14, said William should take steps now to keep as much hair as possible. "Considering his young age and the unpredictability of where his hair loss is going to end, his main priority should be to stabilize his situation," Farjo said. "Some medications certainly have a track record of stopping the hair loss so long as the person continues to use (them)." Farjo said it has become socially acceptable over the last decade for men to intervene to prevent hair loss. There is a simpler solution William could just follow in his grandmother's footsteps and develop a fondness for hats. SOUTH AFRICA Artists show work in support of sexual violence in Congo ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG — A sculptural bust made of discarded bullet cartridges has a protruding belly with a hole in it. Another bust encased in a large glass case has holes in its heart, belly and thigh. "The hole represents life," Freddy Tsimba, 43, said of the busts he made using tens of thousands of bullet cartridges he has collected over more than 10 years of war in his native Congo. Tsimba and 10 other renowned Congolese artists exhibited work in South Africa's commercial hub on Tuesday for "Art for Peace," a show whose proceeds will support victims of sexual violence in east- LIBERTY HALL 644 Mass. 749-1912 accessibility info (785) 749-1972 THE ILLUSIONIST (R) 4:50 7:00 9:05 CEDAR RAPIDS (R) 5:00 7:10 9:15 matinez-mall-day-fix $6.00! matinee monday-all tix-$6.00! "Through the arts we hope to contribute to the healing process," said South African Minister of Arts and Culture Paul Mashatil. "We reach out to the women and children of eastern (Congo) who have been scarred and whose scars will last a lifetime." ern Congo. Violence is reaching new levels of savagery in this corner of Congo, where competition for control of mineral resources has drawn in several armed groups, including the Congolese army. Exhibitors said the money will benefit a hospital in Bukavu, a large city in eastern Congo. Panzi Hospital specializes in the treatment of reproductive trauma and trauma from sexual violence. Various groups of fighters there have used rape as a strategy to intimidate the population. The United Nations says hundreds of thousands of people have been raped or sexually abused in Congo. The pervasiveness of rape in the Congo is part of what makes it so horrifying — one-third of Congo's rapes involve children, and 13 percent of victims are children under the age of 10. The biggest U.N. peacekeeping force in the world of 18,000 troops has been unable to end violence in Congo. At least 8,300 rapes were reported in 2009, but aid workers saw the true toll is much higher. Survivors of sexual assault in eastern Congo face many challenges getting help because of displacement, political insecurity and a lack of facilities. Asa Runstrom, a spokeswoman for Panzi Hospital, said they give free treatment to all victims of sexual violence. She said contributions would help them continue their work. "We are not here to cry but to look at the strength of these women," said Willy Yay, who helped curate the exhibit with The Pygma Group, an Africa-based consulting group.

Oh wait, it was just a fire alarm. I think it's about time for another Taylor Swift on campus rumor. Huskies vs. Bulldogs. Might want to distance yourself from this match up, Michael Vick. You laugh at me because I haven't had sex. I laugh at you because you have herpes. Dear Safe Ride, sorry about the poopage. I have more important things to do other than sleeping, such as watching frat initiations from my window! Here come those eyes. There goes my ability to breathe. Why does everyone come to me for relationship advice? It's not like I've ever had a successful relationship or anything. So you not texting me back was just an April Fools' joke, right? Right? Dang it. My girlfriend wants to go to a strip club with me. Where's the nearest wedding ring store? VCU is in the Final Four, April Fools' Oh wait. The fact that I absolutely despise you 90 percent of the time turns me on even more. How the HELL did Tyrel not win the Senior Class Award. I voted for him like 30 times. I am also at the library. I had one of the best poops I've had in a long time. Do it. I'm at the library and I have to poop. Go home? Yeah, except I rode my bike here. In the five minutes it took to get a parking permit, I got ticketed. Really, KU Parking? It's squirrel chasin'time. It's really hard to focus on my math homework while my roommate and his friends are talking about their favorite sex positions. Facebook keeps telling me I need a girlfriend. Any takers? I think Facebook is trying to tell me something. It always puts your posts at the top of the "top news," and it keeps showing me pictures of you with your ex-girlfriend. I just downloaded Adele and Britney Spears in the same hour. I think I'm confused. I hate being in debt from college. It's like I owe part of my soul to the U.S. government. A K-State window sticker and a Missouri license plate? No wonder they didn't know how to drive. The more passionate the fan, the more hurtful the letdown COMMENTARY I probably care too much about sports, but I am not the only one. The first step to fixing a problem is identifying its existence, so here it goes: I don't watch anything on television other than sports or people talking about sports. I try to synchronize my attempts at going to the gym with the ESPN shows "Around the Horn" and "Pardon the Interruption," and I take losses by the teams I follow way too hard. In 2002, I was a huge St. Louis Rams fan, and that year they lost in the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots. After their game-winning field goal in the closing seconds, the confetti fell from the rafters, the Patriots' owner accepted the Lombardi Trophy, and I just stared at the screen. I couldn't believe that a team I cared about so much could lose. My will for them to win was so strong that I thought it would be enough. I stared at BY JAROD KILGORE jiklgore@kansan.com the screen until my eyes gave in, or I decided I needed more Peanut M&M's, whichever came first. Then I got sick and missed the next couple days of school. In March 2005 the Jayhawks had a good men's basketball team with some of my favorite Jayhawks - seniors like Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and my absolute favorite, Wayne Simien. My dad decided to surprise me with tickets to KU's first game in that year's NCAA Tournament. It was obvious we were going to win; I wanted it so badly. There was no other possible outcome. They were playing the Bucknell Bisons, who could have just as well been known as the Somewheres Whoevers, and whose conference had never won a game in the NCAA Tournament. Before the opening tip my dad went to get us some Cokes, and came back with this story; "There was a guy in line with a Bucknell shirt on, and somebody asked him, 'So, where the heck is Bucknell?' He said it was in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania and the first guy said 'Huh, I didn't know that.' Then the Bucknell fan said, "Everyone is going to know a lot about them in a couple hours." After the loss, my dad and I watched "EdTV" in our motel room. Neither one of us were laughing. That really had more to do with the movie than the game, but nothing could have given back my ability to speak that night. I got sick the next day and missed that entire following week of school. After the VCU game, my two roommates and I sat in silence for a few moments, parted ways to our separate rooms and didn't talk to each other until Tuesday. From what I've heard on campus and read on the always-trustworthy Internet, I'm not the only one that takes these losses hard. It seems that our greatest attribute as fans, our passion, is also one of our problems. With the looming NBA and current NFL lock-outs, this might be the best time to look for new ways to waste time. Sometimes things happen that you don't expect. We can only hope that something good will come from them, sometimes. Jarod Kilgore is a Junior in film and Media Studies from Lenexa. GUEST COLUMN Community service projects create endless opportunities for students As freshmen, on a whim, a friend and I decided we would start volunteering with one of the Center for Community Outreach programs called Mentors in the Lives of Kids (MILK). This program connects students with the local Boys and Girls Club. Hanging out with kids a few hours a week after school seemed like an OK past time, something different from my day-to-day schedule. I thought of it as a filler activity until I found something else that fit my college goals better. Little did I know my decision to volunteer twice a week at the Boys and Girls Club would actually lead me to change my major and my career goals to education advocacy and after school care programming. Getting involved in service opportunities at the University and in the Lawrence community will serve you for the rest of your college career, possibly for the rest of your life. One of the most academically beneficial service opportunities at the University is the opportunity to take service learning courses. When students have the opportunity to enroll in these courses, they have the opportunity to explore the class material outside of the classroom. They have a chance to apply abstract concepts from a textbook to situations in real life. CENTER FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH I've learned so much about myself through courses that offer service-learning options. It truly teaches you the importance of not just learning to earn a good grade but how to make an impact in the world. Another benefit of volunteering is the opportunity of getting to know a new community. As I have worked with the Center for Community Outreach throughout the past three years, I have fostered friendships and memories that will last far beyond graduation. Service brings alive a community of people passionate about similar In a community of like-minded people, students can share their passion, enrich their lives and work together to make the University and Lawrence a better place to live, work and play. causes. It founds deeply rooted friendships that sink deep below surface-level acquaintances. This spring break I travelled with six other KU students on an alternative break to volunteer at an elementary school and afterschool program in the projects of Richmond, Virginia. We had the wonderful opportunity to work with an entirely different community, and as a result we all came out better friends and better people. I learned more during these five days, working with the teachers, kids and my peers than I have learned in many of my classes. And now that I am back in Lawrence, I look forward to using my new knowledge and excitement to serve in my own community and to make a sustained difference in my life and the lives of those with whom I will work. As a freshman, turning in my Boys and Girls Club volunteer application, I never thought volunteering would have such a profound impact on my life, my education, my career and my friendships. But looking back, I am so grateful I thought it might be fun to play with kids. Emily Lamb is the co-director at CCO. She is a junior in American studies from Lawrence.

Nicholas Sambaluk POLITICS No grassroots here, more like an Astroturf movement for Tea Party When hordes of outraged Americans began convening Tea Party rallies in 2009, liberal critics cried foul. "This initiative is funded by the high end — we call it Astroturf. It's not really a grassroots movement.It's Astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class," then-House Speaker Nancv Pelosi said in April 2009. C Other commentators observed Tea Party protests and saw the heart and soul of Middle America. The people who attended Tea Party events, donned in Revolutionary War-style regalia and waving "don't tread on me" flags, looked more like the 5 p.m. crowd at HOP, not striped-pants Wall Street tvcoons. When voters in Massachusetts — Massachusetts! — elected pickup truck-driving Scott Brown to the United States Senate early last year, it became undeniable that Tea Party sentiment resonated in even the unlikeliest of regions. BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com After Brown triumphed over Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley to win the seat formerly held by liberal lion Edward Kennedy, Sean Higgins of Investor's Business Daily opined that the outcome illustrated "the fact that this is a real grassroots movement and not an Astroturf one" The Tea Party movement likely reached its apex last August, when gold huckster and television demagogue Glenn Beck brought his histrionics - and hundreds of thousands of acyoltes — to the National Mall for his Restoring Honor rally. At the time, Politics Daily quoted Todd Burek of San Antonio, who felt compelled to attend the rally because he feared "our country is headed in the wrong direction, away from the values Grassroots anger — even if it's rooted in a poor understanding of the health care law, financial rescue and how Keynesian economics works — is real. But that doesn't mean the rank-and-file of the Tea Party — the Joe the Plumbers of the world — haven't been played for fools. In an intrepid piece of investigative reporting, New York Times journalist Mike McIntire noted last week the connection between leaders of the Tea Party movement and lobbying organizations working for Asia Pulp & Paper, an Indonesian company that has run afoul of environmental, labor and fair trade standards. our founders put in place." McIntire couldn't help noticing a paradox. "The Tea Party movement is as deeply skeptical of big business as it is of big government." McIntire wrote. How else to explain Tea Partiers' resolute opposition to the rescue of Wall Street firms and Detroit auto companies? But anyone willing to look beneath the surface realized long ago that Tea Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (his real name) founded Tea Party group FreedomWorks. Until last year, he worked for law and lobbying powerhouse DLA Piper, which describes itself on its website as a firm representing "multinational, Global 1000, and Fortune 500 enterprises." Last December, The Washington Post reported that many Tea Party-backed members of Congress were hiring lobbyists from the energy, manufacturing and financial services industries to serve on their staffs. So much for sticking it to the Washington establishment. The evidence continues to mount that Tea Party leaders are just as devoted to corporate interests as their establishment predecessors.

Nothing shocks me," officer Tim Froese said. Kansan reporter Mike Montano rode along with Lawrence policemen March 18 to learn what they go through on a day-to-day basis. BY MIKE MONTANO mmontano@kansan.com Jessica Janasz/KANSAN It was Friday night, the kickoff to spring break, and the evening began with a phone call of a disturbance in north Lawrence near Woody's Gas Express around 9:10 p.m. Officer Tim Froese got out of the car and walked to the two people who reported the incident to briefly hear their story. Soon, Froese walked around behind the car wash next to the gas station. Shortly afterward, another police car drove up and two officers get out with their hands slightly on their guns. One of the officers checks in with the man and woman who reported the incident in order to get a grasp of what was happening. The other officer walks around the car wash as well. About 10 minutes later, Froese climbs back into the car and says there was an intoxicated man who was being loud and creating a nuisance. "You never know if these calls are going to be with someone mentally unstable or not," he said. As Froese pulls out on 2nd Street going south, his CB radio goes off and now he's headed to 7th and Massachusetts streets to investigate a disturbance near Teapouro Tea & Espresso, 712 Mass. St. He parks across the street and walks around the area. Froese gets out his flashlight and shines in the dark establishment trying to see something. "The calls are usually vague so you just have to check things out," he says as he walks around to the back of the building. There's a small empty backlot directly behind Teapouro, but there was nothing but a lit apartment window and complete silence. After checking it out for a few minutes, he finds nothing and he heads back to the car. No more than a few seconds later, a driver does a U-turn to get into the only vacant spot on the block on the opposite side of the street. Froese again parks his car and gets out to greet the driver. He tells the driver that he can't do a U-turn in the middle of traffic. After giving him a warning, Froese drives off. Not long after that, he pulls up into the precinct and ends his 3 to 11 p.m. shift, where other cop cars are lined up and ready to go for the third shift, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., which begins with riding along with officer Tracy Russell. Before starting his shift, Russell reaches for his laptop and checks the taser gun. While driving for a few moments the CB announcer interrupts: "We've got a gentleman outside a Taco John's ..." Russell picks up his end of the CB radio to find out that there is already a cop on the scene. But, he said that when there was any kind of disturbance then it's recommended to drive by and make sure everything was under control. Upon pulling up, there is a man wearing purple tights, nail polish, a necklace and a dress sitting on the curb. Supposedly, he was seen masturbating in public. One of the officers was getting his story while a few of the employees looked on through the window. The night continues with the arrest of a woman who has three warrants and pulling over a man for going through a red light and checking out a call of a drunken man having seizures and who might need medical attention. causing problems. The police officers decided to let the man go because he was not "Citizens never call the cops to get the cat out of the tree. They call the fire department," Froese said. "They only call us when something is wrong. We see only the bad it seems like. Nothing shocks me." —Edited by Samantha Collins the student voice online KANSAN.com connect.interact.explore Student battles cancer, overcomes adversity RELAY FOR LIFE ISAAC GWIN editor@kansan.com The backdrop of the small café mirrored her personality: serene and well-mannered, yet teeming with life and busy thoughts. Her soft eyes beamed with enthusiasm as the conversation took hold. Praveen K. Srinivasan Holmes She was quick to make a point of showing the scar. The multicolored scarf parted to reveal a light-pink line running the breadth of her lower neck, a lasting testament to a life met with adversity. To Courtney Holmes, though, it has come to mean so much more. A freshman at the University of Kansas, 19-year-old Courtney Holmes is energetic and devoted to living life to the fullest. This is in no small part due to her past struggles. Holmes is a cancer survivor. The culmination of her battle with the disease will come on April 15 as she participates in Relay for Life for the first time. To truly grasp what this momentous occasion will embody for Holmes, one must know what has led her to this point. Holmes' story begins in the YOUR PERSONAL OPTION FOR SUMMER SCHOOL Online Courses with KU Independent Study - Self-paced for flexibility - Enroll and start anytime - Take six months to complete We offer more than 120 courses delivered online, keeping you on track to graduate in four years.

Always encouraged by her parents to try new things, Courtney spent her childhood partaking in a variety of different sports and activities. "I was pretty much into everything and anything," Holmes said. "I got to experience a lot of stuff. My parents were always very supportive and really put my future in my own hands." In fifth grade, Courtney noticed a large growth on her lower neck. Concerned, her family quickly took her to a doctor. A CT scan produced images of Courtney's thyroid gland, swollen to twice the normal size. It had grown downward through her neck into her chest cavity, and pushing her esophagus to one side. The doctor recommended immediate surgery. "I remember just feeling so lonely and desperate." Holmes said with a slight crack in her voice. "My friends sent me these huge posters that said simple things on them like 'we care.' That meant a lot. I looked at those posters every day. Just knowing that they were thinking of me meant the world." "It's not all about me," Holmes said in an urgent tone, her eyes set firmly ahead. "My situation could have been a lot worse. The fact that my cancer has a cure and that so many others don't really upsets me. I want all cancers to be curable. That's why I'm doing Relay For Life." In her junior year of high school Holmes said she started to feel very rundown and sluggish. A visit to the doctor resulted in the discovery of a cancerous papillary tumor developing on the remnants of her thyroid, which, if left untreated, would eventually result in death. Holmes was devastated. In April of that year, surgeons removed half of Holmes' benign thyroid in hopes that the other side would regulate itself. Holmes said she never felt truly normal again, but that did not keep her from returning to her active lifestyle. Four weeks later she began her treatment. Because of the radiation therapy, Courtney was put into isolation and forced to spend the next 10 days alone in the basement of her house. Her friend's concern for her well-being taught Holmes that she need to be supportive for others in their trying times as well. This, she says, is why she will be marching in the Relay for Life.

The bunt was fielded by Nebraska junior pitcher Ashley Haqemann to get the out at first base. The Jayhawks fell 7-1 to the Huskers and are now 0-6 in conference play. Aaron Harris/KANSAN SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) quick outs in the first inning, but struggled in the following innings. She allowed five runs off nine hits and committed five errors, including three hit-by-pitches. The third hit-by-pitch loaded the bases for the Cornhuskers in the sixth inning. It helped Nebraska pull away from the Jayhawks for the victory. The Jayhawk offense has fallen relatively stagnant compared to the season start. This is due in part to the calibur of pitchers that play in the Big 12. "We are having a tough time making adjustments," coach Megan Smith said. "We had been really good at that. We had been solid at that throughout the preconference season, but we have had a hard time getting our footing offensive this weekend." A big part of competing against some of the top Big 12 pitchers in the country is making offensive adjustments at the plate. To improve, the batters need to be able to recognize a rise ball and realize when a ball is going to move above the strike zone. "I think our eyes are getting a little too big," junior outfielder Liz Kocon said. "We just need to go back to the basics of hitting and stay tight and not swing for the fence all the time. We just have to stay tight to the ball, stay quick and we will get better." As the first batter in the second inning, Kocon hit the sole Jayhawk run on Sunday when she hit an out-of-the park home run over the right-field fence. Kocon attacked the ball early rather than letting pitches go. "Coach says you always have three types of pitches: the hitter's pitch, the pitcher's pitch and the umpire's pitch," Kocon said. "You have to jump on your pitch and that is what you have to do at every at bat. If you are looking outside, jump on that pitch. If you are looking inside, jump on that pitch. I think we are struggling a little with that but we will definitely come back." Saturday, Nebraska scored all its points off a pair of home runs in the third inning. Back-to-back singles put two runners on base at the start of the inning. Then freshman pitcher Tatum Edwards stepped up and cleared the bases with a straight shot over the left-field fence. In the fifth inning, sophomore outfielder Brooke Tomason hit a solo home run to right field. "Yesterday as soon as they hit that three-run homerun you could see our heads were kind of down, but today we stayed positive," Kocon said. "Our goal was that we wanted to fight the whole game no matter what the score was and that was a win for us, so in our book that is a win for us." is looking to boost confidence and work on the little details of the game. The Jayhawks are hoping to return to the mentality and confidence of their pre-conference season, as well as the continued will to fight against opponents. The team will continue in conference play when they host No. 14 Oklahoma Wednesday. Coming out of the weekend the team "We are concerned about ourselves," Smith said. "We want to be fighters. I am more concerned if they are not fighting. Yesterday, we didn't fight, we gave up. Today we fought at least and we can build on that for Wednesday." — Edited by Helen Mubarak 5 Saturday Kansas Nebraska 0 4 N Sunday Kansas 1 Nebraska 7 KJ N Game to Forget Kansas' offense The offense could not get going against Nebraska junior pitcher Ashley Hagemann in either game of the weekend. The Jayhawks made six hits on the weekend for one run. Saturday's sole hit was from sophomore Rosie Hull. Sunday the Jayhawks fought more, but the only run was a homerun hit by Liz Kocon. Hagemann struck out 18 Jayhawks over the weekend and is now 22-3 from the circle. The team plans to focus on offensive adjustments before Wednesday's game against Oklahoma. They are looking to regain the confidence that they held early in the season. LAUREN Hagemann Quote of the weekend "The good thing about softball is we can erase these games from our minds and come out and get some more wins. Today, even though the score didn't show it we could all feel that we were out there fighting and made progress even from yesterday and we just have to take that and build on it and just keep fighting and fighting." Rosie Hull Hull Game to Remember Liz Kocon, Junior outfielder Sunday: Kansas 1, Nebraska 7 Kocon hit her 10th home run of the season. The homer tied the school record for most home runs in a single season. She shares the record with senior catcher Brittany Hile. Kocon was the only Jayhawk to score during the weekend's doubleheader.

Edited by Sean Tokarz CLUB SPORTS Lacrosse team dominates Cornhuskers BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com With a 20-6 victory against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the KU men's club lacrosse team finished division play undefeated and clinched division IAA in the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference. The Jayhawks showed no signs of rust from their threeweek break. They dominated the pace of the game early and amassed a 13-3 lead by halftime. Francis Enright, Kansas' leading scorer and a senior from Winnetka, Ill., notched another highlight-reel goal in the first quarter. Streaking down the right sideline with the ball, Enright faked a cut to his left toward the center of the field, then turned back and spun to his right, completely breaking away from his defenders. The move allowed him to streak to the net and tuck the ball in the bottom left corner. "My coaches were yelling at me to do something sick, so I had to deliver." Enright said after the game. In the second half the Jayhawks came out with more intensity. Kansas was very aggressive on the ball and attacked the body with bone-crushing hits. "Nebraska is known for being chippy and having strong hitters," coach Dennis Shults said, "so we always like to play up to that." Brian Wright, a senior from Deerfield, Ill., who took over at goalie for the Jayhawks to start the second half, received a one-minute unreleasable penalty for an illegal body check to the head. Starting goalie Ryan Mattie, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., quickly jumped back into action and helped the Jayhawks kill off the penalty. "I was ready to play." Mattie said, "You've always got to be ready to play, and I knew our defense was going to shut them down, so I had nothing to worry about." During the kill, D-Pole Charlie Jones, a senior from Deerfield, Ill., caught a break-out pass in the Jayhawk zone and streaked the length of the field to score short handedly on the Cornhuskers. After the game the entire team was in good spirits, and Shults thought his team played a complete game. "I thought we played great. We dominated on defense and offense." Shults said. "I don't know if their goalie was asleep or not; we got great shots" In his first year on the Jayhawks' sideline, Shults led the team to an undefeated division title and a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. "I have a great team in front of me." Shults said. "They are the ones who deserve the credit."

Both the men and the women's team Throughout the indoor track season, sophomore Mason Finley won six events each, 14 others placed in the top three, and 26 jayhawks set personal bests, according to a press release from the Kansas Athletics department. The Jayhawks dominated the women's 3,000 meters event, claiming the top five spots. Junior Rebeka Stowe won the event with a personal best time of 9:46.34. Seniors Kara Windisch and Amanda Miller and freshmen Kyra Kilwein and Tessa Turcotte comprised the top five. The men took second, third and fourth in the same event. and the women's relay teams have been the most consistent performers. That held true on Saturday, as Finley took first in the discuss, setting a personal best of 198 feet (60.36 meters), the fourth-best throw in Jayhawk history. The women's 4x100 meter relay team placed fourth, but they ran the second best time in Kansas history at 44.91 seconds. The team — comprised of senior Kendra Bradley, freshman Diamond Dixon, sophomore Francine Simpson and sophomore Denesha Morris — was only .55 seconds away from the winning time of 44.36 seconds. Along with Finley, the men and women throwers had an outstanding meet, winning all but one event. Senior Scott Penny won the hammer throw, setting a meet record throw of 188 feet, seven inches. Freshman Jessica Maroszek recorded the third best throw in school history in the discus, winning the event by throwing 171 feet, nine inches. Senior Brian Bishop set a meet record throw of 53 feet, 9.25 inches in the shot put, while Maroszek threw 48 feet, 6.75 inches in the women's shot put to claim her second victory of the meet.

The Jayhawks defeated the Bears 4-3. Baseball team makes progress BY ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com It was a good weekend for the Kansas baseball team. Sure it could have been great, but certainly it was good. The Jayhawks (12-15, 4-5) took the first two games of the series against No. 19 Baylor (17-12, 4-5) and gave themselves a chance to sweep a solid conference opponent with a victory on Sunday. That opportunity doesn't arise every day. As it were the brooms wouldn't be needed. The Baylor hitters broke through and defeated Kansas 12-3. A five-run lead in the top of the third inning seemed to take the air out of a still young Kansas ball club and end the hopes of a three-victory weekend. "It would have been outstanding. It would have said a lot for our team," junior catcher James Stainfield said. "I honestly can't explain how we have two really great games and then just one where it just seems everything is going wrong." An admittedly-disappointed coach Price offered his explanation, saying bluntly, "it's a lack of maturity." He again pointed to a lack of experience and toughness. Freshman right-hander Alex Cox, coming off another impressive start at Texas A&M, didn't have his best stuff on Sunday. He was chased in the fourth inning after giving up five earned runs and hitting two batters. Despite Sunday's letdown the team's progress has been noticeable. The upperclassmen, namely outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle and pitcher T.J. Walz. have heard all year about what they have to be for this team, how they must carry the club. After this weekend, that chatter might die down a bit. Kansas came out swinging. Waters' first-inning home run on Friday night set the tone for the Javhawks. "That was awesome to see him get that," Walz said. "He's been struggling a little bit lately, he'd be the first one to tell you that. It's cool to see a guy work that hard and have it pay off." runs or fewer and Walz appears stronger and more focused every outing. It was big for Waters but maybe bigger for the rest of the team, which tacked on another five runs. With Walz on the mound, he allowed just one earned run on three hits in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out 11 hitters with a phenomenal change-up working the whole night. That marks seven starts in a row with three earned Lytle continues to raise his average and could be moved back in the lineup into more of an RBI role. Where he hits won't affect his mindset. "We have to come out here, clear our minds, have some fun, play hard and in the end the scoreboard will show the results,' Lytle said. It was, no doubt, a much-needed weekend. A sweep could have made it great but two out of three and a series win is what good baseball teams strive for. "We played really well last week and its carried over to this week," Price said. "We're making progress now finally." Edited by Becca Harsch 3 Senior outfielder Casey Lytle connects with a pitch against Baylor Sunday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence Kansas.

You don't need to know how to fill out a double-play in the scorecard or tell the difference between a curveball and a slider. Just give the ballpark a try. A baseball game midday at Hoglund Ballpark is an experience that exists on and off the diamond field. Students get in free by flashing a KU ID.

BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW The wind brushes your cheeks as you gaze upon a neat field of green turf, russet dirt and white boundary lines. A young boy with eyes focused on the field holds a mitt and listens closely as his father teaches him the rules of the game. Another boy shouts "free magnets!" as he stows the souvenirs and returns to his family a few rows back. Sunflower seeds crackle and form black and white mounds under the spitter's feet. Bronzed legs dangle over seats and move only for a snack and drink in between innings. Backs recline and sandals slip off as barefoot fans bask in ballpark sunshine. A lone loyalist belows repetitive chants for numbers and names - stopping only after the final pitch is thrown. Students with sunglasses casually roll in and out of the ballpark as they please does it lack complexity. If you can appreciate the strategies, the signals and the spit, you may be better off than the clueless observer. But with a game that goes pitch by pitch under the radiant sun, no matter your knowledge of the game, Hoglund Ballpark can function as an easy way to escape the usual rush of the student lifestyle. Spinning baseballs smack open mitts. Aluminum bats spray baseballs to all crevices of the expansive outfield. Coaches bark orders. Umpires roar and pump fists as they ring up a still strikeout victim. Trees flutter behind the curved blue outfield fence. Spectators chomp on hot dogs drizzled with ketchup and mustard, and covered in relish and sauerkraut. They dip stacked corn chips into a pool of nacho cheese. A bespac-tailed girl and her kid sister race around the ballpark after every foul ball, no matter how great the distance from their seats. Each ball is the finest treasure a wide-eyed youngster could ever have. Get a few friends together, grab a cap and head out to the ballpark for a weekend day game.

MONDAY, APRIL 4,2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM IN IT T O W IN IT Jayhawks' losing streak ends KAS S KAS Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Sophomore third baseman Jordan Dreilling and junior first baseman Zac Eligie celebrated after defeating Baylor 6-2. With the victory Kansas is now 3-4 in Big 12 play BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team brought its four-game losing streak to a screeching halt, as the jayhawks won two of three games over No. 19 Baylor at Hoglund Ballpark this weekend. The Jayhawks showed signs that their young roster is maturing and improving during their three-game hitting spree. "I think were growing up," coach Ritch Price said. "Now that's we've played over 20 games, our younger guys are starting to mature." That maturation process began to show in game one of the series on Friday evening, when their bats responded well after getting shut out at Missouri State in their previous game. The Jayhawks had 12 hits for six runs in their 6-2 victory over the top-ranked Bears. Senior outfielder Jimmy Waters made a statement that the Hawks were coming to play in the first inning, hitting a line-drive home run that sailed just over the right field fence. "I think it really helped out to get that one run on the board early," Waters said. "It kind of puts a message in the other dugout too; now they're battling uphill." Senior pitcher T.J. Walz, had an impressive performance on the mound, holding the dangerous Baylor offseason to only one earned run off of three hits in 7.2 innings pitched. Walz threw career-high 127 pitches and also struck out 11 batters in the day. Walz, who had an underwhelming start to the season, made a tweak in his windup to fix a body tilt issue, and has been dominant ever since. [T.I.] was special" Price said. "When his changeup is working he's really tough to hit, and that's as good a changeup as he's had all season." "I've been able to locate the fastball a lot better, and I'm not getting behind batters near as much so I can attack with the slider," Walz said. "[The change in mechanics] has made all the difference." The Jayhawks came out strong again in the second game of the series on Saturday. Kansas struck first again when sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon hit his team-leading third home run of the season. Baylor sprung out to an early 5-0 lead after only three innings and the Bears never looked back. Baylor scored 12 runs off of 13 hits and three Jayhawks errors in their 12-4 victory over Kansas. While the team's young roster has begun to show signs of maturation, Sunday's loss showed that there still plenty of room for improvement as the Jayhawks' season goes on. The game was knotted up at 3-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth, when Baylor pitcher Jon Ringenberg walked in senior shortstop Brandon Macias for the game-winning run. After taking the first two, the layhawks experienced some growing pains going for the sweep in game three. The layhawks whifted on a huge opportunity Sunday to build momentum against tough competition. "Everyone wants to end the game on a hit, that's always fun, and I wanted to do it," Macias said. "It's nice to end it on a walk still; I take the win any day." "We could have done something really special today, and made a huge statement going forward," Price said. "I feel good in how competitive we were the first two games of the series. I'm disappointed in the performance today and rightfully so," Price said. "We don't have enough experienced players in the dugout, and quite frankly were not tough enough yet." Edited by Emily Soetaert PAGE 12A SOFTBALL Nebraska pitcher shuts down Jayhawks BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com FOOTBALL The softball team fell to 0-6 in conference play and 27-10 on the season with a weekend defeat by No.16 Nebraska. The Jayhawks fell 4-0 Saturday and 7-1 on Sunday. Strong pitching and poor offensive performance on Saturday contributed to the loss. Sunday the Jayhawks began the day intensely with a home run hit by junior outfielder Liz Kocon, but the team did not hold its momentum for the remainder of the contest. "The good thing about softball is we can erase these games from our minds and come out and get some more wins," sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull said. "Today, even though the score didn't show it, we could all feel that we were out there fighting and made progress even from yesterday and we just have to take that and build on it and just keep fighting and fighting." Saturday Nebraska's junior pitcher Ashley Hagemann shut down the team. She held the Jayhawks hitless until the sixth inning when Hull hit a single down the left-field line. Nebraska outed the next two batters and then caught Hull when she was stealing second to end the inning. Hagemann continued to dominate during Sunday's match up. Total on the weekend she struck out 18 Jayhawks and improved to 22-3 from the circle. Although she held the team to a single hit on Saturday's game the team rallied and fought back to manage five hits Sunday. However, it was not enough to combat Nebraska's 12 hits during Sunday's game against Jayhawk pitchers freshman Kristin Martinez and senior Allie Clark. Clark pitched the complete Saturday game, allowing seven hits, four runs and no strikeouts. Sunday, Martinez pitched six innings and Clark closed the final inning. Martinez started well with three SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 8A Kansas benefits from familiarity between coaches, players NJ Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS Football coach Turner Gill oversees his team during the first full practice of the spring season April 1. Gill said it was too early to determine which players would step up as leaders. BY KORY CARPENTER ■ Turner Gill changed the practice format this year, with two full teams participating at once on adjacent fields. The goal is to get each player more reps throughout the spring, leading to better production and speed in the fall. kcarpenter@kansan.com Kansas football opened up the spring season with its first full practice Friday afternoon. Coach Turner Gill and staff will conduct 15 practices throughout the month of April before concluding with the annual Spring Game on April 30. NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE Familiarity helps after a full year in Lawrence. Coaches have seen what the players can do in game situations and can better anticipate what the players can do in off-season workouts. It's too early to tell which players will step up as leaders. "We didn't have any pads on," Gill said after practice. "When we get pads on and get one or two scrimmages in, then you can kind of see how guys will rise to the top with that opportunity." From a leadership standpoint, The quarterback position is still in question. A decision on a starter could be made by the end of spring, but the coaches are more than willing to wait until summer to decide on the opening-day starter. nobody really stood out on day one. However, Gill said he could see tight end Tim Biere being able to step up as a leader. Mecham, who played in six games in 2010, said he liked the new practice format. "It keeps practice at a fast pace," he said. "Last spring we had nine quarter-backs; now we have three, so it's just a lot more reps. More chances to prove yourself." Returning quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham got much stronger in the off-season, something Gill credits to work ethic and the Kansas strength staff. - Freshman quarterback Brock Berglund, who returned home to Colorado last month after arriving in Lawrence in January, will still have an opportunity to compete for the starting job when he returns in the summer. players more explosive and mentally tougher. He said he thought they did just that. Also, off-season workouts included more running and more weight training compared to last year. The strength and conditioning program was altered this year. Gill told his strength staff that workouts should focus on making All jobs are open. "We don't want anybody getting complacent," Gill noted. "We stated to them that we're going to have competition." Gill also said that, although last year's individual performances will be taken into consideration, nothing is set in stone heading into camp. ■ The array of running-back recruits the staff has brought in only gives Sims motivation. "It just makes me work harder," he said. "They're bringing them in to help us as a team, I respect that." James Sims, who led the team in rushing during his freshmen year, said the workouts were harder than last year's. Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said he thought the staff Sims was also seen fielding punts, something he said he hoped to do this year. "I hope to be the best running back in the Big 12, be an All-American again and lead the team to a Big 12 championship." Sims said of his goals for this year. really pushed the team in the weight room this off-season, improving the players' mental toughness. "We were being tested mentally," he said. "That's what we need, because I felt that's where we fell short last year a lot of times. Mental toughness." Quality, not quantity. With only 14 seniors on the roster, Patterson said this was the best group of seniors he has been around at Kansas. According to Patterson, the biggest difference in year two is the familiarity within the coaching staff and players, which is huge in football. POSITION CHANGES Former wide receiver Keeston Terry is now practicing at safety. Prinz Kande has moved from safety to linebacker. - Kevin Young and Keoa Agostinho have both switched from defensive end to defensive tackle. Turner Gill spoke after the season of recruiting fast defensive ends, bulking them up, then moving them inside to defensive tackle. Agostinho and Young look to be the first players making the switch. — Edited by Helen Mubarak APARTMENT GUIDE 3 PRESENTED BY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN APRIL 4, 2011 Wang/KANSAN Senior from daily Travis Young/KANSAN With its $18.4 million in research funding, the School of Pharmacy ranks fourth in the nation. Pharmacy school awarded millions BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com "Our faculty is on the cutting edge of research technology," Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "The creativity of our faculty helps us retain some of the best scientists in the world." For the 10th year in a row, the School of Pharmacy ranks among the top five schools to receive funding from the National Institute of Health with more than $18.4 million. Money granted by the NIH goes to professors to further cancer and Alzheimer's research, along with other issues of drug formulation and disease cures and prevention. The amount of grant money a school receives is generally an indication of the school's national reputation. This year Kansas ranks fourth in research funding and is the only school in the Big 12 to make the top 10 list. Travis Young/KANSAN "This money is driving the training of graduate students," Audus said. "We are generating the next generation of new drugs." The School of Pharmacy also ranks in the top 10 percent of faculty members who receive NIH grant funding. Of the University's 40 pharmacy professors, 18 of them each received $489,000 for research in his or her field. Edited by Erin Wilbert All of the research money the school uses comes from various grants, none of which are associated with the University. Other contributors include the Department of Defense and the state government. However, most of the money comes from the NIH. LAST STOP SNACK SHOP Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel officially started The Last Stop Snack Shop in September. Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife. The stand is located on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, in front of the Masonic Temple. There, Mandel and Sharkan sell everything from hot dogs to walking tacos, feeding late-night bar-goers and Massachusetts Street regulars. Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel opened the Last Stop Snack Shop downtown last September. The stand sells items such as hot dogs and walking tacos to late-night customers. They were businessmen they had no idea how to even develop a business plan. But now, two University students are entrepreneurs making a name for themselves in the local business world, in the form of a hot dog stand. "We've got it down to a science," Mandel said. "We've learned to work well together when it gets crazy. Somehow, it works." But running a hot dog stand isn't quite as simple as one would think. Mandel and Sharkan, both juniorors from Chicago, had to develop a business plan, present their plan to the Lawrence business community and wait from approval by local officials. Initially there was some opposition to the idea of a hot dog stand downtown — there was the worry that foot traffic would lead "It's been incredibly lucrative, but it's been worth our time," he said.

Gill said it was too early to determine which players would step up as leaders. Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHI FTICS BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com kcarpenter@kansan.com Kansas football opened up the spring season with its first full practice Friday afternoon. Coach Turner Gill and staff will conduct 15 practices throughout the month of April before concluding with the annual Spring Game on April 30. NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE - Turner Gill changed the practice format this year, with two full teams participating at once on adjacent fields. The goal is to get each player more reps throughout the spring, leading to better production and speed in the fall. Familiarity helps after a full year in Lawrence. Coaches have seen what the players can do in game situations and can better anticipate what the players can do in off-season workouts. It's too early to tell when players will step up as leaders. "We didn't have any pads on," Gill said after practice. "When we get pads and on get one or two scremmages in, then you can kind of see how guys will rise to the top with that opportunity." - From a leadership standpoint, ■ The quarterback position is still in question. A decision on a starter could be made by the end of spring, but the coaches are more than willing to wait until summer to decide on the opening-day starter. nobody really stood out on day one. However, Gill said he could see tight end Tim Biere being able to step up as a leader. Returning quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham got much stronger in the off-season, something Gill credits to work ethic and the Kansas strength staff. Mecham, who played in six games in 2010, said he liked the new practice format. "It keeps practice at a fast pace" he said. "Last spring we had nine quarterbacks; now we have three, so it's just a lot more repairs. More chances to prove yourself" Freshman quarterback Brock Bergland, who returned home to Colorado last month after arriving in Lawrence in January, will still have an opportunity to compete for the starting job when he returns in the summer. The strength and conditioning program was altered this year. Gill told his strength staff that workouts should focus on making players more explosive and mentally tougher. He said he thought they did just that. Also, off-season workouts included more running and more weight training compared to last year. All jobs are open. "We don't want anybody getting complacent," Gill noted. "We stated to them that we're going to have competition." Gill also said that, although last year's individual performances will be taken into consideration, nothing is set in stone heading into camp. James Sims, who led the team in rushing during his freshmen year, said the workouts were harder than last year's. The array of running-back recruits the staff has brought in only gives Sims motivation. "It just makes me work harder," he said. "They're bringing them in to help us as a team. I respect that." Sims was also seen fielding punts, something he said he hoped to do this year. "I hope to be the best running back in the Big 12, be an All-American again and lead the team to a Big 12 championship," Sims said of his goals for this year. Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said he thought the staff According to Patterson, the biggest difference in year two is the familiarity within the coaching staff and players, which is huge in football. really pushed the team in the weight room this off-season, improving the players' mental toughness. "We were being tested mentally," he said. "That's what we need, because I felt that's where we fell short last year a lot of times. Mental toughness." Quality, not quantity. With only 14 seniors on the roster, Patterson said this was the best group of seniors he has been around at Kansas. POSITION CHANGES Prinz Kande has moved from safety to linebacker.

First in the residence halls and then in my sorority house. But I can cook — and by that I mean I can follow a recipe without lighting anything on fire. And at that point I rarely have the patience for cooking, especially when a look at my empty cupboard reminds me that I would have to go shopping. But in general cooking requires some preparation and planning. And I never know what I want to eat until I'm hungry and craving goat cheese and french bread. But shopping for groceries doesn't have to take hours or wipe out your checking account.

Mandel and Sharkan, both juniors from Chicago, had to develop a business plan, present their plan to the Lawrence business community and wait from approval by local officials. Initially there was some opposition to the idea of a hot dog stand downtown — there was the worry that foot traffic would lead "We've got it down to a science," Mandel said. "We've learned to work well together when it gets crazy. Somehow, it works." Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel officially started The Last Stop Snack Shop in September. Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife.

Quality housing for traveling interns BY MIKE v mvernon@kz TEMPORARY ACCOMODATIONS Assistance is available for students in search of safe living arrangements BY CLAIRE MCINERNY editor@kansan.com When Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, interned for a lobbying firm in Washington D.C. last summer, he learned about politics from professionals. On weekends, he visited the Smithsonian with friends and enjoyed eating at local restaurants. Despite his experiences in the city, Earles said one of his favorite parts of the summer was living in his apartment. For students who get internships in different cities, finding housing can be an obstacle. Because internships are temporary, finding an apartment to sublease can be tricky. But there are many housing options specifically catered to summer interns. Earles lived in an apartment with other college-age interns, who he found through an organization called Washington Intern Student Housing (WISH). "You live with other interns you can trust, because you're in the same situation," compared to just going on Craiglist and finding a random person," Earles said. WISH matches students with other interns and tries to put them in a building close to where they will be working. WISH also provides furniture, kitchen supplies and maintenance for the interns, who can either pay their rent up front at the beginning of the summer or on a month-to-month basis. Living with other interns also offers security to college students who are far away from home. Earles said he felt comfortable leaving his laundry in the basement of the building, and always thought that it wouldn't be stolen because the people he lived with were other college students. Patty Noland, the career development coordinator for the School of Journalism, helps students find a place to live once they get an internship out of town. Noland said finding short-term housing in big cities is difficult, but there are alternative options to renting an apartment. "My advice to a student, if they're going to intern in a big city, is find out if the local colleges do rent dorm rooms to interns," Noland said. In New York City, for example, NYU and Columbia University rent their dorm rooms to interns in the summer. Noland also tells her students to use the resources they already have. "If you want to go to another city to intern, look at where you have relatives or friends to live with for a summer," Noland said. "That's a way to be creative without getting into a lease." For Earles, spending his summer in a new city was enhanced, not hindered, by his living situation. "I got to experience the city with other people," Earles said. "Compared to if I would have lived alone it would not have been as fun."

BY MIKE\ mvernon@k COMMENTARY Put some spring into your cleaning step The few months before the beginning of summer provokes habits of organization and refreshing your living space The best part about spring is the ability to use the phrase, "out with the old, in with the new." This is the time of year to throw out those old clothes, clean up apartments and prepare for the wonderful warmth of the summer sun. I thought this would be the perfect time to help those of you who are having trouble taking "spring cleaning" by the horns and offer some advice. Not everyone participates in this unofficial holiday, but those of us who are plagued by messiness often view the springtime as Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hey, clean out all the trash in your apartment. Oh, and throw out that moldy couch." Now I'm no expert, but if watching HGTV for hours every night while eating Blue Bunny Ice Cream and crying uncontrollably until I fall asleep tells you anything. I do have some knowledge on the matter. All you need to do to transform your apartment is follow these easy steps: BY BRETT CRAWFORD bcrawford@kansan.com POLAND All of that old food starts to stink after a while, and no matter how much that 15 minutes matters to you, it's probably better spent cleaning your kitchen than it is checking Facebook. STEP ONE: CLEAR OUT ALL THE DIRTY DISHES IN YOUR SINK STEP TWO: VACUUM YOUR FLOORS FLOORS This one is pretty self-explanatory. (If you don't own a vacuum, save yourself the time and buy a Roomba.) STEP FOUR: BUY A CLICHÉ FLOOR MAT FOR YOUR FRONT DOOR And replace them with edgy, new age art prints that no one really understands. This is a sure-fire way to impress any guests who might find themselves otherwise pondering your "vintage" 98 Degrees poster. STEP THREE: TAKE DOWN ALL THOSE EMBARRASSING POSTERS FROM THE '90S Anything from a beer company floor mat to a "wipe your paws" mat will suffice. STEP FIVE: BE CREATIVE! Like that Jayhawks shirt so much, but get angry you stain it every time you wear it out? Hang it up on the wall. Nothing says you're a true fan like a T-shirt tacked up on the wall. Don't forget that Jeff Gordon jersey, too. STEP SIX: MAKE YOUR ROOMMATE CLEAN THE BATHROOM If you live alone, you'll have to execute this step yourself, but for those of us fortunate enough to have friends it's a relatively easy one to accomplish. (Blackmall!) Edited by Tali David There you have it. These are all the steps you need to successfully transform your apartment from a hobo commode to a stylish abode.

Fast food loses its appeal after the fourth straight night of value menu hamburgers. And at a certain point, the delivery guy starts looking at you with judgment. What's a hungry college student to do? Give cooking a try. "Cooking is usually healthier and cheaper than eating out," said Ann Chapman, a dietitian and coordinator of nutritional services at the Wellness Resource Center. She said most college students don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, which can be incorporated into homemade dishes quickly and inexpensively. "Microwave cooking is the best way to minimize nutrient loss with vegetables," Chapman said. freezer burn. Try giving packaged foods a boost of nutrients and flavor. She suggests making ramen noodles with half of the flavor packet, adding fresh or frozen vegetables and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for an easy, healthy twist on a college stall. Though fresh produce can come with a high price, frozen and canned vegetables and fruits have all of the benefits without the cost. Chapman said to pick fruits canned in their own juices rather than syrup. Rinse canned vegetables before eating, because they tend to be high in sodium. Other money saving shopping tips include buying generic brands and choosing lean cuters of beets, which have less fat but more protein. Dried beans cost less than their canned counterparts, have more servings per bag and contain less sodium. The ambitious cook can even save by purchasing a whole chicken instead of simply chicken drumsticks or breasts. Make sure to freeze leftovers in liquid to prevent Simply planning ahead can also prevent overspending at the store. Deciding what you'll be cooking during the week and making a list of the ingredients ahead of time serves as a reminder of what to buy and also helps you ignore all of the foods that you don't need. If you're consistently eating the same foods, try buying in bulk. "I cook and eat a lot of certain amounts of foods, so it's much easier to buy in bulk once a month than it is to go to the store every two weeks," said Jeff Hubrig, a sophomore from Knoxville, Penn. Hubrig stocks his kitchen with giant bags of chicken and rice, a gallon jug of peanut oil and a nine-pound box of oatmeal. "Prices are often cheaper when you buy in bulk, especially if you can buy directly from the manufacturer," he said. To keep the same foods from getting boring, he changes the seasoning or adds lemon or lime juice for flavor. Keep other cooking costs low by saving with inexpensive cookware. Wal-Mart and Target both offer pots and pans for under $20. Swap out expensive ingredients for cheaper items or those you already have. Use vanilla extract instead of vanilla beans or cut up old bread and bake it to avoid buying bread crumbs. Food goes bad within a few days, so only make what you think you're going to eat to avoid throwing out rotten food and wasting money. After cooking, store leftovers in air-tight containers and refrigerate or freeze. Then it back and enjoy the fact that your meal didn't come in a paper bag. - Edited by Brittany Nelson CHICKEN STACKED WITH BEEF AND PARSNIP Travis Young/KANSAN Ingredients: Chicken teriyaki is a simple dish for you and three roommates.

MONDAY,APRIL 4,2011 — Recipes courtesy of Ann Chapman The Jayhawks showed signs that their young roster is maturing and improving during their three-game hitting spree. streak to a screeching halft, as the Jayhawns won two of three games over No. 19 Baylor at Hoglund Ballpark this weekend. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "I think were growing up," coach Ritch Price said. "Now that we've played over 20 games, our younger guys are starting to mature." That maturation process began to show in game one of the series on Friday evening, when their bats responded well after getting shut out at Missouri State in their inning, hitting a line-drive home run that sailed just over the right field fence. "I think it really helped out to get that one run on the board early," Waters said. "It kind of puts a message in the other dugout too, now they battle uphill." Senior pitcher T.J. Walz, had an impressive performance on the mound, holding the dangerous Baylor offseason to only one earned run off of three hits in 7.2 innings pitched. Walz threw career-high 127 pitches and also struck out 11 batters in the day. --ing start to the season, made a tweak in his windup to fix a bask tilt issue, and has been dominant ever since. "I've been able to locate the fastball a lot better, and I'm not getting behind batters near as much so I can attack with the slider," Walz said. "[The change in mechanics] has made all the difference." The Jayhawks came out strong again in the second game of the series on Saturday. Kansas struck first again when sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon hit his team-leading third home run of the season. "Everyone wants to end the game on a hit, that's always fun, and I wanted to do it." Macias said. "It's nice to end it on a walk still; I will take the win any day." After taking the first two, the layhawks experienced some growing pains going for the sweep in game three. The layhawks whipped on a huge opportunity Sunday to build momentum against tough competition. "We could have done something really special today, and made a huge statement going forward." Price said. While the teams young roster has begun to show signs of maturation, Sunday's loss showed that there still plenty of room for improvement as the Jayhawks' season goes on. "I feel good in how competitive we were the first two games of the series. I'm disappointed in the performance today and rightfully so." Price said, "We don't have enough experienced players in the dugout, and quite frankly were not tough enough yet." Edited by Emily Soetaert and fought back to manage five hits Sunday. However, it was not enough to combat Nebraska's 12 hits during Sunday's game against Jayhawk pitchers freshman Kristin Martinez and senior Allie Clark.

Gill said it was too early to determine which players would step up as leader. Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS BY KORY CARPENTER Kansas football opened up the spring season with its first full practice Friday afternoon. Coach Turner Gill and staff will conduct 15 practices throughout the month of April before concluding with the annual Spring Game on April 30. NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE **Turner Gill changed the practice format this year, with two full teams participating at once on adjacent fields. The goal is to get each player more reps throughout the spring, leading to better production and speed in the fall.** kcarpenter@kansan.com Familiarity helps after a full year in Lawrence. Coaches have seen what the players can do in game situations and can better anticipate what the players can do in off-season workouts. ■ It's too early to tell which players will step up as leaders. "We didn't have any pads on." Gill said after practice. "When we get pads on and get one or two scrimmages in, then you can kind of see how guys will rise to the top with that opportunity." From a leadership standpoint. nobody really stood on out ayon one. However, Gill said he could see tight end Tim Biere being able to step up as a leader. ■ The quarterback position is still in question. A decision on a starter could be made by the end of spring, but the coaches are more than willing to wait until summer to decide on the opening-day starter. - Returning quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham got much stronger in the off-season, something Gill credits to work ethic and the Kansas strength staff. Mecham, who played in six games in 2010, said he liked the new practice format. "It keeps practice at a fast pace" he said. "Last spring we had nine quarterbacks; now we have three, so it's just a lot more reps. More chances to prove yourself." Freshman quarterback Brock Berglund, who returned home to Colorado last month after arriving in Lawrence in January, will still have an opportunity to compete for the starting job when he returns in the summer. The strength and conditioning program was altered this year. Gill told his strength staff that workouts should focus on making players more explosive and mentally tougher. He said he thought they did just that. Also, off-season workouts included more running and more weight training compared to last year. All jobs are open. "We don't want anybody getting complacent," Gill noted. "We stated to them that we're going to have competition." Gill also said that, although last year's individual performances will be taken into consideration, nothing is set in stone heading into camp. The array of running-back recruits the staff has brought in only gives Sims motivation. "It just makes me work harder," he said. "They're bringing them in to help us as a team. I respect that." Sims was also seen fielding punts, something he said he hoped to do this year. Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said he thought the staff "I hope to be the best running back in the Big 12, be an All-American again and lead the team to a Big 12 championship" Sims said of his goals for this year. Quality, not quantity. With only 14 seniors on the roster, Patterson said this was the best group of seniors he has been around at Kansas. really pushed the team in the weight room this off-season, improving the players' mental toughness. "We were being tested mentally," he said. "That's what we need, because I felt that's where we fell short last year a lot of times. Mental toughness." According to Patterson, the biggest difference in year two is the familiarity within the coaching staff and players, which is huge in football. --- POSITION CHANGES Edited by Helen Miubarak Former wide receiver Keeston Terry is now practicing at safety. - Prinz Kande has moved from safety to linebacker. st et ?e b d d s of de d lbert - Kevin Young and Keba Agostinho have both switched from defensive end to defensive tackle.

HOTEL APARTMENT GUIDE 3 11 STUDENT LIFE SHAKIRA Photo illustration bv Travis Young/KANSAN A good festivity is not easy to host Four important steps to throw a safe, successful party in your new apartment BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com You've just moved into your pristine, new apartment. Now it's time to trash it. We're not talking a black-tie affair, a warm social gathering or even a casual dinner party with red wine, camembert cheese and pseudo-intellectual conversation. We're talking a full-on rager. The kind of party that, years down the road, you'd never tell your grandkids about. It's the kind of party that gets the geezer next door to yell, "Dag nabbit! The darn kids and their rock and roll music and their funny record players and their." But how is this art done properly? Like a maniacal chemist, one must endure a careful step by step procedure to ensure a successful party. STEP 1: INVITATIONS You don't want to walk around town telling people about the party. Maybe you like to dirty an apartment, but you're lazy. Maybe you're shy and not the type to be personally inviting every person you see. "Put it on Facebook," Courtney Mannell, a freshman from Lawrence said. "More people will know about it. That's what makes a party: the people," she said. "You get to meet new people and broaden your spectrum of friends." With one tweet, you could gather a small-sized book club. With one Facebook page, you've got half of Lawrence. But is that what you really want? Ben Moulthrop, a freshman from Dallas, said that he was just too squished at a recent party. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "It took me 20 minutes to get a cup," he said. That is a party turn-off. "Make sure you're not scrunched up to each other," he said. "That can get really annoying, I've been in one like that, and I just left. It was too hard to walk around." STEP 2 : GET GUESTS TO MINGLE So now the party is underway and people know about it, but not too many. What are helpful ways to improve the social scene? Erinn Mallon, a junior from Minneapolis, enjoys "when it's not segregated and the whole group is having fun together," and "there's not just different groups of people sitting around." You didn't gather all of these people here so that you could stand in a circle with your friends and their cups, did you? STEP 3: ATMOSPHERE "Put on Crystal Castles and have a lot of people with glow sticks and black lights," Colleen Brennan, a senior from Topeka, said. Now, to some, the most important ingredient: music. If you're not into Crystal Castles, you want to keep a dance-electro feel and you've got some money to invest in this epic fiesta, hire a local DJ. If youd rather blare something from your own speakers, consider fluidity of genres. A constant mistake of the homemade DJ is playing, for example, punk into hip-hop. It usually doesn't work, people. Try to mesh funk (Parlament, Zapp, Prince) into hip-hop (J Dilla, Gang Starr, Black Moon) then hip-hop into other hip-hop with more of a rock feel (newer Roots, Cannibal Ox, Outkast). Then rock (Captain Beeheart, Television, Death From Above 1979) into electro (James Blake, Cut Copy, Burial). And even all of that, which criminally excluded reggae, is a bit too quick in transition from sound to sound. In other words, don't jump from step one on the hopscotch court to step eight. So you've got your sounds on point, but what's up with the glow sticks and black lights? "People always have more fun with vibrant colors," Brennan said. "It puts you in a better mood." STEP 4 : SECURITY And finally, be aware of your surroundings at all times, Brennan said. She said that she heard stories of stalkers and creepers who are under the influence. "It's weird when people that don't even know each other are grinding" Mallon said. Invite the right amount of people via Facebook, mingle, play the right music with conscious transitions, bring glow sticks and black lights, and respect the people around you. Follow these steps and you'll be joyous about the filth of your new apartment.

Money granted by the NIH goes to professors to further cancer and Alzheimer's research, along with other issues of drug formulation and disease cures and prevention. "Our faculty is on the cutting edge of research technology," Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "The creativity of our faculty helps us retain some of the best scientists in the world." The amount of grant money a school receives is generally an indication of the school's national reputation. This year Kansas ranks fourth in research funding and is the only school in the Big 12 to make the top 10 list. The School of Pharmacy also ranks in the top 10 percent of faculty members who receive NIH grant funding. Of the University's 40 pharmacy professors, 18 of them each received $489,000 for research in his or her field. "This money is driving the training of graduate students," Audus said. "We are generating the next generation of new drugs." All of the research money the school uses comes from various grants, none of which are associated with the University. Other contributors include the Department of Defense and the state government. However, most of the money comes from the NIH. Edited by Erin Wilbert But running a hot dog stand isn't quite as simple as one would think. Mandel and Sharkan, both juniors from Chicago, had to develop a business plan, present their plan to the Lawrence business community and wait from approval by local officials. Initially there was some opposition to the idea of a hot dog stand downtown — there was the worry that foot traffic would lead Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel officially started The Last Stop Snack Shop in September. Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife. The stand is located on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, in front of the Masonic Temple. There, Mandel and Sharkan sell everything from hot dogs to walking tacos, feeding late-night bar-goers and Massachusetts Street regulars. "We've got it down to a science," Mandel said. "We've learned to work well together when it gets crazy. Somehow, it works." they had no idea how to even develop a business plan. But now, two University students are entrepreneurs making a name for themselves in the local business world, in the form of a hot dog stand. "It's been incredibly lucrative, but it's been worth our time," he said. Mandel said that while the two were developing a business plan, some forecasting was done to analyze the financial aspects of starting the stand. While the initial start-up costs of the stand have not yet been met, Mandel said the monetary benefits are similar to what they predicted. LAST STOP SNACK SHOP.

However, with the gas prices making people cringe as they pump $3.52 per gallon on average across the nation, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, you are probably putting on your smug face. You have already found ways around transportation by car. Ayako Sawaguchi, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., lives off campus with a family friend and without a car. She used to ask her friend to drive her to campus every morning. After discovering the simplicity of getting where she needs to go by bus, she stopped making these requests. "Last year she took me everywhere," Sawaguchi said. "I felt bad asking for a ride every morning." Chris Neal/KANSAN However, gas prices are not keeping Sawaguchi from purchasing a car. She said that she had heard too many stories of car accidents where people have died. She said she did not trust herself in a car and had yet to learn how to drive. "I think I would get in an accident. I get lost easily, and I'm careless," Sawaguchi said. Sawaguchi uses the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels to go to and from her house. KU and Lawrence T buses work together to ensure that students ride for free with a KU ID. Riding the bus can get you in walking distance of most places in Lawrence. All of the bus routes are mapped on www.lawrenc transit.org. Traveling by bus isn't limited to Lawrence. Sawaguchi will take the K-10 connector on occasion to visit her family in Kansas City. It costs only $3. Bus route information and schedules can be found on the Johnson Country transit site, www.thejo.com. Sherrie Pai, a junior from Oathe, also uses the KU on Wheels. She said she was paying for her tuition on her own and could not afford to maintain a car. While she manages to get rides from friends and take the bus, she said it was not always easy. "It's difficult because I can't just get around to different places whenever I want," Pai said. "And it's difficult to rely on public transportation especially when I am running late or something." Stuart Becker, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., is also without a car. While he uses K-10 connector to visit his parents, sometimes he can save himself the $3 fee by riding his bike the 44 miles home. The ride usually takes him 90 minutes to two hours. Becker had a car his first semester at the University but used it only to get home during breaks. After some thought, he decided a car wasn't worth paying for gas, parking permits, car insurance and repairs. "All the costs added up to something I didn't need," Becker said. While Becker said he solely used his bike for "fun and utility," there are health and environmental benefits for choosing two wheels instead of four. Biking to your destination is a great way to stay in shape without having to schedule time to work out. Because you are not using any gas, biking doesn't emit any pollution. www.meadowbrookapartments.net Create Your Memories. [Here].

Pharmacy school awarded millions BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com For the 10th year in a row, the School of Pharmacy ranks among the top five schools to receive funding from the National Institute of Health with more than $18.4 million. Money granted by the NIH goes to professors to further cancer and Alzheimer's research, along with other issues of drug formulation and disease cures and prevention. "Our faculty is on the cutting edge of research technology," Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "The creativity of our faculty helps us retain some of the best scientists in the world." Edited by Erin Wilbert The amount of grant money a school receives is generally an indication of the school's national reputation. This year Kansas ranks fourth in research funding and is the only school in the Big 12 to make the top 10 list. "This money is driving the training of graduate students," Audus said. "We are generating the next generation of new drugs." The School of Pharmacy also ranks in the top 10 percent of faculty members who receive NIH grant funding. Of the University's 40 pharmacy professors, 18 of them each received $489,000 for research in his or her field. All of the research money the school uses comes from various grants, none of which are associated with the University. Other contributors include the Department of Defense and the state government. However, most of the money comes from the NIH. But running a hot dog stand isn't quite as simple as one would think. Mandel and Sharkan, both juniors from Chicago, had to develop a business plan, present their plan to the Lawrence business community and wait from approval by local officials. Initially there was some opposition to the idea of a hot dog stand downtown — there was the worry that foot traffic would lead They were businessmen they had no idea how to even develop a business plan. But now, two University students are entrepreneurs making a name for themselves in the local business world, in the form of a hot dog stand. Travis Young/KANSAN Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel officially started The Last Stop Snack Shop in September. Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife. The stand is located on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, in front of the Masonic Temple. There, Mandel and Sharkan sell everything from hot dogs to walking tacos, feeding late-night bar-goers and Massachusetts Street regulars. "It's been incredibly lucrative, but it's been worth our time," he said. "We've got it down to a science," Mandel said. "We've learned to work well together when it gets crazy. Somehow, it works." The two have faced challenge. LAST STOP SNACK SHOP Katz said the two were relentless - they worked hard, showed a lot of business savvy and set strong goals for themselves. Mandel said that while the two were developing a business plan, some forecasting was done to analyze the financial aspects of starting the stand. While the initial start-up costs of the stand have not yet been met, Mandel said the monetary benefits are similar to what they predicted. "It's been interesting learning how to run a business from the ground up," Sharkan said. "I think I'll be able to apply it in the future." Justin Sharkan and Jason Mandel opened the Last Stop Snack Shop downtown last September. The stand sells items such as hot dogs and walkers to late-night customers.

The stand closed down before finals during the winter semester, and was re-opened about a month ago. The two spend every weekend at the stand, and have seen an effect on their social lives. But now, with warmer weather on the way, the two hope the business will continue to grow and be successful. They hope to hire employees in the future, in the hopes that they'll be able to free up some more personal time for themselves. After they graduate from the University, the two hope to pass the business on to Mandel's younger brother, or sell the business to another entrepreneur. The two said they can see this project as a learning process, and would be interested in starting other businesses in the future. Will Katz, director of the Small Business Development Center, worked with Mandel and Sharkan, assisting them in creating a business plan. Katz said that he thinks the two have done an incredible job in running and maintaining a business, especially with minimal prior knowledge.

Senior pitcher T.J. Walz, had an impressive performance on the mound, holding the dangerous Baylor offense to only one earned run off of three hits in 7.2 innings pitched. Walz threw career-high 127 pitches and also struck out 11 batters in the day. "I've been able to locate the fastball a lot better, and I'm not getting behind batters near as much so I can attack with the slider," Walz said. "[The change in mechanics] has made all the difference." "Everyone wants to end the game on a hit, that's always fun, and I wanted to do it," Macias said. "it's nice to end it on a walk still; I'll take the win any day." "We could have done something really special today, and made a huge statement going forward," Price said. The Jayhawks came out strong again in the second game of the series on Saturday. Kansas struck first again when sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon hit his team-leading third home run of the season.

Gill said it was too early to determine which players would step up as leaders. Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Kansas football opened up the spring season with its first full practice Friday afternoon. Coach Turner Gill and staff will conduct 15 practices throughout the month of April before concluding with the annual Spring Game on April 30. - Turner Gill changed the practice format this year, with two full teams participating at once on adjacent fields. The goal is to get each player more reps through the spring, leading to better production and speed in the fall. NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE It's too early to tell which players will step up as leaders. "We didn't have any pads on." Gill said after practice. "When we get pads on and get one or two scrimmages in, then you can kind of see how guys will rise to the top with that opportunity." Familiarity helps after a full year in Lawrence. Coaches have seen what the players can do in game situations and can better anticipate what the players can do in off-season workouts. From a leadership standpoint, - The quarterback position is still in question. A decision on a starter could be made by the end of spring, but the coaches are more than willing to wait until summer to decide on the opening-day starter. Returning quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham got much stronger in the off-season, something Gill credits to work ethic and the Kansas strength staff. Mecham, who played in six games in 2010, said he liked the new practice format. "It keeps practice at a fast pace" he said. "Last spring we had nine quarterbacks; now we have three, so it's just a lot more repairs. More chances to prove yourself." nobody really stood out on day one. However, Gill said he could see tight end Tim Biere being able to step up as a leader.

The strength and conditioning program was altered this year. Gill told his strength staff that workouts should focus on making All jobs are open. "We don't want anybody getting complacent." Gill noted. "We stated to them that we're going to have competition." Gill also said that, although last year's individual performances will be taken into consideration, nothing is set in stone heading into camp. players more explosive and mentally tougher. He said he thought they did just that. Also, off-season workouts included more running and more weight training compared to last year. James Sims, who led the team in rushing during his freshmen year, said the workouts were harder than last year's. ■ The array of running-back recruits the staff has brought in only gives Sims motivation. "It just makes me work harder," he said. "They're bringing them in to help us as a team. I respect that." Sims was also seen fielding punts, something he said he hoped, to do this year. ■ Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said he thought the staff "I hope to be the best running back in the Big 12, be an All-American again and lead the team to a Big 12 championship." Sims said of his goals for this year. Quality, not quantity. With only 14 seniors on the roster, Patterson said this was the best group of seniors he has been around at Kansas. really pushed the team in the weight room this off-season, improving the players' mental toughness. "We were being tested mentally," he said. "That's what we need, because I felt that's where we fell short last year a lot of times. Mental toughness."

Pharmacy school awarded millions sblackmon@kansan.com BY SHAUNA BLACKMON blackmon@kansan.com Edited by Erin Wilbert For the 10th year in a row, the School of Pharmacy ranks among the top five schools to receive funding from the National Institute of Health with more than $18.4 million. Money granted by the NIH goes to professors to further cancer and Alzheimer's research, along with other issues of drug formulation and disease cures and prevention. "Our faculty is on the cutting edge of research technology," Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy said. "The creativity of our faculty helps us retain some of the best scientists in the world." The amount of grant money a school receives is generally an indication of the school's national reputation. This year Kansas ranks fourth in research funding and is the only school in the Big 12 to make the top 10 list. The School of Pharmacy also ranks in the top 10 percent of faculty members who receive NIH grant funding. Of the University's 40 pharmacy professors, 18 of them each received $489,000 for research in his or her field. "This money is driving the training of graduate students," Audus said. "We are generating the next generation of new drugs." All of the research money the school uses comes from various grants, none of which are associated with the University. Other contributors include the Department of Defense and the state government. However, most of the money comes from the NIH. But running a hot dog stand isn't quite as simple as one would think.

Now, six months later, Sharkan and Mandel's business is beginning to thrive — and the stand is becoming a staple in downtown Lawrence nightlife. The stand is located on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, in front of the Masonic Temple. There, Mandel and Sharkan sell everything from hot dogs to walking tacos, feeding late-night bar-goers and Massachusetts Street regulars. "We've got it down to a science," Mandel said.

Katz said the two were relentless - they worked hard, showed a lot of business savvy and set strong goals for themselves. "It's been interesting learning how to run a business from the ground up," Sharkan said. "I think I'll be able to apply it in the future."

The Jayhawks showed signs that their young roster is maturing and improving during their three-name hitting spree. "I think were growing up," coach Ritch Price said. "Now that's we've played over 20 games, our younger guys are starting to mature." That maturation process began to show in game one of the series on Friday evening, when their bats responded well after getting shut out at Missouri State in their were coming to play in the next innings, hitting a line-drive home run that sailed just over the right field fence. "I think it really helped out to get that one run on the board early," Waters said. "It 'kind of puts a message in the other dugout too; now they're battling uphill." Senior pitcher T.J. Walz, had an impressive performance on the mound, holding the dangerous Baylor offense to only one earned run off of three hits in 7.2 innings pitched. Walz threw career-high 127 pitches and also struck out 11 batters in the day. THIS, the season, is ing start to the season, made a tweak in his windup to fix a body tilt issue, and has been dominant ever since. "I've been able to locate the fastball a lot better, and I'm not getting behind batters near as much so I can attack with the slider," Walz said. "[The change in mechanics] has made all the difference." The lajhawks came out strong again in the second game of the series on Saturday. Kansas struck first again when sophomore catcher Alex Leon hit his team-leading third home run of the season. "Everyone wants to end the game on a hit, that's always fun, and I wanted to do it," Macias said. "It's nice to end it on a walk still; I'll take the win any day." After taking the first two, the layhawks experienced some growing pains going for the sweep in game three. The layhawks whiffed on a huge opportunity Sunday to build momentum against tough competition. "We could have done something really special today, and made a huge statement going forward," Price said. While the teams young roster has begun to show signs of maturation, Sunday's loss showed that there still plenty of room for improvement as the Jayhawks' season goes on. "I feel good in how competitive we were the first two games of the series. I'm disappointed in the performance today and rightfully so." Price said, "We don't have enough experienced players in the dugout, and quite frankly were not tough enough yet." Edited by Emily Soetaert and fought back to manage five hits Sunday. However, it was not enough to combat Nebraska's 12 hits during Sunday's game against Jayhawk pitchers freshman Kristin Martinez and senior Allie Clark. Clark pitched the complete Saturday game, allowing seven hits, four runs and no strikeouts. Sunday, Martinez pitched six innings and Clark closed the final inning. Martinez started well with three SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 8A FOOTBALL Kansas benefits from familiarity between coaches, players SUNDAY, JULY 15TH Football coach Turner Gill oversees his team during the first full practice of the spring season April 1. Gill said it was too early to determine which players would step up as leaders. Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETIC BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Kansas football opened up the spring season with its first full practice Friday afternoon. Coach Turner Gill and staff will conduct 15 practices throughout the month of April before concluding with the annual Spring Game on April 30. NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE - Familiarity helps after a full year in Lawrence. Coaches have seen what the players can do in game situations and can better anticipate what the players can do in off-season workouts. - Turner Gill changed the practice format this year, with two full teams participating at once on adjacent fields. The goal is to get each player more reps throughout the spring, leading to better production and speed in the fall. - It's too early to tell which players will step up as leaders. "We didn't have any pads on." Gill said after practice. "When we get pads on and get one or two screensaights in, then you can kind of see how guys will rise to the top with that opportunity." - From a leadership standpoint. The quarterback position is still in question. A decision on a starter could be made by the end of spring, but the coaches are more than willing to wait until summer to decide on the opening-day starter. SHE is the Kansas strongman. She Mecham, who played in six games in 2010, said he liked the new practice format. "It keeps practice at a fast pace" he said. "Last spring we had nine quarterbacks; now we have three, so it's just a lot more reps. More chances to prove yourself." nobody really stood out on day one. However, Gill said he could see tight end Tim Biere being able to step up as a leader. Returning quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham got much stronger in the off-season, something Gill credits to work ethic and the Kansas strength staff Freshman quarterback Brock Berglund, who returned home to Colorado last month after arriving in Lawrence in January, will still have an opportunity to compete for the starting job when he returns in the summer. The strength and conditioning program was altered this year. Gill told his strength staff that workouts should focus on making All jobs are open. "We don't want anybody getting complacent," Gill noted. "We stated to them that we're going to have competition." Gill also said that, although last year's individual performances will be taken into consideration, nothing is set in stone heading into camp. The array of running-back recruits the staff has brought in only gives Sims motivation. "It just makes me work harder," he said. "They're bringing them in to help us as a team. I respect that." James Sims, who led the team in rushing during his freshmen year, said the workouts were harder than last year's. Sims was also seen fielding punts, something he said he hoped to do this year. players more explosive and mentally tougher. He said he thought they did just that. Also, off-season workouts included more running and more weight training compared to last year. According to Patterson, the biggest difference in year two is the familiarity within the coaching staff and players, which is huge in football. "I hope to be the best running back in the Big 12, be an All-American again and lead the team to a Big 12 championship," Sims said of his goals for this year. Quality, not quantity. With only 14 seniors on the roster, Patterson said this was the best group of seniors he has been around at Kansas. Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said he thought the staff really pushed the team in the weight room this off-season, improving the players' mental toughness. "We were being tested mentally," he said. "That's what we need, because I felt that where we fell short last year a lot of times. Mental toughness." 1 POSITION CHANGES - Prinz Kande has moved from safety to linebacker. - Former wide receiver Keeston Terry is now practicing at safety. - Kevin Young and Keba Agostinho have both switched from defensive end to defensive tackle. Turner Gill spoke after the season of recruiting fast defensive ends, bulking them up, then moving them inside to defensive tackle. Agostinho and Young look to be the first players making the switch. libert Edited by Helen Mubarak APARTMENT GUIDE 3 19 UNLIMITED FUN LIMITED VACANCIES. BRING IN THIS AD AND SAVE $250!

The University Daily Kansan is now hiring for the summer and fall 2011 semesters. A headline published Monday on page 4A should have read "Artists show work in support of victims of sexual violence." Email editor@kansan.com with questions about job descriptions or requirements. Additional openings for the summer and fall semesters will be posted after a new editor and business manager are hired. EAGLE The article, "Lawrence police respond to city disturbances;" published Monday on page 6A incorrectly referred to the professional radio system the Lawrence Police Department uses as CB radio. It also incorrectly referred to a police dispatcher as a CB announcer and incorrectly attributed a quote to Tim Froese instead of Tracy Russell. The article, "Lawrence Community Shelter looks to relocate," which was published on Friday, April 1, reported that a location near 23rd and Harper streets had been chosen for a new shelter. That report was incorrect. The search for a new site is ongoing. Also, a sentence, which said a new shelter would allow only 75 occupants instead of 76, was incorrect. The Lawrence City Commission voted to decrease occupancy in the current shelter because of fire code concerns. A new shelter would hold up to 125 occupants. The Kansan regrets these errors.

Clark, a retention specialist in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, chose to add to the canvas labeled the "Free for All board." She said themed boards are too much pressure and would rather paint whatever comes to mind. Clark's flower is a part of a large collaboration of students and faculty to create the University's first mural. The project, lasting through Friday, encourages students to contribute to any of the four murals, regardless of artistic talent. "This project shows anybody can be an artist, you don't have to be Picasso to paint," Laurie Gallagher, a senior from Lenexa and the assistant coordinator of the event, said. PANEL 10 Each mural has a theme — "KU", "Pieces of Me", "Free for All", and "I love or am inspired by". Gallagher said that Student Union Activities wanted to separate each board into themes in order to "catch a specific focus, so people can make it more meaningful and express themselves." Travis Young/KANSAN Travis Young/KANSAN Camille Clark, a multicultural affairs worker, paints a flower on the Free for All canvas Monday afternoon at the Kansas Union for SUAS Campus Mural Project. Clark said that she stopped to paint because she was interested in what was going on. There were four different canvases open to the public to paint on in the painting event that will continue all week long. Provost's planning groups publish work ADMINISTRATION The completed murals will be displayed in the Union Gallery during finals week. SUA is trying to put the murals on display in other venues, but nothing has been finalized. over specific changes to the academic and administrative goals of the University. Provost Jeff Vitter and his staff have been involved in a massive project to fundamentally improve the University's working structure this year. Some of the work is now being published. Several workgroups with strategic planning initiative, the multi-pronged group, released preliminary reports Monday. The reports cover meetings Alex Garrison Vitter says he wants student and faculty to give feedback to these reports. There will be town hall meetings at noon Wednesday in the Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union and at noon on Thursday in the Summerfield Room of the Adams Alumni Center. Jerry Wang/KANSAN Chemicals found in parking garage cause concern CAMPUS HACKNESS.1 "It gives you a sense of ownership," Clark said. "You have something everybody worked on and everyone can see." Serry Wang/KRASM A half-full bottle containing biodiesel and heptane was found in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage Monday morning. The origins of the bottle were unknown, but the label identified it as coming from Molf Hall, which is where the chemistry department is located. Around 10:45 a.m., a hazardous materials team, two fire trucks and multiple KU public safety officers responded to a report of a suspicious bottle in the Allen Field parking garage BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com The responding units found a half-full plastic container, which resembled a Gatorade bottle, labeled as containing biodiesel and heptane. Heptane is a stable, non-polar solvent that causes minor irritation at exposure. "We're not taking any chances. Just because the bottle is labeled what it says it is, there's no way of knowing that's what's in the bottle," said KU Public Safety Capt. Schuyler Bailey. "The hazmat crew will secure it and remove it." Although the origins of the bottle are unknown, the label on the bottle identified it as coming from Malot Hall, where the chemistry department is located. Bailey said officials were allowing people in the garage because the bottle was not located close to the entrances.

"The Kennedys" make a big debut LOS ANGELES — "The Kennedys" may not have earned many adoring reviews, but the miniseries did set a record for the previously little-known ReelzChannel. Sunday's premiere of the sprawling eight-hour epic about the American political dynasty, starring Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes and Tom Wilkinson, delivered 1.9 million total viewers in its original airing plus an encore immediately afterward, according to the Nielsen Co. The first airing earned a 1.7 household rating, well past the goal the network set of a 1.0 rating. The Up'til Dawn Executive Board application deadline has been extended to Friday April 8th. Applications may be found on our website http://groupsku.edu/ -utildawn/ and should be turned in to our cubicle in the SILC Office by 5PM. Needless to say, "The Kennedys"—which was dumped from the History channel schedule after historians and Kennedy family defenders complained about its accuracy—is the most watched program in the history of ReelzChannel, a 5-year-old outlet best known for airing movies, trailers and movie-review shows.

GOVERNMENT Wisconsin professor rightfully practices freedom of speech The Wisconsin Republican Party strikes again only this time something that we hold dear as scholars and students is on the line. The current battle being fought between Wisconsin Republicans and University of Wisconsin-Madison history professor William Cronon reminds us, as students, not to take our professors' freedom of speech for granted. On March 15th Cronon wrote a public blog post concerning Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's policy agenda and the sway of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative group in the state. Producing nearly half a million hits the blog post shed light on the not-so-obvious connection between the Governor and the interest group. Unsurprisingly, the Wichita based Koch Industries' Koch brothers play a role in this saga as one of the main financial supporters of the American Legislative Exchange Council. In response to Professor Cronon's provocative blog post, the Wisconsin P. BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com Republican Party requested the University of Wisconsin-Madison to hand over copies of all e-mail communication to or from Cronon's university account that included terms such as "Republican," "Scott Walker, " and "union." They claim their demand is legal and justified based on the Wisconsin Open Records Law and the fact that the contents of his public university e-mail account are public property. As the president-elect of the American Historical Association, Cronon is clearly a reputable figure in the field of history. Cronon claims on his blog "Scholar as Citizen" that the Republicans' request will reveal nothing incriminating and that he does not use the account for personal use. However, the real story here is the chilling effect requests such as these create in the academic world Don't get me wrong, I fully support the use of the open-records laws such as Wisconsin's but only when they are used in the appropriate circumstances. There are incidents, such as with Watergate, when the public ought to have access to internal government communication. But in this case the Republican Party of Wisconsin is misusing the open-records policy to intimidate and, in a way, coerce, a influential scholar from sharing his opinion on a public issue. I can only hope that these scare tactics will not scare academics like Cronon from enlightening us on other issues such as what is happening in Wisconsin. Luckily, this chilling effect has not yet reached KU. As Cronon writes in his blog, "... this particular request demonstrates that they also have the potential to be abused in ways that discourage dissent and undermine democracy." Open records laws were originally planned to do the exact opposite of what Cronon warns. They were intended to ensure governments at all levels were acting in a lawful and democratic manner and that citizens could enjoy full transparency when needed. As our own Kansan reports, members of the University faculty intend to participate in the protest of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's speech on illegal immigration issues on April 12 at the Lied Center. I'm proud that our professors feel motivated and passionate enough to join students in raising awareness on a social issue. I'm even more proud that they are allowed to freely express their opinion. This makes me, for now, proud to be a student at KU and even more proud to be a Kansan. Adams is a junior majoring in international studies and political science from Overland Park. The Weekly Poll KANSAN.COM Do you think alcohol should be served on campus? □Yes □No □Only for special occasions Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS COMMENTARY This anniversary, remember the Civil War veterans who died preserving our country Saturday, April 9 marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. The war took countless lives, abolished slavery and converted our country from a loose collection of states into a unified nation. It was a transformative event on par with the American Revolution. To commemorate this momentous event, many Southern states are celebrating Confederate History Month, which is exactly what it sounds like. In addition, Confederate Memorial Day is celebrated in one form or another eight states, including North and South Carolina, and twice in Texas. This makes perfect sense, because nothing shows that you love America like honoring a group of people who actively fought against it. The celebrations in these states tend to forget that slavery was the major cause of the Civil War and instead focus on how awesome guys like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were. The championing of Confederate heroes like Lee and Jackson and the omission of slavery are part of an ideology known as the "Lost Cause of the Confederacy" If you think I'm exaggerating, look at the Civil War in popular culture. Hardly any movies about the civil war feature Union protagonists. From "Birth of a Nation" to "Gone With the Wind" to "The Outlaw Josey Wales" to "Jonah Hex" to "Cold Mountain" to AMC's upcoming TV show "Hell On Wheels", pop culture regularly cast Confederates as the It's an intellectual movement that attempts to portray the Confederacy in a more favorable light. Slavierung is no longer the cause of the war, but states' rights. Confederate leaders are portrayed as chivalrous gentlemen, while Union heroes are casually dismissed. U.S. Grant is portrayed as a boozehound, the abolitionist John Brown as a psychopathic killer. The North is portrayed as a gang of bullies encroaching on Southern freedom. They attempt to retell the Civil War with the Confederacy as the heroes and they've been very successful with it. BY LOU SCHUMAKER lschumaker@kansan.com heroes of the story. The Confederacy wasn't some quirky aspect of Southern culture that needs to be appreciated. To borrow a phrase from Aaron Sorkin, they weren't wearing wooden shoes; they were fighting a war that would literally destroy America. Robert E. Lee is a celebrated war hero and an undeniable genius on the battlefield. Confederate supporters like to point out that he detested both slavery and secession and only served in the Confederacy due to his loyalty to Virginia. However, people did not always feel that way. Fellow Southerner and staunch Unionist Montgomery Meigs hated Lee so much, he established the new national cemetery in Lee's front yard at Arlington so he could never return home. Henry Adams wrote "I think Lee should have been hanged. It was all the worse that he was a good man... It's always the good men who do the most harm." The fall of the Confederacy led directly to the establishment of the KKK, as famously depicted in "Birth of a Nation" and since then, supporters of the Confederacy have been chanting "the South will rise again!" So, when the anniversary of Lee's surrender at Appomatax rolls around, honor those who died preserving our country, not the traitors who tried to destroy it. I don't think the Confederates were evil men, but they were the antagonists in a war to preserve america Schumaker is a junior majoring in film and media studies from Overland Park. POLITICS Cutting education budget only digs economy into deeper holes Around the country, labor is under attack. In Ohio, Wisconsin and several other states, for example, lawmakers are trying to push anti-collective bargaining bills through. In Missouri, a senator proposed repealing child labor laws. A group of Republicans in the national House are trying to pass a bill that would deny food stamps to any family where a family member was engaged in a strike. Women, children, students, immigrants, the disabled and now labor and teachers—in other words, the nightmare of our destructive current government continues. In Wisconsin, there has been an enormous outcry over the last couple of months at the attempts of Gov. Scott Walker and his Republicans in government to strip public-sector unions, including teachers' unions, of their collective bargaining rights. Walker says that this is necessary to fix a state budget shortfall. The unions have capita lated somewhat by agreeing to accept a decrease in benefits, but they refuse to give up collective bargaining. Think about this. Walker claims that the solution to his deficit is denying employees their right to speak for themselves and have a say in the terms of their employment. First, when you want to fix a problem, you look at what caused the problem and change that. As I've argued before, Republicans don't seem too keen on that and instead of examining tax breaks for millionaires and other truly wasteful expenditures, they are tearing at the bits to destroy their favorite scapegoats in the name of deficit reduction. In this case, it's unions and those lazy, lazy public school teachers. Collective bargaining did not cause this recession. Collective bargaining is a way for adults to have a say in the circumstances of their work. Second, to borrow one of my favorite phrases from the Simpsons, won't somebody please think of the children? When public sector pay is being discussed, we're also talking about education and those who provide it. It may sound soft or trite, but a good education is fundamental to a democracy and individual success. A proper education builds agency, critical thinking, and creativity and has the power to raise people out of their circumstances to something better. In other words, this is not something to mess around with lightly. 102786949157251329758002402536250253625 BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com There are certainly problems with public education and teacher compensation. In "Teacher Quality, Teacher Pay," published in the Hoover Institute's Policy Review, Frederick Hess points out that overall, the issue isn't that teachers are underpaid. It's that the most-deserving and hardest-working teachers, those who put in the most hours or work for the worst districts, for example, earn the same or less than the average teacher. There is yet no reliable standard of performance that encompasses the various responsibilities and individual circumstances of each teacher and classroom. This often discourages the best potential teachers from pursuing a career in education. So if we want to work on education and improve the quality of our teachers and the intellect and agency of our students, let's do that. There's plenty of room for reform, and far more perspectives than mentioned here. Attacking teachers and their unions in the name of deficit reduction, however, is precisely the wrong way to go about it. Some teachers get paid too much, some too little, so money should be moved around and plans created to make sure this is done fairly, before taking a broad swipe with questionable motives at education in general and scaring away even more talented potential teachers. As I've said before, we ought to focus on less potentially devastating ways to fix our economy—fixing the corporate tax code, for instance, or stopping the practice of giving out contracts for unnecessary technology for the military or NASA. Regardless of the problems within the education system, chopping benefits and pay to public sector unions won't help anyone.

Chris Bronson/KANSAN Senior catcher Brittany Hile prepares to slap down a sacrifice bunt during Sunday afternoon's game against Nebraska at Arrocha Ballpark. Hile was selected by the NPF Diamonds in the National Pro Fastpitch League's annual Senior Draft on March 18. HILE (CONTINUED FROM 10A) The drafting process is fairly straightforward. There are four teams in the league and the team with the worst record for past year has the first pick in the five rounds of the draft. Hile was selected as the 15th pick overall and will join the Diamonds after her senior season at Kansas. "Coach Smith asked if I was interested in playing pro-ball and I had always thought about it and knew that it was an opinion," Hile said, "But I never really pursued it until coach talked to me about it. Then the coach got in contact with me and I just got really excited and interested and so I looked into it and decided that it was something I would like to give a try." pick-offs. Her time at playing for Kansas has prepared her for pro-ball and her numbers and personality attracted the attention of the NPF Diamonds' coaching staff.

ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON (AP) — The only thing that could stop Kemba Walker and Connecticut's amazing run was the final buzzer. On a night when the massive arena felt like a dusty old gym, UConn made Butler look like the underdog it really was, winning the national championship Monday night with an old-fashioned, grinding 53-41 beatdown of the Bulldogs. Walker finished with 16 points for the Huskies (32-9), who won their 11th straight game since closing the regular season with a 9-9 Big East record that foreshadowed none of this. They closed it out with a defensive showing for the ages, holding Butler to a 12-for-64 shooting. That's 18.8 percent, the worst ever in a title game. It was one of the ugliest games anyone can remember on the sport's biggest stage. But definitely the kind of game a grizzled old coach like Jim Calhoun could love. At age 68, he became the oldest coach to win the NCAA championship and joined John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as only the fifth coach to win three NCAA titles. "It may be the happiest moment of my life," Calhoun said. UConn trailed 22-19 after a first half that came straight out of the '40s. Calhoun coaxed this win out of his team by accepting the reality that the rim looked about as wide as a pancake on a cold-shooting, defensive-minded night in Houston. He did it by making his players pound the ball inside and insisting on the kind of defense that UConn played during this remarkable run, but which often got overshadowed by Walker's theories. During that time, a 25-19 lead turned into a 41-28 deficit. This for a team that never trailed Duke by more than six during last year's epic final. a mind-numbing 13 minutes, 26 seconds in the second half making only one field goal. KU ENDOWMENT The University of Kansas ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The University of Kansas GET INVOLVED STAY INVOLVED That time, Gordon Hayward's desperation halfcourt heave bounced off the backboard and rim, barely missing. This time, UConn was celebrating before the buzer sounded, Calhoun pumping his fists and hugging an assistant while the Huskies ran to the sideline and soaked in the confetti. The version of "Hoosiers" with the happy ending is still available on DVD. And so they did. Amber Jackson "The halftime speech was rather interesting," Calhoun said. "The adjustment was, we were going to out-will them and outwork them." UConn, meanwhile, gets the real celebration. What I love most about being involved on campus is knowing that I helped shape someone else's experience at KU. Not only is it a lot of fun, but getting involved allows me to gain "real world" experience for my future. I have developed professional relationships with individuals who will act as references for me in the future. As an alumna, I plan to join the Black Alumni Chapter, be a mentor and eventually give back to KU." Connecticut outscored Butler by an unthinkable 26-2 in the paint.

He learned to play golf by mirroring his father's golf swing, and he has used left handed golf clubs ever since. intotherough.co.uk The dance of the NCAA coaches MORNING BREW College coaching positions cause unrealistic fantasies Jason Whitlock has never shied away from writing any of his controversial opinions in his columns. I remember hearing many people complain about the stances he took during his time at the Kansas City Star. Recently Whitlock tweeted that if Frank Martin left Kansas State for the now open University of Miami job, former Kansas coach and current North Carolina coach Roy Williams would come to K-State. Let me say that this would absolutely never happen, and I believe that Whitlock doesn't think it will either. But he threw it out there to get a reaction from gullible naive tweeters that he often refers to as "palinites." This move would never happen because Williams always said he could never be the away team in Allen Fieldhouse because of his fondness of his time at Kansas. But this does open the door for me to explore many potential moves of coaches (even if they are unrealistic) around the college ranks as the season is now under wraps. First, Frank Martin leaves for Miami This is good because no one at Kansas BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW really likes Frank Martin. His players claim he is a great guy to play for, but his on-court tirades leave me thinking otherwise. But if Martin did leave, I wouldn't get to see him go off on his players anymore when Kansas is handling K-State their bi-annual loss. Second, Shaka Smart leaves Virginia Commonwealth and replaces Frank Martin at K-State. There is nothing I would like more than to see the Jayhawks get the chance to avenge their Elite Eight loss to Smart by getting two cracks at him next year. This is also unlikely to happen because a) as of my writing this, Frank Martin is still at K-State, and b) Smart is staying at VCU after signing an eight-year extension with a hefty pay raise Monday. But it would keep the fiery rivalry going, and the online message boards would be filled with banter from both fan bases in anticipation of Self-Smart round two The most far-fetched coaching carousel move I will throw out is an extreme hypothetical I actually wouldn't like. Following the National Championship game, Brad Stevens leaves Butler to replace a retiring Jim Calhoun at Connecticut. Let's face it, Jim Calhoun is 68 years old, and the oldest coach to ever win a NCAA Championship (this was written before Monday night's championship game) is KU's own Phog Allen at 66. And who better to replace him than a young guy who took his mid-major team to the championship game two years in a row? If I were a fan of UConn, that would be a dream situation for me. But I'm not, so here's to hoping that Brad Stevens stays at Butler.

A SHOT AT THE BIG LEAGUES PAGE 10A Senior catcher drafted into pro league Photo illustration by Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN Brittany Hile was drafted to the Diamonds, one of four teams in the National Pro Fastpitch League. BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Many children grow up dreaming or playing professional sports, but only a small number of people reach that level. Senior catcher Brittany Hile has reached that level after playing as Kansas' starting catcher and offensive leader for four years. On March 18, Hile was selected by the NPF Diamonds, one of four teams in the National Pro Fastpitch League, in the annual Senior Draft. "We picked Brittany because we think she is a good fit for our team," said Diamonds coach Tim Kiernan. "We've done some research on her and the type of player she is and the type of person she is. She will be an ambassdor for the league because we play all of our games on the road." Being drafted into the pro-league is another step in Hile's long career that began when he "It was a routine thing when we were younger," Hile said. "Almost every night we would go to the city parks and play around and then it just kind of filtered into competitively and into something that I fell in love with." began when she was young, playing catch with her father and brother. Her interest began after watching her brother's baseball games and gradually started going to the field to play catch and learn to hit. Hile played at Blue Valley High School, leading her team to the Eastern Kansas League championships in 2006 and 2007 as well as district titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. She holds the school record for home runs, batting average and on-base percentage. She also gathered experience playing club ball for the Wichita Mustangs. Since joining Kansas softball, Hile has been a major influence on the team. During her freshman season she started all 56 games as catcher. That season she also lead the team with 11 doubles and was third with 37 hits. "When I was committed to KU I just had a lot of fun with it," she said. "When I got to KU it became a job, you know we practice four hours a day, every day of a week and it is something that I do as a job and I love it. It is fun for me so it doesn't feel like a job." During her sophomore year she started 32 games and held a .360 batting average until she was hit by a pitch and sidelined with a broken wrist. Hile began to develop more power during her junior season. She hit 5 home runs including her first career grand slam against UMKC March 30, 2010. She played as the Jayhawks' starting catcher for all 56 games of the season and caught 22 runners stealing. "Brittany is a prime example of hard work and really working to improve her game," said coach Megan Smith. "Year after year she has worked to improve her game. From last year to this year she had a huge improvement offensively. It is starting to show in her stats and obviously people are starting to notice because she was drafted." So far this season she leads the team with 10 home runs on 35 hits. Her 10 home runs are a school record for most home runs in a season, which she shares with junior Liz Kocon. She has been a major factor for the team's success this season with a 27-9 record as well as four SEE HILE ON PAGE 7A BASEBALL Jayhawks look to avenge loss to Missouri State BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Revenge is on the mind of the baseball team today as they host Missouri State. "They beat us so we've got it out for them this time," junior catcher James Stanfield said. Last week, the Jayhawks lost 6-0 in Springfield, Missouri — their fourth straight loss — and left coach Ritch Price questioning the team's maturity and toughness. The Jayhawks are an abysmal 2-10 away from Hoglund Ballpark, compared to 10-5 at home. "The thing I'm disappointed in our record is at home and how bad our record is on the road," Price said. "That's all about being tough enough to go on the While the offense hasn't been consistent, the pitching staff has been the Jayhawks' steadiest force. The staff's ERA is 3.78, and they hold opponents to a .262 batting average. Senior lefthanded hurler Wally Marciel is expected to start on the mound for the layhawks tonight. Marciel has been in and out of the starting rotation, and he has an ERA of 3.81 in his nine appearances for Kansas this season. The hidden gem of the pitching staff so far this season is junior closer Colton Murray. In his nine "The thing I'm disappointed in is how good our record is at home how bad our record is on the road." his average up to .273 after strug gling early in the year. In just three games against Baylor, the Jayhawks improved their batting average 11 points. The Jayhawks came into last week's matchup with Missouri State batting .232.

The Jayhawks just won two of three against No. 19 Baylor and are coming into the game on a much more positive note. Leading the offensive improvement has been senior outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle. In just nine Big 12 games, Waters is batting .375 with an on base percentage of .447 and a slugging percentage of .563. Lytle has brought RITCH PRICE Coach appearances on the mound for Kansas, Murray is 2-0 with five saves and an ERA of 1.74. Batters are hitting an average of .197 against the hard throwing pitcher. "A year ago he The Jayhawks will have their hands full in tonight's 6 p.m. matchup against the Bears at Hoglund Ballpark. While things appear to be improving for the Jayhawks, tonight's game provides a chance to find out how far they've actually come. The 16-10 Bears are sure to have the Jayhawks pitching staff's full attention this time around. Missouri State averages .319 at the plate, and Aaron Conway leads the lineup, batting an astounding .410 he was trying to throw a ball through the back stop, and now he's out there pitching," Price said. "He's been lights out all season."

Mansfield pitched 2.2 innings for three hits, three strikeouts, and one earned run in the Jayhawks 12-4 loss to Baylor. The Jayhawks are now 12-15 as they enter today's game against Missouri State. KANSAS COMMENTARY Softball embraces fun side of sports BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com College athletics is a business. Money obscures the sport for what it actually is: a game. We tend to forget the core values in sports sometimes. Schools have to promote student athletes for their respective sports so they can go pro. They have to do whatever they can to sell their product, their logo. Most of you know how the atmosphere in Allen Fieldhouse can get. That feeling takes 16,000 fans, a dramatic introduction video and a nationally ranked Division 1 basketball team. However, not all sports are this way. The Kansas softball team doesn't have to deal with this aspect of college athletics. And you can tell. The softball team has the most fun out of any sports team at the University. At Arrocha, everything comes from the team itself and that makes the experience just as desirable. At this point in the season, the Jayhawks have scored more runs than all of last season. And there is still more than a month of ball to be played. The team has a swagger about it that resonates with the crowd. Fans aren't at the mercy of distant seating or inattentive athletes. "For us," coach Megan Smith said, "it's about teaching them the game, loving the game and enjoying the game when they're out here." "Last year we didn't have the season that we wanted to." senior pitcher Allie Clark said. "So this year we're like, 'We have nothing to lose.'" Watching this team is what sports is all about. Even after a strikeout, the players give the batter emotional support. That "rah-rah-rah" mentality is present for the entire game, even when the situation seems bleak. Like Smith said, it's about enjoying the game in the moment. The team hasn't won yet this season at home, but the positive chatter from the dugout, engagement with the fans and an overall successful season makes the Jayhawks entertaining to watch. It also helps that softball moves along faster than most other sports. In between Hoglund Ballpark and the Jayhawk Soccer Complex you will find Arrocha Ballpark, where the softball team consistently overflows the bleachers. In the past two home games this weekend, the Jayhawks attracted an average of 700 fans, which is rather impressive given the team's history. "We like having fun," Clark said. "That's just what we do." Since there are only four professional softball teams, most of the players won't play professionally after college and sophomore outfieldier Rosie Hull isn't taking any of this for granted, "This is the dream for a lot of us," Hull said. —Edited by Jacque Weber { . --- < THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM Tracking a spider's path VOLUME 123 ISSUE 126 BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com F Saupe When she was in the sixth grade, Rachel Newby was bitten by a brown recluse spider. The spider, which was in Newby's bed, bit her twice. Now Newby, a freshman from Washington, D.C., has an indentation on her right knee — an eraser-sized scar that's a reminder of the venomous spider Brown recluse spiders, known for their distinctive shape and skin-deteriorating bite, are prevalent in Kansas, said Erin Saupe, a doctoral student in geology from St. Cloud, Minn. There might be that bit her seven years ago. some slightly reassuring news for future generations. By 2080, said Saupe, Kansas brown recluse spiders may not even exist anymore. Saupe began the project about two years ago as a master's project. The findings of the research team's work were published on March 25. Saupe said she hoped the Saupe and other KU researchers have developed an estimation of the climatic preferences of the brown recluse, using a system they call "ecological niche modeling." Through this modeling, Saupe has developed a way to determine the climates recluses prefer, where they are in the United States and what areas the recluses may inhabit in the future. Saupe said that the recluse is expected to move to other areas of the country in the future. group's findings could make a difference in the medical field. "The brown recluse is obviu-ously very important." Saupe said. "Itss bites can cause tissue death and limb loss" But, she said, some doctors diagnose brown recluse bites in areas where the recluce doesn't normally habitat. Saupe said medical professionals in these areas often misdiagnose serious diseases like lymphoma and Lyme disease as brown recluse bites. "With this data, we can confirm and attest where they are, based on the climatic data we've gathered," Saupe said. According to a study by the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, the brown recluse's habitat is expanding across the country. The spider can now be found in additional areas in Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The spider is also commonly referred to as a "fiddleback" or "violin" spider because of its violin-shaped marking on the top of the upper body. The brown recluse's body is usually about three-eighths of an inch long and about three-sixteenthsof an inch wide. Paul Selden, professor of geology, was part of the research team. He said the project would help inform the public where brown recluses are prevalent. "We knew the project would be interesting," he said. "We were hoping it will spread the word to medics and the public that they should understand these things better." — Edited by Caroline Bledowski Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the center sees about three brown recluse bites per year. She said the bites spike in the fall and winter, when spiders and other insects try to get indoors to take shelter from the cold weather. "It's quite a nasty bite," she said. Quinlan said the bites are treated with antibiotics. She said there's a risk of infection from the spider and the dead tissue caused by the spider's venom. Most spiders have eight eyes, but the recluse spiders have six eyes that are arranged in pairs in a semi-circle on the front of the upper body. The spider is also commonly referred to as a "fiddleback" or "violin" spider because of its violin-shaped marking on the top of the upper body. According to a study by the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, the brown recluse's habitat is expanding across the country. The spider can now be found in additional areas in Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The brown recluse's body is usually about three-eighths of an inch long and about three-sixteenths of an inch wide. The long, thin and brown legs are covered with fine hair, but no spines. Adult brown recluses have a leg span of about the size of a quarter.

Students arriving on campus Tuesday morning found hundreds of easter eggs waiting for them on the lawns surrounding Strong Hall, Wesco Beach, Summerfield Hall, Frasier Hall and Watson Library. Some of the eggs were hidden among bushes and along stairs while others sat in plain view, but they all contained a pair of chocolate treats and a printed message from students of "Positive Psychology" what it is," she said. Lindie Northup, a senior from Edmond, Okla., was one of those who delivered the eggs. She said she enjoyed watching people open them up. "It's just funny because I know A group of 12 students from the course scattered 500 eggs around campus at 7 a.m. as part of a project to study how people rated their happiness upon discovering the chocolate pieces inside and their happiness upon giving the second piece to a friend as the egg's message suggested. The message contained a link to an online survey where students could answer five questions about their experience. Students who submit a survey will be eligible to win a prize, which will most likely be a gift card, Northup said. The Easter egg hunt is one of several projects in a course taught by Sarah Pressman, associate professor of psychology. The projects are designed to promote positivity around Lawrence and to study people's responses. Rachel Blomberg, a junior from Chicago, said that, later in the semester, the entire "Positive Psychology" class will work together to replicate one of the studies. She said that if the Easter egg hunt is repeated by the entire class, it could include a lot more than 500 eggs. Blomberg said Tuesday afternoon that more than 40 surveys had been completed. The students will continue collecting surveys until Thursday and will use the results in their project research paper. Northup said that she expected the results to confirm the research hypothesis. "I think anyone receiving chocolate will be pleased," she said.

"And we did it because we wanted to better capture exactly what we were saw happening. But along with that came a weirdness." The compact social environment of the university also provides a challenge for GaDuGi as victims fear that coming forward will expose them to unwanted attention. Safecenter challenges sexual assault stigmas GaDuGi acts as the sole provider of sexual assault services in Douglas County. Its effect is felt in the hundreds of cases it takes on each year, providing everything from counseling and hospital visitation to advocacy and outreach. The center's status as sole service provider also means that it interacts with all kinds of victims. In the campus context, that often means college-age women. In addition to helping the women themselves, GaDuGi also works against what the center sees as harmful stereotypes. jshorman@kansan.com April may be Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but the workers at GaDuGi Safecenter are already all too aware of the trauma sexual assault can cause. Russell said individuals with biases against sexual assault victims began to claim that women couldn't be raped by people they know. "Men are sometimes forgotten about in the area of sexual assault, but it definitely does happen for men," Miller said. "Often men are embarrassed to come forward and seek help and counseling for these issues." "And it really is because people were afraid they would find out they were going to that group," Russell said. GaDuGi does provide services for men as well, and Russell said the center recently added its first male volunteer, who can assist in men's cases. The same fear that keeps women from coming forward after a sexual assault can also keep men from coming forward, Susan Miller, GaDuGi therapist, said. Later in April, GaDuGi, in conjunction with the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, will conduct outreach at the University as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. "People who have been assaulted feel like everyone in the whole world knows, even when that isn't true," Russell said. KUJH Russell said that for one semester the center held an on-campus support group for sexual assault victims. The only problem was that no one showed up. Each week workers arrived at the meeting location, but interest was minimal.

NATIONAL April 12 Biden fights sexual violence on campuses BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE WASHINGTON—Schools must do more to prevent and respond to sexual violence on campus, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday as he introduced new federal guidelines to combat the problem. "Students across the country deserve the safest possible environment in which to learn," Biden said. "That's why we're taking new steps to help our nation's schools, universities and colleges end the cycle of sexual violence on campus" Biden was joined by Education Secretary Arne Duncan at the University of New Hampshire, which was chosen because of its highly regarded efforts in sexual violence prevention. Under the Department of Education guidelines, schools informed about sexual harassment or violence must take immediate action to stop the abuse and prevent it from happening again. Schools must have sex discrimination policies in place and an employee responsible for managing the institution's compliance with Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs. Schools must make procedures for filing complaints based on Title IX violations available.

Fla. — A small piece of debris from an old satellite hurling toward the International Space Station sent a scare through NASA and the three astronauts aboard the station, but the debris ultimately sailed harmlessly by. The debris, about 5 inches wide, passed by the station at 5:21 p.m., missing the station by a little more than three miles, according to NASA calculations. For much of the day, as NASA tracked the space junk, the three astronauts were advised to be ready to scramble into the Soyuz capsule that's attached to the station that could fly them back to earth. But the red-level alert was canceled around 4 p.m., when NASA became confident enough in the track of the debris. Debris threatens space station The astronauts on the space station are American Catherine Coleman, Italian Paulo Nespoli, and Russian Commander Dmitry Kondratyev. Despite the scare, the incident was considered fairly rou tine. NASA begins preparing for action any time a piece of space junk appears likely to pass close to the space station, which happens fairly regularly. Usually the alert is dropped as the debris gets close enough for NASA to project an exact path, and determines it's going to miss. The last time debris got close enough to force an evacuation was in 2009. Nothing significant has ever struck the station, said NASA spokesman Josh Byerly. SPACE STATION Space debris moves at orbital "A five-inch piece of debris hurtled toward the International." speeds of about 18,000 mph. So an impact by a 5-inch chunk, Byerly said, "depending on where it hits, it could be severe. Something even the size of a grain of sand can punch a hole." But two recent events have added to the mess. In 2007, China destroyed one of its own probes with an anti-satellite missile in a show of military force, creating a huge cloud of debris. In fact, the piece that threatened the station today is from the Chinese FENGYUN 1C satellite destroyed in that weapons test. Orbital debris has become a growing problem for space travelers. The amount of space junk has been multiplying in recent years, as collisions between larger pieces create even more smaller ones. Also, in February 2009, a Russian and an American communications satellite collided over Siberia. That crash created another round of new space junk. On Friday, the space station had to take evasive action to avoid debris from that event. As of July 2009, more than 19,000 pieces of space debris larger than 10 centimeters were known to be circling the Earth, according to NASA researchers who track it. Another 500,000 pieces are between 1 cm and 10 cm. The tiniest pieces number in the millions. f STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan_News, or become a fan of The University Daily Kansan on Facebook.

"It's to promote cultural awareness and cultural education at the KU campus," said Niki Grewal, Austin, Texas, senior and president of the International Student Association. "Bhangra and Beats" is one of nine events for the week, which began on Monday and concludes Sunday. Tuesday's event started with three members of the African Drum Ensemble, who played two kinds of African drums — two djembes and a set of three dunns. A djembe is a drum with a deep bass and a dunun is a drum with a higher pitch intended for keeping a rhythm. The trio rattled their hands in synchronization, occasionally shouting and often scrunching their faces out of passion for the rapid tempos. "You have a number of rhythms that mesh together in really interesting ways," said Tim Clark, Lawrence sophomore and member of the ensemble. DK Productions, made up of DJ eKleCtic and dhol drummer Deep Singh, followed the ensemble with its blend of south Asian and western pop and hip-hop music. "It helps to show the fusion between our cultures," Singh said of DK Productions' style of sounds. Shortly after starting, DJeKleCritc cut the music and Singh instructed those who were interested in learning how to dance Bhangra. "People use Bhangra as the jazzercise of India without the old people-ness of it," Singh said. Singh moved his hands in a twisting motion, as if he were screwing in a light bulb, and moved his feet back and forth. Then the others followed his lead, the music returned, and a full circle of Bhangra was underway. Forrest Woods, a senior from Wichita, sat on a step behind the music setup and the dancers and casually bounced his head to the left field beats. "Every Friday in front of the Union they used to have live music," Woods said. "I miss it."

HEALTH As spring makes its debut in Lawrence, it brings with it the first local produce of the season. Not many have been spared from the financial woes the nation has recently seen. Nonetheless, Nancy O'Connor, director of education and outreach at The Mercantile, Lawrence's own local and organic grocery store, said The Mercil's produce section saw record sales last week — something she says speaks to the importance of eating locally and organically. Although buying local and organic food may seem tough to do with limited funds, O'Connor says it is entirely possible. To support local and organic food while simultaneously supporting a college student's budget, O'Connor says the key is to know what products are worth splurging on, and what products are not. "There are really smart ways to go about eating organically and locally while still on a budget," O'Connor said. "There is actually a shopping guide that lists the dirty dozen and the clean 15." Learn to buy locally with limited funds The shopping guide, established by the Environmental Working Group, lists the dirty dozen, the 12 types of produce that have the most pesticides and pesticide residue, and the clean 15, fruits and vegetables that are lowest in pesticides and therefore safest to buy from farms that use conventional methods. "As a college student on a budget you can make informed choices," O'Connor said. To find out more details on eating organically as well as safety precautions regarding pesticides and pesticide residues, visit www. foodnews.org.

Nick Sambaluk Answer to previous puzzle BY MCCLATCHY- TRIBUNE Detroit Orchestra to end strike STRIKES DETROIT — So, what comes next for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the wake of the tentative agreement that promises to end the bitter six-month strike and return the musicians to Orchestra Hall this weekend? LIBERTY HALI accessibility info 644 Mass. 749-1912 (785) 749-1972 THE ILLUSIONIST (R) 4:50 7:00 9:05 CEDAR RAPIDS (R) 5:00 7:10 9:15 students $ 6.00! Short answer: an extraordinary amount of work. Settling the strike is only the first mountain in a series of treacherous peaks that the financially crippled DSO has to scale on its way to a viable future. With $54 million in real estate debt, $9 million in projected deficits in the next three years, a rapidly shrinking endowment, subscription numbers as bloody as the end of a slasher movie and relationships between musicians and management as hostile as "The War of the Roses," the DSO's margin for error remains razor thin. At the heart of the strike was a dispute over the size of pay cuts aimed at reversing the DSO's multimillion-dollar annual deficits that have led to losses of more than $19 million since 2008. Battered by Michigan's anemic economy and the recession, the DSO's fund-raising and ticket sales have struggled to keep pace with rising costs. Paul Hogle, executive vice president. "We have to climb them all well at the same time." The strike has taken an enormous toll. The DSO has lost millions in ticket income. The strike also has cost each musician at least $55,000 in salary. "The peaks are not linear," said "We're dying to get back to Orchestra Hall and begin the long process of healing," said bassist Rick Robinson.

First, there was the swarm of unnecessary rugsuit releasing songs. (Check out Jenna Rose's "My Jeans" for some of the grossest imagery I've ever heard, involving heels racing on a spine.) Television series crosses all majors, even math and science Then we had to pretend that it wasn't getting as irritating as hell when someone said "winning" ironically (or whatever) at us, and then for a while there we weren't sure if "Mad Men" would return – and if it would, would Harry Crane even be there to be sort of pointless? To those of you not in the know, "Mad Men" is a pretty rad series AMC about a guy with a badass name (Don Draper) who runs the creative department of an ad agency when he's not boozing and whoring up the place, and Harry Crane is a pretty pointless character on that show. Either way, the show had been hanging in the balance because of disagreements between the creator Matthew Weiner and the network over BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com eficial for a lot of different majors to watch, but then I would just be over-selling. budget issues. The network was all like, "We wanna cut some actors, and put in some product placement, bro," and Weiner was all like, "HELL NO" Mad Men is right up your alley. Trust me. Unless you're a math or science major, and I assume if you're a math or science major you probably have some boring affair with all of the Star Treks, so have fun with that. (Totes kidding, you nerds - I love ya and you would probably love "Mad Men"!) They finally reached an agreement at the end of last week that would save the cast members, but required some product placement. So those of you who have no idea what I mean when I talk about Harry Crane have a year to get caught up on "Mad Men." Go get those DVDs out and start chuggin', kiddos. Because you are a college student, and "Mad Men" is "The Office" of TV dramas here. "Mad Men" is a fantastic show for any college kid to watch. If you're a history major, there are tons of shiz in there about the '60s (y'know, big stuff, like how JFK doesn't wear hats); if you're studying advertising, shouldn't really be anything after this comma, because you've probably seen this show 20 times in class. So, get on your Netflix or get to the store and buy those DVDs. If nothing else, this is the kind of show that will get you that hot hipster chick/dude with the Ray Band who aspires to be Peggy/Don. If you're interested in women's, gender and sexuality studies, then hot dog (too phallic?), you should be watching - one of the show's core themes is affirmative action.

Susie, because this show has some of the best writing in television history. If you're a business kind of person, then you will love the stories focusing on accounts men Pete Campbell, Ken Cosgrove and Harry Crane (Uh...

Deemed "Gaypril" this year, the programming will include several events centered on educating students and community members about often overlooked LGBT issues. Although it's a busy time of year, I strongly encourage students to make time to attend some of these events. This is a particularly good opportunity to educate yourself, whether it be on a basic or more in-depth level. The students and organizations facilitating these events have a strong desire to increase awareness about various issues. In fact, awareness and education are the best ways we can prevent and possibly end discrimination against and within the LGBT community. Discrimination isn't always just in the form that we typically think of (the generalization that comes to mind is blatant, hateful, anti-gay speech). Someone can be accepting and have good intentions, but a lack of knowledge about general and specific issues will sometimes lend itself to instances of unintended but nevertheless harmful discrimination Penny S. For example, some throw around terms like bisexual and asexual without really thinking about the implications of misusing these words. A simple, offhand comment can do a lot to reinforce stereotypes or incorrect assumptions about individual sexuality. It may sound silly, but the effect of words is stronger than many may think. BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com This is why knowledge and understanding are vital to the equality movement. At this stage in our social and political history, we cannot afford for supporters to be in the dark about these issues. There are many different issues under the umbrella of LGBT issues that many people are not familiar with. Many of Q&A's Gaypril events serve to combat ignorance and stereotypes on these issues as well as to provide a venue for open discussion. Such discussion is important in a friendly environment in order for a development of understanding. In order to be a supporter of LGBT rights and equality, it is important to be willing to educate yourself in order to increase your own understanding and the understanding of others. This is something I resolve to do myself during Gaypril, and I hope a large part of the student body also takes advantage of the plethora of educational opportunities provided this month. Kelly Cosby is a junior in political science and English from Overland Park. Follow her on Twitter @KellyCosby. Only through knowledge can we truly achieve politically and socially the goals of equality for all members of the LGBT community. Letter to the Editor Kobach's message should get fair, balanced coverage I wish The Kansan would write an article that is about what the actual bill and Secretary Kobach stand for instead of this biased trash that just blames racism and discrimination on anything that it doesn't agree with. When Professor Yajaira Padilla said that the reason they were protesting was because there was no one to present the other side, that kind of threw me off. I wasn't aware that Secretary Kobach was coming to our university to participate in a debate. Just as professor Yajiraa Padilla said, "You can't educate people, without having the other side." The Kansan should take this piece of advice.

Hugh Carter, Mike Dever and Bob Schumm filled the three vacancies of the five-member Lawrence City Commission. Dever, an incumbent, and Schumim will each serve four-year terms after receiving the most votes in the election, while Carter will serve two years. Despite serving a shorter term, Carter remains enthusiastic about his opportunity to create change in the community. "There's nothing on my platform that can be accomplished and completed in four years, and there's also nothing on that platform that can't be started and put in motion in two years," Carter said.

We had a great campaign and we engaged with voters, and that's what the end goal is in an election," Schumm said. "People recognized my past experience both in City Hall and as a business leader and I think that what's wrapped it up for me." Edited by Amanda Sorell From left: Lance Johnson, Hugh Carter and Bob Chestnut celebrate Carter's election at 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway. Carter will serve a two-year term. Dever's new four-year term will add to a previous four years on the commission. The initial vote count released by Douglas County is unofficial.

They were all part of an effort to promote AFTERdark, a free musical and inspirational event at the Lied Center tonight at 7. The event will feature acoustic musician Dave Barnes, hip-hop artist This'l, a speech from former KU basketball player Wayne Simien and Joe White, president of Kanakuk Kamps. White will be speaking about the relevance of Jesus Christ in today's society. "I think it's important to KU because it presents the gospel and Jesus Christ in a way that is approachable," said Kelsie Lange, a senior from Lawrence and AFTERdark promotions team member. "It's very entertaining with the music and is geared toward college students." AFTERdark is a program that has been traveling across the nation, visiting college campuses big and small, for the past five years. This will be the program's second time visiting the University. It first came in 2008. "People from Kansas just expressed a desire for AFTERdark to come back," said Grace Olson, a sophomore from Woodlands, Texas, and event coordinator. "I first heard about the event through working at Kanakuk Kamps. The rest of the KU staff and I wanted to bring AFTERdark to our campus, so we expressed this desire to the event coordinators. In doing AFTERdark, our hope is that this is not just a Christian event but that anyone regardless of their beliefs would come and experience this free event." Each year, AFTERdark invites musical artists to perform at the two-hour event. "There's a handful of artists they've been working with," Olson said. "[Barnes] was available and wanted to come." KU'S AFTERdark was supposed to take place in February, but was rescheduled for April because of inclement weather. "We're hoping for more people due to the fact that some folks saw the signs the first time," said Jordan Crawford, a sophomore from Topeka and event coordinator. "Hopefully over the course of almost doing it twice, we'll get some more people."

"The first game I went to was one of the worst days of my life," Cauble said. "I sat there and watched those children beat each other with those sticks, and hitting each other with their bodies, and I was dumbfounded." Kris had reason to be nervous. Only two months prior, her husband, Dave, had taken their high school sophomore son, Tyler, out in the backyard of their Libertyville, Ill., home to play catch with sticks for the first time. Tyler, who now plays for the KU Club lacrosse team, had previously only played organized basketball, baseball and soccer. No contact sports were allowed. During an ultrasound before Tyler was born, doctors discovered that his body had only developed one kidney. "It was a choice we made as parents to make sure that he wasn't put in situations that could harm the kidney," Dave Cauble said, sidelining any hopes Tyler had of playing football, hockey, or lacrosse. Dave Cauble, a native of Minnesota, attended the United States Military Academy at West Point where he played collegiate hockey, along with intramural lacrosse. It was something he had a passion for, so when he saw his son in need of a sport that suited him, he decided to break out the sticks. "Freshman year, (Tyler) played baseball, and it went well. But I could look and see that he wasn't totally enthralled with the sport," Dave said. "He was participating because it was a sport we were allowing him to play." Dave and Tyler began playing catch in their backyard during the winter before Libertyville High School tryouts. The sessions went well, with one exception. "When we first started playing, we kept losing the ball in the snow," Dave said. This prompted him to go to the local sports complex and ask for a favor. Dave was able to convince the manager of the complex to let him and Tyler practice playing catch in the building's batting cages. Two months before the tryouts began, Dave stumbled upon information that changed his perspective on his son playing a contact sport. Dave's research found that kidney injuries happen to less than 0.5 percent per every million participants in lacrosse. The odds of Tyler being hit in the kidney with a fastball were smaller than a kidney injury in another contact sport. It was with this information that Dave thought Tyler should try playing organized lacrosse. The next step was to convince Kris of the same. "The first conversation was icy," Dave said. "I was totally against it," Kris said. "It was a process." Dave said. It was a process. Dave said. If his kidney were to ever be injured, Tyler would most likely need a transplant along with dialysis to filter and clean his blood. Even with the stakes high, Tyler still wanted the opportunity to play. "It was a decision that I made," Tyler said, "We knew the risk, and we were willing to take it, especially me." With Tyler completely committed, Dave and Kris went back to researching the sport, while Tyler and Dave kept practicing every day. Kris called doctors and askea for opinions, while Dave Googled the topic, looking for any available information. In the end, it was Dave who found the game-changing element. Tyler could wear an altered pad to protect him from a blow to the kidney. Average lacrosse pads go down to mid-chest; the altered pad Dave found goes down to just above Tyler's waist, adding more protection to his back. "It looks like a bulletproof vest," Tyler said. Two weeks before Libertyville High School tryouts, the decision was made that Tyler would be allowed to play lacrosse as long as he wore "The Vest," but there were still some who believed it was a bad idea, regardless of the extra padding. "My doctor was pissed," Tyler said. "I went in for my yearly checkup, and he asked what sport I was playing, and I said lacrosse. He was so mad because it was a contact sport with hitting involved."

ASSOCIATION OF LAWRENCE APRIL 6, 2011 ON CAMPUS APT. FEST 2011 UDK + APT. ASSOCIATION OF LAWRENCE APRIL 6, 2011 Dave's military training had come in handy, and he wasn't afraid to use it. "The freshman boys were a bunch of bozos, so you just have to keep them in line." Dave said. Every day during summer between sophomore and junior year, Tyler practiced with his dad in the backyard.They did the same between junior and senior year, and by his high school graduation he had played two seasons for the varsity squad and was named a captain his senior year. Two months to learn a sport, and be able to master the aspects of it, is very little time. But Dave and Tyler were driven to make sure that he made the team, and Tyler began to naturally catch on to the game. "I picked it up pretty quick. There were a few rough patches. I spent a lot of time in the backyard with my dad, a lot of him coaching me and critiquing me." Tyler said. When the time came to pick a college, one of Tyler's requirements was that it had a club lacrosse team. Some smaller schools played into his consideration because Tyler would be able to play at a high level and see ample playing time. All of the other schools became irrelevant after a visit to the University. During tryouts, Tyler mentioned to a coach that his father had played collegiate lacrosse. In need of an assistant coach to help out, Libertyville reached out to Dave and asked him to join the staff. At Tyler's first game, Kris sat in the bleachers rooting for her son, and her husband. "I loved having him as a coach, but he was always the one making everybody run, and do pushups," "When I saw that KU had a club lacrosse team, I decided that was something I wanted to be a part of." Tyler said. In his first season with the Jayhawks, Tyler has been a great value to coach Dennis Shuil's squad, notching seven goals with one assist and has no negrets about his decision to play. "I love the intensity, and the hitting, and the environment," Tyler said. "The guys, everybody is goofy, and laid back. It's a different community." Kris and Dave are also enjoying the lacrosse ride. They were able to see their son play collegiately this season in the Jayhawks' 15-10 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City. Dave has also kept lacrosse in his life. Along with his coaching position at Libertyville High School, he now coaches a neighbor. They practice in the backyard of the Caubles' Illinois home. ask listen solve -Edited by Becca Harsch YOUR MONEY ON CAMPUS. ONLINE. ON YOUR ID.

Missouri State defeated Kansas 5-1. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN 12 BEA Senior shortstop Brandon Macias grimaces in pain after a Missouri State player slides into him Tuesday. Kansas was awarded the double play because of player interference. Jayhawks fail to battle surprising Bears player Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Kansas' struggles at the plate were led by the three seniors in the lineup, Brandon Macias, Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle, who finished a combined 0-for-12 with five of the Jayhawks' 10 strikeouts. It was the third time this season that the Jayhawks have finished The layhawks, whose 3.1 runs per game rank 286th among 292 Division I baseball programs, couldn't get anything going against Johnson. Johnson showed top flight potential — he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays out of high school — but never on a stage like this, and never so consistently across an entire game. Johnson should have, temporarily at least, cured the many offensive woes of the Kansas lineup. Instead, the ineptitude of the Kansas lineup cured his woes in a frustrating 5-1 loss that Price called "as bad an offensive performance as we've had in a long time" Missouri State pitcher Pierce Johnson entered the game with a 10.41 ERA. He allowed fourteen runs in his last two starts, spanning 8.1 innings. Over the course of the season, he was demoted from the Bears' No. 2 starter to their No. 3 starter and then to their No. 4. He didn't get into the sixth inning of any start this season and, judging by recent numbers, he hasn't been getting better. "I don't know how many strikeouts we ended up with," Price said, "but almost every single one of them was on a breaking ball that wasn't even a strike." with double-digit strikeouts, but the first time that a single pitcher was responsible for all of the carnage. Kansas managed just six hits, five of them singles, and didn't put a run across until the bottom of the ninth, when it was down five and reeling. Johnson posted career-highs in innings and strikeouts, a product of razor-sharp command and a brutal lack of discipline from the Jayhawk bats. "We had a hard time seeing his slider," Waters said. "Obviously, we had a hard time seeing it up, and he abused us with it." "You look at his numbers." Kansas Coach Ritch Price said, "and he walks in here with an ERA of 10-something, and he hasn't gone more than six innings in a game all year. But he located his fastball away and then he was able to use his breaking ball when he got ahead in the count, and we weren't very disciplined." "We were swinging at balls in the dirt," said junior infielder Zac Elgie. "It's impossible to hit the ball when it's bouncing in there every time."

Elgie responded by being the only Jayhawk batter to get on base three times in the game. If he can continue to hit well at batting fourth, the Jayhawks will have finally found a solid cleanup hitter to consistently drive runs in.

FACT OF THE DAY — espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: England, Italy, West Germany Spain. - www.triviaplaying.com Jackson still stirs controversy MORNING BREW While it is common for many professional franchises to erect statues of their greatest players outside their home stadium, the English Premier League's Fulham Football Club unveiled a peculiar statue on April 3 at its home grounds of Craven Cottage — a statue of Michael Jackson. BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW Jackson last attended a Fulham game in 1999, according to ESPN. But team chairman Mohamed Al Fayed was a close friend of Jackson, who died in 2009. Al Fayed's decision to use his club's stadium to commemorate a personal friend who had no other ties to Fulham is comically absurd. Unsurprisingly, reaction to the statue has been mixed, with some fans claiming their team is now a laughingstock. Even crazier, in response to criticism of the statue, Al Fayed hilariously called out his club's supporters, saying, "If some stupid fans don't understand and appreciate such a gift, they can just go to hell...they can go to Chelsea, they can go anywhere else." club executive suggesting that his team's fans root for a rival club, especially over a controversy that has no relevance to the club's performance. I certainly don't think it's smart public relations either. Nonetheless, the Fulham incident highlights the differences between British and American sports culture. No matter how many fights Wayne Rooney gets into or how many prostitutes he sleeps with, as long as Manchester United is winning and he is scoring goals, fans can overlook Rooney's antics. Despite the statue, Fulham fans will still attend the team's games, and probably mock the statue on the way in. In America, the perception is that a team cannot win if there is controversy surrounding it, hence the fuss over incidents such as While I think the decision to build the statue of Jackson at Craven Cottage is beyond dumb, I admire Al Fayed's unrestrained zeal in defending the statue. I can't imagine any American owner or Allen Iverson's "practice" rant. In Britain, Iverson's rant would have caused much less of a fuss. While I immensely appreciate the fact that my favorite teams' coaches have never suggested that I go to hell, the reluctance of coaches and players to say anything controversial has diluted the entertainment value of sports coverage in America, especially compared to the fodder Britain's newspapers have to work with. Although I don't wish for any controversy surrounding my beloved teams, I'll admit I wouldn't mind a little more brutal honesty when it comes to other American teams addressing the media.

Geoffrey Calvert UConn basks in aftermath of finals BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE HOUSTON — Since arriving in Texas last week, Kemba Walker had visions. Snipping nets. Hearing "One Shining Moment." Confetti floating around him. While the scene is an annual tradition, Walker accurately imagined himself and his Huskies teammates in the sea of red, white and blue streamers that drifted onto the Reliant Stadium court Monday night after a 53-41 victory over Butler in a game that was more slugfest than slamfest. "I feel like I'm dreaming," said Walker, who scored 16 points and won the most outstanding player award in front of 70,376 fans. It was hard for anyone to envision, harder still for many to watch. It was the lowest-scoring championship game since 1949. pgame since 1934. Butler forward Gordon Hayward's halfcourt shot clanging off the rim to lose a heartbreaker to Duke was the lasting memory from 2010's championship. This season's title game for the Bulldogs featured a number of misses — 52 to be exact — for Butler fans to stew over until fall. The Bulldogs shot a record-low 18.8 percent, struggling against Connecticut's defensive length and takes shots that appeared aimed at Hinkle Fieldhouse. ("Coach Jim Calhoun) just told us wed have to outwill and outwork (Butler)" said Connecticut center Alex Oriakhi, who finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds. He helped Connecticut outscore Butler 26-2 in the paint. The Bulldogs joined Michigan's Fab Five squads in 1992 and '93 and Houston in 1983 and '84 to lose consecutive championship games. The victory places Calhoun in an elite group of coaches who have won three championships, joining Adolph Rupp, John Wooden, Bob Knight and Mike Krzyzewski. That might balance his legacy after being involved in an NCAA investigation that will see him suspended three games next season — if he chooses to return for a 40th season. "I love my coaching. I love my team," he said. Calhoun's Huskies made Butler work for every basket — all 12 out of 64 attempts. Connecticut's 19 points after halftime, when it trailed by three, were the fewest by a team since 1960. Calhoun said he told his players in the locker room, "You're too good for this."

Elgie was 2-3 and scored the only run in the 5-1 loss. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com A lack of experience at the plate continued to plague the Jayhawks (12-15, 4-5) in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Missouri State at Hoglund Ballpark. "You can look at the difference in the two dugouts," coach Ritch Price said. "Their seniors go home run, home run, and hit a two run single, and our seniors don't get a base hit today." Kansas came into Tuesday's game after winning two of three against a top 20 Baylor team, in which the Jayhawks gave the image that their woes at the plate were behind them. It turns out that image was just a mirage as the Jayhawks' six hits were their lowest total in their ten previous games. The spark for the Jayhawk improved hitting was from their three senior leaders, outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle and shortstop Brandon Macias. All three seniors went hitless today, leaving the Jayhawks without their usual producers, resulting in the Jayhawks' worst game since day one of conference play. "If Waters, Lytle, and Macias don't hit, we're not going to score," Price said. "We were not talented enough one through nine in our lineup for that to take place, and I'm not being negative; that's a The Jayhawks had a tough time even hitting the ball into the air Things were supposed to be different for the Jayhawks in their second game against the Bears in six days. The game was played in Lawrence this time; the Jayhawks were coming into the game on a winning streak; the bats were hot and vet the results didn't change. reality." "It's kind of been our thing to do well on the weekends and then we come back and kind of look ahead, thinking we're a good ballclub," Waters said, "and then we have let downs like this. That's just been the story, and we've got to figure out a way to get it fixed before it's too late." — the Jayhawks grounded out 12 times and flew out only four times. "I think it's one of those experience things," junior first baseman Zac Elgie said. "People have been up and down all year." Price attempted to shake things up before the game by tinkering with the batting order, but the Jayhawks failed to respond. The only Kansas batter to really respond to the changes was Elgie. Elgie's hot bat got him moved up to the cleanup position in the Kansas lineup, and the 6-foot-2 North Dakota native came through. He led the second inning off with a screaming line drive hit down the left field line for a double, and in his second at-bat, Elgie hit a single and stretched it into a triple after an error by Missouri State. "He left a couple of pitches up to me and I put good swings on them." Elgie said. The Jayhawks will have to respond from the loss quickly with a huge game looming tonight against Missouri at Kauffman Stadium. Sophomore pitcher, Thomas Taylor, will take the mound for the 5:30 p.m. showdown with the Tigers. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux SOFTBALL Team makes changes to work toward victory 5 BY HANNAH WISE bwise@kansan.com hwise@kansan.com The Jayhawks are on a six-game losing streak in conference. The offense is struggling to produce the same quality hits against Big 12 pitchers that it had during the pre-conference season. They are also struggling to make key strategic plays at the plate. The softball team is looking for its first conference victory today against the No.14 Oklahoma Sooners.The team is making some player and strategic changes in the hope of getting back on a winning streak.Currently,the team is 0-6 in conference play and 27-10 overall. "We are going to do some short game work to make sure we can lay down buns when we need to," coach Megan Smith said before Tuesday's practice. Senior pitcher Allie Clark winds up against Nebraska Sunday afternoon in Lawrence. The team hopes for its first conference win today. The team is also working on developing faster hands in the batters. It wants the batters to get their hands to the ball faster to speed up the rest of the batter's swing and increase the swing power. The batters have totaled Aaron Harris/KANSAN The infield is currently made up of young players who are still developing. The change is only expected to get the team out of the current Big 12 losing streak. 23 hits in all six Big 12 contests whereas their opponents have connected 53 times. "We are going to get some players some reps at a new position," Smith said. The Jayhawk pitchers have been struggling to throw strikes. In Big 12 games, they have totalled 11 strikeouts thrown. In the beginning of the season, the pitching staff was focused on throwing pitches to get ground balls. Now, they are changing their strategy to be more effective against Big 12 batters. Defensively, the team will try out some changes in the infield. "We have been focusing on throwing the ball off the plate and still working the knees, throwing it lower. We have been working on throwing off the plate and getting hitters to chase our pitches," senior pitcher Allie Clark said. After six conference losses, both the players and the coach ing staff have continued to focus on what they need to change and fine tune. The team has been working on keeping a level of confidence up during this rough patch. The changes in strategy and personnel help to keep the girls focused and ready to face their opponents on a weekly basis. They are confident in their abilities as a team to earn a conference victory. "We still feel like we have a chance," Clark said. Edited by Sarah Gregory COMMENTARY 4 College basketball thrives past its prime CHEESE BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com She's the former supermodel, 20 years past her prime. She still looks good, but nothing like in her past. She whips out old photos at any given moment, reliving her glory days while convincing people — trying to, at least — that she still has it. Her name is college basketball. With all due respect to Butler, VCU, and George Mason in 2006, they wouldn't have sniffed a final four 20 years ago. I know what people are thinking. They beat who they had to beat. Teams like Pittsburgh and Florida couldn't handle a Butler team that might have missed the NCAA tournament if they didn't win the Horizon League conference tournament. Kansas couldn't handle a team that finished fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association. Yes, that Colonial Athletic Association. This is just as much a column about the perceived 'big dogs' as it is about the underdogs. Often under-experienced but talented blue bloods are losing to multi-directional schools. Upsets are bound to happen in the NCAA tournament; we all know that. But when they happen with this much regularity seemingly every year now, it makes you take a step back and ask, "Why?" Well, these midmajors usually have one thing in common: experience. Early NBA defections don't blow up rosters unexpectedly every year, which leads to the most popular answer to our simple question. The common answer is NBA's "one-and-done" rule, in which a player can't be drafted until he's 19 years old or has played a year of college ball. But it's only half right. College basketball was on the decline before the one-and-done rule came into effect in 2006. If anything, the rule has made college basketball better. Without it, fans would have never seen John Wall, Kevin Durant or Jared Sullinger. Kansas fans wouldn't have seen Xavier Henry or Josh Selby (Hey, that USC game was awesome, right?). No, the one-and-done rule isn't the problem. It's a Band-Aid. To stop this decline, however, a bandage won't stop the bleeding. It will only slow it down temporarily Major League Baseball has it right. Any player can skip college and enter the draft immediately after high school. But if they go to college, they have to stay for three years. It's not right to deny an 18-year-old the right to earn a living if someone is willing to pay him. If they want to take that risk, let them. It's a risk any adult should be able to make if he's so inclined. But if they aren't good enough to play professionally after high school, three years of college is better for everyone. The player will only get better, the NBA will get more polished talent on a yearly basis, and college fans will get a much better product. Until the rule is changed, the glory days will still be a distant memory. Fans will still watch, though, because hey, an aging supermodel is still a supermodel. — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 127 ANOTHER YEAR Taylor and Robinson to stay at Kansas BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor ended weeks of speculation with a joint announcement that they will return to Kansas to play basketball next year. Taylor PETER C. BROWN Taylor, who would have been a second round pick at best had he declared for the draft, strongly hinted that he'd return immediately after the Jayhawks lost to Virginia Commonwealth in the Elite Eight. He said then that he didn't think of himself as a guy who had a Robinson decision to make, but the decision wasn't made official until Kansas sent out a press release Wednesday afternoon. "The year was up and down for me, but I feel like I finished on a strong note and I am ready to car ry that momentum into the summer and next year," Taylor said in the release. Taylor averaged 9.3 points and 4.6 assists in the 2010-11 campaign, but his spot was challenged often by sophomore Elijah Johnson and freshman Josh Selby. With the graduations of Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar, two starting guard roles will open up. With the expected defection of Josh Selby to the NBA—he was in Las Vegas this week working out and gauging his draft stock, but has not made a decision yet — Taylor and Johnson will fill two of those starting spots, possibly alongside forward Travis Leford. Should the Morris twins declare for the draft — they too are expected to make that announcement after being spotted in Los Angeles with agent Jason Martin — Robinson would likely be the focal point of the Jayhawk offense. He averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in just 14.6 minutes per game. Flesh out those numbers over a little more than 28 minutes — what Marcus Morris averaged this season — and he's approach- all-American territory, or at the very least All-Big 12. Robinson's decision to return to Kansas is certainly the more surprising of the two. He was viewed as a mid-to-late first round prospect and ESPN's Chad Ford had him as the highest-rated Jayhawk prospect. He also had to deal with the death of his mother this season, and the care of his little sister Jayla, who is now living with her father. "This was the most trying year of my life," Robinson said in the release. "I want to thank everybody and I can't wait to run up and down the court in a packed Allen Fieldhouse next year. I plan on busting my butt this summer to improve my game." It's likely too early to guess at a starting lineup for next season — Bill Self's recruiting class probably isn't complete even with the recent commitment of St. Louis shooting guard Ben McLemore — but Taylor and Robinson are certainly locks for it. — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux Stealing signs could cost big BY SARAH HOCKEL schockel@kansan.com It’s not unusual to enter a student’s home and see his or her walls decorated with various street signs. But what you probably don’t think about is the fact that these signs are stolen property. Signs may be mementos from a previous residence (that first house on Ohio street) or a “No Parking” sign taken late one evening after a long night of hanging out with friends, but they belong to the city. If you were to get caught taking a street sign it would be theft. “The police would be called if [a student] were caught with a sign, and an officer would charge them with theft,” said Jerry Little, City of Lawrence municipal court prosecutor. Little said the punishment for stealing a street sign includes a mandatory court appearance, in which the defendant could be charged with a fine up to $2,500 and/or jail time up to one year. The most commonly stolen signs in Lawrence are named street signs and stop signs. “Stop signs are particularly critical because missing stop signs can result in crashes and critical injuries,” said David Woosley, transportation/traffic engineer for the City of Lawrence. Woosley said it costs between $50 and $200 to buy, make and install each street sign. — Edited by Jacque Weber Most commonly stolen signs in Lawrence Named street signs: Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Wakarusa are some of the most commonly stolen named street signs in Lawrence.

Wilkerson Almost two weeks after the Kansas basketball team's loss to Virginia Commonwealth University in the NCAA tournament, Jayhawk Spirit owner Tom Wilkerson, whose store sells KU apparel, is still agonizing over the game. But while the rest of Jayhawk nation can turn off ESPN and try to forget the loss, Wilkerson has to deal with the daily reminder of lost revenue and the question of what to do with the boxes of KU Final Four T-shirts he pre-ordered. PETER PATRICKS BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com When the men's basketball team made the Elite Eight this year, Lawrence businesses such as Jayhawk Spirit and Jock's Nitch ordered hundreds of pre-made KU Final Four shirts to sell to the crowds that would have appeared on Massachusetts Street had Kansas won the next game. "Right now they are sitting in a warehouse," he said. "As long as we don't distribute them, they can sit there forever I guess, but obviously space is important for us so wed just as soon get them on their way." However, what happened — well, happened and now stores are left with boxes and boxes of T-shirts commemorating a Final Four berth that never happened. "I don't really want to give you the exact number, but it's in the hundreds." Wilkerson said referring to the number of T-shirts he ordered. Now Wilkerson is looking for an organization to take the shirts and distribute them to people in need. "My guess is the NCAA and Adidas enter into an agreement that none of them will be on the market unless they win," he said referring to the T-shirts. At first, entities like Goodwill or Salvation Army come to mind, but the donation of the shirts has a catch. According to the contract Wilkerson signed with Adidas, the company that made the shirts, the shirts must either be donated to somewhere outside of the U.S. or destroyed. Wilkerson said he had destroyed pre-ordered shirts in 2003 when Kansas lost the national championship, but this year he hoped he would be able to find a place to take the shirts. "It's the idea that they might actually do some good," Wilkerson said. "If we had a contact or something that was going to take them to Japan that would be a perfect place for them to go." Wilkerson has another reason to donate the shirts. The last time he destroyed shirts, he had to destroy each shirt by hand with scissors. Jock's Nitch is also looking for a place to donate their Final Four T-shirts. Jock's Nitch general manager Ryan Owens said the company hopes to hear back in the next few days from World Vision, an organization that accepts product donations and distributes the donations as humanitarian aid. He said the shirts would then be shipped overseas, likely to Africa. According to World Vision, product donations can be counted as tax deductions for qualifying companies. When asked how long the destruction took he laughed and answered, "Too long; that's why I would rather donate them."

The class of 2011 motto created by the Board of Class Officers is "Began with dreams. Created legacies. Continuing the tradition." The Board of Class Officers is comprised of four executive level members: a president, vicepresident, secretary and treasurer. There are also 12 members who apply to become a part of the senior class advisory board. The Board decides: • The class banner* • The class gift • The class motto *This marks the first time the Board elected to choose the banner by staging a competition for University students to design their own. 1 BEGAN WITH DREAMS. CREATED LEGACIES. CONTINUING THE TRADITION. CLASS OF 2011 THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Key to symbolic elements of the banner according to the designer, Dani Hanson: 1. The motto was created by the Board of Class Officers. The first line demonstrates senior class' aspirations upon coming to the University, the second line demonstrates what the senior class accomplished while at the University. The last line is in present tense to represent what the class will do after graduation. 2. The campus in the background represents leaving the University for the future. 3. The blue sphere represents having the world in front of the senior class. 4. The yellow and blue stripe represents the road to a new life for seniors. 5. The border is meant to allude to the 2008 men's basketball championship, which was won during the class of 2011's freshman year. 6. The black tassle is worn by graduate students.The senior class wanted them to feel that they were a part of the proceedings. 7. The pointed bottom of the banner is to make it appear a more traditional banner. This year's class gift will be the framing of pictures of available past class banners inside of the Kansas Union. The class of 2011 banner will be displayed larger than the rest, along with the most recent graduating class'banner. 73 Former class banners Class of 1873 the first on record. The University of Miami: CLASS of 2007 No longer following looftest, but making our own. Class of 2007 banner with their motto: "No longer following footsteps, but making our own."

Financial literacy programs help ensure graduate success BY LAURA THOMAS editor@kansan.com National Financial Literacy Month comes just in time to prepare graduates for financial success. Student Money Management Services at the University of Kansas began its Financial Literacy Project yesterday, a grant-funded campaign intended to educate students on financial decision-making. Student Money Management Services is a sponsored organization at the University that was developed out of a request from students. They focus on helping students with their finances, ranging from budgeting to dispersing financial aid, and helping students establish how to pay off their bills and loans in a timely manner. "It's about helping them understand the time value of money." Leticia Gradington, program director of SMMS said. "It's helping them understand the importance of how money works." Seventy-four percent of students make their money management mistake their freshmen year. Gradington believes that teaching students the significance of financial literacy at a college level, students will understand how things work come graduation. "Lack of education tends to be a crash-landing," Gradington says. "The subject we are bringing to the table and the things we are talking about are not just things you use today, but things you will use for the rest of your life." This is why every Monday and Wednesday in April, SMMS is putting on different lunches where students will hear from speakers and learn various tools and techniques that are critical in financial literacy. Robert Baker, director of education for a nonprofit organization who helps with financial literacy and housing education, knows how important this month is. "In these particular times, people are worried about what they are going to do when they graduate," Baker said. Both Baker and Gradington agree that the biggest challenge students face today is paying off loans. "When you have a bunch of loans from a bunch of different places, it can be such a hodge-podge of repayment," Baker said. "It's really hard to piece it all together when you don't receive the education of how to go about it." Baker commenced SMMS's Project Financial Literacy by giving a presentation of five ways to maximize post-graduate lifestyle success. His was the first of six that will be given throughout the month. The second part of the project is the CashCourse Challenge. Students who participate in an online scavenger hunt on the CashCourse website could be entered to win up to $200 in cash giveaways. SMMS hopes to spread awareness throughout the month of April and reminds students just how important it is to be financially educated.

CAMPUS Committees discuss ways to help students achieve goals early on BY CHRISTOPHER HONG chong@kansan.com A group of steering committees aimed towards maximizing undergraduate and graduate students' success held a town hall meeting in the Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union on Wednesday. The chairs of the two groups, Energizing the Educational Environment and Elevating Doctoral Education, presented the pre- changes needed at the undergraduate level. He said building first year experiences, such as using common books and revitalizing learning communities, was necessary. liminary results of their reports and fielded questions. "Right now there are problems involved with students who think they are going into professional schools and don't, and then end up leaving the institution as a result." Chris Haufer, chairman of the Energizing the Educational Environment, focused on the CHRIS HAUFLER Group chairman He also emphasized the importance of advising in order to help students graduate in four years at the University of Kansas. He said he wants the University to help students find clear paths to majors and into professional schools. "Right now, there are problems involved with students who think they are going into professional schools and don't, and then end up leaving the institution as a result" Hausler said. He said this problem could be solved by making the entrance requirements clear and obvious to students during advising. Haufler also discussed ways to retain students and set clear goals to keep students motivated. Sara Rosen, chairwoman of the Elevating Doctoral Education group, focused on ways to help graduate students complete their doctoral work, and do so in a timely manner. Rosen said the national rate of students who fail to finish their doctoral degree is 40 to 50 percent. The number is 33 percent at the University, which is lower than the national average. Rosen said properly mentoring graduate students is a highly effective way to keep them in school and help them earn their degrees in a timely manner.

The Tooth Fairy encourages us to sell our bodies. Who the heck keeps putting the country station on at the REC??! Successful year for Student Senate, but communication could improve With Student Senate elections approaching, students should reflect on this year's leadership as well as goals future student senators should consider. Student Body President Michael Wade Smith, Vice President Megan Ritter and the other student senators this year did a lot of good for the student body and made some progress on important initiatives. However, it is important to also remember what can always be improved upon and to demand more from each year's student leaders. officials tentatively approved the plan last fall with hopes of starting construction in May. KUnited was successful this year in many ways. One of the coalition's central campaign platforms during elections last spring was the Wescoe Underground expansion. The expansion would add 139 seats to the crowded Underground facilities, in hopes of easing major congestion. University Although not one of its platforms, the Jayhawk Buddy System also began this year under KUnited leadership. The program began in November and encourages students to pair up with a "buddy" and to look out for each other. This means intervening if your friend isn't making healthy choices, and vice versa. According to a Nov. 23 Kansas article, research studies show that students respond better to positive messages about responsible drinking than preaching or scare tactics. The Jayhawk Buddy System will hopefully be as successful as similar initiatives at other universities. achieved, but is an effort that should be continued by future student senators. The center would provide many services, such as academic achievement and success, disability services and a writing center. In addition to these, KUnited also attempted to establish a Student Services Center on campus. Unfortunately, this goal could not be As students start to think about upcoming elections, it is important to also keep in mind what student senate can improve upon as a whole. Next year's leaders should concentrate on student outreach, communication and transparency. This year, Student Senate worked to revamp its website and make it more interactive. While the new Student Senate website is user friendly, it can still be improved. Currently, the meeting minutes and voting records accessible on the site are from 2009-2010, with nothing more recent than March 2010. Providing minutes and records creates transparency, and students should be able to access these easily. The redesign of the website cost $3,500. At that price tag the new site should include recent documents. Furthermore, outreach and communication as a whole should always be a goal of Student Senate. Often students are confused by proposals made by Senate, and some neglect to get involved because the process is confusing. By making an effort to communicate clearly with students, Senate can develop trust. A job well done can always be made better and by reflecting on this year's leadership, students can also look to goals for the future. Erin Brown for the Kansan Editorial Board.

Mortenson's book details his accidental discovery of a lifelong mission. While attempting to summit Pakistan's K-2 Mortenson found himself in a remote village watching children use sticks and dirt to practice school lessons. With a naive promise to build the village a school Mortenson unknowingly embarked on his life's work. His organization, The Central Asia Institute, has now built over 165 schools and made it possible for tens of thousands of children to learn in a more secure environment. Mortenson has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and consulted by the US military for his ability to connect and make progress with Islamic leaders across the tumultuous border oetween Pakistan and Afghanistan. NICHOLAS PABLO What's so great about this story is that Mortenson was just doing what he loved to do. He wasn't concerned with finding the perfect career or finding his destiny. His life was about working a few months a year to afford his next mountaineering adventure. When he promised to build that first school, he came home, raised $12,000 and returned to the Pakistani mountains to construct it. As students, we often worry about choosing the right career path, but when Mortenson found his path he was already walking on it. BY RAEANN HANDSHY rhandshy@kansan.com Mortenson's story proves that long-term success sprouts from the seeds of our current day motivations and interests. By participating in activities that energize and inspire us, we realize that our talents actually lead us to meaningful and productive accomplishments. If we all follow our individual passions, we can contribute to a society that values diversity and supports community. Fortunately there are an infinite number of opportunities for us to explore what fascinates us. On the KU campus alone there are hundreds of student organizations and academic programs that make it possible to go rock climbing in Utah, explore architecture in Spain or develop an electric car in a barn on West Campus!

POP CULTURE Generation Y identity strongly rooted in'90s Nickelodeon A month ago TeenNick announced its fall programming would include reruns of Nickelodeon classics like "Rugrats," "Clarissa Explains it All" and "The Adventures of Pete and Pete." I imagine every writer whod just finished a think piece on regionalism and romance in "Jersey Shore" or what it means to be "indie" now that "Arcade Fire" won best album was relieved to have more work. The announcement screamed "culture essay" like a wagon full of disheveled gypsy bachelors screams "reality show jackpot." I thought about what this meant. What does it say about a few million of us between the ages of 18 and 24 if we're preternaturally nostalgic, already revisiting an earlier stage of our current youth through "I Love the '90s," GenX Radio and Chuck Klosterman books at an age when we can't even rent a two-door from Hertz? I found myself answering this question with more questions. Are we disillusioned with the future? Discontent with current entertainment? Is this shared pre-Google experience the only thing that connects us anymore? When my inner dialogue started running replete with Carrie Bradshawesque hypothetical questions (I've watched my sister watch it), I had to stop myself. Of course, days later, NPR ran a piece on "All Things Considered." In Brent Baughman's segment, he used three interns, ages 21, 22, and 23, to flesh out why, as the piece's title put it, "Children of the '90s [are] Nostalgic Over TV?" In a convincing manner, Baughman used these interns to illuminate that perhaps twenty-somethings need Nickelodeon because it's a rare social network among our generation. "Next time you meet someone born after 1985, just mention Nickelodeon and the '90s. Instant conversation starter." Baughman said Baughman also suggested that these television shows are reminiscent of a time before ubiquitous communication, and that watching television helps us eschew a demanding media torrent. Television is more passive, and passive is nice. Though these are reasonable suggestions, it's not tuning out the MARCUS MILLER BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA mmsarqilia@kansan.com Internet, or an economic downturn, or a sense of disconnectedness that draws us to feel all sepia-colored by watching "Hey Dude Ranch." Rather, it's a sense of generational identity that's rooted in Nickelodeon. This is a sense of identity that's stronger, and more developed at a young age than with preceding generations. This is a result we can thank, or blame, Fred Savage for. Whether it be "The Wonder Years" or "The Sandlot" or "Forrest Gump," I grew up six inches from a TV screen, cast under the spell of baby-boomer directed nostalgia aiming to define the spirit or mood of a decade that passed them like a warm summer day. Our experience with this type of nostalgia translates into us being pseudodocumentarians. We grew up watching period-driven entertainment ("Dazed and Confused," "The Wedding Singer," etc.) And so of course we'll try to do the same, albeit at a much younger age and with less distance than whatever mind created Kevin Arnold. A product of this experience, I turned out, more or less, all right. My vision is decent when I wear glasses and now I write six-hundred-word articles that try to turn some random observation into insightful commentary on a generation of people more diverse than I'll ever comprehend. This lack of distance ultimately causes these articles to sound like a stretch. Fortunately, I take care in knowing that I'm probably not the only one that considers our generation's collective experience in some pseudo-zeitgeist way — TeenNick clearly knows this and will be cashing in on it soon. can be casting in on it soon.

The full Senate met in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union. It won't meet next week because of Senate elections. The April 20 meeting will be dedicated to committee elections, where at the following meeting the new student leaders will be sworn in. Senator rules and regulations to include Senator code of ethics After a bumpy road, Senate approved the addition of a Senator code of ethics to the Senate rules and regulations. Sponsors of the bill began working on it in September. The finance committee originally passed the bill, but it was postponed in an attempt to clarify the language. Although it was referred back to committee, the bill was presented last night with no alterations. It passed with the required two-thirds vote after minor language alterations were made. The code of ethics will appear in next year's rules and regulations. Approval for implementation of student rights subcommittee code of rights and responsibilities recommendations At the suggestion of University administrators within the Office of Student Success, a student rights subcommittee made recommendations to alter language within the code of rights and responsibilities, and Senate approved those changes last night. The two major changes to the code involve articles 18 and 22. where a violation of federal, state or local law is broken and also if a violation of University regulation occurs on campus. Article 22 regards offense against persons. The changes include the addition of language that specifically addresses electronic contact in an effort to keep up with technological advances. Another addition to the article adds more examples of what could constitute hazing. Nick Kehrwald, the student conduct officer, said these changes address minimal legal requirements of a university. "We pretty much have to address certain campus behavior as it relates to Title 9 and sexual assault," Kehrwald said. "It's not always appropriate to wait for a criminal investigation." Kehrawd acknowledged that he has limited institutional knowledge because he has only been at the University since January, but said that these were provisions that were most important to the administration. Failed or postponed bills: - A bill to send the student fee review subcommittee's recommendations for a $7.80 increase to the campus transportation fee to extend service west from campus along Clinton Parkway failed - A bill to amend Senate rules and regulations regarding the student executive staff was postponed until the summer - Other Senate bills passed that approve funding for the following events or groups: - The Classics Club - The Potter Lake Centennial Celebration - The Classics Club - The African Students Association event: Sisimuka Afrika - Compassion for All Animals event Simien speaks out 'After Dark' Disability Jessica Janasz/KANSAN Wayne Simien speaks at the After Dark event at the Lied Center Wednesday night. The free event was a combination of music and a message of the cross, with performances by Dave Barnes, Joe White, and Hip Hop artist Thi'sl.

Game to remember CHICAGO Thomas Taylor Taylor The Overland Park native had his second strong outing at Kauffman stadium Wednesday evening. Taylor had a career-high of nine strikeouts in his six innings on the mound. He gave up one hit and three walks to allow only one run. Game to forget Myles Smith M Smith had his first start this year for Missouri. In his 1.1 innings on the mound, Smith gave up two hits and two walks for four runs. Smith Gamenotes Kansas improves its Border Showdown record to 4-0 at Kauffman Stadium. Junior Zac Elgie added two hits to his season tally, raising his batting average to .292. His first inning double scored senior Jimmy Waters and put the Jayhawks on the board first. Junior catcher James Stanfield extended his hit streak to eight games with a third inning single. He called an impressive game behind the plate as the pitching staff allowed one hit and one earned run. The pitching staff allowed just one hit, the first single hit game by an opponent since 2008. Quote of the night PETER LAMAR Coach Ritch Price Price "We do that on purpose. We try to pitch the kids that have been Royals fans their whole lives, that are from the area, that live and dream of pitching here someday." —Coach Price on choosing his starting pitcher for games at Kauffman Stadium. Second Key inning Two hits led to three runs as the Jayhawks were able to take a 3-1 lead in the second at Kauffman Stadium. Kaiana Eldredge's two run single that squeaked through the infield scored both second-inning runs and the Jayhawks never looked back. Stat of the night 4 Magic number? The Jayhawks moved to 12-2 on the season when scoring four runs or more. The team is 1-14 when scoring three runs or less. Phi Delt Mom's Day Weekend is coming~ "Mom's Know More than You Think!"

Montgomery went 1-3 with one walk in the Jayhawks 6-12 defeat to Oklahoma. The Jayhawks continue to winless in Bia 12 play. The Jayhawks cannot seem to shake the Sooners' triumphs BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com In the bottom of the fifth inning junior third baseman Marissa Ingle steps up to the plate to hammer a double to the center field wall, beginning the Jayhawk's comeback. The No. 14/15 Oklahoma Sooners generated an eight-run deficit for the Kansas offense to fight. However, a lack of consistency from the circle and numerous defensive errors allowed Oklahoma to take any momentum away from Kansas and to capitalize on it. "Getting things started for a lead-off batter is a huge thing." Ingle said. "It builds for my team. I get on base then we get some walks and then we get a home run so it gets us a lot of runs on the board." Senior catcher and offensive threat Brittany Hile was next at bat and was walked, putting runners on first and second. The team built momentum and helped junior outfielder Kelsey Alsdorf to make contact for a strong hit to centerfield. The hit gave Ingle enough time to reach home for the first Jayhawk run of the night. Sophomore second baseman Mariah Montgomery hit a single and loaded the bases. Sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull hit a double to drive Hile and Alsdorf home setting the score at 8-3, still in the Sooners' favor. Freshman designated player Laura Vickers hit a three-romer homing in Montgomery and Hull and decreasing the Jayhawk deficit to two runs at 8-6. Vickers' home run was the last offensive play by the Jayhawks in game one. The team was unable to score again for the remainder of the contest; they were unable to hold momentum to carry them through the rest of the night. That, combined with poor defensive work, allowed the Sooners to respond by pulling away, tallying four runs in the top of the sixth. The game ended as an Oklahoma victory, 12-6, over the Jayhaws. The Kansas offense continued to slump in the second game with only six hits to Oklahoma's 20. The Sooners made use of their short game to put runners on base in both contests. They capitalized on consistency at the plate loading the bases with singles and then a power hitter was ready to hammer in a home run. "They are a very talented team," coach Megan Smith said, "They always are. They are one of the best in the country." The Jayhawk offense worked to fight back in both games to get out of possible run-rule situations. In the first game, it was Ingle's hit. In the second game, sophomore Maggie Hull hit a three-run home run to bring the team back from being down 9-1 in the bottom of the fifth. Hull also hit a double in the bottom of the fifth of the first game to crack the Top 10 most doubles in a single season. She also is tied for seventh in total RBIs in a single season at 37. Hile led the offense in the nightcap with two solo home runs. The homers broke a hitting slump that Hile had been in since the beginning of Big 12 play. They were both sparks to the teams mentality, but the defense and pitching fell short leading to a loss of momentum. "When we get a bunch of runs we need to shut them down and not let them get back in the game," Hile said. The defense suffered from five errors in the first game but cut them down to one error in the night cap. Despite the improvement in the defensive play, the Jayhawk pitchers did not perform. The three pitchers — senior Allie Clark, junior Ashley Spencer and freshman Kristin Martinez — totaled eight strikeouts on the night. They committed 18 errors as a staff. "Obviously we have some problems in the circle," Smith said, "That is evident." The team will be working to keep the offensive momentum going and to increase intensity from the circle before they face No. 21 Oklahoma State in Stillwater for the weekend series. "We are going to work them hard and get them in a good mental state before we go to Stillwater," Smith said. The Jayhawks are now 0-8 in conference play and 27-12 overall, after losses 12-6 and 13-5 to Oklahoma.

Ted Williams FACT OF THE DAY The Royals' longest winning streak last year was three games. — espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many times last season did the Royals reach three consecutive victories? A: Six. espn.com Championship, women's style MORNING BREW I rarely watch women's basketball because the men's games are usually on. Plus, women's basketball doesn't as often seem to have those moments in the game that show raw athleticism. The women are great athletes, but the game isn't as fast-paced. The only time I can say I watched a women's game was when UConn or Tennessee played. That wasn't the case this year in the women's championship. The top four seeds in this year's women's tournament didn't make the championship game. CINEMA 14 The story lines for men's Final Four were there. Two mid-majors, Butler and VCU, would play for the title. Butler would go back to the championship for the second straight year, while VCU was the first team to win five games to make the Final Four (it usually takes four). On the other side was UConn and Kentucky. UConn coach Jim Calhoun and his staff committed recruiting violations while speculation continues to surround Kentucky coach John Calipari for similar violations. Butler went on to play UConn, yada, yada, yada. UConn won 53-41 to capture the school's third NCAA title. The game was boring though. BY MIKE LAVIERI mlaveri@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW Watching paint dry or grass grow seemed more appealing. There was a Big 12 team in Texas A&M. Notre Dame played 138 miles away from South Bend, Ind., in Indianapolis. There was offense—much more offense than in the men's game. Fifty-two points more to be exact. Don't worry, there was plenty of defense too, but not as many missed shots as Butler. However, Tuesday night's championship made up for it. The story lines in the Texas A&M against Notre Dame matchup were excellent. Butler missed 52 shots, Notre Dame and Texas A&M shot 52 and 53 shots, respectively. Oh, and how could I forget the Kansas City factor? Senior Danielle Adams and junior Tyra White, players for Texas A&M, are both from Kansas City, Mo. Adams went to Lee Summit High School while White went to Hickman Mills High School. Adams scored 30 points and added nine rebounds while White scored 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting while dishing out four assists. I know more people watched the men's championship, but the women's championship was thrilling down to the end. I was hoping for overtime. Meanwhile in the men's game, I just wanted the clock to expire so I could see "One Shining Moment."

The energetic Royals were in position to improve to 5-1 after Soria retired the first two batters in the ninth with a 6-3 lead. But Alex Rios and Paul Konerko hit RBI singles and Quentin's two-run double capped a four-run comeback for a 7-6 edge. The Royals had won their previous four games all in their final at-bat, and had their chances in this one, too.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A KANSAS 7, MISSOURI 1 KANSAS 11 Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor fires the ball against Missouri Wednesday. Taylor finished with a career high of nine strikeouts in Kansas' 7 to 1 victory against Missouri Wednesday. Taylor shines in Border Showdown win BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Playing a bitter rival in a big league ballpark couldn't distract sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor from taking care of business in his second career start at Kauffman Stadium. "We walked in here today like it was a Big 12 championship with Texas," coach Ritch Price said. In six innings on the mound, Taylor gave up one hit for one run, while striking out a career-best of nine batters. Taylor got the start on the mound last season as well, allowing two hits and no runs in 5.2 innings. The Overland Park native has thrown 11.2 innings at Kauffman, giving up three hits for one run with 17 strikeouts. "I grew up around here, and I think I went to my first Royals game when I was two," Taylor said. "I've always wanted to pitch here." The young hurler led the Jayhawks in their 7-1 win over Missouri in the home of the Royals. The bats for Kansas gave Taylor plenty of cushion, exploding for seven runs off of nine hits in the Jayhawks' best offensive performance in 13 games when Kansas lit up Eastern Michigan, scoring eight runs off of 14 hits. Taylor's start, though, wasn't quite as strong as his finish. He gave up a leadoff single to open the game, and after a stolen base Missouri was able get the runner to third after a sacrifice bunt. Thomas responded with strikeout, walk, strikeout closing the inning. "I was pretty erratic at the beginning." Taylor said. He continued struggling with his control in the second. The 6'4 right-handed pitcher walked Missouri's leadoff batter, Eric Garcia, who stole two bases to get on third. A deep fly to center field enabled Garcia to score, but Taylor responded well and never looked back. "I tried to stop overthrowing and tried to pound the zone more, and everything went well after that," Taylor said. From the third inning on, Taylor threw nothing but gems; he struck out the side and got through the top half after only 14 pitches. Only one Missouri batter got on base in Taylor's final three innings. "He struggled at first, and then all of the sudden he kicked it in and really shoved it to them once we got the lead," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. "We needed someone to not let somebody back in the ball game, and he did that for us tonight." Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait long for number nine, striking out Blake Brown to end the fifth. The Jayhawks relief pitching held up strong in the final four innings. Freshman pitcher Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through.

"I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. Rietz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources" Reitz said. Opened in November of 2008, Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town is a fragile economy for towns. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help," Reitz said. who are "on the margin," Reitz said. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it."

Edited by Brittany Nelson COMMENTARY Elgie lives his dream, if only for one night BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z. Zac Elgie was supposed to have these things in his future: lights by the hundreds, instead of the tens; ballparks with freshly-cut grass and even more freshly-tamped dirt, instead of a carpet of turf; and grand stadiums with fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans, instead of for 2,500. When the Oakland Athletics chose Elgie in the 12th round with the 364th overall pick of the 2008 MLB draft after his four years of dominating at Minot High in North Dakota, it's undoubtedly what they had in mind for him. It's definitely what he still dreams of. "To play in such a beautiful ballpark," he said, "it's been my childhood dream, to make it to the big leagues." If Elgie would have signed with the Oakland Athletics, he might have only been halfway there by now. He's a junior now and high school prospects that make it to the big leagues take an average of six years to get there, Kansas coach Ritch Price said. But, he might have been further along. He might have been out of the game, too. It's impossible to say. The only thing to know for certain is that Elgie isn't now considered the prospect that he once was. He'll probably get drafted this season. If he puts up numbers better than his current .283 batting average, .353 on-base percentage and .435 slugging percentage, maybe he'll get a quality look from a team somewhere around the 20th round, but it will probably be later than that. He'll probably get drafted next year, too, and if he continues his progression, it could be closer to the 10th round. Elgie still might get to the big leagues someday. He is, after all, one of the few Jayhawks that has managed to hit with any consistency or anything resembling power this season. And part of the infinite beauty of the game of baseball is that players with far worse odds than Elgie have become stars. On Wednesday night, you could see the ability that got Elgie drafted in 2008. He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans. He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbotron in center field, that was a dream come true.

Every round eight participants raced through two laps on oversized tricycles. The winner each round won a $15 gift card. Parr opted for bouncy balls, which forced racers to spin around if hit by one. "One hundred percent bounce ball every time," Parr said. Others went for banana peels. Heather Kaplan, a sophomore from Shawne, handed out peels to racers. She also donned a banana suit for the event. "What's more fun than wearing a banana suit?" Kaplan said. Kaplan and other event staff originally tried to eat the bananas for the peels but gave up after about 10. Rain had threatened to derail Kansas Kart, but the sky held for the event. The event is just one of several events SUA is producing in the remaining month and a half left in the semester. SUA vice president of communications Andrew Fillmore, a junior from Belle Plaine, spoke about some of the highlights: KU'S BEST DANCE CREW Students will have the chance Auditorium Tuesday, April 19, to speak about the "It Gets Better" project, which he created. "It Gets Better" consists of a series of videos designed to communicate to gay and lesbian youth that "it gets better" regardless of the hostility or insecurity they may be experiencing. Celebrities and politicians have lent their names to the cause, including President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Fillmore said that although Savage often did his "Savage Love" presentation, the Union event will be focused on "It Gets Better." The event is $5 with a KU student ID. MIKE POSNER SUA will host hip-hop artist Mike Posner at Liberty Hall Tuesday, April 26. Posner is perhaps best known for his songs "Cooler Than Me" and "Please Don't Go." Tickets are available at the SUA Box Office on the fourth level of the Kansas Union and are $15 for students. SEE SUA ON PAGE 3A Memorial Stadium to house major events. Travis Young/KANSAN Jon Sabillon, a senior from Lawrence, dresses up as Mario for SUA's Kansas Kart event Thursday afternoon and cheers as Jeni Burrows, SUA's special event coordinator from Belle Plaine, drives them through the finish line. There was a track set up in the parking lot of the Visitor's Center with various obstacles and had handful of different projects the drivers could pick up. Johnson said the platform stemmed from listening to a friend's parents reminisce about their time at the University. "They talked about how when they went to school they remember having concerts after basketball games." Johnson said. "And we would like to welcome big name artists and speakers, things like that, back into Allen Fieldhouse and even Memorial Stadium." KUnited's goal is to make those venues more accessible as an option to infrequently house big events. SUA president Rachel Anderson said attempts were made year after year to have an event in Allen Fieldhouse. Funding will always be an issue to book events, Anderson said, but developing a partnership could help fray those costs. "Something like what KUnited is proposing would be ideal," Anderson said. "But the question will still be do we spend a huge amount of money for that one show or spread it out over the entire year?" Anderson, a senior from Manhattan, said as an organization SUA had discussed this idea extensively. ttery pick (top f will go a few e is right, the certainly now the those guys to go "I" self said.

As recently as 2006 Allen Fieldhouse hosted comedian and actor Bill Cosby during Homecoming week. Even artists such as Bob Marley and Louis Armstrong once graced the University with their musical presence. "Certain artists won't come because we have to be able to offer them a sell-out space and this could help in bringing any artist," Johnson said. Marchiony said the first discussions regarding this kind of proposal would most likely take place between himself and the Athletics Department facilities staff. Without knowing specifics and without speaking to other staff members, he said it was difficult to discuss feasibility. "We would talk about it as a department and decide on whether or not it would be something we would want to schedule here and something we would want to represent," Marchiony said.

I spent many years training non-stop by running up mountains and across the Texas deserts. I ran through the woods — on what we called "adventure runs" — and when a body of water threatened our trail, we took off our shoes and swam, only to continue running when we found land again. We ran through quarries and neighborhoods. We were chased by dogs and farm owners who yelled at us to stop trespassing. We were fearless when confronted with hailstorms, lightning strikes, unbearable heat, snow, rain, wind, mosquitoes, barbed wire fences, electric fences, horses, police officers, giant trucks, ice cream trucks, lemonade stands and shin splints. We were reckless and sunburned. Our shorts got shorter each year, further breaking our shackles to long, heat-trapping gym shorts that those who didn't know any better wore. We averaged around 70 miles per week. Our 5K times dropped every weekend. We broke through the 16-minute barrier and pushed ourselves to the limit. If I had been allowed to wear a mustache, I would have rivaled Steve Prefontaine's glorious upper lip protector of the elements. What a glorious time to be... Wait a minute. What's that pain in my knees? I guess I forgot about the countless hours of physical therapy, ice baths and stretching that followed my numerous running injuries. My knees still pop when I stand and I worry that they will deteriorate in the future. I was told by a doctor who studied my form that I was landing on my heel, thus setting myself up for injury. I was told that barefoot running will help my form and balance as well as strengthen muscles in my legs that are not worked out when wearing running shoes. Becky Howlett's story on barefoot running shoes (page 13) interested me because I haven't kept up on advancing footwear technology since I stopped running competitively. I had heard good things about FiveFingers barefoot shoes and have even seen them around town before. While dismissive of the shoes at first, the idea of running in a shoe that simulates the feeling of being barefoot intrigues me. After a restless winter indoors, I think I might treat myself to a pair and stretch my old running legs out again. I wonder if I can still pull off my short shorts as well.

KANSAS IN HEAT // PICKING UP A BARTENDER Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on JKJH 90.7mm and at kjk.org. // MIKE ANDERSON bridges If you really like this bartender then try to make friends with people who work there. I'm not saying go to this bar every day, but when you do, try to build rapport with the staff. Be genuine. The goal is to have the other bartenders talk about you in a positive light; that way, when your bartender talks to you, he/she may already have a positive view of you. Think of it like first winning over his or her friends. Q. How can I pick up a bartender without sounding like everyone else? At this point, there's more trust and comfort, which could result in a more flirtatious or even seductive encounter. You could even host a party and invite some of the bartenders, giving you an excuse to also invite him/her to an environment where there is no bar between you. Once you both are no longer in a money-exchanging position, he/she will feel more comfortable to flirt with you. A. It's tough isn't it? Bartenders, like waiters, are difficult to flirt with and/or seduce. You could go the creative route and try some snappy dialogue when the place isn't busy. But I'm a fan of the social-proof route. If you evolve past the initial pick-up and involve yourself in a relationship with a bartender, the perks are fantastic. You always have a seat at the bar, automatic friendship with the other regulars and free drinks. Unfortunately, bartenders continuously encounter temptation. Jealousy and mistrust can be an obstacle in a relationship with a bartender. If you choose to date one and have an ounce of jealousy or mistrust, as the clock turns to 3:45 a.m., that little voice in the back of your head will wonder, "Where is he/she?" A. My advice is to stay away from bartenders. Similar to musicians, bartenders have the opportunity to bed a lot of patrons; and easily, I might say. Male bartenders may be more guilty of this behavior than female bartenders; therefore, female patrons may be more susceptible. For you men out there, hot female bartenders are the holy grail of hook-ups and not likely to fall for any lines; they have heard them all.

Playing a bitter rival in a big league ballpark couldn't distract sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor from taking care of business in his second career start at Kauffman Stadium. In six innings on the mound, Taylor gave up one hit for one run, while striking out a career-best of nine batters. Taylor got the start on the mound last season as well, allowing two hits and no runs in 5.2 innings. The Overland Park native has thrown 11.2 innings at game when I was two." Taylor said. "I've always wanted to pitch here." The young hurler led the Jayhawks in their 7-1 win over Missouri in the home of the Royals. The bats for Kansas gave Taylor plenty of cushion, exploding for seven runs off of nine hits in the Jayhawks' best offensive performance in 13 games when Kansas lit up Eastern Michigan, scoring eight runs off of 14 hits. Taylor's start, though, wasn't quite as strong as his finish. He gave up a leadoff single to open out, walk, strikeout closing the inning. "I was pretty erratic at the beginning." Taylor said. He continued struggling with his control in the second. The 6'4 right-handed pitcher walked Missouri's leadoff batter, Eric Garcia, who stole two bases to get on third. A deep fly to center field enabled Garcia to score, but Taylor responded well and never looked back. "I tried to stop overthrowing and tried to pound the zone more, and everything went well through the top half after only 14 pitches. Only one Missouri batter got on base in Taylor's final three innings. "He struggled at first, and then all of the sudden he kicked it in and really shoved it to them once we got the lead," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. "We needed someone to not let somebody back in the ball game, and he did that for us tonight." Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait innings. Fresman phone: Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through. Edited by Erin Wilbert PHILANTHROPY Former KU star uses basketball to help families BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com Wayne Simien and Joe Reitz represent two successful outreach programs for underprivileged children and their families in Lawrence. Through their hard work, families who find themselves in devastating situations can find hope through Family Promise. and discouraged children can gain confidence through Call to Greatness. Both organizations are nonprofit and, with this fundraiser, are bringing hope to families in need. --- Simien The first annual Wayne Simien Free Throw Challenge will take place this Sunday, with a preliminary round on Saturday. All ages beginning at fourth grade and up are welcome to participate in a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence and Wayne Simien's ministry, Call to Greatness, which consists of camps for children in junior high and below. Campers are allowed to spe "He is a young man of incredible character, the real deal. He is very humble, has a real heart for kids and helping people and he's given his life to the Lord," said partner Joe Reitz on Simien. cialize in basketball, baseball, football or soccer. Simien focuses on encouragement and positive reinforcement through athletics, ensuring that each child knows giving his or her life to Jesus Christ ensures greatness. "I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. Rietz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources," Reitz said. Opened in November of 2008, Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town, is a fragile economy for people who are "on the margin." Reitz said. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help." Reitz said. Completely nonprofit, both programs run off of private donations, company sponsorships, and fundraising. Saturday is the opening round and there are five different places to try out. The Community Building in downtown Lawrence, 115 W 11th St., Emmanuel Luther Church, 2104 Bob Billings Pkwy., Clinton Parkway Assembly of God, 3200 Clinton Pkwy., and Bishop Seabury Academy, 4120 Clinton Pkwy. There are a number of time slots so people will not have to wait in long lines to try out. There will be a referee, and Wayne Simien will visit all of the sites. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it," Reitz said. The finals will be held on WAYNE SIMIEN FREE THROW CHALLENGE Individual competitors and five-person teams will be placed in one of six age groups: 4th and 5th graders Middle schoolers High schoolers College and young adult (under 30) Adult (under 55) Senior (55+) Individual Entry Fee: $10 Team fee: $15 The grand champion will receive an autographed Kansas basketball and reserved seat tickets to a Kansas men's Big 12 game next season. 1 Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse where Wayne Simien and other players will be present for a fun competition with many prizes.

The only thing to know for certain is that Elgie isn't now considered the prospect that he once was. He'll probably get drafted this season. If he puts up numbers better than his current .283 batting average, .353 on-base percentage and .435 slugging percentage, maybe he'll get a quality look from a team somewhere around the 20th round, but it will probably be later than that. He'll probably get drafted next year, too, and if he continues his progression, it could be closer to the 10th round. Elgie still might get to the big leagues someday. He is, after all, one of the few Jayhawks that has managed to hit with any consistency or anything resembling power this season. And part of the infinite beauty of the game of baseball is that players with far worse odds than Elgi have become stars. On Wednesday night, you could see the ability that got Elgie drafted in 2008. He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans. He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbrot in center field, that was a dream come true.

Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait innings, freshman pitcher Austin Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through. - Edited by Erin Wilbert PHILANTHROPY Former KU star uses basketball to help families BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com Wayne Simien and Joe Reitz represent two successful outreach programs for underprivileged children and their families in Lawrence. Through their hard work, families who find themselves in devastating situations can find hope from Family Promise. and discouraged children can gain confidence through Call to Greatness. Both organizations are nonprofit and, with this fundraiser, are bringing hope to families in need. A. A. Simien The first annual Wayne Simien Free Throw Challenge will take place this Sunday, with a preliminary round on Saturday. All ages beginning at fourth grade and up are welcome to participate in a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence and Wayne Simien's ministry, Call to Greatness, which consists of camps for children in junior high and below. Campers are allowed to spe cialize in basketball, baseball, football or soccer. Simien focuses on encouragement and positive reinforcement through athletics, ensuring that each child knows giving his or her life to Jesus Christ ensures greatness. "He is a young man of incredible character, the real deal. He is very humble, has a real heart for kids and helping people and he's given his life to the Lord," said partner Joe Reitz on Simien. Rietz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources." Reitz said. Opened in November of 2008. Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town, is a fragile economy for people who are "on the margin." Reitz said. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help," Reitz said. Completely nonprofit, both programs run off of private donations, company sponsorships, and fundraising. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it." Reitz said. Saturday is the opening round and there are five different places to try out. The Community Building in downtown Lawrence, 115 W 11th St., Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 2104 Bob Billings Pkwy, Clinton Parkway Assembly of God, 3200 Clinton Pkwy, and Bishop Seabury Academy, 4120 Clinton Pkwy. There are a number of time slots so people will not have to wait in long lines to try out. There will be a referee, and Wayne Simien will visit all of the sites. The finals will be held on WAYNE SIMIEN FREE THROW CHALLENGE Individual competitors and five-person teams will be placed in one of six age groups: 4th and 5th graders 4th and 5th grader Middle schoolers College and young adult (under 30) Middle schoolers High schoolers Middle schoolers Adult(under 55) Senior (55+) The grand champion will receive an autographed Kansas basketball and reserved seat tickets to a Kansas men's Big 12 game next season. Individual Entry Fee: $10 Team fee: $15 Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse where Wayne Simien and other players will be present for a fun competition with many prizes. "Companies around Lawrence have been very generous to us," Reitz said, and any KU student who makes the finals and makes more free throws than Reitz will be in a drawing for a unique prize. The entry fee for individuals is $10. To compete on a team of Edited by Brittany Nelson five, while also being eligible to compete individually, the fee is $15. There will be teams made up of ROTC members, the Lawrence Fire Department, sororities and fraternities and family and friends. To enter go to iamctg.org or lawrencefamilypromise.org.The deadline is Friday at noon. 1 might have been further along. He might have been out of the game, too. It's impossible to say. The only thing to know for certain is that Elgie isn't now considered the prospect that he once was. He'll probably get drafted this season. If he puts up numbers better than his current .283 batting average, .353 on-base percentage and .435 slugging percentage, maybe he'll get a quality look from a team somewhere around the 20th round, but it will probably be later than that. He'll probably get drafted next year, too, and if he continues his progression, it could be closer to the 10th round. Elgie still might get to the big leagues someday. He is, after all, one of the few Jayhawks that has managed to hit with any consistency or anything resembling power this season. And part of the infinite beauty of the game of baseball is that players with far worse odds than Elgie have become stars. On Wednesday night, you could see the ability that got Elgie drafted in 2008. He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbotron in center field, that was a dream come true. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans.

Any type of heat, whether it's from a flat iron, hair dryer or curling iron, damages the hair, says Kaila Shockley, a cosmetologist at Hull's Place, a salon in Chanute. The flat iron breaks down bonds in each hair strand that make the strand curly or wavy. Once the bonds are broken, the hair straightens.

Natalie Meyer, Wichita junior, says when she straightens her hair she puts the flat iron on a low heat setting and uses a leave-in conditioner to protect her hair. Shockley recommends using heat protectants, such as Chi Silk Infusion or 12 Benefits products, which prevent the most damaging heats from reaching the most critical parts of the hair.

Johnson said the platform stemmed from listening to a friend's parents reminisce about their time at the University. "They talked about how when they went to school they remember having concerts after basketball games." Johnson said. "And we would like to welcome big name artists and speakers, things like that, back into Allen Fieldhouse and even Memorial Stadium." Jon Sabillon, a senior from Lawrence, dresses up as Mario for SUA's Kansas Kart event Thursday afternoon and cheers as Jeni Burrows.

SUA president Rachel Anderson said attempts were made year after year to have an event in Allen Fieldhouse. "Something like what KUnited is proposing would be ideal," Anderson said. "But the question will still be do we spend a huge amount of money for that one show or spread it out over the entire year?" Funding will always be an issue to book events, Anderson said, but developing a partnership could help fray those costs.

Even artists such as Bob Marley and Louis Armstrong once graced the University with their musical presence. "Certain artists won't come because we have to be able to offer them a sell-out space and this could help in bringing any artist," Johnson said. Marchiony said the first discussions regarding this kind of proposal would most likely take place between himself and the Athletics Department facilities staff. Without knowing specifics and without speaking to other staff members, he said it was difficult to discuss feasibility. "We would talk about it as a department and decide on whether or not it would be something we would want to schedule here and something we would want to represent," Marchiony said. Neither Marchiony nor Anderson said they had personally spoken with KUnited coalition members.

But the substitutes health effects remain unclear. truv Nature's Calorie-F winger sweet vings natural Safe Splenda No Calorie Sweetener gine life sweeter THE NOT-SO-SWEET SIDE OF SWEETENERS Sophomore p WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL SWEETENERS // BECKY HOWLETT Ta Heidi Lesage has been a coffee drinker since she was eight years old. A self-described coffee junkie, she's cut her "use" down to three cups a day. She used to sweeten her drug of choice with raw sugar, but for the past five years she reaches for Splenda. But it's not as instinctive as it used to be; Lesage, Minneapolis senior, is almost ashamed for someone to see her choose that little, yellow packet. She thinks that Splenda gives her headaches and recently she began to wonder if it's safe. "I've been using it for far too long and I've actually been trying to switch back to sugar," Lesage says. "I think it's just better to go with something natural." Lesage is not alone in her concern about artificial sweeteners. A study done in 2006 by Mintel, a market research company, revealed that 64 percent of Americans wonder if sugar substitutes are safe. Yet, according to the American Diabetic Association nine out of 10 Americans use artificial sweeteners. Every one of those sugar substitutes is made from something completely different. NutraSweet and NectaSweet are far from equals. Artificial sweeteners are chemically engineered in a laboratory. Splenda may start out as natural sugar, but by the time it reaches the consumer it has been treated with chlorine and touts a new chemical structure. Aspartame is completely artificial, but is metabolized by the body, whereas saccharin passes through our system unchanged. Although they might be packaged and marketed similarly, each of these artificial sweeteners affects the body differently and getting to the truth behind each can be more than a challenge. WHAT ARE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS? Five FDA-approved non-nutritive sweeteners are currently on the market: saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame potassium and neotame. Non-nutritive sweeteners have no nutritional value, meaning they don't have any calories. This type of sugar substitute first was introduced in the 1950s, and today the artificial sweetener industry is worth more than one billion dollars in the United States alone. With more than 6,000 food products worldwide containing artificial sweeteners, avoiding them completely can be a struggle. Amelia Brodrick, Olathe junior, tries to eat only organic food and avoid anything that's artificial. "I use organic sugar or no sugar," Brodrick says. "If I get Starbucks I don't add any sweeteners." Since their introduction, sugar substitutes have spurred controversy about potential negative health effects. For more than two decades, saccharin, known by the brand names Sweet 'N Low and Necta Sweet, bore a warning label that the sweetener caused cancer in laboratory animals. The warning labels were removed in 2000 after the government declared the cancer-causing effects of saccharin were not valid in humans. Although saccharin and aspartame have been technically cleared of their former carcinogen status, many consumers are still wary about the safety of these sweeteners. Donna Harkrider, Tulsa junior, is skeptical about the validity of this negative image. "I don't know if I buy into all the hype that artificial is bad. I think it's mostly hype," Harkrider says. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS IN SODA: GOOD OR BAD? 8 Playing "We walked in here today like it was a Big 12 championship with Texas," coach Ritch Price said. league ballpark couldn't distract sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor from taking care of business in his second career start at Kauffman Stadium. In six innings on the mound, Taylor gave up one hit for one run, while striking out a career-best of nine batters. Taylor got the start on the mound last season as well, allowing two hits and no runs in 5.2 innings. The Overland Park native has thrown 11.2 innings at game when I was two," Taylor said. "I've always wanted to pitch here." The young hurler led the Jayhawks in their 7-1 win over Missouri in the home of the Royals. The bats for Kansas gave Taylor plenty of cushion, exploding for seven runs off of nine hits in the Jayhawks' best offensive performance in 13 games when Kansas lit up Eastern Michigan, scoring eight runs off of 14 hits. Taylor's start, though, wasn't quite as strong as his finish. He gave up a leadoff single to open out, waik, strikeout closing the inning. "I was pretty erratic at the beginning." Taylor said. He continued struggling with his control in the second. The 6'4 right-handed pitcher walked Missouri's leadoff batter, Eric Garcia, who stole two bases to get on third. A deep fly to center field enabled Garcia to score, but Taylor responded well and never looked back. "I tried to stop overthrowing and tried to pound the zone more, and everything went well through the top nail after only 14 pitches. Only one Missouri batter got on base in Taylor's final three innings. "He struggled at first, and then all of the sudden he kicked it in and really shoved it to them once we got the lead," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. "We needed someone to not let somebody back in the ball game, and he did that for us tonight." Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait innings. Fresman pitcher Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through.

Edited by Jacque Weber --- FEATURE ★ Soda, especially diet soda, has been under siege for its purported link to health risks, including heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and stroke. A 2011 study done by the University of Miami found that those who drink diet soda daily, rather than regular soda, were nearly twice as likely to have a stroke. Although research may show a correlation between diet soda and these conditions, it is still unclear why or how soda has these effects on the body. THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH RESEARCH SHOWING ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS ARE ABSOLUTELY SAFE. The presence of artificial sweeteners in diet soda is just one facet of this issue, but despite concerns over the potential negative effects, American consumption of diet soda is on the rise. According to Beverage-Digest, while overall sales of regular soda have experienced slight declines each year since 2005, sales of Diet Mountain Dew and Diet Dr. Pepper increased by more than five percent in 2010. Last year Diet Coke sold more than 926 million cases in the United States alone. Because diet sodas that are sweetened artificially have zero calories, they might seem like attractive options for those trying to watch their weight. But research suggests that sugar substitutes may actually promote weight gain. Sue Martin, a registered dietitian for the Wyandotte County Health Department, says that sugar substitutes are confusing for our bodies and can lead to overeating. "When you eat these sweeteners your brain thinks, 'OK, I'm satisfying my sweet tooth,' but you still have that sweet craving because your body didn't receive any calories," Martin says. Jamie Koonce Chinese medicine practitioner Sweet foods trigger our brain to expect a high-caloric intake. Although artificially sweetened sodas don't have any calories, they still produce this response in our brains. These sweet cravings not only persist, but may even increase after a few hours. A study conducted by Purdue University in 2008 confirmed this phenomenon. The study, which used laboratory mice, showed that mice that were given diet soda sweetened with saccharin actually gained more weight than those given regular soda. The results indicated that the artificial sweetener slowed metabolism and resulted in overeating. WHAT ARE NATURAL SWEETENING OPTIONS? As a result of the limited amount of studies on the long-term effects of sugar substitutes on humans, some consumers are looking for natural sweetening alternatives. Jamie Koonce, a practitioner of Chinese medicine, recommends seeking natural sweetening options, including, cane sugar, raw honey or sugar alcohols. "There's just not enough research showing artificial sweeteners are absolutely safe," Koonce says. Koonce also says that Stevia appears to be a safe option. Stevia, marketed under the brand name Truvia, is a zero-calorie natural sweetener that is made from the leaves of the Stevia plant. Truvia harnesses the natural sweetness in the Stevia plant and combines it with erythritol, which is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits. Some local businesses are gearing their products to more natural sweetening options. The homemade syrups at Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., are made with pure cane sugar and do not contain artificial sweeteners or high-fructose corn syrup. The coffee shop also sweetens its chai teas with honey. Justin Gardner, Mesa, Ariz. junior and an employee at Java Break, says very few people ask to have their drinks prepared with artificial sweeteners. "I think the majority of people want natural," Gardner says. "Maybe one in 10 customers ask for their drinks sugar-free." WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE? With the prevalence of artificial sweeteners in food products and their allure for dieters, these sugar substitutes are not likely to go away any time soon. In 2004 the National Household Nutrition Survey estimated that approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population uses artificial sweeteners on a regular basis. Our bodies need sugar for energy and everyday metabolism. As a registered dietitian, Sue Martin says that artificial sweeteners have their time and place, but she would not recommend using them simply in place of sugar. "If you have to monitor your body sugar levels, go ahead and use artificial sweeteners," Martin says. "There's a chemical aspect that we don't know the effects of yet so I wouldn't use them on a consistent and reliant basis." According to the World Health Organization, only 10 percent of our caloric intake should come from added sugar, which is about 200 calories a day on a 2000-calorie diet. Moderation is key for both artificial sweeteners and real sugar. Jessica Hall, Lawrence junior, doesn't pay attention to whether she uses real sugar or substitutes. "I don't think there's really a difference for me," Hall says. "An excess of either is bad." Sugar is often demonized, especially in its purported links to obesity, but sugar is not necessarily bad in moderation. A teaspoon of honey contains 22 calories, while a teaspoon of sugar has 16 calories. In comparison, a can of Coke contains 9.75 teaspoons of sugar. When choosing natural sugar, keeping track of your daily intake and calorie-count is essential to maintain a healthy level of consumption. One facet about artificial sweeteners is clear: they are confusing. With so many different brand names and competing health information, it's difficult to get informed and easy to feel overwhelmed. So the next time you find yourself pondering sweetening options at the coffee shop, maybe play it safe and drink your coffee black.

Moderation is key for both artificial sweeteners and real sugar. QUICK GUIDE TO SWEETENERS Saccharin mes: NutraSweet & Equal. Aspartame Brand names: Sweet N'Low & Necta Sweet Saccharin contains zero calories and doesn't raise your blood sugar. The FDA proposed a ban on this sweetener in 1958, but Congress overruled after widespread public opposition to the ban. (Note: this was the only artificial sweetener available at the time.) Today, this is likely the most researched sweetener and it is often considered the "safest." Brand names: NutriSweet & Equal. Aspartame is widely considered the most controversial artificial sweetener. It is approved in more than 100 countries and its purposed links to cancer have been dispelled over the years. However, a survey of industry-funded studies related to the safety of aspartame reveals that 100 percent deemed the sweetener safe. Of the independently-funded research on aspartame, 92 percent claimed negative health risks. Sucralose Brand name: Splenda Unlike chemically altered sugar substitutes, this is a natural sweetener made from the leaves of the Stevia plant. This plant has been used by indigenous groups of South America for hundreds of years. It contains zero calories and no documented adverse health risks have been associated with the sweetener. Sucralose is the newest non-nutritive sweetener available and can be used in cooking/baking. This sweetener was accidentally discovered while trying to create an insecticide. Although its marketing campaign suggests "it's made from sugar," the final product is so chemically altered that it is very misleading to suggest it is natural like sugar. Although toted as a no-calorie sweetener, sucralose does contain calories. Every cup of Spenda contains 96 calories. Erythritol Stevia Brand name: Truvia A natural sugar alcohol, it is essentially a non-calorie sweetener, with only 0.2 calories per gram. It occurs naturally in fruits and doesn't affect blood sugar. Unlike many other sugar alcohols, which may have gastric side effects, consumption of erythritol generally doesn't cause gas, bloating or have a laxative effect. This sweetener can be used alone, but it is also an ingredient of Truvia. 9 04 07 11 TRICYCLE Others went for banana peels.

KU'S BEST DANCE CREW Students will have the chance Auditorium Tuesday, April 19, to speak about the "It Gets Better" project, which he created. Kaplan and other event staff originally tried to eat the bananas for the peels but gave up after about 10. Heather Kaplan, a sophomore from Shawnee, handed out peels to racers. She also donned a banana suit for the event. Rain had threatened to derail Kansas Kart, but the sky held for the event. "What's more fun than wearing a banana suit?" Kaplan said.

KUnited's goal is to make those venues more accessible as an option to infrequently house big events. "Something like what KUUnited is proposing would be ideal," Anderson said.

Edited by Erin Wilbert PHILANTHROPY Former KU star uses basketball to help families BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com Wayne Simien and Joe Reitz represent two successful outreach programs for underprivileged children and their families in Lawrence. Through their hard work, families who find themselves in devastating situations can find hope through Family Promise. and discouraged children can gain confidence through Call to Greatness. Both organizations are nonprofit and, with this fund raiser, are bringing hope to families in need. Simien The first annual Wayne Simien Free Throw Challenge will take place this Sunday, with a preliminary round on Saturday. All ages beginning at fourth grade and up are welcome to participate in a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence and Wayne Simien's ministry, Call to Greatness, which consists of camps for children in junior high and below. Campers are allowed to spee Campers are allowed to spee cialize in basketball, baseball, football or soccer. Simien focuses on encouragement and positive reinforcement through athletics, ensuring that each child knows giving his or her life to Jesus Christ ensures greatness. "He is a young man of incredible character, the real deal. He is very humble, has a real heart for kids and helping people and he's given his life to the Lord," said partner Joe Reitz on Simien. Rietz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources," Reitz said. "I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. Opened in November of 2008 Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town, is a fragile economy for people who are "on the margin", Reitz said. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help," Reitz said. Completely nonprofit, both programs run off of private donations, company sponsorships, and fundraising. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it," Reitz said. Saturday is the opening park and there are five different places to try out. The Community Building in downtown Lawrence, 115 W 11th St., Emmanuel Luther Wan Church, 2104 Bob Billings Pkwy., Clinton Parkway Assembly of God, 3200 Clinton Pkwy., and Bishop Seabury Academy, 4120 Clinton Pkwy. There are a number of time slots so people will not have to wait in long lines to try out. There will be a referee, and Wayne Simien will visit all of the sites. The finals will be held on WAYNE SIMIEN FREE THROW CHALLENGE Individual competitors and five-person teams will be placed in one of six age groups: 4th and 5th graders Middle schoolers College and young adult (under 30) High schoolers Senior (55+) The grand champion will receive an autographed Kansas basketball and reserved seat tickets to a Kansas men's Big 12 game next season. Adult (under 55) Individual Entry Fee: $10 Team fee: $15 Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse where Wayne Simien and other players will be present for a fun competition with many prizes. "Companies around Lawrence have been very generous to us," Reitz said, and any KU student who makes the finals and makes more free throws than Reitz will be in a drawing for a unique prize. The entry fee for individuals is $10. To compete on a team of Edited by Brittany Nelson five, while also being eligible to compete individually, the fee is $15.

The only thing to know for certain is that Elgie isn't now considered the prospect that he once was. He'll probably get drafted this season. If he puts up numbers better than his current .383 batting average, .353 on-base percentage and .435 slugging percentage, maybe he'll get a quality look from a team somewhere around the 20th round, but it will probably be later than that. He'll probably get drafted next year, too, and if he continues his progression, it could be closer to the 10th round. Elgie still might get to the big leagues someday. He is, after all, one of the few Jayhawks that has managed to hit with any consistency or anything resembling power this season. And part of the infinite beauty of the game of baseball is that players with far worse odds than Eligie have become stars. On Wednesday night, you could see the ability that got Elgie drafted in 2008. He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbotron in center field, that was a dream come true. He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans. Edited by Jacque Weber --- NOTICE Q&A // TOM HIGGENSON OF PLAIN WHITE T'S > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers. Plain White T's frontman Tom Higgenson has been creating music with his Chicago-based band since his high school days in the late '90s. After several independent releases over the decade, the band saw international success from hits like the twice-Grammy-nominated "Hey There Delilah" and "1-2-3-4." Higgenson says that today the band's accomplishments and maturity have influenced their new work. Inspired by a Cirque du Soleil show, Higgenson and the rest of the group sought to capture the same sense of youth and wonder with their most recent album, Wonders of the Younger. In creating the record, released last December, Higgenson says the band raised the bar. The group wrote prolifically and spent more time than usual in the studio. Now on the second leg of their tour, Plain White T's will play at the Bottleneck in Lawrence on Tuesday, April 12. Higgenson took some time to talk with Jayplay about the new record, what keeps him motivated, and the ups and downs of touring. What sets Wonders of the Younger apart from Plain White T's earlier albums? I would say it's the best album we've ever done. It's the first album we've ever done that's had a concept behind it. There's an ongoing theme throughout the album of a loft of innocence, trying to regain some of the sense of wonder and adventure you have when you're a kid. We've never gone into an album with a theme or concept before so it's a big step for us. Which song, past or present, are you most proud of and why? When we make something new, that's the material we're most proud of because it's new, fresh and we're just the most excited about it. There are some songs on this album that really made me push my boundaries as a songwriter. The song "Cirque Dans La Rue" is about being dissatisfied with where you are in life, wanting to run away and finding a bunch of people that are outsiders just like you. Even the arrangements and everything about it make it a very unique song. What artist or album is your favorite to listen to right now? Well, you can't ask me that because Panic! At the Disco just put out an album [Vices & Virtues] like three weeks ago, so I've been listening to that nonstop. I was really nervous about that. too, because they kind of lost half of the band but they killed it. It's a great album. What inspires you and keeps you motivated on a daily basis? It's just the love of music, for me. That's what it's always been about. That's why I started writing songs. I love music so much that I just want to live it and breathe it. We have had some success and a couple hit singles, but [with our new album] we just really wanted to focus and make an album that would hopefully stand the test of time and stand on its own. We wanted to push our limits and excite people, so it was inspiring to raise the bar and challenge ourselves. What's the scariest tour moment you've ever had? We were on tour in Australia and I had strayed from the group to go get some food. I was walking to this Indian restaurant and there was this homeless guy who was kind of being shady. He came up to me and asked me for money or whatever, so I gave him maybe like a buck. And he literally put his hand on my neck, like grabbed it, just to scare the shit out of me. He said, "Is this all you've got?" or something like that. For a second I thought, "This is it. This bum's going to murder me." But it was only a second and he let me go, and I just walked away really fast. And I ended up getting that Indian food and it was delicious. In fact, it was probably even more BOSSY delicious after that experience because I felt alive and more appreciative. Who's your hero? There's a difference between idol and hero, but for me, they're kind of one in the same. [John] Lennon and [Paul] McCartney. Those are my idols, but they're also my heroes because they did what I would love to do and what I'm trying to do. If your tour bus were to break down and leave you stranded in any city, where would you want to be and why? We had a day off on this tour and for some reason we stopped between two cities in this town called Pocatello, Idaho. So we're rollin' up thinking, "Oh, man, this is going to be a shit town, wherever the hell this is." And, yeah, it was a really small town, but it ended up being awesome. The hotel we were at had an indoor water park, a pool table and ping-pong tables, and there was a great restaurant right across the street. The town had such charm that it reminded us of being like 10 years old, out on a family vacation. I guess it's not where I'd love to get stranded, but it was a surprise how cool that town was. What's the most important goal you have for your music or for yourself as a musician? To keep putting out music that people connect with. I think so many bands fade out and just go away after a while, and I think it's all about losing that inspiration for bands. So I think my ultimate goal is to keep doing this, keep connecting with people for as along as we want to. I never want to put out an album that fans don't appreciate or relate to. So my ultimate goal, I guess, is to keep meaning something to people. What advice do you have for college-aged students who are aspiring musicians? Focus on music. As soon as your homework is done, don't go out looking for chicks and getting wasted, but sit with your guitar and sing songs about how you can't get any chicks. Or write a song to the girl you love. Just dedicate your time because that's what it's all about — dedication. The more time and focus you put into it, the better you're going to get and the more it's going to mean. // SARAH CHAMP Contributed photo For love of the music: Plain White T's will play at the Bottleneck on Tuesday, April 12.

He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbotron in center field, that was a dream come true. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans. Edited by Jacque Weber --- NOTICE BACK TO BASICS THE BENEFITS OF BAREFOOT RUNNING // BECKY HOWLETT Those are the dumbest things I have ever seen. That was Lynnette Dornak's first thought when she saw Vibram FiveFingers, a type of barefoot shoe identifiable by its rather strange exposed-toe design. But on the recommendation of two separate friends, she tried on a pair. Her attitude towards FiveFingers has done a complete 180 since then. Dornak, Lawrence doctoral student, is now so addicted to her barefoot shoes that when her dog decided to make them an afternoon snack the day she was going out of town, she picked up a new pair on her way to the airport. She has been a faithful FiveFingers wearer for more than a year and half now. "I am their biggest spokesperson." Dornak says. "I can't stop recommending them to people." Dornak got her barefoot shoes specifically because of their reputation to decrease running injuries. A poll done by runnersworld. com found that 66 percent of runners surveyed suffered some kind of injury in 2009. Many of the repetitive injuries associated with running are directly related to heel-striking, in which a person lands on their heels. Heel-striking can be very damaging in the long-term, especially for your knees, and an estimated 75 percent of runners in the United States heel-strike. A 2010 Harvard study found that barefoot runners are less susceptible to injury because they land in the middle to forefront of the foot, which helps the body absorb the impact of hitting the ground. Shoes such as Vibram FiveFingers and Merrell barefoot shoes are designed so the wearer gets the same benefits of actually going barefoot. Micah Clement, a personal trainer certified by the National Academy of Sports **Food illustration by jessica janahz** **Foot-loose:** Wearing barefoot shoes can strengthen muscles that don't get much attention on a regular basis and can also improve your balance. Barefoot training can help runners and walkers alike by improving form and reducing injury. Medicine, and who has a degree in kinesiology, says that, evolutionarily speaking, humans were not designed to wear shoes. "Barefoot shoes are returning back to basics as far as the body's concerned," he says. Barefoot shoes improve posture and help tone an often under-developed group of muscles. "When you go barefoot you engage muscles you never even knew you had," Clement says. "The first couple of weeks, your calves are on fire." Barefoot shoes build up stabilizer muscles in the calves and feet that go unused when you wear regular running shoes. Clement says to expect a considerable amount of soreness for the first several weeks after switching to barefoot shoes as your body strengthens these muscles. Training in barefoot shoes also allows you to feel and respond to changes in the ground more readily, which leads to better reaction time and decreased risk of injury. Regular running shoes can impede your reaction time, which often results in falls or sprained ankles. Barefoot shoes put you in direct contact with terrain, improving your ability to detect subtle fluctuations in ground levels. This allows the brain to signal muscles to react faster and better maintain your balance. Clement, a longtime sufferer of knee injuries that required multiple surgeries, says that his knee problems disappeared when he started wearing FiveFingers three years ago. He also recommends them to people with lower-back and ankle issues; however, he says that those who are not at least somewhat active may not have the leg strength to jump right into FiveFingers. Some barefoot-shoe wearers have fallen in love with FiveFingers for reasons other than running benefits. Chris Albrecht, Olathe senior, doesn't even run, but he reps his FiveFingers wherever he goes. In his barefoot shoes he has climbed a fourteener in Colorado and walked the Great Wall of China. He also sports them everyday on campus. "For that one person that looks at me funny, I'll get nine people that ask me about them," Albrecht says. "If anything, they're a conversation starter." Although barefoot shoes have been a trend in the outdoor industry for the last few years, the shoes are fairly new around Lawrence. Sunflower Outdoor and Bike received its first shipment of FiveFingers on March 1. Sam Gleeson, a KU graduate and employee at Sunflower, says the store is trying to get the word out that it has FiveFingers in-stock. "It's almost impossible to buy them directly online from Vibram," Gleeson says. "It's better to buy them in-store anyway, because then you can try them on and make sure they fit properly." Vibram's website is so back-ordered that consumers looking to snag a pair will probably have more luck finding their size at local stores. Besides Sunflower, you can find barefoot running shoes at Gary Gribble's Running Sports and at Backwoods Adventures in Overland Park. QUICK GUIDE TO BAREFOOT SHOES Vibram FiveFingers $75-$125 These barefoot shoes are characterized by their unique webbed-toe design. The 12 different styles vary by type of material (some are kangaroo suede, while one pair is even made of neoprene), amount of tread or specific to activity. When shoes get dirty or smelly, simply throw them in the washing machine and let them air-dry. Injinji Socks $12 These toe socks are specifically designed with FiveFingers in mind. You can wear FiveFingers with or without the socks. Merrell Barefoot Shoes $90-$120 Get the benefits of going barefoot without sacrificing style. These shoes have more traditional tennis-shoe and sandal designs. The barefoot line also touts Vibram soles. For barefoot newbies, Merrell's website also has videos with information about how to get started and a "Top Ten Tips for Beginners" guide. 13 0 0 1 04 07 11 CUBE BIKES peels that racers used against opponents. Every round eight participants raced through two laps on oversized tricycles. The winner each round won a $15 gift card. Parr opted for bouncy balls, which forced racers to spin around if hit by one. "One hundred percent bouncy ball every time," Parr said. Others went for banana peels. "What's more fun than wearing a banana suit?" Kaplan said. Kaplan and other event staff originally tried to eat the bananas for the peels but gave up after about 10. Heather Kaplan, a sophomore from Shawnee, handed out peels to racers. She also donned a banana suit for the event. The event is just one of several events SUA is producing in the remaining month and a half left in the semester. SUA vice president of communications Andrew Fillmore, a junior from Belle Plaine, spoke about some of the highlights: Rain had threatened to derail Kansas Kart, but the sky held for the event. KU'S BEST DANCE CREW Students will have the chance Auditorium Tuesday, April 19, to speak about the "It Gets Better" project, which he created. Fillmore said that although Savage often did his "Savage Love" presentation, the Union event will be focused on "It Gets Better." "It Gets Better" consists of a series of videos designed to communicate to gay and lesbian youth that "it gets better" regardless of the hostility or insecurity they may be experiencing. Celebrities and politicians have lent their names to the cause, including President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron. The event is $5 with a KU student ID. MIKE POSNER SUA will host hip-hop artist Mike Posner at Liberty Hall Tuesday, April 26. Tickets are available at the SUA Box Office on the fourth level of the Kansas Union and are $15 for students. Posner is perhaps best known for his songs "Cooler Than Me" and "Please Don't Go." SEE SUA ON PAGE 3A to use. Fifth Premium and Memorial Stadium to house major events. Travis Young/KANSAN Johnson said the platform stemmed from listening to a friend's parents reminisce about their time at the University. "They talked about how when they went to school they remember having concerts after basketball games," Johnson said. "And we would like to welcome big name artists and speakers, things like that, back into Allen Fieldhouse and even Memorial Stadium." Jon Sabillon, a senior from Lawrence, dresses up as Mario for SUA's Kansas Kart event Thursday afternoon and cheers as Jeni Burrows, SUA's special event coordinator from Belle Plaine, drives them into the finish line. There was a track set up in the parking lot of the Visitor's Center with various obstacles and had handful of different projectiles the drivers could pick up. Travis Young/KAN KUnited's goal is to make those venues more accessible as an option to infrequently house big events. SUA president Rachel Anderson said attempts were made year after year to have an event in Allen Fieldhouse. "Something like what KUnited is proposing would be ideal," Anderson said. "But the question will still be do we spend a huge amount of money for that one show or spread it out over the entire year?" Funding will always be an issue to book events, Anderson said, but developing a partnership could help fray those costs. Anderson, a senior from Manhattan, said as an organization SUA had discussed this idea extensively. lottery pick (top jeff will go a few time is right, the certainly now the those guys to go vel', Self said.

"Certain artists won't come because we have to be able to offer them a sell-out space and this could help in bringing any artist," Johnson said. Marchiony said the first discussions regarding this kind of proposal would most likely take place between himself and the Athletics Department facilities staff. Without knowing specifics and without speaking to other staff members, he said it was difficult to discuss feasibility. "We would talk about it as a department and decide on whether or not it would be something we would want to schedule here and something we would want to represent," Marchiony said. Neither Marchiony nor Anderson said they had personally spoken with KUnited coalition members.

The group features members from a variety of projects, most notably Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and Pitchfork (late '80s post-hardcore band — not the trendy website). The album's opener, "You Gotta Lose," is balls-to-the-wall indie punk. Angular guitars and a to-the-point rhythm section keep the sound sharp and tight. Guitarist and lead singer Rick Froberg shouts recklessly in desperation, but there's a certain swagger and cockiness to his howls. A formula appears as the album progresses, but every great band/songwriter develops a style and runs with it. It's not overly predictable here. The tenth track, "Standards," must have guitarist Sohrab Habibion singing lead, because the vocals just don't stab as forcefully as Froberg's. Habibion lacks the wild high-end. OBITS No.5P857 "MOODY, STANDARD AND POOR" At times Moody, Standard and Poor is sparse and post-punkey — nearly psychedelic with its off-kilter drone rhythms. But when Froberg blasts into the mix it takes on a more early '90s hardcore tone. The final track, "I Blame Myself," surpasses all of these pigeonholes with straight wah-guitar psychedelia. It oozes an aggressive melancholy that builds to an angry peak before falling into restrained, plucked precision. It all crescendos again, and Froberg's voice never graces the mix. It's a fabulous instrumental closer. Obits might be the gateway you're looking for if "hardcore" music is too much for your delicate ears. ★ ★ // ALEX TRETBAR What is it with Matthew McConaughey and lawyers? With the exception of the underrated Frailty and his hilarious turn in Tropic Thunder, McConaughey seems unable to deliver a decent performance without resorting to some variation of the high-powered attorney he has played in everything from A Time To Kill to Amistad. His newest legal thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, is an above-average potboiler blessed with a first-rate cast and a refreshingly retro soundtrack that harkens back to the heyday of 1970s police procedurals. MOVIE REVIEW // THE LINCOLN LAWYER > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The film, based on Michael Connelly's bestseller, centers on Mick Holler (McConaughey), a silver-tongued criminal defender who operates out of the backseat of his vintage Lincoln Town Car. His client roster mainly consists of call-girls, biker gangs and other less saintly denizens of the City of Angels. The plot kicks in when Mick is employed by Louis Roulet (Ryan Philippe), a Beverly Hills playboy charged with brutally assaulting a hooker. Intrigued by his high- class client's claims of innocence, Mick delves deeper into the case and quickly finds himself embroiled in a devious conspiracy. Ta Since modern audiences are well versed in every plot twist a story like this can offer, films like The Lincoln Lawyer tend to live or die by their casting savvy alone. Thankfully, Brad Furman has populated his film with a rich bevy of character actors to liven things up. William H. Macy provides the laughs as a closeted gunshoe while Marisa Tomei smolders as a local prosecutor who doubles as Mick's ex-wife with benefits. Even the great Bryan Cranston makes the most of his all-too-brill appearance as a perpetually peeved homicide detective. And McConaughey, with his drawing magnetism, proves himself a capable leading man when freed from the shackles of his dismal romantic comedies.

Fronted by the fanciful Molly Siegel, the four-piece defy boundaries with a kind of music that I might reluctantly describe as "cute." But it's not kittens or cookies — this is aggressive and occasionally abrasive. But it's the way Siegel belts (usually) indistinguishable jargon across jangled guitar licks. There's no bass — just drums, two guitars and Siegel's shouts. Tension and release seem to be themes on the group's third full-length, Do Whatever You Want All The Time. On the album's second track, "Flabbermouse," you can make out a bit of the lyrics: "Why? I don't know why!" She repeats this and sometimes it sounds like other words, while syncopated guitars and drums push hard in the forefront. It's a bit like Deerhoof's stream-of-consciousness style of mathematical pop. "Honey Touches" recalls the approach of new-to-the-scene noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells: rough and raw around the edges, but a sweeter, calmer eye in the 14 2017年第一届大学生建筑设计大赛 主办单位：清华大学建筑学院 竞赛时间：2017年5月18日至6月17日 竞赛地点：广东省深圳市福田区福华路36号 参赛人员：本赛由中国建筑学会建筑艺术委员会指导委员会联合主办，邀请专业院校及建筑企业代表参赛。 middle of the storm. Siegel's tone shifts from inquisitive to celebratory, then from desperate to matter-of-fact. And you can rarely tell what she's saying. Fans of Battles, Zach Hill (Hella) or Marnie Stern would feel at home with Do Whatever, but there are some wacky electronics à la High Places or Gang Gang Dance that set the group apart. It's certainly on the popper side of the burgeoning noise scene, but this is no Justin Bieber. It might take repeated listens before Ponytail fully sinks in. // ALEX TRETBAR Playing "We walked in here today like it was a Big 12 championship with Texas," coach Ritch Price said. league ballpark couldn't distract sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor from taking care of business in his second career start at Kauffman Stadium. In six innings on the mound, Taylor gave up one hit for one run, while striking out a career-best of nine batters. Taylor got the start on the mound last season as well, allowing two hits and no runs in 5.2 innings. The Overland Park native has thrown 11.2 innings at game when I was two, taylor said. "I've always wanted to pitch here." The young hurler led the Jayhawks in their 7-1 win over Missouri in the home of the Royals. The bats for Kansas gave Taylor plenty of cushion, exploding for seven runs off of nine hits in the Jayhawks' best offensive performance in 13 games when Kansas lit up Eastern Michigan, scoring eight runs off of 14 hits. Taylor's start, though, wasn't quite as strong as his finish. He gave up a leadoff single to open out, walk, strikeout closing the inning. "I was pretty erratic at the beginning." Taylor said. He continued struggling with his control in the second. The 6'4 right-handed pitcher walked Missouri's leadoff batter, Eric Garcia, who stole two bases to get on third. A deep fly to center field enabled Garcia to score, but Taylor responded well and never looked back. "I tried to stop overthrowing and tried to pound the zone more, and everything went well through the top nail ater only 14 pitches. Only one Missouri batter got on base in Taylor's final three innings. "He struggled at first, and then all of the sudden he kicked it in and really shoved it to them once we got the lead," senior outfitier Jimmy Waters said. "We needed someone to not let somebody back in the ball game, and he did that for us tonight." Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait innings. President pitcher Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through. Edited by Erin Wilbert PHILANTHROPY Former KU star uses basketball to help families BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com Wayne Simien and Joe Reitz represent two successful outreach programs for underprivileged children and their families in Lawrence. Through their hard work, families who find themselves in devastating situations can find hope through Family Promise, A. and discouraged children can gain confidence through Call to Greatness. Both organizations are nonprofit and, with this fund Simien raiser, are bringing hope to families in need. The first annual Wayne Simien Free Throw Challenge will take place this Sunday, with a preliminary round on Saturday. All ages beginning at fourth grade and up are welcome to participate in a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence and Wayne Simien's ministry, Call to Greatness, which consists of camps for children in junior high and below.

Simien focuses on encouragement and positive reinforcement through athletics, ensuring that each child knows giving his or her life to Jesus Christ ensures greatness. Rietz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources" Reitz said. Opened in November of 2008. Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town, is a fragile economy for people who are "on the margin," Reitz said. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help." Reitz said. Completely nonprofit, both programs run off of private donations, company sponsorships, and fundraising. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it." Reitz said. Saturday is the opening round and there are five different places to try out.

Edited by Jacque Weber --- SPEAK 1 MEAN GIRLS COINA COMP CHEER A SMALL RUMOR THAT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE Contributed photo Lifted spirit: Laura Erdall (center) finds comfort with her competitive cheerleading team after her friends ostracized her from their social group and spread a hurtful rumor about her around school. I watched the lunch lady fidget with her hair net as she stirred the marinara sauce with a large spoon. Sweat trickled down her face and the pit stains on her over-sized white t-shirt had turned a yellowish tint. I wondered if she was as lonely as me. I quickly snapped out of my gaze when I felt audge on my shoulder to keep the line going. I grabbed a bag of Cheez-itz crackers and blue PowerAde and tapped my foot impatiently while waiting for my change. This was the worst part of the day, walking through the cafeteria to get to the bathroom. I made sure to not make any eye contact; I focused my attention on the tiled floor and made my way past all the lunch tables. As if I timed it perfectly, whispers began to fill the room. Conversations stopped and the giggles surfaced. The tiny hairs on the back of my neck stood straight out and I could feel my face begin to boil. Don't cry, Laura. I had 15 feet to go; I could see the women's bathroom straight ahead, my sanctuary and my escape. Once I made it in I went to the last stall, threw down my backpack and slowly lowered my body to the ground. I always went to that stall; it had the most graffiti scribbled on the side of the walls. I enjoyed reading the poems, the love confessions and the "I hate the world" remarks. I heard the last set of hands being washed and the door swing behind them. I was finally alone. I began to sob, something that had become a daily ritual in the last couple of months. Rewind to two months before and you wouldn't have even recognized me. I was outgoing, sat in the front row bleachers at the football games and would hitch rides with the cute senior boys. But that New Year's Eve changed my life forever. That night I not only lost my best friend, the queen bee of our sophomore class, but my friend group completely shunned me and my entire grade eventually rejected me. It's interesting how one person can have so much power, and how that power can hypnotize others around them and eventually make them followers. Is this a cliché of Mean Girls? Maybe so. But it doesn't feel like a cliché when it happens to you. One rumor turned everyone against me. On New Year's Eve I stayed at my best friend Anna's house. It was after midnight when her brother and his friend, who were both freshmen in college, stumbled through the side door of their sunroom. He dangled a half bottle of Jack Daniels in front of us and motioned that we follow them to the basement for some drinks. A good hour of playing cards and darts went by, and before I knew it I was alone on the couch with my best friend's brother. I'd had a crush on him two years before, so you can imagine my excitement when he leaned in and kissed me. I mean, come on; I went from being his little sister's dormy friend with braces to making out with him on the couch. "What the hell?" I heard Anna demand from the doorway minutes later. We pulled apart quickly as she threw a water glass across the room and stomped upstairs. A few days later, the majority of my high school already received news that I had "slept" with Anna's older brother, and this lie made a pack of 16-year-old girls seem like savages. They shoved me in the hallway and called me "bitch" in the classrooms. I would get threatening text messages from numbers I didn't even know. The harassment became so horrible that I stopped going out and would stay home every weekend. I woke up one Saturday morning after another eventful night of playing Super Mario Kart with my fifth-grade brothers to find hundreds of strands of toilet paper draped in our trees, bushes and front porch. You would've thought a blizzard came through and hit our house. From far away it looked like a winter wonderland; up close, it was a complete nightmare. Written on the driveway in pink chalk and shaving cream was a painful message; "Slut" and "Go to hell." What saved me was not therapy, but the girls on my competition cheerleading team that I was on throughout the entire year. Those women stuck by me through all of it, especially the senior captains. When I would get prank calls from Anna and the girls while I was out of town for cheerleading competitions, the captains would take my phone and demand that they stop. They'd also invite me over for sleepovers and would let me tag along to go out to lunch. They made me realize that I didn't need to be part of Anna's click because I was better than that. I had to start all over and go make entirely new friends, and I did. If it wasn't for Anna and her followers I would've never met the amazing people that are still in my life today. I'll see the girls now and then when we all come back for breaks; we'll do a head nod and wave, but that's about it. People just pretend like nothing happened. Besides me, my mother is the one who suffered the most through it all. There were so many times she wanted to call the mothers of those girls and tell them what was happening. But I always begged her not to, and she respected my requests. Whenever I'm feeling down she still says to me, "Laura, if you made it through what those girls did to you, you can make it through anything." I'll never fully recover from what they did to me but what happened has made me become the strong woman I am today. // LAURA ERDALL 04 07 11 15 CUBE TRIPLE Parr opted for bouncy balls, which forced racers to spin around if hit by one. peels that racers used against opponents.

Johnson said the platform stemmed from listening to a friend's parents reminisce about their time at the University. "They talked about how when they went to school they remember having concerts after basketball games," Johnson said. "And we would like to welcome big name artists and speakers, things like that, back into Allen Fieldhouse and even Memorial Stadium." KUnited's goal is to make those venues more accessible as an option to infrequently house big events. SUA president Rachel Anderson said attempts were made year after year to have an event in Allen Fieldhouse. "Something like what KUnited is proposing would be ideal," Anderson said.

We walked in here today like it was a Big 12 championship with Texas," coach Ritch Price said. In six innings on the mound, Taylor gave up one hit for one run, while striking out a career-best of nine batters. Taylor got the start on the mound last season as well, allowing two hits and no runs in 5.2 innings. The Overland Park native has thrown 11.2 innings at game when I was two," Taylor said. "I've always wanted to pitch here." The young hurler led the Jayhawks in their 7-1 win over Missouri in the home of the Royals. The bats for Kansas gave Taylor plenty of cushion, exploding for seven runs off of nine hits in the Jayhawks' best offensive performance in 13 games when Kansas lit up Eastern Michigan, scoring eight runs off of 14 hits. Taylor's start, though, wasn't quite as strong as his finish. He gave up a leadoff single to open out, wak, strikeout closing the inning. "I was pretty erratic at the beginning." Taylor said. He continued struggling with his control in the second. The 6'4 right-handed pitcher walked Missouri's leadoff batter, Eric Garcia, who stole two bases to get on third. A deep fly to center field enabled Garcia to score, but Taylor responded well and never looked back. "I tried to stop overthrowing and tried to pound the zone more, and everything went well through the top nail after only 14 pitches. Only one Missouri batter got on base in Taylor's final three innings. "He struggled at first, and then all of the sudden he kicked it in and really shoved it to them once we got the lead," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. "We needed someone to not let somebody back in the ball game, and he did that for us tonight." Taylor matched his career high of eight strikeouts after fanning the first batter in the fourth inning, and he didn't have to wait innings. First innier pitcher Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray combined for three innings on the mound without giving up a hit or a run to close the game. Although it was a team effort at the big league stadium Wednesday, Taylor took over the game and never allowed Missouri to sniff any momentum at the plate. The lights were bright, the stage appeared to be bigger than ever, and Taylor came through.

Through their hard work, families who find themselves in devastating situations can find hope through Family Promise. and discouraged children can gain confidence through Call to Greatness. Both organizations are nonprofit and, with this fundraiser, are bringing hope to families in need. PETER C. HARRIS Simien The first annual Wayne Simien Free Throw Challenge will take place this Sunday, with a preliminary round on Saturday. All ages beginning at fourth grade and up are welcome to participate in a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence and Wayne Simien's ministry. Call to Greatness, which consists of camps for children in junior high and below. Campers are allowed to spee cialize in basketball, baseball, football or soccer. Simien focuses on encouragement and positive reinforcement through athletics, ensuring that each child knows giving his or her life to Jesus Christ ensures greatness. "He is a young man of incredible character, the real deal. He is very humble, has a real heart for kids and helping people and he's given his life to the Lord," said partner Joe Reitz on Simien. Ruetz, a former KU employee, is now devoted to helping homeless children and their families through service and he started Family Promise in Lawrence. "I've always been interested in trying to do things the right way, but Family Promise is the best thing I have ever been involved in," he said. "We provide food and shelter but our objective is to get them past whatever problems they have and to get back in a permanent house with a job and sufficient resources," Reitz said. Opened in November of 2008 Family Promise uses faith congregations to house and feed homeless families 365 days a year. Lawrence, being a college town, is a fragile economy for people who are "on the margin," Reitz said. "A University is a great thing, but students drive up the cost of housing so some people who have never been homeless find themselves in desperation that Family Promise can help," Reitz said. Completely nonprofit, both programs run off of private donations, company sponsorships, and fundraising. "We thought this would be a fun way to get our name out there and because KU students love basketball, and get so frustrated at their team when they miss free throws, I thought this would be a perfect time for them to get a shot at it," Reitz said. Saturday is the opening round and there are five different places to try out. The Community Building in downtown Lawrence, 115 W 11th St., Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 2104 Bob Billings Pkwy, Clinton Parkway Assembly of God, 3200 Clinton Pkwy, and Bishop Seabury Academy, 4120 Clinton Pkwy. There are a number of time slots so people will not have to wait in long lines to try out. There will be a referee, and Wayne Simien will visit all of the sites. The finals will be held on WAYNE SIMIEN FREE THROW CHALLENGE Individual competitors and five-person teams will be placed in one of six age groups: 4th and 5th graders Middle schoolers College and young adult (under 30) High schoolers The grand champion will receive an autographed Kansas basketball and reserved seat tickets to a Kansas men's Big 12 game next season. Senior (55+) Individual Entry Fee: $10 Team fee: $15 Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse where Wayne Simien and other players will be present for a fun competition with many prizes. "Companies around Lawrence have been very generous to us," Reitz said, and any KU student who makes the finals and makes more free throws than Reitz will be in a drawing for a unique prize.

The only thing to know for certain is that Elgie isn't now considered the prospect that he once was. He'll probably get drafted this season. If he puts up numbers better than his current .283 batting average, .353 on-base percentage and .435 slugging percentage, maybe he'll get a quality look from a team somewhere around the 20th round, but it will probably be later than that. He'll probably get drafted next year, too, and if he continues his progression, it could be closer to the 10th round. Elgie still might get to the big leagues someday. He is, after all, one of the few Jayhawks that has managed to hit with any consistency or anything resembling power this season. And part of the infinite beauty of the game of baseball is that players with far worse odds than Elgie have become stars. On Wednesday night, you could see the ability that got Elgie drafted in 2008. He roped a double in his first at-bat, scoring Jimmy Waters and spotting the Jayhawks to a one-run lead with two outs in the first inning. In his second at-bat, he laid down a bunt single and scored the Jayhawks' fifth run of the game in the third inning. "If you can't get up to play in this park," he said, "you're probably playing the wrong sport." He played like he belonged under those lights by the hundreds, in that ballpark with the freshly-cut grass and the even more freshly-tamped dirt, in that grand stadium with the fountains in the outfield and seating for 37,000 fans. He looked like a big leaguer. And for one night, in a major-league park, with his big country smile projected even bigger on the mammoth jumbotron in center field, that was a dream come true.

The departure of the twins had been expected since news that they had met with a different agent in Los Angeles last week. Mc. Morris "I have thoroughly enjoyed my Y Mk. Morris C. L. PARKS three seasons as a Kansas Jawhawk, and consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to play for coach Self and his staff," Marcus said in a press release from the company. "It was a difficult decision but I feel it's the right time for me to realize my dream to play in the National Basketball Association." Marcus was the Jayhawks' leading scorer and was named an All-American by several outlets. Markieff was the Jayhawks' leading rebounder and was named All-Big 12. "As I move on to the professional stage of my career I will always remember my time as a Jayhawk," Markieff said. "Playing here has prepared me for the opportunity to have a successful career in the NBA." Marcus said his coaches and teammates made their three years at Kansas great, and also said support from the Jayhawk fans could "never be matched." "We appreciate everything they did for us while we were here," he said. "When we say F.O.E. we are saying Family Over Everything and that includes the Jayhawk Nation." Kansas coach Bill Self said the twins were ready for the NBA. and that he supports "100 percent" their decision to leave Kansas. Self's support in their decision, Markieff said, made it easier. "This decision was tugging at both our hearts," Markieff said. "Coach Self thinks this is a good time and we feel this is the best for us and for our family. We will always be Jayhawks and be part of this family." ESPN's Chad Ford tweeted that both twins are mid-first round picks, while the general consensus among experts is that Marcus could be a late lottery pick (top 14), while Markieff will go a few spots after him. "When the time is right, the time is right and certainly now the time is right for those guys to go onto the next level," Self said. This leaves Kansas with Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey as the only returning posts, but Kansas is still in the running for several recruits in the class of 2011.

Burley Parr, a freshman from Onaga, won an early round of Student Union Activites' Kansas Kart in the visitor's parking lot on Daisy Hill. The event, modeled after the video game Mario Kart, combined a looping track with obstacles and power-ups in the form of water balloons, bouncy balls and banana peels that raced against opponents. Every round eight participants raced through two laps on oversized tricycles. The winner each round was a $15 gift card. Parr opted for bouncy balls, which forced racers to spin around if hit by one. "One hundred percent bouncy ball every time," Parr said. Others went for banana peels. "What's more fun than wearing a banana suit?" Kaplan said. Heather Kaplan, a sophomore from Shawnee, handed out peels to racers. She also donned a banana suit for the event. Kaplan and other event staff originally tried to eat the bananas for the peels but gave up after about 10.

Each book had a sticker on the back that encouraged people to read the book and pass it on to another person. Public library encourages reading with city-wide event BY LAURA SATHER lsather@kansan.com The Lawrence Public Library held its kickoff event for the Read Across Lawrence festival Thursday night. The community initiative featured Harper Lee's classic "To Kill a Mockingbird," a novel that adult programs director Rachel Smalter Hall said would appeal to audiences of all ages. or any age. "Any ages, anyone, if you're neighbors, you're strangers, you're friends, can come together and really talk about the themes involved," Smaller Hall said. In the past, the festival has featured books such as "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote and "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. At Thursday's kickoff event, acclaimed author Charles Shields, who wrote two versions of Harper Lee's biography, explained to readers why the novel continues to be taught in two-thirds of American high schools. "A great book reads you as you read the book," Shields said. "It poses questions that you have to answer. You may not know that you're being asked those questions, but you can't help but think, 'What would I do?'"" Smalter Hall said the whole program cost little to put on. She spent money only on renting venues, bringing in guest speakers, printing brochures, and buying copies of the book to hand out. The library had many additional donors including Signs of Life bookstore, Wells Fargo Bank and the KU Libraries. "Before I came to Lawrence, I didn't realize what an arts hub it was. It's really fun to see that it's not just visual arts; it's not just music arts," Smalter Hall said. "It shows that Lawrence is a very open, welcoming, inclusive arts community, no matter which medium you produce your art in." In addition to donating money, Theatre Lawrence collaborated with the library to put on a stage production of "To Kill a Mockingbird," starting Friday at 7:30 p.m. Smaller Hall said this collaboration of artistic forms says a lot about the city. Smalter Hall said the library would like to get the community more involved in the program in the years to come by maybe letting readers choose the book and bringing in high-profile authors for events. STUDENT SENATE — Edited by Marla Daniels KUnited fined for early chalking KUNITED JOHNSON BLISS KICK-OFF PARTY THURS 10 pm Barry BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Student Senate fined the KUnited coalition $50 for chalking before permitted. The Student Senate elections commission voted Thursday to fine the KUnited coalition a total of $50 for two separate violations of the elections code. The commission found that KUNited had violated election rules by chalking on campus before the official start of the election season and by leaving stacks of handbills in a fraternity house. The election code mandates that chalking may not begin until five weeks before the election. Each violation incurred a $25 fine. Chris Bronson/KANSAN File Photo RenewKU filed a total of four complaints with the commission. The third complaint also concerned the distribution of handbills but was unanimously dismissed. The fourth complaint, concerning the location of a KUnited campaign table, was withdrawn. The complaints were filed between March 1 and March 15. Representatives of KUnited had argued that they should not be sanctioned for the chalking violation because the official election calendar had not been released at the time of the incident, leaving them to interpret the rules for themselves. Representatives of KUnited and RenewKU disagreed as to whether those five weeks were meant to include spring break. Including spring break in the five weeks would put KUnited's early March chalking before the permitted start date. The election commission ruled that spring break be included in the five-week period and unanimously voted to sanction KUnited. "We did foresee the possibility of a complaint," Alex Rippberger, a senator for KUnited and a sophomore from Olathe, said. "That's why we have an elections commission." Justin Hitt, campaign manager for RenewKU and a junior from DON'S AUTO CENTER 11TH AND HASKELL (785)-841-4833 SINCE 1974 STAY ON THE ROAD WITH THE HAWKS Phi Delt Mom's Day Weekend is coming~ "Mom's Know More than You Think!" KU MOM PDT Hitt said he was pleased that the violations had been entered into the record, but disappointed at the size of the sanctions. Desoto, said that the early chalking gave a false impression that KUnited was the only coalition campaigning, which could damage the integrity of the election. "Coalitions regularly spend $7,000 or $8,000 on a campaign," Hitt said. "I'm not sure this is going to send the message." During the hearing, Hitt and KenewKU finance chair Sean Elliott also voiced their displeasure with the handling of the election calendar by senate chief of staff Aaron Dollinger and raised questions about his involvement in the campaign as a member of KUnited. Hitt said that RenewKU would consider pursuing a complaint against Dollinger through the Senate's court of appeals.

Those who wear a hijab, the traditional headscarf, adhere to a code of modesty that does not allow them to show their hair in public, but Salon Hawk, located on the third floor of the Kansas Union, is sponsoring a special event to allow these women the complete salon experience. A Day of Modesty will take place this Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., when Salon Hawk will black out their windows to allow the needed privacy. Many times, Muslim women are treated in back rooms of a salons or go months between hair appointments. Salon Hawk owner and operator Emily Willis said her experiences hearing stories from clients and friends — who would ask her for at-home haircuts — prompted her to create the event. "Basically every experience I've heard from the girls has been a horror experience," Willis said. "They can't just go somewhere and get their hair cut because they require privacy." Her vision for the event is to support women whose religion and culture doesn't fit into mainstream culture. "Our goal being in the Union is to reach out to every student and give them every opportunity hair care-wise," Willis said. Salon Hawk is the only provider in Lawrence that offers full privacy curtain services, Willis said. Because of the lack of privacy opportunities, women from as far away as Kansas City are scheduled to attend the event, which will benefit the Lawrence Islamic Center. The salon always offers privacy curtains by appointment, which Willis says happens about twice per week. A Day of Modesty will be open to all clients - though no men will be admitted during the event, Muslim or otherwise. "We don't care where they come from. We don't care if they wear the scarf. We don't care if they don't wear the scarf." Willis said. "We cater to the needs of all students."

Smith, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., took an interest in dance at a young age. Roller skating with his mom and older sister and having an uncle who was a great dancer are among the influences that caused Smith to take up dancing. After the three members of the crew had trouble settling on a name, Smith stepped up with an idea. "Once my dad saw that I liked dancing and going roller skating, he told me all these stories about how my uncle was a great dancer and he was in the East Coast and people would come from all across the country to battle him," Smith said. "So I heard all these exciting stories and I said, 'OK, I want to be like him.'" Smith and his crew, known in Lawrence as the K.I.O.S. Crew, meet a couple of times a month for dance sessions. "I like to relate my dancing to the Jabbawockeez," Smith said of the dance crew that won the first season of America's Best Dance Crew. "They are actually one of my idols when it comes to dancing." Smith said he generally liked to describe his style of dancing as hip-hop and pop-lock style dancing. "Last year we danced to real old school style music, so I was like 'OK, dancing old school. Kicking it old school. K.I.O.S." Smith said. K. I.O.S. Crew is training for KU's Best Dance Crew April 13 at 7 p.m. Smith said the crew had its routine and music down last year, but they lost. This year, they are looking at things differently. For Smith, one of the most difficult aspects of putting together a performance is the music. "For this competition this year, we have been trying to get our mindset together and think of the best and possible routines that will work for all of us," said Ricky Yang, member of the K.I.O.S. Crew and sophomore from Kansas City, Kan. "My friends like to get the moves and then get the music but, with me, I like to base my moves around the music," Smith said. It took about two weeks to get the songs together, and now the K.I.O.S. Crew is finalizing moves for the KU's Best Dance Crew competition. "I think performing in front of a crowd is lots of fun," said Pheng Bang, member of K.I.O.S. Crew and freshman from Kansas City, Kan. "Putting together dances to show what you can do as a team and as an individual is lots of fun, I think." Smith said he believed everyone could dance well and, once people got out of their comfort zones, they could get better. "Don't just keep your moves to OTHERTEAMS PARTICIPATING IN KU'S BEST DANCE CR Jeeva K.I.O.S. Unity Dance Marathon Asian Sandwich and three other unnamed teams yourself," Smith said.

Edited by Marla Daniels Kansas Relays moves select events to downtown Lawrence this year KANSAS RELA BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas sophomore Lawson Montgomery competes in heat six of the men's 110 meter hurdle preliminary event Friday morning at Memorial Stadium. Lawson took first in his heat with a time of 14.64 seconds, advancing him to the final event. An 84-year-old Lawrence tradition will take a new turn when the Kansas Relays take over the downtown area next month. Three events — the elite men's shot put, the elite men's long jump, and the street mile — will be held in downtown Lawrence on April 20 and 21. After seeing videos from similar street shot puts that took place in Europe, relays director Milan Donley had the idea to hold the Relays events downtown, something he said has never been done in the United States. The city will cooperate with KU Athletics for the events by allowing temporary street closings downtown. The long jump will be held on 8th Street between Massachusetts and Vermont streets at 6 p.m. on Thursday. Assembly of a runway and sandpit for competition will cause the street to shut down from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the day of the competition. Donley said he chose the shot put and long jump as the featured events because of their appeal and portability. The nine athletes competing in the invitational sections of shot put and long jump rank among the top in the world, and will most likely deliver impressive performances. The street mile event will feature a few professional athletes, but it is the only event that will also accept citizen entries. "There will be a few elite runners in there, but it mainly a citizen's race," Donley said. Registration is open to the public and requires a fee of $18, which includes a T-shirt and button for the Kansas Relays events. A larger, more demanding layout will be required for the shot put competition, and 8th Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets will be closed from 6 a.m. Attractions around the stadium will include food vendors, athletic apparel vendors and a fun zone. Adidas will provide a new fun zone event in which spectators can line up for a 40-yard sprint to test their In addition to the new location of the Relays, the events at Memorial Stadium will boast some new features. 10 to p. 11. Wednesday. The street mile will close New Hampshire and Vermont streets from 7th to 11th streets, as well as the intersection of 11th and Massachusetts streets. On Saturday, Olympic champion, Veronica Campbell-Brown will run the 100-meter dash, and in high school competition, the girl's and boy's mile and 100-meter races will be featured as part of the Jim Ryun Dream Mile event. The winners of each race will receive an automatic bid to compete in the Dream Mile events at the Adidas Grand Prix this summer in New York. speed against American record- holder Tyson Gay.

LOUIS — Scott Stapp, known for the big, loud concerts he performed as lead singer of arena rock band Creed, strips it all down on his latest tour. "I'm excited to get out there and bare my soul." Stapp says. "I'm breaking the songs down to the core, and this enables me to really push my boundaries as a vocalist." He says the shows feature him and a friend on a pair of acoustic guitars, playing Creed hits and songs from Stapp's first solo album, "The Great Divide" (2005). Translating the hits of Creed, whose biggest songs include "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open," to acoustic versions was an easy task for Stapp because the songs were originally written acoustically, he says. He'll also cover songs that he has come to love over the years. Some of those songs might include the Doors"Riders on the Storm" and "Light My Fire," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Alice Cooper's "18." J.A. VICKERS, SR. AND ROBERT F. VICKERS, SR.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: E equals M CRYPTOQUIP MOVIES "The Office" actor becomes quirky superhero in 'Super' MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Best known as Dwight, the perpetually failing schemer on "The Office," Rainn Wilson is blessed with a swell face for a cut-rate, homemade superhero mask. Those glaring eyes really pop through. And the actor's way of italicizing his comic reactions to the latest perceived or genuine slight has a way of filling out even an ill-fitting crime fighter's uniform. In writer-director James Gunn's "Super," Wilson plays Frank, aullen fry cook who is good and sick of feeling like a loser. His recovering addict wife (Liv Tyler) has been seduced, both chemically and sexually, by a drug-dealing Lothario (Kevin Bacon). Frank speaks to God, pleading for guild- ance. Zoning out in front of the TV, watching a Christian network, Frank gets an idea via a superhero character known as The Holy Avenger (Nathan Fillion): Why not become his own superhero savior, The Crimson Bolt, and get that woman off his back? With the hyperactive assistance of a comics store clerk who nicknames herself "Bolite", the wrench-wielding Frank starts putting both scum and casual transgressors alike in the hospital, or the morgue. LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 644 Mass 104-1012 (785) 749-1023 CEDAR RAPIDS (R) SOMEWHERE (R) Ellen Page, as the clerk with the insatiable bloodlust, is the best thing about "Super." "We could get claws! Like Wolverine!" she says, so excited she can barely contain herself. The face-gashings and blood geysers grow increasingly explicit in "Super," partly for laughs, partly because Gunn — who started out writing for FRI(4:40) 7:10 SAT(2:30) 7:00 SUN(2:30) 7:00 FRI: 9:15 ONLY SAT: (4:40) 9:15 SUN: (4:40) 9:15 The film's limitation is its familiarity. The notion of an ordinary citizen becoming a superhero, with or without superpowers, carries little creative currency at this point in time. Still, Wilson does amusingly steely work, while Page goes bonkers, giving her gleeful nut job one of the more memorable laughs in recent American film history. THE ILLUSIONIST (PO) FRI-SAT: NO SHOWS the notorious trashmeisters of Troma films and directed a very good killer movie, "Slither"—has an interest in complicating, to some degree, the audience's attitude toward Frank. He's like the schlubby second cousin to the George C. Scott character in the revenge thriller "Hardcore", a scold when it comes to his side-kick's expletives ("No cussing!") and a righteous kettle of violence.

If nothing else, learn how to Facebook covertly HUMOR Have you ever been sitting in class, minding your own business, when all of the sudden your professor rudely interrupts your Facebook chat to call you out for not paying attention? You were probably totally embarrassed, spending the remainder of the class period stewing with anger over the tremendous atrocity your professor committed upon your innocent and now-blushing visage. Perhaps you contemplated revenge, wondering what crime you could possibly have professor torwiek arrested for. Turns out the answer is simple: assault! Last week, Dr. Frank Rybicki of Valosta State University was arrested for closing a laptop on the hands of a student who evidently was a notorious class-time Web surfer. The student pressed assault charges, and Dr. Rybicki was suspended. For closing a student's laptop. If that seems stupid and unfair, it's because it's really stupid and really, really unfair. I will help you. BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com This whole situation is basically David Mamet's controversial play "Oleanna," except with all the trenchant psychosexual drama replaced by a real-life Twitter feud. Now, I'm of the belief that draconian laptop policies are counterproductive. Personally, I'm far more likely to be distracted with a pen and a paper — with their sweet promises of infinite fantastic doodles beckoning me to pay no attention to the infidrone buzzing endlessly in front of the classroom — than by my computer, where I can only check Facebook and Gmail so many times before I'm bored enough to actually start listening to the professor handwritten notes are often indecipherable, even to me) and augment the lecture or discussion by providing me with in-depth Wikipedia pages about virtually anything the professor mentions. Also, using a laptop can radically improve my learning experience, allowing me to produce legible notes (my However, I also believe that laptops are often misused and abused by lazy students who seem to believe that they can acquire information simply by being in a classroom, and that their attention can be dedicated to Tetris while said information floats through their ears and sticks to their brains. Those students are fairly easy to spot, and any professor who is trying to impart upon his or her students the wondrous gift of knowledge is completely right to be irritated by their zombie-like presence. It's another question entirely whether it's really worth it to call these students out in front of the whole class. If professors felt the need to confront every inconsiderate student for his or her jackassery, the syllabus of every course would simply read: "The entirety of each class will consist of me confronting every inconsiderate student for his or her jackassery. The final exam will be cumulative." And that jackassery, annoying though it may be to the professor, is usually not nearly as disruptive as the professor's response to it. It usually brings the class to a screeching halt, and the rest of the lecture is so fraught with awkward tension that uncomfortable students usually find themselves wishing they hadn't been paying attention. The key, I think, is to be covert in your distractedness. There's a guy in one of my classes who spends virtually the entire time looking at collegehumor.com. But he also frequently contributes to the discussion, and more than that, he actually makes pretty good points. It's really quite impressive. If we could all become master multi taskers, then wed have no need for frivolous assault charges. Can't we all just get along and at least pretend to pay attention in class?

FAITH Relationship with God should determine decision about sex When the church is asked about sex before marriage, most pastors say the church does not endorse premarital sex, write a couple of Bible verses down and send you on your way. But according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 80 percent of unmarried young adult Evangelicals have had sex compared to 88 percent young adult non-Evangelicals. "Don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and die! Don't have sex in the missionary position. Don't have sex standing up. Just don't do it. OK? Promise!" This scene from the movie "Mean Girls" is what most teenagers hear growing up — being told what to do and how to lead a perfect lifestyle But once in college, we start to make our own decisions. Feelings and emotions become real and ultimately most students are faced with the decision on whether to have sex with their significant other. BY ALLISON BONE Something is not working within the church to get across its message. I believe that whether or not unmarried couples are having sex, it is important to remember God in the relationship. Now, it's not like in the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and saying "you have Christ between your thighs." I am talking about a true relationship with God. Having God truly present in day-to-day conversations and experiences with a significant other. It is important to first choose to date someone who has the same enthusiasm for God as you do. Try to be in a relationship with someone who BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com will build you up in your faith and encourage you to grow. After the relationship starts, having God present in dating relationships can take several different forms. Praying and reading the Bible together, discussing your personal spiritual lives with each other and where you are on your faith journey can all help strengthen your relationship with God and each other. Even participating in service projects or getting involved in a church together can help the relationship become more meaningful. Above all, though, keep God in mind as much as possible throughout the relationship. If you are doing everything you can to have a meaningful relationship with God and your significant other, then perhaps taking relationships to the next level by having sex may not be such a bad thing. Either way, it's up for each individual couple to decide the boundaries of their relationship — not anyone else. Bond is a junior from Andover in journalism and religious studies. The Weekly Poll The Weekly Poll Do you think alcohol should be served on campus? 10% 28% 62% 153 total votes . --- Yes No Only for special occasions KANSAN.COM RELIGION Religion can bridge differences rather than create divides Does religion cause violence and hatred? History and current events offer uncountable violent acts that seem inextricably intertwined with religion. Last week, a Christian congregation in Florida burned Quran and posted the video online. Enraged, some Afghani Muslims overran a United Nations facility, killing twenty people. Our long history of religion-driven hatred and conflict leads people to reject all religion. Who can accept a set of beliefs that have such negative manifestations? Then we try to solidify and define our group; we try to make that division deeper. Even the University of Kansas versus University of Missouri division has sometimes crossed from fun into damaging conflict. BY HANNAN BONDY Religion is not the true cause of violence. Religion is exploited to incite conflict. It's a powerful tool for destruction because of the role it plays in humans' historical tendency to form exclusive groups. We form these groups around race, nationality, language, sports teams and any other superficial division we can find. It feels good to be part of a group. It BY HANNAH SANDAL hsandal@kansan.com Religion is the holy grail of this "othering," as anthropologists have called it. Lines separating religions often coincide with ethnic and national divisions. This compounds the effects and enables the creation of a vast gulf between "us" and "them." Leaders whose purpose is to increase power, following or wealth feels good to exclude others who aren't good enough — or who are maybe just too different — to be members. It can be comforting because it helps us affirm to ourselves that we are special and important. The problem is that to increase our own sense of importance, we minimize that of other ethnicities, nationalities or religions. might exploit this division to achieve their goals. That is what the Christian pastor in Florida did when he told the world he planned to burn the Quran. That is what Hamid Karzai did when he incited violence over the Ouran burning This is an artificial and damaging imposition on religion. The Dalai Lama acknowledges real differences among religions, but he also teaches that every major religion has "similar ideals of love, the same goal of benefiting humanity through spiritual practice and the same effect of making their followers into better human beings." Whether it's Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism or Jainism, nothing in religious teachings or proper practice encourages violence and hatred. The most respected figures in each religion lead by example and teach from personal realization. They tell us how to develop profound compassion and love for all. This is the most important commonality among all major religions. A statement attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) exemplifies this: "You will not enter paradise until you have faith; and you will not complete your faith until you love one another." In the Bible, the Gospel of John reiterates at least six times that Jesus commanded his followers to "love one another," (e.g. John 13.34, 15.12, 15.17) In the Talmud, a Jewish scripture, a statement attributed to Rabbi Hillel is this: The central meaning of the Torah is "that which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man." In the several Hindu faiths, love and compassion also play a central role. For example, it is taught that those who have fully understood religious teachings are fully focused on anugraham or doing good to others. (Srimad Bhagavatam 1.19.23) The fostering of conflict in the name of religion is a tool used by unscrupulous people who want more power and influence. To that end, they exploit religion and they exploit the populace. They degrade religious traditions and underline the essential foundation of all religions: love one another. It is this foundation upon which we should focus. Sandal is a third year law student from Baldwin City. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Send letters to kansanopdesk@gmail.com.

Ghafour signed copies of his new book after the talk for those who purchased it. KU graduate student hopes his book will help people deal with stereotypes BY SABRINA AHMED editor@kansan.com Goran Sabah Ghafour wrote his book while at the University of Kansas as a Fulbright Scholar. "Iraqi Fulbrighter," which was published in February of this year, was written to break down the stereotypes between Middle Easterners and Americans. Goran Sabah Ghafour, author of "Iraqi Fulbrighter," hosted a book signing at the Kansas Union last night to spread the word about his book. "Instead of hate and fear, they can come together and understand each other." Ghafour said. Ibrahima Bo, Ghafour's roommate and the first person who read the story, thinks the book will have a positive effect on future relations between Middle Eastern and American cultures. "I hope it's going to have quite a big success because it deals with topics that each and every [person] can be interested in." Bo said. Since the book's release, Ghafour has been publicizing his work. The book has since earned recognition and received offers for translations in Kurdish and Arabic to be published in Kurdistan. The book is also becoming popular in the United States. "Recently, in San Diego, an organization emailed me to have a book launch to talk about my book fair," Ghafour said. The offer in California is pending, but Ghafour is hopeful that it will work in his favor. barriers between Americans and Middle Easterners and change the opinion of just one person, then his book is a success.

NATIONAL The U.S. Department of Education hopes to raise number of college graduates by 2020 Obama establishes college "Tool Kit" BY SHAUNA BLACKMON shlarkmon at kargosg "Everything was handed to me, but I wanted to be self-sufficient," Lowry said. Phil Lowry had a comfortable life. Growing up, his parents paid for everything from rent to food to spending money. He didn't have to work, but he chose to anyway. Within a few months of his third attempt at college Lowry was working upwards of 45 hours per week in addition to taking 15 credit hours at the University of Kansas. This kind of workload wasn't sustainable and it didn't take long for Lowry to quit school. Thousands of students like Lowry drop out of universities every year for a myriad of reasons. According to the U.S. Department of Education, while 51 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 to 34 start college, only 29 percent finish. The United States used to lead the world in the number of college-educated citizens, but in the past few decades, the U.S. has fallen into a four-way tie for ninth place with Israel, Belgium and Australia. To combat this slipping number, the Obama administration presented a "College Completion Tool Kit" last week. The program offers ideas on how to enhance college graduation rates through strategies that are at "low-cost" or "no-cost" to the state. These strategies include aligning high school In order for the U.S. to reach its goal of a 50 percent increase of college educated citizens, the Department of Education said each state would need to have a 60 percent retention and graduation rate by 2020. So far, the University of Kansas is on the right track with a 59,7 graduation rate, according to the American Institute for Research. However "The dreams and skills of our college graduates will pave the way to a bright economic future." standards with college entrance and placement standards, making it easier for students to transfer and targeting adults with some college education but no degree. Obama's administration's main push is reducing cost for students. JOE BIDEN Vice President while the University is on the right track, there is still room for improvement. To meet the 2020 goal, the U.S. will have to produce at least 8 million additional college graduates by the end of the decade. "Right now, we've got an education system that works like a funnel when we need it to work like a pipeline." Vice President Joe Biden said in a press release. "The dreams and skills of our college graduates will pave the way to a bright economic future for our nation."

If the proposed republican spending bill is approved, something in particular will be shut down for 5 million Americans, which includes 45,000 Kansans and 3,245 Douglas County residents: Reproductive health care and family planning. Since 1970, the Title X Family Planning program has provided federal funding for contraceptives, breast examinations, cervical cancer screening, pregnancy testing, sexually transmitted infection testing and prevention education. It is the only federal program focused exclusively on reproductive health care. Last year, $317 million in Title X grants were given to 4,400 clinics nationwide. In Kansas, 55 clinics received grant money, delegated by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The Lawrence-Douglas County Department of Health received $198,000. "With the economy the way it is, more and more families are under-insured or uninsured altogether," said Sarah Gillooyl, public affairs manager of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. "It's important that they have access to vital and basic care." "If funding is taken away, we wouldn't be able to keep the clinic open," said Lisa Horn, communications coordinator for the Lawrence-Douglas County the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. "Mos family planning programs are funded largely, if not completely, by Title X." More than 4,000 people use the clinic's services. Horn says that although KU students regularly seek out contraceptives and testing at the clinic, because resources are in high demand, they are often advised to go to Watkins Health Center instead. In addition to county health department clinics, two Kansas Planned Parenthood clinics receive Title X funding, located in Wichita and Hays. These two clinics administered 18,000 sexually transmitted infection tests. The Guttmacher Institute found that in 2008, every dollar spent in Title X funding saved the federal government $3.74 in medical costs. In Kansas, every Title X dollar saved $6.14 in medical costs. "We're talking about some of the most economically vulnerable men and women in Kansas losing access to afford- can end up costing the government much more money in state health costs" "Our clinic is really the only aspect of the Health Department that runs like a doctor's office," Horn said. "If low-cost STD testing and treatment isn't available, it could be very difficult to contain their spread." "If funding is taken away, we wouldn't be able to keep the clinic open." Despite republican attempts able health care," Gilloolly said. Representatives Kevin Yoder and Lynn Jenkins voted in favor of the proposed spending bill, and legislation passed a party vote in the house Feb. 19. According to the Guttmacher Institute, contraceptive services provided by Title X prevented 8,100 unintended pregnancies and 3,400 abortions last year in Kansas. More than $25.4 million was saved in public funds. LISA HORN Communications coordinator for Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department able health care," Gillooly said.

Edited by Tali David AWARDS Diverse students celebrate program's 40th anniversary BY NICOLE WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com The School of Engineering's minority program commemorates its 40th anniversary tomorrow, coincidentally falling during Celebrate Diversity Month. A. B. K. The program, the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating, and Educating Black Engineers, was founded in 1971. Since then, the group has morphed into several programs within the School of Engineering Boldridge "Students getting into the school were not as well versed in the subject matter, and in math science, as they should have been," said Florence Boldridge, director of Diversity and Women's Programs for the School of Engineering. "So the administration and two or three individuals decided to do something about it." Society for the past 27 years. These groups, comprised of 150 scholarship students, were established to recruit and retain engineering students from diverse backgrounds. Boldridge has overseen the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers and the American Indian Science and Engineering "I work to keep them in the school; it takes lots of counseling." Boldridge said. "T.I.e things that these kids are learning to do impact lives." Boldridge also oversees the awarding of scholarships to minority engineering students, as well as the outreach activities and programs hosted by the School of Engineering. "Just to think that someone thought so much of me to nominate me meant an awful lot," Boldridge said. The Golden Torch Award was presented to Boldridge at a ceremony in St. Louis on March 26. These activities, including Project Discovery, SWE Weekend of Engineering and Eureka Weekend, target students from sixth to 12th grade and introduce them to the engineering field. Boldridge's efforts have not gone unnoticed. Carles Miller, a 2006 KU graduate and Boldridge's former student, nominated her for the National Society of Black Engineer's Golden Torch Award for Minority Engineering Program Director of the Year. the country who do the same thing at all of the major schools of engineering as I," Boldridge said. "I really accepted it in their honor, as well as the students, past, present and the future." The celebration of the School of Engineering's minority program will be held tomorrow in Spahr Classroom 2 in Eaton Hall. "The field of engineering is a competitive one, and one in which minorities and women have made giant strides, but there is much to be accomplished and it is through programs such as the diversity programs of the School of Engineering and the School of Engineering administration that the student receive the support and encouragement to reach their goal of a degree in engineering," Boldridge said. "There are so many people across Fred Rodriguez, interim associate vice provost of diversity and equity and executive director of the KU Multicultural Scholars Program, agrees that diversity on campus should be a priority. "Demographically, we are changing gradually in this country but profoundly," said Rodriguez."To have a diverse campus is a much more accurate reflection of the society and the world in which we live, work, learn and share together." INTERNATIONAL Edited by Helen Mubarak Strong aftershock in Japan knocks out power in north The afterhock around 11:30 p.m. was strong enough to knock items off store shelves and move a large automated teller machine at a FamilyMart convenience store in the major northern industrial center of Sendai. The city is far enough inland that it avoided major tsunami damage, but people there were without gas and electricity for weeks. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage, and the operator of the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant said there was no sign the afterschock had caused new problems there. Workers retreated to a quake-resistant shelter in the complex, with no injuries. "Usually at this time of night, there is almost no one," said Akagi, whose store had power even though Manager Takehiko Akagi said 100 people had showed up within an hour of Thursday's aftershock and cleared the shelves of ice, water and instant noodles — items that were in short supply after the bigger quake. ASSOCIATED PRESS SENDAI, Japan - A big aftershock rocked quake-weary japan late Thursday, rattling nerves as it knocked out power to the northern part of the country and prompted tsunami warnings that were later canceled. The quake was initially measured at magnitude-7.4, though the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., later downgraded it to 7.1. Either way, it was the strongest aftershock since several were recorded on March 11 — the day of the magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami that killed as many as 25,000 people and touched off a nuclear crisis last month. "It is the way it supposed to work if power is lost for any reason," said David Lochbaum, director of the nuclear safety project for the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists. Since the tsunami warning was canceled 90 minutes after it was issued, there was no reason to believe the facilities' diesel generators would fail like the ones at the stricken Fukushima plant. The massive wave knocked out cooling systems and triggered a series of mishaps that have left workers struggling to stop radioactivity from spewing nearly a month later. "That was really the blow that the plant didn't recover from," Lochbaum said. people in nearby neighborhoods did not. A handful of buildings had broken windows and tiles, and some small electrical fires were reported.

Hotel workers lit candles so guests could find their way around. Japan's nuclear safety agency said nuclear facilities along the northeastern coast were under control after backup generators kicked in at two Rokkasho and Higashidori — that lost power. The aftshock knocked out two of three power lines at the Onagawa nuclear power plant north of Sendai, which has been shut down since the tsunami. One remaining line was supplying power to the plant and radiation monitoring devices detected no abnormalities. The plant's spent fuel pools briefly lost cooling capacity, but it resumed because a power line was available for electricity. international awarenessweek WORLD EXPO THIS AFTERNOON april 7 at 12pm Ballroom, Kansas Union HCC @ Wamego Affordable-Accessible-Transferable HIGHLAND Community College Find Your Fit at HCC! 15 Minutes from Lawrence 20 Minutes from Topeka HCC @ Day & Evening Classes Convenient Locations Financial Aid Opportunities Small Class Size PERRY CENTER OPEN HOUSE April 12, 2011 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Food will be served Community and Potential Students Invited 203 West Ridge Perry, KS 66073 www.highlandcc.edu 785.597.0127 8A / SPORTS / FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM BASEBALL Kansas faces conference rival KANSAS 11 BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Freshman shortstop Ka'iana Eldredge snags a throw from junior catcher James Stanfield to throw out a Baylor runner during Sunday afternoon's game at Hoglund Ballpark. Eldredge went 0-3 in the Jawhawks 12-4 loss to Bailor. The strong Kansas baseball pitching staff will take on Nebraska, which has one of the most talented lineups in the Big 12 conference, this weekend. The series will be crucial for the Jayhawks, who have been strong in conference play after struggling early in the season. "It's huge," coach Ritch Price said. "We could get back to .500 in the league and we'll have won three out of the four series we've played." Kansas (13-16) will be facing Nebraska (20-11) in a three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark this Friday 6 p.m., Saturday 2 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m. After beating Missouri Wednesday, Kansas hopes its strong play will carry into the weekend. "This weekend we have another opportunity to play a rival, and build some momentum in the Big 12." Price said. Nebraska has a lineup that boasts impressive power numbers as well as a solid team batting average. The Cornhuskers rank fourth in the conference in batting average at .293 and second in home runs hit at 22. Nebraska also ranks second in the conference with 206 runs. Behind those strong numbers at the plate are three of the best hitters in the Big 12. Nebraska's junior infielder Cody Asche has hit as many home runs, seven, as the entire Kansas roster. Utility player Kash Kalkowski and infielder Kurt Farmer both posses batting averages in the top 10 of the Big 12. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, will bring sub-par - but improving - hitting and a strong pitching staff into this weekend's series. The Kansas lineup has a team batting average of just .243 compared with the Jayhawks hitting .220 just 13 games ago — before conference play kicked into gear. The layhawks inconsistency at the plate has resulted in the team playing up or down to their competition so far this year. Missouri State dismantled Kansas in two games played this year with a combined score of 11-1. Kansas also lost two of three at home against Eastern Michigan. Yet the Jayhawks have won both of their series against Big 12 competition, winning two-of-three against both Baylor and Oklahoma State. Friday's starter for Kansas will be senior right-handed pitcher T.J. Walz. Walz has an ERA of 3.86 and has allowed opponents to hit .217 against him. He has been dominant since Big 12 play started — his ERA in three Big 12 starts is 2.42 and he leads the Big 12 in strikeouts with 27 during that span. "TJ. has an opportunity to go out on Friday night and make a statement," Price said. Saturday's starter will be sophomore right-handed pitcher Tanner Poppe. Poppe has been dominant in six starts with an ERA of 3.26. Taking the mound in Sunday's game will be freshman right-handed pitcher Alex Cox. The freshman has an ERA of 4.83. Team heads to Texas Relays in Austin TRACK AND FIELD BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com The Kansas track and field team is looking to build on its strong performance last Saturday at the Razorback Spring Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., when it competes at the 84th annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, this weekend. The Jayhawks have 33 athletes competing in the four-day event, which began Wednesday and will continue through Saturday. Sophomore Rebecca Neville, a women's heptathlon competitor, was the lone Jayhawk to compete until Friday. She took eighth place in the 100-meter dash, seventh in the 200-meter dash, 16th in the high jump, 23rd in shot put and fifth in long jump. She is in 10th place out of 25 competitors in the women's heptathlon. A week after winning all but one event in Arkansas, the throwers will lead the 12th-ranked men's team this weekend. Freshman Johann Swanepoel and junior Iain Trimble will compete in the javelin, with senior Brian Bishop and sophomore Mason Finley will compete in the discus. Last weekend, Finley won the Razorback Spring Invitational with a throw of 198 feet, setting a new personal record. That throw was the second-best mark in the United States this year, according to an Athletics Department press release. Finley attributed the throwers' success to the emphasis they placed on technique in practice. Finley also had to transition from shot put, his indoor event, to discus, his outdoor event. "There are a couple of moves out of the back of the ring that are different in discus than in shot, and how you enter the throw is a little different," Finley said. "With shot you can be more fierce at the end." On the women's side, freshman Jessica Maroszek will attempt to win the discus for the second straight week. She also claimed the shot put title in Arkansas. Kansas has two women competing in the long jump, sophomores Francine Simpson and Andrea Geubelle. Geubelle, who was an All American in long jump in the 2010 season, will also compete in the triple jump. SAMSON Senior Jordan Scott will be looking to win the pole' vault for the second week in a row when he competes Saturday "I went from a short run, which means you're not on bigger poles and usually don't jump as high. You just work on the technical things," Scott said. "It went really well. I should have qualified for the NCAA Preliminary Round with debut in Arkansas with a jump of 5.2 meters (17.06 feet). that iump." Scott is the defending NCAA Champion in the pole vault, an honor he's been chasing since his freshman year. Now that he's met his goal, Scott is focusing on mastering the mental aspect of pole vaulting to stay on top. "I have physically what it takes to be the best again, but the mental part is the biggest part at this point," Scott said. "I do a lot of mental training. I've got a book that I read and I use visualization." Although the Texas Relays will feature many prominent pole vaulters, Scott is a favorite to take the title, in part because Scott favors outdoor competition. "I realized I love outdoor a lot more than indoor. A lot of people don't like a headwind or a cross-wind, or the sun or rain. But I thrive off of that," Scott said. On the track, senior Kendra Bradley, freshman Diamond Dixon, sophomore Taylor Washington and junior Shayla Wilson will compete in the women's 4-by-400 meter relay and the sprint medley relay, two events in which the Jayhawks figure to do well. Juniors Cori Christensen and Rebeka Stowe will compete for the Jayhawks in the 1,500 meters. Christensen is coming off of a fifth place finish in Arkansas last weekend.

A: Howard Cosell, he covered Monday Night Football from 1970-1984. usefultrivia.com Indian cricketer pride of nation MORNING BREW He doesn't look like most chiseled sports heroes who swig bats. He's never been in the midst of a scandal and he's never televised a decision. He is 5-foot-5 and could be mistaken for a professor by those who don't know him MATTHEW PARKINSON In India, home to more than 1.2 billion people, cricket is religion and Tendulkar is God. If you don't believe me, there's a book about it. Sachin Tendulkar, whose first name in Hindi means "pure," is an Indian cricketer. He led his country to a championship over Sri Lanka in the 2011 World Cup of cricket last Saturday, the second cricket championship in the country's history and the first since 1983. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW At one of his matches, among throngs of Indian faithful, one fan hoisted a sign. A human. "To not is Sorry." "To err is human. To not is Sachin." Tendulkar is the only player to have ever scored at least 50 centuries in international cricket. A century is when a batsman, after hitting the ball, scores 100 runs in one inning without getting out. "Runs can be scored by hitting the ball past a boundary and scoring automatically, or by hitting the ball within the boundary and running to the bowler and back." A bowler, similar to a pitcher in baseball, gets a batsman out by hitting the batsman's wicket (three wooden sticks and two pails). The batsman is also out if the ball is caught in the air. Tendulkar now has 99 centuries in his career, and he is the only player to score a double century in the history of ODI (One Day International Cricket). I could go on. By numbers alone, he is considered one of the greatest cricketers of all time, of any country. But these days, he means more than the numbers. Tendulkar's legend was still growing in the 1990s, when India first began to show signs of a rising global power. Goldman Sachs now projects that sometime this century, India will become the third largest economy in the world, after China and the United States. But the Mumbai attacks by Islamic terrorists in November 2008, which some people compare to 9/11, subsided merriment. A press release from the Indian government stated that 164 people and 308 civilians were injured. Then, two and a half years later, India won the World Cup of cricket and 1.2 billion people were able to numb the pains of recent history with celebration. At 37 years old, Tendulkar's career is winding down and this was likely his last World Cup. Cricket means next to nothing to most American kids. It is only a strange game from a foreign place. Why do they let the ball bounce before they hit it? Why does the man throw the ball like that? What's up with their funny looking bats? We grow up playing other sports that correspond, intentionally or not, with the waning attention spans of much of our youth. Some cricket matches last five days. Kids around here have a hard time with two hours of basketball. However, our nation's lack of passion for the sport does not diminish its importance. In another part of the world, a place distant but not lacking global effect, cricket rules the land. India is a country commonly associated with intelligence and innovation, and to have a sports icon is to have a new meaning. Tendulkar may never be part of another Indian World Cup. His disciples, however, may follow his lead and continue to debunk stereotypes.

The Bulls' 17th win in 19 games put them four games up on Boston and Miami with four to play and eliminated the Heat from getting the No.1 seed. But barring a collapse, Chicago will be the top seed in the East. The Celtics, who play the Heat on Sunday, still have a mathematical shot albeit a remote one. It's another step for a team that expected big things after a major overhaul, and all the Bulls have done is deliver their best season since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen made championship celebrations a regular event. Rose was a one-man highlight reel against Rajon Rondo, beating him with his crossover and getting to the rim, particularly in the early going. Rose scored 16 points in the first half as the Bulls jumped out to a 48-43 lead, and Chicago regrouped after momentarily falling behind in the third. Luol Deng scored 23 points, and Carlos Boozer added 14 points and 12 rebounds. Chicago outscored the Celtics 44-22 in the paint, outrebounded them 44-35 and held Boston to 38.4 percent shooting. Paul Pierce led Boston with 15 points. Kevin Garnett scored all 10 of his points in the second half and Rondo finished with seven. Jeff Green scored 10 and Ray Allen had seven points. SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 10A) game. The following batters thrived from a series of walks and singles, and then a home run to score a total of six runs. In the fifth inning of the second game, Ingle was the spark again. She hit a single to get on base and was followed by a walk by freshman utility player Kendra Cullum. Sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull hit a three-run home run to give the Jayhawks a chance to come back. The offense put the team in a position to come back, but the pitching staff fell flat in the defensive innings. The Jeyhawks will face No. 21 ranked Oklahoma State this weekend. Oklahoma State is coming off a home run rule 10-2 victory against Missouri State. "I think our pitchers this weekend need to focus on throwing to the knees and hitting their spots and I think we will be more successful that way," senior catcher Brittany Hile said.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM DECISIONS, DECISIONS PAGE 10A 12 The KU football team practices for the first time this spring. Coach Turner Gill is trying to decide who will start as quarterback in the fall. Jeff Jacobsen/KAl ONE SPOT, FOUR PLAYERS BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com After swapping his red practice jersey for the more common blue or white, former quarterback Katie Pick stands against the fence surrounding the Kansas football practice fields. As media members talk with coaches and select play- Pick team's first spring practice, Pick Dick practices catching balls from a machine, getting in extra reps as he tries to crack the wide receiver rotation in the fall. Pick's Kerry Meier-esque move to receiver helps clear up some of the quarterback confusion as the team heads into training camp, but questions stil Webb Mecham PETER M. ROGER but questions still remain With four quarterbacks on the roster, one a red-shirt freshman and two — Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham — having experience from last year, nothing is certain, which is something the coach prefers. "We'll take it into consideration," coach Turner Gill said of last year's individual performances. "But it doesn't mean it's etched in stone." Statistically, sophomore Jordan Webb has the edge over Mecham. Webb started seven games in 2010, throwing for 1,119 yards and seven touchdowns while leading Kansas to victories over Georgia Tech and New Mexico State. Mecham started four games and appeared in six, throwing for 554 yards and four touchdowns on the year. He also led the team in the 28-point comeback win over Colorado on Nov. 6. After a staggering nine quarterbacks were on the roster last spring, Mecham took notice of the shortened depth chart this spring and thinks it will help the potential starters get more reps in practice. But neither Mecham nor Webb has separated himself from the other. While Pick's roster change cleans up some of the confusion, the addition of freshman quarterback Brock Berglund adds another dimension to the possible starting line-up for fall. Berglund, a three-star recruit from Highlands Ranch, Colo., initially arrived in Lawrence in January prepared to participate in spring drills. That plan was altered when he decided to return home for the spring, opting to reconvene with his teammates in the summer. However, last week, it was announced that Berglund will return for spring practices as an observer. "There's still an opportunity for him to be here in the summer," coach Gill said before news of Berglund's return was announced last week. "He'll have an opportunity to compete at that particular time." Watching practice in Lawrence is better than nothing, and Berglund's opportunity to familiarize himself with the offense this spring could create a four-way battle for the starting quarterback spot this fall. As of now though, anything could happen. "We're going to evaluate it every day, and at the end of spring practice we'll see where we're at," Gill said of the quarterback battle. "If we need to make a decision, we'll make it. If not, we'll continue to evaluate as we go into the fall." Edited by Marla Daniels SOFTBALL Kansas works to strengthen its defense after recent loss 14 Jerry Wang/KANSAI Sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull winds up to throw toward first base. Hull finished with a run and two RBIs in the 12-6 loss at Arrocha Ballpark. BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com "Obviously we have some problems in the circle. I think that is evident," coach Megan Smith said after the Jayhawks' eighth consecutive conference defeat to the No. 14/15 ranked Sooners. The team fell to 0-8 in conference and 27-12 overall. The Jayhawks are on a four-game losing streak after Wednesday's losses to Oklahoma (12-6 and 13-5) and last week's losses to Nebraska (4-0 and 7-1). The Kansas softball offense had its best conference performance against Oklahoma Wednesday evening,but it was not enough to carry the team through their defensive innings. The offense made 13 hits against Oklahoma. This is a strong increase in hitting percentage compared with the previous six Big 12 games where the Jayhawks' averaged 3.8 hits a game. "I am incredibly proud of our offense," Smith said. "They attacked and they continued to attack regardless of the score." The offense pulled the team out of potential run-rule situations in both Oklahoma games. Junior third baseman Marissa Ingle hit a double to start the Jayhawks off in the bottom of the fifth inning of the first SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 9A COMMENTARY Stars of Kansas basketball come back to lead team next season It's not all that bad. What with the loss to What with the loss to Virginia Commonwealth, the twins signing with an agent in Los Angeles, and a circus of rumors circling Josh Selby, April has begun on a good note. Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson will be back at Kansas for another year. Whew. The variables in Robinson's decision couldn't have made for a tougher few weeks for anybody around Kansas basketball than Thomas himself. Everybody knows the emotional responsibilities he had to weigh. The well-being of his younger sister, the well-being of himself, and the economic future of his whole family tipped the scales this way and that, but it never landed on one side or the other. The eventual decision to stay couldn't be a better choice for him personally and for Kansas. Yes, he was projected as a mid-to-late first round projection for the NBA draft and could potentially be making a triple figure income next year, but that's not what he needs right now. He's discussed this year how the Kansas community supported him and made him happy in his time here. Halfway through the season he spoke to reporters with a wide smile about how he talks with his BY NICO ROESLER noreloserkansan.com www.twitter.com/#1/ NicoRoesler sister every day and about how she seems happy. His extended stay in Lawrence will simply strengthen his feeling of comfort while playing for Kansas. Playing in the NBA, on the other hand, while offering economic stability, would give him geographic instability. NBA teams travel to different parts of the country weekly. How was that supposed to help him in dealing with the ever painful losses in his family? His decision, surprising to some, provides a breath of fresh air to the NCAA system that produces one-and-done players on an increasing basis. It shows that playing for a university is more than just a stepping stone to something better. It shows how it can be the best time of an athlete's career. And both Robinson's and Taylor's next seasons look to be nothing but explosive. It is as good as guaranteed that the Allen Fieldhouse crowd will cheer the loudest during the introduction for Thomas Robinson when he makes his first start next season. It is clear, like the glass backboards that will be feeling his wrath, that Robinson will be the highlight machine of next year. Together with Taylor, Kansas has another chance of winning the Big 12. If Robinson averaged 7.6 points in 14.6 minutes, then he will, if mathematics parallel real-life predictions, score more than fifteen points for 30 minutes of play. Taylor would add another 9.3 points-per-game if he follows up his junior season with a comparable senior effort. That is at least 25 points of offense combined between the returning stars that Kansas would miss without them Their decisions to stay have balanced the off-season concerns with confidence. Their decisions have personally benefited both of them in their future endeavors in the NBA and in their current need to improve and enjoy the college experience, one that so many across the country downplay for those lucky enough to be future NBA players.

It may be the result of long hours she's working, the emotional stress of putting in hours of meetings, hitting the campaign trail on top of keeping up with her pre-law and anthropology coursework, going days with little sleep. It's enough to wear any student down. But what it is, she says, is that she's touched by the passion, commitment and diversity of the students she's working with on the Renew KU ticket — "the morale is higher than I've ever seen it," she said, referring to the Renew KU slate, which she's at the top of as candidate for student body president. She believes in Student Senate. She says it's not fulfilling its full potential to help students under the KUNited incumbency, a long run in the president and vice-president spots by the coalition she ran with to get into Senate in a replacement seat last year.

STUDENT SENATE Student coalitions examine on-campus dining options Students dine at The Underground. Both Student Senate coalitions, KUnited and Renew KU, have plans to expand on-campus dining options. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com As part of its effort to increase student involvement in campus decisions, the KUnited coalition is including a campus dining option as part of its platforms. The campus dining platform is student body president candidate Libby Johnson and vice president candidate Gabe Bliss's effort to allow students to choose which restaurants and dining options they'd like to see on campus, a system they call "choose what you eat." "It's really important that students get that input," Bliss, a sophomore from Oathe, said. "This gives them the ability to tweak what they want to see in the dining options on campus, and puts them in partnership with KU Dining." Together, the board would evaluate what campus dining is like, what could be improved and what students would like to see. "Basically, students would be able to pick what they want to eat on campus," Johnson said. "Whether it's Quizno's, Chipotle or a local business, then they would have that option." Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, said that this platform would start the creation of a KU Dining board, which would involve the KU Dining administration, the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls and representatives from the student body. Because KU Dining has administration throughout campus, Johnson and Bliss said that KU Dining board would be able to have input about the dining experience in different areas on campus, including in the dorms, in the Underground and in the KU Memorial Unions. Johnson said the coalition spoke with representatives of KU Dining to see if the platform was a plausible option that could make an effect on student involvement in dining decisions. She said the response from KU Dining was positive. "The key part is that students would be in the decision making process," Johnson said.

This campus dining platform is student body president Casey Briner and vice president candidate Josh Dean's effort to make the Kansas Union a more central campus hub Even though the Kansas Union is farther from most campus buildings than the Underground Dean, a sophomore from Overland Park, said he believed that introducing new restaurants in the building would make a significant change in the number of students who would choose to dine at the Union. "For the platform to really work, we need something that the students overwhelmingly want. Food is a powerful motivator." In an effort to decrease traffic in the Underground, the Renew KU coalition included a movement for stronger dining options in the Kansas Union.

So far, Briner, a junior from Flower Mound, Texas, and Dean said they were in the process of determining which restaurants they would like in the Union.

The two talked to David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial Unions corporation. said that was hard to tell if the volume of sales would increase enough to compensate this overhead. Briner and Dean said they hope that students who had more time would be willing to travel to Union as a result of introducing new restaurants to the Union. They also hope that new restaurants in the Union will decrease the congestion that often occurs in the Underground. 8 18 According to Briner and Dean, the money to finance any change would come from the Memorial Unions corporations board budget, which would arrange contracts with the chosen restaurants. "There's just not a clear and obvious solution." The change would take place in the 2012 school year, Dean said. --- 2A / NEWS / MONDAY, APRIL 11, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "One camel does not make fun of another camel's hump."

Around her lay a tangle of tree branches, twisted siding, broken glass and a canoe that wasn't hers. Utilities also were damaged, and gas fumes filled the town, prompting officials to shut off service. Pratt said gas service will remain off for the next two weeks. The weather service said it had received reports of 14 to 16 injuries, the most severe a broken leg. Siebersma, 53, said he rushed to the basement. Upstairs, he heard bottles breaking.

The tornado destroyed about 100 homes beyond repair, and has displaced an estimated 500 to 600 residents, he said. The tornado was on the ground for three and a half miles and measured three-quarters of a mile wide at one point, according to the National Weather Service office in Valley, Neb. The twister was measured to be on the lower end of an EF3, which carries wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. The smell of natural gas hung thick in the air Sunday as forklifts and pick-up trucks hauled debris down streets lined with fallen trees. The tornado was one of several reported in Iowa. The weather service said it had confirmed a total of four smaller twisters that touched down near Early and Nemaha, damaging several homes. Terry Siebersma, who runs a downtown liquor store with his wife, was manning his shop when he heard the tornado sirens and saw the sky turn green. In the distance, he saw the twister swirl In Mapleton, the roof was "We were very,very lucky," he said. "I almost feel guilty." into view. "That sound, I'l never get it out of my head. It had a life.

Jonathan Shorman KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, APRIL 11, 2011 / NEWS 3A SCIENCE Weather balloon collects geographical data, images BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com A team of 18 students in the geography department launched a weather balloon Saturday from the grassy field behind Nichols Hall, 2335 Irving Hill Road on West Campus. The balloon landed in a cow pasture about two hours later near Fleming, Mo., east of Kansas City, Mo. About 50 people watched the launch and some brought telescopes and binoculars to follow the balloon into the sky. "It was the coolest thing ever to see it take off," Kelsey Miller, a senior from Waterloo, Ill., and a geography student, said. The weather balloon, a helium-powered vehicle for a 23-foot apparatus of remote sensing equipment, was launched as part of a project called Geohawk for the geography department's "Remote Sensing II" course. Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said the students would break into teams for the rest of the semester to use the images and data collected in research projects on remote sensing, mapping and image processing. The balloon itself measured four feet wide and six feet tall and pulled a tail strung with a parachute, a set of radar reflectors and about five pounds of sensors to record temperature and air pressure. A camera dangled from the end, pointed downward, automatically snapping photographs every 10 to 15 seconds. As the balloon took off, it recorded hundreds photos of Lawrence and Douglas County from a range of altitudes. About 20 miles — or halfway to Kansas City — the balloon burst in the air because of decreasing air pressure, releasing a parachute to allow it to slowly descend back to the ground. At these heights, Federal Aviation Administration safety regulations apply to the construction of the vehicle, requiring radar reflectors to mark its presence for other aircraft. Miller said the Fleming cow pasture was very close to the predicted landing site. The Geoahawk team used weather conditions, together with the vehicle's weight and lift speed, to calculate the probable flight path. "It looks like the payload hit pretty hard," Miller said. She said the team still needed to examine the contents of the vehicle to see if they were damaged in the landing. — Edited by Samantha Collins Geography students prepare to launch a weather balloon Saturday in the field behind Nichols Hall, 2335 Irving Hill Road.

Contributed Photo RESEARCH From film to folklore, awards help students explore interests viu10viiX BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Josh Nathan, a senior from McPherson, and Grant Babbit, Nathan's director of photography, film "A Light Opera" at a DeSoto gas station. Nathan was one of 48 undergraduate students to receive research grants this semester. The University Honors Program awarded research grants to 48 undergraduates this semester, supporting projects in a wide variety of areas. Undergraduate research awards, ranging from $750 to $2,000, went to student projects in disciplines like film, anthropology and industrial design. The following research studies are some of the undergraduate projects that received funding. A LIGHT OPERA Joshua Nathan, a senior from McPherson studying film and media, took the title for his short film from a passage in Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse Five." He used the experience he gained as a production assistant on the television series "Leverage" and a $750 grant from the honors program to write, direct and produce "A Light Opera." The film, a meditation on the role of chance and fate in human lives, follows a day in the life of two gas station employees whose lives are changed forever — in the case of one of them, suddenly cut short — by a winning lottery ticket. Nathan said he applied for a research award at the urging of faculty after mentioning his idea of shooting a film for his honors project. "They said, 'What you're doing is exactly what they're giving out money for.' Nathan said. Nathan organized a crew of 120 people and shot the film in two days at a gas station in DeSoto. He is submitting it to several film festivals, including the Kansas City Film Festival, the KU Student Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival. Oldfather Studios will host a special event to screen the film April 18. Nathan said "A Light Opera" posed questions about probability and determinism, but doesn't provide any easy answers. "There are crazy, crazy things; things that we recognize but don't know how to internalize," Nathan said. "I want the audience to think about this in their own lives." ORAL TESTIMONIES OF THE CH'ORTI MAYA Joseph Stogsdill's project took him to the western mountains of Honduras, where Copán, one of the greatest of the ruined Maya cities, sits among fields of coffee and banana trees. Stogdsill, a junior from Lawrence studying history and environmental studies, went to Copán Ruinas, Honduras, with a multi-disciplinary group advised by Brent Metz, professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas. Contributed Photo "It was a pretty big culture shock, going down and seeing the poverty that exists in Central America," Stogsdill said. An undergraduate research award covered the cost of Stogdill's travel, helping him to film a series of interviews with elders of the local Chorti Maya community and write a historical study of this indigenous population. He spoke with the elders about their folkloe and creation stories, and how their land has been changed by technology and property theft by outsiders. MAKING THE DENTIST'S CHAIR MORE COMFORTABLE FOR THE DENTIST Stogsdill and other students worked with local communities to help market traditional crafts to tourists and conduct water quality studies in partnership with CONIMCHH, National Council of Indigenous Chorti Maya of Honduras, a local development organization. Stogsdill said the trip did much to improve his Spanish. The rural people of Honduras have a distinct vocabulary and accent. "It was pretty difficult to understand," Stogsdill said. "It can make you very uncomfortable, but through that discomfort you can really grow as a Spanish speaker and as a person." Although many patients are quite conscious of the discomfort involved in dental care, few consider how uncomfortable it can be for the dentist. The hunching and contortion performed by practitioners, including dental hygienists, as they navigate a patient's mouth, can lead to musculoskeletal disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome and injuries of the neck and upper back. Riley Griffith, a senior from Lyndon studying industrial design, is researching how to change the dentist's chair to alleviate these problems, which Griffith said can be serious and expensive. He spoke with a former dental hygienist who traded in her tools for a receptionist's desk because of chronic pain in her hand muscles. Griffith said his own dentist's chronic pain led to the removal of a disc between his second and third vertebrae. A single case of carpal tunnel syndrome can cost $21,000 and 250 days of lost work, Griffith said. These problems are well known to the American Dental Association, which teaches practitioners to reposition the patients for comfort. "They're trained to ask people to move, but my observation was that people don't want to do that," Griffith said. He said one factor was practitioners' need to maximize the number of patients they see per day. Griffith said he thought a different kind of dental chair could relieve the discomfort by making the patient easier to move around. "As a hygienist, your hands are always full," Griffith said. "If they were floating in space, if you could move them anywhere you wanted, you would." He used $1,700 from an undergraduate research award to develop a design that would emphasize mobility and access for the practitioner. The new style of chair would tilt and swivel on more than one plane, moving on up to six axes. He created a design of the chair as an illustration of the concept, but the work would also have to take into account aesthetics and engineering, Griffith said. "If people look at something, they don't want to be scared of it," he said. "They're already really scared."

Sometimes God closes half a door. I think that's where Dutch Doors come from. Nick Sambaluk INTERNATIONAL 'White wedding' no longer a concern LONDON — In 1981, Princess Diana's uncle made a public statement before her royal wedding to clear up The Question: Yes, she was a virgin. What a difference a generation makes. Today, few people seem the least bit concerned that Prince William and Kate Middleton, set to wed this month, have been living together off and on since their university days. "We live in a modern age and people do all sorts of things before they settle down," said Keith Morley, an engineer from Birmingham. "It's probably best that they lived together before making a commitment." Some historians say it's about time the royals shed the prudishness they exhibited at the time of Diana's marriage, which came years after the pill and the Summer of Love made casual sex more socially acceptable even in traditionally uptight Britain. The modern-day tolerance of William and Middleton's living arrangements, many say, just brings the House of Windsor in line with the times. Part of the change may have to do with the very public infidelities that played out in the disastrous marriage of Charles and Diana, which rocked the royal family to its core.

Anti-gender identity religious group sings same old psalm and dance QUEER CULTURE Lawrence has been attempting to add gender identity as a protected status in the city for a while now, which would prohibit discrimination based on gender identity in employment, housing and public accommodations. Last Wednesday, a group called Voice of Reason — a group "brought together by this particular issue" that consists of churches (surprise, surprise) and businesspersons — held a meeting to voice opposition to the proposed ordinance, which they claim will "destroy our culture," as one of the speakers so rationally put it. But the group's presentation failed to focus on gender identity. Instead, there was nearly two hours of cliché lecturing on the deviance of homosexuality. The meeting started with a prayer lofty! — and proceeded with the coining of homosexuality as a "behavior" and the dangers of too much exposure to certain "lifestyles"; you know, that old chestnut. Judy Smith, the opening speaker and president of Concerned Women for America, gave the audience a literature BY JAMES CASTLE BY JAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com review, including how studies supporting the biological origins of sexual orientation towards sex organs had poor methodologies and couldn't be repeated, how Matthew Shepard was beaten and killed for his money, not his sexuality, and how Alfred Kinsey's research was "flawed," among other things. All of these claims were of course supported with expert sources — just kidding. What did all of this have to do with gender identity? Not a damn thing. topic at hand, which lasted roughly five seconds. Wilson then went on for several more minutes about how he "prays daily for homosexuals" and warns of the dangers of "exposure to [such] evil," all with an adorable Leave-it-to-Beaver persona. After Smith's Review of Bigotry lecture, the next speaker, Bennie Wilson, native of Manhattan (Manhattan recently passed the gender identity protection ordinance) talked about the The next two speakers, a prayer leader and a lawyer, continued the comprehensive banter about the LGBT "lifestyle," "gays and alcoholism," "predators," etc., always being sure to concide with something like, "... but we love everyone." I'll be honest, folks, I got the church giggles a few times (no pun intended); I had no idea I was walking into a sermon (the church location didn't help much) about queer-mo-sexuals. The final speaker, a lawyer, was the only person to mention the issues that could stem from passing a law protecting gender identity in Lawrence. He speculated on something about gender-neutral bathrooms, which wasn't brought up until the closing minutes of his talk, after his two cents on same-sex marriage and other irrelevant policies, of course. Really? Bathrooms? So this is about the level of privacy someone feels while they're taking a crap or urinating in a public restroom? Not about the impact on a person fired from a job or denied housing because that person is transgender? Those few moments aside, the meeting was simply another opportunity for orthodox Christians to voice their non-support for LGBTs — nothing new or productive and certainly nothing constructive about the gender identity ordinance. I can't understand why anyone would give a fudge if a transgender person wants to get a job or place to live in the city without fear of being fired or denied living space for being transgender. I am literally more concerned about whether I'm going to have chicken nuggets or hot pockets for dinner. James Castle is a junior from Stilwell in political science & human sexuality.

We all have those friends on Twitter who don't have a filter and send out anything that pops in their mind. A tweet from one of them might read "brr, it's cold out," or "I almost couldn't find my keys." Well, most of us do. The worst are the people who send out a detailed itinerary every day. Their tweets usually look something like "going to class/gym/studying/then pasta for dinner!" But I use Twitter (shameless plug: @louschu) and so do many of my friends. I think, for the most part, we all make pretty good use of it. We tweet jokes, interesting news items and links to one another, stuff that we think other people would find interesting.

In modern human life there are some things that you can't avoid: food poisoning, yellow lights, essay exams, red lights, hangovers, hangnails, the trace of pubic hair a roommate leaves on the toilet seat... You name it. They're inconveniences, for sure. But what other common undertaking causes uproar in the human psyche? Small talk. Small talk, or shooting the bull, or light conversation, is an ever-present constant in our lives. It's at the store when you're waiting in line with the slow attendant; it's at your friend's house when you are stuck alone in the room with someone you've only just met; it's at Quinton's on a Saturday when no one is quite drunk enough yet to interest interesting. Through the years, I've experimented with different topics of conversation to get a feel for what people like. Weather and classwork are the standard lineup that anyone can use to fill-in for up to two awkward minutes. But it gets old. The routine stales and there are only so many things that I can contribute to the pot of Biology 100 complaints. What other topic do all humans like to hear and talk about? What is something that is lighthearted, can be manipulated to fit the listener, is a universal truth to all wide-eyed, heart pumping mouth breathers? It's a subject hurling with emotion. As such, the subject of vomit can be toyed with to suit the audience based on their individual dispositions. To my boyfriend's gentle and kind mother, I can talk about the How 'bout barf? embarrassment of pulling over on the interstate, hunched on the side to puke bad Mexican food onto a patch of dry grass. The cashier at a convenience store with his unending sunny optimism likes to hear about the joy of looking at my friend passed out on a couch, pausing and then looking back to see that she is blanketed in her own dinner. My father, the banker, will listen to the economic aspects of puke and pitch in his ideas when I finish my story—"A ten dollar lunch at Zen Zero ends up on the floor of a Chevy Cavalier instead nourishing the brain and its surrounding organs? Now that's a waste of money and digestion." The loveliness of it all is that it is a self-sustaining topic. I tell you a story about puke, you tell me a story about puke and I can use that as material for the next person I come across. Someone else's third-hand detail of throwing up into the wind at a concert is as emotionally charged as if I had done it myself. I would guess that 80 percent of what I talk about is someone else barfing, 5 percent my own barfing and 15 percent weather and I'm trying to taper off the weather talk eventually to come to a 100 percent barf-talk ratio. This tactic will work for you and provide for you a bit of enjoyment separate from the humdrum standard conversation. Stephens is a junior from Dodge City in English.

And even though Hong is trained as a classical pianist, his music taste is anything but old-fashioned. "The thing is that even though I've been playing music my entire life, I didn't start playing classical music until I went to Juilliard when I was 22," Hong said. "I grew up listening to Nirvana and more ethereal kinds of things." The pieces Hong played at the Lied Center incorporated a range of styles and composers from around the world, including Russian, Polish, American, Spanish and Hungarian. "It's not like a foreign language where something gets lost in translation," Hong said. "It can be understood by everybody and the thing that brings a common ground to music is evoking emotion. Maybe a certain sound brings up a childhood memory or a more sad time in your life. Music is powerful and it's universal." about his trip to Europe. Hong told about how, on his way to Brussels, he had an interesting layover in an airport in Paris. "I didn't bring anything to occupy my time; not a book, a magazine or a Game Boy," Hong said "Music is powerful and it's universal." ALPIN HONG . Pianist The universality of Hong's music has allowed him to travel and play across the country. He recently completed a tour that took him through all 50 states and ended in Alaska. And he has also traveled overseas; one of the stories Hong told during his performance was onstage. He said he passed by very few people in the terminal at 6:30 a.m. before he spotted a piano, right outside of McDonald's. He thought it would be a good time to get some practice in, and before he knew it, there were at least 100 people gathered around him. "I heard all types of beautiful languages being spoken, but I'll never forget this American couple I heard," Hong said. "I heard a man say to his girlfriend, 'Honey, these French airports are awesome.' It just made me laugh." Hong's personality and the presence he brought to the stage encouraged the audience to give him a standing ovation. Their enthusiasm then prompted him to add a song to his program, and he finished the night with Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." With stops around the world. Hong says he tries to connect to each group as if they are his family. "By the end, I show them I'm an ordinary dude but I have an extraordinary job." Hong said. "People inspired me to keep doing it and find value in it myself. I feel it is an artist's job to identify with their audience." - Edited by Amanda Sorell STAND OUT.

"It keeps me really up to date on things going on at the University," Bliss said. "And I just want to be a part of something that is bigger than me. Either way I'm going to be involved." The pair hopes to continue the 15-year tradition KUnited has established within Student Senate. It is a tradition they both said consists of accomplishment and getting things done — things like fall break, Saferide and Safebus, wireless Internet and the Ambler Student Recreation Center among others. Growing up in Lawrence as the daughter of University professor of chemistry, Carey Johnson, allowed Libby to witness the University's evolution and forge a bond that would never be broken, she said. "I've never known anything else but KU," Johnson said. After four years of Student Senate involvement and leadership positions in more than 10 organizations and committees, Senate elections are the next plateau. "I think a lot of people think this is crazy to put this much time and work into something," said Johnson. "But it's been a goal of mine for many years now. Being involved for the past three years will definitely help me out because I've learned about how the University works and I've made relationships with students and administrators." "But I met it with open arms and am now extremely excited for it." Bliss said. "I like working with people and I'm a helper." Although Bliss always wanted to be on the executive staff, he said the nomination for vice president originally came as a shock. Bliss said he loved the University and the foundations established. But, he said, there are many areas he would like to improve on. "Senate has this negative overall perception," Bliss said. "And there's been a trend in the past of low voter turnout." Low turnout is something he and Johnson want to change. He said he wanted the students to be heard and, as a member of a small professional school, he thought he could bring a voice to the LAWRENCE City takes on lighting project The city expects the project to lead to a 40 to 50 percent reduction in energy usage BY AMANDA KISTNER akistner@kansan.com Walking down Massachusetts Street will soon be seen in a different light. The City of Lawrence will begin replacing 115 lights with LEDs on eighth, ninth and 10th streets. More than $172,000 is available for the lighting replacement project. The lights have been ordered, and installation will begin in early June, after they are delivered in the next six to eight weeks. Assistant director of public works Mark Thiel said the city made the decision to replace the lights as part of its overall goal to improve the quality of life for the community. Each new light costs about $1,500. The money saved by lower energy consumption will potentially offset the high costs. "Though we won't have the official numbers until later, we are expecting a 40 to 50 percent reduction in energy usage as a result of this project," Thiel said. "We will be installing 'monitoring meters' to track actual usage against known cost-to-date." A product comparison was done in 2010 to find the best lights to use in the replacement. In the comparison, a variety of fixtures were evaluated and actual trial installations were used to determine the specific LED light that will be used.

They're polished. They've got command and old-fashioned guts. For Kansas, that's T.J. Walz. "He showed the maturity of what a Friday night starter in this conference has to have to be successful," coach Ritch Price said. Walz, a senior from Omaha, Neb., trumped the Cornhuskers, his hometown team, for the third time in his collegiate career on Friday night. But it all started in game one, when the Friday night ace set the tone for the rest of the starting rotation. Walz went six innings, surrendered four runs, only one earned, and struck out six. With the help of his timely performance, the Jayhawks won 5-4. Walz's work kicked off the weekend series with a positive note, which ended with an 11-5 Kansas victory in Sunday's rubber match. On Saturday, sophomore Tanner Poppe followed Walz's lead, threw six innings and allowed only two earned runs. But the Jayhawks couldn't get their bats going and lost 4-2. Sunday's 11-5 victory was a bit of an anomaly, as freshman Alex Cox struggled on the hill, but got enough run support. Hits are contagious and so is good pitching. Early in the season, Walz got rocked. He allowed eight runs, seven earned, in just four innings at then No. 1 Texas Christian University on February 18. His control of pitches was erratic and the results were shaky. But as the season progressed, Walz slightly altered his mechanics to improve the balance in his windup. After a 6-2 victory against Baylor on April 1, an earlier Friday night showcase, Walz said that the minor change has made all the difference. "I've been able to locate the fastball a lot better, and I'm not getting behind batters near as much so I can attack with the slider," Walz said. When he's hitting his spots with the fastball, his changeup becomes that much more deceptive. In his recent three starts, Walz was 2-0 with a 1.69 earned run average and 27 strikeouts. "That's as good a changeup as he's had all season", Price said after the Baylor victory. Pair an effective changeup with an already sneaky windup, and you've got opposing hitters that can do no better than guess at the plate. With Walz's leadership and cool demeanor on the mound, Kansas has won three of its first four conference series. In a sport as unpredictable as baseball, Kansas has a consistent ace in the rotation. And his best stuff is most always on Friday night. — Edited by Emily Soetaert KARL Junior outfielder Jason Brunansky connects for a base hit Friday against Nebraska.

A pair of former wide receivers in high school, I Keeston Terry and Bradley McDougald are now the startin safeties for Kansas as spring practices get underway. Terry,asophomore from Blue Springs, Mo.,originally committed to the University of Nebraska as a receiver before switching his commitment to Turner Gill and Kansas in PETER B. McDougald making 10 tackles and forcing a fumble in the first three games last season, Terry suffered a season-ending lower leg injury against Southern Mississippi. The big production in a small sample size was encouraging, though. Terry "I was pleased with myself" Terry said after Friday's practice. "When I had the opportunities to make plays, I feel like I did." With a year spent studying the position and bulking up in the weight room, Terry could be in store for a breakout year in 2011. "The sky is the limit," McDougald said of Terry's potential on defense. "He's still young, and that's the greatest part about it, he's like a spoonie." McDougald, a junior from Dublin, Ohio, was a highly-coveted safety in high school, garnering attention from Wisconsin and Ohio State, among others. He committed to Kansas as a receiver, but is back on defense in his third year in Lawrence. He said that while he's the elder statesmen in the secondary, there's times when Terry corrects him during practice. Both players seem to complement each other on the field, and while McDougald gets an adrenaline rush from intercept passes, Terry disagrees. "I feel like there's more of an adrenaline rush after a big hit," he said. "It gets everybody hwred." McDougald, with a grin on his face, was quick to intervene. "I don't know about that one," he said, shaking his head and smiling. "I just don't know." When the safety tandem isn't pushing each other to get better, coach Gill's new grading scale does the job. Each day, the coaching staff shows the players their grades from the previous day's workout or practice. Whether it's interceptions or big hits, the players can see how they performed the day before. "If we feel we had a good day and our numbers don't show, we use that to go back out and have a better day," McDougall said.

There was a chance — comically infinitesimal, yes, but a chance nonetheless — that the 20 or so golfers in front of him would melt down, a 2-under would hold up, and Gary Woodland would win the green jacket. DANIEL BANKER Of course, this didn't happen. Two pairings later, Trevor Immelman finished at 3-under for the tournament, and later in the afternoon WINNER fended off one of the most crowded leaderboards in recent memory. But if you look back at Gary Woodland's last four years, finishing 24th at the Masters — the latest great finish to a torrid start in 2011 — is a remarkable feat. In his senior season at Kansas, Woodland finished tied for 14th in the Big 12 Championship. Two of the 13 guys that finished in front of him are on the PGA Tour. None were in the Masters this week. Woodland made one cut on the BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW In 2009, Woodland broke through. He earned his PGA Tour card, made eight cuts in 18 tournaments and earned more than six figures for the first time. In 2010, Woodland made three PGA Tour cuts in eight tournaments, and nine in 14 Nationwide events, but he actually made a little more money than 2009, around $140,000 for the year. He finished the year as the 588th-ranked golfer in the world. Nationwide Tour, essentially the minor leagues of the PGA, in 2007. In 2008, he made just one more. But Woodland's incredible start to Four months into the 2011 season, Woodland is the 47th-ranked golfer in the world. On that pace, he'll be the number one golfer in the world by roughly this Tuesday. 2011 looks like more than a flash in the pan. He's been consistently excellent for more than four months, making six cuts in nine tournaments, and finishing outside the top 13 just once. He's finished four times in the top 10, including a win the Transitions Championship that netted him a nice little $990,000 payday and punched his ticket to the Masters. Woodland, who entered the weekend fourth on the PGA Tour money list (one spot behind Phil Mickelson), will break past two million with the $70.400 check he got for his four days of work this week.

WWW.KANSAN.COM THIS ONE'S FOR THE BOOKS PAGE 12A Picking up third series in a row ANSA Senior shortstop Brandon Macias fields a ground ball Friday at Hoglund Ballapark. Macias went 3-for-3 at the plate in the Jayhawk victory. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY ALEC TILSON actilson@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team did something this weekend no team in school history has done before. With Sunday's 11-5 victory against Nebraska, the team has now won three straight Big 12 series at Hoglund Ballpark. Fitting that it came in the final home series ever against Nebraska (21-13, 3-6) as a Big 12 Conference team. "The second biggest rival we have is Nebraska," coach Ritch Price said. "My players will tell you the two biggest rivals on our schedule, Missouri and Nebraska." For Friday night starting senior T.J. Walz, Nebraska might be the biggest rival. An Omaha, Neb. native, Walz (4-3) defeated Nebraska for the third time in his four-year career. He threw six innings, struck out six and allowed one earned run. It was not one of the strongest outings for the team's best pitcher, but he found a way to pick up his fourth victory of the season in a "grind-it-out, tough, hard-fought win" according to Price. "I didn't have my best stuff today, but sometimes you don't have it and you just have to go pitch," Walz said. In five starts since March 11, Walz has allowed nine earned runs over 35 innings, striking out 43 batters and walking just nine. The all-time strikeout leader in school history won for the second straight Friday. The top third of the order provided much of the offense in the series' first game. Junior outfielder Jason Brunansky recorded three hits, two runs and an RBI. Senior shortstop Brandon Macias was a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs and senior Jimmy Waters added two hits and two RBI. Freshman Frank Duncan and junior closer Colton Murray have emerged as the go-to arms in games with late-inning leads. On Friday, Duncan pitched one and two thirds innings before getting into a bases-loaded jam and handling the ball to Murray. With Kansas holding onto a 5-4 lead, Murray entered the game and recorded four outs and his sixth save on the year. "I've learned to love high-pressure situations and bases loaded is definitely one of my favorites," Murray said. "Adrenaline itself, I live off of it. I love it." Duncan, a native of San Francisco, Calif., may not have expected to be in the set-up role, but its working. It to his vang." "We got punched in the mouth and we went back out there and punched them back." makes for an interesting dynamic —Duncan with more of a laid back attitude, Murray intense and fiery. "Colton has been helping me with the late game routine," Duncan said. "I'm kind of the yin Kansas worked around two errors on Friday but wasn't as fortunate in Saturday's 4-2 loss. RITCH PRICE Coach President second baseman Ka'iana Eldredge committed an error in the fifth inning to put a runner on first. Nebraska capitalized with two runs, which ended up being the difference. Assistant coach Jay Uhlman was thrown out in the third inning after a comment from the dugout and coach Price pulled Macias late in the game for arguing a called strike with the home plate umpire. Junior first baseman Zac Elgie exchanged words with Nebraska catcher Cory Burleson after striking out to end the game, only adding to the weight of Sunday's game. With Price stepping in as third base coach, Kansas scored a season-high 11 runs and defeated Nebraska in a game that saw four home runs between the two teams. That's a lot with this year's bats. Waters' three-run, opposite-field home run in the third inning gave the Jayhawks an early 4-1 lead. For him, the series has a personal weightiness to it. "Being from their backyard and going through the recruiting process and being over looked and being told I couldn't play in this conference, it feels great," Waters said. After the Corn Huskers put up a four-spot of their own to take the lead in the fifth, Kansas answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning, in what Price called "clearly the best offensive performance of the season." "We got punched in the mouth and we went back out there and punched them back," Price said. "That's something that really good teams do, they find a way to rally." Duncan and Murray closed out the games final four innings and Kansas moved to 6-6 in the Big 12 and 15-17 on the year. Edited by Emily Soetaert SOFTBALL Despite improved defensive play, Jayhawks fall BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Going into the bottom of the seventh inning in Sunday's contest against No. 21 Oklahoma State, the Kansas softball team looked like it was about to earn its first conference victory of the season. However, a pair of runs put the Cowgirls up 4-3 and ended the weekend series. Saturday the Jayhawks fell 3-2 after a late seventh-innings rally. The team's defensive play showed great improvement on the weekend. Saturday, aggressive pitching by freshman Kristin Martinez set the tone of the game. The defense held Oklahoma State scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning. Senior catcher Brittany Hile demonstrated her defensive leadership by making throwdowns for outs at second throughout the game. "I think we talked to the girls about how, of course, this loss hurts," coach Megan Smith said. "We did a good job today. We put ourselves in a position to win and I think we can take that away as a positive." The offense started production late Saturday afternoon. The Jayhawk batters did not connect until sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull hit her 13th double of the season in the sixth innning. She is now tied for eighth for the most doubles in a single season. However, Hull said the stats are not going to be important until the end of the season, when she can actually enjoy them. Her hit was the spark for the rest of the offense. In the seventh inning, junior pinch hitter Kelsey Alsdorf hit a double to drive in Hile, who had been hit by a wild pitch. It was the first run of the Jayhawks' late comeback. Ending the seventh inning, senior pitcher Allie Clark saw her first at-bat of the season. After two pitches, Oklahoma State pitcher Simone Freeman threw a wild pitch past catcher Ashley Boyd, giving Jayhawk freshman first baseman Laura Vickers enough time to steal home. Clark hit a pop-up in foul ball territory. Boyd caught the ball to end the game. Sunday's game saw the same offensive intensity as Saturday. The team managed eight hits and three runs. Alsdorf had a strong weekend. Her single up the middle of the infield provided Hile and Hull the opportunity to score, tying the score 2-2 in the fifth inning. Hull scored again off junior outfielder Liz Kocon's double in the sixth inning, giving the team its first lead since it played Missouri in its first conference appearance of the The Jayhawks, meanwhile, benefited from improved pitching on the weekend. Martinez and Clark stuck to the pitching staff's philosophy of pitching to the knees. They also worked the outside of the plate to entice batters to chase pitches. They struck out only four batters on the weekend, but they worked to create groundball situations for the defense to convert to outs at first base. season. Oklahoma State responded in the bottom of the seventh inning with two unearned runs and ended the game with a 4-2 victory. The team benefited from a single and a sacrifice bunt. The final run was scored off of a pop fly with only two outs. "I just go in there and try to help my team as best I can," Alsdorf said, "They get on base and I come in just try and bring them in and produce anyway that I can." "Our pitchers really stepped it up this weekend after a rough couple of games and that was really key for us," Hull said.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Bill Self lands promising recruit BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com In the wake of the Morris twins declaring for the NBA draft, the Kansas bench was looking a little shallow in the frontcourt. Bill Self took his first step to fixing that problem Sunday morning with the commitment of three-star power forward Braeden Anderson, who averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds for Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass., in his senior season. Anderson said his development as a basketball player was far from over, though. Right now, he said, he was a face up four who liked to use his athleticism to beat his man. But the Canadian Anderson said he had only been playing in the United States for a year and a half, and only started focusing on basketball as a potential future in his freshman year. "I'm just figuring out this game," he said, "and when I get it, I want to be on the biggest stage possible." Anderson, 6-foot-8, will compete for immediate playing time alongside Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey, who as the only returning Kansas big men are the heavy favorites for the starting jobs. Anderson said the opportunity for immediate playing time opened up by the Morris twins' departure for the NBA influenced his decision. "You have to look at the big picture," Anderson said. "You can't just go on gut feeling. How often does a freshman have a chance to make an impact like Kansas needs? Now I need to prove why I deserve to be playing." One man he'll need to impress in that regard is assistant coach Danny Manning, who in the past four years has had an impressive affect on the Kansas frontcourt. Anderson said Manning's reputation among the players was impressive and a huge draw for him. "Danny Manning obviously has a huge impact," he said. "He's a coach, but he's also a teacher. And, of course, the players all just sing the man's praises." "When coach Dooley was in my living room," Anderson said, "showing me all the videos, it just reminded me of all the feelings from when I was there. I just knew that this is the place I need to go." Anderson said that Kansas "felt right, felt like home" when he visited campus on March 6, but that he wanted to take some time making his decision. When Kansas assistant coach Joe Dooley visited Anderson in his home in Calgary, Canada Saturday, Anderson offered his verbal commitment. Edited by Helen Mubarak THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM STUDENT SENATE VOLUME 123 ISSUE 129 CANDIDATES MAKE THE CASE MARY BURKER I'll be there. Ashleigh Lee/KAN. Gabe Bliss, vice presidential nominee and Libby Johnson, presidential nominee for KUnited state their platforms Monday night at a debate held in the Kansas Union. Bliss and Johnson went against their opponents to talk about how they want to make experiences unique for every student. Casey Briner, presidential nominee and Josh Dean, nominee for vice president for Renew KU talk about issues and how to resolve them between their opponents from KUnited Monday night at the Kansas Union. More than 50 people attended the event put on by the University Da Kansan. Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com Candidates sparred over sustainability and attendance records in the Student Senate debate on Monday evening, in a discussion that hit on topics from wireless printing in the libraries to beer in the Kansas Union. Presidential and vice presidential candidates for KUnited and Renew KU clashed over the prospect for sustainable restrooms, one of KUnited's platforms. According to its website, KUnited's plan would install energy-saving hand dryers that the coalition says would cut energy use by 80 percent compared to regular dryers, and would reduce paper towel use to 1/20 of current levels. At the debate, Renew KU vice presidential candidate Josh Dean said that studies show that hand dryers don't cut down on germs. KUnited disagreed, citing different studies. The dispute came in the context of an argument over which coalition and candidates did the most work and had the more reliable research. "It's blatantly not true that we haven't done our research," Dean said. On specific platform issues, Dean charged that KUnited presidential candidate Libby Johnson had a poor attendance record at University Senate meetings last year. Johnson responded that it was true that she only attended one University Senate meeting last semester but that her absences were because she had class at the same time of the meetings. Renew KU responded to a question about beer in the Union, saying that the coalition wanted to bring beer back as a way to help change the image of alcohol at the University. Renew KU presidential candidate Casey Briner said that alcohol in the Union would come with a limit of two drinks per person, and wristbands and stamps would be used to make sure underage students are not served.

KUinited presidential candidate Libby Johnson and vice president candidate Gabe Bliss want to create an acceptable use policy for technology that would allow the use of laptops and other electronic devices in every classroom. Bliss said the policy would help students who use computers to take notes. The policy would also make sure students could use electronic textbooks in the classroom. "It would really offer an alternative to textbooks, and textbooks, we know, are a really big money drainer for students," Johnson said. Johnson said several faculty members have expressed their support for the idea. However, Renew KU presidential candidate Casey Briner and vice presidential candidate Josh Dean said that while Renew KU agreed with the plan in principle, faculty would not approve of the "The way (KUnited) are approaching this policy is completely counterproductive," Dean said. "We're going to come to the plan that's best for every one on campus." Johnson said. Johnson and Bliss acknowledged that some classes would not be well-suited to computer use but said that they would work with faculty and administration to develop a workable policy. KUnited also wants to expand access to wireless internet on campus and in student housing. Briner and Dean said that faculty would be hesitant to give away autonomy over their classrooms and that promoting a possible policy in a public way was not helpful. Shannon Higgins, a junior from Bonner Springs, uses her laptop in Strong Hall. The coaltions website says that the expansion will create a wireless network that "spans into Strong Hall, onto Wescoe Beach, next to Potter's Lake, and in all parts of Student Housing." Johnson said expansion of the wireless network would not require a fee increase. "There's a big pot of money that's kind of on reserve that's accumulated that can be used for wireless projects," Johnson said. Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN Johnson and Bliss said they hoped to work with ResNet and student housing to provide students with multiple wireless packages. Briner and Dean said collaboration with ResNet would be difficult. "Student Senate doesn't have any direct influence over ResNet," Dean said. Renew KU plans to make printing wireless throughout libraries Edited by Danielle Packer BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com Printing documents from Watson and Anschuti libraries will become more convenient if Renew KU has its way. Presidential candidate Casey Briner and vice presidential candidate Josh Dean want to introduce wireless printing on campus. Renew KU's website says printing documents at Watson and Anschutz can take up to 10 to 15 minutes. "The facilities are in place, we just need to put funding toward them and we do have money to do so," Briner said. Briner and Dean said they wanted to give Information Technology and the libraries leverage over details of the plan, such as whether students would be able to print to the libraries from anywhere on campus or would have to be in the library. KUnited presidential candidate Libby Johnson disagrees. Johnson said implementing wireless printing would not be straightforward and that the infrastructure for wireless printing was not in place. "It would take a lot more money; it might take an increase in student fees. There are security issues that I don't think have been considered," Johnson said. Renew KU also wants to make grade distributions for classes available to students online. Briner and Dean said that grade distributions are public record and that making the information available be helpful to students who sometimes pay money to access the distributions on third-party sites such as www.ratemyprofessor.com. "We should be able to access our own information without paying for it," Dean said. Johnson said the ethics of making grade distributions available online hadn't been considered. In small classes, posting a grade distribution could potentially reveal students' grades. Renew KU's final technology platform plank email forwarding, drew praise from all sides. Under Renew KU's plan, messages sent to graduated students' University email would be forwarded to another address. "Think about all the resumes you've submitted while you've been in college that have your email address on them," Dean said. Though Johnson said there are ways currently that students can have their email forwarded or create an alumni account, she supported the plan. "I think that's a great idea," Johnson said, "and we would be in support of doing that, too."

TICKET SCANDAL Blubaugh to serve nearly four years A federal judge sentenced former consultant to Kansas Athletics Tom Blubaugh to 46 months in prison and more than $1 million in restitution for his role in the conspiracy to steal and sell tickets. Federal court representative Jim Cross confirmed that the Wichita judge ordered Blubaugh to pay $841,111 to the University and $268,292 to the IRS. Blubaugh admitted in his guilty plea that he and six other co- defendants were responsible for diverting $2 million in ticket sales According to prosecutors, Blubaugh's involvement was in concealing the theft "by using third parties not connected to the ticket office to sell tickets to individuals;" Cross wrote in a media release. Blubaugh also paid travel expenses for the intermediaries and a ticket broker, based in Oklahoma, as well as worked to hide the income from the IRS. Blubaugh's wife,Charlette Blubaugh,is a former associate athletics director in charge of the ticket office.She is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday. For their part in the illegal sales, former systems analyst Kassie Liebsch has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison and former Williams Fund manager Rodney Jones to 46 months. Another former athletics employee, Ben Kirtland, is set for sentencing May 12. Two more former employees, Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries, have each been sentenced to probation and several thousand dollars in restitution for failing to report the felonies of the other codefendants.

Starting this weekend, the University will celebrate the 150th birthday of Elizabeth Watkins, one of its most generous donors. According to Rosita ElizaldeMcCoy, KU Endowment senior vice president for communications and marketing, Watkins' donations have funded Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Watkins Memorial Health Center, Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls, and have also funded 23,000 acres of land. Watkins also donated her home to the University, which is now where the University's chancellor resides. Between these contributions and others, Watkins has donated more than $30 million to the University. However, Watkins didn't grow up in a wealthy family. She wasn't able to attend college, which inspired her to help other young adults achieve what she couldn't. She was especially concerned with higher education for women. "She inherited the wealth from her husband, and after he passed away she wanted to make sure young women had the opportunity to get a college education," Elizalde-McCoy said. "So that was a big passion of hers—education for young people, but especially women." Elizalde-McCoy says she hopes that by the University honoring Watkins' birthday and her lasting impression, students will become more aware of the power of one person, and that her donations still affect them today. Elizabeth Watkins, one of the University of Kansas' most generous donors. Watkins has donated money to Watkins Memorial Health Center, Miller and Watkins Scholarship halls,and Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Photo courtesy SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Residents of Watkins Scholarship Hall also have activities planned for this weekend, including an annual alumni tea. But, the women say they don't just honor Watkins' legacy during this time of year. "To live here, you have a strong sense of history and a strong sense of why we're here," Emily Katz, a sophomore from Overland Park, said. Different events celebrating Photo courtesy SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Watkins' birthday will start Saturday and continue through next week.

Two airplanes clip each other at JFK BY ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A wing of an Airbus A380, the world's biggest commercial passenger jet, clipped the tail of another plane while taxiing out to depart John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday night. There were no injuries when the Air France super jumbo jet touched the other plane at 8:09 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said. Air France Flight 7, bound for Paris, was taxing on a runway when its left wingtip struck the tail of Comair Flight 6293, which had just landed from Boston and was taxing to its gate at Kennedy, one of the nation's busiest airports. Peters said Both jets were being towed to a ramp area for inspection, Peters said. The extent of the damage was unknown. The FAA didn't immediately say how many people were on the double-deck Airbus A380, which can carry 525 passengers in a three-class configuration or more than 850 in a single-class configuration. Air France didn't immediately return a telephone message. The Comair CRJ 700 Regionat Jet was carrying 62 passengers and four crew members, said Betsy Talton, a spokeswoman of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc., for which Comair operates regional flights. All the passengers were taken off the plane and into a terminal, she said. ers occurred last year, when a Rolls-Royce engine on a Qantas A380 disintegrated shortly after takeoff from Singapore, prompting Qantas to temporarily ground its fleet.

Friday, April 22nd The Civil Wars So perhaps the news Monday released via concert promoter Live Nation that trumpets the "360 Tour" as the highest-grossing rock 'n' roll endeavor ever should come with an asterisk. After all, no doubt it's one of the most expensive traveling rock shows ever, if not the most. Yet with 26 dates to go, the "360 Tour" has grossed more than $554 million since it launched in 2009. That beats a previous record Saturday, April 23rd The Black Angels McClatchy Tribune Wednesday, May 4th Joe Pug w/ Strand of Oaks In the statement, U2 manager Paul McGuinness was quoted as saying, "That dollar figure for the gross looks enormous.

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," for instance, is the Broadway show the critics love to hate, and the "360 Tour" came at something of an odd time for U2. The trek was staged in support of the band's 2009 album, "No Line on the Horizon," which, while successful, didn't spawn a hit on on par with a "Beautiful Day" or an "Evolution."

'Rio' is already a big hit across the ocean The family film about birds who embark on a Brazilian adventure opened in 72 foreign markets this weekend and collected a strong $55 million, according to an estimate from distributor 20th Century Fox. The movie opened in the No.1 slot in 32 foreign markets, including Mexico, Germany, and China. And the film did the majority of its business in 3-D theaters, which comprised 71 percent of overall ticket sales. "Rio" was originally slated to premiere in the U.S. this weekend. When the domestic release date was changed many of the international dates were left intact because a number of schools are out on holiday abroad. Not surprisingly, the movie had one of its best debuts in Brazil, where it grossed $8.3 million — the biggest-ever opening for an animated film in the country. Fox unveiled a strong promotional push in Rio de Janeiro, sending a number of press outlets to its March 22 premiere there. In Russia, "Rio" was previewed in theaters early, so it had a slightly higher gross of $10.4 million. That was the best opening of any film to date this year in that country. The film opens in 19 additional foreign markets next weekend.

The Kansan editorial board has decided to endorse Renew KU in its bid to lead the student body for the 2011- 2012 academic year. Kansan editorial board endorses Renew KU EDITORIAL Both KUnited and Renew KU have proposed solid platforms with a sincere interest in improving student life. However, the board has determined that Renew KU's platforms, overall vision and leadership will better connect students, both undergraduate and graduate, with their legislative body. transparency, student outreach and communication. With each coalition proposing nearly 20 platforms, the feasibility of these initiatives is important. The board agrees that Renew KU has best measured the feasibility of its platforms and analyzed necessary methods to achieve its goals. Renew KU has also provided specific plans to repair some of the most damaged areas of Student Senate, such as One of the most important roles of Student Senate is allocating funds to student groups. Senate oversees the allocation of about $24 million in funds every year. This responsibility requires financial knowledge and commitment. Renew KU presidential candidate Casey Briner, a junior from Flower Mound, Texas, has extensive experience with fund allocation as the secretary of the finance committee. Likewise, Josh Dean, a sophomore from Overland Park and Renew KU vicepresidential candidate, serves on the finance committee as the vice-chair. These positions have enabled Briner and Dean to learn the mechanisms of fund allocation and what needs to be done to ensure student groups receive necessary funding. Renew KU's platforms speak to the diversity of the student body with a wide range of interests and needs. Furthermore, Renew KU has shown a commitment to improving student outreach and transparency. For these reasons the Kansan editorial board supports the student body presidency of Casey Briner and vice presidency of Josh Dean. seek to increase transparency by providing an interactive pie chart online to show students where their money is going. If this information is easy to access and decipher, students are more likely to engage with their student representatives about the issues that affect them. Furthermore, Briner and Dean are proposing to simplify the funding process for student groups in the future. Renew KU's funding code simplification platform will allow student groups to evaluate funding eligibility online. Simplifying code language will allow more student groups to receive the funding they deserve. Renew KU has pointed out the failure of Student Senate to keep its website current with up-to-date meeting minutes and legislation archives. Briner and Dean have expressed a commitment to the enforcement of policies that will ensure these documents are available online for students, as well as a commitment to keeping the website professional. Furthermore, Briner and Dean also EDITORIAL Student body deserves opportunity to ask Kobach questions directly Tonight, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will give a speech at the Lied Center addressing the various issues surrounding the topic of illegal immigration reform. While Kobach's policies have received support from some parts of the country, his actions have angered many who do not share his strict stance on immigration policy. There are several students at the University of Kansas who have expressed their disdain for Kobach and his policies, and those students have made clear their intention of protesting Kobach's lecture. Yet while many of his strict anti-immigration policies have stirred debate and controversy across the country, it will be important for those who attend the lecture to be courteous and respectful to Mr. Kobach throughout his speech. University students should be mindful of Kobach's right to express his views, regardless of however they may feel about his policies. This lecture is an opportunity for students to demonstrate the class and character of the University of Kansas, and they can do so by treating a guest speaker with respect even if they disagree with his political stance. However, despite the fact that students are perfectly capable of showing respect and courtesy to guest speakers, it appears that Kobach himself seems fearful of direct discussion. Questions are allowed from the audience, but only if they are submitted before the lecture; Kobach has made it clear that he will not be accepting questions directly from audience members. This sends the message that Kobach is not interested in creating a dialogue with his audience, and that he would rather just transplant his ideas onto his audience with little to no argument. Regardless of whether that is indeed his intent, Kobach has made it clear that he does not wish for his arguments to be openly challenged. While students and other audience members have an obligation to show respect to Kobach, Kobach has just as much of an obligation to show respect to his audience. By not allowing audience members to engage in direct dialogue with him, Kobach is showing disrespect to university students as well as the Lawrence community as a whole. If Kobach expects his audience to listen to his views with respect, he should demonstrate the same type of respect to them as well. Otherwise, he sends the message that he is afraid of political discourse and would rather broadcast his views without opposition as a means of protecting himself from public outcry. Everyone has a right to free speech, and those who disagree with Kobach have the right to express their disapproval of his presence in Lawrence. However, university students should still make efforts to show respect to Kobach and listen to his words, even if he is unwilling to do the same for his audience.

For many students, this was the first time the reality of alcohol's harmful effects had hit so close to home, momentarily crushing that ignorant, youthful attitude of invincibility. Jason's story is an all-too-familiar tragic tale: loving son and brother, lacrosse player for the KU club team, great friend. His girlfriend since the seventh grade described Jason in one word: passionate In the wake of such tragedies, it's a grossly human defense to quickly point the finger outward. PLACING THE BLAME Finger pointing was seen immediately with Jason's death. Judging from the cold-hard facts of his story, it was pretty easy for the ignorant to easily write him off as an alcoholic considering that he had recently been kicked out of his dorm for multiple alcohol citations, he was a member of a fraternity Jason Wren Initiative Where: Budig Hall, Room 120 When: 6 - 8 p.m. and his death was caused from excessive drinking. But less than two months later, Dauton Hawkins' death exposed a bigger issue, reminding many of us that Wren's death wasn't so uncommon. Hawkins, also a University of Kansas freshman, was not living in a fraternity. Nor did he have any drinking citations from his dorm. He was a Mount Oread scholar who fell to his death after a night of drinking. Rarely were the words "it could have been me" heard. Many of us thought it; few of us said it out loud. The words were too disturbing and disheartening to spit out. If Jason's death didn't shake you Dalton's certainly should have. As a freshman at the time, I wasn't so quick to label a stranger as an alcoholic. Many of us have had nights when we have drunk a similar amount of alcohol and mornings when we've woken up with nothing but a bad headache and blurred memories. These deaths unfortunately exposed the true dangers of college drinking today for University of Kansas students. Instead, we point the finger. At Jason. At Greek Life. At Sigma Alpha Epsilon. At the restaurant that served him margaritas. At everyone but ourselves. THE PROBLEM It's easy for students to ignore or dismiss national statistics on college drinking. For starters, approximately 1,700 college students die each year from drinking. That BY MANDY MATNEY mmatney@kansan.com P It's easy to blame the culture of college students. We grew up watching drunken escapades of 20-year-olds on the Real breaks down to five students every day, which means millions of sisters, mothers, friends, teammates and family members lose someone they love to alcohol every year. It means that Jason and Dalton's deaths weren't so rare. It means we need to stop and think exactly about this issue and start pointing the finger elsewhere. World while our parents were working. We learned how to drink to get drunk usually with bottles of McCormik's vodka in a dimly-lit basement in high school. When college When college comes and we no longer have to drink with worries of parental breath checks, we drink more. And we do this with the catastrophically self-destructive attitude of invincibility, the catalyst of disaster. MAKING CHANGE As a student, I know that lectures preaching "don't drink" won't do the trick and neither will cracking down on underage drinking laws. You can't fix a cultural issue like this one simply. It must be done strategically and realistic for it to be effective. It starts with holding ourselves accountable. It starts with swallowing invincibility and gaining knowledge. Attending this year's second annual Jason Wren Initiative tonight is a step in the right direction. The Jason Wren Initiative focuses on educating students about drinking more responsibly. The creators of this event know that students are going to drink despite it being illegal and destructive to their health. Instead of telling them to stop drinking, it educates students on how to help friends in trouble. The event last year made me realize that excessive drinking puts our lives in danger and is not worth it. I look forward to what I'll learn this year. It is our obligation as KU students to learn from Dalton and Jason and keep their memory alive. It's the least we can do. Matney is a junior in journalism from Shawnee.

BY HANNAH DAVIShdavis@kansan.com The Student Athlete Advisory Committee endorsed KUnited Monday night following a debate between Renew KU and KUnited Casey Briner, Renew KU's presidential dential candidate and Josh Dean, Renew's vicepresidential candidate faced off with Libby Johnson, KUnited's presidential nominee, and Gabe Bliss, vicepresidential nominee. Renew KU's josn Dean focused on streamlining funding requests for student groups. "We want to make applying for funding easier, we want students to feel comfortable enough student athletes can train at the rec," Johnson said. "I know athletes can utilize the weights provided for teams,but when those facilities aren't open, student athletes can train at the rec." Libby Johnson KUnited presidential nominee KUited and Renew KU's platforms largely didn't deal with student athletics. Libby Johnson said KUited's promise to bring more free weights to the student recreation center would benefit student athletes. "I know athletes can utilize the weights provided for teams, but when those facilities aren't open, to approach Dean said. During the debate candidates discussed their platforms and how each coalition planned on courting SAAC. After the debate student athletes debated amongst themselves whether or not to endorse a coalition. After the student athletes voted to endorse a coalition, the debate turned to which coalition to publicly endorse. First National Bank First National Bank First National Bank First National Bank First National Bank In the end, SAAC decided on KUnited because of the coalition's track record of supporting student athletes. - Edited by Dave Boyd Student athletes listen to the KUnited and RenewKU representatives' points of view on issues at the SAAC open debate at Hadel Auditorium in Wagonon Athletic Center. KUnited was represented by Libby Johnson and Gabe Bliss, while Renew KU was represented by Josh Dean and Casey Briner. Chris Bronson/KANSAN DEBATE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) An audience member asked about student participation and voting. Last year, 2,034 votes were cast in the senate election, while there were about 30,000 students enrolled. Both coalitions made the case that more participation was needed. Johnson said a President's Council, made up primarily of non-senators, would help keep senate in line and help communicate with students. Dean said that representatives would be sent to campus groups and organizations to act as liaisons between students and senate. "We beg people for votes one week out of the year and that's the only time they see us and we need to be more prominent," Briner said. Another audience question focused on how the candidates would ensure accountability so that they follow through on their promises. "You have to know how the University works in order to get your goals accomplished." Johnson said. "That's something Gabe (Bliss) and I have." Technology planks were also topics of discussion. KUnited made its case for expanded wireless Internet on campus and in student housing by using the wireless fee. Renew KU's technology platform centered on providing wireless printing capability in the libraries. Other topics were also touched on briefly, including how the candidates would hire executive staff. Briner said anyone who applies would receive an interview, while Johnson said she would be looking for leadership ability and passion. KUnited also noted that it would support the creation of gender-neutral bathrooms across campus, while Renew KU emphasized the importance of senate transparency. — Edited by Tali David DUNN BROS COFFEE FREE MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!

Lauryn Reinhart (KUnited) Sophomore, Kansas City, Mo The reason I really want to be elected is to help the students in the architecture school. Last year I ran as a freshman/sophomore UNITED JOHNSONLISS FOOTY candidate, and it was a good first experience in Senate.

Leawood Erin Hylton (Renew KU) My top priority is finding out where exactly the money students are renew KU BRIER-DEAN investing into college is going, especially architecture and design students. We pay extra for classes and spend an uncontrollable amount of supplies every year. My question is, what exactly are we paying for? For many of us we pay for an individual space, but what about the students that don't use that space for several years? I want to show every individual student what exactly they are paying for and how their money is being used during the course of our education.

Josh Selby, the only lajhawk still left with a decision to make about leaving Lawrence for the NBA, wasn't in town for the celebration. Instead, he remained in Las Vegas, working out and getting feedback on where hed go in the NBA draft if he declared. "We'll have an answer in the next day or two," Self said. Selby has missed six days of class to train in Las Vegas, but his schoolwork, so it wouldn't be an issue if Selby decides to return to school. But that decision must come soon, Self said, or the missed class will be too much. "If he's going to be coming back, then he'll come back real soon," Self said. "If not, then he won't." The foursome that has already made that decision — Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor for Kansas, Marcus and Markleff Morris for the NBA — were in attendance Monday night. And while Taylor touched on Selby's impending decision — "I wish him the best of luck, whatever he does," he said — their collective focus was toward the future. Taylor was sporting an ungainly brace on his right hand, a product of a Friday surgery that repaired a torn ligament in his right index finger. The ligament was loose enough, Taylor said, that every time he took a hit to his finger, it would dislocate. Taylor said that playing with the injury and with his fingers taped to prevent further harm took some getting used to. "I got my stroke down toward the end of the year," he said, "but I just was changing my shot a lot. really" Taylor said his stitches will come out next week, but it will be six to eight weeks before he resumes playing basketball. It's plenty of time for him to get to full strength before coming back to play alongside Robinson, who announced with Taylor his decision to return. Robinson said the potential of an NBA lockout was a factor in his returning to school. He also said he welcomed the opportunity to work more with assistant coach Danny Manning, who has been in charge of working with the Kansas forwards since the 2007-2008 season. Since then every Kansas post on scholarship has gone to the NBA except for Sasha Kaun, who was drafted but chose instead to play in his homeland of Russia. "His actions speak louder than words when it comes to D-Manning." Robinson said. "He sends pros to the league." 141 THE REED Kansas Athletics The Association of Kansas Edited by Tali David Tyrel Reed addressed the audience at Monday's basketball banquet.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: Drew Gooden of the Milwaukee Bucks. He had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists against the Cleveland Cavaliers. — espn.com Rivals' losses equal fans' gains MORNING BREW When I was younger, one of my favorite parts of sporting events was the obligatory food giveaways. There are few things more exciting for a young boy than the possibility of a dozen free donuts if the Royals rack up 12 hits or a free pizza from a pretty cheerleader who deems you worthy of such a gift. It's a time-honored tradition in sports to bribe fans for their affection and loyalty through giveaways, the best of which are food. Sporting Kansas City has taken this strategy to an entirely new level. DENNIS The recently re-branded soccer team added to a slew of brilliant public relations maneuvers this season by starting a promotion where fans can get a free sandwich from a local restaurant whenever the Chicago Fire lose. That's right, when Chicago loses, Kansas City fans get a free sandwich. Not only that, but for every goal the Fire give up over the course of the season, Sporting KC is donating $500 to its charity sponsor, LIVESSTRONG. It's the first promotional campaign that I've ever seen that's based solely on the misfortune of a rival team. And it's beautiful. BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Part of the joy of being a die-hard supporter of any sports team is expressing completely irrational hatred toward an archrival. Sure, every once in a while there's a historical reason to hate another group of athletes, like the whole Kansas-Missouri "you burned our town down that one time 150 years ago, so we're going to get our revenge by playing that sport we invented" thing. But usually it just comes down to "you play in that city and we play in this city so we hate everything that you love and that's just the way it is." So why not cash in on that arbitrary rivalry with a delicious arbitrary prize? While it's surprising that this sort of rivalry-based promotion hasn't caught on before, it could very well be Sporting KC's greatest contribution to sports. Imagine if Lawrence joined in this tradition. Instead of Kansas fans merely sitting at home and gloating about every Missouri or Kansas State loss, each loss could turn into a minor holiday downtown with free food and drink and even shopping deals. Why not? THE MORNING BREW Some might say this would be forcing already established rivalries too far. But those people clearly don't value free stuff. Plus, imagine the psychological effects it could have on visiting teams. In addition to slogans like "Beware of the Phog" and "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," we could add "Every time you lose it's like a mini Black Friday up in here!" Itd certainly add insult to injury knowing that every time you added another 'L' to your record, your rival's hometown was getting a small boost to its economy at the same time. So while the Border Showdown might be fun now - take note, Lawrence businessmen and women - how much more fun would it be with a city full of Border Markdowns? Edited by Marla Daniels Tampa Bay Rays end slump by defeating Boston Red Sox MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Sam Fuld went 4 for 6 with a two-run homer, drove in three runs and fell a single shy of the cycle to help the Tampa Bay Rays bust out of an early season slump with a 16-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. Johnny Damon had three hits, including a solo homer, and three RBIs, and John Jaso and Reid Brignac also drove in three runs apiece for the Rays. Tampa Bay came in hitting a major-league worst .163 and had scored just 20 total runs, the fewest after nine games since the 2003 Detroit Tigers — a team that finished 43-119. Boston's loss came in Carl Crawford's first game against his former team. Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo homer for the Red Sox. Crawford, who spent 12 years in the Rays' organization before leaving to sign a $142-million, 7-year contract with the Red Sox in December, went 2 for 5, raising his average to .163. two runs, five hits, walked five and struck out one in 5 1-3 innings to earn the win. Jeremy Hellickson (1-1) gave up Matsuzaka lasted just two-pitus innings, giving up seven runs on eight hits. Fuld doubled into the left-field corner in his last at-bat in the ninth. The Rays, who led for just two innings all season, jumped ahead 1-0 on Damon's homer in the first and never trailed. ing the 2005 season. Before the noise subsided, he belted Daisuke Matsuzaka's first pitch into the Rays' bullpen for his second homer. It got a lot worse for Matsuzaka (0-2) in the second and the boos were much louder for him. Tampa Bay sent 10 batters to the plate, scoring six runs on three consecutive two-run hits after the right-hander loaded the bases with no outs. Jaso made it 3-0 with a two-run double, and Brignac drove in a pair with a single before Fuld hooked his two-run shot around the Peksy Pole in right. Damon, a key contributor to Boston's 2004 World Series title team that ended an 86-year championship drought, was greeted with the usual boos he's received since signing with the Yankees follow- Ortiz became the only AL player with at least one triple in each of the last 12 seasons. The Rays added a run on Damon's RBI single in the fourth before David Ortiz tripled and scored on J.D. Drew's single in the bottom half. Adrian Gonzalez's RBI triple cut it to 6-1 in the third. Ben Zobrist's two-run double chased reliever Tim Wakefield and made it 12-2 in the sixth.

The football team had its first spring scrimmage of the off-season over the weekend and will use the spring season to define players' roles within the program. BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com After only seven practices and one inter-squad scrimmage, it's still too early to see the significant changes within the Kansas football program. But even with the small sample size, coach Turner Gill likes what he sees. "I like a lot of the passion that's been shown so far," Gill said after Monday's practice. "There's some good progress being made." The offensive line has shuffled, as Jeff Spikes moved to left tackle while Tanner Hawkinson is now at right tackle. Duane Zlatinik switched to right guard, with Trevor Marrongelli at left guard and Jeremiah Hatch at center. "We've done a little moving with some other guys too," Gill said of the changes on the line. "But right now, that [lineup] is where we are starting out." Gill said that he felt Spikes is a better fit at left tackle, which is responsible for protecting the quarterback's blind side when he drops back to pass. The early changes seemed to pay off during Saturday's scrimmage, as freshman running back Darrian Miller ran for four touchdowns. Along with the offensive line, Gill liked the progress being made in the secondary. He emphasized that the coaches are seeing more speed from the defensive backs so far this spring. "We're coming in and watching film," junior safety Lubbock Smith said. "Knowing the plays in and out, knowing what the linebackers are supposed to do, it allows us to direct them, that way we can all play faster, not just the safeties." Smith added that a year of experience with the current system helped the defense progress faster this year. From a personal perspective, Gill agrees that a year of experience can work wonders. "I don't know if it's 100 percent different, but it's definitely a difference because I understand where our team is at," Gill said. "Last year I really had no idea until we got to some football games, and then you're on the run trying to make those adjustments." On the quarterback front, Quinn Mecham and Jordan Webb split repetitions evenly during Saturday's scrimmage. Both players saw play last year, with Webb playing in nine games and starting seven while Mecham played in six, starting in five. Gill said that while both quarterbacks have shown much better command so far this spring, Webb has a slight advantage right now. - Edited by Tali David NCAA Coaches National 2006 BASEBALL Jayhawks' season getting back on track Senior outfielder Jimmy Waters catches the ball for an out Friday against Nebraska. Waters is hitting .378 in Big 12 play. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Kansas baseball now appears to be back on track from a rocky start, after winning three of four Big 12 series this season. Kansas has a golden opportunity to continue to prove itself away from Lawrence in its first road test in eight games tonight at 6 at Iowa. "We can't afford to waste any opportunities," coach Ritch Price said. "The players know we have to continue to win these weekday games in order to get back to 500, and make the NCAA tournament." The Jayhawks, who are 15-17 overall and 6-6 in conference play, squared off against the Hawkeyes in Lawrence earlier this season and came away with a 5-2 victory. Iowa has struggled in both pitching and hitting throughout the year, with a 12-17 overall record and 2-4 in the Big 12. The Hawkeyes have a team ERA of 4.45 and are hitting .266. The Jayhawks youth and inexperience often led to underwhelming results when they first traveled away from their cozy nest at Hoglund Ballpark, going 3-10 on the road during the first two months of the season. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN But things have been different in April. Their slumping bats almost brought an end to the heartbeat of the Jayhawks' season before it even began, and now, after being shocked by a defibrillator and brought back to life, the pulse of the lineup is beating stronger than ever. Senior outfielder Jimmy Waters played a major role in the team's turnaround. Waters has been on a roll since Big 12 play began, boasting the fifth-best batting average in the conference at .378. Waters led by example and the whole lineup followed. The Jayhawks' batting average over the course of the season ranks last by nine points. In Big 12 play though, the Jayhawks' batting average is sitting pretty at fourth in the conference. "He is the heart and soul of the team," Price said. "He made some really good adjustments about three weeks ago, and all of his hard work has paid off for him." With the bats beginning to take care of business, Kansas' steady force is the pitching staff. With a team ERA of 3.57, the pitching staff looks to continue their strong play against the Hawkeyes. "I need to see a quality start from Taylor, so that he can continue his development and make progress", Price said. "We need his pitching for the weekday games." Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor will take the mound for Kansas tonight. Taylor is 3-1 in four starts with an ERA of 3.64. The 6-foot-5 right-handed hurler is looking to build off of a career performance last Wednesday, holding Missouri to one hit at Kauffman Stadium. With the Jayhawks riding momentum from their strong Big 12 play, Tonight's game marks a big opportunity to further boost their confidence, heading into a weekend series with Missouri. Price, also feeling good about the Jayhawks' recent play, did very little to hide his feelings of how impressive the turnaround has been for the team. "We've improved more from the first day of the season to where were at now than any team I've ever coached," he said. Edited by Tali David COMMENTARY Twins will be missed off the court BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com You could always count on Marcus and Markeff Morris. Sure, they were the go-to guys on the court. But away from the game action, the twins were full of good stories. So many, in fact, that it was impossible to write about all of them. The twins are hilarious. No one, at least from a reporter's perspective, walked away unsatisfied. They have had a number of gems: Markieff explaining how he improved his footwork with Dance Dance Revolution, Marcus counting out loud (mid-interview) how many times he fouled out last season, and both of them complaining about their mother's free throw advice during games. They popularized the "F.O.E." (Family Over Everything) acronym. They were honest about their emotions. They were special. If you never basked in the company of the Morrii, you missed out. Even coach Bill Self said so last year just as they were coming out of their shells. "If you ever get a chance to spend time with them, they are just delight to be around," he said. "They crack me up." Don't let the twins fool you. In a game, you would see frustured elbows thrown, but the guys are harmless. They are big, lovable kids who love to talk about the simple things, such as going to Smashburger. They may not look it, but they are sneaky intelligent too, even beyond their basketball IQ. It's safe to say that they have probably duped us media folk several times by steering the conversation in a completely random direction. The joy and leadership that the duo brought to the Jayhawks deserves recognition, at least for 2010-11. But how do you sum up their careers, and how will they be remembered? As they head to the NBA, the chances of them making the same team are slim. Their wit will be split in half and their respective teams won't realize how entertaining two brothers could be. But they kept everyone excited. The Jayhawks had a buzz that spread throughout the nation this season. The twins contributed to that buzz, spurring reactions with their unique choice of words and charisma that everyone gravitated to. The Morris twins will not be in the Kansas record books for any significant statistic. The farthest they got in any tournament was the Elite Eight, this season. They were good, averaging 30 of the Jayhawks' 82 points per game and 15 of the team's 38 rebounds. Marcus was a second-team All-American and Big 12 Player of the year while Markieff,was an All-Big 12 Second Team. They accept whatever is next as the physical bond between Marcus and Markleff has come to an end. Last season, they talked about the NBA and the potential of being apart for the first time in their lives. "We talk about this all the time," Markieff said. "Whenever one of us is ready for the NBA, just do it. We're always going to be close. We may not be physically close, but we're still twins, so there that's." Marcus continued his brother's thought. "it's going to be real hard," he said. "We'll be men by that time and grown up. Every chance we get to see each other, we will take the opportunity."

Josh Dean, vicepresidential candidate, said that the coalition wants to take a comprehenive review of where transportation signs and markings are placed, especially unmarked off-campus bus stops. Dean said that currently none of the off-campus bus stops are marked. Instead of looking at a particular section of KU on Wheels steps, Dean said that the coalition would like to take an inventory of all the Lawrence bus stops. That way, Dean said, the proper signs could be made all at once. Casey Briner, presidential candidate, said Renew KU has also proposed that a Safebus route be extended to the west Clinton Parkway area. Renew KU chose the area because of its proximity to student housing, such as The Grove and The Legends. In the past year, Briner said, there were three fatal accidents in the Clinton Parkway area at night. "It's only a matter of time before we have a student fatality out there because somebody's trying to get home and they don't have a way to drive," Briner said. Dean said that the addition of a new Safebus route to that area would cost about $2 per student per semester. To make transportation more affordable and student-friendly, the KUnited coalition has some ideas ltd like to see enacted for the next school year if its members are elected into office. Libby Johnson, presidential candidate, said the first improvement the coalition would like to see is an addition to the Safebus routes that go through Lawrence. Like the Renew KU coalition, KUnited has proposed a route that would be extended down Clinton Parkway near popular student apartment complexes. The KUINed coalition also proposed the addition of bike rentals on campus. Johnson said that Student Senate would develop a system that would offer bikes to students, making them available to rent for short and long terms. Gabe Bliss, vice-presidential candidate, said KUINed estimated that the bike rental would cost less than $7 per day, which is approximately the same price as two gallons of gas. "We want to make sure we can give affordable options for our students so they can be on campus, focusing on their studies," he said. In addition, KUnited would like to focus on on-campus parking for the next school year. Johnson said that KUnited would like to make signs in parking lots clearer and more visible so that students are more aware of parking regulations. Bliss said KUnited also proposed an addition to the KU Parking that would provide students with an interactive map. This map would allow students to see which lots they're allowed to park in, select a lot to check its availability or search a building to see which lots are nearby. K UNITED JOHNSON-BLISS 2011 www.kunited.org — Edited by Amanda Sorell ECONOMY Kobach stresses negative effects of illegal immigration KU BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com At the end of the speech, the first 10 rows of audience members jumped to their feet in applause. Others behind them sat silently, with their hands at their sides or on their laps. Kris Kobach speaks about the effect of undocumented immigration on the economy at the Lied Center Tuesday night. Kobach helped write the recent controversial Arizona immigration bill. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach had just finished delivering a speech on illegal immigration to a crowd of about 900 at the Lied Center Tuesday night. Kobach, who gained notoriety as an anti-immigration advocate last year when he helped write the controversial Arizona immigration bill, spoke about the economic effects of undocumented immigrants as well as laws surrounding immigration. "Imigration is a subject that inspires great passion and great debate," Kobach said in his opening statement. "It is also a subject that does not lend itself well to debate on hand-held signs." His statement about hand-held signs may have alluded to the crowd of 250 KU students, faculty members and Lawrence residents who assembled outside the Lied Center before the speech. The crowd held signs, sang and chanted while protesting the speech. "As a Lawrence resident and KU student, I want something that will bring our community together and not tear us apart," said Sarah Stern, a sophomore from Lawrence and vice president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization. Members of the protest worried that some of Kobach's actions, such as his work with the Arizona immigration law and similar bills he helped with in Kansas and Nebraska, encouraged racial profiling. The Arizona law makes a provision for state law enforcement to detain those who they have reasonable suspicion of being in the country illegally. The law also makes the failure to carry immigration documents a crime. Kobach defended the law in his speech. "They don't turn a blind eye," he said. "Any time they hand out a traffic ticket and they develop a reasonable suspicion that the individuals they are talking to are not here lawfully — this, by the way, cannot in any way be determined by a person's skin color and a person's national origin or a person's race — then they have to call the feds." Kobach also stressed that illegal immigrants take away jobs from Americans. "If you really want to create a job for an American citizen tomorrow, deport an illegal alien today," he said. KU economics professor Ronald Caldwell, who specializes in labor economics, disagreed. "A lot of this is based on the idea that there is a fixed number of jobs, and that is so false," Caldwell said. "If that was true, population growth alone would kill us in this country. Clearly, there is no fixed number of jobs." Caldwell explained that as a population increases, so does its needs. These needs then create job positions for people to fill. "When you have massive uninvited immigration, you are going to have stress on the welfare state," he said. "Illegal aliens are overwhelmingly poor; it's just the facts." Kobach spoke of the strain that undocumented immigrants put on the existing services provided by the United States. This time, Caldwell corroborated Kobach's statement. "If these individuals don't have health care, which I imagine they Caldwell quickly added, however, that it is difficult to know whether undocumented immigrants helped or hurt the economy. He said that while undocumented immigrants use money for services, they also pay certain taxes, spend money within the economy and could actually create jobs. He also said that gathering data on don't, these jobs that they have are probably not offering health care; they would go to the hospital," he said. "Somebody has to pay for this and if they don't have the means to pay for it, that may fall on us." illegal immigration was extremely difficult. "It's not like you're going to call them up and say, 'OK, are you an undocumented immigrant? I have a battery of questions for you'" he said. "It's not going to happen that way. I am sure there would be something out there, but I am a little skeptical about how much confidence I would have in the numbers." The lecture lasted about an hour. At the end of the lecture, Kobach answered questions, which people submitted either online or at the forum. Administrators for the KU School of Business said they did not screen the questions but gave them to Kobach in the order they were submitted. Both Kobach's supporters and protesters remained quiet throughout and did not disrupt the speech. Three KU Public Safety Officers and two Kansas Highway Patrolmen were on hand to control the protest if needed. — Edited by Caroline Bledowski KUJH TV-News For more coverage of this story, check out KUJH's newscast today at 4 p.m. on channel 31 for Knology subscribers.

Peter King, chairman of the Committee of Homeland Security, is holding another round of hearings on the radicalization of Muslims living in America. The hearings aim to investigate possible radical tendencies of Muslims in the U.S. and are considered controversial. The tension hits close to home for members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at the University. "I didn't realize there was such a divide between Muslim-Americans and other Americans." Garrett Fugate, secretary of MSA, said. Fugate says it is encouraging to know there are people who stand against these hearings and who remind the public that Islam is a peaceful religion. But, he says, it is still surprising that more people have not protested the unjustness of the hearings. "To be honest, a lot of the misconceptions are because of Muslims themselves who are portraying the religion in the wrong way," said Fugate."When you want to see what Islam really stands for, look at the teachings" in the Quran, the Muslim holy book. Some MSA members said that the hearings had brought up questions about where the United States itself holds its values. He said the next target would perhaps be another religion, or maybe a group of people who had migrated in large numbers to the country. Ibrahim Alanqar, president of MSA, said he pondered how the "radicalization" hearings fit in with American ideals. "Segregating based on faith hits against the core values the U.S. was established on," Alanqar said. If the hearings targeting the Islamic faith are considered socially and politically acceptable, Alanquar says, he thinks it raises the questions on what the future holds for minority groups. "Whether this was happening to Muslims or any other group, I'd stand against it." Alanqar said. "It's just not right." Chelsey Derks For more on this story, watch KUJH online at Kansan.com.

Few are as exciting and bubbleridden though as Queers and Allies' annual Kiss In. Every year, members of the LGBTQ community and their friends gather on couches, blankets or just the grass to show passersby that it is OK to be gay. "We want to give people a safe space," Rachel Gadd- Nelson, director of educational outreach for Q&A, said."It isn't the normal thing you see on campus but we want to play into that. We want to educate people on why they are shocked." Gadd-Nelson said normally the Kiss In gets a good reaction from people inside and outside the community. There was concern at one point about feeding the stereotype of hypersexuality in the LGBTQ community, but Gadd-Nelson and the other Q&A members say it is worth getting the word out about "heteronormativity." According to the Kiss In handouts, heteronormativity is what "prevents queer and trans couples from holding hands and showing affection on campus and in public" and it is what "otherizes" the LGBTQ community. "We are not here to shock people," Kemi Adewunmi, a KU alumnus from Wichita, said. "We are here to open their eyes."

BUDDY SYSTEM The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon led more than 1,500 members of the greek community in observing the second annual Jason Wren Initiative on Tuesday. Jason Wren, a former pledge member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, died of alcohol poisoning on March 8, 2009. The crowd filled the lecture hall at 120 Budd Hall to mark the occasion with a talk by Rick Barnes, a professional public speaker. Barnes stood before a tall banner bearing Wren's name and a list of the event's sponsors, including the Delta Gamma sorority and Coca-Cola, as he discussed the dangers of alcohol. Barnes opened his talk by asking why students came to college in the first place and closed by providing the answer. The reason, he said, was opportunity. Opportunity to be educated and to build lifelong friendships. "Don't mess it up with this thing called alcohol," he said. "Sure," he said. "But slow down. The issue is how you drink." But Barnes said he took care to set himself apart from public speakers who judge their listeners and issue unrealistic prohibitions. He said he was aware that many in the audience would, at some time, choose to drink alcohol. Barnes said that there was a difference between high-risk drinking and responsible drinking. As he offered statistics to support this point, Barnes tried to overturn myths and misconceptions about drinking. the importance of getting eight hours of sleep and practicing sound study habits. He said that honesty was very important with respect to drinking and that secrecy was dangerous. He also mixed his message with humor and advice. Some of the targets for his humor included Kansas State University, public urination and the inferior intelligence of men as compared with women. He also said that women will sometimes go to the restroom in groups, and many in the audience laughed appreciatively. Barnes talked about As Barnes spoke, the Jason Wren Initiative banner gradually came unstuck from the wall, first hanging crookedly to one side and then falling to the floor. Barnes ignored the incident and continued with his talk, finishing with a hypothetical story of an off-campus party, where most of the students are having good, responsible fun, with the exception of one partygoer, who is engaging in high-risk drinking and behaving in a ridiculous manner. There is always, he said, "that one idiot drunk." Barnes urged the audience not to behave as this person often does. "We're asking you to drink responsibly," he said.

MYTHS AND FACTS, AS PRESENTED BY RICK BARNES **Myth:** Eating a big meal prevents intoxication. **Fact:** Food slows intoxication, but does not prevent it. **Myth:** Beer is less intoxicating than hard liquor. **Fact:** By serving, they are equal; one 12-ounce beer is equal to one ounce of hard liquor. Myth: Most college students consume many drinks on multiple nights of the week. Fact: Two-thirds of college students average less than one drink per day. Myth: A person who has passed out from drink ing should be put to bed. Fact: Passing out from alcohol can be a medical emergency. The person should be taken to the hospital.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS and leave a comment NATIONAL Pay for those serving the country should not depend on shutdown The government came perilously close to a shutdown on Friday. Such an incident would have directly affected some students at the University. There are more than 300 students on campus who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. For those who are serving, their pay would have been cut in half. The status of the GI Bill of Rights, which benefits many veterans, was still up in the air when the shutdown was possible. In an April 7 article in Stars and Stripes, a military-related periodical, the Veterans Affairs (VA) office refused to comment on whether the shutdown would have affected the GI educational benefits. One area where the shutdown would have affected the VA was the manning of help lines that are meant to answer questions for veterans who need assistance with their benefits. Not only could GI benefits have been cut, the veterans would not have even been able to find out what their options were in the situation It is a shame and should be a crime when politics, not economics, affect the pay of the men and women who have given up their time to serve our nation. While some veterans have slush funds to make it through such times, many rely on these benefits to pay their way through college, mainly to pay such necessities as rent. Some of these students are parents and face further problems. On top of attending college, they now must content with the hardship of finding additional income while trying to finish their degrees. Vietnam-era veterans fought long and hard to secure these benefits. A. H. BY AARON HARRIS aharris@kansan.com Current and prior generations have come a long way to ensure that our veterans are taken care of when they return home. That benefits would end because of the politics of a few is a slap in the face to those who fought to provide for others. This whole process has been an embarrassment to our nation. Our nation came close to the government being shut down and the very men and women who serve in the defense of this nation would have been left unpaid but expected to work. To those on campus that this affects, and anyone that has been embarrassed by the actions of our Congress, please write your legislators. Remind them that their duty is not to themselves, but to those that vote for them. Perhaps they should take a cut in their own pay to realize what is happening to those that are affected by their actions. It is not much to ask for our service members to be paid and for our veterans to receive the benefits that have been promised and fought for.

CULTURE Leave the scientific terms in the classroom Naturally, I was blasting Katy Perry's new single "ET" while jogging on campus. I came to a sudden halt when Kanye's chorus came up. He sings, "IMA DISROBE YOU, THEN IMA PROBE YOU." What? Did he compare the scientific procedure of examining something with a slender medical instrument to sexual intercourse? This can be seen in another fairly recent song, "Born this Way" by Lady Gaga. Gaga explains in her usual 10-minute, episodic music video about the simultaneous mitotic birth of a good and evil race on GOAT, a government owned alien territory. Offspring are I felt violated and quickly changed the song. It did not help that I watched the music video that evening. I was entirely creeped out when she floated in space looking like an avatar alien. This song is just another example of how our pop culture intertwines and abuses the world of future science. M. S. MURTHIWALA BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com There is not a gay gene or a transsexual gene.

She also claims we have the same DNA, but are born differently. Gaga infers that our genetic makeup is both biologically and behaviorally driven. This biological determinism is not true and vastly archaic. actually born through meiosis. (I do appreciate the idea of accepting all.) S skewed science is further portrayed in films like "Splice" or "Human Centipede." "Splice" explores "splicing" DNA to create a human-animal hybrid for medical purposes. However, the movie becomes sexual and violent when the new creature Dern tries to seduce the scientists and kill off the boss of the pharmaceutical company. The intention of science was there, but the movie was a thriller because of passion and violence, not medical advancement. "Human Centipede" is an example of medicine gone wrong. Surgeons are meant to help the greater good and alleviate human pain. Rather, Dr. Hieter, the deranged surgeon wants to create a centipede by connecting the anuses of the three victims. This does not further the common good. It is sick, disgusting horror. Music and films use science to capture the interest of the human mind. This would be fine if science were accurately or tastefully portrayed. Show me a horror film on the abuse of antibiotics, creating a superbug. Adding science in the mix of sexual glamour and violent sadism is unnecessary. So please, Katy Perry, stick with your skin-tight jeans and catchy melodies, but leave science out of it. DNA is meant for textbooks and replication in lab work. Infections deal in terms of bacteria, not love. Probing is meant for scientific exploration, not sex.

When the last vote is cast on Thursday night and a winner emerges, what responsibilities will the student body bestow on either KUited or Renew KU? Besides decorating campus with campaign literature, what does Student Senate "Student Senate follows a model of shared governance unique to the University of Kansas," Smith said. "On top of that, we allocate $24.5 million in student fees every year." do? Michael Wade Smith, student boss president, said "a great deal." The $24.5 million comes from the nearly $1,000 in student fees that every student pays the University annually. The University's model of shared governance dictates that 23 percent of KU committees be composed of students. Student senators sit on 43 committees, whose focuses range from setting the academic calendar to campus safety and student legal services. Smith said the student senators' role is to advocate for the student body.

Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Sears, Kmart, Siemens, Sears Holdings, Best Buy, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other groups announced commitments as part of Tuesday's launch. These include promises to hire service members and their spouses and to facilitate job transfers for those who must move as part of their service. They also include initiatives for job training and financial assistance. The initiative is meant to outlast the war in Afghanistan and Barack Obama's presidency, and to create a permanent support network for a volunteer force that these days is only about 1 percent of the U.S. population. Michelle Obama said the initiative was "a challenge to every segment of American society" The president's wife and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, announced the effort at an event at the White House with their husbands. Jill Biden said individual Americans could do their part by arranging car pools, recreational activities and free professional services for the military families LIBERTY HALL accessibility info (749) 749-1912 644 Mass. 749-1912 SOMEWHERE (R) 4:40 7:10 9:25 CEDAR RAPIDS (R) 9:45 ONLY THE ILLUSIONIST (R) 4:30 ONLY students: 60.00 UI in their communities and showing them compassion and small acts of kindness. "Each American has the ability to make a difference in the life of a military family," she said. Many U.S. communities with large bases already know the importance of reaching out to military families, said Deborah Bonito, the wife of Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. She helped start a local initiative when her husband was the mayor of Anchorage. Bonito, a military brat whose father served in Vietnam, was moved to action when a Stryker brigade from Anchorage's Fort Richardson was deployed to Iraq about seven years ago. More than 50 soldiers from the base died within a year and a half, Bonito said, and she wanted to help the families of those who lost loved ones. "Every day in the paper, I was reading about it, and crying about it," she said. "Unless you've served in the military, or have family in the military, you don't have an understanding of what these kids or families are going through." Bonito praised the White House initiative, saying she thought that Michelle Obama had spent a lot of time behind the scenes learning about military families and pushing for better pay and benefits. 11th Annual Lawrence Earth Day Celebration Earth Day Saturday, April 16th 11:00 am: Parade down Massachusetts St. (7th to 11th) Parade hosted by KU Enviros 11:30- 4:00 pm: Celebration in South Park Free Admission! - Informational booths - Live music - Food Vendors - Children's activities - Butterfly garden demonstration - South Park tree ID tour BARRINGTON HILL RESERVOIR Featuring April Showers to Water Towers at a Douglas County ♦ And much, much more!

Jason Hornberger is the faculty adviser to the Student Senate campus fee subcommittee, which is responsible for setting required campus fees. Hornberger says his role is to provide continuity becasue of leadership turnover. "The students I've worked with are very impressive and professional," Hornberger said. "Faculty takes them seriously. They have a unique perspective that no faculty member could provide."

SAN FRANCISCO UNIVERSITY While I like the idea of shopping, the actual act is something to dread-- paying money to spend all day in a mall full of crying kids, texting teenagers and passive-aggressive sales associates. Then you have to try and squeeze yourself into sizes that fit before Christmas, refusing to believe that the extra tray of fudge is now residing on your hips. It's not exactly what I would call fun. Shopping should be a sport. It combines the strategy of golf, endurance of cross-country skiing and physical toughness of hockey. THE MORNING BREW To begin with, it's highly aerobic. You power-walk through miles and miles of stores, many times in uncomfortable shoes (I would like to see the Royals work out in pumps.) You hurdle over dropped clothes and small children to reach the sale section at Macy's. BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com And when you've finally made your purchase, there's the eye-contact death sprint to the cashier. It happens oh-so-casually. You make your way to the cash register when you see someone else approaching from the opposite end of the store. You make awkward eye contact as you both quicken your pace. Before you know it, you're both at the pace of a receiver cutting downfield without actually running (mall walking at its finest)—the intensity heightens and heightens until finally one of you reaches the register a split second before the other. Good shopmanship requires you to passively ask, "Oh, sorry, did I take your spot?" The loser then insists you didn't, giving you a stare that would freeze the soul of Ray Lewis. Shopping is a physical workout as well. You scour the store looking for anything that will fit and grab each item. Before you know it you have pounds and pounds of shirts, shoes, and pants — at least until you go to the changing room and the sales assistant gives you a you-had-better-hang-all-of-those-clothes-back-up-or-else-I-will-ninja-stab-you-with this-coat-hanger kind of look And if you've ever shopped during Black Friday or within a week of Christmas, the physicality goes to a whole new level. It's like comparing synchronized swimming to rugby. The store is filled with over-caffeinated, underslept women looking for the best deal. It all starts with a massive huddle at the doors of the mall resembling the start of the New York City Marathon. When the doors open, it's every man or woman for his or herself. Victoria's Secret probably sees the height of the brutality. Women hip-check and box out other women to find the perfect little piece of fabric. There are bins and bins of eye-poking, nail-scratching frenzies to find the perfect bra-panty combo. It's like the bottom of a football dogpile, but on PMS By the end of a day at the mall, you feel sore, tired and downtrodden. Your feet ache and you're close to tears. Some days you win and you come out with a killer outfit, but other days you come out empty-handed. But it's OK, because it's all for the sport of shopping.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13,2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM RECORD BREAKER PAGE 10A Jayhawks perform flawlessly Jayhawks defeat Hawkeyes 12-5 and make most hits and runs of season BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Jayhawks' first hit in last night's game against Iowa flew over the left field fence, and junior first baseman Zac Elgie proceeded to take a lap around the bases. Elgie's solo shot to lead off the second inning gave Kansas a 1-0 lead to open the inning, and the Jayhawks ran away with the lead from there. The Kansas baseball team now sits just one game shy of .500, at 16-17, after defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 12-5 in Iowa City, Iowa. The 12-run, 13-hit performance marked the most runs and hits the Jayhawks have had in a game all season. "We did a nice job of staying off balls out of the zone and getting the ball elevated," coach Ritch Price said. "We took the fastball away, and that's what you've got to do to be successful." Elgie'ssecond-inninghome run "Everything was going well; I was throwing a lot of strikes, "We took the fastball away, and that's what you've go to do to be successful." with a deep home run to left field. The Jayhawks continued to rally in the inning, and the four-run, three-hit fourth gave the Jayhawks a 6-0 lead. The Jayhawks' bats never let up, scoring one run in the fifth, two in the sixth, and three in the seventh, giving the Jayhawks a 12-0 lead after seven. Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor kept the Hawkeyes silent at the plate. The Hawkeye gave up six hits and struck out five, keeping the Hawkeyes scoreless through the seventh inning. "When you talk about at-bats, you look at whether it's a quality at-bat or not," Lytle said. "Tonight, the team had one of our best nights for quality at-bats." sparked the Jayhawks, as senior outfielder Casey Lytle knocked a single up the middle later in the inning and scored off of sophomore second baseman Kevin Kuntz's single through the left side of the infield. "When you start off the scoring with a homerun, it fires up the dugout, and everyone starts getting into it," Lytle said. The bats continued to roll in the fourth inning, when sophomore third baseman Jake Marasco led off the inning "We're still maturing offensively, and I think it's easier for this team, right now, to play with the lead." Price said. RITCH PRICE Coach The two-run second inning proved to be exactly what the Jayhawks needed. Kansas is 10-0 this season when leading after the second inning, as opposed to being only 5-17 when tied or trailing after two innings. and it made it a lot easier that our hiting put up a lot of runs today," Taylor said. The only hiccup in the game for Kansas came in the eighth inning, after the Jayhawks had already built their 12-run lead. Junior reliever, Jordan Jakubov, allowed four runs off of three hits in the eighth. The win continues to add to the momentum that the Jayhawks have recently gathered in Big 12 play. Kansas has won three of the four Big 12 series it's played this season, and this win marks its second road victory of the season. "The win sets up the weekend to be really special" Price said. "It's rivalry week, and it's going to be a really exciting weekend in Columbia." The Jayhawks hope to take their added momentum to Columbia this weekend, when they take on rival Missouri.

The Jayhawks beat Iowa State while on the road last night. SOFTBALL Jayhawks to face fifth-straight ranked opponent BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Coach Megan Smith has been working to have sophomore power-hitter Maggie Hull and freshman utility player Laura Vickers collect more at-bats. Hull has been moved into the No. 2 spot in the batting order behind lead-off slapper sophomore Alex Jones. The idea is that Jones will utilize her speed to get on base, and Hull will use her strength to advance Jones into scoring position. The softball team is coming off of two tough weekend losses to No. 21 Oklahoma State (3-2 and 4-3) and are still searching for their first conference win. This past week was spent tweaking the batting order and defensive positioning. "I think this line-up is something that is going to work for us," Smith said. Vickers has been showing potential offensively and is the coaching staff's choice to take over in the sixth spot since Hull moved up in the lineup. Juinor Liz Kocone holds the designated hitter position, so Vickers has been working to have strong defensive play at first base alternating with freshman Kendra Cullum. The lineup change has been effective, but has not been enough to bring home a victory. Against Oklahoma. "I think this line-up is something that is going to work for us." MEGAN SMITH Coach the offense rallied back to avoid being run-ruled in the fifth inning of both games. During the weekend in Stillwater, the batters had a late rally in the seventh inning on Saturday and led the Sunday game by a run going into the seventh inning. However, the team fell short in the bottom of the seventh inning because of two unearned OSU runs. "It is how we play now," senior Allie Clark said about the defense. "If we make an error, every- The defense has been steadily improving with the lineup changes. During the weekend series against OSU, the defense committed a single fielding error. one is kind of like, "Whoa." That is not them. They are comfortable out there and they look really good." Today the team will play its mid-week doubleheader Chris Neal/KANSAN against No. 24 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The Texas Tech offense leads the Big 12 with a .371 batting average. In comparison, the Kansas batters are currently hitting .290 and sitting in last place. The Jayhawks are 27-14 overall and 0-10 in the Big 12.

COMMENTARY Next year, it will be Taylor's Jayhawks BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com next year. It is the team in rebounding, too. Maybe blocks, probably field goal percentage, and a spot on the All-Big 12 team is hardly out of the question. Thomas Robinson will lead the Jayhawks in scoring next year. He'll lead the But if you want to know who will lead the Jayhawks, who will be their guiding conscience, you have to look at - oh, God. You have to look at Tyshwain Taylor. Because it's his team next year, Taylor will be free of pressure, and that's when he's at his best. Barring a suspension or an injury, he'll start every game. There's no threat of benching for him, even if Josh Selby does return (which, let's be honest, isn't going to happen). Having a senior point guard be the team leader is a good thing, generally. When the adjectives used to describe your senior point guard are "heart," "grit," "determined" (Remember Sherron?) well, then it's an excellent thing. When those adjectives are more along the lines of "mercurial," "up-and-down," and "inconsistent" (Looking at you, Tyshawn), well, then, yeah, Oh, God. When your senior point guard has perfected, like Taylor has, that caught-with-the-hand-in-the-cookie-jar smile, it's probably because he's been busted a few too many times. Seriously, ask Taylor about his suspension. He tilts his chin down a little so he has to look up at you, then he gets a lopsided grin on his face before answering. The answer changes. "I was a bad boy," he told ESPN's Holly Rowe when she asked what it was for, while now he'll just admit that it did him some good, but while still wearing that yeah-I-screwed-up-but-you-know-you-still-love-me look. I'm not ruling out the possibility that Taylor is exactly the leader a team like Kansas needs. Bill Self is an über-intense coach, particularly in game situations. He loves his team, and that love goes both ways, but on the court it's all business. Taylor provides a foil for that. Self's type A; Taylor's type B. He's going to do some things that make Self turn red and put a hand over his mouth to hide the swear words from the cameras, but that's his style. No matter what, Taylor is going to have fun on the basketball court. It's what makes him a headache, sure, but it's also what makes him a transcendent talent. And he's right, sort of. Fans still do love him. Despite the suspension this year and the fights the year before and the list that goes on and on and on regarding off- and on-the-court issues with Taylor, he manages to be loved by the Jayhawk fanbase at large. There are plenty who don't love him, certainly. Actually, he's probably the most polarizing Jayhawk in recent memory. Taylor could very well flourish next year. Or he could very well falter. But love him or hate him, this is Taylor's team next year, and it'll be one hell of an entertaining show. --- Edited by Sarah Gregory LAST DAY TO VOTE STUDENT SENATE ELECTION Vote Thursday at Mrs. E's Dining Hall, Wescoe Beach and online at apps.ku.edu/~election/ THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2011 JAYPLAY INSIDE WWW.KANSAN.COM Stressed out?

The commission, appointed by Student Senate, is responsible for organizing the elections process and enforcing its rules. A series of complains in the past three years led some to call for a revision of the senate elections code, and the 2009 STUDENT SENATE THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS suspension of a coalition candidate was appealed and later overturned when faculty became involved. "It's not a group that has the best reputation," said Michael Fee, current elections commission chair. He also said that one-year term limits on elections commissioners had, in the past, limited the commission's ability to draw on experience. track exactly when elections documents are turned in. This helps avoid disputes like the one that arose last year after the late filing of a petition that led to the disqualification of two candidates from the Envision coalition. "You need to have people that have been there," he said. This year, the term limits have been lifted, allowing Fee, a senior from Hiawatha, and two other members of the commission to serve for a second year. Fee said the commission ideally should include three returning members who could draw on their previous experience. Other changes include revised elections forms, which are available at the commission's website, an online payments system for fines collection and new office space in the administration offices at the Kansas Union. Fee said a revision of the elections code would also help the commission maintain order during elections. He said some of the language in the code was outdated and it lack- The office in the Kansas Union closes at 5 p.m. and now time stamps forms upon delivery, allowing the elections commission to It hasacked clear definitions of some terms. It also referred to some offices that no longer exist. In March, coalitions KUnited and Kyle Savage, outreach coordinator for the commission, said he would encourage students to apply for membership to the commission. RenewKU disputed the definition of the term "week" and whether or not it applied to spring break. After RenewKU filed four complaints, KUnited was fined $50 for early chalking and for a violation regarding handbill distribution. The two other complaints were dismissed or withdrawn. Fee said those four complaints were the only ones the commission received this year. He described them as moderate in severity compared with past years. Fee said he hoped the Student Senate could order a revision of the code and vote on it in the fall semester. Edited by Jacque Weber "It's a great way to get involved without the time commitment of "student Senate," he said. Savage, a senior from Clive, Iowa, said interested students could pick up an application for the commission at the administration offices in the Kansas Union.

There needs to be local support, as well as attractive new retail shops to entice people to come shop. Riekhof suggests stores collaborate and offer later hours during the holiday season to help get sales up. Large downtown-wide promotions also help to bring people to Massachusetts Street. If there are just bars, restaurants and T-shirt shops left on Massachusetts street, people won't come, Riekhof said. She suggests the best way to combat online sales is if there is a mandatory, yet fair, tax put on all online sales, to make them comparable to what people would spend in stores.

This year is no different. KU on Wheels held a question and answer meeting Wednesday afternoon, in hopes of gathering public input on recommendations that would alter several fixed routes within the existing transit system. The meeting yesterday highlighted the fact that they are not taking anything away from the system, but instead are making changes that aim to improve certain aspects of KU on Wheels. "Our goal is to make it simpler, easier, less complex for KU students, faculty and staff to use," Derek Meier, the University's Transportation Coordinator said. The changes they are making to Route 11, the route to Wakarusa, will affect students the most. Other moderate changes are being done to Routes 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10 as well. "The changes this year are really evolutionary," Meier said. "They show a maturing in the system to provide better access as local things have developed." Although there will be no new additions this coming year, no services will be cut either. Robert Nugent, Transit Administrator for the City of Lawrence, expresses the in-depth process that goes into making the changes every year. "Everything we are doing," Nugent said, "has been coordinated over the last several years." The process begins with a joint planning group, made up of half University's employees and half city employees. The group goes through all recommendations, suggestions, comments and complaints to come up with a series of changes to the system. After receiving approval from the city, the transit department, and the Union, the changes are brought to a series of public hearings, before finally reaching the voting process. All of this is done with the intent to better the existing transit system. "We are continually trying to improve things," Nugent said. "We have tried to use our resources as wisely as we can to get the biggest bang for our buck."

Many Muslim students are outraged and feel this new controversial law attacks their culture and religion. French ban on burqas causes uproar Muslim students disagree with the new law saying it restricts their practice of religion BY ANN WILSON awilson@kansan.com A new controversial law in France has a local religious group outraged. France officials passed a law on Monday banning Islamic women from wearing veils that cover their faces. The ban pertains specifically to burqas, a full body covering with mesh over the face, and niqabs, a veil that exposes only the eyes. The legislation was passed in October, but included a sixmonth warning period before Fines totaling 150 Euros more than $200 — will be given to women who break the new law. Women only receive fines for breaking the law, but men who force women to wear veils have much harsher consequences. Men violating the law will receive a 15,000 euro fine and face a possible year-long imprisonment. Alanqar thinks that the ban transcends fines. He says it's not about the money; it's a belief, and others agree. going into effect on Monday, according to CNN.com.

While While Alanqar and Naseem have faith in the United States constitution to never impose such a controversial law, they fear the French government will receive negative reactions. Two women have already been fined according to CNN.com, and Alanqar and Naseem fear Muslim activists will disobey the new law to make a point. "You start with the burgas, The ban also creates more tension between the West and the Muslim world. "Even if it happened against Jews or Christians, or any other group I'll be upset," Alanqar said.

CAMPUS ISSUES Enhance your college experience: give a frat kid a hug I am aware of at least four variations of fuchsia. I can, more or less, explain the difference between a seersucker and a chino. I have lounged alongside a friend, six feet from a propane tank, as he smoked a cigarette in his sleep, muttering the word "Chiefs." I have seen a naked vaudeville fly through a moonlit sky. I can differentiate the smell of urine from vomit, semen, stale beer, deli meats and nacho cheese (spicy cheddar or jalapeno). I have walked passed a mother into a skating rink as she covered the eyes of her children and told them we had fallen from God's grace. I have awoken multiple times to beats, high heels and heavy breathing, over time developing an ability to turn the thumps, shakes and creaks from the bed above, below or on either side of me into sleep-inducing rhythms.

I have stumbled across a current stock trader hunched over a donut casing pilfered by punching through a secret sorority vending machine, the hole the shape of an onomatopoeia cantion I can visualize the grand trajectory of an egg as it traveled toward me from an impressive catapult several hundred feet away and remember feeling a mixed sense of primordial animosity and utter reverence. I can make an equally competitive catapult. voice relieved, "me too." Then wed relax our stance and compare stories like they were wallet-size photos of our jailbird sons. Though undoubtedly some of the most memorable parts of my time in college, these are also a few of the reasons why I invented impromptu living situations during my first two years at school. When asked where I lived, each occasion was an opportunity to find an honest, albeit incomplete answer that avoided the stereotypes associated with an avowal of living in a fraternity, frat, frat castle, house or whatever term used to describe collegiate boys clubs decorated in the same oak-driven vein as men's department stores. Ranging anywhere on a scale of sketchiness from vague ("a place on Tennessee") to inexplicably confusing and conversationally stultifying ("more or less a school hall"), my efforts at avoiding judgment were, I assume, counterproductive. Not until the last possible point did I mention that I lived in a fraternity. To my surprise, a considerable amount of friends from classes met this transparency with resounding solidarity. "Really?" they'd say, hands upine and But sometimes things didn't turn out this way and I got that whole double consciousness vibe. Understandably, Ralph Ellison characters and marginalized groups garner more sympathy. Lots of fratters and sorority girls imbue cultural capital and are an easy target: loud, class conscious and fluorescent. But for each unabashed frat star there's a handful of plain-clothes frat boys and girls who work part-time jobs to pay off school and even a penchant for the Blue Ribbon. Some of them even plant trees So this Friday, consider forgiving the frat pack that cut you in line at a notoriously underage bar and celebrate National Hug a Frat Kid Day, because underneath that PataGucci pullover is someone who also has to take Western Civ like everyone else.

Somehow a box of chocolates started getting passed around. Once the box was running low, somebody opened a second box only to find all of the chocolate in that one had a grayish-white coating over it. My friends began debating if this chocolate was safe to eat, while I pulled out my cell phone and began looking up causes of discolorations in chocolate on Google. I saw my response as the single most rational response a person could have to such a situation. I don't think that opinion was shared by my friend who laughed at me. Don't get me wrong. It's not like this friend cruelly heckled me. She just thought it was silly of me to get to the bottom of such a trivial matter. I hope that I can change some people's minds on this issue. I can understand why previous generations might have had adverse reactions to research. You had to go to a library, search for a book and then search through the book. I imagine it was a time consuming process. It's a much different story today though. I do all of my research on my cell phone or laptop, and it's very rare for me to not have one of those in my hands at any given moment. Figuring out the discoloration of the chocolate took me less than five minutes. It was most likely a separation of certain ingredients in the chocolate caused by humidity or storing the chocolate at the wrong temperature. It might change the texture or taste of the chocolate, but there's no harm in eating it. I can think of no reason to regret learning that information, and I feel like that was a much better use of my five minutes than defending something I had no facts on in a debate. This spreads into areas other than argument too. Another friend of mine was having me save a stack of Kansans for her because each one had a single story in it she wanted to read. This confused me, because I feel certain she knew she could have read all of those articles on Kansan.com. I don't know why there's still any resistance to looking up information on a computer. My first guess would be some people are afraid of looking like nerds, but if anyone is actually afraid of that I can't explain why so many thick-rimmed glasses are being worn now. I feel like the more likely answer is that the world is still in a transitional phase between physical and digital media. We know that all this information can be retrieved by computers, but we still uphold certain myths from the pre-online era such as facts are hard to find or newspapers are printed on actual sheets of paper. 1 encourage you to bust these myths though. The next time you have a question, just look it up and see how easy it is. Ben Holladay is a senior in journalism from Mulvane. GOVERNMENT Budget cuts: Not everything should be on the table Well, the government didn't shut down last Friday night, as a lot of us were expecting. The House and Senate agreed within minutes of deadline to cut $38.5 million dollars from the federal budget within the next six months to keep the government going. Both sides had agreed on the amount of spending to reduce; the last few days of arguing were primarily about a few unrelated policy riders that Republicans had attached to the bill, attacking perennial favorites such as health care, the EPA and reproductive health. The bill eventually passed with only some of the riders still attached. Both sides, of course, are declaring the final agreement a victory. Bethany Hahn Was this a victory for the democrats? I don't know that I would claim "barely preserving the EPAs right to enforce the Clean Air Act and women's rights to access contraceptives, health care and abortions at Planned Parenthood, for now at least" a heartwarming victory Those policy riders should have never been on the table and the fact that their temporary security is the one thing BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com worth cheering over is really just sad. Women's health and environmental protection are rather necessary to the overall health of the country; reducing them to bargaining chips, as happened with unemployment relief and middle-class tax cuts back in December, is vile Women's health wasn't even completely protected in the deal. A surviving policy rider, crowded about by Speaker Boehner, restricts federal and local funding for abortions provided for low-income women in Washington, D.C. Notwithstanding that this wasn't about the budget at all (clinical abortions cost about three to five hundred dollars. worth cheering over is really just sad. The deficit is over fourteen trillion), but federal funding is already prohibited for abortions. It's clear this was absolutely nothing more than pandering to their base, at the expense of D.C. women. As far as the economy goes, choosing to cut a big chunk of spending in the domestic economy so soon after the official recession is over, while simultaneously fighting in two wars and heavily subsidizing natural industries while the rich have a tax cut, is probably not the best we could do. This is a victory for somebody, I'm sure, but certainly not the ordinary American. Of course, none of this is over. The GOP has said that it plans on pushing through its riders on the environment and Planned Parenthood sometime soon, and it will have plenty opportunities to do so. This summer we'll watch as Congress and the President fight over raising the debt ceiling, which should be quite a spectacle, as many Republicans have vowed against it out of loyalty to their Tea Party base. It might be fun to count the number of politicians who talk about what a travesty it is to leave a huge debt for our children and grandchildren while leveraging that to cut programs for those same children. Well, that might get exhausting, actually. Also in the summer and fall, Washington will have to decide on a budget proposal for the next fiscal year. A few in the Congress have already put out their proposals ranging from the far-right to the actually moderately progressive ensuring some heated debates, especially with election season just warming up. Compared to what we face ahead, the work it took to get this budget agreed on might look like fun and the results maybe even reasonable. Who knows, by the time it's all over the Democrats may have to count it as a victory if they preserve the EPA at all. Free is a sophomore in women's studies from Blue springs, Mo.

Four teams: the Jeeva, K.I.O.S., Unity and Naachformers came together Wednesday night to compete for the title of KU's Best Dance Crew. PS Naachformers battle with three other teams, take home the KU's Best Dance Crew title Ricky Yang, a sophomore from Kansas City, dances during the intermission of KU's Best Dance Crew Wednesday night at the Union. Yang is a member of K.I.O.S. Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN BY LISA ANDERSEN landersen@kansan.com The Kansas Union roared with applause and cheering last night as dance troupe 'Naachformers' was deemed this year's KU's Best Dance Crew. Students, families and faculty members gathered at the Kansas Union Ballroom to watch four different dance troupes compete for the title of KU's Best Dance Crew and a cash prize of $500. "It went very smoothly, and we had a good turnout," said Sara Miller, SUA's cultural arts coordinator and a junior from St. Francis. However, Miller said she was not surprised by Naachformers' win this year. "I saw the rehearsal and the talent they brought." Miller said. This was Naachformers' first year performing at the event. While other troupes practiced their routine for months, Mahmood Khan, Naachformers' team captain and Bangladesh senior, said they put their Bollywood and hip-hop style dance together the week before the show. "I had a club on campus called Volume and Dance Project," Khan said. "We weren't really expecting to win to be honest. One of our crew members started crying because she made a mistake onstage." Dance troupe Jeeva has won the University's competition the past two years. Both Jeeva and Naachformers were selected as finalists, and the other two dance groups that competed then showed their vote by standing next to the banner of the group they thought should win. This is SUA's fourth year planning the event, which began shortly after the premiere of MTV's television show "America's Best Dance Crew." "Jeeva has a huge support system," Khan said. "When almost everyone came to our group—that was just amazing." "It has been a lifelong dream of mine." Karishma Khetani, Overland Park freshman and Jeeva troupe member, said referring to dancing. "It's a great opportunity to incorporate an extracurricular and do something I've always loved to do." Edited by Erin Wilbert Jeeve's routine featured a fusion of Bollywood, hip-hop and a classical Indian dance style called Bharata Natyam. "People really love the cultural side of our dances," Khetami said. "We do it really intensely, and we put our heart into it."

The 13-year agreement will take effect at the beginning of the 2012 football season, and it guarantees Fox a minimum of 40 regular season Big 12 games each year, as opposed to the 18 games with the current ABC contract. While financial terms were not disclosed, multiple reports from have said the agreement is worth around $1.7 billion. The reported $90 million yearly revenue per school is nearly a 350 percent increase from the current deal of $20 million a year. "This agreement demonstrates the long-term stability of this vibrant conference, which in turn will further strengthen our student-athlete programs," University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said of the agreement Wednesday. Under the new agreement, every Kansas home game will be broadcast on a Fox network, ABC, or a University platform. Also included in the agreement are the options for three Big 12 Thursday night football games, one Thanksgiving Friday game and one Labor Day Sunday contest.

EOE KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2011 / SPORTS / 9A QUOTE OF THE DAY "I would say that the quality of each man's life is the full measure of that man's commitment to excellence and victory - whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you." Vince Lombardi FACT OF THE DAY Attendance for Game 7 of the 1985 World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals was 41,658 at the old Kauffman Stadium. -funtrivia.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What was the score of Tom Brady's first full game as Patriots OB? A: It was a 44-13 win over the Colts in 2001. Woods falls short of high hopes — funtrivia.com MORNING BREW ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Woods eagled the eighth hole and had everyone partying like it was the year 2000 at the U.S. Open again. But that image quickly fell apart. Woods played par golf on the back nine, good enough to get him into a tie for fourth place, but not good enough for his fans. As Tiger Woods made the turn into the tenth tee at Sunday's Masters anyone watching would have expected him to win. When people think of Tiger Woods, the golfer (excluding his personal life), one thing comes to mind — dominance. At the beginning of his career, it seemed as though all Woods could do was win. He seemed to be a lock for breaking Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 Major Championships and revolutionized golf along the way. THE MORNING BREW Wood's sponsorship by Nike brought a new feeling of cool to the younger generations, and in turn brought them to the sport of golf in a way that Rickie Fowler's backward Puma hats never will. And then there is his best-selling video game franchise, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, which expanded golf on a whole new level. Did you ever play a golf video game before Tiger Woods PGA Tour? I didn't think so. And Mario Golf doesn't count. People often claim that watching golf is boring, but my Twitter feed would suggest otherwise. As a matter of fact, it seemed like everyone on Sunday was focusing in on one player in particular, Tiger. ESPN.com even has a webpage called the Tiger Tracker, for news on Woods. people still want to see the same old dominant Tiger. As a society, we have come to expect Tiger to come up big in the clutch, and do what we have seen him do so many times before. Even after the turmoil surrounding his car accident with a fire hydrant on Thanksgiving two years ago, But the truth is Woods, like all the greats who came before him, is getting older. He is 35 now, and is starting to see the window close on his opportunity to catch-up and pass Nicklaus. Although he still has time, the more time that passes in between his wins in a major, the greater the pressure gets. So while you might be declaring that Tiger is back after one solid front nine on a Sunday at Augusta, I want to see a little more from him before I make that conclusion.

Too bad for him, the result was a replay of his two other starts. Wednesday. Slumping Mike Aviles doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals became the latest team to tag Liriano, roughing up the Minnesota Twins 10-5 Aviles ended his 0-for-18 rut and Alex Gordon added two hits and drove in two runs. The Royals scored six times in the fourth inning to break open the game. "It was a tough inning for me," Liriano said. "I think I made some good pitches in that inning and they still got hits. So, you've just got to tip your hat to them." Liriano (0-3) gave up six straight hits during the Royals' big inning. He began the game with a 7.71 ERA after Toronto and the New York Yankees knocked him around in his first two starts. The left-hander went 14-10 with a 3.62 ERA last year and ranked fifth in the AL with 201 strikeouts. He is still trying to re-establish his dominance after elbow surgery four years ago. Uiriano held the Royals hitless through the first three innings. The second time through the order, however, proved a tougher task. That's been his pattern this year in their first plate appearance against Liriano, hitters are batting just .083. Manager Ron Gardenhire has been telling Liriano to relax, trust his movement and pitch to contact. In the first three innings, Liriano has a 2.00 ERA; from the fourth inning on, his ERA jumps to 18.56 and hitters are hitting.448 off him. "I threw more fastballs than I'm used to today," Liriano said. "I just wanted them to put the ball in play and not strike them out." Kansas City opened the fourth with five straight singles before a two-run double by Aviles. Alcides Escobar later singled and Chris Getz had an RBI single. "Balls just seemed to find holes." Gardenhire said. "Nothing was hit really hard. Maybe a couple of them, but balls just kept finding places and rolling through." Denard Span was 4 for 4 and scored twice for the Twins, who started the day as the lowest-scoring team in the majors. "I thought the last couple of days the ball was coming off our bats pretty good," Gardenhire said.

But he quickly faded and wasn't a factor in the end, leaving fans wondering if Tiger is truly back. COMMENTARY Football looks to rebound next season WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A P. MARINA BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Football season is rapidly approaching, ladies and gentlemen. Spring practices have been underway for nearly two weeks, and players and coaches are likely eager to get the bitter taste of 3-9 out of their mouths. Here's what fans should expect in 2011: MORE ATHLETICISM The defensive line will feature a pair of former offensive standouts at both end positions with Toben Opurum, the former running back, and Julius Green, who played quarterback and tight end as well as defensive end in high school. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches, Green's athletic ability could be a potential nightmare for offensive linemen. In the secondary, you have Bradley McDougald, who started eight games at receiver in 2010 while returning kickoffs throughout the season. He was also recruited by Ohio State at safety, so the tools are most certainly there. McDougald is joined by another receiver-turned safety in Keeston, who was a highly coveted receiver in high school. Terry made the switch to defense before last season and was impressive before a week-three season-ending leg injury. He finished with 10 tackles and a forced fumble in three games "I was pleased with myself," Terry said.of his freshman campaign. "When I had the opportunities to make plays, I feel like I did." FEWER MENTAL MISTAKES BY PLAYERS AND COACHES He's bigger than last year, and a year of studying the position will be a huge positive for the Kansas secondary. The running game could be great this year. Sophomore James Sims led the team with 742 rushing yards last year as a freshman. With freshman standout Darrian Miller, as well as the lightning-quick redshirt freshman Brandon Bourbon, it's safe to say the running game will excite fans in the fall. Those adjustments are being made in the off-season now, not in the fall when the games count. There were times last year when players weren't getting the right play call from the coaches before the snap. These things tend to happen under a new coaching staff. Coach Turner Gill has said he focused on getting his players mentally tough, repeating that sentiment more than once during spring practices. Things are getting easier in year two, though. "I don't know if it's 100 percent different, but its definitely a difference because I understand where our team is at," Gill said. "Last year I really had no idea until we got to some football games, and then you're on the run trying to make those adjustments" It's still early, obviously, and anything can change between now and August, but Webb looks to be the favorite to start in week one. EXPECT JORDAN WEBB TO START AT QUARTERBACK "It's a lot more comforting out there." Webb said. "You know what the 'fense is doing, and obviously you 'lot more comfortable with the dots.'" Sophomore Jordan Webb started in seven games in 2010 and threw for 1,195 yards, second most all-time for a KU freshman. An injury in the team's week seven loss to Texas A&M sidelined him for three games, but he returned to start in the season finale against Missouri. Coach Gill said that while Webb and senior Quinn Mecham are both more poised this year, Webb has the small edge at this point. Edited by Erin Wilbert CLOSE UP BORN to LEAD Swimmer Joy Bunting’s leadership bloomed early at Kansas and has propelled her to a coaching position BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com When Joy Bunting chose to attend the University of Kansas four years ago, there wasn't a doubt in her mind that she was making the right choice. "The coaches were great, the team was great, and I just felt like this is where God wanted me to come," Bunting, the swimming star from Greeley, Colo., who was a big name on the recruiting board of Kansas coach Clark Campbell, thought after her recruitment trip to Kansas that she couldn't find anything better than Lawrence. Bunting was a spring recruit in a sport dominated by the fall signing period, and one who Campbell wasn't sure if the Jayhawks would be able to sign. After visits to Northern Colorado, Nebraska, and Washington State, Bunting finally made her way to Kansas to see the Jayhawk team firsthand. Bunting said. Howard Ting/KANSAN Early in her first season as a Jayhawk, Campbell had inklings that Bunting wasn't just a passionate swimmer and possessed an intangible quality that was worth far more than just her performances in the water. "You could tell as soon as she got here that she was a natural leader," Campbell said. Bunting immersed herself with Kansas swimming from the beginning, and while she did have some tough times, she always had her teammates to get her motivated to continue to push on. "I remember one time I was struggling really bad when we were doing some dry land workouts, and one of my teammates just came up right next to me, and was like, 'come on we can do this together,'" Binting said. "The upperclassmen just encouraged the freshmen to just be a part of the team." As Bunting's time at Kansas went on, her leadership qualities began to mature and flourish. She was become ing one of the swim team's cornerstones, and one who was always willing to help. By her junior year, Campbell made the necessary move to promote her to captain. "I was a little shocked." Bunting said. "I knew I was ready for it, but being able to be captain as a junior, it was a big thing." Bunting wouldn't disappoint Since she took over the team, Campbell has noticed a change in interactions between his athletes and said that the positive vibe stemming from the team has never been stronger. "People feel good about being on the team, they have a tremendous amount respect for one another." Campbell said. "Joy led the way." Campbell wasn't the only one to notice the effectiveness of Bunting's leadership, and on April 5, 2011, Bunting received the University of Kansas' 2011 SEE SWIMMER ON PAGE 8A SOFTBALL Jayhawks earn first conference win of season 9 23 hwise@kansan.com BY HANNAH WISE Kansas earned its first conference victory of the season with a comeback in the sixth inning against Texas Tech in the first game of the night. The offense rallied against a three-run deficit to score seven runs off five hits, winning 9-5. Brad Tolleson|LA VENTANA YEARBOOK Kansas outfielder Liz Kocon is met at home plate by her teammates after she hit a home run in the sixth inning during the 9-5 win against Texas Tech Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas. On the night, four different Jayhawks tallied two hits apiece. The offense also tallied four home runs from senior Brittany Hile, juniors Marissa Ingle and Liz Kocon and sophomore Mariah Montgomery "It was a shot," coach Megan Smith. "It was a sign that we weren't dying, that we are going to fight. I think it kind of put a boost of confidence in our team." Brad Tollefson/LA VENTANA YEARBOON Montgomery's homer put the Jayhawks on the board in the second inning and was immediately followed by Ingle's. The runs set the score at 4-2 in the Red Raider's favor. In the sixth inning, freshman Laura Vickers hit a double to center field to plate two runners.

Such feats were unheard of at such an early age, but as my favorite notepad reminds me daily, "The last minute is the best minute." I may have been an all-nighter all-star, but I knew little about proper caffeine sources. I scoffed at the idea of my mom making me a pot of black coffee. I would rather eat spoonfuls of sugar than drink that stuff. So that's what I did — in the form of a French vanilla cappuccino from QuikTrip. In my mind, that was the perfect cup of coffee. When I came to KU, I noticed that other people have different ideas about what makes coffee perfect. I met Starbucks snobs and cafe connoisseurs, but the people with the most far-out idea of coffee perfection were those who brewed their own coffee. Why would people go to such trouble when they could stop by a gas station and let the cappuccino maker do the work for you — and give you better-tasting coffee? Who doesn't love sugar? I didn't give coffee — real coffee — a chance until I studied abroad in Costa Rica for a few weeks. The Central American country had gas stations just like the United States, but if they had familiar cappuccino makers, I will never know, because I never looked. Drinking such an inauthentic form of coffee within a culture where people live and breathe coffee seems insulting. During my trip, I saw firsthand how coffee is deeply rooted within the history, economic structure and everyday life of Costa Ricans. I visited coffee plantations, picked coffee beans and watched how coffee is processed. These visits made me realize how valuable coffee is and how I should appreciate it more — and not spoil it with, perhaps, unnecessary sugar. Fortunately, my palate developed a likeness for Costa Rica's home-grown coffee that was as shocking as it was enjoyable. All I needed to add was a little bit of milk. MOLLY MARTIN | EDITOR After that trip, I finally realized that QuickTrip French vanilla cappuccinos don't even taste like coffee is supposed to taste. And I'd rather know what exactly I'm putting in my coffee cup. I've been thinking about purchasing a coffee maker, but the process of brewing my own coffee has overwhelmed me. Lindsey's story on page 11 provides the perfect guide for learning how to brew at home, and I'm confident it will help me get started. It will help you, too, so check it out.

Rehearsing, performing and traveling by bus for three months leaves little time for romance, but Jeremy Stevenson and Angie Burns found a love to last a lifetime. The two met in Los Angeles in 2003 at a rehearsal camp for their Christian performance group, Continental Singers. Burns was the director of Stevenson's tour group. The long road trips gave Stevenson and Burns time to get to know each other. YOU'RE WORTH IT! Stevenson, Olathe senior and ROTC cadet, says he was drawn to Burns' cheerful personality. "She was really enthusiastic about everything all the time," he says. "I am not a bubbly person, so I appreciate it more in other people because I could never be that way." Their feelings for each other blossomed, but there was one problem: the ministry discouraged romantic relationships on tour. If a relationship did start on tour, the director was responsible for keeping the romance under control. The fact that Burns was the director made the situation sticky, so the Contributed photo Love songs: Burns and Stevenson met on tour when she was the director of his singing group. couple decided to keep their romance under wraps. "We kept it hush-hush that we liked each other for half the tour," Stevenson says. They avoided displays of affection and kept flirting to a minimum, but Stevenson says he stole kisses "when nobody was looking." After the tour, Burns and Stevenson maintained a long-distance relationship and married in 2006. They live in Olathe, where Burns is an assistant to the executive pastor at their church. The couple is expecting their first child in the fall. // CAROLINE KRAFT ABE&JAKE'S EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING Thursday: Ladies Night Ladies in free before 10PM DOORS OPEN AT 9PM 04 14 11 2011 www.karite.org 41 SEATS WON BRINER-DEAN 21 SEATS WON Graphic by Clayton Ashley/KANSAN President-elect Gabe Bliss graphic flashed on screen that the room erupted in raucous applause and yelling.

These bacteria produce noxious gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, aka morning breath. > Dude...gross. Morning breath is an everyday occurrence for Ed Rostetter, Circleville senior. "I can't really help it. I sleep with my mouth open," Rostetter says. "It doesn't really bother me." There were times last year when players weren't getting the right play call from the coaches before the snap. These things tend to happen under a new coaching staff. Coach Turner Gill has said he focused on getting his players mentally tougher, repeating that sentiment more than once during spring practices. Things are getting easier in year two, though No one wants to wake up blowing moose breath on his or her other half, but people can prevent this gross condition in as little as two minutes. Bacteria causes morning breath, says Michael Reno, a dentist at Cosmetic Denta Arts of Wichita. Bacteria are actually always present in our mouths. When we're awake, salivary glands help rinse off our teeth by producing saliva. However, when we sleep, saliva production decreases, thus causing a dry mouth.

Bad breath gets worse at night when your mouth gets dry. Brushing will help to prevent bacteria that makes breath smell. But by flossing and brushing our teeth before bed, we can significantly lower this bacterial count and the chance of getting morning breath. Reno says the best approach to great oral care is with a circular motion of the toothbrush, rather than a back and forth motion. The toothbrush should also be pointed 45 degrees toward the gum. Individuals should brush their teeth for a minimum of two minutes. Reno also suggests brushing the tongue, palate and inside of the cheeks to help reduce morning breath. // JUSTINE PATTON He's bigger than last year, and a year of studying the position will be a huge positive for the Kansas secondary.

Kansas earned its first conference victory of the season with a comeback in the sixth inning against Texas Tech in the first game of the night. The offense rallied against a three-run deficit to score seven runs off five hits, winning 9-5. On the night, four different Jayhawks tallied two hits apiece. The offense also tallied four home runs from senior Brittany Hile, junior Marissa Ingle and Liz Kocon and sophomore Mariah Montgomery "It was a shot," coach Megan Smith. "It was a sign that we weren't dying, that we are going to fight. I think it kind of put a boost of confidence in our team." Montgomery's homer put the Jayhawks on the board in the second inning and was immediately followed by Ingle's. The runs set the score at 4-2 in the Red Raider's favor. In the sixth inning, freshman Laura Vickers hit a double to center field to plate two runners. Sophomore Alex Jones' slap hit then brought Vickers home after she had advanced to third off a single from freshman Ashley Newman. Sophomore Maggie Hull hit a pop fly to give Newman the opportunity to score, setting the score in Jayhawks' favor at 6-4. Hile then hit a two-run home run followed by a home run from Kocon. "Somebody got the spark on them and we just kept rolling with it, Kocon said. The defense was also strong against the Red Raiders, especially considering that Texas Tech's offense is leading the Big 12. "Julie Jenkins had an unbelievable catch in center field. We moved Alex Jones to pitch and we put Julie in centerfield and she robbed someone, Smith said. I really think that boosted our team." Jones pitched the final three innings of the first game, allowing only one hit. The nightcap was a complete reversal of the first contest. The Jayhawks were run-ruled 10-0 in five innings. Texas Tech pitcher Brittany Talley essentially shut down the offense, throwing four strikeouts and allowing only two hits. The Red Raiders recorded 11 hits in the contest. They scored all ten of their runs in the second, third and fourth innings. "We just never got in a groove," Smith said. "Kristin Martinez threw really well, but we had a bad play that cost us runs. We just never could recover and never could get clicking." Despite the loss, the team is 4 happy with the victory. "We got some breaks and hit the ball and we are really excited about it," Smith said. The Jayhawks are now 1-11 in conference play and 28-15 overall.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO GET HIT BY A BULL The summer after my senior year of high school, two friends and I were in Pamplona, Spain for the last day of the annual Running of the Bulls. After a night of sleeping outside on the ground amid the chaos of the festival, we wired up in the street, ready to run. My friend who speaks Spanish swears he heard a local next to us say, "Let's push the Americans in front of the bulls!" We didn't know what we were doing — we actually missed the part where you run alongside the bulls in the street. But we made it into the arena where they release a bull at a time. They're like baby bulls with corked horns. A hundred people were in the arena. Everyone would form a ring around the bull and then guys would run and slap the bull on the ass when it's distracted. I kept scooting nearer until finally I was the one running in to slap the bull. After one instance of nonchantly slapping the bull, I jogged away as usual, but when I turned around the bull was right behind me. I thought "Oh shit" and I tried to get away. But the bull was faster. He hit me in the lower back and threw me six feet into the air. The bull's horns had somehow fit perfectly around me. I had so much adrenaline that it didn't hurt at the time. But for the rest of the trip my neck was so sore I couldn't turn it, so I had to lean far back to look at art in the museums. After it was all over I was ecstatic. I wanted to go back the next day and play with the bulls, but it was the last day of the festival. It was just so much fun. // BY LLOYD WENDELL BIDDICK III | OVERLAND PARK SENIOR AS TOLD BY BECKY HOWLETT ALFA ROMA Contributed Photo Raging bull: Lloyd Wendell Biddick (center) with friends at the Running of the Bulls in Spain. now what?

DAY TRIPPER DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY AND ODDITIES OF RURAL KANSAS // JENNIFER DIDONATO I could only laugh. My car had died and now sleet and lightning had decided to show up during our hour-and-a-half wait for the tow truck. It was the perfect end to our strange and beautiful escapade through rural central Kansas. THE DRIVE Curious to see what Kansas had to offer poor, time-deprived college students, a few friends and I headed west on I-70. The land gradually morphed from flat plains to grasscovered buttes and rocky outcroppings as we entered the Smoky Hills region near Salina. Campfire fragrance greeted us as wispy smoke clouds rose from behind the hills. Rounding a bend, we saw patches of what was once flaxen prairie grass, now blackened and smoldering. The Smoky Hills were literally smoking and not far from the first destination on our trip. A discrepancy in GoogleMap's directions — nearly two miles of roads missing — added an extra hour to our drive. I soon found myself on a couple doorsteps in the middle of nowhere. One kind man gave me directions: "Go down this road here, take the dirt road to your left, then take a right on the other dirt road..." After more failed attempts, I pulled up to a newly built log cabin. The owner gave me more instructions containing references to ambiguous dirt roads. ROCK CITY "You know what?" he stopped himself. "It'd just be easier if I took you there." We followed him in his red pickup truck to the site, only a few miles away. He pulled off to the side of the road and returned my wave of thanks as we pulled into Rock City. Kansas used to be covered by an ocean, says Dan Suchy, a geologist at Kansas Geological Survey in Lawrence. During that time, calcium carbonate minerals precipitated around small shell fragments. Over time, the calcium carbonate continued to grow outward in a hard, spherical formation known as a concretion. Eventually, the ocean dried up and softer materials surrounding the concretions eroded away, leaving giant spherical boulders standing on the land. Rock City, a privately owned park, looks like the unearthly terrain of another planet you'd see in a 1950s sci-fi flick. It is a field, roughly the size of two football fields, containing about 200 concretions, some rising two stories high, some only half-domes protruding from the ground. Garrett Johnson, Fredonia senior, visited Rock City with some friends a few years ago on a road trip and marveled at the unusual landscape. "It seemed a bit alien," Johnson says. "I pictured myself walking through a Lord of the Rings movie or maybe Chronicles of Narnia." Some people have left more than just footprints. Kirn says the site was once a common meeting place among pioneers and Native Americans. Visitors can see names scratched into the rocks, which date back to the 1800s. The park also contains picnicking areas. Janel Kirn, president of Rock City, Inc., says that visitors are invited to walk around, climb up and even picnic on the rocks. "We ask that people take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints," she saws. In 1920, the park was nearly destroyed when Highway 18 was being built. Kirn says the builders thought the best source of highway material would be the concretions — crunched up. But people in Ottawa County put a stop to that idea. Kirn says Rock City now brings an estimated 5,000 paying visitors annually from May 1 through September 1, charging a fee of only $3 in season, and nothing off-season. We came during the off-season, so we got our climb-time in for free. MUSHROOM ROCK It was a windy day, so we ate lunch in the car, driving an hour south on Highway 81 to another unique concretion grouping outside of Marquette, Kan. A tiny, five-acre park, Mushroom Rock State Park contains only a handful of concretions, a few small trails that wind around them, and a primitive bathhouse. These nearly 25-feet-tall concretions are less spherical and more disc-like than Rock City's. Rather than standing on the ground, they perch atop softer sandstone bases, or pedestals, giving them their mushroom shape. "At Mushroom Rock, the material was eroded from the top down," Dan Suchy, the geologist, says. "The concretion protected the sandstone underneath from weathering, so it stayed longer than the surrounding materials. It's just a remnant of what was once encasing that concretion." Carvings cover the sandstone pedestals of Mushroom Rock and Pulpit Rock Formations, reminiscent of hieroglyph-littered obelisks. While older carvings like the ones at Rock City seem historic and charming, at Mushroom 04 14 11 8 He's bigger than last year, and a year of studying the position will be a huge positive for the Kansas secondary.

FEWER MENTAL MISTAKES BY PLAYERS AND COACHES "I don't know if it's 100 percent different, but its definitely a difference because I understand where our team is at," Gill said. "Last year I really had no idea until we got to some football games, and then you're on the run trying to make those adjustments." Those adjustments are being made in the off-season now, not in the fall when the games count. “It’s a lot more comforting out there,” Webb said. “You know what the defense is doing, and obviously you’re a lot more comfortable with the offense.” EXPECT JORDAN WEBB TO START AT QUARTERBACK There were times last year when players weren't getting the right play call from the coaches before the snap.

"That sandstone can't be replaced," he says. "Eventually the rocks will fall down." Martin says he discourages people from climbing the mushroom concretions. However, one notable concretion is climbable — Devil's Oven. The formation somewhat resembles a brontosaurus head lying on the ground. Eager to climb it, I found a small tunnel leading from the back of it to the top. It was just large enough for me to squeeze through and wiggle out onto the flat surface of the concretion. It was surreal, standing on such a bizarre rock, seemingly inserted randomly into miles of rolling prairie. KANOPOLIS STATE PARK Running out of daylight, we sped south about 10 miles on Highway 141. Kanopolis Lake glittered in the late-a-fternoon sunlight, visible from miles away. Kansas's first state park, established in 1955, Kanopolis offers 26 miles of multi-use hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. Park manager Rick Martin says that visitors can "expect to see a little bit of everything" on the trails. A popular trail among hikers is the 1.5-mile Buffalo Tracks Nature Trail, which features a canyon and 60-foot cliffs with a spring-fed creek at bottom. "You can easily spend hours up there exploring," Martin says. "These are not your well-groomed city trails." Beginning mountain bikers can take Split Boulder Trail, which winds through 1.6 miles of woods and meadows, speckled with boulders and water crossings. Horseback riders and their horses can camp at Rockin K Campground, where they can access the Horse Thief Canyon Trail, which loops through woods and canyons. Indeed, the circuitous trails pass by canyons, pastures, spring-fed creeks, beaver dams and prairie dog towns. Wildlife enthusiasts can find an abundance of deer, turkey, pheasant, quail, beaver, muskrat, skunks, possums, badgers, bobcats, snakes and lizards. The park has over 200 campsites and four cabins available for rental. It also offers hunting, fishing and boating opportunities. Visitors should contact the park office for rules and regulations, to make reservations and to obtain maps and permits.

THESE ARE NOT YOUR WELL-GROOMED CITY TRAILS. > Rick Martin Kanopolis Park manager (April 1 through September 30) and $3.70 in the off-season. The sun was low by the time we had arrived, so we only had time for a 45-minute hike on one of the nature trails. Crossing through woods and prairie grasses, we ended our trek at a boat ramp to watch the setting sun. THE RETURN After a day of searching, climbing and hours of driving, we headed back to Lawrence. Approaching the Smoky Hills again, an unexpected roadblock and state trooper awaited us. He said during one of the prescribed field burnings, the fire got "a little too close to the road." After several minutes of waiting, we drove by to see that the blackened grass we'd spotted earlier had burned straight up to the pavement. After getting on I-70, we decided to stop for some Starbucks outside of Manhattan. Only a few miles from our exit, my car began struggling up a hill. I gave it a little more gas, only to have it die seconds later. We coasted the rest of the way to the top and had the next hour and a half to reflect on all we'd experienced — the beauty and the oddities. Ending the day with a dead car and a sleet/lightening storm seemed amusingly appropriate for all the eccentricities rural Kansas had given us. Quirky Kansas Attractions Truckhenge TOPEKA Before transforming his family farm into a grassroots art tourist attraction, Ron Lessman says he owned a lawn service and raised hogs. Whenever an old truck used in his lawn service broke down, he simply left it in his yard to provide shade for his hogs. After selling his hogs in 2000, Shawnee County zoning officials considered his trucks abandoned vehicles. "They told me to pick my trucks up, so I did," he says. Lessman literally raised his trucks up on one end and spray painted tongue-in-cheek political statements on the sides. Thus, Truckhenge was born. Lessman spent the next 11 years adding "Beer Bottle City", "Boathenge" and various sculptures made from recycled materials such as shoes, license plates and scrap metals. He even made his 8,000-square-foot Quonset home using recycled materials. Lessman offers guests 1.5-hour tours of his recycled art displays, home and pond for free. Visitors can call Ron at 785-234-3486 to schedule a tour during daylight hours any day of the week. The World's Biggest Ball of Twine | CAWKER CITY Frank Stoeber probably never expected his trash to become the treasure of Cawker City, drawing thousands of people from around the globe each year. As an alternative to throwing away his sisal twine scraps, Stoeber began wrapping them into a ball in 1953. Overtime, Stoeber and his friends kept adding to the ball until it was too big to keep in his barn. Stoeber eventually transported it to town, where it remains today. About 100 miles northwest of Manhattan, Cawker City holds an annual Twine-a-Thon. The town also features what Linda Clover, the Ball of Twine caretaker, calls the Outdoor Masterpiece Art Gallery, which incorporates twine balls into replicas of paintings like the "Mona Lisa" and "The Scream." Visitors can pick up a variety of twine-themed souvenirs, including miniature twine ball key chains. For those who wish to stay overnight, the Ball of Twine Inn is available for only $30 per person, per night. The Ball is available for viewing at the intersection of Wisconsin St. and Highway 24 at no charge. Clover can also give a history of the ball and pieces of twine for visitors to add to it. She can be reached to schedule a viewing any time of day, any day of the week, at 785-781-4470. Garden of Eden | LUCAS Samuel P. Dinsmoor wanted to build a log cabin after he moved to Lucas, Kan. in 1905. But because Lucas was a treeless prairie at the time, he constructed a cabin out of quarried limestone, made to look like logs. Ahead of his time, Dinsmoor pioneered the grassroots art movement in Kansas, creating massive sculptures all over his half block of property using concrete (a new medium at that time). A member of the Populist Party and an adherent of deism, Dinsmoor's art is saturated with political and religious statements. "A lot of people come for the art," Mary Anne Steinle, tour guide and great niece to Dinsmoor, says. "But I think most people come to see the body." Dinsmoor studied mummification and left detailed instructions for his own mortician. His mummified body is on display under glass in the limestone and concrete mausoleum that he built. The museum is open for half-hour tours of the house and grounds from 1 to 4 p.m., seven days a week, November through April, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, May through October.

Brad Tolleyson/LA VENTANA YEARBOOK hwise@kansan.com Kansas earned its first conference victory of the season with a comeback in the sixth inning against Texas Tech in the first game of the night. The offense rallied against a three-run deficit to score seven runs off five hits, winning 9-5. On the night, four different Jayhawks tallied two hits apiece. The offense also tallied four home runs from senior Brittany Hile, junior Marissa Ingle and Liz Kocon and sophomore Mariah Montgomery "It was a shot," coach Megan Smith. "It was a sign that we weren't dying, that we are going to fight. I think it kind of put a boost of confidence in our team." Montgomery's homer put the Jayhawks on the board in the second inning and was immediately followed by Ingle's. The runs set the score at 4-2 in the Red Raider's favor. In the sixth inning, freshman Laura Vickers hit a double to center field to plate two runners. Sophomore Alex Jones' slap hit then brought Vickers home after she had advanced to third off a single from freshman Ashley Newman. Sophomore Maggie Hull hit a pop fly to give Newman the opportunity to score, setting the score in Jayhawks' favor at 6-4. Hile then hit a two-run home run followed by a home run from Kocon. "Somebody got the spark on them and we just kept rolling with it," Kocon said. "Julie Jenkins had an unbelievable catch in center field. We moved Alex Jones to pitch and we put Julie in centerfield and she robbed someone, Smith said. The defense was also strong against the Red Raiders, especially considering that Texas Tech's offense is leading the Big 12. I really think that boosted our team." The nightcap was a complete reversal of the first contest. The Jayhawks were run-ruled 10-0 in five innings. Texas Tech pitcher Brittany Talley essentially shut down the offense, throwing four strikeouts and allowing only two Jones pitched the final three innings of the first game, allowing only one hit. hits. The Red Raiders recorded 11 hits in the contest. They scored all ten of their runs in the second, third and fourth innings. "We just never got in a groove," Smith said. "Kristin Martinez threw really well, but we had a bad play that cost us runs. We just never could recover and never could get clicked." Despite the loss, the team is 4 happy with the victory. "We got some breaks and hit the ball and we are really excited about it," Smith said. The Jayhawks are now 1-11 in conference play and 28-15 overall.

You just need to find the perfect balance. // LINDSEY SIEGELE Java. Joe. Mud. Whatever name you call it, coffee has taken over America, with chain shops like Starbucks and local shops like Lawrence's Java Break on street corners and in malls throughout the nation. More than 50 percent of American adults drink coffee every day, according to a study by the National Coffee Association and the Specialty Coffee Association of America. That's more than 150 million people sipping java daily. But a cup of joe from a coffee shop can cost a pretty penny, and home brewing is often relatively cheap. If you want your home brew to taste as good as the coffee at your favorite café read on. Finding the right beans for your tastes is a matter of trial and error, says Ken Davids, author of Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing and Enjoying. "Before people get to which coffee, from what country or what blend to buy, they need to know what their preferences are in roast," Davids says. "Otherwise, they get confused." Start by trying coffee beans of different roast levels: light, medium and dark, and determining which you like best. A dark roast will have a simpler, more bitter flavor, like the coffee at Starbucks, says Davids, whereas medium and light roasts will be less bitter and more complex in flavor. IAVA JARGON After you've determined your favorite roast level, you can begin trying beans from different companies. Davids recommends Comprises 70 percent of the world's coffee and is superior in quality to other coffee species. Arabica THE BEANS Balance Tasting term applied to coffees for which no single characteristic overwhelms others. Balance A mixture of two or more single-origin coffees. Blend Body The sensation of heaviness, richness or thickness when one tastes coffee. Fair Trade Coffee Dark Roast Can describe any roast of coffee darker than the traditional American norm. Fair Trade Coffee Coffee that has been purchased from farmers at a "fair" price as defined by international agencies. Light Roast Coffee brought to a degree of roast lighter than the traditional American norm. Medium Roast Coffee roasted to traditional American taste. Organic Coffee Coffee that has been certified by a thirdparty agency as having been grown and processed without the use of pesticides herbicides or similar chemicals. Whole Bean Coffee Coffee that has been roasted but not yet ground. It's the quality of the beans, not the quality talking to people in the area about their favorite roasting companies and reading blogs, like coffeeeview.com, to learn what other coffee drinkers like. Actually, you don't need a coffee maker at all. Newell recommends a cheap alternative: buy a filter holder from a grocery store and some paper filters, put a filter and coffee inside, boil water on the stove and pour it through the filter. "That's a perfect cup of coffee," he says. "I've tried a couple of brands," Stephanie Stoss, Hays sophomore, says. Stoss brews her own coffee using Dunkin' Donuts pre-ground beans. "It was the best I could find," she says. Dunkin' Donuts may not be the first choice of coffee connoisseurs, but finding beans you like is what really matters. You should also consider freshness. The best way to enjoy fresh coffee is to buy recently-roasted whole beans and grind them yourself, says Davids. If you can't afford to grind them at home, you can find grinders at many cafes and grocery stores, where you can grind fresh beans to take home. Can't afford a top-of-the-line coffee maker? Don't sweat it, says Colin Newell, senior editor of the informational website coffeecrew.com. "You don't need an expensive coffee maker," Newell says. THE MACHINERY of the machine that matters. Deneige Barr, Manhattan sophomore, swears by her Coffee-Mate coffee maker, which she was given before starting college. She says the coffee she makes is comparable to what she buys at coffee shops. "You can brew it to the right strength on your own," she says. THE BREW The amount of grounds you use to make a pot of coffee depends on your strength preference, but Newell of coffeecrew.com says an easy rule for a good brew is 2.5 to 3 tablespoons for every 8 ounces of water. (8 ounces is about half the size of a grande Starbucks coffee.) Once again, you can experiment with the amount of coffee you use until you find the perfect amount. "Everybody's opinion is a little different," Newell says. "I tend to overestimate how much I should use. It's hard to use too much, but you can definitely use too little." Water quality makes a difference in flavor, too. Water with a high mineral content (hard water) is best because the flavor components attach to minerals, creating a better-tasting brew, says Newell. After you've picked your favorite beans and measurements, follow the manufacturer's instructions that came with your coffee pot and you'll be well on your way to the perfect pot of coffee. 11 04 14 11 N AN KU vows nae withorms osses K GARRISON onkansan.com ver really about the Renew KU signed hard, but — that KUunited ms. getting the vice-presidential sent of the vote sitting seats as it past 17 years room of about supporters was residential caner summed up by others later, derdog can be hurt. his knowing it e said. maybe couldn't dth that it was se I think I'm rian Gilmore, aka who was President-elect Gabe Bliss" graphic flashed on screen that the room erupted in racous applause and yelling. great great great hall out.

Lawrence Community Theatre, 1501 New Hampshire St., is performing Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird as part of a community-wide celebration of the classic American novel. "It's one of my absolute favorite stories; I've been enamored with it for a long time," Piet Knetsch, the director, says. The theatre performance of To Kill a Mockingbird is part of a local reading initiative called Read Across Lawrence, sponsored by the Lawrence Public Library. The monthlong program features special presentations, discussion forums, community film screenings and theatre presentations throughout April, all of which spotlight Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Knetsch says the story's themes of tolerance and friendship are still relevant today, even though it was written 50 years ago. "It's a feel-good story, despite some awful things that happen," he says. "It touches something very deep inside us, and there are never dry eyes." The empathy and emotion the story evokes should be well suited for the small, intimate setting of the Lawrence Community Theatre. Tyler Wayne, Overland Park junior, says because the audience is so close to the stage, you feel "like you're right there in the action." // LINDSEY DEITER Performances began April 8 and continue tonight. Thursday-Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday performances start at 2:30 p.m. Reserve tickets by calling 785-843-7369 or by visiting www.theatrelawrence.com.

It's pretty hefty recording personnel for a relatively new indie pop band only putting out its sophomore record. On the sleepy and psychedelic "Anne With an E," guitars hum listlessly as though their players were nodding off, but a close listen reveals triteness: "Let's go out tonight and do something that's wrong / 'Cause I don't feel alright when disaster's gone." At least you can barely understand the lyrics without looking at the liner notes. The title track combines the brooding drones and cavernous vocals of My Bloody Valentine with the grungy riffing of The Smashing Pumpkins. While a seemingly successful fusion on the surface, it doesn't really go anywhere. THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEAVEN BELONG Though interesting and enjoyable, Belong has frequent sags. The aim seems to be for a more fuzzed aesthetic, with production and mixing credits going to Flood and Alan Moulder, veteran record producers who've Though the group makes a solid effort with a step away from atmospheric jangle-pop, the record falls flat with cliché — but it's still a noble melding of sounds and influences. Many so-called shoegaze revivalists nowadays rely solely on woozy guitar effects, distant vocals, monotonous drums and tons of reverb. But they often forget or overdo the movement's overlaps with grunge, post-punk and '90s indie/alternative rock. New York's The Pains of Being Pure at Heart come close to striking the balance with their sophomore release Belong. There were times last year when players weren't getting the right play call from the coaches before the snap. These things tend to happen under a new coaching staff.

Kansas earned its first conference victory of the season with a comeback in the sixth inning against Texas Tech in the first game of the night. The offense rallied against a three-run deficit to score seven runs off five hits, winning 9-5. On the night, four different Jayhawks tallied two hits apiece. The offense also tallied four home runs from senior Brittany Hile, juniors Marissa Ingle and Liz Kocon and sophomore Mariah Montgomery "It was a shot," coach Megan Smith. "It was a sign that we weren't dying, that we are going to fight. I think it kind of put a boost of confidence in our team." Montgomery's homer put the Jayhawks on the board in the second inning and was immediately followed by Ingle's. The runs set the score at 4-2 in the Red Raider's favor. In the sixth inning, freshman Laura Vickers hit a double to center field to plate two runners. Sophomore Alex Jones' slap hit then brought Vickers home after she had advanced to third off a single from freshman Ashley Newman. Sophomore Maggie Hull hit a pop fly to give Newman the opportunity to score, setting the score in Jayhawks' favor at 6-4. Hile then hit a two-run home run followed by a home run from Kocon. "Somebody got the spark on them and we just kept rolling with it," Kocon said.

A young couple had just been attached to the cable of the Ripcord and was, ever so slowly, inching toward the sun. Within seconds, they were dangling horizontally with almost a full football field's length between them and a small, algae-covered lake below. I clenched the fence railing in front of me tightly as I heard the ride attendant count down with a hint of dramatic flair, "3 . 2 . 1 . . 1 . Fly!." The flyer on the right reached behind him and pulled the ripcord. Instantly, the two became a blur plummeting toward the earth. I turned to my left with a look of awe and disbelief to find that Matt was no longer there. He was in the last place I'd look; in line to sign up for the ride. In the few seconds that I had watched the pair almost plummet to their deaths, Kindra had batted her big brown eyes at Matt and convinced him to do the same. HOW ONE JAYPLAY WRITER OVERCAME HER FEAR OF HEIGHTS AND LEARNED TO JUST ENJOY THE RIDE "Yeah, whatever. I'll do it if you do it." My friend Matt and I squinted up at my most-feared ride at Worlds of Fun: the RipCord, a ride that lifts you up in a harness more than 180 feet above the ground and drops you to free fall towards the earth at 80 miles per hour. I was afraid of heights, so there was no way I was getting on that ride. Two years earlier, I had almost hyperventilated on my first airplane ride to Chicago. And six years before that, the dizziness I had experienced in the nosebleed section of Kemper Arena had almost caused me to miss my favorite concert to date: the Backstreet Boys' Millennium Tour. But Matt was as freaked about heights as I was. I wasn't worried. My mistake. I hadn't considered the one thing that can stomp out cold feet almost 100 percent of the time, and that thing is love. Matt was a bit of a chicken, but he was also madly in love with Kindra, his high school girlfriend. Kindra, for some silly reason, had her heart set on being lifted almost 200 feet off the ground and let go—and she wanted Matt to go with her. I'm sure you can see where this is going. I laughed in denial. No way he'll actually go through with it. He'll chicken out before he puts his name on the sign-up sheet, I thought. But then, I watched the black pen in his hand sweep across the white paper. I chuckled nervously. No worries. Matt and Kindra's appointment wasn't until 12:30 p.m. That was 15 minutes from now. He'd talk himself out of it before then. "12:30," a ride attendant called behind me. I whipped around and saw our little bet turning into a really big problem. I felt what little faith I had left in Matt's phobia slowly draining out of me. I'm in trouble, I thought. And I was right, because before I knew it Matt and Kindra had left our little world on the ground, only to return with disheveled hair splaying every way and ecstatic, adrenaline-charged smiles. I was going to have to do it. My signature wavered ever so slightly as my shaky hands drew my name next to Nathaniel's on the sign-up sheet for the 1:15 ride. Whose name was that? Certainly not mine, I desperately tried to convince myself. Oh, denial. The next 15 minutes dragged on and ended too quickly. I sat in the waiting area, shaky hands clenched between wobbly knees, smiling nervously and glancing at the clock every five seconds as I tried to convince myself I was fearless. Yeah, right. "1:15," the ride attendant hollered. He flashed a reassuring smile at me as he led us into the ride. We stepped into our full-body harnesses and fastened them — not an easy task with quivering hands — and listened as Jake, the ride attendant, explained what would happen next. After we were suited up, we followed him onto the deck. I glanced at the murky water around me and wondered if I'd still have to go if I "accidentally" fell into it. That thought came too late — we had arrived at the loading dock. Jake attached both of our harnesses to the cable and then told us to link arms and fall forward. Then, I felt lurch upwards ever so slightly as the cord began to pull. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God..." Suddenly, I lost control of all speech and I couldn't shut up. Those three words flew out of my mouth over and over again. The people below looked like they could fit in the palm of my hand. I spent the rest of the climb in the quiet darkness of my own eyelids. "Oh my God, are we there yet?" I glanced behind us. Big mistake. We were only about halfway up, and my anxiety turned into full-blown panic. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God..." Then, a miracle occurred. We finally stopped. I heard the same ride attendant from before say, "3, 2, 1...". But before he could even finish his phrase, Nathaniel yanked on the ripcord. I opened my eyes and screamed my loudest as we plunged straight down. After a few agonizing seconds of free fall, the ride caught us, and we soared through the air with our arms spread wide. And that's when I heard a familiar sound: a laugh — my laugh. Yes, I was laughing, with my mouth wide open, and I didn't stop until my jelly legs hit pavement again. That wasn't my last encounter with the RipCord. I've ridden it three more times since then, and I have to say, the last time I did it wasn't any less scary than the first — or any less exhilarating. That first ride taught me something: facing your fears isn't always such a bad thing — it's actually pretty self-liberating and, dare I say, fun. And while skydiving may not be in my near future, I'm not completely ruling it out, either. // JUSTINE PATTON Contributed photo 15 SAVIORSTEER New heights: Justine Patton (right) gets ready to face her fear of heights by going on the RipCord with her boyfriend at the time, Nathaniel Vigil (far left), at Kansas City's Worlds of Fun. 2011 www.kuniteid.org President-elect Gabe Bliss graphic flashed on screen that the room erupted in racous applause and yelling.

Montgomery's homer put the Jayhawks on the board in the second inning and was immediately followed by Ingle's. The runs set the score at 4-2 in the Red Raider's favor. In the sixth inning, freshman Laura Vickers hit a double to center field to plate two runners. Sophomore Alex Jones' slap hit then brought Vickers home after she had advanced to third off a single from freshman Ashley Newman. Sophomore Maggie Hull hit a pop fly to give Newman the opportunity to score, setting the score in Jayhawks' favor at 6-4. Hile then hit a two-run home run followed by a home run from Kocon. "Somebody got the spark on them and we just kept rolling with it," Kocon said. The defense was also strong against the Red Raiders, especially considering that Texas Tech's offense is leading the Big 12. "Julie Jenkins had an unbelievable catch in center field. We moved Alex Jones to pitch and we put Julie in centerfield and she robbed someone, Smith said. I really think that boosted our team." Jones pitched the final three innings of the first game, allowing only one hit. The nightcap was a complete reversal of the first contest. The Jayhawks were run-ruled 10-0 in five innings. Texas Tech pitcher Brittany Talley essentially shut down the offense, throwing four strikeouts and allowing only two hits. 4 "We just never got in a groove," Smith said. "Kristin Martinez threw really well, but we had a bad play that cost us runs. We just never could recover and never could get clicked." The Red Raiders recorded 11 hits in the contest. They scored all ten of their runs in the second, third and fourth innings. Despite the loss, the team is happy with the victory. "We got some breaks and hit the ball and we are really excited about it," Smith said. The Jayhawks are now 1-11 in conference play and 28-15 overall. They will play a home weekend series against No. 15/16 Baylor Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. 1 Edited by Jacque Weber THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 133 KU STUDENT SENATE ELECTION 2011 AFTER FIVE WEEKS OF CAMPAIGNING THE VOTE GOES TO KUNITED MUMMY'S BEEF Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, and Gabe Bliss, a sophomore from Olathe, react to the Student Senate election results Thursday evening at the Yacht Club. Johnson and Bliss won the president and vice-president seats as part of the KUnited coalition. KUnited reigns winning the majority of the senate seats BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com KUnited ensured control of the Student Senate presidency for another year Thursday, finishing strong in an election marked by a relatively strong turnout. A BREAK DOWN OF SENATE Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence in biology and psychology, and Gabe Bliss, a sophomore from Olathe in civil engineering, took 60 percent of the vote. The total number of votes cast was 5,192, with Renew KU's presidential candidate Casey Briner and vice presidential candidate Josh Dean receiving 2,007 student votes for a total of 39 percent. Write-in candidates received 74 votes for a total of one percent. Total voter turnout was 20.9 percent compared with 12 percent in 2010. UNITED JOHNSON-BLISS 2011 www.kunited.org More than 40 people — including candidates, current president Michael Wade Smith and past president Mason Heilman — gathered at the Yacht Club to wait for the results. As KUH went live, Smith yelled for silence from the crowd, but the TV was quiet. It wasn't until a "President-elect Libby Johnson and Vice President-elect Gabe Bliss" graphic flashed on screen that the room erupted in racous applause and yelling. "Our success is undeniable," Johnson said in a speech after the results. "We had a great, great turnout."

Members of the Renew KU coalition campaigned hard, but when the results — that KUited swept the elections, getting the presidential and vice-presidential spots with 60 percent of the vote as well as dominating seats as it has for 16 of the past 17 years — came in, the room of about 40 candidates and supporters was silent. That was until presidential candidate Casey Briner summed up the feeling, echoed by others later, that being the underdog can be fun, but it also can hurt. "We went into this knowing it would be a fight," she said. It was a fight they maybe couldn't win, but they had faith that it was worth the effort. "I don't run because I think I'm going to win," said Brian Gilmore, a senior from Topeka who was elected into a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences seat. "I ran because I believe in this coalition." Briner and vice-presidential candidate Josh Dean said they were proud of their coalition and also of the 20.9 percent voter turnout, almost 10 percent greater than last year. "We did what we wanted to do." Briner said. "We started conversations that wouldn't have happened had we not run." As the night continued, Renew KU members kept up their resolve.

The Public Safety Office report from the incident states that two 20-year-old men from Overland Park were arrested at the scene. Public Safety assessed the damage at $45. Learned, Eaton and Spahr Halls are unlocked at almost all times, said Jill Hummels, director of public relations for the School of Engineering. CRIME "Peeping Tom" shocks showerers BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com Three times this week, a man walked into a women's residence hall restroom, opened a shower curtain and watched a woman shower. Now the police are searching for that man, according to a press release by the KU Public Safety Office. At 7:20 p.m. on Monday, the man walked into a women's restroom in Hashinger Hall and watched women showering. At 7:30 a.m. Wednesday he went into a women's restroom in McCollum Hall and did the same thing. Shortly afterward, at 7:40 a.m., another instance of voyeurism by the same man was reported. The police report said that the man entered the dorms by "tailgating," which could either mean that he followed on students' heels into the building or waited around until someone unlocked the door. Captain Schuyler Bailey said the KU Police are looking at video footage from the residence halls to see if they can find footage of the suspect. "If we do get video of him, it will be released to the public." Bailey said. The KU Public Safety Office is asking for any information available in finding the man. Its phone number is 785-864-5900.

THURSDAY CAMPUS April 21 Forum address issues with parking for students and employees BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com Donna Hultine, director of parking, and Angela Lumpkin, parking commission chair, led a forum for parking issues Tuesday at the Kansas Union answering questions about potential changes to the parking system. side. We're not the enemy." "Communication is the key," Lumpkin said. "Parking is on your KU Dining employees expressed problems with parking during football games when parking at the Kansas Union parking garage is restricted. Morning games and catering events require employees to begin working as early as 3 a.m., sometimes forcing them to park across campus and walk to the Union. Hultine said the chancellor and athletics department had the right to reserve that garage and will probably continue to do so because of the revenue from football and basketball patrons. The forum also addressed concerns about parking at and around scholarship halls. The land-locked location of scholarship halls limits the opportunities for additional parking. Those who could not attend the event were invited to submit then concerns via email for discussion in the forum. A popular write-in request was to avoid an increase in permit costs. The parking commission submitted three proposals to the provost for consideration — one plan increases permit rates.,ticket fines, meter parking and event parking; one does not increase permit costs, but will raise all others; and one does not change current parking fees. "I wish I could report to you about what the provost is going to do." Hultine said. Consumers also addressed concerns about 24-hour parking at the Union garage, a problem Hultine said was caused by overflow parking from the Oread Hotel. The parking garage at the Union used to be free after 7 p.m., but now charges all day. Members of the University Public Safety Office expressed concerns about permit prices for University employees — who have not had a pay raise in three years. "Even a dollar is really going to touch them in the pocket," said Jeremy Hendrickson of KUPSO.

The conference was sponsored by the KU Energy Club and featured three panel discussions with 13 representatives of industry, government and not-for-profit groups, who answered questions on energy policy and technology for more than 60 members of the public in the Hancock Room of the Oread Hotel. They discussed carbon dioxide, transportation and the consequences of change in the energy industry. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little introduced Gov. Sam Brownback, who delivered the opening remarks. Brownback said he was excited by what he described as the rapid growth of wind energy in Kansas. SUPPORTING RENEWABLE ENERGY He described some of the challenges he saw in developing renewable energy resources, such as wind and ethanol. He said that any energy policy needed to balance energy needs, the environment and the economy. Brownback said he wanted to achieve that balance through market action rather than regulation. After one audience member, an oil and gas professional, said he would like to see fewer subsidies for alternative fuels to make the market more fair. Brownback responded that the government was broke and the energy industry might see a drop in subsides even faster than they wanted it. He said he defended subsidies for technologies like wind power and urged students to think about how they could conserve energy. Brownback also said he hoped to see successful research in the harnessing of energy from the methane produced by livestock and the cultivation of certain types of algae. "I want the 'wheat state' to be the 'renewable state," Brownback said. State Representative Tom Sloan, of the 45th District in Douglas County, said the primary difficulty with both technologies was the long distance that energy and material would need to travel in order to reach large population centers. THE POLITICS OF THE BUSINESS "The world is not in a good place right now," he said. John Hofmeister, a former president of Royal Dutch Shell, said the nation had never had an energy policy, and political action would be necessary to make a change. "Nothing happened, and we're nowhere," he said. Hofmeister said he had helped bring a bill to Congress in 2009 that would create a cap and trade program to provide economic incentives for carbon producers to reduce emissions. The bill was altered in the legislature and never passed. Ward Burns, an environmental engineer in the Environmental Protection Agency, said the agency made its best effort to enforce the regulations in place, but was not permitted to lobby for further regulations. "We depend on the legislature to give us the appropriate direction," Burns said. Bill Eastman, director of environmental services at Westar Energy, said his company had to be involved in any discussion of energy policy in the state. Westar is the largest firm in the state and Eastman said it had spent $500 million to reduce emissions. It also has been a sponsor of the Take Charge! Challenge initiative, an effort to rally energy consumers in Lawrence and 15 other communities to conserve energy. Eastman said the state was emitting more than 30 million tons of carbon dioxide each year, despite efforts by Westar to run as efficiently as possible. THE ROLE OF THE PUBLIC Hofmeister said energy policy was influenced by a variety of interested parties, including an industry whose primary obligation was to serve its shareholders. Change would have to come through participatory democracy and an informed citizenry he said. "Until then, we will be the victims," Hofmeister said, "not the horses." The key to protecting the environment and promoting a healthy energy economy was to get the citizenry involved, said Jeff Risley, a University alumnus and executive director of the not-for-profit Climate and Energy Project. He said the Take Charge! Challenge, which was organized in part by the Climate and Energy Project, had already reduced energy use by 7 million kilowatt hours in participating communities, a change that he said would be permanent as consumers change their behavior. THE U SITY OF KA SAS Chris Bronson/KANSAN Gov. Sam Brownback gives a speech at the Energy Conference held at the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave, Thursday morning, Brownback delivered a short message on the importance of energy and its effect on the consumer. After the speech, Brownback allowed a question and answer session. Activities for the Energy Conference continued throughout the day at the Oread Hotel. Risley said he endorsed cap and trade legislation as a way to effective industry-wide changes in energy production and consumption. "If you can put a price on carbon, you're going to reduce emissions," he said. "It's a money issue." — Edited by Caroline Bledowski LEARN MORE: Read more about the Take Chargel Challenge at www.takechargekansas.org TAXES Students look for tax advice both online and on campus BY LAURA THOMAS editor@kansan.com Students whose yearly income requires them to file taxes have several options. Although tax day usually falls on April 15, this year students have until Monday to file their taxes because of a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday. Some get help from organizations like H&R Block or TurboTax "I got my first job this year and my mom made me file my own taxes," said Dylan Fael, a freshman from Hutchinson who used TurboTax. "It was pretty easy and didn't take long." In addition to online resources, organizations through the University of Kansas help students file taxes for free. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, or VITA, is composed of KU law and business students. They prepare returns for Kansas, Missouri or Illinois residents who make less than $49,000 a year. "I think free services like ours are extremely underutilized," VITA coordinator Courtney Sipe said. "We make it easy by filing it all for them so it gets sent to the respective agencies." For students who are not residents in Kansas, Missouri or Illinois, Student Legal Services is another option. The organization has been aiding students with their taxes throughout the past two months. "I don't actually have to because of the amount of money I make," Krista Mitchell, freshman from Overland Park, said. "But it's always nice to get some tax return money so why not?" Some students are not required to file taxes. The requirements vary based on three major factors: age, filing status and type of income. Income tax returns, however, serve as an incentive for some students to do so less as an obligation and more of a way to earn extra cash. For students wondering whether they need to file taxes and how to do so correctly, resources exist both online and through the University. WHEN FILING FOR AN INCOME TAX RETURN: - Include the following student aid as sources of taxable income: federal work-study earnings, student employment earning, scholarships from all sources in excess of tuition, fees and required books. W-2 1040 1040A Include scholarship sources such as University scholarships, federal Pell and SEOG grants and state grants. fax forms: For more coverage of this story, check out KUJH's newscast today at 4 p.m. on channel 31 for Knology subscribers. - Add books to the total only if you have the receipts. - Consider winter and spring of the 2009-2010 academic year, and summer and fall of the 2010-2011 academic year. 1040EZ 1040NR KUJH TICKET SCANDAL Former KU employee sentenced will spend 57 months in prison BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com A federal judge sentenced former associate athletics director for ticket operations Charlotte Blubaugh to 57 months in prison for her role in the cash-for-tickets scheme. She will also be responsible for paying $2.65 million in restitution to KU Athletics and to the Internal Revenue Service. In her guilty plea entered in January, she admitted to working with co-defendants Brendan Simmons, Jason Jeffries, Ben Kirtland, Rodney Dale Jones and Kassie Liebsch to divert $2 million in tickets to sell to third parties for their own financial gain. According to a media release from the federal prosecutors, Blubaugh misled athletics director Lew Perkins "to believe that a computer system was in place to prevent tickets from being stolen, converted or taken by fraud." The co-defendants also misled the NCAA. Edited by Marla Daniels Jones was sentenced to 46 months in prison, Liebsch to 37 months and Simmons and Jeffries to probation. Kirtland's sentencing is set for May 12. Blubaugh's husband, Tom, was sentenced to 46 months after being convicted of being a part of the conspiracy to steal tickets.

We've missed you. Sincerely, Every Male Student. Is there such a thing as a burping disease? If so then the man next to me in the library is in some definite need of some treatment. I've hardly spoken to you and I've already had a dream about you. GET OUT OF MY HEAD WOMAN. The hill between Dole and Stauffer Flint will most likely be the death of me! Next year during elections, I'm going to make a huge profit by selling shirts that say "Already voted, get the hell away from me." DO YOU BOO BOO! Do YOU. My house is bigger than your frat house and it has a way better bar with a margarita machine. To be honest, I want to date you. However, I wouldn't mind getting to know your hotter friend really well, too. Disney and porn have something in common in that they cause unrealistic expectations for women and men respectively. DONKA DOO BALLS! Dear men of the world (douche bags, idiots, and jerks included), MAN THE HELL UP!!!! Love, the annoyed women who put up with your shit. Dear women of the world, don't fall for a guy that has a new girlfriend every few weeks, and then complain when it doesn't last because he is a jerk. Sincerely, all the good people that have put up with your bitching. I accidentally went into the girls bathroom and saw that girls are just as nasty as us guys! Is it just me or do other girls think it's awkward hugging short guys?! The life span of my two fish that I bought today while they were in my care was 36 minutes. That's gotta be some sort of record. RIP Squints and Wendy Peffercorn. I drank last night so I could finally have the balls to ask you out. Totally worth the headache this morning. Does anyone know about how to get to the large hill/rock thing outside Lawrence that you can see on your left driving in on K-10? LOCAL ISSUES Contribute to local economy, buy from Lawrence stores It's no secret that warm weather brings us out of our homes, giving us the long-awaited opportunity to once again explore the streets of Lawrence and meet up with friends around town. Jennifer M. However, as I walked down Massachusetts Street this weekend, as many of you did, I couldn't help but notice the abundance of vacant storefronts. In a town that prides itself on locally owned and operated stores, restaurants and boutiques, the number of businesses filing for bankruptcy or closing is alarming. Within the last year, numerous local businesses closed their doors to the public, including 35-year veteran The Bay Leaf, 717 Massachusetts St. These businesses depend on students and community members alike to keep their bills paid and products available. Even though the Lawrence city council has voted against various BY BRETT CRAWFORD editor@kansan.com proposals for malls and shopping centers throughout the years, big businesses keep finding their way into the Lawrence community. The biggest concern we should have as Lawrence citizens isn't "Where can I get the cheapest stuff?" but "Where will my dollar have the biggest effect?" Maybe you can save a few bucks buying a Jayhawk shirt at Wal-Mart instead of Jayhawk Spirit. But why would you? pockets of corporate giants. If we all consciously bought from local stores and ate at locally-owned restaurants when we decided to go out, we could do a lot of good for our community. Many of us work at local stores and depend on their success as much as the owners do. It's worth it to the community to put those extra couple of bucks back into Lawrence instead of lining the At the same time, I understand that most of us are students, living on a student's budget. It can be difficult to get the things we need and want while remaining financially stable. And although it's true that we're in tough economic times, that doesn't mean we can just abandon our local shops altogether. The biggest problem facing locally-owned businesses is the lack of consistent patrons and support. Maybe if we can't personally afford to support a shop the way wed like to, we can help spread the word by telling our friends and family members to buy local. However, the dwindling support of Lawrence businesses doesn't just affect locally-owned shops. Blockbuster Video on 23rd Street is closing its doors within the month, not to mention the Borders store closing at 700 New Hampshire. Although these places aren't locally owned, the fact that they're experiencing such a lack of business speaks volumes about the current state of being a business owner in Lawrence. And hey, who knows? Maybe economic times will get better, and before we know it, everyone will have more money than they need. But until then it's crucial that in tough economic times like these that we continue to support those whose interest is supporting our city. Crawford is a sophomore in journalism from Olathe.

Tweet us your opinions to @kansanopinion HUMOR For the sake of Darryl Hammond, let's elect The Donald Donald Trump is probably going to run for president. And if he does run for president, he's probably going to win. People will vote for him for one of two reasons: because they had so much fun electing the first black president and now they want to elect the first sentient hairdo (damm it, I was hoping Conan hold this honor someday!) and because people love famous people. Ask my eighth grade classmates who all grunted angrily at me when I said, "Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't qualified to govern California." Do you remember that? When Schwarzenegger ran for governor of California? People are pretty stupid, even Californians. BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL Anyway, back to the national arena. Schwarzenegger was elected governor, that weird wrestler guy was elected governor, I was elected eighth grade treasurer over my future best friend Ronnie Blackburn (I was emo, but she was a nerd. It was a lesser-of-two-evils decision) and Donald Trump will be elected, because he has a sketchy reality-competition show which birthed thatSerpent Omaa and made him nearly able to copyright the phrase Whether it be on the KU campus or abroad, elections always turn out to not be about the important issues at all. I doubt even 80 percent of the students look at each party's ideas before voting. For some people, the choice is made without even looking at the opposition's website. The hardest decision a Greek kid should have to make is what shade of pastel their hat should be — not who would best run the University of Kansas — so, thank God the decision been made for them I sincerely hope this election puts some jammin' jayhawks in power, and I hope whoever is elected actually puts effort into some positive change for the University. But "cautiously optimistic" is my mantra here (and future band name ... I hope), and I know the way these things usually go.

"So, what's wrong with the Trumpmeister, Chance? He's got all those towers and wives," you may say. And I will reply: Nearly everything. First of all, Donald Trump is a total bither, guys. I thought we were over that — y'know when Obama Headquarters presented it to FactCheck.Org (they posted pictures and everything). Second of all, Trump's millionaire was a very inherited one, and although he has had success, he has had some very notable failures. Could he pull America out of its huge debt? He has made it through bankruptcy before, sure, but he's also made some pretty stupid decisions with his money to get to those bankruptics. One of the most recent blemishes on his record includes a $40 million debt to Deutsche Bank who loaned him the money to develop a Trump Tower - Chicago. When they filed a suit against him for the funds, he filed a countersuit claiming the crisis was somehow caused by an "act of God" and that their suit over his unpaid debt damaged his reputation. Yep. More than "The Celebrity Apprentice." Real estate tycoon and television personality Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump attend the 'Dressed To Kill' fashion show to benefit the Friends of Scotland Organization at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 in New York. Either way, if he's elected president, screws up and gets impeached or investigated, expect a counterimpeachment, America, for tarnishing his glitzy rep. At this point, I have one hope to hold onto: Somehow, Darryl Hammond will Bartley Crouch Jr. Donald Trump (eat up that Harry Potter reference, you nerds!) and fix our awful deficit by doing his wide array of impressions in private performances for other world leaders willing to pay admission.

Bliss said he would catch up on homework. After that, the work begins. "Basically, the first step is setting up a comprehensive plan of how we're going to go about making sure every single one of these plans get done," Johnson said. Johnson said she was happy with the turnout, which was almost double from last year. "I attribute that turnout to our candidates," Johnson said. "They know the importance of getting those issues out there, and they know the importance of making sure student voices are heard and because of that they worked so hard" The coalition's message of campus enhancements and increasing student involvement in the governing process appealed to voters. Some campus enhancements included rejuvenation stations, bike rentals and expanded wireless internet. They also aim to create a president's council and place a student on the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. "For almost two decades KUnited has been a group dedicated to making KU great," KUnited's website said. During the campaign, sustainability was a point of contention between the coalitions, with KUnited proposing sustainable restrooms and Renew KU proposing the creation of a sustainability minor. However, KUnited's success has not been without challenges. KUnited was unable to create a Student Services Center this year, which was a major issue for the coalition in last year's election. KUnited was also fined $50 for early chalking.

The contents of the tobacco smoked in a hookah aren't necessarily more harmful than those of a cigarette, but the amount of time spent smoking it is. A typical hookah session lasts 30 minutes to an hour, while one cigarette takes five to ten minutes to smoke. Being exposed to that much smoke results in a higher exposure to nicotine and the other chemicals found in tobacco.

A: 81, against the Toronto Raptors in 2006. -tvguide.com Fiesta Bowl not adequate for BCS MORNING BREW The Fiesta Bowl has long been a deserving participant of the Bowl Championship Series. It was the The Fiesta Bowl has long been a deserving participant of the Bowl Championship Series. It was the scene of many classic college football bowl games, including Penn State's victory over Miami in 1987, Ohio State's double overtime victory over Miami for the national title in 2003, and Boise State's overtime win against Oklahoma in 2007. But with the Fiesta Bowl under scrutiny for making illegal campaign contributions, it's time for it to be removed from the BCS and replaced by the Cotton Bowl. In March, the Fiesta Bowl fired its CEO, John Junker, for eight years of inappropriate political contributions and reimbursements that violated Arizona law and the Fiesta Bowl's privileges as a nonprofit organization. The NCAA suspended five Ohio State Buckeyes, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games of the 2011 season. They were caught selling championship rings, jerseys and awards, and received improper benefits, and coach Jim Tressel was also suspended for attempting to cover it up. The BCS presides over college football's postseason while the NCAA oversees the regular season. For college football to maintain whatever respect it still garners, every aspect of the sport must be held accountable. If the NCAA is serious about holding its athletes accountable, then the BCS GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW When an athlete violates an NCAA rule, he or she incurs a suspension nearly every time. Bowl executives need to be held to the same standard. Letting the Fiesta Bowl remain a part of the BCS rotation does nothing to discourage those in power from misbehaving effectively giving them a free pass. College athletics, especially the BCS, have increasingly alienated fan bases for de-emphasizing the roles and rights of student athletes in favor of the desires of bowl and television executives. If the NCAA and BCS want to reverse that perception, they need to remove the Fiesta Bowl from the BCS rotation. needs to be willing to hold its organizations accountable as well. The most qualified candidate to replace the Fiesta Bowl in the BCS is the Cotton Bowl. Before the Fiesta Bowl rose to prominence two decades ago, the Cotton Bowl was one of the four traditional bowls, along with the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and, the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl. The Cotton Bowl has been played annually since 1937, making it one of the oldest bowl games. It boasts a tradition that the Fiesta Bowl cannot, and most importantly, its CEO hasn't violated any law. Replacing the Fiesta Bowl with the Cotton Bowl makes sense for the BCS and the fans. The BCS would maintain its current structure of staging four bowls plus the national title game, and replacing the Fiesta with the Cotton Bowl would be a lateral, not a downward, move. The fans would get to see a historic bowl that has long been vying to be in the BCS finally included. In addition, the Cotton Bowl is held in Arlington, Texas. The Fiesta Bowl is held in Glendale, Ariz., so the BCS would still have a game in the Southwest.

WWW.KANSAN.COM ONE AND DONE SELBY HEADS TO DRAFT BY TIM DWYER tdwver@kansan.com Although most experts had speculated for days that freshman Josh Selby would not return to the Jayhawks, the announcement was made official Thursday afternoon, when Selby (@joshselby32) tweeted that held be leaving Kansas to enter the NBA draft. "I want to thank all the ku fans who supported me through everything and all the fans who doubting me. I will miss the the fieldhouse," he wrote. "But it's a new journey. Selby T. M. KING in my life now. I will not return to Kansas next year. Making my dream a reality. NBA baby." Selby was the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2010, but he was suspended for the first nine games of the season and had a disappointing freshman campaign plagued by injury and inconsistency. He averaged 8.7 points for the season, but failed to score in double figures once after missing three games in early-to-mid February. "I never coached a kid that went through as much stuff his freshman year as Josh has," coach Bill Self said, "everything from a broken hand to a nine-game suspension to missing 20 practices and a stress reaction in his foot later in the season that limited his movement for the remainder of the season." PAGE 8A Self said reports have been that Selby has played at a very high level during workouts in Las Vegas throughout the last week. "For him to deal with the injury was tough on him but he feels good now and should be 100 percent and back to the explosive guy that he is as he works out for NBA teams." Self said. Experts project Selby as a late first round pick. Edited by Helen Mubarak KANSAS BASEBALL Senior pitcher T.J. Walz fires the ball into home in the first inning Friday. Walz pitched six innings with four runs against him with only one being earned. Team could place in top half Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The baseball team's three-game series against Missouri this weekend will give the Jayhawks an opportunity to finally push their overall record above .500 and place the Jayhawks in the top half of the Big 12 standings. "It's a chance to go on the road and win our fourth Big 12 series out of five to start the year," coach Ritch Price said. "To me it's like the season is on the line." Even though Kansas has the second worst overall record in the conference at 16-17, Missouri is last at 13-20. The Jayhawks' Big 12 record is good for fifth in the conference at 6-6. Winning the series would most likely put them in fourth overall in Big 12 play. However, losing the series could be disastrous to the rest of the Jayhawks' season because they could be buried in the bottom half of the conference standings. "It could be a devastating weekend if we don't take care of business," Price said. Price said the key for the Jayhawks would be how their pitching staff performs because most of Missouri's losses have come from low-scoring games. Senior pitcher T.J. Walz will start for Kansas on Friday at 6 p.m. Walz has been on a tear since he corrected a leaning issue in his windup earlier in the season. In his last five starts, Walz has an ERA of 2.31 with 43 strikeouts in 35 innings pitched. Walz will be facing a Missouri lineup that has been struggling all year. The Tigers average 4.5 runs a game off a batting average of .257. The Tigers' senior outfielder Jonah Schmidt leads Missouri at the plate with four home runs, 19 RBIs, and a .314 batting average. "You've got to treat them like you're throwing against Oklahoma or one of the top hitting teams in the conference," Walz said. "We'll try to pitch to contact like we would with any other team." Missouri leads the Big 12 in stolen bases with 66 and stolen base attempts with 92. "We can't afford to walk anybody. The one thing they have is good team speed." Price said. "We've got to make them swing the bat by pitching to contact." Saturday's starter for Kansas will be sophomore pitcher Tanner Poppe, who has a 3.20 record on the year for Kansas. Closing out the series on the mound for Kansas will be freshman starter Alex Cox. Cox is 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA for the Jayhawks. The pitching staff has been consistent all year, which has helped with the layhawks' success in the Big 12 conference season. last nine games. In April, the layhawks are hitting .292 with 16 doubles, 8 home runs, and 52 scored runs. In the season's first 24 games, Kansas had a modest slugging percentage of .308, compared with .430 in their "The last couple of weeks we've made really good improvement laying off the ball outside of the zone." Price said. "We need to continue to get the ball elevated and take the fastball away." Price said he had very little concern about getting the guys fired up to play. "This is one of those games as a head coach you don't have a sim- gle word about," Price said. "They know it's rivalry week and they're looking forward to the challenge." Edited by San;antha Collins SOFTBALL Special series gives team extra momentum 4 Left feiler Maggie Hull throws a ball back into the infield after an OSU ball sneaks past the foul line Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. Hull hit a double in the sixth inning, which broke OSU's no hitter, and made her tied for the eighth most doubles in a single season with 13. Chris Neal/KANSAN BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com For Saturday's Military Day, the players will wear camouflage warm-ups before they take the field. Thanks to the encouragement of senior pitcher Allie Clark, the team has adopted a military unit through HeroBox, an organization that provides American service members with resources and moral support. At Sunday's Pink in the Park game, fans are encouraged to wear pink. All donations support Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the KU Cancer Center. Breast cancer survivor Carrie Rangel, who was diagnosed at the age of 31, will toss the first pitch. This weekend's series against Baylor holds special significance for the softball team, which is hosting a Military Day on Saturday to accept donations for those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a Pink in the Park game on Sunday to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. "This weekend is huge," junior outfielder Liz Kocon said. "We have Clarkie's Military Day and the Pink Game. It is going to be a really fun series this weekend and we are just so excited that we have this momentum going into it." 24 The team is hoping for a second conference win in its home series. Baylor is ranked No. 15 nationally and fourth in the Big 12 with a 5-3 conference record. The Kansas offense will focus on fundamentals, such as adjusting to pitching style. In an extremely productive inning in the game against Texas Tech, the offensive players scored seven runs off five hits after a three-run deficit. "They are going to be one of the toughest Big 12 teams we have played all year," coach Megan Smith said. The Baylor pitching staff is ranked third in the conference with a 1.56 ERA. Sophomore Whitney Canion leads the team. She has a 17-5 pitching record and has struck out 189 batters on the season. "I am just so glad that the whole team came together and was able to fight back after we were down," freshman infielder Laura Vickers said. Despite the victory, the Jayhawks suffered a run-rule loss in the second game against Texas Tech. "They just kept hitting and we didn't make the plays that we needed to make in certain situations," Kocon said. "We are going to take it just like we have taken all of the other games," Smith said. "We are going to fight. We are going to work hard and that is all we can really do." The players plan to focus on maintaining their mental intensity for the entire weekend. Saturday's game begins at 2 1 MILITARY DAY Fans are welcome to donate the following items to the men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan that the softball team is sponsoring.

Both will be played in Arrocha Ballpark. Twitter is not a good way to say goodbye BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansnball It shouldn't come as a surprise that Josh Selby is taking his talents to the NBA draft. It was somewhat expected after he skipped out on the team's banquet on Monday and then returned to Baltimore instead of Lawrence after finishing workouts in Las Vegas. I'm not disappointed in Selby leaving. What I am disappointed in is how he left in a similar manner as Marcus and Markieff Morris. Selby announced his decision via Twitter, tweeting, "I want to thank all the ku fans who supported me through everything and all the fans who doubting me. I will miss the fieldhouse. #KU." The Morris twins announced their decision by a news release that wasn't sent out by Kansas Athletics, but by their new agent, Tony Dutt of Rival Sports Group. I had no idea who Dutt was until the Morris twins hired him. He represents Orlando's Rashard Lewis, Denver's Raymond Felton and Portland's Marcus Camby, but nobody who jumps up and screams "superstar." His one notable client was Shawn Kemp, a prominent player for the Seattle Super Sonics in the '90s. If it were me, I would have had all three at the podium at Allen Fieldhouse taking questions from the media and speaking personally and formally, instead of from behind a computer screen or an unknown agent. The three should have announced their departures like Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry did last year; with a press conference. Marcus said in a news release, "It was a difficult decision, but I feel it's the right time for me to realize my dream to play in the National Basketball Association." Markieff said, "Playing here has prepared me for the opportunity to have a successful career in the NBA." The Morris twins made the right decision, in my opinion. I think they have reached their ceiling and need to move on. Coach Danny Manning did an excellent job with them during their three years, but Markieff could have possibly gone to the next level like Marcus did this year. But in a year that has the looks of being a weak draft, it made all the more sense to go despite the potential for a lockout. Don't those sound awfully similar? And sure, the words from Selby are his, but where's the emotion? We don't know if these players are crying, as they will never suit up again for the Jayhawks. Going to Kansas for one year was probably the plan for Selby, using the program as a stepping stone since the NBA requires players to be a year removed from high school. I think Selby is making a mistake, but what do I know? I think he could improve if he stayed one more year, but he didn't do anything this season. Selby didn't fit into Self's system. Selby likes to drive the ball, but we didn't see much of that when he had the ball in his hands. Thomas Robinson could have gone, but I think one more year with Manning will make him even more dominant. The money will be there next year and there might be even more than what was projected I wish the best of luck to Setby and hope he makes it. Edited by Sarah Gregor THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 18,2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 134 WITHHELD WAGES Papa Keno's ordered to pay BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com Matt Gosselin's new career at Papa Keno's Pizzeria was supposed to be an easy transition. After two years as a general manager at Nick-N-Willy's Pizza in Kansas City, Kan., the owners decided to sell the restaurant. As a result, Gosselin was going to lose his job. So in February of 2010, Gosselin applied at Papa Keno's, 1035 Massachusetts St., and he was hired. It was a nearly identical job-a general manager making the same $28,000 salary. The transition was anything but easy, according to Gosselin. Although he worked as a Papa Keno's general manager for a month, he said he was never paid despite being owed $2,200. After asking Papa Keno's owner Gregory Keanan for his money several times, he said he filed a complaint with the Kansas Department of Labor. According to Kansas Department of Labor records, Gosselin is not alone. Since 2008, 25 people have filed wage claim complaints with the Kansas Department of Labor against Papa Keno's and its owner. Of those 25 cases, the KDOL ordered Papa Keno's to pay 14 people and dismissed nine. Two more cases are pending. Of the 14 cases ruled against Papa Keno's, the restaurant has payed eight. In a University Daily Kansan random search of 12 Lawrence restaurants, three had wage claims filed against them since 2008, but none had more than Papa Keno's. KDOL received one claim against Yokohama Sushi in March 2008, one claim against Jefferson's Restaurant in March 2011 and four against Gumby's Pizza, which is no longer open. The other nine restaurants did not have any complaints. In 2010, 1,079 claim for wage complaints were filed with the KDOL against Kansas businesses. The complaints are available under the Kansas Open Records Act. During two phone conversations and a personal meeting, Keenan declined to comment for this story.

Travis Young/KANSAN FUNDRAISING Relay brings tears of gratitude, remembrance Relay For Life RELAY FOR LIFE of KU BY ISAAC GWIN editor@kansan.com Students raised more than $36,000 for cancer research in the Relay for Life this weekend. "This has been a really great year for KU's Relay For Life," said Carolyn Haller, relay event chairwoman and senior from Alma. "We have 73 fundraising teams total, which is awesome because we had 70 last year and only 40 the year before that.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the cancer survivors walked a lap with someone who helped them through life with cancer. a freshman from Wichita. raised a little over $36,000 as of tonight, and with more money still coming in I really think we're going to meet our goal of $40,000." Cancer survivorsbegan the 12-hour-long The caregivers, individuals who gave selflessly to supported those struggling with cancer, then joined the survivors in the march. Finally, the rest of the participants united in the walk, which continued until "It was predicted that I would get really emotional," Holmes said as tears began to well in the corners of her eyes. "I started to walk and I didn't know what to think at first, but then I started to think about how fortunate I am to be here and to be alive. I just started crying, and cried all the way around the track. I'm so thankful for my team and how supportive they have been and for the people who put on the relay. I'm really glad I did this." "I started to think about how fortunate I am to be here and to be alive. I just started crying." 7 a.m. COURTNEY HOLMES freshman from Wichita relay by taking the first lap around the elevated track in the recreation center, a symbolic gesture of victory against cancer.

Participants purchased white paper bags and bag contained a candle that illuminated the path.

At the end of the observance, the DJ restarted the music, rekindle the lighthearted fun of the evening through to the morning.

SUNDAY April 24 Foul-smelling flower to bloom in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio — Spring is in the air, and that means an unpleasant smell for one greenhouse at Ohio State University. An 8-foot-tall rain forest plant that's known as a "corpse flower," because it smells like rotting flesh, is getting ready to bloom. The Columbus Dispatch reports greenhouse coordinator Joan Leonard has been growing the flowers since 2001, and this would be the first of five to bloom. Leonard says smelling the Amorphophallus titanium for the first time will be the culmination of a decade of work. But it will be a quick experience because the flower withers after a day or two. Associated Press ON THE RECORD Lobster shells revived as tiles and trivets On April 16, an individual was arrested for breaking a window on a door and entering a locked building, causing $300 in damage. On April 16, an individual was arrested in Ellsworth Hall for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia with intent to sell. ASSOCIATED PRESS The shells from Maine's signature seafood are being used to manufacture decorative tiles, trivets and drinking-glass coasters. Work is under way to use them in countertops and tabletops. And at the University of Maine, a professor has developed prototypes of biodegradable golf balls and plant pots made out of ground-up lobster shells. "Instead of dumping the shells at landfills, the idea is to add value to the product, which hopefully will funnel back into the industry," said David Neivandt, a professor of chemical and biological engineering who created a biodegradable golf ball with a core made of lobster shells. Neivandt and one of his Lobster processors dispose of tons of lobster shells that are left over after the meat is removed. Industry leaders have long wondered if there might be a way to make money from the part thrown away. students, Alex Caddell, together developed a golf ball using ground-up lobster shells mixed with a glue-like substance for its core. The shell is also made out of naturally derived biodegradable material, but they aren't giving specifics because they don't want to give away any secrets. The ball is the same size and weight as a standard golf ball but is intended for use on cruise ships or at driving ranges that are on lakes or the ocean. Dumping golf balls into the sea is prohibited under international convention because they are made of plastic and don't break down, but the lobster golf ball is biodegradable and disintegrates in the water in about three weeks. Caddell, who played golf in high school, said he and Neivandt tested numerous balls that cracked, didn't fly quite right or otherwise didn't make the cut. Finally, they came upon just the right mixture that makes the ball hit nearly like the real thing. "The first time I hit it, I was surprised it didn't shatter into a million pieces," Caddell said. "And it flew straight. I usually have a pretty bad slice, so to hit it straight was amazing." With an iron, the ball flies nearly the same distance as a standard ball. With a driver, it'll go 60 to 70 percent of the distance. There are other biodegradable golf balls on the market, which sell for about $1 each, Neivandt said. The raw materials for the lobster golf ball cost about 19 cents per ball, which could make it competitive in the open market. The university has filed a provisional patent for the lobster-shell mixture. Neivandt said a private company could buy the licensing rights and market the ball, or the school could spin off a company that would produce it. While developing the golf ball, they also came up with a plant pot made out of lobster shell mixture — which has a high calcium content beneficial to flowers and vegetables — to place directly in the ground with flowers or vegetable plants. Turning seafood waste products — such as lobster or clam shells — into products with commercial value would benefit the seafood industry, said Bob Bayer, head of The Lobster Institute Research and Education organization at the University of Maine. Most lobster shells are dumped in the garbage or at landfills, Bayer said, with some of it going toward seafood compost used for gardens or turned into lobster meal, which is an animal feed additive. There have been failed efforts to turn the shells into other marketable products — such as lobster bait — over the years, so Bayer is pleased to see new products come on line. "The whole idea is to add value to our lobster," he said. "The more value we can extract, the more fishermen will be paid and more jobs will be created." EcoSeaTile LLC, a small company based in Mount Desert, has been making tiles of reclaimed lobster, mussel, clam, oyster and scallop shells for use in homes and businesses, for the past year, selling at dozens of high-end tile shops in New England and New York. It recently added a line of drinking-glass coasters that are sold at gift shops. Owner Mickey Shattow said the tiles seem to be most popular among customers who live on or near the ocean. "This probably won't be a big hit in Chicago, but I can see it being a hit up and down the coast," he said. "But the coaster might be a hit universally." Aron Butterbaugh is making trivets in the shape of lobster claws, made of lobster shells and recycled glass, among the products at Beachstone, Inc., a company he runs out of South Portland. He's also working on developing vanities, bathroom countertops, tile accessories and tabletops for patio furniture, coffee tables for the home and restaurant dining room tables that use shells from mussels, clams, oysters, scallops and lobsters in combination with recycled glass, he said. "They're plentiful. They're a waste product. They're decorative," he said. "It's a win-win-win strategy in my opinion." endless summer tan SOME THINGS GO OUT OF STYLE endless summer tan Closest tanning to campus that takes Beak 'em Bucks DESIGNER SKIN Tanning 23rd & Louisiana 785-331-0900 FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK TAN IS ALWAYS IN LE Closest tanning to campus that takes Beak 'em Bucks DESIGNER SKIN Tanning 23rd & Louisiana 785-331-0900 FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK JUST LISTEN TO ME!

In 1971, three undergraduate students established SCoRMEBE, the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating, and Educating Black Engineers, and jump-started a program that has supported minority and women engineering students for four decades. "They say that when you turn 40 everything goes downhill from there, but I know that we are just starting to rise to greatness with diversity engineering programs here at KU," said Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering. Strrauder Patton, a representative of The National Society of Black Engineers, congratulates the KU School of Engineering on its 40th anniversary of the minority engineering programs. Patton graduated twice from KU with a bachelor's and master's degree in Civil Engineering. One of the diversity programs, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, provides members with leadership training, networking opportunities, and access to internships and scholarships. It was introduced to the University in the early '90s, and caters to students from all over the world. "It's diverse in itself. It's Hispanic, but Hispanics from all over the world. I'm actually the only U.S. resident in the group," Natalia Inocencio, freshman from Thorndale, Texas said. "It's pretty cool to get to know all of them." Alumni attended the celebration to share stories about their participation in the minority engineering programs, and pass along words of advice to current students. "We know the numbers, they aren't that great. But know that you do have a place as a female engineer. Prepare now, build your confidence now, don't let the numbers intimidate you," said Jamie Hines, 2009 electrical engineering graduate. Florence Boldridge, the director of Diversity and Women's programs for the School of Engineering, received thanks from the students and alumni who spoke at the event. "Diversity programs today would not be what they are without Mrs. Boldridge. She never turns away a student. I know that I could call Mrs. Boldridge anytime, day or night, and she would help me," said Kate Courtney, president of the Society of Women Engineers. After Boldridge spoke about her 27 years of working for the minority engineering programs, thanked everyone for their work, and reminisced about her students and their stories, former engineering student James Patterson took the stage. While in school, Patterson was president of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. He graduated in 2001 with a degree in chemical engineering, and now works for Intel Corporation. At the celebration, Patterson unveiled the new Florence E. Boldridge Scholarship for which he had worked to gain funds. Boldridge. This is a small way to say thank you for all the support she gave me and continues to give. Thanks to you, all these students will achieve their goals and go on with their lives," Patterson said.

WAGES (CONTINUED FROM 1A) SUSPICIONS GROW Despite being responsible for both the Lawrence and Overland Park Papa Keno's, Gosselin said he thought it was unusual he received little training. He also received some odd phone calls early on. "I was fielding phone calls for a bunch of people who never got paid, and they were looking for their paychecks," Gosselin said. Gosselin said his suspicion grew when his first payday arrived and he did not receive a check. Still, he kept faith that he would be compensated. According to KDOL documents, 24 others had similar experiences while working at Papa Keno's. The complaints included late payments, bounced checks and checks that were short money or paid the wrong hourly wage. Nate Joyes, a former cook at Papa Keno's, filed a complaint with the KDOL that said he and Keenan verbally agreed to $10 an hour, but when his check arrived, he was shorted 10 hours and was paid at $7.25 per hour. He said Papa Keno's system of documenting work hours was not reliable. "You don't clock in or anything; you just write your hours on a piece of paper," joyes said. Joyes completed a W2 form and worked at Papa Keno's for one week. The KDOL ruled Papa Keno's owed him $116, and the restaurant paid him in October 2010. NO PAYMENT Despite not receiving his first paycheck, Gosselin continued working at Papa Keno's about 40 to 55 hours per week. He also drove the 35 miles between the Lawrence and Overland Park locations several times a week but said he did not receive mileage compensation. Gosselin, who was a full-time student at the University of Kansas, said the heavy workload interfered with school, and he dropped out of the University. At the end of Gosselin's second pay period, he said that he and Keenan had a falling out and that he was fired. "My total bills were $800 to $900 a month, and I just didn't get paid at all," he said. "I had zero income." Gosselin, 24, had to borrow money from his grandmother and max out his credit card to cover his bills. Despite Gosselin's multiple attempts to receive his money, he said Papa Keno's refused to pay him. Months went by. Bills arrived, but Gosselin's check never did. Seven months later, Gosselin filed a claim for wage with the KDOL in May 2010. Although he didn't have a written employment contract or proof of his hours, he had witnesses. People saw him in the store. People saw him give Keenan his paper work after being fired. Other former employees had mixed results through KDOL claims. Sophia Gundelfinger, a former Papa Keno's employee, said she was owed more than $1,800. The KDOL ruled that Gundelfinger should receive $1,802.77, but she said Papa Keno's has only issued two $58 checks. At the KDOL hearing in October, there was no representative from Papa Keno's. The KDOL ruled that Keenan would have to pay double the original $2,333.33 under a law that fines employers 100 percent of withheld wages. At this time, the total amounts to $4,763.91, which includes 1 percent compounded interest for every day Papa Keno's fails to pay. Gosselin said the interest continues to build. Others, such as Lorus Byers, filed a KDOL $232 complaint against Papa Keno', but he gave up the case when, in response to the complaint. Keenan accused Byers of faking a time card. "If it was a larger sum of money I would have probably consulted an attorney but it wasn't even worth it," said Byers. In late 2009, Papa Keno's started paying people back. According to KDOL records, the business has paid eight employees that were ordered compensation. The total amount paid in these seven cases is $2,387.46. RECOVERING PAY Although the KDOL order is official, it lacks enforcement. In cases such as Gosselin's, employees can only hope that the compounding daily interest motivates their employer to pay. Cases can eventually be directed to county district courts where they can be legally enforced. Gundelfinger's case is such an example. After Keenan failed to pay Gundelfinger, the KDOL forwarded the case to a Shawnee County District Court, and a judge ordered Papa Keno's to pay Gundelfinger. According to the Kansas Wage Payment Act, court orders can be enforced by the sheriff by seizing the money and assets of the violator. Gosselin's case has yet to reach court. Now, he is in the process of starting a new career in Denver. Although he said he has never paid by Papa Keno's he did learn a few valuable lessons. "Keep track of your hours, keep track of what you're supposed to get paid," he said. "Add it all up, take about 15 percent out (for taxes), and that's what you're supposed to get."

Prosecutors in Manhattan said they've issued restraining orders against more than 75 bank accounts used by the poker companies, interrupting the illegal flow of billions of dollars. U. S. Attorney Preet Bharara said the defendants "concocted an elaborate criminal fraud scheme, alternately tricking some U.S. banks and effectively bribing others to assure the continued flow of billions in illegal gambling profits" The companies were identified as PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker. The indictment sought $3 billion in money laundering penalties and forfeiture from the defendants. Authorities said Absolute The indictment said the companies ran afoul of the law after the U.S. enacted the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in October 2006, which makes it a crime for gambling businesses to knowingly accept most forms of payment in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. Poker responded by saying in a release after the new law was enacted that it would continue its U.S. operations because "the U.S. Congress has no control over" the company's payment transactions. Prosecutors said about a third or more of the billions of dollars in payment transactions that the poker companies tricked U.S. banks into processing went directly to the poker companies as revenue. Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said the allegations made by federal prosecutors against the three companies were of "grave concern." But he added that he remained committed to the possibility that federal law would eventually permit Internet gambling in a way that matches the same rigorous standards that apply to traditional gaming institutions.

We would also like to see more cooperation within Senate, regardless of coalitions or alliances. It is important to remember that everyone involved in the election ran with the same goal in KUnited shouldn't penalize members of the opposition for the happenings of campaign season. If anything, the members of Renew KU should also be congratulated. The election saw an increase in voter turnout, a testament to the strong platforms offered by both KUnited and Renew KU. Together, both coalitions were able to double the voter turnout; both groups got students talking about campus issues. With cooperation between coalitions, the Editorial Board believes Senate is capable of achieving many great things for the University. ed senators shouldn't wait until next fall to make positive changes. One way for the new Senate to show its commitment to student outreach would be to upload this year's minutes and bills online. The Editorial Board challenges Senate to have its website updated by the end of the semester. By considering and incorporating some of Renew KU's platforms into its own, United would demonstrate maturity and dedication to placing students' interests above politics. For example, Renew KU's proposal to simplify funding codes for student groups would help eliminate unnecessary red tape that encumbers students from getting involved in campus politics and activities. Renew KU also campaigned with promises of a stronger commitment to international and graduate students, something KUnited should strive for as well. We expect KUnited to follow through with their promises regarding increased transparency. Reorganizing the Student Senate website should be the first step. Posting the minutes of each Senate meeting in a reasonable amount of time and keeping records current would be the second Most importantly, senators need to keep talking to students throughout the year. They shouldn't lose touch with them simply because election season is over. Maintain an honest and open discussion with the student body remains a crucial aspect of any student government, regardless of the time of year.

I'm not talking about when the whistle blows. I'm talking about service learning. Service learning projects allow us to participate in real life organizations related to our field of study. Service learning is extremely effective because it provides a multi-sensory context for internalizing new concepts. You don't just read it; you smell it, see it, feel it, talk it, walk it and do it! By engaging multiple senses and cognitive functions, experiential learning provides rich and vivid memories that anchor new material. It also allows us to try out our chosen field before we invest five years and thousands of dollars. In addition to figuring out if you're actually going to like your future job, service learning allows you to observe the most important skills involved and focus on developing the those skills. Maria González It also allows you to network with relevant professionals who could become career mentors and references for your job search. Additionally, service learning introduces you to causes that you might care about for the rest of your life. Even if you decide not to become a teacher, you might fall in love with tutoring kids after school. This could lead to a volunteer position that fulfills you and impacts hundreds of students in your community. Service learning allows us to connect with non-profit organizations, small businesses and local politics to experience the satisfaction of sharing our talents with our community. This community involvement is another huge benefit of service learning. Through programs that provide valuable learning opportunities for its students, the University can also contribute hundreds of high quality service hours to the Lawrence community. This improves our home and reinforces the University's commitment to the community. It also shows prospective students, staff, faculty and financial donors that KU is a compassionate, intelligent and devoted member of its hometown. BY RAEANE HANDSHY rhandshy@kansan.com The most important benefit of service learning is that the experience doesn't just teach us about the subject matter, it teaches us about ourselves. Through personal interaction, we realize that our educational goals are really about relating to other people. What we are learning in school is valuable because we are going to use it to teach kids, or treat patients, or hire employees. How we relate to those people is just as important as the knowledge we share with them. We should be practicing how to use our knowledge. It's silly to store it away and hope that we can remember it five years down the road when it's time to "apply" what we've learned. We need to learn how to break the rules of the classroom and make new rules to provide meaningful work, efficient housing and affordable education for everyone. The concepts we learn in books are the starting point but mastering human interaction and hands on experimentation are the test. Will we have the creativity, courage and compassion to ace it? To make sure, I think we need to practice. The problems we will tackle do not have solutions found in books or scholarly journals. Our generation's problems are going to demand creative collaboration and out-of-the-box innovation. Handshy is a first-year MBA student from Lawrence.

If you've tried all of these modes and none seems appropriate for your lifestyle, may I suggest simply walking? I do. Piggyback rides were invented decades ago during the great gasoline shortage of 1986 and their usefulness remains decades later. No props needed, but I recommend a minimum of two participants because hunching over and walking slowly is distasteful (exclusion: vomit-strolling, another respectable mode in itself). For the sake of interhuman relationships, you must reciprocate the piggyback ride. Stephens is a junior from Dodge City studying English. DOMESTIC OIL & NATURAL GAS ARE CLEANER...

The KU Public Safety Office hires 12 students to keep an eye on more than 200 security cameras. If students ever feel like someone is watching them while they are walking around campus, they may be right. Twelve students hired by the KU Public Safety Office are the eyes and ears for KU police officers every night. With more than 200 cameras scattered throughout the campus, they have seen some crazy things. 图 Ryan Black, a sophomore from Emporia, has monitored the cameras for a year and a half. He said sometimes he's surprised by what he sees, like a situation where he was watching a man on campus who didn't look suspicious at first. "It didn't look like anything suspicious going on," Black said. "The guy just randomly picked up a bike and threw it at a yellow Mustang." Black also said that the cameras would sometimes catch people smoking marijuana or even starting fires outside of the residence halls. In order to secure the entire campus, KU Public Safety has access to view other departments' cameras, like the ones belonging to the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, even though they don't own those cameras. Before being able to monitor the cameras, students have to turn in applications, pass a criminal history check, learn how to operate the system and go through training on what to look for. They are trained to recognize suspicious situations and how they differ from regular situations, KU Police Captain Schuyler Bailey said. CAMERA CAPABILITIES For those living in the residence halls, there's no need to worry about the cameras peeking into their rooms. When a person operating the cameras zooms in toward the windows of any of the residence halls, solid gray blocks appears over the window, which prevents the camera operator from seeing inside. Touch screen monitors also help the operators keep an eye on the campus by allowing them to see 13 different cameras at once. The operator has a map of the Lawrence campus on one screen, and just by touching an area of the map and dragging it to the next screen, he or she can pull up the camera that is positioned in that area. Jamry Jones, a senior from Atlanta and the student security supervisor for KU Public Safety, said the cameras couldn't be any better. He said that inside Allen Fieldhouse, they can even see the jalapeños in nachos. "In the Fieldhouse, the cameras are so good." Jones said. "We can see everything. I can see the hair on your head and where you are looking with your eyes." BEYOND BIG BROTHER The security cameras are not used just for watching suspicious-looking people. They are used for many different things, especially during sports events. Ticket scalpers at football and basketball games are supposed to stay off University grounds. Cameras set up across from the Fieldhouse and all around Memorial Stadium keep an eye on ticket scalpers to be sure they follow the rules. The cameras also help with traffic flow after sports events by allowing the camera operator to see when traffic is increasing and when it's going back to normal. When traffic gets heavy, the operators will see this and have the traffic police get into positions to help smooth out the traffic flow. Then, once traffic slows back down, the camera operators will call the traffic units back in and allow the streets to return to normal.

If Gov. Jan Brewer signs the proposal into law, Arizona would be the first state to pass such a requirement — potentially forcing a court to decide whether the president's birth certificate is enough to prove he can legally run for re-election. Hawaii officials have certified Obama was born in that state, but so-called "birthers" have demanded more proof. "Mr. Obama drew the question out, but it's not about him," Seel said, noting his bill would also require statewide candidates to complete an affidavit showing they meet the qualifications for those offices, which include U.S. citizenship. "Arizona is in the midst of a fiscal crisis. We've cut school funding. And they pass a bill questioning Obama's citizenship? For real?" said Democratic Sen. Kyristen Sinema of Phoenix, an opponent of the bill. Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama's citizenship, and his Hawaiian birth certificate, has been made public. Even though the courts have rebuffed lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, the issue hasn't gone away. Republican Rep. Carl Seel of Phoenix, the bill's author, said the president's birth record wouldn't satisfy the requirements of his proposal and that Obama would have to provide other records, such as baptismal certificates and hospital records. But Seel said the measure wasn't intended as a swipe against the president and instead was meant to maintain the integrity of elections. Opponents say Arizona's bill gives the state another black eye after lawmakers approved a controversial immigration enforcement law last year, considered legislation asserting state rights, and made it illegal to create "human-animal" hybrids by fertilizing human eggs with nonhuman sperm and vice versa. Whether Arizona's measure would be found constitutional is an open question, legal scholars say. Birthers have maintained since the last presidential election that Obama is ineligible to hold the nation's highest elected office because, they argue, he was actually born in Kenya, his father's homeland. Obama's mother was an American citizen. No one knows for sure what the term means, said Gabriel J. Chin, a University of Arizona law professor who is an expert in citizenship and immigration law. "Natural-born citizen" was modeled after a phrase used in British law, and the U.S. Supreme Court has never defined it, he said. The governor, who has until the end of business Thursday to act on the proposal, declined to say whether she would sign the measure. "That bill is an interesting piece of legislation. I certainly have not given it a whole lot of thought with everything that's been on my plate," said Brewer, a social conservative who has vetoed four bills and signed more than 100 others since the legislative session began in January. The U.S. Constitution requires that presidential candidates be "natural-born" citizens, be at least 35 years old, and be a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. But the term "natural-born citizen" is open to interpretation — and many bloggers, politicians and others have weighed in.

Tornado sirens are one of the most important ways that the Douglas County department of emergency management communicates with the community when there is dangerous weather. According to John Marmon, emergency management coordinator for the University of Kansas, it is important to seek shelter once a tornado siren goes off. He said that if there were no buildings in the area, then people should seek low ground such as a ditch and protect the neck and head. Capt. Schuyler Bailey from the KU Public Safety Office said that a tornado siren only goes off when a funnel has been spotted. Bailey said that the most dangerous thing a student could do was to run outside when a tornado siren goes off and search for a tornado. "That's the absolute worst thing that they could do," Bailey said. "Take the sirens seriously and take shelter," said Bailey. tant to stay aware of what the weather was doing.

Before you start your day be prepared and take a look at what's going on weather-wise and plan accordingly," Marmon said.

Rival Mitt Romney did it with a tweet. President Barack Obama kicked off his re-election bid with a digital video emailed to the 13 million online backers who helped power his historic campaign in 2008. Welcome to The Social Network, presidential campaign edition. The candidates and contenders have embraced the Internet to far greater degrees than previous White House campaigns, communicating directly with voters on platforms where they work and play. If Obama's online army helped define the last campaign and Howard Dean's Internet fundraising revolutionized the Democratic primary in 2004, next year's race will be the first to reflect the broad cultural migration to the digital world. "You have to take your message to the places where people are consuming content and spending their time," said Romney's online director, Zac Moffatt. "We have to recognize that people have choices and you have to reach them where they are, and on their terms." The most influential of those destinations include the video sharing website YouTube; Facebook, the giant social network with 500 million active users; and Twitter, the cacophonous conversational site where news is made and shared in tweets of 140 characters or less. Facebook presence, using the site to post videos and messages and to host online discussions. In the latest indication of the site's reach and influence, Obama plans to visit Facebook headquarters in California this coming Wednesday for a live chat with company founder Mark Zuckerberg and to take questions from users who submit questions on the site. Candidates have embraced Twitter with an intensity that rivals pop star Justin Bieber's. Twitter was the Republican hopefuls' platform of choice last Wednesday, moments after Obama gave a budget speech calling for some tax increases and decrying GOP proposals to cut Medicare. "President Obama doesn't get it. The fear of higher taxes tomorrow hurts job creation today," Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour tweeted. All the campaigns have a robust "The president's plan will kill jobs and increase the deficit," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned in a tweet, attaching a link to a more detailed statement posted on Facebook. In the past, candidates would have pointed supporters to their websites for such a response. Now, as Moffatt puts it, "the campaign site may be headquarters, but it needs digital embassies across the web." Republicans once seemed slow to harness the power of the web. The party's 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, told reporters he didn't even use email. The 2012 hopefuls have worked hard to prove their Internet savvy, particularly with social media. Pawlenty "understands the power of new technology and he wants it to be at the forefront. We are going to compete aggressively with President Obama in this space," spokesman Alex Conant said. Conant pointed to efforts to live stream videos to Facebook and award points and badges to supporters in a way that mirrors Foursquare, the emerging location-based mobile site. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's 2008 running mate and a potential presidential candidate this time, has made Facebook a centerpiece of her communication efforts to supporters. Palin has been criticized for treating it as a one-way form of communication that allows her to bypass direct questions from reporters and voters. Other Republicans insist they're willing to wade into the messy digital fray and cede some control of their message. "We trust our supporters and want to err on the side of giving them more control, not less," Conant said. lion Just as social networking liberates candidates to take their message directly to voters, it offers plenty of pitfalls as well. It's prone to mischief, with dozens of fake Twitter accounts and Facebook pages popping up daily that are intended to embarrass the candidates. Also, a candidate's gaffe or an inconsistency on issues can be counted on to go viral immediately. Gingrich has gotten ensnared in some online traps. His apparent back-and-forth on whether the U.S. should intervene in the conflict in Libya was discussed widely and amplified online. He first advocated military engagement, then came out against it after Obama ordered airstrikes.

Pineda, a 22-year-old with a 99 mph fastball, held Kansas City to one run and three hits over six innings. Brendan Ryan had a tiebreaking two-run single and the Mariners beat the Royals 3-2 Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak. Jamey Wright pitched two hitless innings, while walking two. Brandon League gave up a run in the ninth on Wilson Betemit's single, but finished for his third save. Pineda (2-1) has a 2.33 ERA in three starts, while holding opponents to 13 hits and striking out 16 in 19 1-3 innings. "I can't say enough about this guy," Ryan said. "From the end of spring training, I've said this guy has a legit shot to be the rookie of the year. You see his stuff. You make guys look the way they do on all three pitches, he's outstanding and he's only going to get better. ... He's got a great chance to be something special." with it. His breaking stuff is only to get better. When you're throwing 97-98 (mpi) there's so much more you can get away with. He's going to be good. Once his breaking stuff gets even better, he has a chance to be really special." "Pineda's fastball is as good as I've ever seen," said Wright, a 13-year major league veteran. "He throws strikes and attacks hitters The Royals entered the game leading the American League with a .279 average, but managed just five hits, matching their season low. "The kid's got electric stuff," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Pineda. "We weren't chasing pitches outside the zone. The kid's got a live arm. It was our first look at him. He's got a good fastball and breaking ball and he threw strikes. He's in there throwing 95 with his fastball and with a sharp breaking ball." Blake Wood then replaced Jeff Francis and Ryan brought home both runners with a hit on a 3-1 pitch. The Mariners won for only the third time in 14 games. "I think I can safely speak for everybody we're not having fun right now," Ryan said. "I'm not having any fun. This is not how Ryan laced a single to left in the seventh to score Justin Smoak and Miguel Olivo to snap a 1-all tie. Smoak led off the inning with a single and advanced to second when Olivo ended an 0-for-27 skid with a single. Ryan Langer-hans' sacrifice bunt advanced both runners. I wanted to start out the season, personally and as a team. We're going to get better. Hopefully things will start falling and start going our way, because they havent." Francis (0-1) is still searching for his first victory with the Royals. He was charged with three runs on six hits, while walking none and striking out one in 6 1-3 innings. Jeff Francoeur led off the Royals' fifth with a one-hop double off the right-field fence, the only extra-base hit off Pineda. He advanced to third on Betemit's fly out to center. Brayan Pena's sacrifice fly scored Francoeur for the only run Pineda would allow. "We knew he threw hard and then we saw he had 99 (mph) on the second pitch of the game." Francoeur said. "We had to give ourselves a chance to swing the bats." The Mariners tied it in the sixth with Ichiro Suzuki starting the inning with a double down the right-field line. He scored on Milton Bradley's two-out triple to right. That snapped a Mariners' 14-inning scoreless drought. Woolridge will leave Kansas program Royals left-fielder Alex Gordon singled in the first to extend his hitting streak to 11 games, the longest active streak in the majors and one game shy of his career best. In the fourth defection from Kansas in the last eight days, Royce Woolridge will transfer to another school to finish his college career. It is still up in the air as to which school that will be. With Josh Selby's Thursday announcement that he would enter the NBA draft, Woolridge Woolridge had an outside chance at earning legitimate playing time next year for Kansas, but he told ESPN that he thought leaving the Jayhawks would be the best move for him. "it's tough having to leave the program because I feel like all the players are family, my brothers," Woolridge said. "We've been through a lot. I'm going to miss them. I'm going to miss Kansas. I'm going to miss everything about it. But sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself" Woolridge saw an average of 2.8 minutes in 16 games this year, and average 0.6 points.

Winning the doubles point in both matches proved to be less helpful in the outcome of the tournament than it has been in the past for the Jayhawks. Friday, the team met the Cowgirls at the Greens Country Club in Oklahoma City, Okla., winning the Nos. 2 and 3 contests in doubles play gave the Jayhawks the point. Once in singles play, however, they lost their momentum. Three singles contests went into extra sets and freshman Dylan Windom's singles winning streak was up to seven matches and perfect in the fifth spot. Tied at 2-2, Sarah Megoufeld of Oklahoma State beat sophomore Victoria Khanevskaya in the sixth match to take the momentum away from Kansas. The No. 1 singles player, Ekaterina Morozova, came out on top, leaving junior Erin Wilbert to decide the outcome of the match, which handed the victory to the Cowgirls. Falling in the third set, Oklahoma State came out on top at 4-3. The Cowgirls are now 7-13 and 3-6 in the Big 12 Conference. Norman, Okla., was rough on the Jayhawks as well. Coming off a defeat that broke their two tournament-long Big 12 winning streak, the Jayhawks couldn't bounce back. Pezzotti and freshman Paulina Los with the No. 3 victory and Morozova and Windom with the No.1 victory against the Sooner's Kansas is 9-11 overall and 3-7 in The Big 12 after matches this weekened in Oklahoma. The doubles point was won once again by both the Nos. 1 and 3 pairs — sophomore Monica No. 51 ranked pair. Windom shined with another singles winning streak, bringing the total to six with her fifth singles victory. However, the team didn' have much time on top losing four matches from the start. The Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 6 fell in two matches. Windom and Morozova came out on top, but the Jayhawks did not. The Sooners triumphed 4-3 in the Gregg Wadley Tennis Pavilion. Oklahoma is now 15-5 and 7-2 in the Big 12. Kansas is 9-11 and 3-7 in The Big 12. The Jayhawk's final regular season match will be the Sunflower Showdown 12 p.m. Saturday at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility, Seniors Maria Martinez and Kate Goff will be recognized at their final home match as Jayhawks. - Edited by Brittany Nelson YOUR PERSONAL OPTION FOR SUMMER SCHOOL Online Courses with KU Independent Study - Enroll and start anytime - Self-paced for flexibility - Take six months to complete - General Ed requirements We offer more than 120 courses delivered online, keeping you on track to graduate in four years.

Paul Pierce shut down Carmelo Anthony and the Boston Celtics rallied to beat the New York Knicks 87-85 in their playoff opener on Sunday night. New York led 85-84 before Anthony was called for an offensive foul for pushing Pierce with 21 seconds remaining. Allen, who led the Celtics with 24 points, sank the decisive basket from beyond the left arc. The Knicks then rushed down-court and Anthony missed a long 3-point attempt with 2 seconds left. The superstar forward went 1 for 11 from the field in the second half. Amare Stoudemire had 28 points and 11 rebounds for New York, and Anthony finished with 15. Game two of the best-of-seven series is set for Tuesday night in Boston. Third-seeded Boston got a tough challenge from the Knicks, who allowed 105.7 points per game during the regular season, third-most in the league. Pierce was the defensive star for the Celtics, forcing Anthony to shoot with a hand in his face for much of the game. With the score tied at 82, Toney Douglas hit a 3-pointer to put the Knicks in front with 38 seconds to go. The Celtics called timeout and immediately scored when Rondo tossed an alley-oop to Garnett. The Celtics, who won their NBA-high 17th championship in The Celtics played without center Shaquille O'Neal, who also is expected to miss game two with a sore right calf.

Allen Iverson FACT OF THE DAY Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose made 19 out of 21 free throws against the Indiana Pacers Saturday, which is the most in the playoffs since 2002. — espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the last player to make 19 free throws in a playoff game? A: Allen Iverson espn.com Manny the hitter, not the user MORNING BREW If you're weak in the stomach, look away. If you're ethical, you're going to disagree. But I don't care. I'll always love Manny Ramirez. Ramirez retired on April 8 after once more testing positive for performance enhancing drugs, or PEDs. He was looking at a likely 100-game suspension. Nearing the end of his baseball career and signed to the hapless Tampa Bay Rays, Ramirez passed on the wait and called it quits. MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Most see his departure from the game as yet another sad anecdote in a swerving career. Even before he was busted for PEDs, Ramirez was viewed as a disruptive and selfish teammate. After a walk-off home run against the Angels in the 2007 playoffs, Ramirez just stood at the plate with his hands up. Half-celebratory, half-stupefied, people wondered if hed ever actually run the bases (it took him a while, but he did). Ramirez was so dazed and incompetent as a left-fielder that my friends and I used to joke that he took smoke breaks in The Green Monster at Fenway Park between innings. He worked his ass off in the weight room, but no one could ever tell. It just didn't look like he was trying out there. Understand this: I'm not a looney and I don't condone any kind of drug use, performance-enhancing or not. I THE MORNING BREW do, however, try to look past Ramirez's drug case, because of who he was as a person and natural hitter. I respect him for not really caring what the media thought. It's rare to have an athlete who is so honest and sincere. Ramirez was hilarious, yes. He once caught a fly ball and high-fived a fan in stride. He once cut off a Johnny Damon throw that was no more than 50 feet away. He once dove for a fly ball, missed it badly, and then crawled and rolled back to the ball like he was playing by himself in a sandbox. Everyone just called it "Manny being Manny." But he also had a swagger that was all about being the best. All he wanted to do was crush the ball and beat the Yankees. If he did something along the way that bothered you, to him, it was just white noise. But best of all was that swing. I'm not a religious man, but it makes me want to believe in God. Hitting-coaches across the country use Ramirez's swing as their visual bible for students of the game. So compact. So focused. So fierce. When Ramirez hit a ball, he freakin' crushed the thing. When he wasn't bruising the aforementioned monster, he was sailing baseballs way over it, onto Lansdowne Street. It'll never be easy, but give it a shot. Try to forget about Ramirez's PED use during this muddled era of baseball. Remember that swing: a force of nature, not chemicals. Like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron before him, Ramirez leaves the game as one of the greatest right-handed hitters ever. The careless, goofball persona is the cherished bonus.

MONDAY, APRIL 18,2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VICTORY AGAINST CANCER Celebrating survival MOH Sophomore outfieldier Rosie Hull sports a pink armband that read "MOM" in honor of her mother, who survived breast cancer Howard Ting/KANSAN BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com The team was sporting pink uniforms, most of the fans were also wearing pink, and the Jayhawks were hosting Baylor for their Pink in the Park game to support breast cancer awareness. Maggie and Rosie Hull had reminders everywhere. But the Hull twins had another reminder of the disease this one more personal. They each wore a pink wristband with "MOM" written on it. "I was just thinking about how she's a stronger fighter than I ever have been." Rosie said. Sophomore outfielders Maggie and Rosie Hull's mother, Marilyn Hull, was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine mammogram when the twins were sophomores in high school. Marilyn has been cancer-free for three years and remains a constant reminder to the twins of what true strength really is. "I was trying to take some of the fight that I see in her onto the field," Maggie said. Maggie, who hit her seventh home run of the season on Saturday, recalled the hardest times for her mother and the admirable way she would go to their high school basketball games even when she was sick. If she was strong enough to go, Marilyn was there for her daughters. "She's one of the most selfless people I know and really tried to put family above everything when she was going through all of that," Maggie said. The Jayhawks lost the weekend series to the Bears 9-3 and 8-0, but the motivation was still there. What their mother overcame makes everything seem like a manageable obstacle, the twins said. With cancer, it's a matter of life or death. But whatever the twins do now has a deeper meaning. Whether it's softball, school or any other life challenge, Rosie said they had an idol who was a living example of perseverance. "That was my inspiration to get me through not only this game, but life," she said. "It teaches you not to take life for granted." PAGE 12A And they haven't, especially after a hardship the softball team endured last year. Former player Ally Stanton's mother died of breast cancer. The team attended the funer al. which was a time of sincere tragic experience The team atte al, which was compassion on behalf of the Hull family. That could have been their mom. "It could have gone the other way," "I was trying to take some of the fight that I see in her onto the field." MAGGIE HULL Sophomore outfielder er overcame. Just a couple of weeks after she was cancer-free, Maggie said. "They just so happened to catch my mom's early." recalled the the emotions began to show in their eyes. They were lucky. Maggiehad one memory in particular that summed up how much her moth- Marilyn Hull finished the Relay for Life walk, a fundraising event for the fight against cancer. "At the end of the track, she took off her hat and she was bald," Maggie said. "She was just so proud that she could do that walk. "And she was proud of who she was." Edited by Helen Mubarak 12 BASEBALL Young pitchers shine against Missouri MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Senior infielder Brandon Macias slides across home plate for a run Sunday at Taylor Stadium. Kansas won 6-0 and took the series from Missouri. Three underclassmen pitchers came through for the Jayhawks when they needed it most, shutting out Missouri in the series-deciding third game. The 6-0 victory gave the Jayhawks their first series win at Taylor Stadium in 28 years, and keeps the Jayhawks' postseason hopes alive. "We've now put ourselves not only in a position to make the Big 12 Tournament, but we can make the NCAA tournament if we continue to play well," coach Ritch Price said. Freshman pitcher Alex Cox gave up six hits in 5.2 innings on the mound, while striking out three, in what he said was easily one of the biggest starts of his career. "With the series split, I obviously knew it was a big game," Cox said. "It was a great overall team win." "He got into trouble, and every time he got into trouble he made a big pitch, rolled up a double play ball, and got out of it," Price said. Cox, a 6-foot-5 freshman from Corona, Calif., managed to escape the second, third, and fourth innings with two Missouri runners left on base.

COMMENTARY Recruits join the Jayhawk lineup 1986 1 BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com So who's left? Gone are seniors Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed and Mario Little. Off to the NBA are the Morris twins and, gulp, Josh Selby. Transferring for playing time is Royce Woolridge. We know Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson are back (which caused a Lawrence-wide sigh of relief for the latter, and hopefully, someday, the former). Robinson's best buddy Elijah Johnson is back and likely in the starting lineup for non-Taylor related reasons. Jeff Withey and Travis Releford will do more than sniff the hardwood from the distant sidelines; both are in line for substantial minutes next season. After them, we've got bench staples and Danny Manning, and I don't suspect a comeback. BEN MCLEMORE Bill Self and his recruiting brigade have been scouring the continent for talented youngsters who might want to give Allen Fieldhouse a try. The process continues, but here's a breakdown of who has already been lured to Kansas to familiarize yourself with new and undeniably core pieces of the Jayhawks' future. Rumor had it that his mom wanted him to be a Missouri Tiger. McLemore, who's from St. Louis, had more secure and historically successful things in mind. rie is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture. NAADIRTHARPE Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give Jayhawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot. His somewhat diminutive stature could pose matchup problems against lengthy Big 12 opponents. But what's the worst that could happen? After all, this kid is from Worcester, Mass., or as locals call it: WuHstahhh! BRAEDEN ANDERSON Anderson signed with Kansas seemingly the second after the Morris twins declared for the NBA. That fact alone tells you a good bit about his game. Anderson, a Calgary, Alberta, import can play small forward or power forward, but next season's team will need him more in the paint. He can score anywhere on the floor, but at his position, he needs to improve as a rebounder. Here's hoping Self and company aren't finished. Trevor Lacey, DeAndre Daniels and Jamari Traylor are just a few of the unsigned names floating around. After guys like North Carolina's Harrison Barnes and Kentucky's Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones decide to stay in school or leave for the NBA, we'll know much more. —Edited by Amanda Sorell APARTMENT GUIDE 4 A breakdown of Lawrence neighborhoods pg. 10-14 PRESENTED BY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN APRIL 18, 2011 图 Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Hazmat-trained firefighters assess the situation in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage earlier this month.

The responding units then set up a command station where the units will formulate a plan. While the first steps of the hazmat process are fairly consistent, the next steps are full of variables. Some hazardous materials take days to clean up, while others take a few hours. In the parking garage situation, respondents cleared the area, sealed the bottle in another container and it was taken from the scene within an hour. "Hazmats are usually one of those things that go real quick. It's hurry up and wait," Green said. "Our number one priority is life safety." In the case of last week's hazmat call, the bottle was labeled biodiesel and heptane, a fuel additive and solvent. At the time of the call it was unknown if heptane was dangerous or if that was even what the bottle contained. AT THE READY A hazardous material is anything that can cause physical damage, but usually, in the campus context, it refers to dangerous chemicals. What is a hazardous material? Green said each hazardous material case is unique. The cleanup time and the number of fire trucks, police cars, ambulances or hazardous material trucks dispatched varies on the severity of the case. What does not vary is who foots the bill. Green said a hazmat call to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is treated like any other emergency call. The University does not pay for extra service from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. It does, however, pay for KU EHS employees Green said this variability makes it difficult to assign a specific cost to a hazardous material call. MIKE RUSSELL Director of KU Environmental Health and Safety who clean up the materials or assist in the process. Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical has an operating budget of $13,422,605 this year. Regardless of costs, the KU EHS and hazmat teams are ready to respond to situations large and small. "We get a lot of calls and the majority of those calls are not big events or have any severe or negative outcomes." Russell said. Russell also said that, although KU EHS does not keep compiled records of hazmat incidents on campus, they deal with about one large or labor-intensive call a year. Russell said that the incident at the parking garage did not count as a call. Russell did not provide the student's name, and no charges were filed. He thought the bottle had been returned to either the student or his professor. "Between us and the professor, Russell said, "he got raked over the coals" INDEX es as a coony.

Donald Trump, Paula Abdul and even Bill Gates have committed to feng shui in their homes. The ancient art of feng shui is an Asian method used to create harmony and peace by furnishing living spaces in such a way that improves the flow of energy, or'Qi,' in the body. According to Essortment.com, original feng shui involves dividing a room into nine equally sized squares, with each square signifying a part of life. These squares can represent aspects such as family, relationships and careers. However, due to the small living spaces in most student homes, this is more difficult to apply. However, no matter how small your apartment is, possibilities remain to make feng shui, whether with color, accessories or by simply rearranging furniture. BEDROOM Make your apartment feng shui, the student way. The ground rules for bedroom feng shui provide for the bed to be free from the door and from walls at the sides of the mattress. The bed must be accessible from every side except for the back, which must be placed against a wall. A nice-smelling room also makes a big difference. Robyn Harte, sophomore from Overland Park, said she liked to burn incense because it can give the room a homi-rier vibe. liked it can ier vibe. "And I j smell she sa fe "And I just think they smell really good," she said. According to fengshuicrazy. com, night- stands and drawers have to be the same on both sides of the bed for a better harmony while sleeping. It's also best to avoid putting the bed next to a window, as it can suck away the energy while you are sleeping. Although hanging a mirror might make the room seem bigger, the bed should not look out on a mirror. This arrangement can create a bad vibe in the room. COLOR Color is one of the most important ideas behind feng shui, according to thespiritualfengshui.com. The use of different colors and materials can create a different vibe in your room. Earthy, skin-like tones in the bedroom are considered best, as they provide a relaxed, soothing atmosphere. Darker, more fire-like colors can provide you with energy to get things done in the office. Colors in this room should range from burgundy red to ochre.

The Jayhawks' batting lineup gave the pitching staff cushion all game, getting six runs off of nine hits. "It definitely feels good to finally get that monkey off my back" Stanfield said. The Jayhawks pulled away in the seventh, scoring two additional runs that gave Kansas a 5-0 lead. Another run in the ninth secured Kansas' first series victory at Missouri since 1983. The pitching staff had a great weekend as a whole against the Tigers. Senior TJ. Walz had an outstanding performance in Friday night's series opener. He gave up five hits for one run in seven innings on the mound in the Jayhawks' 8-3 victory. In game two on Saturday, the teams were in a 2-2 deadlock headed into the bottom of the ninth. Junior closer Colton Murray blew his first save of the season, when he gave up an RBI single to Missouri outfielder Blake Brown. The split of the first two games made game three crucial to the rest of the Jayhawks' season. The victory puts Kansas at 18-18, with an 8-7 record in conference play — securing the Jayhawks the fifth spot in the Big 12 standings. Kansas can now take the momentum of winning three consecutive Big 12 series into a showdown with Texas from April Edited by Tali David "We opened conference play with four series wins out of the first five, and the great thing now is every week can become bigger than the last," Price said. 21-23. Rumor had it that my mum named him to be a Missouri Tiger. McLemore, who's from St. Louis, had more secure and historically successful things in mind. He is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture. NAADIR THARPE Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give lajyawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot.

In feng shui, sharp corners represent negativity. They are like a finger or gun pointed at you. Try to cover corners with curtains, fabric or pillows. Adding a plant is a quick, easy way to change up room decor.. Plants are considered a source of life and can therefore enhance the life in your room. The plant does not necessarily have to be a flowery one. A ficus or cactus will also do the trick-both of which are easy to nourish. The toughest part of maintaining feng shui is to keep the room organized and clean. Constant clutter represents an unorganized energy in life. It may seem like conventional wisdom, but less clutter equals less chaos, which equals a peaceful flow of energy. Harte admits that she previously had a messy desk, but has come to the realization that after cleaning it, she feels more organized. "I feel like I don't have to go to the library anymore to get stuff done," she said. Not all the tips need to be followed to implement feng shui effectively, like and leave the ones you do not.

Firefighters take the course through the Kansas State The "call for help," which Russell said can be made either "Our number one priority is life safety." DOUG GREEN Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief First dispatchers, who are often trained in identifying hazardous material situations, determine the seriousness of the call.

If the situation is more serious, dispatch notifies emergency units and sends them to the scene. to KU EHS or 911, sets off a chain of highly structured responses by emergency crews.

KU EHS and KU public safety will also be noti- fited the situation through dispatch, and respond. The responding units then set up a command station where the units will formulate a plan. In the case of last week's hazmat call, the bottle was labeled biodiesel and heptane, a fuel additive and solvent. At the time of the call it was unknown if heptane was dangerous or if that was even what the bottle contained. "Hazmats are usually one of those things that go real quick. It's hurry up and wait," Green said. "Our number one priority is life safety." While the first steps of the hazmat process are fairly consistent, the next steps are full of variables. Some hazardous materials take days to clean up, while others take a few hours. In the parking garage situation, respondents cleared the area, sealed the bottle in another container and it was taken from the scene within an hour. AT THE READY Green said each hazardous material case is unique. The cleanup time and the number of fire trucks, police cars, ambulances or hazardous material trucks dispatched varies on the severity of the case. What does not vary is who foots the bill. Green said a hazmat call to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is treated like any other emergency call. The University does not pay for extra service from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. It does, however, pay for KU EHS employees Green said this variability makes it difficult to assign a specific cost to a hazardous material call. What is a hazardous material? A hazardous material is anything that can cause physical damage, but usually, in the campus context, it refers to dangerous chemicals. MIKE RUSSELL Director of KU Environmental Health and Safety who clean up the materials or assist in the process. Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical has an operating budget of $13,422,605 this year. Regardless of costs, the KU EHS and hazmat teams are ready to respond to situations large and small. "We get a lot of calls and the majority of those calls are not big events or have any severe or negative outcomes," Russell said. Russell also said that, although KU EHS does not keep compiled records of hazmat incidents on campus, they deal with about one large or labor-intensive call a year. Russell said that the incident at the parking garage did not count as such a call. Russell did not provide the student's name, and no charges were filed. He thought the bottle had been returned to either the student or his professor.

Kansas won 6-0 and took the series from Missouri. Young pitchers shine against Missouri BASEBALL MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Three underclassmen pitchers came through for the Jayhawks when they needed it most, shutting out Missouri in the series-deciding third game. The 6-0 victory gave the Jayhawks their first series win at Taylor Stadium in 28 years, and keeps the Jayhawks postseason hopes alive. "We've now put ourselves not only in a position to make the Big 12 Tournament, but we can make the NCAA tournament if we continue to play well," coach Ritch Price said. Freshman pitcher Alex Cox gave up six hits in 5.2 innings on the mound, while striking out three, in what he said was easily one of the biggest starts of his career. Cox, a 6-foot-5 freshman from Corona, Calif., managed to escape the second, third, and fourth innings with two Missouri runners left on base. "With the series split, I obviously knew it was a big game," Cox said. "It was a great overall team win." "He got into trouble, and every time he got into trouble he made a big pitch, rolled up a double play ball, and got out of it," Price said. Sophomore Thomas Taylor, usually a weekday starter, came out of the bullpen to relieve Cox and close out the sixth inning. In the seventh, Taylor gave up a leadoff double but quickly recovered, retiring the next three Missouri batters. Next to pitch wgs freshman, Frank Duncan, who quickly went through the Missouri lineup. He retired the Tigers with 10 pitches in the eighth and 18 pitches in the ninth. "It's really exciting to start a freshman, relieve him with a sophomore, and then close it up again with a freshman." Price said. "Those guys have really emerged" One of Kansas' biggest plays came off the bat of junior catchiner James Stanfield in the sixth inning. Stanfield's first career home run extended the Kansas lead from two runs to three, and opened up the game from there.

You just have to get by your already hectic life in whatever o already neat life in whatever weird fashion you can, then move on. People will question your methods and friends will laugh at you, but in the end you will have an effective system of living. As a college student, you have to capitalize on your resources to make your living space more pleasant. Many times, these "quirks," as people would call them, are efficient, economical and simple. PEE IN THE SHOWER Here are some odd actions you can take to have a functional and cheap household. Use the shower as your toilet to cut down on water expenses. Not just when you are taking a shower, but aim for the drain every time you have to go. Mauricio R. Soler This should go without saying, but don't go "number two" in the shower. That's a mess no one wants to clean up. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com This strategy takes the "if it's yellow, leave it mellow" saying to a new level. Not to mention, it's sanitary and does wonders for the environment. KEEP DRYER SHEETS IN YOUR DRAWERS Life is much easier if you can walk around without a really weak force fendling your leg all day. Sometimes the dryer and dryer sheet combo isn't enough to get the static out of certain fabrics. The easiest way to take care of that problem is just shoving the dryer sheets in with your clothes. It works. TIP: Certain laundry baskets can attract static as well, so make sure it's not affecting the clothes you put in. A simple wipe down with a dryer sheet should solve the problem. DRY ERASE NOTES ON THE MIRROR You are always going to look at the mirror, so that makes it the perfect place to put notes. Dry erase markers work well, as long as you aren't fogging up that mirror and ruining your memos. Schedules are scattered and unorganized, so putting them in a place you often look is wise. Bulletin boards and calendars are suitable alternatives and are usually more organized than scribbling on a mirror, but are more high-maintenance. CURTAiN SUBSTITUTES Humans are meant to sleep in the dark. But it's especially difficult to snooze with light seeping into your room. Apartments that keep lights on at night are safe, but cost you your rest. If for some reason you can't put a curtain up, whether because of insufficient funds or because the structure of the window sill won't let you, you have a couple of options. The simplest solution would be to pin up a towel or a light blanket. You'd have to develop a system that could keep the "curtain" open, too, but that shouldn't be too hard. An alternative could be a board of some sort. It would have to be large enough to cover most of the window to block out incoming light. MAKE YOUR BED Nothing will draw a bigger reaction. A tidy bed affects everything in the room. It puts the surroundings in order. When you walk into your room, the last thing you want to do is submerge yourself in clutter. It's so much more inviting to sleep in and who doesn't want that?

Kansas won 6-0 and took the series from Missouri. BASEBALL MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Three underclassmen pitchers came through for the Jayhawks when they needed it most, shutting out Missouri in the series-deciding third game. The 6-0 victory gave the Jayhawks their first series win at Taylor Stadium in 28 years, and keeps the Jayhawks postseason hopes alive. "We've now put ourselves not only in a position to make the Big 12 Tournament, but we can make the NCAA tournament if we continue to play well," coach Ritch Price said. Freshman pitcher Alex Cox gave up six hits in 5.2 innings on the mound, while striking out three, in what he said was easily one of the biggest starts of his career. "With the series split, I obviously knew it was a big game," Cox said. "It was a great overall team win." Cox, a 6-foot-5 freshman from Corona, Calif., managed to escape the second, third, and fourth innings with two Missouri runners left on base. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO "He got into trouble, and every time he got into trouble he made a big pitch, rolled up a double play ball, and got out of it," Price said. Sophomore Thomas Taylor, usually a weekday starter, came out of the bullpen to relieve Cox and close out the sixth inning. Next to pitch wgs freshman, Frank Duncan, who quickly went through the Missouri lineup. He retired the Tigers with 10 pitches in the eighth and 18 pitches in the ninth. In the seventh, Taylor gave up a leadoff double but quickly recovered, retiring the next three Missouri batters. "It's really exciting to start a freshman, relieve him with a sophomore, and then close it up again with a freshman," Price said. "Those guys have really emerged." One of Kansas' biggest plays came off the bat of junior catcher James Stanfield in the sixth inning. Stanfield's first career home run extended the Kansas lead from two runs to three, and opened up the game from there. The Jayhawks' batting lineup gave the pitching staff cushion all game, getting six runs off of nine hits. "It definitely feels good to finally get that monkey off my back." Stanfield said. the Jayhawks' 8-3 victory The pitching staff had a great weekend as a whole against the Tigers. Senior T.J. Walz had an outstanding performance in Friday night's series opener. He gave up five hits for one run in seven innings on the mound in The Jayhawks pulled away in the seventh, scoring two additional runs that gave Kansas a 5-0 lead. Another run in the ninth secured Kansas' first series victory at Missouri since 1983. In game two on Saturday, the teams were in a 2-2 deadlock headed into the bottom of the ninth. Junior closer Colton Murray blew his first save of the season, when he gave up an RBI single to Missouri outfielder Blake Brown. The split of the first two games made game three crucial to the rest of the Jayhawks' season. The victory puts Kansas at 18-18, with an 8-7 record in conference play — securing the Jayhawks the fifth spot in the Big 12 standings. Kansas can now take the momentum of winning three consecutive Big 12 series into a showdown with Texas from April 21-23. "We opened conference play with four series wins out of the first five, and the great thing now is every week can become bigger than the last," Price said.

He is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give Jayhawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot. His somewhat diminutive stature could pose matchup problems against lengthy Big 12 opponents. But what's the worst that could happen? After all, this kid is from Worcester, Mass., or as locals call it: WuHubahhh! This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture.

The suspicious material turned out to be fuel for a remote-controlled engine left by a KU student. Drive, are the nazmat experts. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief Doug Green said these firefighters go through monthly exercises and an 80 hour Hazmat training course. Firefighters take the course through the Kansas State "Wealwayssay, 'when in doubt, get out, and call for help,'" said Mike Russell, director of KU Environmental Health and Safety. The "call for help," which Russell said can be made either "Our number one priority is life safety." DOUG GREEN Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief to KU EHS or 911, sets off a chain of highly structured responses by emergency crews. First dispatchers, who are often trained in identifying hazardous material situations, determine the seriousness of the call. If the caller reports a non-serious situation on campus, such as spilled gasoline, trained KU EHS employees clean it up. If the situation is more serious, dispatch notifies emergency units and sends them to the scene. "Ninety-nine percent of any response to a call like that is a law enforcement unit and fire units," Russell said. "They are going to be rolling to the scene just because they've got to get the right people Fire Marshal's Office to become certified as hazmat technicians by Kansas Fire Rescue and Training. KU EHS and KU public safety will also be notified of the situation through dispatch, and respond. The responding units then set up a command station where the units will formulate a plan. In the case of last week's hazmat call, the bottle was labeled biodiesel and heptane, a fuel additive and solvent. At the time of the call it was unknown if heptane was dangerous or if that was even what the bottle contained. "Hazmats are usually one of those things that go real quick. It's hurry up and wait," Green said. "Our number one priority is life safety." While the first steps of the hazmat process are fairly consistent, the next steps are full of variables. Some hazardous materials take days to clean up, while others take a few hours. In the parking garage situation, respondents cleared the area, sealed the bottle in another container and it was taken from the scene within an hour. AT THE READY Green said each hazardous material case is unique. The cleanup time and the number of fire trucks, police cars, ambulances or hazardous material trucks dispatched varies on the severity of the case. Green said this variability makes it difficult to assign a specific cost to a hazardous material call. What is a hazardous material? A hazardous material is anything that can cause physical damage,but usually, in the campus context,it refers to dangerous chemicals. What does not vary is who foots the bill. Green said a hazmat call to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is treated like any other emergency call. The University does not pay for extra service from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. It does, however, pay for KU EHS employees MIKE RUSSELL Director of KU Environmental Health and Safety Regardless of costs, the KU EHS and hazmat teams are ready to respond to situations large and small. who clean up the materials or assist in the process. Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical has an operating budget of $13,422,605 this year. "We get a lot of calls and the majority of those calls are not big events or have any severe or negative outcomes," Russell said. Russell also said that, although KU EHS does not keep compiled records of hazmat incidents on campus, they deal with about one large or labor-intensive call a year. Russell said that the incident at the parking garage did not count as such a call. Russell did not provide the student's name, and no charges were filed. He thought the bottle had been returned to either the student or his professor. "Between us and the professor," Russell said, "he got raked over the coals."

The many apartments available to rent off campus are conveniently located near campus. Close proximity to campus buildings is a major benefit to living in this area. Even if you do not live in the halls or scholarship halls, you are within walking distance of campus. If walking isn't your thing, the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels have routes through the entire area. Living in central Lawrence also means that you are within walking distance of downtown Lawrence. Downtown Lawrence is a major attraction of Lawrence with the many clothing stores that students love, a variety of restaurants and other bars that are just outside the central Lawrence area.

Kansas won 6-0 and took the series from Missouri. Three underclassmen pitchers came through for the Jayhawks when they needed it most, shutting out Missouri in the series-deciding third game. The 6-0 victory gave the Jayhawks their first series win at Taylor Stadium in 28 years, and keeps the Jayhawks postseason hopes alive. "We've now put ourselves not only in a position to make the Big 12 Tournament, but we can make the NCAA tournament if we continue to play well," coach Ritch Price said. Freshman pitcher Alex Cox gave up six hits in 5.2 innings on the mound, while striking out three, in what he said was easily one of the biggest starts of his career. Cox, a 6-foot-5 freshman from Corona, Calif., managed to escape the second, third, and fourth innings with two Missouri runners left on base. "With the series split, I obviously knew it was a big game," Cox said. "It was a great overall team win." "He got into trouble, and every time he got into trouble he made a big pitch, rolled up a double play ball, and got out of it," Price said. Sophomore Thomas Taylor, usually a weekday starter, came out of the bullpen to relieve Cox and close out the sixth inning. Next to pitch was freshman, Frank Duncan, who quickly went through the Missouri lineup. He retired the Tigers with 10 pitches in the eighth and 18 pitches in the ninth. One of Kansas' biggest plays came off the bat of junior catcher James Stanfield in the sixth inning. Stanfield's first career home run extended the Kansas lead from two runs to three, and opened up the game from there. "It's really exciting to start a freshman, relieve him with a sophomore, and then close it up again with a freshman," Price said. "Those guys have really emerged." The Jayhawks' batting lineup gave the pitching staff cushion all game, getting six runs off of nine hits. "It definitely feels good to finally get that monkey off my back," Stanfield said. In the seventh, Taylor gave up a leadoff double but quickly recovered, retiring the next three Missouri batters. The Jayhawks pulled away in the seventh, scoring two additional runs that gave Kansas a 5-0 lead. Another run in the ninth secured Kansas' first series victory at Missouri since 1983. The pitching staff had a great weekend as a whole against the Tigers. Senior T.J. Walz had an outstanding performance in Friday night's series opener. He gave up five hits for one run in seven innings on the mound in the Jayhawks' 8-3 victory. In game two on Saturday, the teams were in a 2-2 deadlock headed into the bottom of the ninth. Junior closer Colton Murray blew his first save of the season, when he gave up an RBI single to Missouri outfielder Blake Brown. The split of the first two games made game three crucial to the rest of the Jayhawks' season. The victory puts Kansas at 18-18, with an 8-7 record in conference play — securing the Jayhawks the fifth spot in the Big 12 standings. Kansas can now take the momentum of winning three consecutive Big 12 series into a showdown with Texas from April 21-23. Edited by Tali David "We opened conference play with four series wins out of the first five, and the great thing now is every week can become bigger than the last," Price said. Rumor had it that his most him to be a Missouri Tiger McLemore, who's from St. Louis, had more secure and historically successful things in mind. He is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. NAADIR THARPE This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture. Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give Jayhawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot. His somewhat diminutive stature could pose match problems against lengthy Big 12 opponents. But what's the worst that could happen? After all, this kid is from Worcester, Mass., or as locals call it: Wuhstahhh! BRAEDEN ANDERSON Anderson signed with Kansas seemingly the second after the Morris twins declared for the NBA. That fact alone tells you a good bit about his game. Anderson, a Calgary, Alberta, import can play small forward or power forward, but next season's team will need him more in the paint. He can score anywhere on the floor, but at his position, he needs to improve as a rebounder. Here's hoping Self and company aren't finished. Trevor Lacey, DeAndre Daniels and Jamari Traylor are just a few of the unsigned names floating around. After guys like North Carolina's Harrison Barnes and Kentucky's Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones decide to stay in school or leave for the NBA, we'll know much more.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Hazmat-trained firefighters assess the situation in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage earlier this month.

Firefighters take the course through the Kansas State "Our number one priority is life safety." The "call for help," which Russell said can be made either DOUG GREEN Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief to KU EHS or 911, sets off a chain of highly structured responses by emergency crews. First dispatchers, who are often trained in identifying hazardous material situations, determine the seriousness of the call. If the caller reports a non-serious situation on campus, such as spilled gasoline, trained KU EHS employees clean it up. If the situation is more serious, dispatch notifies emergency units and sends them to the scene. "Ninety-nine percent of any response to a call like that is a law enforcement unit and fire units," Russell said. "They are going to be rolling to the scene just because they've got to get the right people Fire Marshal's Office to become certified as hazmat technicians by Kansas Fire Rescue and Training. KU EHS and KU public safety will also be notified of the situation through dispatch, and respond. The responding units then set up a command station where the units will formulate a plan. In the case of last week's hazmat call, the bottle was labeled biodiesel and heptane, a fuel additive and solvent. At the time of the call it was unknown if heptane was dangerous or if that was even what the bottle contained. "Hazmats are usually one of those things that go real quick. It's hurry up and wait," Green said. "Our number one priority is life safety." While the first steps of the hazmat process are fairly consistent, the next steps are full of variables. Some hazardous materials take days to clean up, while others take a few hours. In the parking garage situation, respondents cleared the area, sealed the bottle in another container and it was taken from the scene within an hour. AT THE READY Green said each hazardous material case is unique. The cleanup time and the number of fire trucks, police cars, ambulances or hazardous material trucks dispatched varies on the severity of the case. What does not vary is who foots the bill. Green said a hazmat call to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is treated like any other emergency call. The University does not pay for extra service from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. It does, however, pay for KU EHS employees What is a hazardous material? Green said this variability makes it difficult to assign a specific cost to a hazardous material call. A hazardous material is anything that can cause physical damage,but usually,in the campus context,it refers to dangerous chemicals.

Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical has an operating budget of $13,422,605 this year. "We get a lot of calls and the majority of those calls are not big events or have any severe or negative outcomes," Russell said. Russell also said that, although KU EHS does not keep compiled records of hazmat incidents on campus, they deal with about one large or labor-intensive call a year. Russell said that the incident at the parking garage did not count as such a call. Russell did not provide the student's name, and no charges were filed.

Sophomore Thomas Taylor, usually a weekday starter, came out of the bullpen to relive Cox and close out the sixth inning. "He got into trouble, and every time he got into trouble he made a big pitch, rolled up a double play ball, and got out of it," Price said. In the seventh, Taylor gave up a leadoff double but quickly recovered, retiring the next three Missouri batters. Next to pitch wgs freshman, Frank Duncan, who quickly went through the Missouri lineup. He retired the Tigers with 10 pitches in the eighth and 18 pitches in the ninth. One of Kansas' biggest plays came off the bat of junior catcher James Stanfield in the sixth inning. Stanfield's first career home run extended the Kansas lead from two runs to three, and opened up the game from there. The Jayhawks' batting lineup gave the pitching staff cushion all game, getting six runs off of ning hits. "It's really exciting to start a freshman, relieve him with a sophomore, and then close it up again with a freshman," Price said. "Those guys have really emerged." "It definitely feels good to finally get that monkey off my back." Stanfield said. The Jayhawks pulled away in the seventh, scoring two additional runs that gave Kansas a 5-0 lead. Another run in the ninth secured Kansas' first series victory at Missouri since 1983. The pitching staff had a great weekend as a whole against the Tigers. Senior T.J. Walz had an outstanding performance in Friday night's series opener. He gave up five hits for one run in seven innings on the mound in the Jayhawks' 8-3 victory. In game two on Saturday, the teams were in a 2-2 deadlock headed into the bottom of the ninth. Junior closer Colton Murray blew his first save of the season, when he gave up an RBI single to Missouri outfielder Blake Brown. The split of the first two games made game three crucial to the rest of the Jayhawks' season. The victory puts Kansas at 18-18, with an 8-7 record in conference play — securing the jayhawks the fifth spot in the Bir 12 standings. Kansas can now take the momentum of winning three consecutive Big 12 series into a showdown with Texas from April 21-23. "We opened conference play with four series wins out of the first five, and the great thing now is every week can become bigger than the last." Price said. Edited by Tali David Rumor had it that his master him to be a Missouri Tiger. McLemore, who's from St. Louis, had more secure and historically successful things in mind. He is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. NAADIR THARPE This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture. Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give Jayhawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot. His somewhat diminutive stature could pose matchup problems against lengthy Big 12 opponents. But what's the worst that could happen? After all, this kid is from Worcester, Mass., or as locals call it: Wuhstahhh! BRAEDEN ANDERSON Anderson signed with Kansas seemingly the second after the Morris twins declared for the NBA. That fact alone tells you a good bit about his game. Anderson, a Calgary, Alberta, import can play small forward or power forward, but next season's team will need him more in the paint. He can score anywhere on the floor, but at his position, he needs to improve as a rebounder. Here's hoping Self and company aren't finished. Trevor Lacey, DeAndre Daniels and Jamari Traylor are just a few of the unsigned names floating around. After guys like North Carolina's Harrison Barnes and Kentucky's Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones decide to stay in school or leave for the NBA, we'll know much more.

Kansas won 6-0 and took the series from Missouri. Three underclassmen pitchers came through for the Jayhawks when they needed it most, shutting out Missouri in the series-deciding third game. The 6-0 victory gave the Jayhawks their first series win at Taylor Stadium in 28 years, and keeps the Jayhawks postseason hopes alive. "We've now put ourselves not only in a position to make the Big 12 Tournament, but we can make the NCAA tournament if we continue to play well," coach Ritch Price said. Freshman pitcher Alex Cox gave up six hits in 5.2 innings on the mound, while striking out three, in what he said was easily one of the biggest starts of his career.

Next to pitch wgs freshman, Frank Duncan, who quickly went through the Missouri lineup. He retired the Tigers with 10 pitches in the eighth and 18 pitches in the ninth. One of Kansas' biggest plays came off the bat of junior catcher James Stanfield in the sixth inning. Stanfield's first career home run extended the Kansas lead from two runs to three, and opened up the game from there. The Jayhawks' batting lineup gave the pitching staff cushion all game, getting six runs off of nine hits. "It definitely feels good to finally get that monkey off my back," Stanfield said. The pitching staff had a great weekend as a whole against the Tigers. Senior T.J. Walz had an outstanding performance in Friday night's series opener. He gave up five hits for one run in seven innings on the mound in The Jayhawks pulled away in the seventh, scoring two additional runs that gave Kansas a 5-0 lead. Another run in the ninth secured Kansas' first series victory at Missouri since 1983. 1 the Jayhawks' 8-3 victory. In game two on Saturday, the teams were in a 2-2 deadlock headed into the bottom of the ninth. Junior closer Colton Murray blew his first save of the season, when he gave up an RBI single to Missouri outfielder Blake Brown. The split of the first two games made game three crucial to the rest of the Jayhawks' season. The victory puts Kansas at 18-18, with an 8-7 record in conference play — securing the Jayhawks the fifth shot in the Blo 12 standings. Kansas can now take the momentum of winning three consecutive Big 12 series into a showdown with Texas from April 21-23. "We opened conference play with four series wins out of the first five, and the great thing now is every week can become bigger than the last." Price said. Edited by Tali David . Rumor had it that the man him to be a Missouri Tiger. McLemore, who's from St. Louis, had more secure and historically successful things in mind. He is one of the most athletic incoming freshman in the country and will fit as a shooting guard or small forward. He needs to add more muscle to his boyish frame and continue to work on his outside shot, but this Kansas team needs a scorer. Inside or out, McLemore is just that. Expect him to get fairly heavy minutes for a freshman. Tharpe loves to make the extra pass; he'll give Jayhawk fans plenty of highlight-worthy assists. He is quick and intelligent with the ball, and his past coaches have praised his leadership qualities. Like most point guards, he needs to continue working on his jump shot. His somewhat diminutive stature could pose match problems against lengthy Big 12 opponents. But what's the worst that could happen? After all, this kid is from Worcester, Mass., or as locals call it: WuHustahhh! This kid is as true a point guard as they come, and he's a winner. Tharpe had multiple 30-victory seasons at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., so he should easily transition into Kansas' winning culture. NAADIR THARPE 1 Anderson, a Calgary, Alberta, import can play small forward or power forward, but next season's team will need him more in the paint. He can score anywhere on the floor, but at his position, he needs to improve as a rebounder. Anderson signed with Kansas seemingly the second after the Morris twins declared for the NBA. That fact alone tells you a good bit about his game. BRAEDEN ANDERSON Here's hoping Self and company aren't finished. Trevor Lacey, DeAndre Daniels and Jamari Traylor are just a few of the unsigned names floating around. After guys like North Carolina's Harrison Barnes and Kentucky's Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones decide to stay in school or leave for the NBA, we'll know much more.

Earlier this month they responded to a call about a suspicious substance at the parking garage east of Allen Fieldhouse. POLICE Hazmat calls elicit a timely, trained response On hazardous material calls, KU and Lawrence emergency responders react quickly to ensure safety Jerry Wang/NANSAN FILE PHOTO Hairmat-trained firefighters assess the situation in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage earlier this month. The suspicious material turned out to be fuel for a remote-controlled engine left by a KU student. BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com Everyone forgets things: pencils, cell phones, keys. However, when most people forget something, a hazardous materials team does not show up. Earlier this month a student left a bottle of biodiesel fuel in the parking garage east of Allen Fieldhouse. A short time later, the KU Public Safety Office received a report of a "suspicious bottle." In less than an hour, firefighters, KU public safety officers and a hazardous materials team had swarmed the parking garage. While it might seem like an overreaction — particularly for fuel used in a remote control engine — the incident illustrates precautions that the University and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical take when responding to reports of hazardous materials. "Wealwayssay, when in doubt, get out, and call for help," said Mike Russell, director of KU Environmental Health and Safety. The "call for help," which Russell said can be made either While all Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical personel have some hazardous materials training, those of Station 5, located in West Lawrence off Wakarusa Drive, are the hazmat experts. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief Doug Green said these firefighters go through monthly exercises and an 80 hour Hazmat training course. Firefighters take the course through the Kansas State there so they can figure out what it is or what is going on." The first responders work to secure the area as well as collect information. If there are hazardous materials that the responders need help dealing with, they call a hazmat team, a group of up to six highly trained Lawrence-Douglas County Firefighters who specialize in handling the volatile materials. This group can be supplemented with volunteer hazmat technicians from across Douglas County, if need be. "Our number one priority is life safety." to KU EHS or 911, sets off a chain of highly structured responses by emergency crews. First dispatchers, who are often trained in identifying hazardous material situations, determine the seriousness of the call. If the caller reports a non-serious situation on campus, such as spilled gasoline, trained KU EHS employees clean it up. If the situation is more serious, dispatch notifies emergency units and sends them to the scene. DOUG GREEN Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Division Chief "Ninety-nine percent of any response to a call like that is a law enforcement unit and fire units," Russell said. "They are going to be rolling to the scene just because they've got to get the right people Fire Marshal's Office to become certified as hazmat technicians by Kansas Fire Rescue and Training. KU EHS and KU publ safety will also be noti- ified of the situation through dispatch, and respond. The responding units then set up a command station where the units will formulate a plan. In the case of last week's hazmat call, the bottle was labeled biodiesel and heptane, a fuel additive and solvent. At the time of the call it was unknown if heptane was dangerous or if that was even what the bottle contained. "Hazmats are usually one of those things that go real quick. It's hurry up and wait," Green said. "Our number one priority is life safety." While the first steps of the hazmat process are fairly consistent, the next steps are full of variables. Some hazardous materials take days to clean up, while others take a few hours. In the parking garage situation, respondents cleared the area, sealed the bottle in another container and it was taken from the scene within an hour. AT THE READY Green said each hazardous material case is unique. The cleanup time and the number of fire trucks, police cars, ambulances or hazardous material trucks dispatched varies on the severity of the case. What does not vary is who foots the bill. Green said a hazmat call to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is treated like any other emergency call. The University does not pay for extra service from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. It does, however, pay for KU EHS employees Green said this variability makes it difficult to assign a specific cost to a hazardous material call. What is a hazardous material? A hazardous material is anything that can cause physical damage, but usually, in the campus context, it refers to dangerous chemicals. MIKE RUSSELL Director of KU Environmental Health and Safety who clean up the materials or assist in the process. Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical has an operating budget of $13,422,605 this year. "We get a lot of calls and the majority of those calls are not big events or have any severe or negative outcomes," Russell said. Regardless of costs, the KU EHS and hazmat teams are ready to respond to situations large and small. Russell also said that, although KU EHS does not keep compiled records of hazmat incidents on campus, they deal with about one large or labor-intensive call a year. Russell said that the incident at the parking garage did not count as such a call. Russell did not provide the student's name, and no charges were filed. He thought the bottle had been returned to either the student or his professor. — Edited by Dave Boyd INDEX Opinion . 5A Sports. 8A Sudoku. 4A Classifieds. 6A Crossword. 4A Cryptquips. 4A !

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2011 / NEWS 3A INTERNATIONAL Syrian protesters vow to oust president ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — More than 5,000 anti-government protesters in Syria took over the main square of the country's third-largest city Monday, vowing to occupy the site until President Bashar Assad is ousted and defying authorities who warn they will not be forced into reforms. The Egypt-style standoff in the central city of Homs followed funeral processions by more than 10,000 mourners for some of those killed in clashes Sunday that a rights group said left at least 12 people dead. It also brought a high-stakes challenge to security forces over whether to risk more bloodshed — and international backlash — by trying to clear the square. The government, however, blamed the weeks of anti-government unrest in the country on ultraconservative Muslims seeking to establish a fundamentalist state and terrorize the people, in the latest official effort to portray the reform movement as populated by extremists. In the past month, Syrian security forces in uniforms and plainclothes have launched a deadly crackdown on demonstrations, killing at least 200 people, according to human rights groups. Many Syrians also say pro-government thugs — known as Shabiba — have terrorized neighborhoods with tactics such as opening fire into the air. The government has in the past blamed "armed gangs" seeking to stir up unrest for many of the killings, such as the ones who fatally shot seven people, including three army officers, on Sunday in Homs. On Monday, the Interior Ministry identified the gangs as "armed Salafi groups," referring to an ultraconservative form of Islam that has its roots in Saudi Arabia and can be found all over the region. The statement carried by the state news agency said they were seeking to establish "emirates" and were "abusing the freedoms and reforms launched in the comprehensive program with a timetable by President Bashar Assad." Assad has been playing on fears of sectarian warfare as he works to quell any popular support for the uprising and has blamed the unrest on a foreign plot to sow sectarian strife — echoing pronouncements from almost every other besieged leader in the region. Earlier in the day, at least six coffins were carried by the massive funeral procession in Homs, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Damascus, said two witnesses. Security forces stayed away from the mourners in an apparent move to avoid confrontation, said the witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals. The witnesses' accounts could not be independently confirmed because Syria has placed tight restrictions on media outlets and expelled foreign journalists. After the funeral, thousands or people marched to Homs' main Saa Jadida Square, or the New Clock Square, where they chanted "people want to bring down the regime" and "peaceful, peaceful," the witnesses said. As protesters gathered, security personnel arrived in the area. Three tanker trucks, usually used by authorities to spray protesters with water, were also parked nearby. Witnesses said the protesters are planning to set up tents and some residents donated water and food. "A sit-in until the regime is brought down," the protesters chanted. Also Monday, a group of Syrian students said in a statement posted on Facebook they will not attend classes for three days starting Tuesday to protests the recent deaths and last week's attack by security forces at Damascus University, where one student was killed In the northern city of Banias, about 300 children released balloons with slogans calling on Assad to leave power, witnesses said. "Leave, uncle criminal," read one balloon. "Leave so that I can enjoy freedom," read another, witnesses added. Ammar Qurabi, head of Syria's National Organization for Human Rights, said the death toll had risen to 12 from the Sunday shootings during protests and a funeral for an anti-government activist. He said eight people died in Homs and a nearby village. He added that four protesters were killed in clashes between security forces and protesters in the northern cities of Latakia and Idlib. Syria's state-run news agency, however, said one policeman was killed and 11 other policemen and security personnel were wounded when an "armed criminal gang" opened fire on them in Talbiseh on Sunday. The latest killings were bouno to increase pressure on Assad, who has tried to quell the popular uprising with a mixture of brute force and concessions. On Saturday, he promised to end nearly 50 years of emergency rule this week, a key demand of the protesters. Syria's widely despised emergency laws have been in place since the ruling Baath Party came to power in 1963, giving the regime a free hand to arrest people without charge and extending state authority into virtually every aspect of life. But he warned there will no longer be "an excuse" for organizing protests once Syria lifts emergency rule and implements reforms. Accuser in Duke rape case charged with murder NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH, N.C. — The woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her in 2006 was charged Monday with murder in the death of her boyfriend. Crystal Mangum, 32, was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and two counts of larceny. She has been in jail since April 3, when police charged her with assault in the stabbing of 46-year-old Reginald Daye. He died after nearly two weeks at a hospital. An attorney for Mangum and officials in the district attorney's office did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Mangum falsely accused the lacrosse players of raping her at a 2006 party for which she was hired to perform as a stripper. The case heightened long-standing tensions in Durham about race, class and the privileged status of college athletes. The district attorney who championed Mangium's claims was later disbarred. North Carolina's attorney general eventually declared the players innocent of a "tragic rush to accuse." Prosecutors declined to press charges for the false accusations, but Mangum's bizarre legal troubles have continued. Last year, she was convicted on misdeaneman charges after setting a fire that nearly torched her home with her three children inside. Friends said Mangum has never recovered from the stigma brought by the lacrosse case and has been involved in a string of questionable relationships in an attempt to provide stability for her children. Vincent Clark, a friend who co-authored Mangum's self-published memoir, said he hopes people don't rush to judgment — echoing one of the off-cited lessons of the lacrosse case itself. FRAT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Clark said Mangum realizes she has mental health problems. "I'm sad for her. I hope people realize how difficult it is being her," Clark said. When Daye's nephew talked to a 911 dispatcher after the stabbing, he referenced the notoriety Mangum still carries. "It's Crystal Mangum. THE Crystal Mangum," said the nephew, whose name was removed from a publicy-released version of the emergency call. "I told him she was trouble from the damn beginning." DLP's role (subhead) "At KU, most of the fraternities are surprisingly open," he said. DI's role (cubbies) Riddle said DLP has an important role in Lawrence's homosexual community. and developed leadership skills. Earles said he could not imagine what his life would be like without DLP. Edited by Becca Harsch "One thing that is kind of a problem in the gay community is you see all these people who happen to be homosexual all the time, but you never get to know them beyond a superficial level," he said. "I wouldn't have that great bond of friendship with people," Earles said. "It's crazy to think that one small decision caused such a ripple of effect." He said since people often meet at bars and clubs, the loud and sometimes intoxicating nature of these situations was not conducive to meaningful conversations. He said DLP gives homosexuals the opportunity to know each other on a deeper level and form a brotherhood. Woodard said DLP has helped him get more involved at the University. Riddle said being involved in the fraternity has fostered personal growth SOME THINGS GO OUT OF STYLE endless summer tan FABRIC TOE Closest tanning to campus that takes Beck 'em Back Beak 'em Bucks DESIGNER SKIN Tanning THE MASTER CALIFORNIA 23rd & Louisiana 785-331-0900 FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK TAN IS ALWAYS IN JAYHAWK SUMMER.com Lawrence • Edwards Campus • Online KU Summer School Enroll Now! • Plan ahead • Earn KU credit • Graduate in four • Advance your degree Contact your academic advisor before enrolling STAND OUT.

Erin Brown for the Kansan Editorial Board Living in fear is not healthy or productive, but simply being aware and alert can make the difference between danger and safety. Awareness should not just be a priority this month, but should be on students' minds every day. EDITORIAL I think we should turn 14th street into a giant slip-n-slide on Stop Day Who's with me?

Last week a man entered two different residence halls and then walked into restrooms and watched women shower. Police have since released photos of a suspect taken from a security camera and the investigation is ongoing. The police believe that the man entered the residence halls by "tailgating" or following another student into the building. This incident is just one example of how something as mundane as a person entering a building can suddenly The smelly people need to stop coming into the Rec.

April is sexual assault awareness month, and during this month students are reminded of safety tips and also the importance of speaking up to prevent sexual assault in our communities.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS RELIGION Educate yourself on Islamic faith to help stop Muslim prejudices Since September 11,2001 Muslimim in America have constantly been targets to religious intolerance. One would think after 10 years the hype of Muslim terrorists would be over. I thought that today people were more educated about the Islamic faith and put aside their prejudices. I hoped Americans no longer took seriously the minority of people who burn Qurans and solicit hate speech toward Muslims. However, I have been sadly proven wrong once again. On March 10, a congressional hearing took place to discuss Islamic terrorism within America in association with radical Muslims living in the U.S. The New York Times wrote that some people at the hearing portrayed Muslims to be a "community ignoring radicalization among its own." Witnesses testified saying things like, "Our children are in danger" and "Americans are sitting around doing nothing about radical extremists." But what are Muslims here in America supposed to do about this issue? Aren't there radical beliefs in every religion that could lead to radical acts? It is disappointing that we have decided to single out Islamic radicals and Muslim communities once again. While it seems that Congress was split on the issue, the fact still remains that Islamic intolerance is still an issue in America. This intolerance is spreading all over the world and has recently landed in France as well. On April 11, France officially banned the wearing of "full faced veils" in public. Muslim women, who wear the niqab for religious purposes, are outraged that they are being limited in expressing their faith. Once again, the Islamic faith is being targeted for Muslim radicalism that now threatens the French Republic. A. J. B. BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com This intolerance toward the Islamic faith needs to be stopped here in America and abroad. It starts with us here at KU. The Muslim Student Association on campus works to educate the student body about Muslim identity. It is our job to learn all we can about what the Islamic religion is truly about and not base our opinions and thoughts on what the world is trying to tell us about a select group of radical Muslims. Education can start with attending prayer at the Islamic Center of Lawrence mosque on Fridays at 1:30 p.m., attend events during the MSA Islam Awareness Week, take an Islam course through the department of religion or research on your own. Religious intolerance will not stop until prejudices can be put aside and individually we can start to move forward in our education of others. Perhaps eventually then, America and the world will become a place where freedom of religion is truly present. COMMENTARY Bond is a junior in religious studies and journalism from Andover Look past the temporary for key to true, lasting happiness Spring is here. After a long, cold, bleak and dark winter, the days are warmer, leaves and flowers are budding and everyone seems happier. As this happiness reases again in me, I renew contemplation of ancient Greek and East Indian understandings of what "happiness" really is. The Bhagavad Gita devotes many verses to explaining how to lead a deeply happy and satisfied existence. This verse is key. We complain about the winter because it is too cold, but spring will always come to warm us again. We allow the coldness of winter — or the unbearable heat of summer — to affect our happiness. We leave our happiness at the mercy of the never-ceasing variances of life The ancient scripture from India, the Bhagavad Gita, says: "The nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed." This verse makes me wonder why we are disturbed by winter at all. Yes, it is cold and gray. But the temperature sensations of the skin and the color sensations of the eyes although undoubtedly they can be sources of pleasure — are not the all-in-all. When we're really feeling happy and uplifted, it's for more significant causes, like being surrounded by people we love and care about. This verse stresses that happiness and distress are impermanent. Yet it seems morose to say that happiness will never last and thus it shouldn't affect us. Actually the Bhagavad Gita distinguishes between two types of happiness. One is a passing emotion based on wealth, recognition, or pleasing our senses, and it forms the peaks of life. Unfortunately, the valleys of distress are as deep as the peaks are high. The other kind of happiness is more fundamental. In Sanskrit it is called "ananda" which translates as "bliss." This is our natural state of existence. But because we're constantly looking for happiness in non-permanent sources of pleasure, and because we spend so much effort merely to avoid distressing situations, we lose touch with this bliss. BY HANNAH SANDAL hsandal@kansan.com The ancient Greeks had a similar conception of two kinds of happiness. They called the lasting, permanent kind "eudaimonia." Eudaimonia roughly translates as "happiness," "flourishing" or "well-being." It encompasses more than just being in a good mood because life is going well. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle reasoned that full and lasting happiness is not attainable by merely accumulating pleasure, wealth or honor. In all of our endeavors we're actually seeking deep fulfillment and happiness, even if we're not aware of it. Our culture's idea of "happiness" — the feeling that comes when we get a new car — is a cheap reflection of what is actually available. But we have to figure out how to attain it. We figure out how to attain it. Greek philosophers charted a path to happiness using self-control, courage, justice, wisdom and compassion as the road signs. Plato wrote that it isn't about suppressing our desires for pleasure or wealth, but instead being in touch with what will provide real happiness. Someone without these road signs struggles against her own chaotic mind. The restless and chaotic mind, on its own, can keep us in constant distress. Similarly, the Bhagavad Gita also speaks of the mind as chaotic, striving in various directions and grasping at what it hopes will bring happiness. Great teachers show another way: A happy life isn't about simply trying to avoid pain and distress while maximizing pleasure. With careful contemplation and inquiry, we will find the source of this deeper happiness. The more in touch you are with that source, external circumstances — and even severe misfortune — will be less able to rob you of your happiness.

ENVIRONMENT BY CHRISTINE CURTIN courtin@kansan.com Coinciding with the celebration of Earth Week, one local grocery store is striving to be more environmentally friendly. The Merc, located at 901 Iowa St., said goodbye to plastic bags this weekend after shoppers that it surveyed requested the switch. Brian Phillips, store operations manager, said the request for providing only reusable bags has been a long time coming. Last year, The Merc gave 210,000 bag refunds, a small discount off a grocery bill, to customers who used reusable sacks. In contrast, the store used 150,000 plastic bags, according to Phillips. "Environmentally sustainable practices are a big part of what we do," Phillips said. "People have kind of come to expect it from The Merc." Customers still have plenty of choices for carrying out their groceries. They have the option of bringing their own reusable bags from home, using cardboard boxes or paper bags provided by the store or not using any bags at all. Though the change may be new to some customers, others say bringing reusable bags has become a habit. Lawrence resident and Merc customer Charles Hart said he had been bringing his own bags for five years. "The little things that we can do to conserve and consume less is always a good thing," Hart said. --- The change is also part of what The Merc stands for. "A statement about how the organization must operate says to be an organization that exemplifies environmental, economic and social sustainability, so it was a part of satisfying that," Phillips said. Other grocery stores around Lawrence are also using environmentally friendly practices. Aldi, 3025 Iowa St., encourages shoppers to bring their own reusable bags. Aldi has a national policy to charge for paper or plastic bags at the register, according to its website. Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., also offers discounts for customers who use their own bags. plastic bags. "A lot of people bring their own bags now, but a lot of people still like plastic bags," said Dan Callan, store manager at Checkers. "We still have a demand for them." Edited by Marla Daniels Chris Bronson/KANSAN Chris Bronson/KANSAN The Merc, 901 Iowa St., will soon be ridding itself completely of plastic bags because of customer input.

It was the first time since the NBA Playoffs transitioned into its current format that a No. 6 and No. 7 seed won game one in the same conference. The Memphis Grizzlies beat the No.2 seed San Antonio Spurs and the New Orleans Hornets beat the No.1 seed Los Angeles Lakers. — espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: Paul Pierce of the Boston Celts with 18. Kirk Hinrich of the Atlanta Hawks was second with 13. — espn.com Bittersweet time for Chicago teams MORNING BREW "I'ts postseason time, baby!" Those are the wonderful words of Dick Vitale. How great of a time it is. Basketball just started, hockey is in the middle of the first round... — it truly is magical, because history is in the making. I I'm a big fan of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff commercials on Versus and NBC. They have been doing them for a few years now, but this year is a little more special because the Chicago Blackhawks are featured after they won their first Stanley Cup last season, breaking a 49-year drought. The end of the commercial says, "History can erase 49 years of history." I am a bigger fan of the Blackhawks and the NHL than the Bulls and the NBA. But this year's Bulls team is trying to do something that hasn't happened since Michael Jordan graced the floor of the United Center. The Bulls are trying to win a title for the first time since 1998, the sixth championship they won since 1991. Chicago's Game 1 comeback against Indiana on Saturday was important. The Bulls were down 10 with 3:28 left in the game, and went on a 16-1 run to win by five. Their first lead came with 48 seconds left after Kyle Korver drained a 25-foot three pointer. What makes the victory even MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com If you remember the 2008 NCAA championship, Derrick Rose was on the other side of the score. Kansas came back from nine points with 2.09 remaining in the game. He was also the reason that game was forced into overtime. Rose made one of two free throws with 10 seconds left to give Memphis a three-point lead. Had he made both of them, Memphis, not Kansas, would have won the championship. But Rose missed, and the rest is history. THE MORNING BREW There are so many Kansas ties in the NBA Playoffs this year. Eight Jayhawks—Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers, Nick Collison, Xavier Henry, Kirk Hinrich, Paul Pierce and Brandon Rush are in the playoffs. After their first game, they combined for a 7-1 record. The lone loss: Brandon Rush's Indiana Pacers to the Chicago Bulls. I'm pretty much over the NHL Playoffs now that the Blackhawks are in a three-to-zero hole to the Vancouver Canucks. Only three times in the NHL has a team comeback from 3-0 to win the series. It's an uphill climb given Vancouver was the best team in the league. That's OK though. I would much rather watch the Bulls, who have a legitimate chance to win. Plus, Kansas is a basketball school, not hockey.

WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 8A NO REGRETS Jamaican runner thrives at Kansas Ada Williams BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com Jerry Wang/KANSAN Denesha Morris, a sophomore sprinter from Manchester Jamaica, committed to Kansas a year and a half ago without even coming to the campus for a recruiting visit. Morris had to make several adjustments since coming to the University, including getting acclimated to the snow and running on a shorter indoor track. Denesha Morris, Manchester, Jamaica, sophomore, is at Kansas continuing a family tradition. Morris' family boasts a deep trap heritage. Both of her parents ran track, as did her older sister, who now lives in England. She also has two brothers, one of whom runs distance for the Louisiana Tech track team. Louisiana Tech had tried to recruit Morris to join her brother in 2009, but Kansas coach Stanley Redwine beat them to it. Morris said she and Redwine spoke mainly on the phone during her recruiting process. She met him for the first time when he attended one of her meets in Jamaica. "I've been doing track ever since I was a little girl," Morris said. "It's just like a family thing." Morris committed to Kansas without even coming on a recruiting visit. When she arrived in December of 2009, she was greeted by an unfamiliar sight - snow. "It was the first time I'd seen snow," Morris said. "It was exciting to see at first, but after awhile I was like 'This is too cold'" Morris has been in Kansas for nearly a year and a half now, but she said she still hasn't completely acclimated to the weather. "Around Christmas is when it's coldest in Jamaica. It's maybe 40, 50 degrees. During the day it's still hot sometimes. It doesn't get that cold," Morris said. The weather wasn't the only thing Morris had to get used to. She had never seen an indoor track before she came to the University. In Jamaica she ran on outdoor tracks, which are larger than indoor tracks. Because of this, Morris experienced an embarrassing moment during her first indoor season. In the 2011 indoor season, Morris was part of the 4x400 team that earned All-American honors for placing seventh at the NCAA Indoor Championships. In addition to the 4x400 meter relay, Morris also runs the 4x100 meter relay and the 100-meter dash. "Running on a relay team is exciting because it's a team effort, it takes four people," Morris said. "The relay puts more pressure on you because if you mess up then the whole team is going to mess up." "Having my family around is the most important thing." Morris said. "famaica has a lot of fun people, fun vibes. It's awesome. But I'm here at KU and I have no regrets." "We've been successful because of the help of God. There's nothing we can do without him," Morris said. "Secondly, we have really good coaches, Coach Redwine and Coach Brewer. They see to it that we work our butts off in practice." — Edited by Jacque Weber KANSASRELAYS After graduating, Morris plans to stay in Kansas and work, but she ultimately wants to go back home to Jamaica.

Jayhawks to give young players experience BASEBALL mvernon@kansan.com BY MIKE VERNON The Jayhawks hope to stay in rhythm and give their young players added experience in tonight's 6 p.m. game against their NAIA opponent, Saint Mary. "It gives our players a possibility to continue to play at game speed and get at-bats," coach Ritch Price said. "Hopefully we'll get an opportunity to play some of our back-up guys and pitch our young guys." The game with Saint Mary was scheduled to replace a Division I game that was rained out earlier in the year. Coach Price said that the program rescheduled a game C against a lower division opponent to get the team at-bats and keep them in rhythm Starting for Kansas (18-18) is senior pitcher Wally Marciel. Marciel had a 3.76 ERA in six starts and six relief appearances. Marciel's start them in rhythm. Marciel may not last too long though, because coach Price is looking to give some of his younger pitchers a chance to show their stuff in a game situation. "My goal is to get all my guys in the game and be able to pitch some of our young guys like Conner Murray and Tyler Smith," Price said, "It's an important game for those guns. They're trying to The Spires (17-28) have struggled with both their hitting and pitching throughout the season. Saint Mary has posted a batting average of .279 this year. of those guys. They're trying to build off of practicing and then summer ball to come back and compete for more playing time next year." The Spires are led at the plate by junior infielder Devin Hupp. Hupp is hitting 431, with a slugging percentage of .642. The Jayhawks bring a .251 batting average into the action. While a .251 may not sound like much, that number was only at .234 just 19 days ago. $ \gamma $ Coach Price has attributed the improved batting numbers to the team maturing and growing up. Senior outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lyle both struggled in their new role as the team's leaders early in non-conference play, but since Big 12 play has started, both have been on a tear. Waters is batting .345, and Lyle is batting .340 in Big 12 play. It didn't take long for the younger jayhawks to follow suit once their leaders got hot at the plate. Freshman Kaiana Eldredge came into April with a batting average of 172 — He has pulled his average up to 214 in the 12 games Kansas has played this month. "It usually takes around 25 games for your freshman to make the adjustment it takes to be successful in the Big 12 conference," Price said. "He's really taken his game to the next level." In tonight's battle against the Spires, Kansas hopes to continue their maturation process while not looking too far ahead to a looming matchup with the Longhorns this weekend. If the Jayhawks stay focused, a special opportunity against a top five opponent team lies ahead this weekend. BASKETBALL For now though, the Jayhawks hope to improve while giving their young players a chance to strut their stuff. Edited by Erin Wilbert There's still hope for Jayhawks BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Some Jayhawks still have a shot for a championship this year. Albeit, they are former About, they are former Kansas players playing in the NBA, but it could be a nice consolation for losing to Virginia Commonwealth in the NCAA tournament. Out of the 16 playoff teams in the NBA this season, six contain Jayhawks on their rosters. There are eight players in total, but only six of them play relevant minutes. Unfortunately for KU fans, top teams such as the Bulls, Spurs and Lakers are void of any Kansas players. Only a handful of these players stands a reasonable chance of even reaching the finals. teaching the finals. Brandon Rusk Indiana Pacers Chance to make finals: Not going to happen. The Pacers played a memorable game against the Bulls, leading for most of the contest until Derrick Rose took over. Rush played 18 minutes and scored seven points, but the Bulls were just too good. Atlanta Hawks Chance to make finals: Nope. Hinrich is only one of two Jayhawks on this list who starts. He scored 13 points with five rebounds in the victory against Orlando, which is the second-best performance on this list. If Hinrich does advance, he will most likely go up against his former Bulls, and there isn't any way he's getting past them. Kirk Hinrich, Memphis Grizzlies Chance to make finals: Try again and Xavier Henry They beat the top-seeded Spurs in Game 1, but San Antonio was without Manu Ginobili. Arthur scored five points and had five fouls in 15 minutes, and it will be hard for him to see the floor with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol playing so well. Henry is out for the playoffs because of a knee injury. Darrell Arthur Nick Collison and Cole Aldrich Oklahoma City Thunder Chance to make finals: Getting warmer. The Thunder has its hands full with a sprightly Nuggets team in the first round. They might win the series, but that may be all they can do. The Thunder are a popular team for many Kansas residents, but they are still too young to deal with the Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks. They have loads of talent, though, and maybe this is their breakout playoff season. Collison contributed little in 26 minutes Sunday night, whereas Aldrich didn't even play. The team called him back up from his third D-League stint after Aldrich took the Tulsa 66ers to the semifinals of the D-League Finals. 1 Mario Chalmers Miami Heat Chance to make finals: Very possible. This team is the biggest wild card in the playoffs. It should easily bypass the 76ers, but how it will fare against the Celtics, Magic or Bulls is the key to the Eastern Conference. Chalmers was limited to six points in 21 minutes Saturday against the 76ers. But his team has a solid shot at a championship run. Paul Pierce Boston Celtics Chance to make finals: Favorite to win the East. He's the best former Kansas player and he plays on the best team out of all of them. The Celtics squeaked past the Knicks in Game 1, while Pierce had his steady 18-point contribution. Pierce could get another ring before Boston's window of opportunity is shut. --- Edited by Jacque Weber THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM ELECTION SUPPORT VOLUME 123 ISSUE 136 BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughtonkansan.com A little more than 20 percent of the student body participated in the Student Senate elections last week. This is an increase of 8.9 percentage points from the previous year, with some professional schools recording their highest number of voters. But this by no means represents the highest voter turnout for elections. In the 2009 elections, 23.4 percent of the student body participated. Some attribute the high turnout that year to the contentiousness of the four coalitions that were running. A few procedural changes may have contributed to the turnout. Multiple polling stations on campus provided easier access and more options for student voters where, historically, only one polling station was available at the Kansas Union. Michael Fee, the elections commission chairman, said at one point last Thursday at the Wescoe Beach polling station, students were "cramming in line" to cast their votes before the deadline. The application of social media networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter also increased with this election season. Justin Hitt, Renew KU's campaign manager, said he found that social media was the most efficient way to reach out to student voters. Fee, a senior from Hiawatha, said the commission also used those networks to tweet about the multiple polling locations and even to create a Facebook event urging students to vote. Another first for the Senate elections was the reminder to vote that appeared anytime someone logged onto a campus computer. There was a link on the University's homepage that allowed students to directly access the online voting site. But while Fee said the commission "did a little bit" by tweeting and with the link, he said most of the credit goes to the coalitions and their campaign efforts. "I think this year they stepped in up and it was really competitive." Fee said. Hitt, a junior from Shawnee, said Renew KU's campaign efforts included tabling, chalking, and engaging students in dialogues. He said it was a good competition and when one coalition thought the other was more engaging, they would step it up a notch. Senate has a long way to go to reach Hitt's goal for voter turnout, which at a minimum would be 25 percent, but he said this is a great start. Alex Rippberger, a junior from Olathe and KUnited coalition member, said KUnited really made an effort to talk with every single student who passed by. He said it was about wanting to hear from the students and getting to know them and what they want to see at the University rather than pushing information about KUnited. Echoing Hitt's sentiments regarding the competition, Rippberger said he always tried to get just one more vote. Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence and the student body president-elect, described the process as "word-of-mouth campaigning." "Everyone knew a unique group of students to appeal to because we had a huge coalition with a ton of people involved," Johnson said. Johnson said she views the turn-out as a huge success, but said the PERCENT OF STUDENT BODY VOTERS: 2008: 16.5 percent at 4,207 votes 2009: 23.4 percent at 5,921 votes 2010: 12.09 percent at 3,063 votes 2011: 21 percent at 5,192 votes important thing is that the num bers continue to go up. "The important thing is to continue to make sure students know how relevant it is to their lives," Johnson said. Edited by Sarah Gregory ASTRONOMY Pluto's story includes KU alum who found it I am ready to learn every new thing. Artem Bagiev/KANSAN **Artemis Baskov/KARAK** Michael Bryers presents his book *Pervial's Planet*. The novel was inspired by the story of KUI alum and astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Clyde Tombaugh couldn't have known how heavily the odds were stacked against him. In 1928, he finished high school in Burdett, Kan., but had no career prospects or money for college. He spent his time building telescopes, grinding the mirrors by hand in a basement for hours. He couldn't know that the stock market crash and the dust bowl years would soon bring ruin across the plains. Tombaugh sent a letter to an observatory in Flagstaff, N.M., hoping for a job. Two years later, Tombaugh discovered the planet Pluto. Author Michael Byers tells the story in his novel, "Percival's Planet," which he discussed Tuesday at the Kansas Union. It was originally scheduled in February to fall among the Kansas statehood sesquicentennial, Tombaugh's birthday and the anniversary of Pluto's discovery, but was delayed by this winter's ice storms. Byers was introduced Tuesday by Steven Hawley, physics and astronomy professor at the University of Kansas, who participated as an astronaut in the Hubble Telescope missions that produced many of the space photographs on display at the discussion. The department of physics and astronomy opened the event with a guided tour of Tombaugh I probably always will," he said. The search for Pluto was driven by Percival Lowell, a wealthy Bostonian who threw his fortune behind the search for what he called "Planet X." Lowell predicted the location of the planet based on calculations that showed the planet Uranus wobbling in response to some object's gravitational pull. memorabilia and modern science exhibits. Dan Dutcher, a junior from Wichita, volunteered to help out even though he no longer studied astronomy. He said he had enjoyed astonomy ever since he first observed the stars on camping tines as a young boy. It was Lowell's observatory that Tombaugh wrote to in 1928, and the astronomers gave him the job of searching the sky for Planet X. The work was tedious, and done in the dark and cold of an observatory at night. Tombaugh spent hours and months staring at photographic plates that contained thousands of stars and other objects, searching for one dot that would appear out of place. "I've done this; it is soul-crushing," said Bruce Twarog, physics and astronomy professor at the University. "You just sit there with this piece of equipment for hours on end." "I probably always will," he said. In February 1930, Tombaugh did find a dot out of place - Pluto. The discovery instantly made him a renowned astronomer and opened SEE PLUTO ON PAGE 3A CAMPUS Project uplifts LGBT youth BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com There was nothing too sacred or controversial for author and sex advice columnist Dan Savage to discuss in his speech to the 500 students who packed Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union Tuesday night. Yet it was possibly the least controversial subject, the "It Gets Better" project, which Savage created, which garnered the majority of the crowd's attention. Newt Gingrich's marriages, marijuana legalization and Biblical hypocrisy. The project, which Savage began in response to last year's string of LGBT teen suicides, features more than 10,000 online videos of people telling lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender youth about their experiences and ensuring the watchers that "It Gets Better." The videos have more than 40 million views. During his speech, Savage said that the goal of the program was simple: "Reach these kids with the message that it gets better before these kids hurt themselves. Mission fucking accomplished." "The kids who most need to hear from us are in the churches, schools and homes where we would least Savage said that he received numerous emails from people saying that the project had changed or saved their lives. He said it was important for LGBT kids dealing with problems such as bullying to hear from LGBT adults who had gone through the same experiences. But in order to reach the kids and save lives, Savage said the project first had to have a way to make the message accessible to those who needed it most. While many have lauded Savage's "It Gets Better" project as a great way of reaching out to LGBT youth who are going through hard times, others expressed concerns with the project's overall message. "We clearly weren't the only people who had heard these stories about these queer kids and ached inside," Savage said. "It's telling queer youth that there's nothing that can be done about their situation right now," Gadd-Nelson said. "It's saying that it's completely out of your control, bullies will be bullies and you'll just have to get used to it." Rachel Gadd-Nelson, the educational outreach coordinator of KU Queers and Allies, which cosponsored Savage's talk, expressed concerns that the "It Gets Better" project did not work to solve current issues, but instead encouraged LGBT youth to tough it out. be invited" he said.

Thomas Robinson cited for battery BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com "We are aware of this situation due to the fact that Thomas notified me immediately following his being interviewed by the police that morning, at approximately 2 a.m., about an incident that Kansas forward Thomas Robinson, who is expected to be the focal point of next year's team, was cited for misdeanor battery for an April 10 incident outside of The Cave, 1200 Oread Ave. Robinson Robinson occurred just prior" coach Bill Self said. "Thomas is fully cooperating and we will not have any further commen't about this situation as the investigation plays out." Robinson, according to witnesses, was one of several basketball players there — the Morris twins, Conner Teahan, Mario Little and Brady Morningstar were also there — but at 20 he was the only underage team member at the 21-and-up club. According to the police report, though, Robinson was not under the influence of alcohol at the time. "We just saw some pushing from the front of the crowd," said Matt Rissien, a senior from Overland Park, who said he witnessed the incident. "And then The Cave security were yelling with the players at the front. Things got really heated and the players and security guys were yelling at each other, until eventually what seemed like 10 cop cars pulled up, and the players and their group were separated across the street, with The Cave employees on the other side of the street near The Cave." Rissien said the police then questioned bystanders about what happened. "It all happened really fast," he said. Robinson is a sophomore and announced earlier this month that he would be returning to Kansas for his junior season after speculation that he would enter the NBA draft. He is the second basketball player to be cited with misdemeanor battery over the course of this school year. Senior Mario Little was arrested for a Dec. 16 incident in which he pushed his girlfriend into a sink and got into an altercation with Alex DeLeon, a catcher for the Kansas baseball team. The police report lists two victims, both employees of The Cave, and states that neither of them were injured.

ADMINISTRATION New dean for business school BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Some say you can't go home again. Neeli Bendapudi says, "Yes, you can." Bendapudi, a marketing professor at Ohio State University. will take over dean of the School of Business on Aug. 1. The new dean is no stranger to the Lawrence campus because she earned her doctorate Bendapudi 100 here in 1994. Bendapdi said she had a strong connection with the University, where she and family members have completed a total of seven degrees. "I remember this campus and this University as being a great place to be a champion," Bendapudi said. "Our core purpose will be to make it a great place to learn." She said she had already reconnected with several members of the school's faculty and staff and was looking forward to being among them again. William Fuerst, the current dean, will step down after an 11-year tenure and take up a faculty position in the school. The new dean was chosen from a pool of 165 candidates by a search committee led by James Guthrie, the William and Judy Docking professor of business, and Mike Michaelis, president and chairman of the board of Emprise Bank. Guthrie said Bendapudi was a person of high energy with experience in private industry and academics. He said the search committee was looking for someone with the capability to strengthen both the undergraduate and graduate programs of the business school as well as represent the school in partnerships with other institutions. "Neeli Bendapudi hits on all cylinders," Guthrie said. "She understands the needs of business and how business operates." At Ohio State's Fisher College of Business, Bendapudi founded and served as the executive director of the Initiative for Managing Services, a center that represents businesses in partnerships with the university.

Bendapudi also worked at Huntington National Bank as a consultant, chief customer officer and executive vice president.

Encouraged by the Obama administration's top courtroom lawyer, the justices said the problem of regulating greenhouses gas should be left to the Environmental Protection Agency. It is too complex and unwieldy to be handled by a single federal judge acting on a "public nuisance" lawsuit, some of them said. A defeat for the lawsuit would put more pressure on the administration and the EPA to enforce limits on carbon pollution in the face of strong opposition from congressional Republicans, environmental advocates said. "The stakes will be very high. The question is whether they can deliver," said David Doniger, a climate change expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. The issue debated before the high court Tuesday was not whether greenhouse gases are causing global climate change, but who should regulate these gases. In their comments and questions, it became clear that the justices - liberals and conservatives alike - were also dubious of allowing a single judge to decide on the regulation of greenhouse gases. This "sounds to me a lot like what the EPA does," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a New York state lawyer who was defending the lawsuit. A judge cannot be "a super EPA" who sets and enforce detailed regulations, she said. Four years ago, the justices cleared the way for the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Since then, the government has adopted stricter standards for new motor vehicles, which take effect next year. But regulation of power plants has stalled. The agency says it will propose new rules in July.

His family then moved to Burdett in 1922. Pluto’s name comes from the Roman god of the underworld. An English schoolgirl suggested the name because Pluto was far away from the sun in a dark world much like the Roman underworld. — Tuesday, February 18, 1930 While working as a researcher at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., Clyde Tombaugh discovered the (former) ninth planet in the solar system ending the search for the mysterious Planet X. — 1930 — 1997 After Pluto, Tombaugh was an asteroid. the way for him to complete a bachelor's and master's degrees at the University before beginning a long career as an astronomer at New Mexico State University. said. "It's ridiculous. It's amazing." Byers showed several photographs of the astronomer later in his life, and said he thought Tombaugh invariably appeared happy. The author also said that Tombaugh, studying plates in New Mexico in 1930, had no way of knowing how apparently futile his task was. No one discovered until later that Lowell's calculations were incorrect. There was no tell-tale wobble in Uranus' movements, and the astronomers had no reason to expect to find anything in that section of the sky. The discovery was a pure coincidence. "It never should have happened," Byers The International Astronomical Union demoted Pluto to the status of a dwarf planet in 2006. But many still consider Pluto a planet because of its historical significance. Tombaugh died in Las Cruces, N.M., in 1997. But in a sense, Tombaugh may now get closer to Pluto than he ever expected. Edited by Caroline Bledowski The New Horizons, an unmanneoned spacecraft launched by NASA in 2006, is carrying one ounce of Tombough's ashes on its way to Pluto and beyond. It is currently halfway there and expected to reach the dwarf planet in 2015. —1932—1938 Tombaugh actually discovered Pluto before studying astronomy at the University of Kansas. He enrolled in 1932 and graduated with his bachelor's degree in 1936 and master's in 1938. He worked at Lowell Observatory during the summers September 13,2006 Pluto was reclassified in 2006 as a dwarf planet, reducing the solar system to eight classical planets and a group of trans- Neptunian dwarf planets. Graphic by Ben Sullivan Sources: Kansas Historical Society, American Academy of Achievement LGBT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Savage addressed this concern during and after the speech. NATIONAL "There are some kids out there who waiting it out is their only option. They are in dire circumstances because there's no support. What do we tell those kids?" he asked. "There are certain kids that we have to recognize that there aren't any situations they are in where they can make it better, I don't think the campaign promotes complacency." During the speech, Savage did express regrets that the first video he and his husband, Terry Miller, posted was too passive, but said that the video wasn't meant to stand alone. Savage added that many other people posted videos about actions they took to improve their lives and change their situations. The "It Gets Better" campaign is one of the reasons that Student Union Activities brought Savage to Campus. "During these four years, it's a very stressful environment with a lot of pressures," Kris Velasco, SUA's social issues coordinator, said. "The message that he has really speaks to KU. We have a very accepting culture, but I think that it can go even further." SUA opted to help take the "It Gets Better" message further by having KU students submit their own "It Gets Better" videos to the project's Website. Velasco said that the video series received positive feedback and even messages from people wanting to transfer to the University because of the accepting environment the videos presented. Savage also fielded questions after the speech. Reactions from the audience throughout the speech varied from laughter to applause. Savage only received boos one time when he poked fun at the Jayhawk. "I just saw this chicken out of the corner of my eye," he said. After the boos, he anologized. "I am sorry, a hawk." According to Velasco, Savage received $18,300 from the University to speak.

BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com A cool, sunny and breezy morning greeted Sarah Bergkamp, Garden Plain junior, as she headed to Hopkinton, Mass, along with thousands of other athletes to start the Boston Marathon on April 18. "The weather was really nice. It was a little windy but other than that it was good running weather," Bergkamp said. The Boston Marathon started in 1897 and is the world's oldest annual race, attracting runners from around the world. Sunday's race started in Hopkinton and ended in downtown Ladron made the trip with a for Boston, covering 26.2 miles of roadway and passing through a total of eight cities. Edited by Amanda Sorell "Every town was really cool because it had its own personality. They had like the whole town out there cheering the runners on, so it was definitely the best running atmosphere I've ever been in," Diego Ladron, a junior from Shawnee, said. Ladron posted a finish time of three hours, two minutes, 19 seconds, while Bergkamp completed the race in 3:34:10. Ladron and Bergkamp were able to team up with other Jayhawks to help them through the race. mer KU cross country teammate Levi Huseman, and Ladron said he also met other alumni competing in the race. Ladron said that spectators seemed to notice the athletes wearing crimson and blue. "During the race I definitely heard every minute or so, 'Rock Chalk!' or 'Go Jayhawks!' or 'Go Kansas!'" Ladron said. Now that the competitors have completed the race, both Ladron and Bergkamp teamed up with current KU law student Lisa McDermott after the pair met at the athlete's village before the race began and worked together for the first half of the race. McDermott completed the course in 3:41:49. Bergkamp said they will take some time to recover before they begin another training regimen. Ladron said his next undertaking will be the ING Marathon held in New York City in November before he returns to Boston for the 2012 marathon. While Bergkamp is unsure when her next marathon will be, she plans to return to competition with half-marathons and encourages others to consider giving the marathon a try. "I think everyone should at least attempt a marathon at some point in their life." Bergkamp said. —Edited by Dave Boyd CAMPUS Sustainability center holds office supply swap BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com Ever wonder how much the University spent on office supplies last year? $920,000. It's a number the Center for Sustainability wants to decrease. On Tuesday, the center held its first Spring Cleaning and Supply Swap in the Kansas Union for departments to swap office supplies. Jeff Severin, center director, said the swap was intended to help save money and make better use of office supplies. The swap came as many departments face a procurement deadline, Severin said. The more supplies these departments could acquire through the swap for free, the fewer they would have to order. "It's a good time to clean out the supply closet and get rid of what you know you won't be using and restock the things you are going to need," Severin said. In late March and early April, offices were invited to donate unneeded supplies. On Tuesday, those supplies, from mail envelopes to ink cartridges, were laid out on several tables for other departments to choose from. "So far, people who have participated are really glad they've had the opportunity to clean out their supply closets and help some other departments out," Severin said. "I think there's a good sense on campus that we need to be thinking Caylin Kusmin, an intern at the center who helped oversee the event, said that more than 40 individuals representing offices across the University showed up to take supplies. about working together more." The swap is part of the Green Office program conducted by the center. In exchange for adopting certain sustainability practices, like using environmentally-friendly ink, offices are recognized and are allowed to use a "green office" emblem outside their entrances and in communications. "It gives them an opportunity to share what it is their office is focusing on to reduce their overall impacts," Severin said. —Edited by Sarah Gregory 4-20 SHOW TALIB K WELI W/ LIVE BAND tickets still available!

After introducing herself, this woman asked me if I had finished all of my general education requirements yet. After telling her that I had, she moved on and told me about some of her coalition's platforms. I remained confused about the first question through our whole conversation. When she left, I read the handbill she handed me earlier. The first bullet point on the piece of paper mentioned a plan to reduce the number of general education courses required for students. I wondered why we would do that. I'm willing to believe there are some good reasons to require less general education courses. I feel it would be inappropriate of me to argue against a democratically elected senate when I didn't even bother to look at the issues the two sides were debating until the week of the election. This reminds me of a complaint I've heard numerous times from friends and classmates: "When am I going to use this in the real world?" Ignore the fact that nearly a quarter of a person's lifespan doesn't take place in reality. The biggest problem with this complaint is the assumption that a person knows how his or her future is going to unfold. The purpose of a rhetorical question is to make your audience draw the same conclusions as you without telling them to do it. It loses part of its strength when you don't actually know the answer to the question yourself. A professor once told a class I was in that people use 10 percent of what they prepare for, but they never know which 10 percent it is going to be. Maybe I'm naive to believe the future will hold some surprises, but this strikes me as a much better mantra than, "When am I going to use this?" It's foolish to avoid information just because you didn't choose to learn it yourself, and it leads me into a rhetorical question of my own. If you're only interested in learning job skills, why did you choose a university over a trade school? I thought the defining difference between the two was that you learned subjects outside your professional field at a university. I also believe that students will probably use their general education at some point in their future. Math gives students a chance to exercise their problem-solving and pattern-recognition skills. Science offers students a framework for questioning the world and instills a distaste for taking facts at face value. Social studies is a record of what human beings are capable of accomplishing and as such defines the standards we will be held to for the rest of our lives. English is probably the most important of all, as it teaches both the concepts of presenting ideas with the audience in mind and of following arbitrary rules, both of which will definitely be needed at some point in life. Argue that less general education courses should be required, but please don't tell me there's no value in practicing some of these important skills as a professional.

Letter to the Editor Medical marijuana helps patients and the state Within the last two legislative sessions, I introduced two comprehensive medical marijuana bills to the Kansas House of Representatives to assist Kansans with debilitating medical conditions and severe pain like cancer, AIDS, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C. The latest "Cannabis Compassionate Care Act" bill would legalize the use of medical marijuana for certain debilitating medication conditions, provide registration of patients and strong regulation of a compassion centers, allow a defendant to assert the medical purpose for using marijuana as a defense and decrease the number of criminal prosecutions relating to marijuana. Finally, it would provide a very conservative $1 million increase in net tax revenues to our state coffers to help reduce our severe budget deficits. As of this date, I continue to receive a tremendous amount of emails, calls and support from all over the state. Fifty-eight percent of adults in Kansas support the legalization of medical marijuana, according to a poll conducted last year by SurveyUSA. Communication from constituents is one of the most decisive factors for your legislator when considering an issue. I encourage you to Take Action this Wednesday, April 20, by visiting www.kannabisproject.com,www.kannabisproject.com and by contacting your legislator to voice your support. Gail Finney is a state representative for the 84th District of Wichita. The Weekly Poll KANSAN.COM --- The argument to legalize marijuana is: □A fine one, because it should be legal! □Lame, cliché, never going to happen. Medical marijuana should be considered.

You have 140 characters, good luck! Waiters need to be on the lookout for tequila-drinking infants There are plenty of reasons to love chain restaurants. The quirky assortment of memorabilia on the walls gives you something new and interesting to look at whenever you want to avoid talking to your family. The colorful picture menus help give you an idea of what your mozzarella sticks will look like before they arrive. And the friendly, down-home atmosphere created by the passionate teenaged staff always keeps you coming back for more. But an unfortunate trend that has swept through America in recent weeks threatens to destroy the very fabric of chain restaurant culture. It is an ever-growing menace to the sterling reputation of chain restaurants everywhere. And if it continues, people might be forced to eat local, or worse — eat at home. BY ALEX NICHOLS I'm talking, of course, about drunk babies. First, a 15-month-old in Michigan was served tequila instead of apple juice at Applebee's. Then, a toddler at a Florida Olive Garden was given a kid's cup full of sangria. Most recently, a four-year-old who ordered a milkshake at a Chili's in Chicago was given a Mudslide instead. I don't mean that babies are sitting at home, getting wasted on Wild Turkey, then deciding to get together and lay siege to their local BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com Bennigan's for kicks. I mean that three chain restaurants in the last week alone have somehow accidentally served alcohol to very tiny children without even seeing an ID. Now, you may be thinking, "Wait, how could drunk babies be a bad thing? That sounds adorable!" If you actually are thinking that, you're a terrible person, but you also sort of make a good point. The concept of a drunk baby is pretty hilarious. Imagine something as cute as a baby, which is already dumb and nonsensical, becoming even more dumb and nonsensical by drinking a margarita out of, say, a formula bottle. Funny, right? Unfortunately, it's not nearly as humorous in practice as it is in theory. As it turns out, real drunk babies require immediate medical attention. (Maybe it would work better as a cartoon?) The parents of the accidental lil' drunkard in Michigan have already sued Applebee's for "emotional distress and medical expenses," according to the Associated Press. In all three cases, the mixed drink mix-ups resulted in headaches for the parents and hangovers for the kids. Many restaurants have already maneuvered to change where and how they make and serve drinks, but I think greater efforts should be made to educate workers (who are surely eager to learn how to better serve the customer) on alcohol policy. When I interviewed for a job at Applebee's back in high school, I was asked literally hundreds of questions, including tricky ones like, "Do you approve of employee theft?" This was a great way of weeding out people who did approve of employee theft. The same should be done with alcohol. Restaurants should ask applicants whether they consider it appropriate to serve alcohol in sippy cups, and they should be tested on their ability to differentiate between grown adults and alcohol-seeking babies wearing fake mustaches. (Fake mustache technology is incredible these days.) Whatever they do, it needs to be done well. I couldn't bear to see these restaurants go out of business. If they did, I'd have to spend a bunch of money buying random crap to tack on the walls of my unused dining room. It's a comfort thing. Nichols is a senior from Stilwell in creative writing.

Nine losses. One victory. The softball team has been competing in arguably the most difficult conference in the nation. There are seven Big 12 teams ranked in the top 25. No 5 Texas, No 13 Missouri, No 14 Nebraska, No 15 Oklahoma, No 16 Baylor, No 18 Oklahoma State and No 19 Texas A&M. Texas Tech is right outside the Top 25, recieving 24 votes. "I feel like being the underdog is actually what we want to do," freshman Kendra Cullum said. "It is definitely a privilege to be playing on the same field as those teams." The jayhawks played and have lost to each of these ranked opponents except Texas A&M, whom they will face at the end of the month. Kansas earned its only conference victory when it beat Texas Tech on April 13. "This is good for us," coach Megan Smith said. "It is going to be very similar to what we see in conference." Today, the layhawks are playing Tulsa, a non-conference opponent. Even so, Tulsa is a very competitive team, boasting a 33-11 record. Freshman pitcher Aimee Creger holds a 1.03 ERA with a 15-2 record. She has potential to shut down the Jayhawk offense. The offense has been performing extremely well at times, but other times opposing pitchers have completely shut it down. Kansas has faced some of the top pitcher in the nation, including Texas' Blaire Luna. The offense has found ways in the past to fight back, but in the big picture has not been successful. "We need to focus on each individual pitch and not be overwhelmed by the seven innings" Smith said. The team thinks that by refocusing on individual aspects of the game it will be successful against Tulsa. The Jayhawks are battling injuries, forcing them into lineup changes. That could be affecting the communication on the field. Even with many changes in the past several weeks, the team has not stopped thriving as underdogs and that will not change today against Tulsa. "Anything can happen on any given day," Cullum said. "A number is just a number. Softball is just a game and you have to play well to win it." First pitches are scheduled for 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux 111 Howard Ting/KANSAN Sophomore outfielder Alex Jones picks up a ground ball batted by the Baylor Bears at Arrocha Ballpark on Sunday afternoon.

Kansas defeated Saint Marv 11-5. 5 FINAL R 11 11 FINAL R 5 5 "There's nothing more pleasing as a coach when you get the opportunity to play your backup guys," coach Ritch Price said. "I think it's important in their development." Seventeen position players took the field for defense or got in the game for at least one at-bat. For some it was likely the last time this season they will have that shot, but it was still a chance to showcase how they've improved. And nothing can substitute for live, in-game experience. The mid-week make-up game against the St. Mary Spires, an NAIA program, provided a chance for the underclassmen and backup players to take the field in a game without conference chips on the table before a tough Thursday matchup with No. 4 Texas. Jayhawks get glimpse of potential future stars Well, last night the youth showed. In a good way. "It's good for them to get the experience and get the at-bats," said sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon. "In a game like this you should be ready to go in and a lot of them were. Some of them had some good Freshman pitcher Tyler Smith pitched for the first time since facing Baylor on April 3. The Spires scored two earned runs off Smith, who coach Price said "has talent and a good arm." No doubt, it's a small sample and nothing to get too high or too low about. For young players in backup roles, the real opportunity to begin building their college resume comes in the summer. In June and July, in the humidity and mostly out of sight, players get the chance to play almost every night and work on holes in their game with the focus on Smith and Brown. The Kansas baseball team is young. It's been said since practices started, back when snow covered the then-pristine turf at Hoglund Ballpark in late January. BY ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com "He came in as a high profile player and he has really good upside," Price said. "He's just going through some of those freshmen adjustments kids have to make in order to be a good player down the road." "The summer will be important at bats." Brown struck out twice, but it's unsurprising that coaches project him as an everyday player. Perhaps the game showed a peek of what Kansas baseball might look like in the years to come. Freshman outfielder Jordan Brown, a Blue Springs High School product, got significant playing time for the first time since struggling in early season'non-conference games. As for the freshmen who consistently get playing time, namely second baseman Kaiana Eldredge and relief pitcher Frank Duncan, they got the night off. Well, Duncan almost had the night off. He filled in as bat boy, or was urged to anyway. for both guys," Price said. "They'll get to play 50 games and I think they'll learn through the adversity they've faced this season." "The senior pitchers probably put him there," senior right fielder Casey Lytle said. "They saw he did well over the weekend so they thought they'd reward him by putting him on the bucket and picking up the bats today." Edited by Corey Thibodeaux Sophomore outfielder Taylor Hart and freshman catcher Thomas Hougland both pinch hit late in the game for their second at-bat of the season. Hart drew a walk and Hougland struck out looking.

Lawrence can feel like Chicago West at times, and they have had two immensely entertaining teams playing with everything on the line these past couple of weeks.

Hairston and James McAdoo Barnes, the team's co-leader in scoring at 15.7 points per game, had said from the beginning of the season that he wasn't necessarily a one-and-done player, but as his play improved throughout the season — 40 points in UNCs' ACC tournament win over Clemson, 21 points per game in four NCAA tournament outlures — fans had to wonder if the lure of the NBA might change his mind. In his statement, Barnes said he does have the dream of playing pro ball. But with a possible NBA lockout looming and the chance at a national title, his path pointed him back to Chapel Hill. "Opportunities, both beneficial and life-changing, can seem to make the next phase of my journey an easy decision," he said in the statement.

WWW.KANSAN.COM CLIMB TO THE TOP Orphanage to Olympics CONJI TIO Reese Hoffa will compete against high-ranking shot putters at the shot put invitational tonight at Eighth Street. Hoffa had to live through many childhood struggles before he succeeded as a shot putter. Howard Ting/KANSAN BY GEOFFREY CALVERT ocalvert@kansan.com PAGE 10A Very few things can measure up to what Reese Hoffa has already been through. Hoffa competes tonight against seven shot putters ranked in the top 25 in the world, but then again, he's ranked No. 2. No matter how stacked the shot put field will be for tonight's shot put invitational, which is held on Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets, tonight will not be the most difficult for Hoffa. His mother was 13 years old when she gave birth to Reese's brother Lamont and 16 years old when Reese was born. Reese was only three years old when he and Lamont accidentally burned their house down. "My brother was playing with a lighter, putting the flame out on the curtains," Hoffa said. "He ran out of water, so he put the lighter on the bed and went to refill the cup of water. I got a flame going." By the time his brother was back, the entire curtain was ablaze. The boys summoned their mother, but it was too late. The room went up in flames, leaving Hoffa's family to bounce around apartments. One day, his mother decided she couldn't raise Lamont and Reese anymore. Their mother took them to an orphanage. "She gives me a hug, goes down stairs and leaves." Hoffa said. "It was traumatizing," Hoffa said. "I just sat in a chair. I was numb. I was asking, 'Why am I here?' Reese said he didn't understand that his mom gave her two boys up for adoption because she was too young to raise them. Instead, Reese thought she didn't want him because he burned their house down. Hoffa was adopted by a family in Georgia, where he spent the rest of his childhood. The family didn't adopt his brother Lamont, though. Reese took up the shot put at the suggestion of a high school coach. He won the Georgia state championship and received a scholarship from the University of Georgia. Hoffa was able to find his mom and still keeps contact with her. He rarely talks to his brother. Three years after graduating from Georgia, Hoffa competed for the U.S. Olympic team in Athens. Greece. He wasn't used to the intimate street environment in most European countries, and he admits he didn't throw well. With experience, he said competing in the street has gotten much easier. Now, he is excited for himself and for fans about the shot put being held in the streets for the first time in the United States. "I want them to be loud and be excited," Hoffa said. "We've got a great crew of guys that can throw far. I love this environment." The Kansas Relays will run today through Saturday. Multiple athletes who competed in the Olympics are scheduled to compete, including Lauryn Williams in the women's 100 meters, Veronica Campbell-Brown in the women's 200 meters and Bershaw "Batman" Jackson in the men's 400-meter hurdles. Edited by Caroline Bledowski DeLeon's two homers help beat St. Mary BASEBALL mvernon@kansan.com BY MIKE VERNON myernon@kansan.com Seventeen batters and five pitchers saw playing time at Hoglund Ballpark for Kansas in Tuesday evening's 11-5 victory against its NAIA opponent, Saint Marv. Not only are the Jayhawks above .500 for the first time in more than a month, but it was a chance for the younger players to see significant time on the field. "I was pleased that everyone who is a position player got a chance to get into the game and get an at-bat today," coach Ritch Price said. "Those guys grind every day and don't get the reward of having their name on the lineup card as much as they'd like." The Jayhawks came into Tuesday's game rolling after winning three consecutive Big 12 series, and kept things moving along smoothly against the Spires. "I just hope that it keeps you at game speed, and helps your rhythm as you prepare to play again Thursday," Price said. the Jayhawks had planned it. Starting pitcher Wally Marciel walked the leadoff batter of the game, and third basemen Devin Hupp followed with a home run to left field. But the game didn't open how The Jayhawks responded in the bottom of the first by getting runners on first and second base with two outs. The inning was killed after Brandon Macias was thrown out trying to steal third base. After the first inning hiccups, the Jayhawks settled and took control of the game in the second.

After Kansas jumped out to its comfortable lead, it brought in senior Nolan Mansfield to pitch and sophomore Jordan Dreiling to play third. "I was pleased that everyone who is a position player got a chance to get into the game." Things continued to go smoothly for Kansas in the fifth inning, when two hits led to three more Kansas runs. Sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon hit his second home run of the game, hitting the Jayhawks' first multihome run game since May 8 of last season. "He struggled with his command." Price said. "He's not to get impression on the coaching staff that he wanted. In 2/3 innings on the mound, Smith gave up two hits for two runs. "My first at-bat was a 3-1 count, I was sitting fastball and I got one," sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon said. "The other home run was a 2-1 count, and I was looking fastball again and I got it." RITCH PRICE Coach Hes got to get out there relax, and focus on the catchers glove and throw to the glove." Freshman pitcher Tyler Smith took the mound in the seventh inning. He had only pitched two innings all season coming into the game. Smith didn't leave the With a 9-5 lead heading into the seventh, Price decided it was time to see what some of his more bench-ridden players could do. Sophomore Taylor Hart walked in his third at-bat of the year, and scored off of a wild pitch after making it to third base off of a single. Sohomore pitchers, Jordan Jakubov and Matt Kohorst closed out the final two innings, only giving up one hit to the Spires. Even though, Hart was the only Kansas batter off the bench to get on base, senior outfielder Casey Lytle said he thought it was a good experience for all of the young batters who got action Tuesday. "You always look forward to getting your at-bats, and sometimes they're rare to come by for freshman." Lytle said. "You love the opportunity every time you get it." FOOTBALL Edited by Corey Thibodeaux Holding on to hope for 2011 season BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com STATE OF CALIFORNIA ing with a loss to the D. AA team and ending with a blowout in the Border Showdown, the 2010 Kansas football season was nothing short of a disappointment. Other losses included a 55-7 defeat at Baylor (a Baylor school record), a 59-7 drubbing by Kansas State and a 45-10 loss to Texas A&M. Kansas' quarterback play was inconsistent at best, the coaches were trying to implement their own system and many players were holdovers from the Mark Mangino era. You could go on if you were so inclined, but don't. There were so many factors working against Kansas football in 2010 that anything more than five wins was going to be a pleasant surprise. That's not to excuse the poor performances in those blowouts, but rather to offer a glimmer of hope for 2011. The offensive line will be more experienced this season. James Sims will return as the leading rusher and he'll be teamed with four-star recruit Darrian Miller, who's been praised by coach Turner Gill multiple times throughout spring practices. The safety tandem of Keeston Terry and Bradley McDougald will excite fans as well. Then there's the big question: quarterback. Without looking, I can't think of many freshmen who left big marks at a BCS conference school. Jordan Webb was no different. He struggled, much like the other quarterbacks on the Kansas roster. However, the jump from freshman to sophomore is big at any position in any sport. And as a quarterback in a major conference? It's astronomical. Nobody is predicting Webb to become Payton Manning. But with a year of game experience and more than a year of acclimating himself with the new offensive scheme, Webb could have a breakout year in 2011. But while success may not show up in the wins columns, blowout losses against teams like Baylor and Kansas State aren't going to happen in 2011. There's too much talent this year for that to happen. The talent is young, which might not translate into victories right away, especially with that schedule. But with potentially explosive playmakers on both sides of the ball, another Georgia Tech type of upset is very possible. This glimmer needs an explanation, though. The 2011 football schedule is going to be brutal. There will be games on the road at Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas, as well as a home game against Oklahoma and the annual contest with Missouri in Kansas City. Much like 2010, the victories might not pile up this fall. So while the results may not be there this fall, fans should be patient. Things are slowly improving over at the Anderson Family Football Complex. Edited by Amanda Sorell .

Construction is expected to be completed at the end of this year. Aaron Harris/KANSAN BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Builders are employing some unusual methods in the construction site south of Learned Hall. Crews are currently pouring cement for the foundation of the Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center, also called the M2SEC. It will include isolated sections of cement pilings, which will insulate the building from the vibrations of the outside environment, such as traffic. That protection will be important to researchers using extremely sensitive instruments. "This is a very,very specialized research building," said Mark Muller, project manager for Treanor Architects. "It will be the only one of its kind in the Midwest." Muller compared the University's M2SEC to the national laboratories at Lawrence Berkeley and Oakridge. Muller said the new building will not only house laboratories, but will itself be a kind of laboratory for the study of different types of building materials. Researchers working inside will be able to remove specially designed wall panels and replace them with others designed for insulation and heat retention to study their qualities. They will be able to perform similar "plug-and-play" experiments with the windows in some rooms. According to Muller and the School of Engineering these green design elements qualify the building for LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. be similar to a "huge paperweight," and that researchers would bolt the test engines to it directly. Engineers from the University will use the specially designed laboratories to research unmanned aircraft, engines and wireless communication. The plan calls for the engine testing lab to be built on a separate foundation so that the forces generated will be isolated from the main building. Muller said the foundation would "It's pretty complicated," said Glen Marotz, associate dean of the School of Engineering. "it's like a stage dance where everyone has to be doing the right thing at the right time." One facility is designed to contain a reinforced wall against which researchers will bend and break construction beams and airplane wings for strength-testing. The building will also include an anechoic chamber — a metal, box-like laboratory sealed against electromagnetic signals. Chambers such as these are designed for research in wireless communications. Sarah Seguin, professor of electrical engineering, said the chamber at the M2SEC will be superior to many others because it will be insulated with a special foam that dampens electromagnetic signals. This would make it valuable not only to her work, but also that of private firms such as Garmin and Sprint. "There won't be a chamber like this anywhere else in the area," Seguin said. The construction began in May 2009, and is scheduled to be completed near the end of this year. Muller said the project was currently ahead of schedule, and that a passery could expect to see walls go up over the summer and roofing in the fall. The $18 million is officially budgeted for the construction. Marotz said most of those funds came in a grant from the Department of Commerce, and the School of Engineering expects to contribute a total of about $6.5 million.

Image from Google Maps, information from KU News STUDENT SENATE Coalition reports show funds raised and spent in campaigns BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com After Student Senate elections completed last week, the two coalitions, KUnited and Renew KU, turned in financial reports to the commission that oversees the elections. The election codes require them to do so. Turning in a report is required, but including all receipts on those reports is not. There is no fundraising or spending cap for campaigns. KUnited, the coalition that won the presidential and vice presidential race as well as dominated the number of senate seats gained, spent $6,538 on its campaign, according to its reports. KUnited raised $6,486.47 of the total. The remaining $51.53 was not cash on hand in the coalition's account but rather available funds that they did not use, KUnited treasurer Alex Rippberger said. Renew KU's total sponsorship came to $6,007.59 and the coalition spent $5,676.47 in total. The remaining $331.12 went into a rollover bank account in Renew KU's name, treasurer Sean Elliot said. Local businesses — especially apartment complexes — were the biggest donors to both campaigns. T-shirts were the largest cost with KUnited spending $2,050 and Renew KU spending $3,555.20.

Sam has recently been diagnosed with autism, the social and communicative disorder that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is now being discovered in one out of every 110 children under the age of four in the United States, making it more prevalent than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined. This reality brought about a national surge in autism investigations, with KU's Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training program at the forefront of the movement. The Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training program, or K-CART is a collaboration between scientists and instructors at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses, as well as the medical center. Its goal is to meet the needs of families who have been affected by autism through education, research into diagnostic and preventative measures, and the utilization of new training techniques designed to best cater to the individual.

Relays volunteer devotes 25 years BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com Alice Ann Johnston became a Kansas Relays volunteer more than 25 years ago, when a friend invited her to participate. Her friend, wife of then track coach Bob Timmons, prompted a volunteer career that makes Johnston one of the unsung heroes of the Lawrence tradition. While Johnston's work in the meet headquarters organizing entries and results will be behind the scenes, athletics staff rely on volunteers like her to make an event like the Kansas Relays possible. Although Johnston herself is not an alumna, her husband is, and her son David was an All-American cross country runner during his career as a jayhawk in the early 90s. She has seen performances from many of Kansas track and field's greatest athletes such as Al Oerter and Bill Alley, as well as watching her son compete in the Relays. "We've had some great runners like Jim Ryun, Michael Cox, David Johnston," Johnston said, including her son's names with some of KU's greatest. "A lot of young athletes who were just really wonderful to watch." This year, Johnston will again get to watch her son compete when he participates in the Street Mile event downtown. The race will take place tonight at 5:30 just before the Elite Men's Long Jump at 6 p.m. "It's really exciting this year to have the events downtown . . . because we have world-class performers doing that and that will be great fun." Johnston said. "It was absolutely marvelous to see women, college women, up doing the pole vault," Johnston said. Johnston will be participating in this year's Kansas Relays by helping organize in the event's headquarters during the action Friday and Saturday. Events on Friday will take place from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and resume at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. "It's a huge meet and it's like a three ring circus. There's something going on all the time that's very interesting," Johnston said. Edited by Emily Soetaert I'll go with the most likely image.

Isaac Gwin/KANSAN The University is conducting research into the neurological variations between children with autism and those who do not. The research focuses on differences in pupil dilation. RESEARCH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) and her associate John Colombo, who also has a Ph.D. in psychology, are conducting groundbreaking research into the neurological variations between children who have an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, and those who do not. They believe that children with ASD have unique visual scanning and pupil dilation responses to social interactions. Anderson and Colombo are able to test this theory through the use of a sophisticated eye-tracking device. A child is placed in an elevated car seat facing a TV. A still picture or video is then brought up on the screen for the child to look at. As the child watches the images of people or things, the eye-tracker, which carries a strong resemblance to a web camera, records and maps the child's eye movements and pupil dilation. "We have discovered that children with an ASD and children without have similar gaze patterns when looking at faces and following eye movement," Anderson said. "The significant difference is Her class starts in 15 minutes. Sleep Late. Walk to Class. Smart.Living.

When a person is processing information obtained visually, the pupils will dilate slightly. Anderson and Colombo's research shows that this is not the case for a child with an ASD whose pupils will actually constrict, indicating a lack of thought process for social interactions. For Sam, this would imply that though he might be looking at someone who is speaking to him, it does not mean he is taking in any information or even understanding that he is the one to whom is being spoken. Pupil response also links a to deeper brain function, Anderson said. Tracing these abnormalities back to the source could potentially reveal an overall cause for the prenatal neurological disruption that leads to a person having an ASD. In other studies, Anderson and Colombo have found that children with ASDs will have a slightly larger pupil baseline size. This information, coupled with the current knowledge on ASDs, may one day lead to highly accurate early detection techniques that could be conducted at birth. It would also make it easier to diagnose a child with a higher functioning ASD like Asperger's Syndrome. "It's really a very simple way to diagnose an ASD that Anderson also commented on the significant rise of autism diagnosis in the U.S. over the past 20 years. wouldn't require the five hours of assessment that it typically takes to diagnose a child." Anderson said. "Now, of course we are still in the early stages of the study, but we're hopeful." "I think we're to a point where there is more awareness of autism and that the earlier diagnostic screening tools that are now available are really helping to identify more children with ASDs." Anderson said. "This is especially true for children with Asperger's Syndrome whose problems aren't as obvious." AVENUES OF SUPPORT Sam is fortunate to have been diagnosed this early in life. The opportunities and support he will have will provide a tenfold increase in his chances for learning how to handle himself socially, but at some point Sam will grow up and may still require some assistance. "We have a lot of people out there who were diagnosed with autism very late in life," said Sean Swindler, K-CART's director of community program development "I'm so happy that more and more people are beginning to know about autism and understand it." K-CART considers itself am and evaluation. "That and people who were diagnosed at a typical time, but they leave school and childhood services and they have nothing available to them. We are trying figure out ways to help them navigate the systems that may be able to help support them." K-CART, in a collaboration with Johnson County Community College, has implemented an ASD support club where people who have an ASD and those who do not can socially interact and learn from one another. DEBRA KAMPS director of K-CART bitious in its training, not only with professionals who work with autistic children, but also with families who attend its spring and fall workshops that focus on new, innovative techniques in helping people with ASDs. To date the center has trained over 180 autism intervention providers. The Kansas Department of Education is currently funding a K-CART project to help train elementary school teachers and even students' peers on how to interact with kindergarteners and first graders who have ASDs. It has already been implemented in eight counties in Kansas. With more discoveries and better training methods being developed all the time, Sam's future looks to be a bright one. Hopes for what is to come at K-CART are high. "I'm so happy that more and more people are beginning to know about autism and understand it," said Debra Kamps, the director of K-CART, at an autism awareness month celebrative LOOKING AHEAD "The more people that become aware, the more accepting people will be. That is where we need to be headed." Those closest to Sam are encouraged by the work put forth by K-CART. "As the end result of our involvement with K-CART, I would like for Sam to be looked at as just a regular child," said Lindsey Taylor, Sam's mother, as she watched him stare at the little toy car. "I hope that us getting him involved this early will allow us to be able to make enough progress now so that he'll be fine when he's older. It would be my dream for Sam to be looked at as a normal kid and not a kid with autism."

Students' interest in campus politics shouldn't stop at the polls The recent 2011 Student Senate elections saw a dramatic increase in student participation from the year before, as more students cast votes than in the previous election. Student voter turnout increased 8 percent overall during this year's election, with 12 percent of the student body voting in 2010 compared to 21 percent voting in 2011. This year, there were a total of 5,192 combined votes cast for either Renew KU or KUnited, a number that rose from 3.063 from last year. The student body deserves praise for taking initiative to go out and vote in larger numbers this year, as increased participation in the election helped ensure a more accurate reflection of students' preferences. This is evident in the fact that the CAMPUS election was closer this year, with KUnited winning a solid, but not overwhelming, 60 percent of the total votes. This increased student involvement in senate activities is a good sign of continued interest and motivation in campus activities. After having four potential candidates in 2009, the election featured only two coalitions in 2010 and voter turnout plummeted from 5,921 votes to 3,063, a startling decrease of almost 50 percent. ultimately the students who deserve praise for this massive increase in election participation. However, the 2011 election again featured only two coalitions running for office, but voter turnout rebounded significantly back to over 5,000. While the coalitions and the elections committee assuredly did their part to encourage students to vote, it is Despite this impressive increase in voter turnout, the fact still stands that only 20 percent of the University's entire student body participated in the Senate elections, meaning that out of every five students, only one actually took the time to cast a vote. While it can be difficult to follow campus politics in the midst of a variety of other school and work related obligations, students can still keep themselves informed by either reading campus literature or browsing each coalition's website for information regarding their platforms. Many students commonly assume that voting in Senate elections will be time-consuming, but the new online voting system is quick and simple. If more students become aware of the ease with which they are able to cast their votes, it is very possible to increase voter turnout in future elections. While voter turnout this year was increased to 20 percent of the student body, it will be important for students to continue to increase their participation so that the number of voters does not fall again. For the 2012 Senate elections, the student body should consider the goal of 30 percent voter turnout to be a reasonable and worthy goal. Spencer Davidson for the Kansan Editorial Board. LOCAL Simple precautions can help students avoid inherent dangers of college life There are two things that define a college atmosphere, besides academics, whether you partake in them or not. Sex and alcohol. Unfortunately, the two don't always mix well. According to the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, which pulls its statistics from national and state databases, between 55 and 75 percent of acquaintance rapes include alcohol or drugs. Those are just cases where the victim and perpetrator know each other. On top of the percentage of alcohol-related sexual assaults, a 2002 report by Kansas law enforcement reported that one in four women in college were victims of rape. Sex is fine. Alcohol in moderation is fine. College is awesome. The three together, however, are neither fine nor awesome. 1840-1926 To change the statistics and the probability of such acts occurring, campuses and law enforcement must perform a nearly impossible task. They must change the mindset of students regarding sex and alcohol. They must make students think responsibly about these things and realize that they are not acceptable. BY AARON HARRIS aharriskansan.com GaDuGi SafeCenter is one way that law enforcement and local initiatives have shown a desire to do just that.

While this is a great program and initiative, it doesn't solve the problem. There will still be house parties. There will still be drinking. There Students must learn to protect themselves. In many ways, it's not that hard to do. Simple planning and avoidance can fix many of the late-night mistakes that students make. A few are: The main point of the program is to show owners and bartenders that if they do step in to stop irresponsible activity, the police are on their side and they are doing the correct thing. Don't walk home alone. For that matter, try not to attend parties or the bar alone. Watch your drink. Make your own if possible. Avoid common sources of alcohol. Have the bartended call you a cab if you can't drive. It's his or her responsibility. For those that are looking for action, it comes down to one simple piece of advice. If you realize they're drunk and can't make a coherent decision, don't go home with them. Put them in a cab or SafeRide and walk away. Going out and trying to sleep with people who are too drunk to make a mature decision doesn't mean you have "game;" it makes you a predator.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS Criticism of Mortenson shouldn't disillusion other humanitarians After wa ching the "60 Minutes" report on Greg Mortenson, I have mixed feelings. Mortenson, author of "Three Cups of Tea and Stones Into Schools", started the Central Asia Institute (CAI), which claims to have built and supported 170 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the pennies for Peace foundation, which raises funds for those projects. Mortenson was also the Into the Streets Week speaker last month at KU. The report details alleged exaggerations and fabrications in Mortenson's stories. This is a troubling offence; however, after the Center for Community Outreach (CCO) raised $31,000 to pay Mortenson's honorarium, ($34,000 total for his speaking engagements), a large part of which was paid for by student-generated funds, students might be more interested in the financial allegations. According to the "60 Minutes story," CAI spends more money marketing Mortenson's domestic outreach campaign than it has spent actually building schools. It appears the book revenues and speaking honorariums provide little if no support to the In its 16 years of existence, the organization has issued only one audited financial report. A BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com CAI has been attacked for the lack of transparency in its financial operations. Though the CAI said it receives personal contributions from Mortenson, the American Institute of Philanthropy doesn't think the organization is getting a fair share of finances. On the financial report, the organization claims 141 schools being built or supported. But, half of the 30 investigated by 60 Minutes were not being supported financially or were not functioning as schools. charity. To be fair, it isn't wrong to market the organization to increase support, but this looks like a case of bad financial priorities. Several board members have resigned because of the lack of financial accountability and Mortenson's intermingling of charity funds and personal funds. It is important to remember that Mortenson has built schools and has done good things, and if he had been truthful about the number of schools his organization is supporting, that would be impressive enough. Instead, he has gotten caught up in selling his story, by selling copies of his books. In addition, Mortenson also has become one of the leading advocates for female education in many Islamic countries where communities do not often view women as priorities in education. The outcome of this report should not be a full condemnation of Mortenson, his organization or his work. The public shouldn't feel like he is a bad guy or that he isn't trying to make a difference in the world. And, CCO should not be criticized for bringing a highly acclaimed and sought after speaker known for his humanitarian work and audience engagement. While talking with a group of students before his speech at the Lied, Mortenson expressed disappointment that part of his honorarium was paid for by student fees and said he would like to give the $9,000 given by student senate back to KU. There were discussion of how best to use those funds, including the possibility of giving the money to CCO or donating it to one of CAI's schools and creating a partnership between that school and KU. Unfortunately, CCO has not been in contact with Mortenson since his visit. I truly believe he did want to use the funds given by students for a good cause. But only time will tell if those funds are addressed. The danger of Mortenson's alleged actions is that many fans and followers will be disillusioned. It would be extremely unfortunate if this controversy discouraged the people Mortenson inspired, especially students at KU, from supporting humanitarian work and organizations that bring hope to communities both domestic and abroad. The important thing to remember is to stay hopeful. Good deeds, good humanitarian work and good philanthropy exists, and one man getting caught up in the fame of his work should not be enough to deter you from supporting community-building nonprofit organizations. I haven't read "Three Cups of Tea" yet, so I cannot comment directly on Mortenson's stories, his organizations methods or the book itself. I can only speak of the inspiration I have seen the good aspects of his work give to so many people. But, right now I know I'll be borrowing his book from the library rather than buying it.

Built in the '60s, the reactor was part of a nuclear engineering program that has long since been done away with. Health and Safetv. "The reactor was a training instrument for nuclear reactor students and it was a research tool for neutrons," said Michael Lemon, the radiation and laser safety officer for Environmental The reactor was shut down and decommissioned in the 1980s. The license ended in 1992 and the building was brought to Nuclear Regulatory Commission Standards. History of nuclear power plants in Kansas Wolf Creek: At 1,200 megawatts (1,200,000 kilowatts), Wolf Creek is a full-blown nuclear power plant. It differs from school reactors in that it produces electricity, which the others do not. Because of this, the reactor must be cooled at all times. The school reactors below do not require forced flow cooling, but they must be kept in water to maintain cooling. University of Missouri: As the biggest research reactor on any college campus, the University of Missouri's reactor operates at 10 megawatts (10,000 kilowatts). Construction of this reactor began in 1963 and was in full operation by 1966, operating at only five megawatts. By 1974, it was allowed to operate at 10 megawatts. Kansas State:Built in 1962, Kansas State's reactor was only allowed to operate at 100 kilowatts when it first opened. Since then, it has increased its operating power to 550 kilowatts, but is allowed to go up to 1,250 kilowatts.The Department of Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering uses the reactor primarily,but other departments use the facility as well. A MUSEUM OF ARTS AND CULTURE University of Kansas: Among the smallest of these reactors is KU's 10 kilowatt Bendix reactor. According to Lemon, the Bendix, which used to be housed in Burt Hall next to the current engineering buildings, no longer exists because it offered less and less value for the researchers at the University.

Professors and IT employees gathered yesterday to envision how video could transform University classrooms. Representatives from the higher education technology company Echo360 and the School of Pharmacy showed off Echo's "blended learning" system. This technology system allows professors to capture video of lectures, powerpoint slides and other electronic devices and blend them together into a single presentation that can be posted on Blackboard Steve Dahlberg, systems administrator for School of Pharmacy IT, said the school started using Echo four years ago as a backup system for the live streaming video program the school had been using in its distance learning program. Over time, the school realized that Echo had more potential, even though it didn't allow Live broadcasts. "They can listen to it many times over." Dahlberg said. "And we also do it for students who are out with the flu, pregnancies." The "asynchronous" technology, as Dahlberg called it, can even allow a professor to pre-record lectures if he or she will be gone. Dahlberg said the School of Pharmacy has used the recordings to help absent students the chance to keep up. Carrie Gerard, an account manager, said Echo had more than 450 customers in schools such as Creighton University and Missouri State University. Gerard also said that several departments at the University were interested in the technology, but refused to say which ones. Dahlberg described yesterday's luncheon as a chance for the University community to learn about the product. Edited by Danielle Packer NATIONAL Utah's immigration policy viewed as "hypocritical" by congressman ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — The Texas congressman who heads the U.S. House Judiciary Committee has accused the Justice Department of being "hypocritical" for not pursuing legal action against a Utah law approving a guest worker program for illegal immigrants. the Administration bases their decisions on their own political views rather than constitutional principle", Smith said in a statement to "The Associated Press. The Utah law doesn't take effect for two years, which state officials said was done specifically to avert a lawsuit. The state is seeking a federal waiver. U. S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R Texas, said in a letter Monday to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder that the Utah law approving the program is unconstitutional, and called the department's inaction a "stark contrast" to the federal government's lawsuit against Arizona for a law "that merely complements and assists in the enforcement of federal immigration law." "This is hypocritical. If (the Justice Department) chooses not to take legal action against Utah's unconstitutional law, it will be clear In his letter, Smith said the government's inaction would reinforce the perception that it only opposes strict enforcement measures such as Arizona's law. In its challenge to Arizona's law, the Justice Department argued the measure intrudes on its exclusive authority to regulate immigration, disruptions U.S.-Mexico relations, hinders cooperation between state and federal officials, and puts burdens on legal immigrants. A federal judge put key parts of that law on hold last July, a ruling the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld earlier this month. Smith said that if Obama's administration "is serious about having a uniform immigration policy rather than a 'patchwork' of state' immigration laws you profess to oppose, then the Administration needs to take action against the Utah law" A showdown with federal officials is the last thing Utah wants, the state's Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said. He and Utah Gov Gary Herbert have met with federal officials, including members of the Justice Department. Shurtleff, a Republican, said Smith's letter is not only wrong, but strictly political. "He's riding right along the line of the hard right wing radicals," said Shurtleff. "He's trying to stick his nose into Utah's business and play politics."

The first-round playoff series shifts to Denver on Saturday night with Oklahoma City leading 2-0. The Thunder relied heavily on their All-Star duo in Game 1, getting a combined 72 points from Durant and Westbrook. Ty Lawson scored 20 points to lead Denver, which got as close as 10 in the fourth quarter before Oklahoma City put the game away. The rematch of a series opener that went right down to the wire and featured a controversial non-call on a goaltending on the Thunder's go-ahead basket with 65 seconds left couldn't have been much different than Game 1. Oklahoma City got a balanced performance, with James Harden providing 18 points and Serge Ibaka adding 12 points and 12 rebounds. Kendrick Perkins had 11 rebounds as the Thunder piled up a 41-19 edge on the boards by late in the third quarter. Denver made a brief rally to get within 86-76 after consecutive layups by Lawson and Felton with 8:33 to play, but Oklahoma City held Denver without a basket for 3 minutes to get started on a 14-5 run that put the game away. In a reversal from the first game, it was the Thunder who came out hot. Oklahoma City cruised to a 29-10 lead late in the first quarter. Kenyon Martin and coach George Karl both drew technical fouls for the Nuggets, who seemed to be constantly looking for whistles that didn't come. Harden hit two 3-pointers as Oklahoma City scored 12 of the first 14 points in the second quarter to make it 43-17 within the first 15½ minutes of the game. Al Harrington finally brought the Nuggets to life with a 3-pointer from the top of the key, starting a string of seven straight points for Denver. Within 5 minutes, the Nuggets shaved 14 points off the deficit. Harrington made another 3 in a 9-0 run, and Denver was suddenly within 50-38 after Lawson's jumper along the right side of the lane with 3:42 left before halftime. The comeback fizzled, though, as the Nuggets made just one basket in the first 5 minutes of the second half. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS ANNOUNCEMENTS His Hands Clothing Closet. Help out your local community.

Canton who is competing in the decathlon is currently third overall with 5 of the 10 events completed. Chris Bronson/KANSAA ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Iowa State's freshman Jamal Currica is in first place after the first day of competition in the Men's Decatillon at the 2011 Kansas Relays. Currica won three events on the first day, which gained a 122-point lead over Nebraska's Teran Walford. Currica had the only time in the 100-meter dash under 11 seconds, and also took the 400-meter dash with a time of 50.63 seconds. Currica struggled in the jumping events, finishing second in the high jump and third in the long jump. "The long jump was rough, I fell on my first two. So I just wanted to get a safe one in there. I didn't jump as far as I wanted to," Currica said. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Currica came up favoring one of his legs due to muscle tightening after the 400, but brushed aside concern that it could seriously affect him in the competition tomorrow. "It's the 400, it happens all the time on the last 50 meters. No cramps or anything, I just need to stretch and cool down." Currica said. Kansas junior Nick Canton sits in third place after the first day. Canton is competing in his first decathlon. Previously Canton had only competed in the high jump. "I feel a lot better than what I thought. At first I was pretty nervous because I haven't worked on all the events for a long time, but since I'm done I feel pretty good about everything." Canton said. Canton was the only decathlon athlete to record a successful high jump over two meters in the event, which was 2.09 meters. "I feel pretty confident, I made up a lot of points in the high jump so that felt pretty good. I'm excited for tomorrow," Canton said. The decathlon resumes competition at 8:30 this morning with the 110-meter hurdles.

The Jayhawks lost both games of the double header. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com The game seemed to be in slow motion. Every aspect - hitting, defense, pitching, everything - lacked intensity Wednesday against Tulsa. The Hurricanes defeated the Jayhawks 3-0 and 4-2. "I have no idea where our team was," coach Megan Smith said. "They weren't focused. They weren't locked in and we are not the type of team that can win games if we play that way." Tulsa started sophomore pitcher Lacey Middlebrooks. She holds a 2.41 ERA this season and is a slower speed pitcher. The Kansas offense had wanted to take advantage of the slower speed. That did not happen. The jayhawk batters had five hits in the first game, three against Middlebrooks. The offense was unable to generate runs because of the nine batters stranded during the first game. "We weren't really fighting from the beginning and we kind of got complacent," sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery said. The batters were able to create base hits and benefit from walks. Then baserunning skills helped them advance. Even when runners reached scoring position, however, the offense was unable to score. They caught pop flies and easy-tofield ground balls to end innings before runs could be scored. The Hurricanes scored two unearned runs off Jayhawk defensive errors in the sixth inning. Senior pitcher Allie Clark began the inning with a strikeout, however the next batter hit a ground ball past the circle resulting in a base hit. The next two pitches also resulted in ground balls. The first was fumbled at second by freshman Ashley Newman, allowing the batter to reach first and the runner to reach second. Montgomery made a diving play from the short stop position on the second ground ball, but it was not in time to catch any runners, leaving the bases loaded. Clark's next pitch was hit above her head. She attempted to catch the hit for the out, but instead it tipped off her glove and allowed the runners from second and third to score, putting Tula up 3-0. During the break between games the team huddle was long and somber. Hull hit numerous foul balls and then suddenly hit a powerful single off her slap to left field. The team erupted in the dugout with cheers, "Yea baby! I like it like that!" The fight did come back in the second game, but it was not enough. Sophomore Alex Jones pitched the majority of the game. Her pitching style is completely different from Clark's. It is a more energetic style. At first the speed and intensity from Jones was a spark for the defense, but the defense ultimately committed three errors that allowed the Hurricanes to pull ahead for their second victory. "I challenged them to come out and fight," Smith said. "That's what we have been doing all year. We don't pretend to be the most talented team in the country. We work hard and we fight." The lajhawk offense saw their first spark of the night in sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull. In the bottom of the second inning, Hull was the second batter up after Montgomery struck out swinging. what was important. Hull continued to hit and run bases well, but to her it was not "At the end of the day it's not about what you did. The thing that hurts is the fact that we lost," Hull said. The offense had two runs from six hits in the second game. The two runs came off a home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Senior catcher Brittany Hile hit a single down the left-field line. Junior Liz Kocon was next at bat, and after fighting the count hit a home run over the right-center field wall. The team was simply not playing at its level. It did not start the night off with intensity. It played slow and without any drive or passion. But after being shocked back into reality by the coaching staff during the break, play improved in the second game. It was just too little , too late, though. "We need all-around improvement. I think that is going to come when the girls really make a decision to fight from pitch one to the last pitch," Smith said.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: 10 — iaaf.com Kansas Relays breaks 84-year tradition MORNING BREW The Kansas Relays aren't exactly what they used to be. Apparently there's a grand tradition behind them and a grand tradition behind them and big names like Maurice Green used to show up and bring out plenty of fans to brave the almost-certain rain at Memorial Stadium every April. But it hasn't been quite the same recently. Unless you're a rare American sports fan who gets really jazzy about top-10 javelin throwers or steeplechase runners (if you even know what steeplechase is), you probably haven't bothered to come out to the Relays. I imagine the lack of attendees at the Kansas Relays in the past few years spurred some sort of brainstorming session at the Kansas Athletics offices last year. And I imagine it went something like this: Meet director; "Man, why can't we get people excited about stuff like shot putters and long jumpers here in the U.S." Knowledgeable employee: "I know. The European fans love this stuff. It's too bad we can't just have meets out on the streets like they do over there." Meet director: "Have them on the what?" Knowledgeable employee: "Oh, you know, in Europe they put events like shot put out on downtown streets and there's music blaring and it's like an extreme sports venue. Everyone loves it." Meet director: "WHY AREN'T WE JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW DOING THAT?" Then I imagine the knowledgeable employee was either promoted for the idea or fired for not bringing it up sooner. Either way, here we are in 2011 with the Kansas Relays breaking an 84-year-old tradition of holding most of its field events on the lawn outside of Memorial Stadium (usually used as the Official Gameday Drinking Field during football season) and moving them to the corner of Eighth and New Hampshire streets downtown. there. The invitational shot put will be on Wednesday at 6 p.m. and the invitational long jump will be on Thursday at 6 p.m.. Both events will feature top-ranked professional athletes. It's a wonder that no one in America has had the idea to move field events downtown before. What's better than 300-pound men chucking 16-pound metal balls while the happy hour crowd mills about? No way anything could go wrong Really though, the other competitors should be jealous that the meet organizers figured out a way to force Lawrence residents to watch the shot put and the long jump against their will while the rest of the meet's competitors are still cooped up inside a sparsely populated stadium. Who knows, though, maybe next year we could have an all-downtown Kansas Relays. Make the hurdlers jump over parking meters instead of hurdles. They could offer extra prizes for high school competitors who could pole vault over traffic lights. They could even design the distance courses to cut in and out of department stores and bars. They should probably keep the javelin throw at the stadium, though. Just in case. —Edited by Jacque Weber THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY 体育 BASEBALL Sports Baseball vs. Texas 6 p.m. Lawrence FRIDAY Track Kansas Relays All day Lawrence Running Track Kansas Relays All day Lawrence X Baseball vs. Texas 6 p.m. Lawrence SHOOTING Softball vs. Iowa State 4 p.m. Ames, Iowa Women's Golf Big 12 Conference Championship All day Columbia, Mo.

"Texas comes in with the finest pitching staff in the country," Price said. "For us to have a chance to be successful, we're going to have to pitch as good as Texas this weekend." means so much. Coach Ritch Price said it's the biggest series of the year so far for the Jayhawks, and it's easy why it The Jayhawks come into the series playing the best baseball they've played all season, winning three consecutive Big 12 series and four of five total on the year. Kansas (19-18) sits at fourth in the Big 12, with a chance to make the NCAA tournament. It can be in a much better position to make the tournament if it can win the series. next week. It's not an impossible mission for the Jayhawks, who won a series against an Oklahoma State team that won two of three against Texas the To out-pitch the Longhorns (28-9). all three of the Jayhawks starters are going to have to keep from making mistakes on the mound. "We're going to have to limit the walks, the hit by pitches, and literally give them no free bases." Price said. The Longhorns have been dominant on the mound all season, with a team ERA of 2.32 and opposing team batting average of .199. Texas will start junior Taylor Jungmann, who has been nearly unhillable for the Longhorns this "He may well be the first pick in the draft," Price said. "He's certainly one of the best pitchers that I've seen in my career." season. The 6-foot-6 pitcher from Temple, Texas, brings an 8-0 record with an ERA of 1.11 and has only nine walks with 63 strike outs. Junior T.J. Walz will take the rubber for Kansas Thursday. Walz had a rough start to the year, getting hit hard against TCU, but has been very successful in Big 12 play. Walz is 3-1 against Big 12 competition with an ERA of 2.04. Friday's matchup on the mound could provide just as many fireworks as the Thursday night pitcher's duel. Sophomore Tanner Poppe will take his 3.26 ERA the mound for Kansas, against Texas senior Cole Green. Green brings a similar ERA of 3.27. With the pitchers dueling it out on the mound, the Jayhawks are going to need their top batters to take charge. Senior outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle are batting .345 and .340 in Big 12 play. Those two need to lead the way, and come through for Kansas when they need it most. Saturday's matchup features Kansas freshman Alex Cox throwing against Texas junior Sam Stafford. Stafford is 5-0 on the year with a 1.39 ERA, opposed to Cox who is 2-3 with a 4.68 ERA. While Cox's ERA is slacking, the freshman has been improving and kept Missouri scoreless in a crucial game last Sunday "It's going to come down to two out hits," Price said. "When you've got runners in scoring position you've got to get a clutch RBI." Edited by Corey Thibodeaux TY SICKS REALITY SUCKS GM LTD LUCKILY THE GM COLLEGE DISCOUNT DOESN'T.

THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 12A TAKING IT TO THE STREETS Kansas Hollys Armstrong adidas UCS No.7 in world wins shot put event Dylan Armstrong launches the shot put high into the air during his third throw at the Kansas Relays' Olympic Men's Shot Put held downtown between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets on Eighth Street Wednesday night. The Olympic men's shot put featured eight of the world's best shot putters. Armstrong who came into the competition ranked No. 7 in the world won the meet with a throw of 70 1/4". Chris Bronson/KANSAN Friendly but fierce competition at the Kansas Relays GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com Dylan Armstrong, ranked No. 7 in the world, won the men's invitational shot put last night, throwing 70 feet, 7.25 inches. He held off a field of seven other competitors who are all ranked in the top 22 in the world. Armstrong knew he would have to throw about 70 feet to secure the victory. "This is one of the strongest events in the world right now in track and field," Armstrong said. "It's a great group of guys. We're all friends and we all support each other." Indeed, the competitors could be heard giving shouts of encouragement to each other as they stepped up to throw the shot. Many of them have been competing against one another for about 10 years. "We're big guys, but we're the friendliest guys, too," Armstrong said. Reese Hoffa, ranked No. 2 in the world, took second place by throwing 69 feet, 3.5 inches. Hoffa has now thrown at least 69 feet in 83 competitions, leaving him two meets shy of second place all time for throwing 69 feet or more. Hoffa felt he could have done better but he knows he's in a good position for the rest of the year. "I felt like 1 should have hit it a little harder," Hoffa said. "But if this is a bad day for me, going 69-2, 69-3, then I'm in incredible shape." After the meet, Hoffa, a noted Rubik's Cube enthusiast, solved a cube provided by event organizers in about three minutes, well shy of his best time of 38 seconds. He started doing the Rubik's Cube to calm his nerves when he was competing for the University of Georgia. The shot put was held in the streets for the first time in the United States in a makeshift ring. Armstrong said the event organizers got everything right. The only nuisance was the telephone line hanging overhead. Armstrong hit the power line on one of his warm-up throws. Despite this, the consensus from the competitors was that Lawrence successfully pulled off the shot put. “It's really unique to see that kind of crowd gathered for just one event in track and field,” said Adam Nelson, who placed third. “I think Lawrence did a fantastic job hosting it.” An estimated 2,500 fans really got into the meet when Nelson stepped up to take his first throw. His warm-up routine consists of him urging the crowd into a rhythmic clap, enthusiastically pulling off his shirt, and then hopping down the runway. Nelson did this on all six of his "I was hoping to get a throw out over 70 feet today," Nelson said. "But I was just having a slight technical, like a timing issue at the front of the circle." 2 throws. Like Hoffa, Nelson felt he could have thrown farther.

Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "To so run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Neville did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said.

Rebecca Neville (3,125 points) COMMENTARY Two of them - Conner Teahan and Marcus Morris - have never had serious trouble with the law. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Kansas rap sheet too long to ignore Three others — Markieff Morris, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING — had been arrested in their time at Kansas. Morris faced a battery charge in his freshman year after shooting a woman from his Jayhawker Towers dorm room with an Airsoft gun. In December 2010, Little faced a battery charge for an altercation with his ex-girlfriend and a member of the Kansas baseball team. Morningstar was cited for driving under the influence in October of 2009. This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program. The sixth player, sophomore forward Thomas Robinson, who is essential to the immediate future of the Kansas program, would face his first battery charge by the end of the night. If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2006. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard wasn't there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. National headlines have been dominated recently by recruiting violations and botched amateurism. But who is hurt by that? Who is the victim? What does it matter if Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor earned a little money on the side by selling his jersey? What is the value of amateurism? There isn't one. Those aren't real issues. Not in my book. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list. Forget that you're a Jayhawk fan, and tell me if you would root for that team. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a game of basketball games. Pretty tough, isn't it?

Rebecca Neville (3,125 points) This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off mugs namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program. If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a lot of basketball games. Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2006. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard wasn't there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list. Forget that you're a Jayhawk fan, and tell me if you would root for that team. Pretty tough, isn't it?

I used to be a morning person who loved waking up with the rising sun. I set my coffee machine to 6 a.m. so I could wake up to the smell and sound of brewing coffee. The aroma alone was enough to make me stumble out of bed half awake to make breakfast, which usually consisted of a toasted blueberry bagel smothered with strawberry cream cheese. After taking a shower and reading an article or two in a magazine or newspaper, I would start the day's activities. I found the day more fulfilling after a full night's rest and a early start. I had enough time to complete all my work, attend all my classes and still hang out with friends at night. This sounds great to me now. Unfortunately, this winter I began to hibernate more. My days became shorter and I never felt rested. My apartment got messy and I stayed out too late during break. Once break was over, my bad sleeping habits continued. It was cold outside so I stayed inside where sleep felt like the best option, but only after 2 a.m. This isn't new for me. I just reverted back to my old habits as a kid. I was not a morning person when I was younger. At night, I always had a gadget to play with or a movie to watch or a girl to talk to on the phone. By morning time, my alarm would go off and I'd hit the snooze button until my mother had to wake me up for school. I stumbled towards the bathroom where I would lie on the floor wrapped in a towel as the shower ran, trying to fool my mom into believing I was starting my day. I feel like kid again. I am groggy a lot, which I try to counteract with coffee. ... lots and lots of coffee. I am not necessarily a zombie; I can usually get by in conversations, but I also find myself staring off into space and turning my brain off in between classes. I spent a long time becoming a morning person, training myself to wake up at the break of dawn by pure repetition alone. I undid all that training in a month's time, and now that spring has sprung, I want to break my nightwolls habits. JONATHAN HERMES | ASSOCIATE EDITOR Check out Justine's story on page 7.

CONTACT > Tackle the sticky world of relationships. Rubik Q. How do you feel about long-distance relationships with guys who are kind of sketch? How would you expect them to show you they're being faithful in a situation like that? bridges bridges bridges To fully answer your second question, I'm not sure there is a way to show that. You simply have to trust your partner. A lot of that trust that I'm talking about comes from experience together and intimate self-disclosure. Both of which are difficult to do over a telephone or Skype. A. I am not a believer in long-distance relationships — not all, but most. Especially if you or your relationship is fairly young, I advise against trying. You even mention that the guy is "kind of sketch." Why would you want to date someone like that? One of the reasons why long-distance relationships are tough is because it is tough to show someone you are being faithful. If you think this guy is sketch and might struggle with a long-distance relationship, then stop trying. Long-distance relationships are a breeding ground for paranoia, stress and inevitable heartache. Relationships need intimacy to survive, and it is tough to get and show intimacy through the phone. // MIKE ANDERSON I do not recommend long-distance dating. Unfortunately, it sounds to me like you are already in a long-distance relationship with this "sketch" guy, or you're strongly considering it. Why are you choosing (or considering) to date someone you don't trust? Why are you dismissing potential dating partners in your area? I assure you that on the nights you do not see him, you will be stressed with the worry that he is with another girl. Why waste your time? Spend time nurturing yourself and relationships with your friends. The more time you spend out in the community, laughing and having fun, the greater your chances are of meeting someone with whom you have a connection and can devote the time necessary to develop trust and intimacy. Sarah A. Trust and intimacy are vital components of successful long-term relationships.Dating someone long-distance builds unavoidable barriers and prevents the development of trust and intimacy. // MICHELLE MACBAIN dreams can come true. now open until 3am.

He started doing the Rubik's Cube to calm his nerves when he was competing for the University of Georgia. Dylan Armstrong launches the shot put high into the air during his third throw at the Kansas Relays' Olympic Men's Shot Put held downtown between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets on Eighth Street Wednesday night. The Olympic men's shot put featured eight of the world's best shot putters. Armstrong who came into the competition ranked No. 7 in the world won the meet with a throw of 70 '1/4". Chris Bronson/KANSAN The shot put was held in the streets for the first time in the United States in a makeshift ring. Armstrong said the event organizers got everything right. The only nuisance was the telephone line hanging overhead. Armstrong hit the power line on one of his warm-up throws. Despite this, the consensus from the competitors was that Lawrence successfully pulled off the shot put. "It's really unique to see that kind of crowd gathered for just one event in track and field," said Adam Nelson, who placed third. "I think Lawrence did a fantastic job hosting it." An estimated 2,500 fans really got into the meet when Nelson stepped up to take his first throw. His warm-up routine consists of him urging the crowd into a rhythmic clap, enthusiastically pulling off his shirt, and then hopping down the runway. Nelson did this on all six of his "I was hoping to get a throw out over 70 feet today," Nelson said. "But I was just having a slight technical, like a timing issue at the front of the circle." throws. Like Hoffa, Nelson felt he could have thrown farther. Check Kansan.com today and this weekend for more coverage of the Kansas Relays Edited by Danielle Packer 10 Neville dominates first day, scores 3,125 points TRACK & FIELD BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com Rebecca Neville won three of the four events in the women's heathatlon Wednesday and ended the day in the lead with 3,125 points. Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Neville did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season." "I don't care if it hurts in the 800," Neville said. "It's the last event."

I assure you that on the nights you do not see him, you will be stressed with the worry that he is with another girl. Why waste your time? A. Trust and intimacy are vital components of successful long-term relationships.Dating someone long-distance builds unavoidable barriers and prevents the development of trust and intimacy. Spend time nurturing yourself and relationships with your friends. The more time you spend out in the community, laughing and having fun, the greater your chances are of meeting someone with whom you have a connection and can devote the time necessary to develop trust and intimacy. // MICHELLE MACBAIN dreams can come true. now open until 3am.

Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Neville did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season." "I don't care if it hurts in the 800." Neville said. "It's the last event."

And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program. If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a game of basketball games. When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard was there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2006. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list.

Edited by Brittany Nelson HEALTH + THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP Photo illustration by Jerry Wang Snooze control: By allowing natural light to wake you up in the morning, you will feel more awake. The light enters the optic nerve and tells the brain to stop producing melatonin, which induces sleep. HOW YOUR SLEEPING HABITS AFFECT YOUR LIFESTYLE // JUSTINE PATTON The morning person greets the sunrise with a smile, while the night owl feels most awake as darkness falls. But who gets the best sleep? And is it possible to convert to the other side? Sleep helps regulate almost everything our bodies do — from brain operation to making sure our immune systems are in tip-top condition, says Michael Twery, the director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research. If we don't get the recommended amount of sleep (seven to nine hours), then our minds and bodies start to suffer as a result. "When you're tired, things don't look so bright and cheerful," Twery says. Sleep-deprived students could also be slipping into bad habits. People may self-medicate by smoking a cigarette to get to sleep, says Twery. Likewise, someone who has only slept for five hours may eat an extra snack for fuel. All those extra snacks and cigarettes can lead to unhealthy lifestyles. When you're sleep-deprived, you often skip exercising as well. Pulling a few all-nighters during the school year isn't going to hurt, but if sleep-deprivation becomes a lifestyle choice, research indicates that it heightens the risk of heart disease, stroke and obesity. "When you're 21 or 22, it's hard to SUGGESTIONS FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S REST: Say goodbye to the snooze button. It takes the body at least 20 minutes to get into deep, REM sleep. So, instead of getting 30 more minutes of REM sleep, you're getting the lightest, least beneficial sleep possible. Source: Michael Breus, the author of The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan Sleep is often a student's last priority. Betsy Ball, Overland Park sophomore, says she usually only gets about six hours of sleep a night. "They say for every hour of class you have, you need three hours of studying time." Ball says. "There's not enough time for that, work, a social life and sleep." -- Avoid caffeine -understand how the lifestyle you're living can affect your long-term life," Twery says. -- Exercise Studies show people who exercise on a regular basis simply sleep better. -- Relax -largely by genes, says Michael Breus, the author of The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan, but it's possible to manipulate it in a few different ways. The preferred method is light therapy, where individuals are introduced to natural light in the morning. The light enters the optic nerve, which signals the brain to stop producing melatonin. Melatonin is the key that starts the engine for sleep. So, one way to feel more awake in the morning is to take a short walk outside in the sun. Caffeine has a life of eight to nine hours. If you have a cup of coffee around 5 p.m., some of that caffeine will still affect the body at midnight. This hectic lifestyle may make morning people the envy of their night owl opposites. Just think: How awesome would it be to feel alert and ready for your 8 a.m. exam rather than cloudy and sluggish? Do something to power down before bed, such as reading, watching TV or meditating. Basically, if you want to wake up earlier, you need to go to bed earlier. Manipulating a person's circadian rhythm can make this transition easier. A circadian rhythm is a natural pattern of processes, including cycles of being awake and asleep, body temperature and the release of hormones during a 24-hour period. It determines what time of day we get the urge to sleep and is to blame for a morning or night preference, says Brandon Peters, a resident in neurology at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Everyone's circadian rhythm is determined If you have trouble getting to sleep at a decent hour, using medication such as sleeping pills or melatonin may help. However, be careful if you seek this type of treatment; such medications affect hormone levels and can be dangerous if not supervised by a doctor.

Photo by Travis Young Ready, set, go: Runners take part in Race Ipa, a 5K organized by KU's School of Law // JUSTINE PATTON Sweat trickles down my forehead. My lungs frantically search for air and my breath comes out in uneven pants. My legs are just plain tired. Then comes the hill. It's really just the slight incline in front of Mrs. E's on campus, but to my fatigued body it looks like a mountain. "I can't do this." This thought flashes through my brain. I glance at Andrew. He gives me a reassuring smile and points to something as we turn the corner — the finish line. I will myself to keep running just a little bit further... When I was a senior in high school, I jogged on the treadmill daily. But as soon as the numbers "2.00" flashed across the screen, that was it — my legs and lungs were spent. You could say that I had flirted with long distance running in the past—but never committed. In a way, that makes sense. I'm definitely not what anyone would call a "natural-born runner." My legs are short, so my stride is small. And, I have asthma, which makes any kind of cardiovascular activity difficult. I decided to overcome these limitations this semester to train for Race Ispa, a 5K run the University of Kansas School of Law organized. And trust me, if I can run a 5K, so can you. READY... Before I got too far into training, I decided to make sure I was healthy enough to run. I made an appointment with Melissa Caywood, the staff physical therapist at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Caywood told me because college students are unlikely to have any pre-existing cardiac or respiratory issues, most are healthy enough to start a running program. In other words, I was good to go. People who have had running injuries in the past should visit with a physical therapist to find out whether a running program is right for them. If you've spent most of your college years camped out on the couch instead of logging hard hours at the gym, don't worry. It's not too late for you to get moving. SET... Next, I needed to figure out what type of schedule I was going to follow. I found out that while my exercise routine was definitely going to change, my eating habits didn't have to. Ann Chapman, the registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says short races don't require any major changes — only a healthy diet and good hydration. Beginning runners often benefit from a walk/ jog training program. In this type of program, each session involves walking a little, then jogging a little and repeating. It's easy to get frustrated with this type of program, because it doesn't feel like you're progressing quickly enough. Caywood urged me to be patient and stick with it. "The walking and running combination helps your heart and lungs catch up and condition," she says. "It also helps your soft tissue in your legs to adapt to the forces you're placing on it." That's what happened to me. I thought because I used to run two miles a day in high school, I would still be able to do it. I ran two miles daily for a week, and by the end of it, a small, painful bruise had developed on my right knee. I asked Caywood about it, and she said that I had likely gotten ahead of myself. I forced myself to rest and ice it for a week — which was a big motivation killer — and then started training with the walk/run program. Progressing too fast can often result in injury which will only slow down your training. Not every ache or pain means you've injured yourself. It's normal to feel sore after a workout. There are a few situations, however, when the pain isn't normal. If the pain doesn't lessen after a few days of rest, you may have injured yourself. Likewise, after you warm up, if the So how fast should you progress? Caywood suggests not increasing more than 10 percent per session. So, if you run for 30 minutes on Monday, on Wednesday you should add 10 percent, or three minutes, to the workout. soreness doesn't go away during the workout that could indicate a problem. Time isn't the only aspect of training that affects the intensity of a workout. Three other factors affect intensity: speed, distance and terrain — and individuals should only change one at a time. So, if your program calls for running a longer distance, don't add a hill in there as well. NOT SO FAST So, now that you've figured out your training schedule, you're ready to get moving, right? The cushion shoe: This shoe is the most flexible. It has the highest amount of cushion and allows the most free motion. The stability shoe: This shoe has a little more stiffness and control. A hard, plastic piece is usually in the arch of the shoe. The motion-control shoe: This shoe is the stiffest and is not going to allow a lot of motion. Before you start, you should invest in a good pair of running shoes. Caywood says there are three types of running shoes: 100 So which shoe is the right one? It depends on an athlete's foot type. For example, floppy. Photo Illustration by Travis Young A shoe for the sale. Find a shoe that fits your foot type, whether it's cushion, stability or control. flexible feet that roll around a lot while running are best contained by a motion-control shoe. Height and weight often come into play as well. "If a guy who is 6 foot and 210 pounds put on a cushion shoe, he would probably smash it," Caywood says. "It would flatten out after a month or two." Athletes with an average amount of flexibility and arch (aka most runners) are fine with stability shoes, which was the case for me. I hadn't bought running shoes in a while, so I went to Garry Gribbles Running Sports, 839 04 8 21 11 After Rubik's cube provided by event organizers in about three minutes, well shy of his best time of 38 seconds.

Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Neville did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season." Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "I don't care if it hurts in the 800." Neville said. "It's the last event."

Rebecca Neville (3,125 points) Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a game of basketball games. When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard wasn't there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2006. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program. If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list. Forget that you're a Jayhawk fan, and tell me if you would root for that team. 5 Pretty tough, isn't it? Edited by Brittany Nelson FEATURE ★ Massachusetts St., and one of the employees worked with me to find my perfect shoe. GO! Now that you've got your training schedule and a shiny new pair of running shoes, it's finally time to train. Training involves more than just a schedule, however. It gives runners an opportunity to discover what they like and what they don't. Ifound running with someone more enjoyable than running alone. I volunteered my boyfriend Andrew to train with me. He helped keep a steady pace when we trained outside. When he wasn't around, I picked a treadmill next to somebody at the gym to keep me motivated. Megan Chinander, a personal trainer at the Ambler Student Recreation Center, agrees a running buddy can be encouraging. "I figure I can't stop, because if I do, I am letting [that person] down," Chinander says. "Plus, I don't want to be a wuss and cop out early. If [that person] can do it, so can l." A running buddy can have two legs, or in Bärbel Göbel's case, four. Göbel, a German graduate student, says she started running in late October 2010 because it was a simple and cheap cardiovascular exercise. She hooked her dog Gracie up to a leash and started moving. "It helps that she loves to run, too," Göbel says. Her workouts with Gracie paid off. In December 2010, just a couple months after she started running, Göbel completed her first 5K in zero-degree weather. Chinander, the personal trainer, recommends running outdoors rather than on a treadmill. She says treadmills aren't as challenging as the outdoors, and the terrain helps distract runners from the toll of physical exertion. I found running outside difficult at first. I had always run on treadmills, so pacing myself was a challenge. I would start out fast and end up exhausted before the end of the first mile. Chinander says a lot of people are just like me — they use up all of their energy and then have nothing left at the end.

KU KU 305 out slow is important. Find your stride after the first couple miles and check in with your body periodically to see if you need to slow down. Music can offer motivation when a runner is lacking. Researchers at the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences found that healthy individuals exercise harder with fast music. I found mash up music especially motivating. The musician Girl Talk accompanied me during most of my runs. Molly Jones, Lincoln, Neb., freshman, says she listens to upbeat music like rap and pop when she runs as well. She says the fast tempo of the songs helps her keep moving. CROSSING THE FINISH LINE... After I caught glimpse of the finish line, a feeling of relief and accomplishment came over me long before the race ended. I knew I had finished what I had started eight weeks ago. I had run my first 5K. The satisfied feeling I had was one that Barbara Fenton, Wallington, Conn., KU graduate, felt as well when she finished her first 5K last December. "Once I finished my first race, I realized it was a great high, and I wanted to do it again," Fenton says. "I can't believe all the weight I've lost and how great I feel overall." Fitness isn't the only motivator behind training for a 5K. Kortney Clifton, Topeka sophomore, started running recently because of her sorority. The sorority sisters have run in a few different 5K races for charity, which for Clifton is an added bonus. "After I finished my first race, it was a really good feeling because I knew I had done something that benefited someone else," Clifton says. As for me, I have caught the running bug. I never thought that would happen. During my years at KU, I've watched two of my roommates train for a half-marathon and a marathon, each time shaking my head and wondering, "Why?" I know why now. Running gives you a challenge, an adrenaline rush and an escape all in one, and I plan to keep doing it. I hope to see you out there as well.

V Edited by Brittany Nelson --- NOTICE WIRELESS Q&A // VALERIA SOLANO > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers. For the past four years, 43-year-old Valeria Solano has shown KU students her native country, Costa Rica, as the tour guide for the Honors Program's winter break trip. She never expected her summer job during college to turn into her vocation, but Valeria says she feels fortunate things worked out as they did. She always wanted to be a veterinarian, but the only school in Costa Rica with that program was too far away, so Valeria studied biology closer to home. While in school, she worked as a tour guide in the summers, sharing her love of nature and Tico culture with others. In working on her master's in entomology, Valeria says she had a change of heart." In researching insects, you have to kill them, and there was just a point that I couldn't do it anymore." After finishing her master's courses, Valeria chose to begin working as a tour guide. Because of her knowledge as a biologist, she had no trouble getting a job leading nature tours. At 30 years old and still guiding tours, she finally started veterinary school. However, after three years Valeria's poor vision made it impossible for her to perform surgical procedures, abruptly ending her lifelong dream. She continued working as a tour guide and eventually got the call that placed her with the KU Honors Program's two-week trips. Despite closed doors and unreached dreams, Valeria is grateful she's found a way to still pursue her passions: working with animals, nature and people. Today, the same students Valeria has shared her country with get to show her Lawrence and American culture. It's her first visit to Kansas (her third time in the U.S.) and Valeria took the time to talk with Jaylaplay about her trip to Lawrence, life in Costa Rica and Pura Vida. **Woman of knowledge:** As a tour guide for the Honors Program's winter break trip, Valeria Solano teaches KU students about the natural areas of Costa Rica. She is visiting Kansas for the first time. What's your favorite part about working with KU students? It's easy because the students want to go to Costa Rica and have specific things they want to see or learn. I think they always learn far more than they expected, so it's a wonderful activity for me and for them. The KU program is only two weeks, so how do you spend your time the rest of the year when you're not giving tours? I do a lot of work with street animals. In September and October, when it's the rainiest time in Costa Rica, I rescue cats and dogs that are very ill. Some friends and I take them in, help them and find them homes. That's what I enjoy most in my life. Tourism is work I enjoy, but it's not my passion. It gives me the money to help animals. What do you think of Kansas so far and how does Lawrence compare to Costa Rica? Everybody I have met is so nice. It's amazing you can just leave your umbrella outside Also, I spend time as a translator for medical symposiums. I speak Portuguese because my mother was Brazilian, and after the swine flu pandemic many physicians moved to Costa Rica for medical symposiums, and they hired me as a translator. When I was a kid, I never thought that Portuguese would ever help me; but with time, every single thing I have learned, even the three years of veterinarian school, has helped me with something. of places, because in Costa Rica it would get stolen. Also, Lawrence is organized, clean and there's a specific architectural style in the buildings and throughout the neighborhoods, which is fascinating. Also, the campus impresses me. The University of Costa Rica is a wonderful school, but it doesn't have anything similar to KU's buildings. What are you looking forward to most about your visit? The main thing is seeing my nieces and nephews (KU students) and Mary Klayder (Honors Program advisor). I wouldn't mind if there was a tornado here and I couldn't go out as long as I get to see them again. Also, learning about campus life in the United States is really interesting for me, so I want to see campus and Lawrence. I'd also like to see a natural area here because I really enjoy that as a biologist. What is the biggest difference between the lifestyles of KU students and Costa Rican students? Mainly, Costa Rican students live with their families and here they don't. There's good and bad in both. We have the company of our families, but then maybe we have to deal with family problems when we're trying to study. As for Kansas, I don't know how it feels to be far away from family, but I would probably miss them a lot. On the other hand, it might be easier to study. What advice do you have for college students who have their minds set on something, but it doesn't work out? With years you learn that many things you want in this life will never happen, and many things that you don't want to happen will happen, but you learn to have peace with time. You have to work hard for what you want, but even if you do your best and it doesn't work out, there's always a great Plan B and Plan C. Maybe you have [what you want], but if not, God has it for you. What's one of the biggest differences between American and Costa Rican culture? Americans need something to be satisfied and we feel satisfied. We don't need something to feel happy. Pura Vida is a common expression in Costa Rica. It's literally translated as, "pure life." I can ask someone, "Pura Vida? Is everything OK?" Or I can ask, "How is your father? How was your test?" and people answer, "Pura Vida," life is good by itself. No matter what comes, it's good to be alive. // SARAH CHAMP brings changes to cupcakes. An assembly line-style bakery lets the customer pick the cake, filling and topping. INDEX Rainy day.

"You never know when you're going to have an emergency," Kristy Bellinger, Health and BOND GOLD BOND INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 2.99 LB 1.50 LB Photo by Lindsay Siegle Just in case. Preparing a first aid kit with medical essentials will help in emergency situations. Bellinger recommends keeping a first aid kit in your car for on-the-go emergencies and another kit at home. She says first-aid-kit essentials are gauze, Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, Asperin, a blanket, a pocket mask for CPR, gloves, a thermometer and triangular bandages for fashioning arm slings. Safety Director at the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross, says. Bellinger has used her own first aid kit to help friends and even strangers in need. "I would recommend for all college students to have a first aid kit of some kind." If you're putting together a smaller kit, perfect for fitting in your purse or backpack. Bellinger recommends four products: gloves, Band-Aids, gauze and a roller bandage. You can ditch the guesswork by buying pre-assembled kits, which many stores sell. Walmart and Amazon.com sell kits for as little as $12. // LINDSEY SIEGELE GET SOME CULTURE // ROCK CULTURE CON > It's not all about fast food and beer pong.

Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Nevada did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season." Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "I don't care if it hurts in the 800," Neville said. "It's the last event."

Rebecca Neville (3,125 points) When the biggest surprise about a Saturday night arrest is that the point guard wasn't there, that's an issue. A DUI is an issue. A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I'm desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a lot of basketball games. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2005. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be.

TRAVEL Student to take "freedom ride" across country BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletcher@kansan.com The first "freedom ride" took place almost 40 years ago when more than 400 black and white civil rights activists rode from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans on public buses to protest against segregation laws in the South.

William Dale will get the chance to retrace the route of the original "freedom riders" in early May, joining a few of the original freedom riders and learning about civic engagement. "The students selected are the civic engagers of tomorrow. They are passionate about a plethora of issues," Dale said. "I hope to bring that passion back to KU. I want to learn from them and teach others From May 6 to May 16, Dale will travel by bus from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans just like the first freedom riders. The students will make stops at many of the locations that the original riders visited, which include Atlanta's Morehouse College; the Aniston, Ala., Bus Station; Vanderbilt University's First Amendment Center; the historic First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala.; and finally will end the trip in New Orleans with a rally to welcome the original "freedom riders." about my experience." Dale said he was looking forward to the trip. He said he wanted to be able to discuss current social issues with other like-minded students.

With spring here, dark ensembles that consist of heavy, waterproof fabrics are making way for lightweight, cheerier-hued outfits. Several items of clothing signify that spring has sprung, but perhaps the piece that resonates most with the carefree feel of warm weather is the dress. When the sun makes an appearance, various dresses spring forth: floucy, short, floral, tight, collared, structured, free-flowing, etc. "The more, the merrier" is my motto when it comes to dresses, and I leap at every opportunity I get to wear one. However, until just this year, I have shied away from one type: the maxi dress. I simply Great drink specials everyday! had no idea how to pull it off. Do I combine the dress with a cover-up or wear it by itself? What kind of footwear looks best? Do I have to add a boho flair, or can I go for a structured look? Thankfully, the website www. whowhatwear.com offered helpful advice. For daytime, pick a dress made of lightweight fabric (like cotton), unfussy footwear (flat sandals, for instance) and add a few accessories that bring out your personality (hats, rings, belts, etc.) Various cover-ups can be used for different occasions, such as leather jackets, cardigans or denim jackets. For evening, simply up the glam factor by adding stand-out accessories (cocktail rings, glitzy hair pieces and belts) and supplementing with extra height in the footwear department (in the form of wedges). // CHELSEA THENO Great drink specials everyday!

The man is sitting on a couch, wearing a dark sweater with a white shirt underneath. The child is sitting on his lap, wearing a black dress with a white collar and a bow on her head. Both are smiling and looking at each other. // CAROLINE KRAFT Fondest memories: Caroline Kraft sits on her grandpa's lap as a child. The loss of her "Papa" has left a void in her life but her memories of him and his influence are still present today. Your average 80-year-old might sit inside to avoid heat stroke during the Oklahoma summertime, but not my grandpa. Papa could be found drenched in sweat, mowing his lawn in a straw hat, khaki shorts and a short-sleeved collared shirt. He had a full head of hair and bright blue eyes. Papa played tennis every day of his life and his small yet muscular frame showed it. He was always full of life; he had a hot temper and a good sense of humor. My brothers and I spent much of our childhood at my grandparents' house, and those days are by far some of my fondest memories. Contributed photo My grandpa was a man of routine. He woke up at 6 a.m. everyday to get the paper. Dressed in his pajamas and leather house slippers, he always ate cornflakes and a banana for breakfast. He would cheerfully ask my brothers and me, "Did you make straight A's at school today?" Sometimes the question alone motivated me to study harder. Papa was always on time, whether he was taking my brothers and me to sports practices or paying bills. He was also a worrywart. He never pulled out of the driveway without reminding everyone to wear a seat belt, and he always carried spare change, a pocket knife and a handkerchief with him, just in case. Papa was the most reliable person in my family. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease when I was in sixth grade. Papa's memory continuously worsened. He stopped being able to sleep through the night, and he often became disoriented and fell. My grandma couldn't take care of him without compromising her own He suffered his first of several minor strokes during Christmas of 2000. His brain never fully recovered from the damage of each stroke, and his memory noticeably declined. health, so after two years, my family placed him in a nursing home. Visiting my grandpa in the nursing home was difficult for me. I will never forget the confused look on his face whenever he forgot what he was saying mid-sentence. Sometimes he would become angry with himself and he would tense his hands, squint and let out a deep sigh. I wanted him to know it was OK that he couldn't remember. He would ask me the same questions over and over again during our visits. I tried to answer each time with the same enthusiasm. Despite the repetition, my visits with Papa were never boring. Papa was feisty. He often had something to say about the nurses once they left the room. "Have you ever seen a butt that big?" he'd ask me, his eyebrows scrunched together in wonder. As irreverent as those comments were, I couldn't help but smile. Eventually, Papa's memories regressed to his life in the '50s and '60s. He would tell me how excited he was to go back to his home in Oklahoma City, a house I had never known. He fought in World War II all over again in his dreams. He would yell and fight the sheets in his sleep, reliving the traumatic memories that forever changed him. Papa also kept his hot temper. One time he had a roommate with a bad memory and incontinence who wouldn't stay on his own side of the room. Papa would tell my family how much he hated "that son of a bitch," and we weren't surprised when Papa gave his roommate a black eye for rummaging through his stuff. When Papa was 89, he fell at his nursing home and suffered a hematoma, a life-threatening bruise, on his brain. He had to have emergency surgery to remove the excess blood between his brain and his skull. Papa fought to recover for the next three weeks, but more complications arose, and my family started preparing for the worst. My mom told me to visit him alone so I could say goodbye. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I walked into his room, filled with beeping machines and monitors. He was wearing an oxygen mask, and he had a tube down his throat. Papa was thin and frail, far from the days that he could chase me down the hall and throw me over his shoulder. His eyes were barely open, and he couldn't speak. I just held his hand gently and tried to ignore the knot of emotions throbbing at the back of my throat. Papa had forgotten many names by that time, but before I left, he managed to say, "I love you, Caroline." I told him, "I love you, too," determined not to cry in front of him. The night my grandpa died, my parents insisted that I go home early because I needed sleep for school, but I refused to leave. Even though they said that Papa probably had another day left, an overwhelming eerie feeling wouldn't let me walk away. The room was dark. My uncles, aunts, mom, brothers and I were standing around his bed. My grandma was holding onto Papa's hand as if she could keep him from leaving. The nurses had already shut off the monitors. The only sound in the room was the compression of his oxygen tank. I watched his face. His eyes were closed and his mouth hung partially open, as if he was too tired to bring his lips together. In an instant, his face lost its warm glow, and everyone knew his struggle was over. My grandma started weeping. Everyone else began comforting each other. I imagined his soul floating above all of us and slipping out the window into the night sky. I was too shocked to cry. My emotions couldn't register what I had witnessed. I drove home feeling separated from reality. I went to school the next day and told my friends about Papa's death in a matter-of-fact way. I couldn't understand why I didn't feel miserable. I thought the first day after a loss would be the hardest, but I was wrong. My first tears came at Papa's funeral, and four years later, I am still mourning his death. I am grateful that he had a long life, but it doesn't make me miss him less. I have learned that the pain of loss reappears in unexpected moments. During my high school graduation, I wished that I could hear Papa cheering for me in the crowd like he did for my brothers. Even now, there are moments I feel like I really need his support. Time cannot fill the void that death leaves behind, but I know that Papa is still alive in my memories, and his positive influence on my life is permanent. 15 04 21 11 fit - from the und- ! birds and at more flowers. hat they campus enter for af native how we feet area creation its. reduce hope to escape brings changes to cupcakes.

TRAVEL Student to take "freedom ride" across country Freshman travels the original route BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletcher@kansan.com The first "freedom ride" took place almost 40 years ago when more than 400 black and white civil rights activists rode from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans on public buses to protest against segregation laws in the South. William Dale will get the chance to retrace the route of the original "freedom riders" in early May, joining a few of the original freedom riders and learning about civic engagement. Dale, a freshman from Topeka, is one of 40 students from around the country to participate in Freedom Riders 2011, which is being organized by the Public Broadcasting Service series "American Experience."

The Olympic men's shot put featured eight of the world's best shot putters. Armstrong who came into the competition ranked No. 7 in the world won the meet with a throw of 70 1/4". cube provided by event organizers in about three minutes, well shy of his best time of 38 seconds. He started doing the Rubik's Cube to calm his nerves when he was competing for the University of Georgia. Chris Bronson/KANSAN The shot put was held in the streets for the first time in the United States in a makeshift ring. Armstrong said the event organizers got everything right. The only nuisance was the telephone line hanging overhead. Armstrong hit the power line on one of his warm-up throws. Despite this, the consensus from the competitors was that Lawrence successfully pulled off the shot put. "It's really unique to see that kind of crowd gathered for just one event in track and field," said Adam Nelson, who placed third. "I think Lawrence did a fantastic job hosting it." An estimated 2,500 fans really got into the meet when Nelson stepped up to take his first throw. His warm-up routine consists of him urging the crowd into a rhythmic clap, enthusiastically pulling off his shirt, and then hopping down the runway. Nelson did this on all six of his "I was hoping to get a throw out over 70 feet today," Nelson said. "But I was just having a slight technical, like a timing issue at the front of the circle." throws. Like Hoffa, Nelson felt he could have thrown farther.

Neville won the 100-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash, and the high jump. She also placed seventh in the shot put. The weather was colder than anticipated, resulting in slower times in Neville's events. Despite this, Neville said she was pleased with her performances. "The 100 hurdles, it was a slow time, but it was 40 degrees outside," Neville said. "So to run a 14.35 in 40 degree weather, that's OK." "High jump was awesome today," Neville said. "My third attempt I did a time foul so I couldn't get to do my third attempt, but it's OK." The 200-meter dash was Neville's last event of the day. She came close to setting her third personal best of the day, finishing with a time of 25.12 seconds. So far, Neville is performing better than she did two weeks ago at the Texas Relays, and more importantly, she is beating a rival. Despite not doing her best in the hurdles, Neville did set a personal record in the shot put and high jump. She recorded a jump of 5 feet, 5.75 inches in the high jump and a recorded a throw of 31 feet, 5.25 inches in the shot put. "A girl that I'm beating right now from Nebraska beat me at Indoor Big 12," Neville said. "That's just showing me how much better I'm getting as we move on in the season." Neville said she planned to take an ice bath, eat a good meal and get a good night's sleep in preparation for the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run set for Thursday. She said she is more than ready for the competition and plans to "kick butt." "I don't care if it hurts in the 800" Nevile said.

A pair of on-campus fights with members of the football team is an issue. Three different battery charges are issues. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, it's because I was desperately turning a blind eye because, hey, these guys are world-class athletes, and they sure do win a lot of basketball games. It is past time to shine a harsh and unforgiving light on the Kansas basketball program and the real and numerous problems that have been haunting it over the last few years. This isn't to say these are all bad kids. The Morris twins have grown into quality young men since coming to Kansas and Robinson has been through more crap than anyone could be reasonably expected to handle over the last few months. And Self is by no means an evil tyrant. He genuinely cares about the off-court development of his players, and has sent off guys Start six years ago, when J.R. Giddens was stabbed in a 2005 fight that witnesses said he instigated. C.J. Giles, who was there at the Giddens stabbing, was arrested for battery in 2006. Sherron Collins was charged with sexual assault, though the charges were dropped when Collins filed a counterclaim for defamation. Then there was Markieff Morris' battery charge. Morningstar's DUI. Fights with the football team, highlighted by Tyshawn Taylor's injury and Facebook posts. Little's battery charge. And now Robinson's. If you want to criticize Kansas coach Bill Self, don't do it over tournament losses. Criticize him for the rap sheet his program has accumulated over his tenure. — namely Giles and Giddens — who were a real detriment to the program. But the problem clearly hasn't been addressed in full, and it needs to be. Forget, for a moment, wins and losses, and look at that list. Forget that you're a Jayhawk fan, and tell me if you would root for that team. Pretty tough, isn't it?

He uses the $5,000 he received from the government during the last academic year for food, housing, books and tuition. But don't worry: Smith assures you that you're getting your money's worth. Smith, like the 4,283 other KU students last year, received Pell grants, which are need-based government grants for low-income college students. These KU students received more than $16 million in Pell grants last year. Nationally, almost 8.9 million students received more than $32 billion in Pell grants for the 2010-2011 school year. The University and many of its students are breathing sighs of relief after the April 15 passing of the U.S. budget for the 2011 fiscal year. The budget maintains the maximum Pell grant at $5,500 for an academic school year, same as the previous year. The funding of the Pell grant program was a subject of heated debate between Democrats and Republicans in the battle over the 2011 budget. However, the program escaped almost unscathed from the $38 billion in cuts to this year's budget. "Obviously we are relieved that the maximum Pell grant stayed at what it was," said Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations for the University. "Any time it changes, it affects the lives SEE GRANT ON PAGE 2A Pell Grant Funding for the 2009-2010 school year 3,634 students received Pell Grant funding 650, or 15 percent of those students also received supplemental Pell Grants 650 students 3,634 students Last week, supplemental Pell Grant funding was cut from the budget, meaning that students will no longer receive funding for summer programming. CAMPUS A bloom's end Facilities Operations uproot tulips every year to replant BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com In honor of today's Earth Day, a working group of the KU Center for Sustainability is presenting ideas on how the University can reduce They tear out hundreds of red and yellow tulips, which are already void of most of their petals, and put them into large trash bags. When the group of five men is done with its annual razing, there is no evidence of the tulips that once marked the campus. The tulips are planted in November, start blooming in mid- to late- spring for about a month, and are replanted every year to start blooming again in spring. "It's just part of the tradition at KU" said Shawn Harding, assistant director of the landscape department. Facilities Operations is in charge of eight flowerbeds that contain about 11,000 bulbs and hundreds of shrub beds. In addition to planting flowers, the crew picks up trash in the morning, mows the grass at least once a week and otherwise maintains the about 1,000 acres of land on campus. "I just want to have a nice place for people to come and learn," Harding said. "I want it to be a destination." Although some would like to keep the uprooted tulips instead of throwing them away, the University is not allowed to give them away because the flowers are bought with state money. its waste and environmental effect. The group wants to, among other things, incorporate more food-bearing plants for birds and other animals, storm water management and plant more perennials, which last all year, rather than seasonal flowers. The problem with perennials, Harding said, is that they don't produce flowers this time of year. "There is a certain aesthetic that's a part of our campus culture," said Jeff Severin, director for the KU Center for Sustainability. "We have a lot of great examples of native planting at student rain gardens that demonstrate how we can do a better job with storm water management." The KU Student Rain Garden is a 5,200 square feet area of various plants in front of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center that is entirely maintained by students. Harding said the University had done a lot to reduce cost and waste in the past few years. This year, he hopes to do even more. Harding joined the University's landscape department only a few months ago. "I'm trying to do stuff that doesn't require a lot of water and I'm trying not to fertilize at all", Harding said. The only fertilizer the University is going to use this year is a selfmade compost mix. "We keep all of the leaves and any green stuff in a big pile and we just keep turning it," Harding said. "It definitely helps us reduce our cost. We can just fill that in and let it decompose." Facilities Operations also tries to use native grasses in areas that aren't high in traffic, such as the West Campus, and limit the number of flowerbeds. This reduces costs and the number of ripped out flowers.

April 28 NATIONAL Government hopes to curb debt with ceiling BY PAT MUELLER mueller@kansan.com Every day, the government spends more money than it takes in. To compensate, it borrows money from both local and overseas investors. However, in mid-May, the government will have to stop incurring debt. A debt ceiling is set at $14,294 trillion, and the U.S. Treasury Department estimates the United States will reach that limit by May 16. Congress first capped the national debt in 1917 to control spending. Since then, Congress has changed the cap more than 75 times, including ten times since 2001, according to the Congressional Research Service. "It's a political means to express outrage at deficits," said John Keating, associate professor of economics. "The same legislative body that votes for the deficits gets to vote, 'Oh, we're so against it.'" Keating said he was not aware of any other major economy having a debt ceiling. "How much we can tax, of course, we decide," Wu said. "We vote. But rule number one of democracy is you cannot vote if you are not born yet." The fundamental reason to have a ceiling is to control the amount of debt future generations would inherit, said Shu Wu, associate professor in economics. If the government does not raise the limit before mid-May, it will have few options to balance the budget. According to Wu, the government can either default on its debt, sell the majority of its assets, print off the money needed to repay investors, grow the economy to increase tax base, or raise tax rates. However, most of these options come with negative consequences ranging from high interest rates to extremely high inflation, or require more than one month to complete, when the nation's debt will have already surpassed the ceiling. According to both Keating and Wu, the solution would be to raise the debt ceiling in the short run and increase government rev- KUJH TV-News Tune in to KUJH for more information on this story. venue in the future. But increasing revenue means increasing taxes. "We have a lot of congressmen that don't want to raise taxes because that upsets constituencies and voters," Keating said. "So, deficits are easy to run; hard to fix." Many members of Congress do not want to raise the debt limit without limiting spending as well. "The bigger economic threat that confronts our country, are the consequences of allowing our country's pattern of spending and borrowing to continue without a serious plan to reduce that debt," said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., in a speech to Congress on March 30. Moran has said he would not vote for a bill that did not include limits on government spending. Congress is debating a bill to raise the debt limit. - Edited by Helen Mubarak - On April 18, in the Mississippi parking garage in the 1200 block of Oread Avenue a person yelled obscenities at a parking employee during a dispute.

Smith, who is a 26-year-old non-traditional student paying for school without parental aid, said he has about $30,000 of debt from student and KU Endowment loans. Smith said that without the Pell grants he would have had to pick up a full-time job instead of the part-time job he now works as a medical receptionist at Lawrence Therapy Services. While the traditional Pell grants survived, the supplemental Pell grants — which President Obama had championed — fell to the chopping block. The program existed for only a year and "It would have made it very difficult to do well in school," he said. "Things are difficult enough as they are."

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2011 / NEWS / 3A LAWRENCE Cupcake Construction Company to open in early May BY AMANDA KISTNER akistner@kansan.com In the mood for some sparkling raspberry lemonade? How about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? These flavors and many more will soon be offered in cupcake form downtown. The Cupcake Construction Company, an interactive cupcake bar, will open in early May at 727 Massachusetts St., where Pink Box Bake Shop used to be. The shop will be construction themed, with the cupcake itself as the foundation. Customers can walk in and choose foundation flavors such as rich chocolate, traditional carrot and chai. Next comes the interior, or the cupcake's filling, with flavors including key lime, Bavarian cream and creamy mint. The third step in the construction is the roof, which can be any one of 18 flavors, such as marshmallow, root beer or peanut butter. Luxury amenities top off the cupcake, ranging from Pop Rocks to chopped pecans. Owners Michael and Megan Kricsfeld got the idea to open a cupcake after noticing the increasing popularity of cupcakes. Megan wanted to open a shop that catered to men just as much as women and shied away from the pink frills many cupcakeries have. After doing cupcake catering for a while, the couple started looking for a retail location. They chose Lawrence because they have a lot of connections with the city and the University. "There is a very sentimental feeling we have in our hearts towards Lawrence," Michael said. Michael graduated with an MBA from the University in 2005, and the couple got engaged on Massachusetts Street, making Lawrence the perfect location. The Cupcake Construction Company will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, with weekend hours possibly extended until 11 p.m. Catering for weddings, birthday parties and corporate events will be available, as well as individual cupcakes, cupcakes by the dozen and do-it-yourself cupcake kits.

"The Greatest Movie Ever Sold." Or more precisely, "Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," a title that exemplifies the very thin line between art and commerce that Spurlock attempts not to cross while telling all. The pomegranate juice company paid around $1 million for those naming rights, a couple of actual commercials embedded in the movie and major screen time. Despite the transparency and full disclosure, something gets lost as the distance between filmmaker and subject disappears — I think we Regardless, with Spurlock, irony, slapstick and complete immersion are as much a part of the documentary equation as information. We saw that taken to unhealthy extremes in "Super Size Me." Spurlock comes across as driven more by curiosity and comic prospects than concern or outrage. call it objectivity. With "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" Spurlock creates a good time along with some surprisingly salient observations as he tries to keep his balance on this very slippery slope.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: M equals O REVIEW Despite promising material, 'Elephants' lacks chemistry LOS ANGELES — "Water for Elephants" gives off an air of self-satisfaction, and you can see why. What film wouldn't be pleased with having a No. 1 bestseller as source material, an unapologetically picturesque world for its setting and major players such as Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and a superb Christoph Waltz as its stars? What's not to like? MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE There is quite a bit to enjoy in a film that certainly qualifies as broad-based popular entertainment. But because the ingredients are so promising, there hangs over this serviceable project the wish that it had turned out better still. The absence of convincing romantic chemistry means that the emotional connection that should be this film's birthright is not there. That spectacle comes courtesy of the 1931 Benzini Bros. circus setting of Sara Gruen's epic romance about a man, a woman and a 9,000-pound elephant. If things had gone as planned, young Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson) would never even have heard of Benzini Bros. But his hopes of becoming a veterinarian with a Cornell degree are dashed, and the Depression-era freight train he hops in despair turns out to house the circus in all its ragtag glory.

CSL Plasma Jacob gets his introduction to circus life from the veteran Camel (Jim Norton), a kindly gentleman who shows him the ins and outs of this self-contained universe. Jacob starts out shoveling manure, but animals soon become his area of expertise. Jacob can't help but be drawn to the beautiful platinum blond Marlena (Witherspoon), whose liberty horse act is the Benzini show's star attraction. She's grateful to have the benefit of Jacob's veterinary knowledge, but she is also very much married to August (Waltz), the show's magnetic owner and animal trainer. The turning point in "Water for Elephants" is August's acquisition of Rosie, an enormous beast with a reputation for being "dumb as a bag of hammers." When Rosie brings out August's savage side, it proves an opportunity for Marlena and Jacob to spend quality time together. The weak link in this melodramatic chain is Pattinson's performance. The absence of chemistry here is especially noticeable. "Water for Elephants" offers a lot to look at, just not enough to feel.

Free for all I just saw a guy with a Phillies hat on and was excited for a split second because I thought maybe the Morris twins were back on campus. Ferris Bueller ... can I have your day off?

So what if I sometimes put on my fanciest dress and talk to the mirror in a British accent? Someone has to be ready to step in as Prince William's mistress. I tried to turn in my chemistry lab report but it told me it was too big. So much is wrong with this. I would rather Tea Bag a blender than start this paper tonight. Just saying. Now it would be so much better if i didn't need glasses to see all the HOT guys walkin' on campus! Dear Pothaeads, why do you have a "holiday," if you smoke every day? I don't need a holiday for being really really good-looking, even though I do that every day. I was born six months after my parents graduated; I think I am a stacks-baby. I have a real love/hate relationship with hipsters. I have everything they stand for, but I would love to have sex with one. I'd love to light up a doob with Yoda. College, what did you do to my life? I get creeped on by this guy at parties I go to, then a month later I get asked out by a girl only to find out a couple of weeks later that girl is the older sister of the guy that creeps on me. Dr. Phil, here I come. Stinky people ... stop sitting next to me. I hate roommates who are too stupid to stop drinking on weeknights and continue to complain that they're failing classes. I'm skipping class today ... So I can do work for another class. I'm never sure if I should feel flattered or betrayed when I see something that I put as my Facebook status popping up on the FFA 20 minutes later. Dear frat guys, You're no longer allowed to make fun of us girls for going to the bathroom in groups until you can walk by yourself to class. According to Cosmo, 64 percent of guys wish their girlfriends wouldn't write lovey-dovey things on their walls. PLEASE TAKE A HINT. Dude, I politely said I wasn't interested. Why would that make you think you should stand outside my classes and wait for me. I can see you stalking me! Sexual assault is an issue that faces all students CAMPUS ISSUES As Sexual Assault Awareness Week slowly winds down, we must evaluate why this week is so important. One in six college students will be assaulted before graduation. We attend a University with more than 30,000 students. Why don't we hear more about it? When we hear stories about these crimes, it's easy to feel sorry for the victims at the moment and then brush off the issue. Even worse, we may blame the victim for his or her assault. "She looked like a slut that night; she asked for it." "She shouldn't have had that much alcohol." "He wasn't molested. He enjoyed it." "They have been dating for three years. It isn't rane." If it is not consensual, regardless of clothing, alcohol, gender roles or being in a committed relationship, it's assault. As a society, we need to eradicate the problem at its root. We have to change this blaming mindset many people tend BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com to have. Victims of sexual assault have very little to gain by making up or exaggerating their stories. Listen to them. Do not judge them or the situation. The pain of sexual assault doesn't end when the act ends. There are many long lasting psychological and physical effects victims face. This may include: flashbacks, self-guilt, difficulty concentrating, stress, nightmares, ability to love, STIs or even unwanted pregnancies. It's easy for victims to blame themselves or to ignore the issue in fear that no one will believe them. But the silence in itself will cause lasting psychological effects. People who have been sexually assaulted have had every ounce of power, dignity and control stripped from them. We are fortunate as a campus and Lawrence community to have many services available for us to deal with sexual abuse. GaDuGi Safe center has a 24-hour advocate on-call for crisis services. Counseling and Psychological Services provide services at Watkins Memorial Center. Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center put on this outstanding and informative awareness week as well as programs and assistance to victims or people who have questions. In Kansas, sexual assault is a statutory offense. It's a crime to knowingly cause another person to engage in an unwanted sexual act by force or threat, and this is a felony. Sexual battery is the intentional touching of a person who does not consent thereto with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another. This is a misdemeanor. Sexual intercourse includes fingers or any other object that penetrates the vaginal opening for a female or anal opening for a male. This means one can be charged for rape by "fingering." Both men and women should care about sexual assault. Most of us know at least one person who's been assaulted. If not, we have probably been at a party where someone was raped. Or lived in a dorm where someone was assaulted. But we might not know it because the victim decided not to tell anyone because of embarrassment. Break the silence.

Ideas and preconceived notions are challenged and we are formed from adolescent freshman into thoughtful adults ready to take on the future's challenges. During our university experience, we grow in various ways: obviously intellectually, but also socially, emotionally, and morally. We grow through interactions with new and different people, through the relationships we foster, and through the decisions, and sometimes mistakes, we make. Discussion is fundamental to growth. All too often, though, that growth is limited by the way we challenge ourselves. It is easy to debate the funniest reality show on television, or which coffee shop serves the best cup of Joe. Conversations of this nature are usually light hearted, and even should our opinions change, we mature very little. However, by exposing ourselves to discussions involving grander, more troublesome topics, we attain the opportunity for deep sincere change. Though this academic year is approaching its culmination, a final opportunity exists for any student, faculty member, or Lawrence resident to experience a debate on the most bedrock, philosophical, and controverted topic presented by the human experience. On Friday, May 6th, two notable scholars and authors will debate the existence of God. Co-sponsored by the law school's St. Thomas More Society and the Society of Open Minded Agnostics and Atheists, the debate is set for 5:30 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. The debate pits Dan Barker, founder of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, against Dr. John-Mark Miravalle, instructor at the School of Faith and author of "The Drug, The Soul, and God." Questions to either speaker can be submitted by audience members. Events like this are rare, and should be quickly dismissed. Growth demands courage. Remember, an education is more than a degree. I challenge all to attend.

Should we take Trump seriously? Please. That Trump previously teased White House runs in 1988 and 2000 only to continue accumulating real estate and wives, should not deceive us. Consider the words from the horse's own mouth. Now that we've put to rest any lingering questions about whether the self-promoting huckster is merely ginning up publicity for "The Celebrity Apprentice" or that most valuable commodity of them all, himself, let us count the reasons the once-bankrupt billionaire is surely, definitely, undoubtedly serious about his intention to press the flesh at New Hampshire diners and the Iowa State Fair. Take the birther issue. Trump is rich, and, by definition, a very "I've never been as serious as I am now." Trump announced last month. BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com Once convinced that the president was, in fact, born in Hawaii, Trump decided to look into this matter of pressing national concern, and, depending on when you asked him, he now questions the veracity of Obama's account because, in an impressive feat that should qualify anyone for the presidency, "he grew up and nobody knew him," or the birth certificate released by Obama is an outright fraud. At any rate, Trump has serious person to whom we should all be listening. The reality show star and businessman only came to his skepticism about President Barack Obama's place of birth after much thoughtful consideration. apparently dispatched his own team of investigators to Hawaii to further examine the issue. Which brings us to a larger point about The Donald. As recently as 2009, he praised the president as "amazing" after denouncing his predecessor, George W. Bush, as "the worst president ever." Now, because Obama foolishly won't simply demand that OPEC lower oil prices, say belligerent things to our creditor China or demand that the U.S. "take the oil" of Iraq and Libya, the current president merits that dubious distinction. You might argue that electing two "worst presidents" in a row shows the U.S. has had a poor run of things in the last decade, but it says much more about Trump than it does about Bush or Obama. This is a man who's willing to bend his political positions to suit the whims of the latest political climate. Lambasting Bush was cool by 2009, after eight years of foreign policy misadventures and the eruption of an economic crisis. Now, the repudiation And amid the rightward drift of the country, Trump saw the light on a bevy of issues. Once a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-single payer health system, and pro-taxing-the-rich political centrist, Trump veered hard right sometime within the last few years. He now opposes abortion rights, blasts "Obamacare," and spouts reliably conservative bromides on economic policy, to say nothing of his decision to jump on the birther bandwagon and embrace the Tea Party so wholeheartedly as to practically go around donning a Ben Franklin costume. So is Trump serious? Absolutely. How could a man willing to combine the shameless shape-shifting of Mitt Romney with the Tea Party gravitas of Michele Bachman not be a contender? Brinker is a sophomore from Topeka in history. tion of Obama in last year's midterms underscores that the current president has fallen into popular disfavor.

This was part of the first Relay event in the United States to be held in a downtown area. PAGE 8A THE FIELD HOCKEY GAME Jessica Janasz/KANSAN Nick Gordon jumps and wins the long jump competition at Eighth and Massachusetts streets Thursday evening. The long jump competition, along with the shot put competition, was part of the first relay event in the United States to be held in a downtown area. Jumping for attention Champion long jumpers Eric Babb and Nicholas Gordon drew passersbys to the sand pit nrothman@kansan.com BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Eric Babb of Garden City and Nicholas Gordon of Kingston, Jamaica, run and jump as differently as they look. But their greatest leaps in the downtown long jump for the Kansas Relays measured the same: 25 feet, 2.5 inches. Gordon was the winner because his second best jump of 25 feet trumped Babb's of 24 feet, 4.5 inches. "I didn't know that I won until they announced that I won," said Gordon, the University of Nebraska senior and 2009 NCAA indoor champion. Gordon and Babb both acknowledged the differences of running and jumping in a downtown setting. They said the runway was a bit shorter than what they were used to. Gordon said that he had to shorten his stride by two steps. "It takes away from your speed a little bit," he said. "The most important factor in long jump is speed." This encouraged the athletes to just jump and forget about the starting point. So Babb, the University alumnus and former walk-on long jumper for Kansas track and field, compensated for the short runway by taking off several feet ahead of the line for every jump. Long jumpers were allowed to leap from any point they desired. Track and field fans and casual passersby huddled around the fenced pit on Eighth Street between Massachusetts Street and Vermont Street. Some onlookers peered from the windows of upper "I got a little scared," Babb said. "I almost landed out of the pit." level apartments. Most gasped and clapped as jumps soared, legs flailed in the air and sand sprayed from the pit onto the street. "It was a big motivator to have all these friends here," Babb said. Gordon said that he had the most fun before the event even began, when he was warming up and fans started filling the streets. He also noted that despite the victory, he still had several faults in his technique that his coach pointed out. On one jump, Gordon "over-rotated" and fell forward into the sand. On another jump, he landed a bit too early. "If I could fix it in one day, I wouldn't need to practice," Gordon said. Gordon also said that he enjoyed bringing visibility to a sport that often goes unseen. Alain Bailey of Kingston, Jamaica, the 2010 fourth ranked long jumper in the world, and Walter Davis, two-time Olympian in the triple jump, were both listed as participants in the event, but did not jump. — Edited by Sarah Gregory KU athlete places third overall in heptathlon WOMEN'S TRACK 842 KANSAS 101 K-STATE 1152 Sophomore Rebecca Neville finishes third with a time of 2:26.06 during the women's 800-meter run on Thursday morning's final event in the heptathlon. Neville fell to from first to third overall at the conclusion of the heptathlon. Howard Ting/KANSAN gcalvert@kansan.com Rebecca Neville started the second day of the women's heptathlon with the lead and her strongest event, the long jump, still remaining. But after fouling her first two attempts, the long jump became her weakest event of the meet "My last jump I just had to get a mark because if I would have fouled another one I wouldn't have had any points." Neville said. "My last jump, I was way behind the board and my run was completely off!" BY GEOFFREY CALVERT Neville jumped 16 feet, 7.75 inches on her third and final attempt in the long jump, leaving her in seventh place for the event. Neville said she hadn't jumped a distance that short since sixth grade. Neville did manage to have one good event that day, placing third in the 800-meter run. After falling to the back of the pack entering the second and final lap of the 800, she managed a renewed push in the final 200 meters, momentarily challenging for first and safely wrapping up third place in the event. After finishing long jump, Neville still had the javelin throw and the 800-meter run to compete in, but her confidence was shaken. She placed ninth in "I'm a great kicker," Neville said. "I didn't want to fall back that much. I knew they were going to make a push but I knew I could make a harder push." the javelin, ending her chances of taking the heptathlon title, which Nebraska's Rachel Butler won. Butler used a strong second day to move up from third place to win the heptathlon. She said she hoped to lead after the first day, but struggled in the opening events. "I was hoping for a lot better score." Butler said.

We'll run to th Try to jump higher than me. Beat me in a race. We'll run to the third tree one hundred meters away. If you win, the effort will be worth it and I'll leave wanting a rematch. It's only natural. The same goes if the race ends the other way. Kansas Relays has been known to bring out the best in competitors, and last year was no exception. When Olympic gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown came to Lawrence for the Kansas Relays last year, she knew what her competition was: the clock. Try to jump higher than me. Try to throw this 12 pound ball farther than me. Isn't this what competition is about? Isn't this what life, in many ways, is about? It's about competition and the desire to see yourself and your skills matched up against the peers you respect. Try to win. In running, everything is under your control. Your feet hitting the ground in the rhythm that is completely your own. The effort you push behind every backward swing of your arm, it's all determined by you. The will to win is all you. "The meet record was on my mind as I warmed up because it has been here for a long time," Campbell-Brown said after the 200-meter dash last year. "And I felt like things were going great and I should go for it." This is what drives the runners of the world, the athletes of the world, the business men of the world, the writers of the world, and the competitive soul in everyone. And that is why it is so much fun to watch track and field athletes. This week, Lawrence gets to witness some of the best athletes in the world run, throw and compete. If I challenged some of the Olympians, such as Veronica Campbell-Brown, the world's best 200-meter runner in the world, to a 200 I would lose by 12 seconds, which is an eternity in track. But there would be nobody else to blame but myself and her insane ability that completely outshines the world. That is why watching these incredible athletes while you have the chance is such a great opportunity. For every 100-meter dash, one person wins, seven people lose. Yet those seven people that couldn't pull it off move on, they yarn for their chance at a rematch at the next race. They yearn to compete, and track is the most brutally clear sport in the world to physically see the spirit of competition in each individual athlete. Making the turn on a 200-meter dash, legs pounding, arms pushing, athletes show their skills with no veil. There are no pads. There are no bright lights. It's just them, the track, and their competitors. But winning cannot always be everything. If it was, the world would be full of insensitive pricks who don't give a care about anyone else. She got it, beating the Kansas Relays record by .27 seconds with a time of 22.32 seconds. Now, Campbell-Brown is back. The chance to push herself to beat her record will be an inspirational scene, and there shouldn't be anyone wanting to miss it because, in our hearts, we all want to race Edited by Marla Daniels THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 139 MOTORSPORTS Team unveils homemade cars roommen@kansan.com BY ROSHNI OOMMEN It took the entire school year, countless hours and many sleepless nights, but any member of the Jayhawk Motorsports team will say that working on this year's Formula SAE and hybrid cars was absolutely worth it. Every year, the team designs, builds, tests and races a vehicle. The group members unveiled the cars Saturday at the Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire St., showing their friends and families what they created this year. Abby Rimel, a senior from Aurora, Colo., said that for the first time this year, two cars were made, one of which being a hybrid car. Cameron Bryant, a sophomore from Baldwin City, said the team was unique because of the opportunity it offered students on campus. "There's no other project on campus where you get to design every part of it, build it, and then race it and compete against other schools," Bryant said. Rimel, the group's team leader, said the cars would be raced in May and June at collegiate design competitions, where the University of Kansas will compete against more than 140 teams from around the world. She said the cars each cost around $40,000 in order to be well suited for competition. In the past, Rimel said, the Jayhawk Motorsports team has had a strong reputation for doing well in racing competitions. In 2009, the formula car placed third in a national competition in California. And this year is no different. The group's good reputation means that it has a lot to live up to, and a lot to work toward. Bryant said he started volunteering for the Jayhawk Motorsports team in high school student. Bryant said he hoped the group would be able to participate in competitions abroad in the near future including prestigious competitions in Germany. "I won't be happy until we go to Germany." Bryant said. "It's just something we've never done." Steven Heger, a senior from Maize, said he estimated that he spent about 60 hours each week working on the car during the school year. Heger, who was the team's manufacturing leader, said that in the last week, group members spent more than 12 hours each day working on finishing up the cars. "It is worth it," Heger said. "we get to build race cars." JACK D Your brand around you here Two cars were designed, one of them being a hybrid. Both cars will be raced in May and June at collegiate design competitions.

BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Travis Young/KANSAN KU Public Safety officers assessed the damage at $45. But could it have been much more? After an incident of vandalism late at night in Learned Hall earlier this month, some students are questioning the School of Engineering's policy of keeping the building unlocked at all times, saying it could result in students losing hours of work and thousands of dollars of equipment. The school says it hasn't received complaints from students or faculty, and that the individual keypad system on labs with dangerous materials or especially expensive equipment is enough precaution. During the incident in question, two 20-year-old students stole a fire extinguisher and discharged an emergency shower across the hall from a locked lab in the early hours of April 9, according to police reports. The students were arrested, clearing the case, but the aerospace engineering students whose semester-long project sat near the shower remain concerned. Jacob Lynn, a senior from Houston, drafted a letter to The Kansan raising the issue of nonengineering students walking through the building, sometimes at odd hours — and sometimes, to vandalize their work. "It's a problem," he said. "Because the only reason our work wasn't ruined is that there was someone to turn off the shower. If there hadn't been, who knows what could have happened." The shower stands outside the lab and is there to protect from chemical exposure. Once it starts flowing, water gushes out at about 50 gallons per minute — enough force and volume to flood and damage equipment. And it's been discharged by an outsider before, during last year's Engineering Expo, said Glen Marotz, associate dean in the school. But he says that's why the school spent thousands of dollars to install a drain underneath it. said administrators have discussed switching from the 24/7 open policy to keycard-access at night. But the costs of re-keying the doors would be in the thousands of dollars and faculty have decided that taking that step isn't necessary at the present. Jill Hummels, the director of public relations for the school, keycard access upon its completion in May 2012. The newest building in the engineering complex, which also includes Eaton Hall, will have In the meantime, Marotz stressed reporting any suspicious activity to the Public Safety Office — and to him.

KU LAWRENCE X Busker Fest attracts new forms of entertainment Buskers, or street performers, have brought a flavor to the downtown area and it's catching on in a big way. But don't confuse buskers with panhandlers. The difference between the two is that buskers work to provide a service: entertainment. BY MARIT EHMKE editor@kansan.com Robert Knapp, who works at Third Planet on Ninth and Massachusetts streets, says Lawrence is a good place to busk because it is an eclectic community accepting of the arts. "You can't swing a dead cat without hitting an artist in this town," Knapp said. For many, a nice, sunny day means going downtown for a stroll. For Tyler Gregory and his guitar, Sonny Sparks and his bass, John Tuttle and his homemade drum set, Bill Wachspress and his balloons or Tim Dingus and his flaming torches, it's the perfect day to busk. Downtown Lawrence has always been a hip place, but Massachusetts Street is attracting a new crowd aside from the everyday shoppers, joggers and dog-walkers. This acceptance has opened up the city to new opportunities such as Busker Fest. The celebration, which originated in 2008, has put Lawrence on the map as a place to find quality busking by showcasing professional acts, both local and international, as well as providing a performance platform for anyone with a talent to share. This year, Busker Fest will serve as a benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County — if it happens.

Renner will know by May 20 whether or not they have the funding for the festival scheduled August 19 to 21. As of this week, he still needs $2,000 but remains hopeful. "We're 80 percent there," says Renner. In the first year there were 20 hired acts performing at designated pitches. The event has added "They're trying to earn some money. It's an art. I don't see any problem with it." Busker John Tuttle says that performing town where the people and city support it," he said. "So far, that's true. There are more street performers showing up locally." five acts every year, and the number of unhired acts is growing as well, though the exact number is hard to gauge, he said. MATT SARNA Lawrence police sergeant Past performances at Busker Fest have included Voler, an aerialist troupe from Kansas City, Mo., and MamaLou Strongwoman, a woman who can rip phone books in half and fold frying pans into burritos. Among others, Renner hopes to add a contortion to the mix. Not only is Busker Fest good for the buskers, it's good for business, says Kathy Hamilton, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc.

Larry Billings, owner of Lawrence Antique Mall, supports good busking because it brings in customers, but he does not tolerate the kind of panhandling that drives them away. year's tally stands at four so far. According to city ordinance 7891, panhandling and busking are legal as long as there is no verbal request or harassment for money. "Aggressive panhandling is a problem," he said. "It frightens customers." If you ask police Sgt. Matt Sarna about buskers he says, "They're trying to earn some money. It's an art. I don't see any problem with it as long as they're doing it within the law." Busking isn't easy, it's a gamble, says longtime guitar busker Jason Phoenix. Besides needing optimal weather conditions and having to fight dirty hobo stereotypes, buskers are facing the reality that the choice to tip hasn't been an easy one either. Last year, 19 citations were written for aggressive panhandling, which is more than the citations from 2005 to 2009 combined.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO STATE Greensburg theater plans to open in Wichita next year ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — Greensburg plans to open a $2.7 million theater downtown next year, on the fifth anniversary of the deadly May 4, 2007, tornado that destroyed the city. Community leaders credit Wichita theater owner Bill Warren for his help in equipping and designing Greensburg's new Twilight Theatre. Gary Goodman, the theater board member heading the project, told The Wichita Eagle that Warren's involvement, direction and introductions made the theater possible. Warren contributed seats from renovations at his theater to the Greensburg project and introduced board members to theater sound, video and screen vendors at the National Association of Theatre Owners convention last month in Las Vegas. "Without Mr. Warren's guidance, we'd still be moving forward with the theater project, but things would be moving along much more slowly," said Kim McMurry, a teacher at Kiowa County High School and vice chairwoman of the theater board. Warren also contributed the expertise of his building team that included architect Ron Spangenberg, as well as Ken Crockett and Bill Menke from Warren's development staff. "Maybe we realize that theaters can be a very important part of a small town, an anchor of sorts and another step toward rebuilding," Warren said.

For royal honeymooners, it's privacy privacy, privacy. Once they are man and wife, Prince William and Kate Middleton may combine the two by honeymooning at the queen's 50,000-acre Balmoral estate in Scotland, a family holding so vast that the couple could relax without worrying about being tracked by long-lensed paparazzi. They would likely combine a stay in Scotland, a beautiful spot but with iffy weather, with a visit to a reliably sunny locale, royal experts believe.

POLITICS Politicians should be less concerned about grumpy, old men The Tea Party played a pivotal role in propelling Republicans to victory in last year's midterm elections, but a look at its demographics indicates that they are not quite the future of the nation. Oriol Sánchez In a nation that's becoming browner by the day, Tea Partiers are overwhelmingly white, male and older than 55, according to a 2010 CNN poll. They're also socially conservative, breaking with an emerging public consensus in favor of gay marriage. A 2010 poll by CBS and the New York Times found Tea Parties 23 percent less likely than the average respondent to support marriage equality. Movement activists are the types who furiously took to town hall meetings during the health care debate screaming that the Kenyan-socialist president needed to keep his "government hands off my Medicare" Context like this demonstrates what drives the typical Tea Partier. Their corporate backers such as the Koch brothers see the activists as useful idiots in electing anti-tax, anti- BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com regulation Republicans, but there's no denying that the pitchforks and torches crowd represents a very real sentiment, even if it's only felt by a minority of the white and elderly. Though they inveigh against government spending, polling reveals Tea Partiers jealously guard their Medicare and Social Security benefits. When it comes to other segments of the population, though — the young, the black and the poor — their philosophy can best be summed up as "Government largesse for me, but not for thee." A recent New York Times poll found that 55 percent of Republicans supported government-provided health insurance for the aged. When asked whether the poor deserved the same benefit, support plummeted to a scant 25 percent. There's nothing intellectually inconsistent about this. Many Tea Partiers argue that seniors, having paid into the Medicare and Social Security systems for their entire adult lives, are entitled to draw benefits from those programs. The undeserving poor, meanwhile, find themselves in such circumstances due to laziness, choice and immorality. Why should the taxpayer be on the hook for subsidizing such a lifestyle? The problem is that this commonly held perception about poverty is based on national myth. The U.S. may fancy itself a meritocratic society in which there are no bounds to what even the lowest-born can achieve — and there's no shortage of rags-to-riches tales to enliven the national imagination — but such success stories are exceedingly rare. Being born into poverty is becoming a life sentence. Among industrialized nations studied by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in 2010, the U.S.bested only kleptocratic Italy and the socially stratified U.K. on intergenerational social mobility. While the incomes of 15 percent of Danes can be predicted by their parents' incomes, that portion rises to nearly 50 percent in the U.S. The Tea Party movement may not look like most of America, but their voting turnout is far superior to that of the young and the poor. Unless younger generations demand egalitarian economic policies to redress the effects of our present inequities, the Tea Party's misguided views about poverty and the welfare state will continue to guide policy.

HUMOR Let's clear up some misconceptions about National Adderall Day I think we all know what today is, especially living in a liberal-college town such as Lawrence, but I will lay it on you just in case. Today is April 25, more commonly known as 4/25 in the hip crowd, and as National Adderrall Dropping Day in the really hip crowd. I am going to start off by debunking some popular 4/25 myths: It isn't Jack Nicholson's birthday, even though a lot of people used to say that Addies were a bunch of Satanists because their holiday was on the birthday of a person who played a man that tried to kill his wife, son and Scatman Crothers in "The Shining." That's just not true. It is not Jack Nicholson's birthday, and that has nothing to do with our day of amphetamine appreciation. M. SALVATORE Others think we just picked a random day and decided to do BY JAROD KILGORE jkilgore@kansan.com what we do every other day, just more so, and all the others droppers just followed. We have a long counterculture tradition of rebelling against anything and everything, often without reason. That's not true either. The truth is that there were some teens in California who got together at 4:25 every day to remind each other they hadn't eaten yet, and offered one another their sandwiches, because they were "not that hungry today, for some reason." As I heard another fan of 4/25 say in one of my classes earlier this week, "It's my St. Patrick's Day, man." Absolutely, man. Adderall definitely has its side effects, like making me not want to eat and totally chilling me out, but that's cool. It can also make the user a wee bit paranoid. Sometimes people, especially my overbearing parents, ask me, "How's school going?" But I know what they really mean. They want to ask, "Are you doing Amphetamine Salts? WELL, ARE YOU?" No matter what my parents think, on 4/25 you can bet I will take at least my prescribed daily dose (wink, wink). I doubt I will take any more than that though, because my dealer If they ever worked up the courage to actually ask, then I wouldn't have to work up any courage to deny it fully, while spraying Febreze in my room. at Shawnee Mission Medical Center might start asking questions. I used to get the good stuff imported from California, but I lost my hook-up because of a tragic dry-mouth incident, and now I have to go local. I do Adderall because I enjoy it, no matter if my parents, family or especially Corporate America tell me it is wrong. I expect I will be doing it for the rest of my life, which is exactly what I want, because you can't control me. Unless it is approximately 30 minutes after I just dosed, then I will probably do whatever you say, after finishing the dishes and cleaning the microwave.

After cities in Missouri branded "In God We Trust" in their city halls and our president instituted an Annual Easter Prayer Breakfast, I've been thinking about issues of church-state separation: how religion has too much of a role in politics, and how First Amendment issues are being ignored. Contrary to perception, we are not a Christian nation. Our nation was not built on Biblical principles. We are free to believe what we like, but, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter in 1802, the First Amendment built "a wall of separation between church and state." Religion has no place in politics for two main reasons. First, privileging a particular religion over others means privileging a particular group of people over others. The U.S., and almost everywhere else, has a history of religious persecution and violence based on superstitious beliefs. In theory, at least, with the establishment clause, we're all equal under the law, no one is disenfranchised because of his or her faith and no one is forced to Maryland State University That's fine, because individuals and institutions are fully capable of being ethical and moral without Christianity or any religion. BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com pretend to believe something they don't in order to be recognized by the state. No one should make decisions for me based on their faith. I do not have a religious faith; my world view is secular humanism. I am insulted and mildly terrified when a policymaker who has control over my life claims that he opposes climate change regulation based on Bible verses (John Shimkus, R-IL, head of the Environment and Economy Subcommittee), or tells Second, privilegeing a religion means imposing a faith-influenced way of life on others who do not share that faith. While the federal government hasn't actually imposed a religion, some politicians are imposing their religion on those they govern by basing certain political decisions on personal religious beliefs rather than evidence. me how I can or can't deal with my own reproductive health based on something I do not believe. It's insulting to any non-Christian, as well as to the Christians who have an alternative view of Christianity. When politicians do things like this, they assume that everyone shares their worldview. Thus, they don't need any other evidence to back up their positions. The U.S. is composed of many different faiths and nonfaiths. Our politicians abuse their power by not respecting that fact. Think of the justifications for banning gay marriage. It's incredibly difficult to form a convincing secular argument against gay marriage that would appeal to both the religious and non-religious. Instead, politicians and think tanks use religion to support their prejudice and policy against LGBTQ people. Those legislators may truly think that gay people are going to hell, but there's nothing they can do about it, because for the most part many gay people do not share that belief. And they have a right to not be banned from marriage based on someone else's religious convictions. We are free to believe as we like, but we are not free to impose those beliefs on others. Every believer and non-believer thinks they are right. Everyone feels they have access to The Truth and that people who don't believe the same are wrong. But can we agree on one thing? Not everyone believes in God, nor does everyone believe in the same God. The best and most respectful option is to operate as a secular nation and allow people the freedom to act and think in their own lives how they like. The separation of church and state protects both believers and non-believers. We are free from imposed religion and can make our personal choices based on our own convictions. Are you a non-believer?

Scott and Mandy Maatre --- --- 6A NEWS / MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM POLITICS Kansas budget left unsettled ASSOCIATED PRESS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ASSOCIATED PRESS Gov. Sam Brownback urges House Republicans to work together to pass a proposed state budget during a GOP caucus last month. TOPEKA — Kansas legislators return to the Statehouse this week to begin the final push toward the end of the 2011 session and resolving differences over competing $14 billion budget plans. Negotiators met briefly last week to begin discussing the plan, which would spend about $6 billion in state revenues in the fiscal year beginning July 1. What was previously a debate over where to close a revenue gap of about $500 million has now become a conversation about how much of a revenue cushion is enough. Legislators got some hopeful news earlier this month when a group of economists and researchers gave the latest revenue forecast. While the state isn't going to be flush with cash, the pattern of precipitous declines appears to be ending. Still, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades said legislators have a thin margin for error when budgeting. "The House is interested in having a healthy ending balance because if the Consensus Revenue Estimating group is off by 1 percent for the whole year (roughly $60 million), then the current House budget is also under water by $6 million and the Senate is off by $59 million," said Rhoades, a Newton Republican. Negotiations began last week between House and Senate members to work out differences in their budget versions. Several dozen spending items were agreed upon, mostly cuts that one chamber or the other sought. The final bill is likely to have a mix of cuts, revenue shifts and other accounting practices that have become commonplace in the budget process. What it won't have, unlike last vear, is a tax increase. Rep. Richard Carlson, a St. Marys Republican and one of the House's budget negotiators, said the talks have resulted so far in significant progress, particularly because the Senate has accepted $23 million in spending reductions pushed by the House. The cut was contained in a floor amendment made during the budget debate by Rep. Mario Goico, a Wichita Republican. He proposed cutting agencies across the board by 1.193 percent, instead of forcing all state employees, elected officials, judges and agency heads to take as much as a 7.5 percent pay cut. Carlson said the budget should produce an ending balance of between $50 million and $100 million, depending on state revenues. He said a recent cut in the revenue forecast by state officials and university economists shows the need for a cushion. "We're looking at a very unstable economy in terms of revenues for the state" he said. Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, said significant policy differences remain between the House and the Senate. For example, he noted that the House has cut state funds for Washburn University in Topeka in half, voted to cancel subsidies for commercial air flights in Wichita and designated how the Kansas Bioscience Authority can spend its dollars. "I think the policy differences are bigger to deal with than the monetary differences" Morris said. Morris said hed like an ending balance of between $50 million and $100 million, too. "We have a lot of issues to decide before we get there," he said. Senators approved issuing additional bonds to complete renovation of the Statehouse, pushing the total for the project to more than $340 million. The next installment would complete the north wing and a visitors center, landscape the grounds, replace the roof and shore up the dome. The House and Senate also differ on how much to cut school funding. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback proposed cutting the base aid per student by $232, reducing the amount to $3,780. The House goes a bit deeper, cutting by $250, while the Senate made other adjustments to soften the cut to $226 per student. Rhoades and his House colleagues didn't approve any additional spending for the project, but he said the House was likely to approve funding. "My hope would be that it wouldn't take that long and that we can sit down and try to get some agreement," she said. "It would be great for the taxpayers if we got agreement and got out of town and saved everyone that much more money." Senate Ways and Means Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn said the additional bonding authority for the Statehouse renovation would be broken into two parts, one to cover finishing the north wing and another to restore the roof and dome. ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Missouri man who grew up in the Kansas City area and became a Kansas basketball fan thought someday the T-shirt and shorts he wore for every game during the Jayhawks' 2008 national championship season were destined for his man cave, not the police evidence room. "I didn't have a whole lot left in the house," said Chambers, 23, who graduated from Missouri State University last May. "He could have trashed the couch, whatever, but of course he had to put on my KU stuff." That might still happen, but the clothes may not be in the best shape after a naked man barged into Jason Chambers' former home last week and put them on. Instead, the intruder put them on and hid in the house's attic until officers sent a police dog up after him. The resulting encounter left the outfit somewhat tattered. The Kansas City Star reports that a 45-year-old man bolted into Chambers' Springfield, Mo., home after a university security guard spotted him walking through a neighborhood near Drury University. Chambers, who was in the process of moving out of the home, had left the clothes for a later trip so they wouldn't get damaged in the move. CRIME The intruder has been charged with second-degree burglary and second-degree sexual misconduct. Chambers grew up as a Jayhawk fan after his older brother declared their home a "Kansas house." At first he thought the story about the naked man was a joke, but when he found out it was real, he posted on his Facebook page that "A naked hobo destroyed my National Championship outfit." Chambers said he would like to have the clothing returned after the legal case runs its course and the items no longer are held as evidence. In the meantime, the University of Kansas athletic department decided to "show some love" for a Jayhawks fan in the heart of Mizzou country by mailing him a package last week. Associate KU athletics director Jim Marchiony, who reached out to Chambers after reading the initial report in the Springfield News-Leader, declined to say what was in the package but said it was sent after getting Chambers' sizes. "He hung the clothes on the wall as a memento — you just got to love that, love that spirit," Marchiony said. "We thought that for a rabid KU fan in the state of Missouri, we needed to show some love for him." Chambers, who has moved back to the Kansas City suburb of Pleasant Hill, called the school's gesture "awesome" and said he was eager to get the package. Still, he's bummed out about the plight of his lucky outfit. "I wanted it to be in my man cave when I'm an adult, on my wall forever" he said. "We'll what kind of shape it's in when we get it back from evidence. As long as it's not too nasty, I kind of want it back."

And for spare change. On Wednesday, they debated whether to plop down on a corner to play music, or join the passing throngs heading to celebrate "4-20," the unofficial marijuna holiday, at Hippie Hill in nearby Golden Gate Park. "This is public space," Lust said. "There's a new law, but I still don't understand it. Why can't we sit here?" Recent arrivals Joe Lust, 20, of Austin, Texas, Liz Mallion, 22, from Hawaii, and Steven Grossman, 21, of Fort Collins, Colo., said they have quickly learned the nuances of the "sit-lie" law. Warned that they were risking possible police citations and arrest, Pete Irving responded defiantly. A year after a controversial ordinance prohibiting sitting or lying on San Francisco sidewalks was first proposed, police are now enforcing the new law along the city's most famous thoroughfares.

His work goes back to his days as a KU student, when he re-wrote the basketball camping rules to ensure fairness to every. unloved by everyone. Frederick attended the University of Kansas freshman year and later graduated from the University of Iowa. He Frederick M. HOWARD BRIECEY later received a master's from the University of North Carolina followed by a doctorate in communications from the University of Colorado. Now, he's taking his mission to empower and educate fans on a national level. Brian Frederick, executive director of SportsFans.org, a sports insider's guide, said he believes the best way to bring the change fans want is to get the government involved, which is why he works out of Washington, D.C. He said citizens are not getting their fair share from sports owners. "We're socializing the cost of sports, and privatizing the profit," he said. "Shouldn't we be making the money we invest in sports?" Frederick, who spoke Thursday evening at Wagnon Student Athlete Center, talked about issues his organization wants to fix, including changing the college football national championship selection and giving fans access to watch their team on television, regardless of what television market they are located in. He said although people may be reluctant for government involvement in sports, it is already occurring. Frederick, the son of former KU Athletics Director Bob Frederick, said often times, sports stadiums were built using public resources. He argues that since fans' money was used to build the stadium, they are entitled to affordable seats and should not face not being able to watch it on TV. Frederick believes government action is the best solution. "It's not just that you recognize the problem that exists; it's also that you recognize the politics of how to fix it," he said. Edited by Brittany Nelson Teenage boy kills one, injures sister CRIME WICHITA — Police in southern Kansas say a 16-year-old who was on a weekend pass from a children's home has fatally shot a 17-year-old boy and critically wounded his own 17-year-old sister after finding them together. Wichita police say the shooting happened about 1 a.m. Sunday, and the shooter remains at large. Police Sgt. Jesse Boomer says police responded to the home after getting a report of shots fired. He says the boy was dead and the girl was taken to Wesley Medical Center, where she was in critical condition. Police say the shooter was out on a weekend pass from the Wichita Children's Home, an emergency, temporary shelter for abused and neglected teens and runaways.

The Jayhawks won, 4-2. KANSAS 55 Sophomore pitcher Tanner Poppe winds up for a pitch against the Longhorns Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. A strong outing by the Jayhawk pitching staff helped in the 4-2 victory. Series notes Senior T.J. Walz (5-4) took the loss on Friday night, giving up five earned runs over five innings. He hadn't been hit that hard since the first game of the season against TCU. Senior southpaw Wally Marciel pitched a combined 41/3 innings in relief this weekend. He allowed two earned runs and has a 3.94 ERA on the year. Texas' shortstop Brandon Loy had six hits, three runs and one stolen base in the series. Third baseman Erich Weiss tallied six hits, five RBI and hit his second homer of the season. Thursday Kansas 0 Texas 9 Friday Kansas 1 Texas 9 Saturday Kansas 4 Texas 2 BY ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com The Texas Longhorns didn't sneak up on the schedule. They loom on the calendar every year, the date marked if not remembered. In February a poll of college coaches dubbed them Team of the Decade (2000-09) and they won two national titles during that span. But as the Kansas baseball team did in its first matchup of the season against then-No.1 TCU, when they got shelled in the series' first two games, they avoided a sweep with a resilient victory the next day. After a 9-0 loss on Thursday and a 9-1 loss Friday to No. 4 Texas (30-10, 13-6) at Hoglund Ballpark, coach Ritch Price said his team had been in the same situation before. So on the verge of a sweep and facing one of the top rotations in college baseball, the Jayhawks had no choice but to go toe-to-toe with the Longhorns in Saturday's third and final game of the series. It was either that or roll over. "I told our club that we've been in this position a few times already this season where we needed to salvage a victory on the third game of the set," he said. Junior lefty Sam Stafford took the mound for Texas with a 5-0 record and a 1.39 ERA. He had given up two home runs in 45-plus innings, struck out 56 batters and allowed seven earned runs all season entering the game. It wasn't exactly a secret that scoring runs could pose a challenge. Senior shortstop Brandon Macias dug his spikes in the batter's box to lead off the Jayhawks (20-20, 9-9) in the bottom of the first. In a 2-0 count, sitting on a fastball, Macias hit his second homer of the season to deep left field. A shot sophomore third baseman Jake Marasco said went 400 feet. "They're not used to guys coming out and jumping on them early. When we get a home run on the third pitch of the game, it just sets the tone," Marasco said. "The first two games, they were unreal," Poppe said. "They were hitting everything. I just had to go out there and throw my game. I just needed to slow them down a little bit." Sophomore starting pitcher Tanner Poppe (2-4) gladly accepted the one-run lead. He was in the same position against TCU back in February when he pitched six strong innings to avoid the sweep. Saturday he threw 5 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, striking out three and recording his second victory of the season. Seniors Scott Heitusen and Wally Marceli provided relief before junior closer Colton Murray came in to record the final six outs. Murray threw 23 pitches and the Jayhawks went on to a 4-2 victory against an elite program. After allowing 27 hits in the first two games, Kansas' pitching held the Longhorns to seven hits on Saturday. Poppe handed a 3-2 lead to the bullpen. "That'll keep us in the top five of the league and that allows us to do something special in the last month of the season," Price said. Kansas has its eyes set on the Big 12 Tournament, when the top eight out of 10 conference records compete for the conference championship. With matchups against Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas State still to come, the Jayhawks will continue to fight for their season each game. Edited by Brittany Nelson Game to remember Taylor Jungmann in the first game The Longhorns ace, Jungmann, one-hit the Jayhawks in eight innings on the mound. He set the tone for the Longhorns pitching staff all series, in their 9-0 victory over Kansas. M Jungmann Game to forget Walz was hit hard by the Longhorns in five innings on the mound. He gave up 10 hits for five runs, in the Jayhawks 9-1 loss to Texas in the second game of the series. T.J.

Key game Saturday's game The Jayhawks avoided being swept by the Longhorns, in a 4-2 victory Saturday.

Kansas stayed at .500 overall and at .500 in conference play with the win. . --- --- --- / NEWS / MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KJ RELAY REWIND BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com The Kansas women's 4-4-400-meter relay team won in the second to last event of the afternoon as a result of two strong performances from sophomore Taylor Washington in the second leg of the race and freshman Diamond Dixon in the third. Of course, the Jayhawk men made sure they weren't outdone, winning their 4-x-400-meter relay, the final event of the Kansas Relays. "After the girls won, we had to win ours or they'll have bragging rights on us for the week," said senior Keron Toussaint, who ran the final leg of the men's relay for Kansas. While all four members of each relay队 ran well, it was Dixon and Toussaint who stood out. Dixon won the women's 400-meter dash not even two hours prior to the relay. Although Dixon's legs weren't fresh for the relay, she said she wasn't as tired as one would anticipate "I really want to be there for my team," Dixon said. "I'm out there and in it to win it." Dixon's overall performance in the Relays earned her high praise from senior Kendra Bradley, who ran the first leg. "I heard that she was fast out of high school but after actually seeing her run, I did not hear enough about her," Bradley said. The Jayhawks threatened the meet record, falling short by only two seconds. They gained the lead for good in the second leg of the meet, run by Washington. 400 runner," Bradley said. "Being second leg is all about getting out. She held on close until her last 100 and then she kind of took out." "Taylor is our really strong The men's relay was no less impressive, and even more exciting. Kansas maintained position in the top three or four runners for the duration of the race, but it wasn't until Toussaint's final 200 meters that they moved into first. It was a sweet ending to a tough three days for Toussaint. He was scheduled to run in the 400 meters, but he withdrew because of a 24-hour flu. Kansas coach Stanley Redwine allowed Toussaint to run in one event, and he made the most of it. "I just wanted to win," Toussaint said with a smile. Edited by Emily Soetaert BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com "That's the first time I've thrown outdoors this year." Finley, a sophomore said. "So it's not a bad mark to open up with." A 12-pound ball arching 65 feet through the air and thumping the ground is something that most people applaud in awe at. Mason Finley's father doesn't, he expects his son to send the shot put at least 65 feet. On his last throw of the day, Finley met the mark, barely. With a recorded 19.84-meter throw (65.09 feet), Finley won the men's shot put event on day three of the Kansas Relays. The 19.84 meter throw doesn't match his personal best of 20.71 meters, but it was considerably farther than the second and third place throws of 17.66 meters and 17.42 meters. The Colorado native's mark at this year's Kansas Relays was a proud moment and he said he was happy he could win his home meet; however, he has his eyes set on something bigger. "My goal definitely is the national championship," Finley said. Last year, Finley finished second in the shot put and the discus at nationals. He said he has improved more in his shot put this season and is aiming to win the event at this year's national championship. And despite his runaway victory at the Kansas Relays, he knows he still has to work on his throws. "I could get a little more con sistent. I have a lot of form stuff to work on." Finley said. Based off his performance on Friday, there was not much to point at when looking at his form. He didn't once step out of the throwers circle. But that's what is wrong with his form in his mind. He says he might need to foul more to really push himself. "Maybe I'm thinking about it too much and making myself shorter," Finley admitted. "I like to make myself a little bigger at the end." Even if he was making himself "shorter", his stature and his performance didn't exude that. Finley competed in the men's discus on Saturday.

A: Duke, Kentucky and Ohio State. —kuathletics.com 'Top Gun,'sports not so different MORNING BREW During the past weekend, I found myself watching "Top Gun" for what must be the zillionth time. I was appalled to find out that such an epic movie, which is forever enshrined in American culture, received only two stars on the rating guide from my cable provider. After all, this is the movie that gave us the "Danger Zone." BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com "Top Gun" works because it plays to the strengths of its actors, and avoids their weaknesses. In the movie, Tom Cruise is allowed to portray the brash, young-gun image that he wanted to show the American public. The role fits Cruise. At the same, time "Top Gun" does a great job camouflaging his biggest weakness — his height. Cruise supposedly stands at only 5-feet-7. Co-stars Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer stand 6-feet-2 and 6-feet, respectively. Yet the height difference is never seen throughout the movie. At most, Cruise looks just a couple of inches shorter than taller co-stars. In Cruise's later film "Cocktail", Cruise's character is noticeably shorter than co-star Bryan Brown. Now, I'm not saying the movie is bad because the height difference is noticeable. However, THE MORNING BREW I think that if the filmmaker doesn't care enough to try to mask it then the movie may not be worth watching. The same is true for sports teams. The best sports teams can hide its weaknesses and camouflage them by playing to its strengths. The Green Bay Packers, that won the Super Bowl this year, are a great example of this. The team did not have much of a running game after the team lost its running back Ryan Grant for the season in the first week. So throughout the season they called enough run-plays to keep the defense on edge, but still focused their offense on the passing game. moved to San Francisco last fall, the lineup that they trotted out was hardly one that would strike fear into the opposing pitchers hearts. The Giants hardly carried the bandwagon fanfare that the supposedly better all-around teams carried heading into the playoffs. When the Giants won their first World Series Championship since they But an excellent starting pitching rotation made up for it.

The first Varsity Eight completed the race in 7:00.5, which was five seconds slower than Kansas State's First Varsity Fight. The loss in the final race gave the Kansas Cup to Kansas State. The rowing Kansas Cup series is tied tandem 7-1. The Kansas rowing team competed in the annual Kansas Cup this weekend at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan. The Jayhawks got out to an early 6-0 lead against rival Kansas State by winning the First Novice Eight and First Varsity Four races. K-State responded by winning the next two Varsity Eight races and eventually took the Kansas Cup title by a score of 13-6. The all-time series between the two schools, which began in 1998, is now tied at seven victories each. Coach Rob Catloth was satisfied with his freshmen and varsity four racers but was disappointed with his varsity eight rowers. "I think we were really strong in our freshmen races and our varsity four, but obviously we weren't strong enough in our two varsity eight races. That's where we have to keep improving." The Kansas Cup was also Senior Day for 13 Jayhawk rowers. They were honored in a special recognition ceremony Saturday. Catloth is sad to see these seniors go. "We have a really good senior class," said Catloth. "Several of them have been in top boats since their sophomore year. There are some really strong athletes there, and also student-wise. We've had several on Academic All-Conference teams. It's been a really fun class to work with." The kickoff to the Kansas Cup got started in exciting fashion with Kansas beating out K-State by less than a second in the First Novice Eight race. The Jayhawks were lead by Caty Clements along with Hillary Woods, Emily Starr, Emma Umbarger, Jessica Miller, Elizabeth Scherer, Katie Hayes, Amanda Lewis and Hannah Singhal. The team finished with a time of 7:00.2, and K-State was very close behind finishing with a time of 7:01.0. The second race was a bit less stressful, with the Kansas Varsity Four winning with a time of 7:38.4, which was nine seconds faster than K-State. This Varsity Four team was composed of seniors Melissa Hersh and Caitlin Roach along with sophomores Ashleigh Allam and Cheyenne Verdoorn and junior Lindsey Brickleymer. K-State came back to win the next two races, however. The Second Varsity Eight race was won by the Wildcats, with a time of 6:55.2, which was almost five seconds faster than the Jayhawks, who recorded a time of 7:00.5. The Jayhawks still led the standings overall with a record of 6-5. Since the standings were so close, the winner of the Kansas Cup was going to come down to the very last race: The First Varsity Eight. The Wildcats finished the race with a time of 6:42.7 while the Jayhawks came in nearly 11 seconds behind, with a time of 6:53.8. The Jayhawks will host the third annual Big 12 Championship next Saturday at Wyandotte County Lake. Kansas will look to knock off Texas, who has won the championship the past two years in a row. K-State and Oklahoma will join Kansas in trying to knock off the two-time defending Longhorns. The first race will begin at approximately 10 a.m. with the Second Novice Eight race and will conclude with the First Varsity Eight race at 11:20 a.m. Catloth has high expectations for the championship next weekend. "We're excited about the Big 12 Rowing Championship," said Catloth. "This will be the third year of the event. Every year the level of racing at the regatta gets better, and the competition gets tougher. We're really excited to be hosting it at Wyandotte County Lake this year. I think it's going to be a great regatta with some high-quality competition."

Hull went 2-4 with a home run and three RBI's in the Jayhawks 13-5 loss to Oklahoma. The Jayhawks remain winless in Big 12 play. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Postseason play is a goal for every team, but attaining that goal may become somewhat unrealistic as seasons wane. The softball team is currently sitting on the bubble as far as acceptance into NCAA Regionals is concerned. They are in this predicament because of their losing streak during conference play. This streak came after the best start to the season in school history at 26-3 and after being ranked No. 22 nationally. Nonetheless, the team has said all season that they are a team of fighters, and that has never been more true than during the weekend series against Iowa State. hwise@Kansan.com Friday, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing going into the fifth mning. Junior infielder Marissa Ingle sent her sixth home run of the season over the centerfield wall to tie the score 3-3. The cyclones responded in the bottom of the fifth. The Jayhawks were defeated 4-3 during Friday's contest, but rallied back Saturday to earn an 8-6 victory and tie the home run record. They are now 2-14 in conference play and 29-20 overall. Iowa State sophomore Amandine Habben hit a bases loaded single straight to Kansas freshman infielder Laura Vickers. Vickers tagged the bases at first to out Habben, but her throw down to home plate reached senior catcher Brittany Hile a second too late, allowing the Cyclones runner to slide in and score. But on Saturday, Maggie Hull, a sophomore outfielder, hit her third grand slam of the season in the top of the fifth inning to give the Jayhawks a 7-6 edge against the Cyclones. Hull stepped up for her team, something that the coaching staff had challenged the girls to do after their Wednesday losses to Tulsa (3-0, 4-2). "We had a lot of opportunities in that first game, and we needed someone to step up and we just didn't have it," coach Megan Smith said. "Today Maggie Hull gets up with bases loaded and she stepped up big time when we needed her the most." Friday's loss and Saturday's win snapped the team out of their mental slump and back into the tenacious fighting mentality that they had at the beginning of the season. Part of what drives the team is the respect and love they have for seniors Allie Clark and Brittany Hile, who have been leading the team throughout the season. Clark helped secure the weekend victory by pitching the "We can go to regionals," Hull said. "We have a chance of going. All we have to do is get some more wins. We are on the bubble. We are a really good team and we can do this." final four innings. She gave up one run but struck out three batters. Hile has been the focal point of the defense, making crucial plays for outs from behind home plate and leading the on-field communication. This weekend series was a big improvement, and it was what the team needed to keep hopes of a regional appearance alive.

By the middle of the third quarter the Jayhawks were leading the Tigers 8-6, but according to Kansas coach Dennis Shults, it all went downhill from there. Even the players began to realize "We didn't get a breather, and it really affected us." Shuls said. The Jayhawks fielded 17 players to Missouri's 28. "We ran out of gas." Shults said. "We went up two goals and just crashed." Because of the weather, halftime was shortened from 20 to five minutes, which Shults attributed as a factor in the Jayhaws running out of energy at the end of the game. they were running on empty. "It was hard to watch," said Tim MacArthur, a freshman from Tallahassee, Fla. "Lacrosse is a game of runs, and they had their best one at the end of the game." Although the Jayhawks did not return to Lawrence victorious, coach Shults has no reason to believe the teams will play to the same outcome if they meet again. "I definitely think we can take them." Shults said, "Offensively they weren't that good; we just ran out of gas on defense." With the playoffs around the corner, and both teams in first in their respective divisions, an early round matchup may be in place for the Jayhaws and Tigers. Kansas will finish out the regular season at home next weekend against Saint Louis University (3-7) on April 30. The game looks to be a tune-up for the Jayhawks who will enter the playoffs the following week, and Shults has no thoughts about a first round bounce for his squad. "We've got a good shot" Shults said.

He wanted to see if he could have one final good performance before retiring. He was more than good, breaking his own meet record with a throw of 268 feet, 11 inches. Instead of retiring, Russell now plans to train and attempt to make the 2012 London Olympics. He was perhaps more surprised by his throw than anyone else at the Kansas Relays. "I shouldn't have thrown that far with how little I train," Russell, a 2002 KU graduate, said. "It didn't make sense to me." Nevertheless, Russell delighted the crowd with his record-breaking throw and good-natured antics. He wore the pink and blue track jersey that he sported for three years while on the Kansas track team, before Nike made them switch to a traditional crimson and blue jersey his senior year. It was a memorable meet for cur in rent Jayhawks as well. After failing to notch an overall victory during the first two days of the Relays, Kansas picked up 12 titles during the final two days. sophiore Mason Time unsurprisingly picked up another victory in the shot put, throwing 65 feet, 1.25 inches. He nabbed another victory in the discus, throwing 193 feet, one inch. Freshman Jessica Maroszek notched her second victory in the discus in her past two meets, winning by 12 feet, seven inches. Senior Jordan Scott added some flair to the pole vault, sporting a colored Jayhawk patent on the back of his head. He performed just as well as he looked, taking first. ||| Diamond Dixon was perhaps the most impressive Jayhawk. In her first Kansas Relays, the freshman led a trio of Kansans that included senior Kendra Bradley and sophomore Taylor Washington to a one-two three finish in the women's 400 meters. Two hours later, all three of those girls ran for the victorious Jayhawk squad in the 4x400-meter relay. Dixon was named the Outstanding Female Athlete for her performance. The men's 4x400-meter relay team won their race as well, grabbing their own portion of the spotlight. Sophomore Kyle Clemons, the defending champion in the 400-meter dash, helped Dixon sweep the event, crossing the finish line in 47.67 seconds. Juniors Donny Wasinger and Rebeka Stowe made sure they followed the trend. Both set personal best times on their way to winning the 1,500 meters. The distance medley relay was the first event that the jayhawks swept. The "After the girls won, we had to win ours or they'll have bragging rights on us for the week," senior Keron Toussaint, who ran the hawks' final leg, said. men's team of freshmen Josh Munsch and Brendan Soucie, sophomore Derrick Perry, and junior Austin Bussing gave the lajaways a two second victory on the men's side. The women's team of freshman Kyra Kilwein, sophomore Denesha Morris, and Juniors Cori Christensen and Rebeka Stowe dominated their relay, winning by 21 seconds. The Jayhawks were in a tight race with Wichita State until Christensen took off. "With 300 meters to go in her leg she (Cori) just took off and kind of broke the spirits of the Wichita State girls," Stowe said. "Wichita State is a pretty strong program and so we knew we were going to have to come out here and compete." - Edited by Becca Harsch Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Freshman Nick Giancana flies over the bar at the high jump event Saturday.

BASEBALL Jayhawks escape sweep against No. 4 Texas 12 mvernon@kansan.com MIKE VERNON After being outpitched and outplayed Thursday and Friday, the Jayhawks came out Saturday with their own impressive performance. They beat No. 4 Texas 4-2. The Jayhawks needed Saturday's victory to maintain .500 for the season. Now their record is 20-20 overall and 9-9 in conference play. Senior infielder Brandon Macias connected for a one-run homerun to start the game off against Texas Saturday afternoon in Lawrence. Kansas improved to .500 in league and overall play with a 4-2 victory. "The win keeps us in the top five of our league and allows us to make something special happen here in the last month of the season," coach Ritch Price said. The Longhorns owned the mound in the first two games of the series, showing off a pitching staff considered as one of the best in the country. Texas beat the Jayhawks Thursday and 9-1 on Friday. Top pitching prospect Taylor Jungmann took the mound for Texas in Thursday evening's series opener, and he did not disappoint. Jungmann kept the Jayhawk hitters off balance all game, striking out nine and only giving up one hit in eight innings on the mound. The Jayhawks played the Longhorns close the first five innings of the game; taking a one-run deficit into the sixth inning. Sophomore Thomas Taylor wore down after pitching a strong first five — giving up six runs in the sixth. Kansas continued to get rocked after Taylor's day was done, losing 9-0 to Texas. "If you can't take the fastball away, you're going completely dominated with the breaking ball, and that's what he did." Price said. "He completely dominated us for eight innings." The Longhorns sent senior Cole Green to the mound on Friday, and the Longhorns kept on where they left off. Green baffled the Kansas hitters, pitching seven shutout innings against the jayhawks. "All of their pitchers are tough," senior shortstop Brandon Macias said. "They throw a lot of stuff away and they don't leave too many pitches over the plate." With Kansas needing a victory Saturday to save their weekend, Price knew the Jayhawks would need a big-time performance from sophomore Tanner Poppe. "With the way Texas has pitched in the first two games of the series, we knew we were going to need a big-time pitching performance Saturday afternoon," Price said. Poppe held it down for the Jayhawks Saturday, giving up seven hits for two runs in nearly five innings on the mound. The 6-foot- 5 Kansas native had no trouble on the mound; he left two Texas runners stranded on the bases in the third, fourth and fifth innings. "Once you have the lead, you have to stop the momentum from getting back into the other dugout . . ." The Kansas bullpen followed Poppe's impressive performance of zeroes; give our hitters some confidence." "They have a really good staff," Poppe said. "I knew I had to go out there the first couple of innings and put up a couple RITCH PRICE Coach with an even better one of their own. Seniors Scott Heitshusen and Wally Marciel kept Texas from getting a hit for a couple of innings. Junior closer Colton Murray came in for the last two innings, and shut the Longhorns down; keeping all but one Texas batter off the base paths, and getting the save. "They were outstanding." Price said. "Once you have the lead, you have to stop the momentum from getting back into the other dugout and our bullpen did that." The Jayhawks are coming away from a weekend that was full of good pitching, knowing now that they can beat the best, if they can pitch with the best. — Edited by Sean Tokarz COMMENTARY Players pass up college for chance in NBA BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com 1990 Don't believe a word they say. Collge College basketball players with NBA futures are asked the same old question, in varying forms, year after year: Should you stay or should you go? (The Clash melody is usually omitted.) Out of respect and ethics (some journalists have those), the question is often first asked as the season nears its finish. Emotions awry, athletes often pledge allegiance to their school "I'm coming back another year," Texas freshman forward Tristan Thompson said repeatedly in their locker room at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., according to ESPN.com. "I've already signed up for summer classes" Thompson said. "I'm coming back next year," he said to the Austin American Statesman newspaper. "I think we will have a great team." And then we heard similar words from sophomore swingman Jordan Hamilton. Thompson and Hamilton said this on March 19, the day before their Longhorns fell to the Arizona Wildcats 70-69 in the round of 32 of the NCAA tournament. But with a draft class short on talent, Thompson will almost certainly leave for the league. He'll sign a contract with seven to eight figures on it and likely start his career riding some bench far away from Austin, Texas. Then this Saturday, Hamilton, Thompson and freshman Cory Joseph all declared for the NBA draft, shocking no one in the process. process. Unlike Hamilton, both Thompson and Joseph have not yet signed with an agent giving them the option, until May 8, to withdraw their names from the draft. Joseph may very well and should probably do so. This is what it's taught us: 1) Don't ever take the words of young folk as the law, especially from those who are one declaration away from millions of dollars. 2) The Big 12 crown, originally thought to be Texas' for the taking, is open to several suitors now. Yes, Jayhawk fans; even without the Morris twins, we could sit atop the conference once more. Next year's team will feature several new faces and will likely depend on a few freshmen in crunch-time. But we're not alone. Baylor has oodles of skills, but it will also rely on unproven commodities: sophomore Perry Jones and freshmen Quincy Miller and Deuce Bello. Kansas State will be without its commander in chief, the soon-to-graduate Jacob Pullen. So let's pin the Wildcats as rebuilders until further notice. And after Saturday's news, Texas stumbled from the once unquestionable pinnacle the hard way.

Barnett has also developed a prosecutor's clinic on animal cruelty for law students. Dogfighters are your next door neighbors. "It's not like there's a big neon sign that says 'fight down here,'" Prasad said. According to the Game Dog Guardian website, the clinic allows students from the law school to work with prosecutors on animal cruelty cases. The clinic is expected to open in the fall. That was one of the messages Raj Prasad, a Michigan prosecutor, shared with law students and the public at "It's Our Turn to Fight for Them," a symposium on animal cruelty and dogfighting held by the KU Student Animal Legal Defense Fund and the School of Law Monday. Barnett, along with her husband, operates Game Dog Guardian, an advocacy organization for pit bulls and pit bull owernship. Pit bulls are the breed of choice in dogfighting, panelists at the event said. The biggest misconception is that law enforcement is not interested in going after dogfighters. In reality, Barnett said law enforcement sometimes lack knowledge and training in how to deal with dogfighting situations. Prasad was one of several attorney- and members of law enforcement who spoke at the event, which was organized by Katie Barnett, a third-year law student.

KU law students will be trained by prosecutors to handle animal cruelty cases. homicide cases. "In both situations, you're dealing with victims that can't speak," Prasad said. The logistics of busting a dogfighting ring are complicated, requiring a large number of officers and multiple agencies, Prasad said. Authorities have to be prepared to arrest dozens of people who may be watching a fight and must coordinate care for the animals that are being used in the fight. "You never know how many people are going to be at a dogfight," Prasad said. Once arrests are made, prosecutors must decide how to charge suspects. Often charges related to dogfighting, such as gambling or possession of a gun while committing a felony, can result in more prison time than the crime of dogfighting itself. - Edited by Jacque Weber This tactic is one example of the mass mobilization that 4Chan makes available to anyone with an internet connection and a bone to pick. MISCHIEF (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The Kansan removed the poll and posted it again. On March 29, Allen Fieldhouse held 85 percent of the electorate with 60 votes. On April 12, Becker contacted The Kavan. The Kansan by email to take credit for the incident. "I would very much like to see the actual poll results published." Mary Ann Kane he wrote. "Because they demonstrate the failure of a democratic system and also show that not every student at the University of Kansas cares about basketball." In an interview, Becker said he found the prank very funny and explained that he had been, at least in part, inspired by Anonymous. Becker said that he had previously been skeptical of the power of social media, but that Anonymous had shown him Weekly Poll: James Naismith's Original Rules of Basketball will be on display at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art until May 29.

"It's amazing how many people will do anything at any given second," he said. On Monday, Playstation's online gaming remained out of service and a Sony press release did not offer details of the outage. Anonymous denied responsibility for the failure in an online statement titled "For Once, We Didn't Do It." Anonymous, which takes its name from the standard alias provided to 4Chan users, is well-known for its attacks on entities such as major banks, credit card companies and Scientology. The "FAQ" page on the message board offers some definition for the group. "Anonymous is not a single person, but rather, represents the collective whole of 4Chan," according to the site. "He is... harder than the hardest metal known to man: diamond." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Edited by Danielle Packer HOME housina 785-864-4358 SALE ANNOUNCEMENTS for sale WISH YOU COULD Mass Text CAMPUS?

Should you? To the questions: — OK, why is "The Voice" so darned important to NBC? With judges Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, the network thinks it's got enough star firepower. NBC desperately needs a hit before the May upfronts, when the networks announce their fall lineups. - What exactly is "The Voice"? What exactly is The voice ? The judges turn their backs to a performer they can't see; said performer then sings, and if the judges like what they hear, they press a button and turn around. If they all turn around, the singer gets to choose which judge he or she wants as a coach. In the next phase, the judges morph into coaches after building a team of eight singers each. They train the singers, who then go into a battle round. Some singers are eliminated before the final rounds, when viewers vote for the best. Four are left standing, and the winner gets a Universal Republic record deal and $100,000. —McClatchy Tribune THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 2011 PAGE 5A O opinion Free for all My mom told me that I remind her of herself on drugs... thanks mom!

You may say that he re-invented the concept. When his mate died five years ago, he lost his singing partner and the only soul in the house that understood him. (Although my non-English-speaking cleaning lady often talks to the little guy and he chirps back like they have some sort of bird-to-human communication system that my family members and I never figured out.) HUMOR Do your own thing, screw the man and let free love reign He became restless and bored. Now the bird spends his days frantically eating and then purging with his talons onto a wooden rod in his cage. When he is done purging, he immediately starts masturbating on the wooden rod. He does this at any waking hour and often for hours at a time. For the sake of the entire avian population and the dignity of this PLEASE REQUEST A DETAILED PHOTO FOR ALL QUESTIONS. BY LIZ STEPHENS lstephens@kansan.com smile on his face. human audience, I am not making this up. After his mate's death, the bird also developed an aggression comparable to a charging tractor. No longer are we allowed to hold him or pet him or even put a finger into his cage. If the aforementioned action takes place, he bites into my flesh as if it were a piece of soft cheese. Many a time when our blood has stained his feathers do I think I can see the slightest, birdiest Rule number one: Eat what I realized that the bird has actually taken his life to the maximum pleasure level that is possible for a creature. Following his rules of thumb—er, claw—we too can have fabulous lives even in isolated depression. Rule number one: eat what you want, when you want to, and damn the bigger guy who says that you're not allowed. Your stomach is your own and if you want to feel it jut out your ribcage in a pseudo-second trimeter lump, you go girl. Rule two: If you feel like touching yourself, don't let anyone stop you. There are legality issues here applicable to humans and not to birds, but wearing loose clothing with the pockets cut out or sitting in a corner with a book on your lap should negate those rules. Rule three: People may try to touch you, shake your hand, give you a high-five, a tap on the shoulder. DO NOT LET THEM, YOU DO THE TOUCHING NOW (see rule two). You have two options: bite them or scream at them with the intensity to make their eyes fill up with blood. Above and beyond anything, the bird would tell you to do your thing, screw the man, let free love reign. Even if all the love we get is self-love, that's the most important thing of all. We mustn't abandon ourselves; we are our own best support. Even if that means straddling a wooden rod in view of an entire family and their cleaning lady.

Nicholas Sambaluk SOCIAL MEDIA ETIQUETTE Top five Facebook dating don'ts Dating has always been difficult. But now that the world of social media is taking over our basic routes of communication, there is all sorts of gray areas. Here are a few tips of what not to do that might come in handy when you are trying to catch the eye of that certain someone. 1) Don't ask someone out on a date through Facebook. I've been convinced for quite sometime that technology is making us lazier and more cowardly, so this has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. When I first started dating in high school, the magic always started with a good old-fashioned phone call followed by an awkward first date. The way it should be. Thanks to Facebook and texting, this doesn't really happen anymore. Call me old school, but it doesn't take much confidence, will power or integrity to ask someone on a date through Facebook. It's just a turnoff. 2) Don't read into your future potential lover's profile too much. Yes, you can draw conclusions from the over-obvious (like if this person's profile picture is of them in a ski-mask, or if no one has written on their wall since Bush was in office). But don't write this person off because he has flirty wall posts with other girls or photos from a couple drunken nights. Facebook can make us all look like real A-holes. Give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the basics. JONATHAN DAVIS These types of statuses usually just make you look obsessive, overemotional and stalkerish. I admit, I have been guilty of posting angry Taylor Swift lyrics when a guy I was 3) Don't post passive-aggressive Facebook statuses and expect them to do you any good. Example "Susie was enchanted to meet you." Or "Bobby really likes you but don't know what to do." BY MANDY MATNEY mmatney@kansan.com talking to decided to fall of the face of the earth. Or when a guy I liked wouldn't ask me out. Back then, (as in like a year and a half ago) I was unaware that human beings are attracted to confidence. Rather than creepily posting awkward feelings to the entire Facebook world, it's better to just confront the person of interest with whatever your problem is. 4) Don't friend request her/ poke too soon. There is nothing creepier than meet a guy in a bar and three hours later you have a Facebook friend request, poke and a "It was so great meeting you" inbox message awaiting you. Especially when all you told the guy was your first name and major. This leads one to wonder "How the hell did he find me?" which is never a good beginning inquiry. Just wait a day or so. And I would recommend never poking unless you are an obnoxious person who wants a middle school relationship. This is difficult for many us because Facebook makes us all a little creepy, to be honest. But when you first are starting to talk to someone, don't "like" their high school prom pictures or comment "haha, that's so funny" on every single wall recent post. That said, don't Facebook chat them every minute the both of you are online. Play hard to get. It works, I swear. 5) Don't overcreep. Matney is a junior in journalism from Shawnee.

Well, the Federal government wants to you reconsider. Last week, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Florida ordinance that restricts feeding the homeless at city parks. While the 11th Circuit insists that donating food to the impoverished in public space is an expressive right, it found the law as a reasonable regulation to maintain order in city parks. The ordinance requires a permit for groups feeding more than 25 people at parks in downtown Orlando, with a maximum of two permits per group, per year. Orlando Food Not Bombs doesn't think so. The activism group, which has fought against the anti-homeless legislation since 2006, believes that food is a right—not a privilege. "Our group shares food because people need it," the group's website states. Reasonable? As if being homeless weren't difficult enough, this law obstructs rare opportunities for the destitute to enjoy a hot, notorious meal. In addition, the ordinance is a kick in the crotch to any advocate of feeding those who can't feed themselves. How can government justify the deterrence of a group's right to help the less fortunate on land built and maintained by tax-paver dollars? The history of government involvement concerning expression in public space addresses considerations of time, place and manner but also reasonable, content-neutral regulation. Time and again the Supreme Court has confirmed the rights of groups to peacefully express themselves in public areas including streets, sidewalks, outside legislative buildings and city parks. In a 1977 Federal case a Nazi group faced permit and city regulations that made their planned demonstrations illegal. The village of Skokie, a predominately Jewish suburb of Chicago, enacted several municipal laws before the Nazi's march—one of which required assemblies of 50 or more people to pay insurance liabilities of $350,000. The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a U.S. District Judge's ruling that the ordinances violated the first amendment because of unreasonable and non-content neutral restrictions. So, are the restrictions against groups such as Orlando Food Not Bombes reasonable and content-neutral? At the core of the rulings in both the 1977 case and this contemporary example is an attempt to balance the interests of the state with the value of expression in public space. According to the 11th circuit, Orlando has a substantial concern in managing parks and preventing overuse by any single group—especially an organization that threatens the viability of the state's most prominent industry: tourism. As we see nearly every day in American society, the concerns of profitability often trump that of humanity. After all, seeing that starving family on the way to Disney World might put a damper on the afternoon's fun. Thanks goodness the state's looking out for me, the helpless tourist. I don't know what I would have done if I actually saw people eating their first meal of the week in public space. I probably would've hid in my hotel room and ordered room service. A look at the data suggests that Orlando's increased rate of homelessness may have influenced the antihomeless ordinance. Orange County, home to Orlando, experienced one home foreclosure for every 110 housing units in 2010—the third highest in the state of Florida according to a report by the Florida Department of Children and Families. The organization also reported a 17 percent estimated increase of homelessness over the last year. Under the new ordinance groups would be limited to feeding parties with 25 plus people in attendance to twice a year. Why twice a year and not at all? Could you imagine if an organization planned a four-day feeding frenzy at the new-year? Or what about that six-person family who likes to have birthday parties for their children and friends at their favorite local park? I'd like to see the police slap the cake out of little Tommy's hands when his birthday celebration interrupts the order of Orlando city-life. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, there are between 130,000 and 200,000 veterans living on the street at any given night in 2009—representing about one fourth of all homeless people. That translates to roughly 375 homeless veterans in Orange County according to the Florida Department of Children and Families estimate When you consider the percentage of veterans among the homeless population that will be affected by this law I'm sure members of the Westboro Baptist church are jumping for joy. Although the state is simply attempting to prevent heavy overcrowding of city parks, the ordinance violates the rights to assembly and expression in public space guaranteed by the constitution. Balancing the interests of first amendment freedoms and state control is difficult, but when the law affects those whose voice cannot be heard it's certainly quite a bit easier.

But although the newly-drafted athletes will finally achieve a goal they've been working toward for years, the ongoing lockout is sure to cast a pal over the three-day event. JACK ROBINSON I still think the NFL won't lose any games this year. It was recently announced that the NFL has structured the 2011 season so that there are open weeks available later in the season for the NFL to reschedule games that get locked out. Both the owners and the players are smart enough to realize how damaging missed games would be to the sport's reputation, so I anticipate them eventually reaching a compromise and ending the lockout. Nevertheless, the draft figures to be an awkward procedure. More than 250 players will hear their names called at Radio City Music Hall at some point during the three-day event held Thursday through Saturday. By hearing their names called, these players are effectively being told that they either have a job or the right to compete for one. Except they don't. They can still train individually, and the team they were with before the lockout still owns the rights to them, but they really don't have a job. They BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com are all just waiting to get their jobs back from the owners. For many teams, these same owners have a large say in which players their team selects, and which player that owner gets to lock out. THE MORNING BREW The tension that will be present at the draft underscores one of the many differences between college and professional athletics. In college, these athletes were most likely pampered, and quite possibly some of them may have been given illegal benefits. It's going to be a shock come Thursday night when the players realize exactly what they are leaving behind. Instead of being the kings of campus, they're quickly thrust into the harsh realities of real life and real business. One of the points of contention between the players and the owners is the size of rookie contracts. Eventually the lockout will end and the players will get their contracts, but the contracts probably will not be as large as they previously would have been. Whichever players are lucky enough to get drafted at some point between Thursday and Saturday are in a position many Americans envy. Lots of those players will receive a hefty contract that us peasants can only dream of. But that still doesn't make the business aspect of the game any easier or any less stressful for these involved. And for the rookies, business in the NFL is sure to be a wild difference from how their college teams operated.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS 642 @KANSAN.COM Non-conference schedule announced TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 2011 The Jayhawks' non-conference schedule for 2011-2012 is loaded with powerhouse teams, including matchups with Ohio State and Kentucky. Read the full story online at Kansan.com. WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 8A COMMENTARY ROUND TWO Basketball schedule looks extra tough BY COPENHUDGE BY COREYTHIBODEAUX cthibodea@kansan.com While the Jayhawks might not be a No. I seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, they will certainly have plenty of battle scars to show off beforehand. And that's not even counting the Big 12 portion of their schedule. The non-conference schedule Kansas released on Sunday is absurd, to say the least. And it is by far the most competitive the school has had in a number of years. It includes Ohio State, Kentucky and USC with potential matchups with Arizona, Duke, Georgetown, Memphis, Michigan, Tennessee and UCLA in the Maui Invitational. If North Carolina and Indiana were a part of the schedule, then Kansas would have played all of the greatest programs in one season. There are going to be losses, there is no doubt. The young team that Kansas has for next year isn't going to be able to consistently defeat perennial programs, so a two-loss regular season is not going to happen. But that's a good thing. The Jayhawks have thrived off of a multitude of talent over the years, but that's not going to fly next year. Four of the main starters from the 2010-2011 season are gone. More importantly, the leadership of those four - Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed and the Morris twins - are gone. Tyshawn Taylor still needs to prove he can lead the team, but he always seems to find himself in trouble. It has trickled down to the recent event involving Thomas Robinson. There isn't a good role model to steer them in the right direction now. But a 15-point thumping by Jared Sullinger's Buckeyes when they come to Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 10 could add some perspective on how the young Kansas team perceives college basketball. Kansas usually ranks high in its strength of schedule, but that just shows how good the Big 12 is. But waiting until the conference season for these tough matches may be a little too late. For too long Kansas has feasted on relatively easy non-conference opponents, only to fall short of expectations in the NCAA tournament. You could tell the players had big heads in the tournament and looked silly against Virginia Commonwealth when their performance didn't match their verbal jabs. Edited by Marla Daniels Getting punched in the mouth early in the season will do wonders to help mature a young Kansas team next year. No.1 seed just gives you a sense of entitlement, like you're supposed to be the best. But even something as high as two or three seed can humble you. The 2008 team probably understood this. Having seven consecutive Big 12 titles deserves a lot of recognition, of course. But getting some out-of-conference experience from the likes of Duke, Kentucky and Ohio State is invaluable. Jayhawks looking for revenge The baseball team plays Creighton tonight hoping to make up for a loss at the last meeting KA aaron Harris/KANSAN Sophmore pitcher Tanner Poppe winds up for a pitch against the Longhorns Saturday afternoon in Lawrence. A strong outing by the Jayhawks led to a 4-2 victory. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Jayhawks have a chance to prove how far they've come tonight in a nationally televised showdown with the Creighton Bluejays. The game will air on CBS College Sports at 6 p.m. and will be played at the new home of the College World Series, TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. The Jayhawks and Bluejays first met on February 22 in Lawrence in a game that tested both teams. The Bluejays won in the 10th inning and went on to win nine of their next 11 games. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, went on to have major struggles at the plate, hitting .220 as a team, and going 7-9 before conference play began. "We weren't hitting the ball very well back then," said senior outfielder Jimmy Waters. "I think it's going to be interesting to see just how much we've improved." Waters led the turnaround at the plate for Kansas, beginning with the Jayhawks' conference opener against Oklahoma State on March 18. After dropping the first game in the series 4-2, Kansas took the final two, 7-2 and 5-4. Batting.169 coming into the series, Waters closed his bating stance, enabling him to see the ball better. He contributed three RBIs in the 7-2 win and went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs in the 5-4 win. The Jayhawks have since picked their averages up throughout their lineup. Kansas has hit 263 against tough Big 12 competition, and boasts a 9-9 record in conference play, winning their series against Baylor, Nebraska and Missouri. Waters, a Council Bluffs, Iowa native, will be making a homecoming of sorts in the Jayhawks' Omaha outing. Council Bluffs rests just east of the Iowa-Nebraska border, only 15 minutes away from Omaha. "I'm nice to come back home, and play in front of all of my family," Waters said. "I'm just really excited about playing in front of everybody." Creighton junior Bran Koenigstein will attempt to silence Waters tonight. Koenigstein started in the previous matchup between the two teams, giving up five hits and three runs in 3 1/3 innings on the mound. The Bluejays hope their batters will give Koenigstein some cushion. Creighton brings in a team batting average of .268, led by senior outfieldler Trever Adams. Adams could not come up with a hit in the first matchup between the two teams, but is now bringing in an average of .390 and has hit 11 home runs. Freshman pitcher Alex cox has the daunting task of keeping the Bluejays off the scoreboard tonight. He has been inconsistent for the Jayhawks all season, having a phenomenal outing one day and getting hit hard the next. Cox gave up four hits and two runs in the early season meeting with the Bluejays. "I think for him to be successful tonight he needs to get that first out every inning and not give any free passes away," Waters said. "If he throws strikes and lets the defense play behind him I think he'll be fine." The lajayhows think they have drastically improved as the season has gone on, and their first real barometer of improvement is tonight against Creighton. "We know how good we can be, we just have to do it on a consistent basis," Waters said. "It's an opportunity to showcase our team, our university, and what we can do." Edited by Tali David FOOTBALL More line changes as spring game approaches BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com With the annual spring game less than a week away, there were a few last-minute changes before yesterday's practice. Redshirt freshman running back Brandon Bourbon will be out six to eight weeks after suffering a foot injury in practice last week. Coach Turner Gill told the media yesterday that Bourbon will return in time for summer conditioning and will be ready for fall camp. Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson returned to the practice field on Monday while still recovering from a recent leg injury. Patterson was in pads and a helmet but wore shorts during the practice and worked out at less than full speed. Gill said he is still unsure whether Patterson will compete in Saturday's spring game. Gill noted that the decision to play Patterson or not will come on Friday, but right now it is unlikely that he will participate. "He is still limping a little bit, but we are not going to push it as far as getting more reps or those types of things." Gill said. "We know what he can do based on last year's performance." On defense, Gill said the secondary is making a lot of process and he believes the unit has played a little bit better than the defensive line and linebackers so far this spring. Freshman safety Keeston Terry is returning from a season-ending knee leg injury from week three last year, and agrees with Gill's sentiments about the secondary. "We have a lot of young guys so we have a lot of room to grow" he said. "But we're definitely making great strides and doing great things out there." After sitting out the final eight games last season, Terry said he was unable to fully workout until after winter break, but feels as though he's made good progress up to this point in the year. Another player returning from injury is freshman linebacker Huldon Tharp, who injured his foot last summer and sat out the entire season. "There are plenty of guys that have been through injuries," Tharp said. "Everyone is back on the right foot. I definitely think that everyone is going to be contributing this year." Right now, Tharp is listed as the starting weak side linebacker alongside fellow linebackers Steven Johnson and Steve Mestan. The defensive line underwent another switch on Monday as well. Keba Agostinho moved back to defensive end after initially making the switch to inside and defensive tackle. Former running back Toben Opurum is still at first-string defensive end, and looks to stay there heading into fall camp. Gill also said he expected defensive tackle Pat Lewandowski to be a big asset to the team. "Pat Lewandowski is someone that has been a surprise," Gill said, "and has stepped up and made some good things happen, as far as a pass rusher more from the inside than the outside." Gill said that Lewandowski and Agostinho stood out the most along the defensive line as pass rushing threats. With the current depth problems on the defensive line, Gill said the format for Saturday's game may not be a traditional first string vs. second string format, and that the coaches will make the decision Wednesday. 15 KANSAS - Edited by Tali David Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson returned to practice on Monday and is still playing through a sore leg.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 VOLUME 123 ISSUE 141 WWW.KANSAN.COM December 1, 2010, is a date Avery won't forget. That day he sat in a doctor's office, where a nurse would ask him to bend over a table with his pants pulled down, then push a needle filled with testosterone into his buttocks. It would be his first step toward changing from a woman to a man—the real him. Ahead of him are decisions about a mastectomy to remove his breasts, a hysterectomy to remove his ovaries, and the pos- sibility of two alternative surgeries to construct a penis. He also faces continuing conflicts with parents who can't under- stand why their daughter wants to be a man. Lauren watches nervously as a drunk man in a small town bar in Missouri buys her friend a drink, hits on her, then starts to grope her during the course of the night. That's when Lauren, dressed in men's cargo shorts and a T-shirt, steps between them and intervenes. "Thanks for buying my friend a drink, but that's enough. Please just stop touching her." He obliges, but after mulling it over, screams in Lauren's face: "I'm going to show that fucking dyke whos the man. That bitch thinks she's in control. Hey, you fucking butch dyke!" While Lauren is a lesbian, she assumes male gender roles in her relationships with other women and feels best wearing masculine clothing—something she calls genderqueer. Avery, a KU graduate student, and Lauren, a 2010 KU alumni, have different sexual identities but share a common struggle in a society where sex and gender are often seen as the same thing. Most people see only man and woman, mas- culine and feminine, with the two being mutually exclusive. This story tells how two people searched for their true selves—one born as a woman but discovering he is a man, and the other born a woman but discovering that her gender identity in lesbian relationships is masculine.

Ann Hartley, associate director of the UCC, said there can be new job postings found online daily at jobs. ku.edu so job-seeking students can check the listings often. Quinn Brabender, a junior from Lawrence, has had two on-campus jobs while at the University. First, he worked for the Student Success Technology Services and now he works at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center as the head technician. Both are jobs he found on jobs.ku.edu. "The website is really easy to browse through. You can easily find jobs that suit your skill-sets and most of them pay pretty decently." Brabender said. Kolby Davidson, a sophomore from Dearborn, Mo., currently works off-campus at Brandon Woods, a local retirement home. Before, he worked on-c Campus as an umpire and a game monitor for intramural sports at the recreation center. Davidson also found his on-c campus job on jobs.ku.edu. "My on-campus job worked with my schedule better, but my current off-campus job is focused more on what I want to be doing after college," Davidson said. The job hunt doesn't have to be hard or intimidating and students don't have to do it alone. Help is available and a good place to start is online at KUCareerHawk.com, where more than 1,200 jobs have been posted so far this year for students. KUCareerHawk.com is linked to jobsku.edu, which only provides students with on-campus job postings. "Go online, create an application and apply," said Hartley. they can't reapply. They should be thorough in their applications, but not wait too long to apply. Jobposters are only required to accept applications for a minimum of three days, Hartley said. Students should keep in mind that once they apply for a position, Brabender offered advice to college students searching for jobs. "Check out the University Career Center. It can give you a lot of free help when you're searching for a campus job and trying to build a resume." Brabender said. "Don't be afraid to apply for multiple postings at once. If you have to turn one down because you were offered two jobs, that's a good problem to have."

LAWRENCE KPR raises most money since 1952 KANSAS PUBLIC RADIO 2003 Kansas Public Radio is located on 11th Street. KPR started in 1952 and is licensed to the University of Kansas Megan Singer/KANSAN BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com In a building just off of 11th Street, the Kansas Public Radio station broadcasts to the Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Junction City communities. This month, through the station's spring membership drive, the Kansas Public Radio station raised more that $297,000 in pledges from listeners and members, according to a press release. This is the most money that has been raised for the station since its beginning in 1952. Fundraising is a crucial part for the maintenance of the radio station, especially with impending budget cuts on the state and national levels, said Phil Wilke, media manager for the radio station. The station raised about $50,000 more than it raised in the fundraising drive last fall. Wilke said that this money normally goes into the general fund of the station, which includes programming. "We like to think it's attributed to people seeing value in the radio station." Wilke said. According to the press release, Gov. Sam Brownback said that the state was unable to fund public broadcasting. Wilke said that because of this, donations are important to the funding and running of the radio station and for its future success. Wilke said the next fundraising drive is in October. "I would love to be able to duplicate that success," he said. — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 643 Mass St. (785) 749-1927 accessibility info 644 Mass. 749-1912 (785) 749-1912 WIN WIN (R) 4:30 7:00 9:25 THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED(PG) 4:40 7:10 St. Louis tornado disproves Midwest disaster notions CEDAR RAPIDS (R) 9:35 ONLY "We're still a superstitious people, sometimes," said David Mechem, professor of atmospheric science at the University. During natural disasters, some officials warn citizens to hide underneath sturdy objects like tables or doorwaves. Mechem said he had heard most of the myths, misconceptions and old-wives tales that swirl around tornadoes. One says that tornadoes don't strike cities. Mechem said the reason tornadoes frequently miss cities is that they occupy comparatively small areas compared with the plains of the tornado alley. "But cities are definitely not safe havens," he said. MYTH: TORNADOES DON'T HIT CITIES BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com NATURAL DISASTER MYTH: HIGHWAY OVERPASSES ARE SAFE The belief that highway overpasses offer protection from tornados is perhaps the most recent and widespread tornado myth. The idea has gained exposure from a YouTube video depicting several people hiding under an overpass on the Kansas Turnpike and escaping an April 1991 tornado unharmed. Mechem said the destructive tornadoes that landed on Topeka in 1966 and Fort Worth, Texas, in 2000 demonstrated his point. The destruction left behind across more than 20 miles of the St. Louis metropolitan area Friday disproved that idea. Myths about tornadoes and earthquake persist, however, and experts try to educate about them. According to the National Weather Service, overpasses are actually one of the worst places to seek shelter. These confined spaces can act as funnels for extremely high winds and debris, though they may offer protection from the hail that often accompanies tornadoes.

An older myth holds that a house can explode in a tornado because of the drop in air pressure created by the storm, and that it is necessary to open the windows to equalize the pressure. Mechem said this was false. Houses leak enough air to equalize themselves and are typically broken apart by high winds. Burnett's Mound, a large hill overlooking Topeka, did not stop the 1966 tornado that killed 16 and injured 500. Mechem similarly dismissed the idea that a town might be protected by surrounding hills. KU emergency procedures for tornado warnings advise seeking shelter in the most interior section of a building and on the lowest level possible, like a basement. The policy advises avoiding glass and exterior walls. EARTHQUAKES IN THE MIDWEST MYTH: HILLS PROTECT AGAINST TORNADOES On Thursday, emergency planning officials in Missouri and 10 other states will lead the biggest earthquake drill in the history of the Midwest to mark the bicentennial of the major earthquake that destroyed New Madrid, Mo. in 1811.

"I am looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling," she said. Expectations are that Couric will get a talk show. TV Guide reported Tuesday that CBS expects that show to be produced by ABC. "ABC has made a big push for a Couric talk show plus even wider exposure across its network news platforms, including a presence on its 2012 presidential election coverage and prime time specials," TV Guide's Stephen Battaglio writes. "CBS News is not willing to match that end of the offer. NBC, which had expressed interest, is no longer in the running." the running about an hour after Couric's announcement, CBS News issued this statement: "There's a lot to be proud of during Katie Couric's time at Evening News.'

About "Oh Bondage, Up Yours." It begins with Poly making a point heard round the world: "Some people think that little girls should be seen and not heard. But I say, 'Oh bondage, up yours!' before the all-male band behind her launches into a furious set of riffles that made countless girl bands possible. (including the way angry, jobless punks treated their women). Her tame was relatively short-lived, though. Styrene struggled with what was later diagnosed as bipolar disorder, and though she released a gorgeous, underrated solo album, "Transluence," on the United Artists label in 1980, it and subsequent releases, including a New Age album(!), Flower Aeroplane, in 2004, failed to make an impact on the general public. She had just released a highly anticipated new full-length "Generation Indigo" in mid-March. The album, produced by Youth, featured Styrene returning to her New Wave/punk rock roots.

GUEST COLUMN: NATHAN DAYANI If a No. 2 pencil is so popular, why is it still No. 2?? There's no place for booing at graduation ceremonies Graduation is an annual rite of passage enjoyed by many. But for KU law students, it can be an unfriendly reminder that their hard work and dedication is nothing more than a punch line. Every year, Memorial Stadium fills with boos when the graduating class of law students is announced. No other school or program receives this sort of treatment. I imagine this year's ceremony will be no different. But, in the limited space this column affords, I hope to convince you not to jump on the bandwagon. Other than the practice of medicine, the practice of law is arguably held to a higher standard of conduct than any other profession in the U.S. An applicant for the Kansas Bar Association, for instance, must demonstrate his or her ethical conduct by clear and convincing evidence—a very high standard of conduct. Lawyers are held to such high standards because they must be trusted to represent their clients diligently, effectively and confidentially. After all, lawyers handle incredibly sensitive information. On a personal note, 15 years ago a lawyer helped broker a divorce settlement between my parents, allowing them to return to an amicable relationship. Recently, a lawyer probated my deceased grandfather's estate to ensure his two children shared his modest wealth in a manner consistent with his wishes. There are certainly examples of bad lawyers out there—Enron and the Duke lacrosse scandal come to mind but these examples are very few and far between. Perhaps there is a better criticism that lawyers act amorally to the best interests of their clients. But that's a criticism hardly unique to the legal profession. You don't need a vivid imagination to realize any viable business tends to prioritize financial gain above all other concerns. It's fair to criticize this prioritization, but to limit this criticism to lawyers is both reactive and counterproductive. Some also jeer lawyers for being too wealthy. Although there are a few graduates from this year's KU law class who will earn six-figure salaries before long, those salaries often come with a cost: 65-hour work weeks in an environment that tends to burn out young talent. Meanwhile, the vast majority of this year's class would gladly accept a job—any job—regardless of salary. There are still many students in the top 10 to 20 percent of this year's class who have tried incredibly hard to find a job and still don't know who they're going to Dayani is a law student graduating this year. He is from Overland Park. So when you're at graduation, and the KU law class of 2011 gets its moment of recognition, remember this class includes future criminal prosecutors and public defenders; corporate and public-interest attorneys; and small-firm attorneys who will help you write a will, file your taxes and manage your small business all in one visit. If you choose to boo, I'd rather you boo me, Nathan Dayani. After all, you know more than enough about me in this 500-word column to make such an informed decision. Right? be when they grow up.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY Jay Carney Press Secretary April 18, 2011 INVESTING IN PENNY STOCK Nicholas Sambaluk CAMPUS But, students should be paying attention to local government too. I honestly did not remember April 5 was the local election date until a professor reminded me the day before. Some students, of course, are paying closer attention, but given the Students should get involved in both campus and local politics City commission and school board elections were three weeks ago—a week before Student Senate elections, in fact. My guess is that, per usual, a large portion of the student body didn't even knew local elections were occurring, much less voted. Voter turnout for the city was only 13 percent. That was a drop from usual turnout and did not meet the county clerk's goal of 20 percent. Ironically, turnout for Student Senate elections was more than double compared with last year. Students should be commended for taking the time to vote for their student representatives; such a large climb in votes shows promise of greater student involvement in the University's government. Even though city governance seems far removed from campus, as Lawrence residents, there are many aspects of local politics that can affect students. For example, housing and tenant laws affect students living off-campus in houses and apartments. Liliana low voter turnout, the majority of the student body isn't. I realized I was doing myself a great disservice by not keeping up with what was going on in my city. BY KELLY COSBY kcosbykansan.com Also, the lighted pathway project has been a visible endeavor requiring collaboration between the University and the city. This project especially demonstrates the power students can have if they acknowledge the role of local government in student life. Concerned students and Student Senate propelled this project. With the community affairs director (an executive staff member of Student Senate) acting as a liaison to the City Commission, student interest and safety became a part of the discussion about the project. However, students should not just rely on a Student Senate representative to represent all interests at the local level. Though the student senator has an important job, that representation is not meant to deter students from taking note of what's going on in Lawrence government. Students need to be aware of the actions by the city that directly affect them. This must be accompanied by keeping an eye on state politics as well. Decisions at the state level, obviously, greatly affect local decision-making. In fact, on the subject of exercising one's vote, a new provision (taking effect in 2013) will require all new registered voters to provide "satisfactory" proof of citizenship. Voter rights' advocates are concerned that such evidence, most likely in the form of a birth certificate, will disenfranchise elderly and disabled voters. This additional barrier will only discourage people from voting, especially young people and students, a demographic already showing low turnout. These are the issues students should be considering. Students should take individual action and take interest in local and state governance—after all, residents of Lawrence all have a personal stake in how our city is governed.

In the sidebar are screenshots of suggested videos, capturing snippets of other men. One holds up a needle to the camera, a small vial in his other hand. Another leans back on his couch, his chest bound with bandages. Youtube links these videos together because of their tags: "trans," "tfm," "transition" and many others. All of these images, prior to the advent of the internet, were available primarily in documentaries, news talk shows, medical documents and a few select photo collections. Rarely were they ever produced by the transgender subjects themselves, who talk about not only the positive parts of transition, but the negatives and the uncertainties. Youtube and the vlog changed that. Taking Youtube's motto "Broadcast Yourself" to heart, vloggers used their webcams to record their life experience, both exciting and mundane. And trans-identified users began to vlog their transitions. These vloggers were publically trans not only to friends and among their local community, but to anyone who happened to search for the right terms on Youtube. That's a long way from the first Youtube video: eighteen seconds of a guy at the zoo. In her book "Gender Outlaw," author Kate Bornstein states that "for too many years, we transgendered people have been playing a hiding game, appearing in town one day, wearing a mask, and leaving when discovery was imminent. We would never tell anyone who we were, and so we were never really able to find one another. In 1994, Bornstein spoke to a population in the early stages of becoming connected online. But as usenet groups, or Internet discussions systems, became increasingly accessible, trans people could see and talk to other trans-identified, English-speaking people from all over the world. These groups and later mailing lists, forums and blogs, allowed transgender people to discuss not only tips for "passing", but the meaning of the categories "transsexual" and "transgender." --parts of myself in him", Avery said. They could collectively organize to push back against the limitations of the gender identity disorder. They questioned medical convention that required they remain silent about their so-called "past" lives and erase their childhoods. As Internet connections became capable of handling streaming video, anyone with an Internet connection could see what a transgender or transsexual person looked like and hear them speak about their experiences without the filter of production. And for the questioning youth, find that they are not alone. These changes are the foundation for my own project, I focus on trans male spectrum vloggers, asking the question, "What does it mean?" Never before have so many images of trans folk been so widely and freely available to such a large population. But "transgender" as a broad sociopolitical identity category, as opposed to a medical diagnosis, is still fairly new. Trans people are as given to internal debate as any group; apparently you only get to join the monolith hive-mind once your adjective becomes a noun. Despite this, that they have taken off their masks and made their transness visible is a huge step forward—one that deserves recognition. Young trans people are grappling with choosing whether to be out. They choose when and how they want to medically transition, if at all. Some of them identify as both gay and trans. And trans youth are coming out earlier and earlier, as groups like Trans Youth Family Allies step up to provide support. IDENTITY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) --- AVERY'S STORY Avery was born a woman, but has changed his appearance to live as a man "In listening to him keep talking about himself, I started to recognize As a high school girl, Avery had two boyfriends, or "beards" as he calls them. He uses that term now because he wasn't sexually attracted to them. He just knew that, as a girl, it was what he was supposed to do. Girls were supposed to date boys, so he went ahead and did it. As a woman, Avery thought that he might be a lesbian because he was attracted to girls. He knew that he didn't identify with the label, but there was no other term for him that fit. It wasn't until Avery began his freshman year at the University of Alabama in 2006 that he learned what it meant to be transgendered. He met his best friend, Laurel Sheffield, who is bisexual, that year. She introduced Avery to a new community and group of friends, including a man whom Avery soon learned was a transgendered man. By the time he reached high school, Avery was living in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He performed solos in all-state choir every year. If he wasn't at school or staying after for choir practice, he was at home playing the video game World of Warcraft and surfing the Internet. He didn't have a lot of friends. Avery began to read every book about gay and lesbian people his school library had — which was about 15 books. He found the term "lesbian" and understood it, so he took it for himself without ever being fully comfortable with it. "I remember bits and snippets of my childhood and high school, but they come in flashes," Avery said. "I so much didn't like the person that I was, and this was before I had any conception of myself as trans. When I really think about it, it just seems like it happened to a different person now." "I was identifying with a need to have a community or to have people like me," Avery said. Avery Dame, 23, is about 5 feet 6 inches tall with short, clean-cut brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has little bits of facial hair that have sprouted up since shaving yesterday. His voice, tinged with a southern accent, is getting lower. Five months into testosterone shots, Avery looks like, talks like, even acts like an ordinary man. But Avery was born a woman and, until four years ago, had been living by a name and persona that never felt quite right. He grew up an only child and describes himself as quiet and kind of nerdy. Avery didn't get along well with his mother. He remembers being emotionally abused by her, but he doesn't remember, or want to talk about, specifics. Avery didn't always know he wanted to be a boy. He didn't grow up in his suburban house in Plano, Texas, trying to pee standing up or running around the neighborhood without a shirt on. He didn't dress like a boy or act like one. Laurel arrives and Avery tells her. This is the first time he has verbalized that he is a trans man. Now he thinks: What does this mean? Avery realized over the course of the school year that he was transgendered too, but it would take until May 2007 for him to share that with anyone. Avery had a different name when he was a girl. That name is a representation of who he used to be Avery sits in his dorm room at Alabama. It's finals week and, to add to the stress of tests, he's about to tell his best friend that he's a transgender man. He called Laurel earlier, urging her to come over. He's been freaking out, and anxiety is setting in. Avery has been searching within himself, peeling back layers of his life like an onion to get to the tiny core that no one, including himself, has seen before. --some time with friends, and it's time to make it permanent. He tells Laurel one night as they sit in a car. His former name is mentioned. He won't even tell anyone that name anymore. A year after coming out as a transgender man, he decides to change his legal name. He has been going by Avery for Avery takes on his new name and by the time he is a senior he has made it clear to all of his professors that they should use male pronouns when referring to him. Life is starting to look up. He's slowly becoming more comfortable in his own skin. For the first time in his life, he feels that his brain is working. "You think of your brain as an image of a head with gears in it," Avery said. "All of these gears are supposed to be turning at the same time. It's like I had one or two gears that were turning at the same time, but the third one was off. I had a frame by which to understand myself that allowed me to make sense of myself. It made that gear turn at the same time as the others." But his new understanding of himself as a man often wasn't easy for others to accept. "I don't even know who that person is anymore." Laurel says. "That person doesn't exist to me." The school cafeteria is packed with students. Avery gets in line to give his ID card to the lady who swipes people through to allow them inside for food. He gets to the front and gives the lady his card. She looks at the card and stops. She studies Avery's face, looks back at the card and then looks at Avery again. Avery's picture was taken when he was still identifying as a female. He has long hair in the "I was identifying with a need to have a community or to have people like me." picture, but his current hairstyle is cut short like a man's. "Why would you ever do that to yourself?" the lady asks loud enough for others to hear. for others to heal. A line has formed, and anxious people are staring at Avery and the lady. Feeling nervous, he wishes she would just give his card back and let him eat. Avery doesn't respond. He stands quietly waiting for his card. AVERY DAME Instead of returning it, the woman laughs, calls over the woman working the next line, points to the card and then to Avery. Anxiety sets in. She eventually gives his card back, and he gets his food quickly and looks for an escape. He is mortified. Avery works at his desk where he conducts research for his master's work specializing in American Studies program. His work focuses on the online transgender community. --friends. During the next two years Avery transforms even more from herself to himself. On occasion, people are not sure of his sex and make it a point to let him know. He finds safety and avoids danger by keeping with a carefully chosen, tight-knit group of "I've always been very self-selective with the people I interact with and the places I go," Avery said. "So I tend to avoid as many conflicts as possible just automatically. I tend to run in circles of people who I know are safe" His choice of friends and his progress in adjusting to his body have made him happier and the people around him have noticed. "When I was friends with Avery before he came out, he was always a little bit twitchy". Laurel said. "He was weary of being touched — closed in. When he started getting used to the idea that his body could eventually be something he could be safe and happy in, he started being a lot better with contact and being touched. He is so much steadier in himself." Avery graduated from Alabama with a bachelor's degree in English and minors in journalism and Asian studies in May 2010. He came to the University of Kansas in fall 2010, where he is seeking his masters in American studies. His thesis is based on researching the online transgender community. Doing work in a field of study that directly reflects his identity has helped Avery discern his own feeling; and development. One of his Not having the traditional transgender narrative makes it difficult for Avery to convince others, including therapists, that he is truly transgender. A transgender person seeking to medically transition must first meet with a therapist and receive support for proceeding with hormones and sexual reassignment surgery. Avery began seeing a therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services last semester. "I was very lucky," Avery said about the therapist he consulted. The therapist realized that Avery feared he wouldn't accept his story. He did. And Avery felt comfortable enough to tell him the truth of his story rather than making up the standard narrative. He received permission to go ahead and start taking testosterone. Now he had one more obstacle to overcome before he could proceed with his transformation. It was time to talk to his parents about his identity. One of his main difficulties had to do with what he calls his transgender narrative or life story, which differs from the one most transgendered people experience. Unlike them, he didn't grow up always thinking he was a little boy trapped in a girl's body. It was a transformation that occurred over time, and only when he was in college did he discover his true identity. "Your entire story becomes when you were two or three, you wanted to pee standing up," Avery said about the standard trans narrative. "Your entire essence gets boiled down to these ideas that you can locate it in childhood, and I'm not so sure you can." 图 10 "Why do you need to do it?" Avery's mom yells and slams her fists onto the table repeatedly. "The essence of me never changes but the container I'm in is what changes." Avery told his parents that he was going to start taking testosterone so that they wouldn't be surprised once he began changing physically. He knew this was how it was going to be. His dad doesn't say much. His mom screams and makes him feel bad. She's barragged him with questions for the past hour, but it's that one question that makes Avery think his mother will never understand him. He can't answer that "Why?" question for her. He can't tell her why her daughter wants to become a man. She wants answers. She wants to know if Avery was sexually molested when he was younger. Definitely not. She wants to locate the exact time and place the decision happened. Avery can't do that. Even though he didn't expect their approval, he is disappointed and frustrated with their reaction. He's left with little hope that his parents would understand him. Avery feels awkward at the doctor's office. He packed, meaning he stuffed a sock to fill out his pants like a man's penis. He's about to get his first testosterone shot on that forgettable day - Dec. 1, 2010. The nurse who is injecting him is a sweet, middle-age woman, and Avery listens carefully to all of the instructions she gives him so he can inject himself from here on. Despite the embarrassment, he feels a sense of pride. “It's kind of like you're sticking the man juice in you, in a Freudian sense,” Avery said. “There's this phallic object of injection. It contains a lot of what you want, a lot of your aspirations. It's very momentous.” Much has changed for Avery in the past five months since he's been taking testosterone, particularly physically. He now injects himself with 150 milligrams every two weeks. At first his voice cracked a lot, but now it is gradually dropping that Avery barely notices AVERY DAME 图 the change. He's developed hair in strange new places, such as his upper arms. He has started to shave his face for the first time in his life. His body fat has shifted, giving him a more masculine shape. He realizes he is going through a 12-year-old boy's puberty and a woman's menopause at the same time as his menstruation cycle ends with the onset of testosterone. He measures his changes by looking in the mirror. "I see the man I want to be staring back at me," he said. But the transformation isn't over. Avery hopes to get surgery in the future. He's not exactly sure when, but it depends on finishing graduate school and saving enough money. Insurance won't cover sexual reassignment surgery and costs can range from $3,000 to $7,000. Avery knows he will have a mastectomy, but he's undecided about having a hysterectomy. Transgender men also have the option of a phalloplasty surgery, which harvests tissues from other parts of the body and reconstructs that tissue into a penis. Another option is metoidioplasty, which enlarges the clitoris, and reroutes the urethra through it. For now, Avery is not interested in either of these procedures. "It's horrendously expensive," Avery says. "It doesn't look very realistic and it is not always that functional. I'm not terribly concerned." Despite his physical transformation, Avery says he is the same person inside his changing body. The difference is that the inside and outside match. "The essence of me never changes," he says, "but the container I'm in is what changes."

R. H. "Sometimes, I have to look more "feminine" than I want to for the sake of trying to get a job. I think a men's shirt, vest, and tie is more me, but I don't think I do too bad in the "femme" department. :-)" C. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z. THIS PHOTO AND CAPTION WERE CONTRIBUTED FROM LAUREN'S FACEBOOK PAGE Lauren Bornstein, 23, grew up in a loving home environment in Lawrence with her parents, a sister and a twin brother. Her parents never pushed gender roles on any of their children. Lauren always felt safe, and she felt that she could talk to them about anything. Despite this close connection, her parents didn't learn that Lauren was bisexual until her sister decided to tell them when Lauren was 17. "My parents kind of had it figured out, and they'd always say it would be OK if I told them," Lauren said. "Parents don't understand. You don't ask somebody; you don't push somebody and say, 'are you gay? Nobody wants to be labeled." Although her parents found out before she was ready to tell them, they accepted her and gave her unconditional support. When Lauren told her friends, they weren't so understanding. Lauren suddenly found herself abandoned by many she considered close friends. "They thought I was flirting with them, which is like every gay person's fear, that people will treat them differently once you come out," Lauren said. Lauren remained bisexual for a few years, but eventually realized she was a lesbian. A Free State High School graduate, Lauren started attending the University of Kansas in the fall of 2005. Her freshman year of college was filled with traumatic events, including a relationship and coming to terms with both her femininity and her ultimate preference for a more traditional masculine gender role in relationships with other women. attractive. Lauren had a flair for feeling comfortable in a sweater vest and tie. She would see other women wearing ties and thought it was "I thought to myself, 'I could rock that!'" Lauren said. She wanted to be comfortable in what she wore. It wasn't until Lauren was introduced to the terms "butch" and "femme" that she began to feel the pressures of being a female with masculine tendencies. Although she loved wearing men's clothing, she was terrified of being called "butch." She tried to fight it. more and more compliments for how she looked. As Lauren started to develop her personal style and realize what she looked best in, she began to receive "You want to look a way that you don't," Lauren said. "I feel best in androgynous form." "A guy friend that I had at the time thought I was attractive no matter what." Lauren said. "It didn't matter that he wasn't a woman. He thought I looked good in my girl clothes, and he loved me for that." "I like treating a girl in a stereotypical way that we would identify as masculine," Lauren said. "I like to have a girl on my arm; I like to show her a good time." Women were also starting to pay attention to Lauren. By the time she reached her junior year, she was dating more and noticed the positive attention she was getting. Accepting herself also meant she had a heightened sense of awareness. It was in summer 2010, after graduating with a double major in sociology and gender studies, that Lauren went to the bar in a small town in Missouri. That event made her scared to dress in a masculine fashion for the first time since her freshman year in college. "I couldn't go out for a week after that," Lauren said. "I felt so sick to my stomach that someone would see me on the street and think I looked too gay or manly." --- It's been nearly nine months since the incident, but there isn't a day that goes by that Lauren doesn't think about the clothes she's wearing. She wants to avoid drama. "I am amazed at anybody who is completely comfortable in what they can wear," Lauren said. "I know in my heart and mind, I don't want people making fun of me. I just want the respect and acceptance that we all deserve, and I don't want the fear." Lauren writes a blog to help her cope with her gender-related issues. She started just anothergayinthelife.com in June 2010. She writes not only about her own experiences, but also discusses issues in sexuality and gender. One major issue she refers to, specifically because it pertains to herself, is the idea of labels. "I'm genderqueer," Lauren said. "If people need something I give them that label. I prefer no label because nobody should be labeled. Genderqueer is easier to understand. It's not man; it's not woman. It tells you that this is ambiguous. It's a mixture of being both and of being neither. This is gender and it's a little weird." - Edited by Ashley Montgomery Contributed photo Lauren (below, right) poses with her friend Emily (below, left) during the 2007 Pride Prom.

Lynn Jenkins, from the second district in Kansas, said Tuesday that Republicans could be punished at the ballot box in 2012 if their plans to balance the budget angered senior citizens and other voters. The KU College Republicans invited Jenkins to speak about the House Republican budget proposal for 2012 and attracted an audience of more than 20 people at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The congresswoman used some of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's charts and graphs to illustrate the federal spending, national debt and budget proposal that Republicans call "The Path to Prosperity." She said if voters elected Republicans to the Senate and the executive office in 2012, the government would proceed with changes to Medicaid and Medicare as described by Ryan and would make cuts in defense as well as discretionary spending. At the same time, Jenkins said, revenue could be increased by closing loopholes in the tax code that currently leave 47 percent of the country, including corporations like General Electric Co., paying no taxes at all. Jenkins said that Republican legislators elected in 2010 needed help from the electorate to carry out their plan. "It's not enough to vote," Jenkins said. "We need you all to go out and get involved." By Ian Cummings Former leaders look back at their time in office STUDENT SENATE BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcaundra@kansan.com As their time as student body president and vice president wound down, student body leaders Michael Wade Smith and Megan Ritter took the time to sit down with The University Daily Kansan to reflect on their time in office. Smith and Ritter will give their final officer reports during the last Senate meeting of the year at Joint Senate Wednesday night in the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Following the reports, the former senators will leave and the newly elected senators will remain. Looking back at their administration, both Smith, a senior from Goodland, and Ritter, a junior from Overland Park, consider their time in office a success. Based on their numbers, it was. "Seventeen out of 20 items is probably one of the biggest successes of a Student Senate administration in, for sure, recent history," Smith said. "I would venture to say history." The numbers Smith refers to to are from the Student Senate Legislative Agenda list hanging in the Student Senate office. The agenda contains 20 platform issues promoted during Smith and Ritter's election campaign. Under their administration, 17 of their 20 platforms got accomplished, as denoted by a red check mark signifying completion. Smith said the most noteworthy accomplishment was the Wescoe Underground expansion. "When we were running a year ago, people were really excited about making that horrible space down there at lunch time a little bit easier to navigate, and that's getting done," Smith said. Construction on the 139-seat expansion will break ground in May and will be completed around the end of August. Other platforms accomplished this year included self-defense classes for all students, an advertising partnership with the Lawrence Journal-World, the BIG Event and Jayhawk Tailgate. But not everything Smith and Ritter said would get done did. One of their major platforms for the 2010 elections last April was the Student Services Center. The center would have included a variety of services, like academic achievement and success, disability services and a writing center. "That was a case of where, despite our hardest efforts, that project will take more than a year," Ritter said. Another failed platform was the game day on-campus busing. Ritter said she still supported the idea, but with the current level of cost for operation and maintenance, it wasn't feasible. Despite the setbacks and perhaps lack of planning, Ritter and Smith would like to see conversations continue into next year regarding those ideas. "There were some things that were very well-intentioned, and I still think very good ideas, that turned into far more complex issues than we In picking up where Smith and Ritter's administration left off, Smith said he hoped the newly elected student body leaders, also members of KUnited, "don't forget to act right away." "We were the ones who acted really quickly and probably should have planned it," Smith said. "I had anticipated," Smith said. think they will be planners who will wait to act." Through those 17 successes and a few failures, there were some things they wish they had done differently. In addressing transparency concerns, Smith said, Student Senate could have provided better access to information. Ritter said the most difficult time they encountered while in office was during block allocations. During block, Senate passed approval to cut funding for four community service programs in two years, creating a stir throughout campus and the community. "We were the ones who acted really quickly and probably should have planned it. I think they will be planners who will wait to act." "It generated a lot of negativity and a lot of that was misdirected at Michael," Ritter said. "But it was another case, I think, of not what's popular but what should be done. We also didn't realize the extent to which that would be unpopular." Through the ups and downs, the pair endured everything thrown at them with minimal damage to their spirits, and at the end of the day, MICHAEL WADE SMITH Former student body president Ritter, said they are still the same dreamers as they were when they entered into their positions. "We like to dream big and think about not just how things are but how they should be." Ritter said. "I think that we came in that way and although we maybe became a little more grounded and more realistic in our dreams now. We will continue to push the possibilities of what can be and what can happen because I think that led to a lot of changes this year." -Edited by Sarah Gregory HIGHLAND HILL Beeches Ridge WHERE THE TRUE HAWKS NEST PARKS A CHELSEA COUNTY HOSPITAL Stop by our booth today on Stauffer-Flint!

Look inside for all of the highs and lows, including a look ahead. KANSAS,3-CREIGHTON.5 Missed opportunities BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com While maturing greatly over the course of the season, the Jayhawks showed that they are still an inexperienced ballclub after making mental mistakes throughout their 5-3 loss to Creighton. Relying on young players the whole year has led to Kansas dropping nine of its 20 losses this year by one or two runs. The Jayhawks felt their game against the Bluejays in Omaha, Neb., provided the perfect opportunity to show off how much they've grown up. Loss number 21 proved otherwise. PAGE 1B KANSAS "We did everything we didn't want to do," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. I don't know if it's a lack of concentration, or maturity. I don't have that answer. I just know that you've got to be able to come in here and take care of yourself before you can take care of anybody else." "We did everything we didn't want to do." Kansas early in the game, particularly in a dangerous third inning situation. After managing to hold Creighton to 1-for-12 at the plate with runners in scoring position for their first seven innings in the game, the Jayhawks finally caved in the eighth inning. Junior closer Colton Murray came out of the bullpen in a difficult situation, with Bluejays runners on first and second base with one out. Murray appeared to be rattled in the nerve-racking situation, throwing three straight balls in his first three pitches. He walked the leadoff batter in five pitches, and nearly recovered. Creighton outfielder Jordan Makovicka later singled off of Murray's first pitch to him, scoring two runs on the play, giving Creighton a 5-3 lead. Pitching in the nationally televised game and in front of a crowd of 4,309, freshman Alex Cox kept the damage to a minimum for JIMMY WATERS Senior outfielder With Creighton runners at every base and nobody out, the Bluejays took a 3-2 lead off of a sacrifice fly from shortstop Jimmy Swift. Cox then limited the damage by forcing a fly out to left field, walking the following batter, and getting another fly out. With the game tied at 1-1, Cox walked the Bluejay's leadoff batter off of a full count, and followed it by giving up a single to left field, in which the runner on first advanced to third. Creighton then loaded the bases after an error by Kansas first baseman Zac Elgie. "I think he showed maturity getting out of those situations with minimal damage, but I think the next part of his development is he can't let himself get in those situations." Waters said. "He's got to eliminate those if he's going to take another step." Waters smacked a two-out RBI double down the left field line in the fifth inning, tying the game at 3-3. Junior first baseman Zac Elgie then gave the Jayhawks the lead by hitting an infielder single that brought in junior outfielder Jason Brunansky. Freshman reliever Frank Duncan came into the tight situation in the seventh with Kansas leading 3-2. Duncan left a fastball that Creighton freshman Mike Gerber got a hold of, sending the ball to right-center for a triple. Duncan later gave up the lead by throwing a wild pitch that enabled Gerber to score from third on. "I don't know if it's something that's going to be figured out this year, or maybe later on," Waters said. "Were close, but close isn't enough right now."

Aaron Harris/KANSAN NECILIA SOFTBALL Team works toward chance of regional play BY HANNAH WISE Sophomore outfielder Alex Jones misses a diving catch Wednesday at Arrocha Ballpark. Kansas was defeated 3-0 and 4-2 by Tulsa hwise@kansan.com The softball team will play its final road test of the season tonight in Wichita against Wichita State. The Shockers are 16-31 overall and 8-11 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Jayhawks (29-20, 2-14) want to use momentum from their 8-6 victory in the weekend series against Iowa State to propel them through the remaining seven games of the season. The weekend series refreshed the team's NCAA Regional hopes. It needs to win these last seven games to even be considered by the NCAA selection committee. Picking up the victory against Iowa State Saturday was the first step toward that goal. "We are going to keep fighting," coach Megan Smith said. "We have got to take care of the rest of our season." The rest of the season consists of tonight's doubleheader against WSU, then a week-long home series against Texas A&M, Drake and UMKC. The team has been focusing on themselves and what they can do to react to teams rather than preparing for a certain play style. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN A focus on fundamentals is what the team used to gain its historic 26-3 start to the season. Every week, when asked what the "We are going to work on the little things to be fundamentally sound." junior outfielder Liz Kocon said. Since beginning conference play, the team lost its fundamental focus. It has been wrapped up in team was going to work on, Smith said something to the effect of, "We are going to focus on the little things. We are going to focus on ourselves." track. It is a non-conference game. It is on the road, something that has played to the team's advantage this season. There is no pressure to pull out a victory at home. This doubleheader against the Shockers is the perfect opportunity to put the Jayhawks back on the level of opponents that it is facing, an easy thing to do considering eight of its conference opponents are ranked in the top 25 nationally. Sophomore outfitter Maggie Hull said it best: "We can go to regionals. We have $ \mathbf{a}_{2} $ chance of going. All we have to do is get some more wins. We are on the bubble. We are a really good team, and we can do this." Edited by Sarah Gregory COMMENTARY One week can change everything BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball F funny how it all plays out sometimes. About a week ago, and about seven months too early to say, Kansas looked like quite the long shot for an eighth-straight Big 12 title. Texas was too good, Kansas was losing too much, and the Kansas math looked even more implausible than it did heading into this year. Then Jordan Hamilton announced his decision to enter the draft, along with Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph, all in one fell swoop. And the Longhorns went from presumptive Big 12 favorite and national preseason top-five team to maybe outside the top-five of the diminished Big 12. So who remains? Baylor will be good, with the unexpected return of Perry Jones adding to the formidably lengthy frontline of Quincy Acy and Anthony Jones. Texas A&M returns super-soph Khris Middleton, and Mark Turgeon is as good a coach as any not named Bill Self in the league. Missouri, too, will be loaded, assuming Kimmie English and Laurence Bowers do the smart thing and return to school. That leaves Missouri, which just hired a coach who didn't have a winning season in the ACC in seven years at Miami. He's got all sorts of talent, including maybe the best back-court in the league, but if new coach Frank Haith couldn't win in the top-heavy ACC, the Big 12 shouldn't be any easier. Texas A&M is essentially the exact opposite of Baylor. The Aggies lack the talent, outside of Middleton and David Loubeau, to be a top contender even in a weak Big 12. Turgeon keeps on winning even without it, turning them into a perennial NCAA Tournament team. But they're still not at the level where they can actually win the league. But Baylor, for all its returning talent and remarkable freshman class, had even more talent last season and crumbled like feta cheese. Coach Scott Drew has struggled to maximize the incredible potential he pulls into Waco on a yearly basis. Barring a dramatic turnaround in that regard, Baylor's finishing no better than second or third in the league. So Kansas, despite losing the Morris twins and the unlimited potential (and limited production) of Josh Selby, looks like the early favorite once again. If the Jayhawks are good enough to back it up, the world will know early with the tough non-conference schedule on deck. But even if they lose that second game to Kentucky, and fall to 1-4, worst case scenario, at the brutal Maui Invitational, they'll have lost maybe their four most difficult games of the year. The Big 12 lacks the talent of the majority of schools in the Maui field, and Kentucky and Ohio State are the best two teams on the Kansas schedule. So Kansas could still be the favorite, even if they had five non-conference losses. Funny how it all plays out sometimes.

FACT OF THE DAY -didyouknow.org Q: Who led the Kansas basketball team with 53 blocks and recording three triple-doubles during the 2007-2008 season? TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: Darrel Arthur kuathletics.com MORNING BREW Art recalls Muhammad Ali's glory He was the heavyweight champion of, as he would call it in his Kentucky drawl, "the whole big world." He danced around boxing rings like he was Gene Kelly "Singin' in the Rain." He held his gloves unconventionally low, toyed foes with left jabs and then smashed 'em with long right hooks. And he rarely stopped talking while he did it. When he was young, no fighter was faster or more dominant than Muhammad Ali. These days, Ali suffers from Parkinson's disease. The boxer who used to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee now struggles to speak and walk. The hands that shattered Sonny Listen, George Foreman and the rest now tremble. But a new installation in Los Angeles jumps back to his prime and helps us remember the younger face of Ali—perhaps the most recognizable face in sports history. Artist Michael Kalish's piece "REALIZE" is a colossal structure formed from five miles of stainless steel, two miles of aluminum tubing BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com and 1,300 black and white boxing speed bags according to realizeali.com. When walking around the memorial, it is difficult to tell what exactly is going on, other than some mathematical abstraction. However, if you walk in front of the piece and look at it from a distance, the once disarrayed collection forms into the face of Ali. The multi-faceted memorial pays homage not just to that face, but to the several dimen sions of a man who was much more than a fighter. After defeating Sonny Liston in 1964, the man once known as Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali and became a member of the Nation of Islam. At a time when Martin Luther King was dreaming "that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls," Ali, for some time, was preaching the contrary. The Nation of Islam advocated separation of races until whites and blacks were viewed as equals. Until his departure from the sect in 1975, Ali was the Nation's poster boy. THE MORNING BREW Mike Marqusee/Contributed Photo And at the height of the civil rights movement, Ali refused to participate in the Vietnam War. "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?" Ali asked, according to Mike Marqueese's book "Redemption Song: Muhammad Ali and the Spirit of the Sixties." In 1967, he was subsequently stripped of his heavyweight crown and boxing license. The greatest fighter of all time couldn't fight. But he stood by his beliefs, never fought in Vietnam and was permitted to re-enter the ring by a Supreme Court ruling in 1971. No matter what you think about Ali's political and religious ideals, his greatness in the ring cannot be denied. Kalish's installation helps us remember the face of the man who said, "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize." Edited by Amanda Sorell If you didn't, hed make you.

The top-seeded Bulls can breathe a little easier after getting a dominant performance by their MVP candidate and an emphatic win that came on the heels of four dramatic games. They can also turn their attention to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they'll meet Atlanta or Orlando. Rose seemed just fine after spraining his left ankle in Game 4, hitting 8 of 17 shots. He dominated in the early going and came up big in the third after the Pacers pulled within four. He scored 10 points over the final six minutes, and Chicago ended the quarter on a 23-8 run to blow the game open. The Bulls hit 14 of 31 3-pointers, including five by Keith Bogans (15 points) and three each by Deng and Rose. Deng also had seven assists and six rebounds. Joakim Noah added 14 points and eight rebounds, and the Bulls won a playoff series for the first time since they swept Miami in the first round in 2007 even though Carlos Boozer scored just two. Danny Granger scored 20 for the Pacers. Tyler Hansbrough added 14 points and 11 rebounds, but the Pacers trailed the entire way and committed 21 turnovers. The Pacers had just scored seven straight to pull within 61-57 midway through the third when Rose and the Bulls put them away. Taj Gibson actually started the barrage with a 19-footer. Then, Rose went to work. He hit a 3-pointer, blocked Hibbert down low, and hit another 3. Then, he stole the ball from Nick Collison and got fouled on the break, hitting 1 of 2 free throws to make it 70-57 with 4:32 left in the quarter. Rose nailed another 3-pointer two minutes later to make it 75-60, and Bogans buried two more as the lead hit 82-65 with 42 seconds left. Things took a nasty turn in the closing seconds when Josh McRoberts threw an elbow at Noah and got ejected. The two were starting to run the other way after a missed 3-pointer by Rose. McRoberts swung his right elbow at Noah and missed, but he got called for the flagrant foul and got tossed. Noah bit both free throws with 2.5 seconds left to make it 84-65. The series win is another big step for a rebuilt team that leaped into the championship picture, igniting the fan base in a way not seen since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were leading the way.

Indians pounce all over Royals as Masterson wins fifth straight MLB KC Kansas City 46 ASSOCIATED PRESS Amy Sancetta/AP Photo Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Louis Coleman comes off the field after finishing the seventh inning against the Cleveland Indians in a baseball game last night. Coleman gave up a three-run home run to Indians batter Shin-Soo Choo on his first pitch upon entering the game in the seventh. CLEVELAND — Justin Masterson won his fifth straight start, a stunning personal turnaround from last season, Jack Hannahan hit two home runs and Shin-Seon Choo hit a three-run shot, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 9-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Masterson (5-0) allowed three runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings. A year ago, the right-hander started 0-5, lost 11 straight games over two seasons and went winless over a stretch of 17 starts — a club record of futility. He's a different pitcher in 2011. The Indians are a different team. They hit five homers and won their eight straight at home. Grady Sizemore went three for four and hit a two-run homer in the eighth for the Indians, who are 14-8 for the first time since 2007, when they won 96. Hannahan hit solo shots in the third and fifth off Luke Hochevar (2-3), and Choo connected in the seventh on reliever Louis Coleman's first pitch to make it 7-3. Melky Cabrera homered and Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 19 games for the Royals. Kansas City has dropped four in a row. Masterson's reversal has been one of the keys to the Indians' quick start. He finished strong in 2010, and has carried it over into this season. Of his five wins, four have come following a Cleveland loss and he's gone at least six innings in each start. He was pulled in the seventh with the Indians up only 4-3 and the tying run at second. Reliever Tony Sipp came on and struck out Chris Getz, but the left-hander loaded the bases with none out in the eighth. Manager Manny Acta brought in Vinnie Pestano, who worked out of the mess by getting two pop-ups and a strikeout. Choo's third homer gave the Indians some breathing room in the seventh. Hannahan and Asdrubal Cabrera singled before Royals manager Ned Yost pulled Hochevar. Choo, who came in batting just 207, then blasted Coleman's first offering into the bullpen in center. While the Indians' strong start may have surprised many around baseball, Acta always believed his team would be contending from the outset. And as for his club battling Kansas City for first in the AL Central, Acta couldn't care if it's April or October. "It's good for baseball," he said. "It's good for both cities, both fan bases. Despite how early it is, we're happy about it."

After losing Sherron Collins and two lottery picks, it just wasn't possible to replicate the previous year's success Bill Self said so before the season: "Well, this team's not going 33-3." About that. About that. "Well, technically I was right," Self said after the season. "We went 35-3." Self called it "Kansas math" before the season, the idea that the Jayhawks could lose so much and not have a significant drop off. And before the season started, media and coaches alike predicted that the math wouldn't add up. Kansas State was picked as the preseason Big 12 favorite, with Self and the Jayhawks slated to finish second. About that. The Jayhawks didn't lose a game in the nonconference season for the first time since winning a national title in 2008. There were scares — the Jayhawks needed late buckets against UCLA and USC and went to overtime with Michigan — but no slip-ups. Not until four games into the conference slate. "Obviously we're happy with the record," Self said. "The first season is important but not nearly as important as the second season. That's conference play." That first loss didn't come until Texas came to Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 22 to hand the Jayhawks their first home loss since 2007. The Jayhawks, emotionally drained by the death of Thomas Robinson's mother the night before, couldn't hang on to an early lead. The loss was overshadowed by Robinson's loss, though. "It says a lot that Thomas came out and played." Marcus Morris said. "It took a lot of courage to play since Thomas only has his mother and his sister. It is just a sad situation because you do not know what to say to him." Kansas steamrolled its next six opponents by nearly 20 points per game before traveling to Manhattan to face the preseason favorite Wildcats. For one game at least, they backed up that ranking, as Jacob Pullen poured in 38 points to hand Kansas its second loss and leave the Jayhawks two games back of Texas with five to play. But in true Self fashion, the Jayhawks managed against steep odds to wrangle their seventh consecutive conference crown away from the Longhorns, who stumbled down the stretch while Kansas won its last five. Morris earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors, and following a dominant three-game stretch in the Big 12 Tournament, which the Jayhawks won in a classic final over Texas, backed it up by being named the tournament's most outstanding player. Six days after the final, Kansas teed off on Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, turning a four-point halftime lead in to a 19-point whupping. Two days later, they handled Illinois 73-59 to move to the Sweet 16, joined by the 10-, 11- and 12-seeds in the region. But after putting 12th-seeded Richmond away in impressive fashion to become the only No. 1 seed in the Elite Eight, the Jayhawks stumbled at the hands of Virginia Commonwealth, which became the third 11-seed ever to reach a Final Four. "It was set up for us regardless of seeds," Self said. "We were the better team in my opinion. We weren't that day, but we were the better team, and that's tough to stomach." It was the last game of six Jayhawks' careers. Josh_Selby and the Morris twins declared for the NBA draft, while Tyrel Reed, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little will graduate in May. Edited by Becca Harsch A SEASO Thursday, Dec. 16, 2010 Mario Little suspended indefinitely after arrest Senior guard Mario Little was suspended indefinitely Thursday after an arrest early Tuesday morning on charges of battery, criminal damage and criminal trespass. Little was booked into Douglas County Jail just after 5 a.m. The arrests occurred in an apartment at 12th and Ohio streets. Lawrence police Sgt. Matt Sarra released an account of the arrest, according to police, in an email on Thursday; Police were called at about 2:45 a.m. to a disturbance in progress at the Ohio Street apartment. Little had gone to the apartment to see a former basketball manager who police identified as his girlfriend. 21 Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011 Jayhawks say goodbye to Thomas Robinson's mother Washington, D.C. — Thomas Robinson got out of a black limousine and immediately went to comfort his 7-year-old sister, Jayla, who was waiting outside Antioch Baptist Church Thursday morning. Jayla's hair was done up in meticulous braids with blue beads at the tips. She clung to her brother's waist and scrunched down against the fur lining of her parka's collar. It was the third funeral in less than a month for Robinson, a sophomore forward on the Kansas basketball team. Robinson's grandmother died in late December and his grandfather died less than three weeks later. Then, last Friday, the most shocking blow — his mother, Lisa Robinson, died from an apparent heart attack at age 43. By the end of the day, Robinson's pain would bring together the people from this neighborhood on the east side of Washington, D.C., and the entire Kansas men's basketball team. Together, in the modest red-brick church, they remembered Lisa Robinson and sought to comfort Thomas, Jayla and their brother, Jamah. 0 Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010 Josh Selby shines in debut Selby's debut went unconciasionally well, to the tune of 21 points and a game-winning three with 26 seconds left on the clock. The hype, if possible, actually came up short. He turned it over, and he missed a couple shots (5-of-11 from the field, 5-of-8 from three). But Selby did more than enough to become a Jahewk legend after just 27 minutes on the floor. "I don't think he should ever miss a shot or ever turn it over," coach Bill Seil said a week before Josh Selly's debut. "If he does that, I think he'll live up to what you guys think he should be." The hype was too much. Nobody, not even the No. I recruit in a class that has seen some pretty impressive freshman, could do what people were asking. Funny, right? Well, Selby didn't quite live up to that. Instead, in the Jayhawks 70-68 victory, he might have topped it. A. J.

KANSAS KANSAS 10 KANSAS Sunday, March 27, 2011 Jayhawks can't overcome deficit fall to Rams in Elite Eight The lesson the Jayhawks were supposed to take away from the Northern Iowa loss last season — that the little guy could do just as much damage as the blue bloods — maybe didn't stick. The Jayhawks came out flat, while the Rams came out scorching. The Rams charged out to a 14-point halftime lead behind 60 percent shooting from three-point range. "When you don't defend, you dig yourself a hole and you have to try to make a comeback," Morningstar said. "It's a lot easier to play with the lead than without the lead." Kansas, for all its talent and all its depth and all the things that made them the last one seed in the NCAA Tournament, just couldn't come back. There was a moment there, right in the middle of the second half, when everyone in the gym thought the Jayhawks were going to do it VCU coach Shaka Smart had just gotten a technical and Kansas had out the deficit to two. The VCU fans were quiet, deaf to the pleas of D. GAME heir cheerleaders, while the Kansas fans were raucous, sure that their layhawks were going to rise from the ashes of that terrible first half. Monday, Feb. 21, 2011 HALF DOLLAR Tyshawn Taylor suspended indefinitely Tyshawn Taylor, who has started 26 of 27 games at point guard for Kansas this year, was suspended indefinitely by coach Bill Self for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Morris was named Big 12 Player of the Year along with being named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while Self was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. They weren't the only two to receive recognition. Morris twi Markieff was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Seniors Tyreel Reed and Brady Morningstar received All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions and Morningstar was selected to the Big 12 Defensive Team. "I am very proud any time our players get named to a postseason award," Self said in a news release. "I am especially proud of Marcus for being consistent this year and being the premier performer in our league. It certainly is a compliment to him but also to his teammates to allow him to do what he does. Markieff, Brady and Tyrel also deserve their recognition as well." A day after Kansas won the big 12 regular season conference title outright on Saturday with a 70-66 victory against Missouri, the Jayhawks brought some more hardware of the individual variety to Lawrence. Morris is the first Jayhawk to win *Big 12 Player* of the Year since the 2004-2005 season. He joins four other Jayhawks who were named Big 12 Player of the Year: Raaf LaFrentz (1996, 1997), Drew Gooden (2002), Nick Collison (2003) and Wayne Simien (2005). Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor staying at Kansas Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor ended weeks of speculation with a joint announcement that they would return to Kansas to play basketball next year. Taylor, who would have been a second-round pick at best had he declared for the draft, strongly hinted that he'd return immediately after the Jayhawks lost to Virginia Commonwealth in the Elite Eight. He said then that he didn't think of himself as a guy who had a decision to make, but the decision wasn't made official until Kansas sent out a press release Wednesday afternoon. "The year was up and down for me, but I feel like I finished on a strong note and I am ready to carry that momentum into the summer and next year," Taylor said in the release. ection Lawrence PARKS SEASON! 785-842-3336 3100 OUSDAHL LAWRENCE,KS 4C / SPORTS / WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM Non-conference schedule 2011-2012 Kansas Athletics announced the non-conference schedule for the 2011-2012 men's basketball season Sunday.

He has snagged a pair of top-selling recruits. BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Marcus Morris Morgan Maki - Xavier Henry in 2009 and Josh Selby in 2010 - each of the last two springs. Kansas has had extra scholarships to give late in the signing periods, and when top unsigned Markieff Morris recruits have been searching for a home late in the recruiting process, Self and his staff have cashed in on those opportunities. The coaching staff has also had a late push for Daniels' IMG teammate Jamari Traylor, a three-star, 6-foot-7 power forward. Self has visited the teammates in Florida as recently as last Wednesday. Traylor has offers from Oklahoma State, St. Johns, Indiana and Kansas, among others. Self has also offered a roster spot to LaSalle big man Aaric Murray, who announced his decision to transfer from LaSalle after the season. Murray, a 6-foot-10 forward, has narrowed his decision to Kansas or West Virginia and will have two years of eligibility remaining but would have to sit out next season in accordance with NCAA rules. With the early departures of the Morris twins and Josh Selby to the NBA, the Kansas roster has plenty of room to welcome any unsigned recruits still searching. The first later-period commit came from St. Louis native Ben McLemore, who is currently a four-star recruit and Scout.com's 10th-best shooting guard in his class. McLemore, who narrowed his choices down to Kansas and Missouri, chose the Jayhawks on April 3. This year is no different. Canadian power forward Braeden Anderson was a relatively late bloomer. After initially signing a letter of intent with DePaul, he began receiving late interest from schools like Arizona, Kentucky, Memphis and Kansas. After an in-home visit from Kansas assistant Joe Dooley, Anderson verbally committed to Kansas shortly after. With room to more recruits this spring, the coaching staff still has its eyes on five-star recruit DeAndre Daniels and four-star Trevor Lacey. Daniels, a 6-foot-8 forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., has a final list of Kansas, Duke, Florida, Texas, Colorado and San Diego State. Lacey, a 6-foot-3 guard from Huntsville, Ala., has cut his final list to Kansas, Kentucky and Alabama. He is set to visit Kansas this weekend. With the departures of the Morris twins and Selby, Kansas has three scholarships open for the four recruits still available. Edited by Erin Wilbert THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LOSING WEIGHT, LOSING CONTROL BY EMILY MCCOY emccoy@kansan.com On Halloween night 2007, then-freshman Caitlin Hilton sat alone in her McCoHum Hall dorm room, turned up her CD “Songs to Die to,” put a handful of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety pills in her mouth and washed the chalky tablets down with a shot of Everclear grain alcohol. Hours later, she woke up in Lawrence Memorial Hospital with a foggy memory of an ambulance ride. On her tongue was the lingering taste of liquid charcoal, which emergency technicians used to flush out the toxins that Caitlin had hoped would end her life and the depression that plagued it. Two months later, when Caitlin sought psychiatric treatment at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, she was startled to learn that she wasn't being admitted for depression, but rather to treat an underlying eating disorder called EDNOS — eating disorders not otherwise specified. For Caitlin, restrictive eating was always a way to cope with depression. For others, depression and anxiety can flow from eating disorders. That was the case with Heidi, a senior and life-long dancer from Shawnee who asked that her last name be withheld. During high school, Heidi obsessed about counting calories and working out. Not only did she lose weight, she also lost friends and a sense of happiness. Even though these women have different stories, their experiences of struggling with both eating and psychological disorders are strikingly similar — and common. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that up to 75 percent of people with eating disorders have additional psychological disorders, such as depression or clinical anxiety. Regardless of which affliction comes first, these disorders can be a recipe for isolation, poor health and potentially death.

Sarah Plinky, assistant county administrator, presented her report on financial and legal issues surrounding the proposal during Wednesday's commission meeting. Although the report did not provide the amount of recipients who would qualify for extended coverage, Plinkys estimated that five to 10 employees would switch to the proposed plan. Given that figure, the report estimated the extension would cost $23,694 to $47,387. According to the report, the county would also be responsible for up to $150,000 of coverage. Jim Flory, chairman of the commission, said he was skeptical that the county could afford increases in the budget at a time when it was already forced to make cuts. "In light of the fiscal situation we're in," he said, "I struggle with the idea of adding more when we don't even know if we're going to make end's meet right now" Flory said he was also concerned about the legality of domestic partnerships. Although he recognized there were personal and moral obligations in these relationships, he said they lacked the legal obligations of marriages. "Domestic partnership, rightly or wrongly, is not a legally recognized relationship in the state of Kansas," Flory said. He added that the health plan historically has been extended only to legally bind relationships. He said if the county decides to move in the direction of extended benefits, he would suggest waiting until 2012 so the county can accurately gauge the costs. The commissioners also listened to public comments, which represented both sides of the issue. One person spoke against the proposal, arguing it would support an unethical lifestyle and become a heavy burden on taxpayers. Others claimed that extended coverage would not only promote equality in Douglas County, but would also benefit employees financially. One employee said her partner of eight years would save money and receive better benefits if the extension were approved. Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman echoed the proponent's arguments. “This issue is a priority for some, and for some it's a core value,” Thellman said. “The core value is about fundamental fairness to all people.” Joseph Jarvis, a law student from Lenexa, also spoke in favor of the proposal and said he was pleased the commissioners voted in favor of it. The commission will officially approve the proposal next week. Plinksy said her department was hoping to have open enrollment for the coverage by May 9. "I'm happy that the commission has decided to recognize all relationships in Douglas County as being equal and treating employees fairly," he said. — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux RESEARCH Doctorate student studies marriage Kim Schutte was a high school student when Charles and Diana married in 1981. She said the wedding was of little interest to her. Twenty years later, she has successfully defended her dissertation on the marriage patterns of the British aristocracy from the 16th to 20th century. Schutte is a graduate student and instructor in the humanities and western civilization and history departments. After teaching 14 years at Missouri Western State College, she entered the University of Kansas' doctoral program in 2006. Her dissertation examines marriage patterns of the British upper class as concepts of gender, rank and nobility transformed over time. "I was looking for a revolution in the marital behavior of aristocratic women and the self-perception of the nobility," Schutte said. "What I found instead was more than four and a half centuries of continuity." According to Schutte, British aristocrats continued to marry each other. However, Schutte said World War I changed their marriage patterns. "As it did for much of British society, World War I changed the marriage trends of aristocratic women," Schutte said, attributing the changes to aristocratic men going to war and the expanding role of women. The war contributed to changing marriage trends because of losses of aristocratic men in battle and the expansion of experiences for aristocratic women working in hospitals. Schutte said the rate of aristocrats marrying each other has dropped significantly throughout the 20th century, a figure supported by the upcoming marriage between Prince William and oft-described "commoner" Kate Middleton. Also relevant are the marriages of Prince Andrew to Sarah Ferguson and Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer. On Friday, April 29, Schutte will be awake at 2 a.m. She won't be on Massachusetts Street celebrating; she will be at home watching a prince marry a commoner.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2011 / NEWS 3A STUDENT SENATE The sentimental side of student leadership I Student Senate's President-elect Libby Johnson and Vice President-elect Gabe Blisz听会 to speeches from the former Student Senate members before taking over Wednesday night in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union Chris Neal/KANSAN BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com It was the old case of "out with the old in with the new" during last night's joint Senate meeting as the former executive Senate staff members bid their farewells and best wishes to the new senators. For about two and a half hours, the night consisted of thanks and gratitude from most of the former members of Michael Wade Smith and Megan Ritter's administration as they reflected on their time spent on staff during the past year. The Center for Community Outreach directors Emily Lamb and Kellen Bolt were not in attendance. The final meeting of the semester for student Senate took place in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union with both the former and newly elected senators in attendance. In her final officer report, Ritter, a junior from Overland Park, was unable to hold back her tears, and at times continue, as she individually addressed each member of the executive staff. "Amazing" was the word most often quoted last night as the former officers attempted to articulate what they gained from their Senate experience. podium When it finally came time for the last officer report, former student body president Smith, a senior from Goodland, took his turn at the "I can't say I did it perfectly but I did my best," Smith said. On more than one occasion, Smith had to pause to regain composure and wipe away his tears as he reminisced of his personal growth and the friendships that were established throughout the course of the year. body president and Ritter adjourned the meeting. As is tradition, the former staff headed to The Wheel, 507 West 14th Street, to add their names to the ceiling like all the student leaders had before them. With a final "Rock Chalk" chant, Smith stepped down as student With the old Senate gone, the new senators settled into their seats and into new roles. Newly-elected student body president Libby Johnson began her term by asking her fellow senators HOLDOVER SENATORS Casey Briner Josh Dean Alex Rippberger NEW EXECUTIVE STAFF Development Director-Kris Velasco Chief of Staff- Hannah Bolton Treasurer-David Cohen ■ Assistant Treasurer - Courtney Sheldon Government Relations Director - Brandon Wiederholt Outreach Director Brandon Woodard to now "turn their focus to the future." The meeting concluded with the approval of the executive staff. CAMPUS Edited by Brittany Nelson SCHOOL Potter Lake turns 100 - years-old on April 30. The Potter Lake Project will host a celebration from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday to celebrate Centennial celebration honors cleaner Potter Lake BY SHAUNA BLACKMON slbackmon@kansan.com Melissa Allen comes from a long line of University of Missouri graduates, but when she came to visit the University of Kansas, she fell in love with Potter Lake. Allen decided to leave a tradition of Tigers to become a Jayhawk. Now, years later, Allen is using her love for Potter Lake to help transform it from one of the dirtiest lakes in Kansas to the natural landmark it once was. In May 2009, Allen, along with a few other dedicated students, presented a proposal to the Provost assessing the problems of the lake,- ranging from aesthetic to environmental Allen said. "We presented that and our solutions," Allen said, "and they basically said 'Go ahead with it, but we have no money.'" Allen and the rest of the members of the Potter Lake Project spent the next few years finding ways to improve the lake with less funding than they had hoped, as well as finding a few donors "We got all of this stuff done that we didn't think would happen so we really wanted a time to recognize the people who helped out with it," Allen said. "The lake is much more ecologically sound, we just want to bring people back there and recognize it as a green space on campus." To commemorate both the 100th birthday of Potter Lake and the work so many put into the restoration, the Potter Lake Project will be hosting a birthday party picnic on Saturday. including the company Design and Company Management, which helped with many facets of the project. While Allen said that there is still a lot of improvement to be done, dredging the lake and installing aerators has helped tremendously. Allen encourages students and faculty to come see the beauty Potter Lake was originally meant to be, and to bring a lawn chair, Frisbees or footballs. Potter Lake was once home to athletic events, including swimming, diving and fishing. However, since the pollution became such a problem, those activities no longer take place. The lake once was 16 feet deep but now averages less than 3 feet deep. POTTER LAKE 100TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION **WHAT:** Live music and food will be provided. **WHEN:** Saturday, April 30, from 2 to 5 p.m. **WHERE:** Potter Lake, Dance Pavilion "There is so much concrete on Jayhalk Blvd, there is obviously great landscaping but I feel like Potter Lake, especially with the Campanile and the walk to the stadium, is just really nice space to be in," Allen said.

I never thought about yelling "fire" in a crowded theater until the Supreme Court gave me the idea. Which, by the way, is HILARIOUS. Free for all apps.facebook.com/dailykansan I really wish my parents had waited a month or so to conceive me. Last year, I turned 21 on Mother's Day and had a 7:30 final the next morning. This year I have a test and a major paper due the day after, and a massive group project I'll be working on. I ALWAYS GOTTA POOP! My 20th birthday is this Friday. So is the Royal Wedding. A royal party complete with British pop music and booze is born. Lumberjack Club. Would this be something for females who love beards and plaid on men? Or men who like wearing plaid and have beards? Either way I like it. I desperately wish I was Kate Middleton right now. Wait wait wait! Hold up playa. There's a couch in the girls bathroom??! Well if that is some big ole BS... I wonder what would happen if a sorority girl went missing. "Last seen wearing leggings, a large sweatsuit, Sperry's and carrying a Vera Bradley purse." That really narrows it down. I can't believe Donald Trump is taking credit for Obama releasing his long-form birth certificate! What an idiot! If you're gonna blare your music you might wanna choose a worlther genre than what my little sister listened to in middle school. There's a girl in the bathroom at Anchutz curled up on the couch sound sleep ... air horn anyone? I bet George Washington never imagined he'd be the number one cause of lapdances. ACHOO!!!! I think I just caught a cold ... probably from the ice inside my soul. Yeah, that's probably it. When the hell did I move to Seattle? The ever-present precipitation is only furthering my levels of apathy toward classes right now. Now that I go to KU, I've found that I know a lot more about the different suburbs of Kansas City than I want to know. Sometimes, I call KU Info knowing the answer to a question just see how much information they really know ... Then I call them out when they're wrong. If you don't feel lucky just to be on this campus breathing in KU air then you should probably leave this beautiful school. I have drunk six bottles of Smartwater tonight ... I don't feel any smarter. I'm sueing for false advertisement. Math help room: a place where I accomplish nothing and stare at the hot math guys. COMMENTARY Freedom is found inside a gold-tin wrapper I never thought a simple Chipotle burrito could upset me. But oh, it did just this past Sunday afternoon. Chipotle, along with other fine dining choices, was closed Sunday. All for that damn rabbit and his eggs. Ok. That's a bit of an exaggeration. That's not what Easter is about, but I'm still upset I didn't get my delicious goodness wrapped in gold-tin foil. Why must I suffer in my pursuit of culinary delights because of someone else's religion? This is America: land of freedom of religion,land of the free home of the fast-food lunch. It seems that one is only allowed to have freedom of religion as long as it coincides with the majority, the BY AARON HARDY BY AARON HARRIS aaharris@kansan.com Christian belief. Business shuts down on religious holidays and not just national holidays. Something seems askew there. I can understand Christmas. It has turned into a commercial holiday and even Wal-Mart closes for it. Not much to argue when the monopoly that is Wal-Mart decides to celebrate. It's curious to see what the reaction would be if businesses such as fast food restaurants and grocery stores were owned by Jewish companies. Would Christians get angry if these businesses closed on Shavuot, or Yom Kippur? The look on someone's face cause they couldn't get a Big Mac due to a non-Christian, non-national holiday would be amazing. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not anti-Christian. I believe you should follow your faith. However, this is not a Christian society, or at least its not supposed to be one. It isn't our recognized religion. We as a society don't have one. We live in a democratic and capitalist country. We have the right to practice our own views. However, when does that hinder others from practicing their own? It's difficult to be open to religion, especially as an agnostic, when you have it thrown in your face by the shutting of a business because it's someone else's holiday. To me freedom is freedom. It's pretty simple. And that means getting my Chipotle burrito when I want it. Harris is a senior in Journalism and history from Kansas City, Kan. Letter to the Editor No more Facebook topics on opinion page I will keep this short to make my point. Can we please divert the school's attention and focus onto some other more pertinent subject than Facebook etiquette? The article today (April 25) was basically a list of five behaviors someone who is well-adjusted would probably not do in the first place. I have nothing against Ms. Matney, but there has got to be something more interesting or edifying than Facebook. Between FFA and opinions, it is too much. Most articles you all post are interesting or humorous, but some, namely social media opinions or other obvious social phenomena (e.g., Jersey Shore commentary), are a waste of our time, brainpower and most of all paper. I would think the environmental clubs would see the apparent abuse of paper wasted for such drivel. Nothing personal to those who write these columns, but really? Facebook is old news unless it starts interacting with its user. Then maybe some trees should be cut down to cover that.

I always say I am ready for the semester to end, because classes get old, man — unless they're History of Silent Film with Professor Michael Baskett. That class just had... it (starring Clara Bow!)

In the past, the controversial site has come under fire from professors (what a coincidence) and others who claim it is unreliable and irrelevant. You know, like that second rate, barely trafficked Wikipedia — which is, like, totally a lie machine and not an interesting tool that can provide its readers with zounds of sources. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, professors. So, ratemyprofessors.com does have that weird chili pepper that for "hot" - you got a smiley face). professors and it probably has a few cleverly veiled lies floating around, but it has never let me down. I choose to believe that most college students realize what context clues are and if the review has some awful spelling and grammar or it is one negative review among tons of good reviews, it is probably not one to take too seriously. However, if you're one of those hippies purely here for hula hooping and hashish then those angry, exaggerated reviews about how a professor totally follows the University's attendance policy might be the ones to pay attention to. It's a free country. Be useless and lazy if you want to be useless and lazy. And professors, quit sweating over this website. You have to have some faith in your students. For instance, my favorite film professor, Professor Michael Baskett(FULL CIRCLE) has gotten a bad rap from University students on the website for being "hard FROWNFACE." So, his rating is low. But if you actually read the reviews, a lot of the students who complain about the difficulty of his courses admit he's an amazing professor with a wealth of knowledge about film. So I totally ended up taking his class! If the reviewers' only complaints are basically "OH MY GOD HE TREATS THIS LIKE IT"A COLLEGE COURSE OR SOMETHING," then ignore it (unless you're one of them hauloooers). Besides, people, we pay some hardcore dough for these classes. When you enroll each semester, you are basically making an enormous Amazon purchase. Why not have a review section? The reviews on ratemyprofesesors.com are like reviews on food, music or film. Some reviewers are Armond Whites and some are Roger Eberts - you generally have to use a bit of common sense to figure out whether a review is reliable or not.

Any atypical eating habits or tendencies. Eating disorders. A subcategory of disordered eating, characterized by the most extreme behaviors. These disorders are recognized as mental illnesses that require professional help. - Anorexia nervosa Characterized by self-starvation and extreme weight loss. - Rulmia-navasa Characterized by cycles of binging and compensatory behaviors designed to undo or compensate for the effects of binge eating. - Eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS): Symptoms don't meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia yet display severe eating disordered symptoms. - Ringe eating disorder Characterized by recurrent binge eating without the regular use of compensatory measures. Depression Depression is an illness that involves both mind and body. Depression can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. This may make it difficult to perform normal day-to-day activities, and depression may make it seem as if life isn't worth living. Riparian disorder. Sometimes called manic-depressive disorder, this causes mood swings that range from the lows of depression to the highs of mania. Depression may result in feelings of sadness or hopelessness and loss or interest or pleasure in most activities. Mania may result in feelings of euphoria and energy. Generalized anxiety disorder. A persistent form of anxiety that interferes with daily activities such as work, school or sleep. This can disrupt relationships and enjoyment of life, and over time it can lead to health concerns and other problems. - Definitions are based on those provided by the Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders organization (F.E.A.S.T.) and the Mayo Clinic.

EATING DISORDERS AND DISORDERS Merriam-Webster defines eating disorders as addictive psychological disorders that adversely affect the way a person's mind operates. Nationwide, an estimated 10 million women and 1 million men battle anorexia or bulimia, according to the National Eating Disorder Association. That's more than four times the population of Kansas. That figure does not include people dealing with EDNOS, which Caitlin was diagnosed with. This category includes binge eating, which affects one in five obese people, according to the Academy of Eating Disorders. More than half of the people diagnosed with bulimia are clinically depressed and anorexics experience similarly high rates of clinical anxiety. People with eating disorders also have elevated rates of bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance abuse, according to the National Institute on Mental Health. Steven Ilardi, professor of psychology and author of "The Depression Cure", said people sometimes use disordered eating habits to ease their other psychological pains. Because of this, psychological problems can appear before eating disorders. In the case of bulimics, binging on food and then vomiting it up releases endorphins. That temporarily numbs the emotional pain of depression. "If a person is emotionally upset, the binge-purge cycle is particularly soothing." Iflard said. For anorexics, the ability to control what they eat, how much they eat and when they eat provides a sense of comfort in a life otherwise out of control. On some occasions, she was so depressed that she would forget to eat for one or two days. Other times, she made a point of limiting herself to 650 calories a day, when her body weight suggested she needed 2,000 calories to be healthy. Those days, she ate a snack bag of Doritos and two strawberry Pop Tarts. In between eating, she weighed herself obsessively. CONTROL AND COPING If her weight went down, she was in control and happy — at least at that moment. In those gratifying moments on the scale, it didn't matter that she wasn't getting along with her mom, that she was having trouble with a boyfriend or that she still missed her friend. In some cases, psychological disorders follow an eating disorder. This was the case with Heidi, a petite blonde with an ear-to-ear smile that epitomizes the word "bubby." She is also a recovering anorexic who continues to take anti-depressant medications. EATING DISORDERS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE As a dancer, Heidi constantly worried about her weight. She couldn't help but think that other dancers had thinner legs or tighter stomachs when she spent hours each day surrounded by mirrors and leotard-clad girls. In eighth grade, she started skipping meals and swiping diet pills from her mother's medicine cabinet. The food deprivation increased during her sophomore year of high At first, restricting calories helped Caitlin mask her depression — but, it didn't make it disappear. Meanwhile, disordered eating became a problem of its own. "I couldn't control the situations around me, but I could control my eating." Caitlin first began restricting the food she ate as a way of coping with tragedy. She was 13 and her best friend had just been killed in a car accident. To avoid thinking about the loss, Caitlin instead focused on limiting the amount of food she ate CAITLIN HILTON "I couldn't control the situations around me, but I could control my eating," she said. three large Nalgene bottles of water so she wouldn't get hungry. As soon as class let out, she headed to the gym for 60 minutes on the elliptical. The day ended with dance practice from 5 to 9 p.m. She kept a meticulous calorie log, where she would write down everything she ate. At the end of a "good day," which entailed meals of half of an apple or a chicken patty with BRIAN the breading wiped on, she would scribble, "Yay! Good job!" After months of a monotonously similar cycle that left her malnourished and unhappy, she gave into her family's urging to go to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City for outpatient treatment. She didn't think she had an eating disorder, but she knew she wasn't acting like herself. She had withdrawn from friends and wanted to be alone in her room. "You think that when you're super skinny, you're super happy," Heidi said. "But that's not true." During her first meeting, her counselor held up pictures of two women and asked Heidi to choose the one she thought she looked the most like. Heidi chose a picture of a woman who weighed 40 pounds more than her. -8:00 - 1 egg w/ a little corn spread, small sweet sprout, spike wrt bread! small slice scoop, 73 yrs wrt gwgratia. -12:5 - Big standard salad w/tarty dressing, -9:00 - 2 copc crescent wrt bamana crescent, 1 delma, crescent wrt chiz. spread tick of a bit Smoky moss wrt bread w/ 7:30 - 1 dolma, slice paitak. spread, caprese (5 shk+0.7 plain) on a 15-musell (5 shk+0.7 plain) on small platter x 2, 1 micron "It takes over your brain and your body," Heidi said. She was diagnosed with anorexia and prescribed an anti-depressant medication. Slowly but surely, she began spending less time thinking about food and more time socializing with friends.

Heidi said. Six years later, Heidi is at a healthy weight and in a happy place. Still, she admits that neither the therapy nor the medicine were able to completely wipe obsessive eating thoughts from her mind. She's just learned how to stop negativity before it goes too far. "Whenever I get the tendency to go back there, I think, "No," Heidi said. She has also developed strategies for dealing with stress. Rather than obsessively working out, she listens to music to calm down. Instead of getting caught up in a chaotic day and winding up with a "good, empty feeling" in her stomach, she carries granola bars in her backpack so she'll have something to eat on-the-go. "People don't realize that eating disorders have very painful grips on these lives that can ultimately be life-threatening" Where she once fixated on counting unwanted calories, she now appreciates healthy food that fuels her body. These afflictions aren't limited For her, that means finding balance. "I've come so far to have a healthy relationship with food." Heidi said. "There's nothing wrong with being healthy. Just don't go past that line." UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS Society's expectations play significant roles in why women with eating disorders drastically outnumber men. According to one study by Ohio State University, the majority of college men feel pressure to be muscular. In contrast, women think they should be thin. Women's magazines contain 10 times more advertisements for dieting and weight-loss articles than men's magazines, according to the Media Awareness Network, a Canadian non-profit program. The problem is defining where that line is. Another study by the Just Think Foundation, which promotes critical consumption of media, showed that the average female model weighed just three-quarters of what an average woman weighed. Yet these models are often portrayed as ideal images of how women should look. STEVEN ILARDI psychology professor "Girls often go into college already afraid to gain weight," Chapman said. "By the time girls finish high school, they are already indoctrinated with how to look," she said. As a dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, Ann Chapman meets with students about their nutritional habits. With the abundance of skewed media messages, Chapman said it was no surprise that many young women had warped body images. SLIPPERY SLOPE An additional one-third of college women don't meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia, but display disordered eating habits such as binging, taking laxatives or using diet pills. In many cases, disordered eating tendencies lie dormant throughout high school, when girls eat healthy meals provided by parents, play competitive sports and live in a generally calm, and supportive home environment. "The transition from high school to college is always stressful, even if you're excited." Chaman said. Often, it's not until a stressful or traumatic event occurs that disordered eating behavior manifests. For Caitlin, it was when her friend died. For Heidi, it was a devastating breakup. For others, it's the move from home to college. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the average onset age of anorexia is 17 and for bulimia it's 18 to 20 - the very age of many college women. Chapman said part of this might stem from students fearing weight gain so much that they move in the opposite direction. aren't limited to thin girls. One study in the Journal of Obesity Related Mental Disorders found that overweight girls are more likely to develop disordered eating tendencies during their young adult years. Even seemingly normal behaviors can be the beginning of a slippery slope. A bad breakup? Eat a carton of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Not motivated to get out of bed? Skip breakfast. Worried about gaining weight? Count and cut calories. Taken together, these behaviors can evolve into legitimate eating disorders. And, when combined with other psychological disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, eating disorders can be even more difficult to overcome. "Although there are exceptions to every rule, the longer people are engaged in unhealthy practices, the longer the recovery," Chapman said. If eating disorders are ultimately left untreated, they can carry grave physical and psychological consequences. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental health disorder. One in 10 anorexics die at a young age from suicide, heart failure or other medical complications related to low weight. Bulimics are also at risk for permanent organ problems, such as esophageal tears or gastrointestinal damage. The suicide rate among anorexics and bulimics is 23 times higher than that of the general population, according to one study in the British Journal of Psychiatry. "People don't realize that eating disorders have very painful grips on these lives that can ultimately be life-threatening." Ilardi, the psychology professor, said. The problem for many with eating disorders is learning how to let them go. TWO-FOLD THERAPY Chapman said it was important for treatment to address all issues that feed into an eating disorder. In addition to nutrition education, therapy should help patients come to grips with the underlying reasons why they feel compelled to restrict, binge or purge. "If they've just come to see me to get the eating disorder under control, it's like putting a band aid on a problem," Chapman said. "Next time there is a major stressor, they'll revert back." Watkins Memorial Health Center has a policy of automatically referring any student who seeks treatment for an eating disorder to a doctor, nutritionist and counselor. A 2003 study that tracked the recoveries of anorexic patients showed that fewer than one-quarter of the patients who received CBT and nutritional counseling had relapsed to clinical anorexia. In contrast, more than half of the patients who met only with nutritionists had reverted to anorexic behavior. Chapman said this multifaceted treatment was vital in helping patients recover. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or "talking therapy," has proven successful among people with eating disorders. Even with therapy, one of the biggest obstacles to overcome is the codependency that many people have with their eating disorders. Chapman said that she has seen KU patients who had "love affairs" with their eating disorders. These people were so attached to their behaviors and mindsets that they struggled to emotionally commit to therapy even when their lives were at stake. In a few cases, Chapman quit providing nutritional advice to patients who were unwilling to confront underlying psychological issues. Otherwise, she said meeting with her was just giving them an excuse to justify their problem. "They might say, 'Well, I'm working on it,'" she said. "But this can go on for years if they feel validated for it." CHANGING VIEWS ON HEALTHFULNESS Much of that validation goes back to the pressure that society puts on women and that women put on themselves. College can be a particularly difficult time, as many women come in fearing the infamous Freshman 15 — the pounds that they put on when they replace nutritional meals from home with excessive alcohol and fast food. For some, avoiding this issue is a simple equation: Eat less to weigh less. Chapman said this becomes a problem when people don't recognize that there is more to overall health than food. "I certainly see lots of students who obsess about food,but not really about their overall health,"Chapman said. On the other hand, Chapman said there are many students who don't worry about being healthy at all. Ultimately, neither obsessing about nor neglecting nutrition is healthy, especially when negative habits continue throughout life, she said. "If you live in an apartment and have a terrible diet, you aren't likely to eat much better after you graduate and get a job," Chapman said. "Establishing healthy eating and activity patterns in college is really important." Chapman also stressed that part of finding balance was growing as an individual. "Many students are very egocentric and constantly worried about their bodies when they could be devoting this energy to their church, a class they have a passion for, a community shelter in need or to a friendship," Chapman said. A LIFETIME OF RECOVERY Even after committing to treatment, the road to recovery can be challenging. It requires changing how someone associates with food as well as learning how to deal with emotions in a positive way. For Caitlin, this hasn't always been easy. After her stay at the Menninger Clinic, Caitlin continued to struggle with depression and was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Along with the mental highs and lows, Caitlin also dealt with bouts of disordered eating. She is learning to recognize impulses to restrict her eating before they go too far. She likes going out with friends. She knows her dog, Giseppi, a small Yorkie who loves to snuggle, will be there to comfort her when she's feeling sad. At first, she was thrilled. Then, negative thoughts set in as she told herself, "You'll just screw this up like everything else." Still, she admits to having a person-with-depression mentality. This reared its head in March, when she was admitted to the School of Social Welfare. The difference is that, unlike three years ago when she felt hopeless about life, this time she's determined to try. "I'm finally getting to the point where I see improvement," she said. "It's trial and error." Edited by Dana Meredith MY ARTICLE MYSTORY McCoy used to keep a food diary with everything she ate. She said, "While I was dealing with my eating disorder, I obsessively wrote down all my meals. Occasionally, I feel a tendency to do this, but I know it's a trigger for me." It was five in the morning and the dull pain of hunger in my grumbling stomach wouldn't let me sleep. It didn't help that my protruding hipbones painfully jutted into my mattress. Jennifer Above is a photo of writer Emily McCoy in February 2010. She was inspired to write this article after learning from her own experiences. She said, "Even though I love photographs, I avoided being in them while I was anorexic. A part of me didn't want to accept the way I looked." Below is a photo of McCoy from this year. She said, "During the past year, I've reached a stable place with my weight. Now I feel much stronger, healthier and happier." Restlessly, I went downstairs. With pride, I avoided the fridge and resisted the temptation to grab one of the carrot sticks I had sliced the day before. The 15 calories weren't worth it. Instead, I pulled on my shoes and went to run two miles — or more. Just as it often did when I turned down invitations to hang out with friends or made up excuses about not being hungry, my anxiety had gotten the best of me — which, I later learned had really gotten the worst of me. Contributed photo At 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 100 pounds, I was 30 pounds under my healthy weight range. I knew this wasn't a "good thing." I also remembered doctors telling me that because of my weight, working out would put my heart at risk. But, at that pre-dawn moment, all that mattered was getting to run more and eat less. Why should my weight really matter when I looked at my skinny legs and instead saw fat on my thighs? Taking my life just more than one year ago. It's still hard for me to pinpoint where my "turn around" was. It could have been when my mom considered taking me out of school. It could have been when my dad looked at my arms, which were as thin as a broom handle, and said he was worried for my life. Even though I couldn't see my true self in the mirror, I could see in his eyes he was telling the truth. But, most likely, it was when I finally began meeting with a therapist who specialized in eating disorders. By talking with her, as well as meeting with my nutritionist and doctor, I was able to address the excruciating sadness I felt at my cousin's sudden death the year before. I was able to recognize my anxiety about gaining weight and not being as beautiful as my mom. I was able to heat and I was able to move on. That's not to say it was easy. I still have to make decisions about what to eat every single day. Back then, I lost sight of whom I was. Instead of reaching out to my friends and family, I withdrew into myself, shrinking inward just like my body. When those feelings of anxiety creep back, I look at the big picture and realize that life is so much better now than when I was both skinny and depressed. It didn't take long for the depression I felt inside to show on my face. I vividly remember a time I took the bus from the gym to class and caught a glimpse in the mirror of a sullen girl with sunken cheeks. It wasn't until I did a double take that I realized it was my reflection. Since committing myself to recovery, I've gained so much more than that desperately needed weight. In the past year, I ran three half-marathons. I spent eight weeks studying in Germany. I even got engaged and learned how to really love another person. I wouldn't wish my experiences on anyone else, but I am grateful for what I learned. Dealing with both an ing disorder and depression gave me perspective and it gave me a cause. I'll do whatever it takes to prevent any one else from going down that same path. Writing this article was just one step in doing that.

The Royals are right back where they started the season — at .500. Their fifth straight loss, 7-2 to the Cleveland Indians left them at 12-12, a disappointing drop for a young team that opened 10-4 and hopes to post its first winning season since 2003 and only its second since moving to the AL Central 18 years ago. "You don't want to get to 12-12 the way we did," manager Ned Yost said after the club's eighth loss in 10 games. "We're going through a "Cleveland is pitching very well," said Alex Gordon, who went 0-for-3 to snap his 19-game hitting streak for Kansas City. tough stretch and we just have to grind our way through it" Orlando Cabrera's three-run double in a five-run first inning off Jeff Francis (0-3) helped the division-leading Indians to their ninth straight home win. It was all the support Josh Tomlin (4-0) needed. The Royals have allowed nearly eight runs a game during their slide and have been outscored 38-20 during the streak. It all started with an 11-6 loss at Texas. "We need to settle the pitching down," Yost said. "It just wasn't Jeff's night. He was battling it right from the start and a lot of their hits were just finding the right holes." Francis made no excuses after yielding six singles and Cabrera's double in a 39-pitch first inning. "I left some balls up and they hit them," the left-hander said. "The odd time I made a pitch, they hit those, too. It was not just bad luck. I feel I can execute better." Every player in Cleveland's starting lineup got at least one hit as the Indians continued their early season trend of getting ahead quickly.

Kansas entered the final round in seventh place, but dropped to ninth in the final round of play by carding a total team score of 317. Kansas had been doing well in the previous three rounds, carding a 290, 303, and 293 respectively. However, the Jayhawks had to overcome a tough obstacle along their way. Sophomore Dan Waite had to withdraw due to an injury, leaving the team with only four players. Even though the team was shorthanded, coach Kit Grove was still proud of how his team did. "We were picked 11th going into the week, so finishing ninth was higher than was expected," Grove said in a release. "Four on five today was very difficult with guys knowing they didn't have a backup." Sophomore Chris Gilbert was a huge help for the Jayhawks. He placed 14th individually at the tournament with a total four-round score of 292 strokes. He carded the team's best scores for two rounds by shooting a 69 in the first round and a 75 in the second. Gilbert led the team in scoring average this season and earned his third-straight top 15 finish this season. All four of the Jayhawks' competing golfers placed in the top 30. Junior Doug Quinones shot a final-round score of 79. He ended the tournament with a collective score of 296, and tied for 22nd place overall.

FACT OF THE DAY — Lou Piniella Q: Which former MLB manager won AL Rookie of the Year with the Royals in 1969? TRIVIA OF THE DAY In 2003, shortstop Angel Berroa was the last Royal to win American League Rookie of the Year. MLB.com A: Lou Piniella MLB.com MORNING BREW Loss wasn't total disappointment Game 7 tends to be the most nerve- tracking contest for players and fans. Tuesday night's headline Game 7 tends to be the most nerve-racking contest for players and fans. Tuesday night's hockey game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks didn't go the way I wanted it to, but the fact that there was a Game 7 was good enough for me. The Blackhawks fought till the end and lost in overtime. --- BY MIKE LAVIERI lavieri@kansan.com Last week I thought the Blackhawks, down three games to zero, were on the brink of elimination. I said that the season was over and that I would focus more of my attention on the Bulls, who closed out the series against the Pacers on Tuesday four games to one. That didn't happen. I cheered for the Blackhawks more. I watched Game 4 at my house here in Kansas. I saw the Blackhawks come alive for the first time in this series, netting seven goals To the chagrin of my girlfriend, who is now getting into hockey, I listened to Game 5 on WGN Radio as I drove from Lawrence to Champaign, Ill., to pick up my brother and go back home. My girlfriend didn't want to listen because she didn't understand the game. After one period, the game was 3-0 and I told her I would turn on music after the Blackhawks' next goal. Less than two minutes into the second period, the Hawks netted another one. I couldn't believe what was going on. Chicago was in Vancouver giving the Canucks the whopping they deserved. Game 6 was on Sunday, the day I was driving back from Chicago. It's usually an eight-hour drive that I timed almost perfectly. I left at 11 a.m. and should have made it back at 6:30 p.m., just in time for the drop of the puck. But because of a gas stop just outside of Kansas City, Mo., I missed the first 15 minutes of the game. She fell asleep and I turned the game back on. Just before getting into Champaign, the game finished and I could breathe a sigh of relief. I thought the season was going to be over. I wasn't confident. I thought the luck had run out. But the game went into overtime and Ben Smith, a rookie who was still playing for Boston College just a few weeks THE MORNING BREW ago, gave the Blackhawks new life. Game 7: one final game that would send one team to the next round and send another home. I just wanted to watch at home, but my girlfriend wanted to watch it at bar. Remember this is the girl who didn't understand hockey, but ended up liking the game more than soccer. She's starting to love it. I was calm, but nervous at the same time. Chicago was down the entire game until 1:56 was left and Jonathan Toews gave the Hawks momentum. I thought they had the Canucks on the ropes, but for the first time in three years, Vancouver defeated Chicago in a playoff series. Edited by Helen Mubarak MLB Philadelphia's bats come alive against Arizona PHOENIX — Philadelphia had the pitching, not the hitting in the opener. Second game, they had hitting, no pitching. Facing their first sweep in the desert in nearly four years, the Philies got the hitting and the pitching to inch closer toward their winningest opening month ever. Cole Hamels pitched seven solid innings after being padded to an early lead and the Phillies kept swinging on their way to an 8-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Philadelphia didn't do it in the opener, shut out to spoil Cliff Lee's solid start. The Pangles hung坚固. five runs the second game, but still lost because Roy Oswalt wasn't quite right. That was more than enough for Hamels (3-1), who pitched the Phillies to their 16th win in April, one short of the team record set in 1993. In the series finale, Jimmy Rollins keyed a big first inning with an RBI double and Ben Francisco knocked in two more with another double. Rollins later hit a two-run homer, and Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard also hit solo shots. Placido Polanco continued his torrid start to the season, getting four of Philadelphia's 12 hits and scoring three runs to extend his hitting streak to eight games. Hamels and the hard-hitting Phillies never gave the Diamondbacks much of a chance at the sweep. Philadelphia roughed up starter Joe Saunders (0-3) early and tagged Arizona's bullpen, providing enough cushion to absorb Chris Young's two-run homer in the sixth inning off Hamels and solo shot off Antonio Bastardo in the eighth that cut Philadelphia's lead to 7-4. Philadelphia came into the series on a five-game winning streak and looked to extend it with Lee and Oswalt lined up to face the struggling Diamondbacks. Those two couldn't get it done, leaving it up to Hamels to avoid the sweep. The left-hander wasn't quite as dominant as his shutout against the Mets on Friday, but was good enough against the Diamondbacks. Hamels gave up an RBI double to Melvin Mora after a leadoff walk in the second inning, then retired the next 10 batters before pinch hitter Juan Miranda led off the sixth with a triple. Young hit the next pitch out to left for a two-run homer, cutting Philadelphia's lead to 6-3. Hamels came back out to finish off the seventh after allowing three runs on four hits, picking up the win Philadelphia hoped to get from Lee and Oswalt. The Diamondbacks won the series' first two games behind solid outings from Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson, and were hoping for another from Saunders, who allowed a run on two hits in six innings of a no-decision against the Mets on Friday. Hit hard almost from his first pitch, Saunders gave up three straight hits to open the game and three runs in the inning, on a run-scoring double by Rollins and Francisco's two-run, ground-rule double. Victorino hit a two-out soto homer in the second and Rollins lifted his first homer to left off Saunders in the fifth, a two-run shot that put the Phillies up 6-1. They didn't get it. THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS Saunders lasted 5 2-3 innings giving up six runs on 10 hits.

MEN'S GOLF | 10A Jayhawks take ninth place Kansas ends the Big 12 Championships with an overall score of 317. THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 12A FOOTBALL FLIP-FLOP A change in plans Sophomore quarterback Kale Pick runs down the field after a reception Nov. 20, 2010 against Oklahoma State.Pick had two receptions for nine yards during the game and changed to receiver full time in the offseason Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com He turned down Arkansas and the SEC out of high school, instead choosing the crimson and blue and Mark Mangino's pass-happy attack at Kansas. He redshirted in 2008 and backed up Todd Reesing in 2009, when he was placed as Reesing's No.2. Then things changed for Kale Pick. His head coach, Mark Mangino, resigned following the 2009 season and Pick's future was suddenly up in the air. After a quarterback battle last spring, head coach Turner Gill made the redshirt sophomore from Dodge City his guy. Pick had accomplished his goal of being the starting quarterback at the University of Kansas, albeit after a far different journey than he probably imagined. The story was complete. And then a new coach brought new perspectives which inevitably changed Pick's Kansas football career forever. Pick barely lasted three quarters in the 6-3 opening week loss to North Dakota State. He was relieved by freshman Jordan Webb and didn't start another game all season. Relegated to the end of the bench, nobody was really sure what the future held for Pick. His attempt to be the next Todd Reesing fell short, so he took the Kerry Meier route. Meier — now a receiver for the Atlanta Falcons — lost the quarterback battle to Reesing in 2007 and switched to wide receiver shortly after, eventually becoming the school's all-time receptions leader. The comparisons between Pick and Meier are common. "I actually kind of like it," Pick said of the comparisons. "It makes me more competitive. Not with the receivers out here, but knowing what he's done and trying to be as good as him and hopefully be as successful as he is." It wasn't a seamless transition to receiver, though. Pick admitted he wasn't in love with the idea at first. Coach Gill gave him a few days to think about it, and Pick accepted the challenge. His initial skepticism about the switch ended some time in the off-season while working with quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham. The quarterbacks would throw it his way and Pick would make plays. Things seemed to click. "In the winter season me and Jordan and Quinn had a lot of work," he said. "A lot of timing with routes and stuff, so I think the hard work and my athletic ability are transferring to receiver." Kerry Meier made a living at picking up tough third down conversions. He could find the hole in the defense and park there, seemingly knowing what the quarterback was thinking at all times. Pick isn't sure what his role will be as receiver. He's flexible, though. "I don't like put a stamp on my style of play right now," he said. "If we need a possession receiver on third down I'd like to be that guy to go to. If we need a big play to happen in a game to get us out of a slump or something, I'd like to be that guy too." - Edited by Brittany Nelson SOFTBALL Offense regains strength in doubleheader STATESMERE Kansas defeated Wichita State on Wedensday Junior outfielder Liz Kocon bats at Wilkins Stadium in Wichita on Wednesday afternoon. The Kansas Jaywhacks defeated the Wichita State Shockers 11-3 in game one of a doubleheader. Howard Ting/KANSAN BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com The softball team's offense returned to its powerful and effective playing style in Wednesday evening's doubleheader against Wichita State, leaving with two victories, 11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game. The non-conference evening provided ample opportunity for the Jayhawks to keep their NCAA Regional hopes alive and the strong offensive play was evidence of their will to fight for their regional bid. The softball team broke the single season home run record of 54 home runs held by the 2005 team. The 5 home runs scored during the doubleheader brought the season total to 59. Junior outfielder Liz Kocon hammered a 3-run homer out of the park in the third inning after hitting the record-breaking home run in the second inning of game one. "It wasn't just me. It was everybody," Kocon said. "We have just been hitting the ball really well this year." Sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery also tallied two home runs in game one and junior infielder Marissa Ingle hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning of the first game. Ingle also had an RBI double added to her record in the fourth inning of the first game, setting the score at 8-1 in Kansas' favor. The Jayhawk defense kept the Shocker batters out of scoring position. In the bottom of the fifth, the Jayhawks were looking for their final two outs when a hit gave them an out by a catch. The final out came from a chase down between third base and home plate. Senior catcher Brittany Hile cornered the runner near third base and made a quick toss to Ingle, who tagged out the runner. In game two, the Jayhawks got off to a slow start, allowing the Shockers to score three runs through the first three innings. In the bottom of the third, after two allowed runs, the coaching staff changed from freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez in the circle to sophomore Alex Jones. "I think Alex is just a bull dog," coach Megan Smith said. "When she is out there you are confident that she is going to go right at the hitter." Jones gave the offense a chance to score six runs through the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. 1 The fifth inning was the most productive for the Jayhawks with four scored runs. Three base hits in a row combined with a string of walks and a hit from Ingle resulted in the four runs. The defensive strength continued in the second game with multiple double plays, including one to end the game. The batter hit the ball to Montgomery, who snapped the ball to a waiting freshman infielder Ashley Newman at second base for an out. Newman then threw down to freshman infielder Laura Vickers at first for the double play and the end of the double header. "We work really hard at practice," Montgomery said. "Coach just hammers fundamentals and working really hard and it is really nice to see us all come together." Edited by Helen Mubarak COMMENTARY Focus on the players not on the scoreboard A lot has changed in five months. Many members of the 2011 recruiting class arrived on campus in January to participate in spring drills. Prominent players like Kale Pick and Bradley McDougall have settled in at new positions. Pick transitioned from quarterback to wide PRESIDENT and the annual spring game set for Saturday afternoon, fans will get a unique opportunity to see exactly what the Kansas football team has been working on since last November's season finale against Missouri. BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com With off-season practices winding down and the annual receiver and Mcdougald is now a safety, after beginng last season as a wide receiver. MICHAEL KATYOS Gill Perhaps most importantly, the players and coaches now have a full year of experience with coach Turner Gill's system. Pick YOUNG MCCORMICK The transition from Mangino to Gill seemed rocky at best, and the results oftentimes showed that on the field last fall. Fans are eager to get that taste McDougald CITY OF WASHINGTON out of their mouths this Saturday at 1 p.m. However, that probably won't be the case. Spring games are an interesting bunch. They can't be judged the way normal games are judged, for obvious reasons. Take this for example: If Jordan Webb comes out and throws for four touchdowns, was he playing great or was the defense just plain bad? If Keeston Terry gets a couple of interceptions, was he playing great or were the quarterbacks underperforming? It's a tough question, and one that won't be answered by looking at the scoreboard at the end of the scrimmage. However, there are ways to gauge how the players are doing. Are Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham hitting their receivers in stride? Are the running backs seeing the holes created by the offensive line and getting through them quickly? Also, check to see if both teams are getting plays off on time, or actually getting the play into the huddle on time. The Jayhawks struggled in both areas at different points in 2010. Those are the types of things fans need to look for on Saturday: individual nuances that are crucial to winning football games. Everything else will be hard to decipher until McNeese State comes to Lawrence on Sept. 3. 1 Edited by Jacque Weber LIFE.

A junior in architecture, Kerwin hoped to bend the limits of time, or at least of her own body, to meet a project deadline. The patches kept her awake for 78 hours straight. --- --- Lizzy Alonzi, a junior in computer science, spent about 30 hours each week on homework for just one programming class. Grueling late nights spent staring at screens in Eaton Hall's computer lab wore down her mental and emotional health every week. "It's too much," said Alonzi. "It's brutal." Steven Heger had been dating Erin Brown for six years when he began building Formula-style cars for Jayhawk Motorsports, the University's automotive racing team and capstone project for mechanical engineering seniors. He works 12 hours a day on the car, Monday through Friday, leaving little time for Erin, now his fiancee. "Erin says I love the car more than her," Heger said. Here and at other universities across the country, time-intensive programs require students to work 50- to 100-hour weeks preparing for careers where such commitments are either compensated or illegal. Along the way, students must choose daily between their professional futures and their own health. Often, they endanger both. "I started hallucinating," Kerwin said of her 78 hours without sleep. "It was before a review, where you take everything you completed before a project — site plans, floor plans and so on. Those are the times you get little sleep in studio." Studio, the class and classroom where design models are built plays a demanding role in the world of architecture students The patches Kerwin used were prescribed to her as an ADHD medication. Its makers recommend one per day for nine hours. She applied a fresh patch every eight hours, for three days. That semester, Kerwin worked at studio most nights from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m., or "around eight hours a night, five days a week." That's 40 hours — for most, a full workweek.

On rough weeks, Kerwin would pull two "all nighters," working straight through until morning. That's 12 more. Adding it up, she often worked 65 hours per week, all for one class. If Kerwin opted to attend her non-studio classes instead of squeezing in a nap, that number rose to 74 hours. But when you work 74 hours every week, something has to give. With little time to cook healthy meals, she ate mostly junk food, preferably Cheez-Its. She rarely exercised or maintained friendships with students outside of studio. She drank so many Rockstar energy drinks to stay up one semester that, as a joke, she began pinning them on her studio's wall. There were more than 100 cans in all. The high caffeine in energy drinks causes dehydration, and dehydration causes kidney stones, which Kerwin developed in following months.

The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Wichita State Shockers 11-3 in game one of a doubleheader. Howard Ting/KANSAN Kansas defeated Wichita State on Wedensday BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com The softball team's offense returned to its powerful and effective playing style in Wednesday evening's doubleheader against Wichita State, leaving with two victories, 11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game. The non-conference evening provided ample opportunity for the Jayhawks to keep their NCAA Regional hopes alive and the strong offensive play was evidence of their will to fight for their regional bid. The softball team broke the single season home run record of 54 home runs held by the 2005 team. The 5 home runs scored during the doubleheader brought the season total to 59. Junior outfielder Liz Kocon hammered a 3-run homer out of the park in the third inning after hitting the record-breaking home run in the second inning of game one. "It wasn't just me. It was everybody," Kocon said. "We have just been hitting the ball really well this year." Sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery also tallied two home runs in game one and junior infielder Marissa Ingle hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning of the first game. Ingle also had an RBI double added to her record in the fourth inning of the first game, setting the score at 8-1 in Kansas' favor. The Jayhawk defense kept the Shocker batters out of scoring position. In the bottom of the fifth, the Jayhawks were looking for their final two outs when a hit gave them an out by a catch. The final out came from a chase down between third base and home plate. Senior catcher Brittany Hile cornered the runner near third base and made a quick toss to Ingle, who tagged out the runner. Senior Allie Clark pitched the entirety of the first contest. She allowed 6 hits and 3 runs, and struck out three batters. In game two, the Jayhawks got off to a slow start, allowing the Shockers to score three runs through the first three innings. In "I think Alex is just a bull dog," coach Megan Smith said. "When she is out there you are confident that she is going to go right at the hitter." the bottom of the third, after two allowed runs, the coaching staff changed from freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez in the circle to sophomore Alex Jones. Jones gave the offense a chance to score six runs through the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The fifth inning was the most productive for the Jayhawks with four scored runs. Three base hits in a row combined with a string of walks and a hit from Ingle resulted in the four runs. The defensive strength continued in the second game with multiple double plays, including one to end the game. The batter hit the ball to Montgomery, who snapped the ball to a waiting freshman infielder Ashley Newman at second base for an out. Newman then threw down to freshman infielder Laura Vickers at first for the double play and the end of the double header. "We work really hard at practice," Montgomery said. "Coach just hammers fundamentals and working really hard and it is really nice to see us all come together." Edited by Helen Mubarak Pick I have a full year of experience with coach Turner Gill's system. PETER E. BLANCK Take this for example: If Jordan Webb comes out and throws for four touchdowns, was he playing great or was the defense just plain bad? If Keeston Terry gets a couple of interceptions, was he playing great or were the quarterbacks underperforming? McDougald The transition from Mangino to Gill seemed rocky at best, and the results oftentimes showed that on the field last fall. Fans are eager to get that taste out of their mouths this Saturday at 1 p.m. However, that probably won't be the case. Spring games are an interesting bunch. They can't be judged the way normal games are judged, for obvious reasons. It's a tough question, and one that won't be answered by looking at the scoreboard at the end of the scrimmage. However, there are ways to gauge how the players are doing. Are Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham hitting their receivers in stride? Are the running backs seeing the holes created by the offensive line and getting through them quickly? Also, check to see if both teams are getting plays off on time, or actually getting the play into the huddle on time. The Jayhawks struggled in both areas at different points in 2010. Those are the types of things fans need to look for on Saturday: individual nuances that are crucial to winning football games.

If you were a preteen circa 2001 and watched the Disney Channel, please tell me you remember this classic ballad by Tyra Banks in the TV movie Life Size. Though "Be a Star" has never seen the success of "Friday," I argue that it should. It's never too late for a comeback, especially in the name of self-confidence and a catchy beat. During my mid-college crisis last year, I could use such a sing-along pep talk. Never mind that Tyra's character is a Barbie-like doll in human form. I didn't always want to pursue a career in journalism. Brainstorming, researching, reporting, writing, editing — the process is much harder than it looks, especially with looming deadlines. Like other stressed-out undergraduates who don't get enough sleep and forget what it's like to have a social life, I had a couple breakdowns. I wondered if I even enjoyed being a journalist anymore. What did I enjoy? Throughout this period of stress and sulking, the answer came to me easily! I enjoy movies. When you're friends with girls who would pay to see Kate Hudson's new rom-com rather than the latest achingly beautiful film playing at Liberty Hall, you may be perceived as a movie snob. That's not my intention. My friends and I have an understanding of the different types of movies we appreciate and pass no judgment; however, I've never told them I went to the theater by myself one afternoon to see a Spanish-language film. As much as I appreciate, study and critique films, why was I not a film major? I took one lower-level course as a freshman and I loved it. Who knew film noir wouldn't be such a bore? If I would have known about KU Filmworks at the time, I would have liked to learn more about filmmaking by working on hands-on projects. If you, too, are a movie buff, definitely check out Ben's story about the organization on page 8 and learn how to get involved. I did plenty of daydreaming about an alternative career path involving film school, but I didn't take any action. Instead, I continued working on my journalism assignments, and, soon enough, I felt pretty good about all the work I accomplished. One of the sources I interviewed for a final feature story told me something that gave me the encouragement I needed: "My wish for you is that you use your pen to tell the truth, wherever you see it." Thanks to that special interview, I now love what I do. And if I ever need any immediate encouragement, I can always find "be a Star" on YouTube and pretend to be as fabulous as Barbie-like Tyra Banks.

The patches kept her awake for 78 hours straight. --- --- Illustration by Kirk Whit Lizzy Alonzi, a junior in computer science, spent about 30 hours each week on homework for just one programming class.

Heger said. mechanical engineering seniors. He works 12 hours a day on the car, Monday through Friday, leaving little time for Erin, now his fiancee. Here and at other universities across the country, time-intensive programs require students to work When you work 74 hours every week, something has to give. "I started hallucinating," Kerwin said of her 78 hours without sleep. "It was before a review, where you take everything you completed before a project — site plans, floor plans and so on. Those are the times you get little sleep in studio." Studio, the class and classroom where design models are built plays a demanding role in the world of architecture students. The patches Kerwin used were prescribed to her as an ADHD medication. Its makers recommend one per day for nine hours. She applied a fresh patch every eight hours, for three days. 50- to 100-hour weeks preparing for careers where such commitments are either compensated or illegal. Along the way, students must choose daily between their professional futures and their own health. Often, they endanger both. That semester, Kerwin worked at studio most nights from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m., or "around eight hours a night, five days a week." That's 40 hours — for most, a full workweek. The actual class for Kerwin's studio met three times each week for four They learn, work, eat and often sleep there in an attempt to bring design ideas to life as scaled-down buildings. and a half hours each class.

KANSAS IN HEAT // SEX DURING MENSTRUATION // MIKE ANDERSON > Tackle the sticky world of relationships. 11111 71111 bridges bridges bridges Q. Is it OK to have sex with a woman while she's menstruating? Can I get her pregnant? A. While some might find it taboo or gross, there are no definite reasons why you can't have sex with a woman during her period. I know guys that absolutely love sleeping with women on their period, but I'm always amazed at the number of guys that say they would never do it. As long as you don't mind the sight of a little blood, both of you will be fine. Period pains and menstrual cramps can certainly hurt a woman's libido, but having an orgasm can help relieve these pains. In summary, it is perfectly OK to have sex with a willing participant while she is menstruating. While it has the chance to be a tad messy, it is still very enjoyable. As far as your second question goes, getting a woman pregnant during her period is a possibility, but the chances are slim. Normally during her period, no viable egg would be available to fertilize. However, it is possible that a woman might happen to ovulate off schedule and near the time of menstruation. It would be rare to get a woman pregnant during her period, but I'm not saying that you have my permission to go condom-free. SOFTBA A. Why do most men crave anal sex, yet cringe at the thought of penetrating a menstruating vagina? How is a dry, bacteria-ridden, fragile hole appealing? With the natural lubricant of the menstrual blood, I would argue the soft, warm, overly moist hug of a menstruating vagina is far more delightful and attractive. A few things to remember when participating in this monthly experience: 1) Remember to always use a condom if this red-hot sex is with someone other than a STI-free, monogamous partner. 2) Yes, you can make a baby during that time of the month. Stress and hormones can affect the menstrual cycle. Therefore, you can ovulate during your period. If ovulation occurs during menstruation and you have unprotected sex, you have a strong chance of getting pregnant. 3) Safeguard against unplanned pregnancies with hormonal (the pill, IUD, etc.) or non-hormonal (condoms, cervical caps, sponges, etc.) birth control. 4) If you're worried about the mess, get over it. The total amount of blood loss during menstruation is approximately two tablespoons. Be sure to place a dark towel down on the bed and make the clean up seductive. Rather than letting your guy rush to the bathroom, have a warm wash cloth ready. Slowly and gently wipe him off while he lays in post-coital satisfaction. If you enjoy sex, then enjoy sex every day of the month. // MICHELLE MACBAIN 04 28 11 4 SHEPHERD Ofiense regains strengui in doubleneader Kansas defeated Wichita State on Wedensday BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Howard Tina/KANSAN The softball team's offense returned to its powerful and effective playing style in Wednesday evening's doubleheader against Wichita State, leaving with two victories, 11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game.

Everything else will be hard to decipher until McNeese State comes to Lawrence on Sept. 3. 1 Edited by Jacque Weber CONTACT ❤ KEEP APART, STAY TOGETHER // LAURA ERDALL WHY SLEEPING SEPARATELY IS GOOD FOR SOME RELATIONSHIPS Two years later, the couple still has minor bedroom issues, but have also realized that sometimes sleeping separately is the only solution to a good night's sleep. Brittney Raybern wakes up in the middle of the night to find her boyfriend snoring loudly and hogging all the blankets, leaving her cold and annoyed. She stares wide-eyed at the ceiling tiles for a good hour before falling back asleep. In the beginning of a relationship, people enjoy the physical closeness of their partner and tend to always want to sleep next to each other, even if that means putting up with their sleeping habits. As a relationship continues, however, it's important for couples to notice if their partner is robbing them of a good night's sleep by tossing, turning, grumbling or stealing the covers. According to the National Sleep Foundation's 2005 "Sleep in America" poll, 77 percent of America's partnered adults say their partner has a sleep-related problem; the most common problem is snoring. WHY SHARE A BED? Couples often sleep next to each other because they think bed sharing is a ritual for commitment. Jeff Moran, KU associate professor of history, says that sleeping in the same bed is a wide-known tradition from the past, and sharing beds with the entire family was common. "There's a different approach to marriage and relationships these days though," Moran says. "It's intimacy between two people, and two people only, and that doesn't always have to be shown in the bedroom." If couples aren't sleeping well next to each other, it's rarely a problem if they are showing their affection in other ways. Moran suggests snuggling with each other for a little while OTHER ARRANGEMENTS: In fact, not getting enough sleep is a bigger threat to intimacy than sleeping separately. Sleeping soundly benefits people on all levels. Less sleep can make people irritable, increase their stress, and even affect their performance in the bedroom. Dennis Dailey, KU professor emeritus and sex therapist, says that severe sleep loss can have all kinds of psychological consequences. "Getting good sleep makes acting on our libido a lot more enjoyable-it's a contributor," Dailey says. People tend to believe that sexual intimacy diminishes in couples who are sleeping apart, but couples who have a strong bond can still be connected in a variety of ways, even if they are sleeping alone at night. before departing to separate bedrooms. This way people can still have that intimacy that they crave as well as having a good night's rest. "Physical closeness breeds emotional closeness; it's psychology of touch, not just sex," Moran says. It's also perfectly fine to fall asleep in the same bed, but with the agreement that if one partner's sleeping habits interrupt the other's sleep, it's OK to move to the sofa or another spare bedroom. According to the National Sleep Foundation, one in every four American couples sleeps in separate bedrooms. Couples should try to stay touchy-feely throughout the day if they know that they'll be hugging their pillow that night instead of their partner. A great way to do this is to cuddle while watching TV before bedtime, hold hands while taking a walk or steal a kiss while waiting in line at the grocery store. "Sleeping apart doesn't really lead to greater desire with couples since they are still connecting in ways like these," Dailey says. "There is the fact, though, that absence will make the heart grow founder." Because they live together, Brittney Raybern, Lawrence senior, and her boyfriend make it a point to sleep next to each other, but they also have a separate room with a bed if one of them gets annoyed by the other's nighttime habits. Photo illustration by Aaron Harris A bed apart: Sleeping apart can help a couple get a good night's rest without risking intimacy. Getting less sleep could be more harmful to a couple's intimacy. COUPLE SLEEPING POSITIONS Common sleep positions for you and your partner: THE LEG LOOP // You're both on your stomachs, sides or backs and one of you has a leg draped over the other's leg. THE SPOON // You're both on your sides, touching and facing the same direction. THE BOOTY BOND // You're on your sides facing away from each other but touching butto-butt. THE REGAL POSE // He sprawls king-like on his back while she coies up to him with her head positioned directly on his chest. O "We sleep with completely different blankets because there's no way that I'll be covered throughout the night if we don't," Raybern says. Also, the couple doesn't feel the need to go to bed at the exact same time together. "He goes to bed early and I'm a definite night owl, so I usually just crawl into bed later on while he's fast asleep." Raybern says. People who do sleep apart should indulge themselves in romantic rituals as often as they can. "All couples, whether they sleep in the same bed or not, should make it a point to have sex regularly." Moran says. "How often this should happen is a matter of negotiation," Moran says. Sleeping separately isn't for everyone, especially if you and your partner are amazingly compatible while you are asleep. However, if there is incompatibility and you've tried everything to cure the situation, then maybe you would want to think of sleeping in separate beds. Besides, the most important aspect here is your health and you can't have good health without good sleep.

Cleaning earbuds on a regular basis is important. earbuds, bacteria from the earpiece could transfer from one person's ear to the other's. The study also found that people who shared earbuds often had harmful bacteria on their ear swabs 92 percent of the time, compared with 8 percent among the less-frequent sharers. These harmful bacteria can cause an infection of the outer ear, says Cory Portnuff, an audiologist at the University of Colorado. Typically, these are skin infections, so they don't do permanent damage; however, some infections can cause temporary hearing loss, pain in the ears and a lot of discomfort. Sometimes they can even leave scarring in the ear canal or on the eardrum, says Portnuff. VERDICT: Bad for you. Cleaning earbuds regularly is important. Portnuff recommends using a hospital grade disinfectant, but an alcohol wipe will do.

Junior outfielder Liz Kocon hammered a 3-run homer out of the park in the third inning after hitting the record-breaking home run in the second inning of game one. Sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery also tallied two home runs in game one and junior infielder Marissa Ingle hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning of the first game.

In the bottom of the third, after two allowed runs, the coaching staff changed from freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez in the circle to sophomore Alex Jones. "I think Alex is just a bull dog," coach Megan Smith said. "When she is out there you are confident that she is going to go right at the hitter." Jones gave the offense a chance to score six runs through the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The fifth inning was the most productive for the Jayhawks with four scored runs. Three base hits in a row combined with a string of walks and a hit from Ingle resulted in the four runs. — Edited by Helen Mubarak The defensive strength continued in the second game with multiple double plays, including one to end the game.

Take this for example: If Jordan Webb comes out and throws for four touchdowns, was he playing great or was the defense just plain bad? If Keeston Terry gets a couple of interceptions, was he playing great or were the quarterbacks underperforming? It's a tough question, and one that won't be answered by looking at the scoreboard at the end of the scrimmage. However, there are ways to gauge how the players are doing. Are Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham hitting their receivers in stride? Are the running backs seeing the holes created by the offensive line and getting through them quickly?

The group, which has open membership, provides students with the equipment and training necessary to make their own films and learn about making it in the competitive filmmaking world. The group's current film — a project about a writer with family conflicts who records his thoughts on tape — is slated to be over a half-hour long and has the membership excited; it's sure to join Filmworks' series of classics. MIDWEST FILM SCHOOL "We want KU to be the Midwest film school," Kevin Willmott, associate professor of film, Photo Illustration by Travis Vance says. "I think we can be that." Willmott has directed critically acclaimed films that include The Only Good Indian, a film about a manhunt for an escaped Native American student, and C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America, a mockumentary theorizing the course of history if the South had won the Civil War. In the film department, Willmott encourages young filmmakers to pursue their dreams, both in and out of the classroom, while lending his support to Filmsworks. "Nationally, student filmmaking is a growing thing." Willmott says. "Many students get involved outside of the classroom with programs like KU Filmworks. In places like that, they get the chance to hit the ground running."

We've had a group of 10-year-olds make a film for fun over the weekend and turn in an incredible, creative film." Now in its sixth year, the Wild West Film Fest has become a fixture in Lawrence and its filmmaking scene. It has since branched off into a special horror division, the October Horror Wild West, and continues to grow larger every year, with more and more applicants. Josh Nathan, Lawrence senior, acted in one of this year's placing films, *Pitches*, about a group of student filmmakers coming up with ideas for movies, which was also a Filmworks production. He says that Filmworks is a great way for aspiring student filmmakers in the film major to start making movies early. "In the department, you don't really get to do work until you're a junior or senior; there's a lot of prerequisites," Nathan says. "Filmworks lets freshmen or sophomores get involved." LOST IN TRANSLATION The Wild West Film Fest isn't the only festival in town anymore — it now shares the stage with the KU-endorsed International Film Fest. Now in its third year, the University-sponsored three-day festival exhibits a series of foreign films running in the Guanajuato Film Festival, a festival held in Guanajuato Capital, Mexico, since 1997, and hosts films from such diverse locales as Latin America, Sweden, France and the United States. The festival also features a segment of student films, with prizes going to the top three student-created films of the year. Ranging from horror to documentary, the winning films must stand out from a sea of competent, qualified student admissions. BREAKING IN For now, though, Filmworks remains the home for many who need a way to get a project off the ground in Lawrence, giving would-be filmmakers the chance to bring their visions to life. "It's something I've always wanted to do, and Filmworks gave me that opportunity," Alex Backus says. If the measure of a program's success is how many of its graduates are able to find employment in the field, then KU's film department and Filmworks are resounding successes. Kevin Willmott emphasizes the program's capability to prepare students for careers in the real world. "We're trying to offer our students the best opportunities," he says. He says many of the film program graduates go on to join the film industry in California, specifically around Los Angeles, where much of the American film industry is centered. Going to school for making movies sounds like a blast, but it's not as simple as picking up a camera and getting started. Production classes are only open to juniors and seniors, says Matt Jacobson, associate professor of film production. However, the following classes are available for freshmen and sophomores: Josh Nathan has participated in internships in California as a result of his activity with the filmmaking opportunities at KU. "I've been lucky enough to work for a couple of production companies during summers in Los Angeles," Nathan says. "It was a great experience, and I hope to be able to move back out there again." >> FMS 200: Film and Media Aesthetics An introduction to filmmaking theories and the use of concepts like color, sound and editing.

"I think Alex is just a bull dog," coach Megan Smith said. "When she is out there you are confident that she is going to go right at the hitter." Jones gave the offense a chance to score six runs through the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The fifth inning was the most productive for the Jayhawks with four scored runs. Three base hits in a row combined with a string of walks and a hit from Ingle resulted in the four runs. The defensive strength continued in the second game with multiple double plays, including one to end the game. The batter hit the ball to Montgomery, who snapped the ball to a waiting freshman infielder Ashley Newman at second base for an out.

Edited by Jacque Weber --- PLAY CHASING DANGER AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS FOLLOW STORMS ACROSS TORNADO ALLEY // LINDSEY DEITER As I sit on the patio at Free State Brewing Co., watching the rain fall, a bolt of lightening crawls across the sky like a vein. All heads snap up, eyes wide. These storms, though familiar, never cease to enthrall people with their natural beauty and power. Greg Loving, McPherson junior, knows this feeling of reverence well. He began chasing storms in high school with a "ragtag group of friends" who had a fascination with thunderstorms. Loving and his crew took advantage of the thunderstorm activity that western Kansas offers, setting out with just a camera, a scanner and a thirst to learn more about weather Some chasers are brash thrill seekers, a demographic that "gives professionals, who chase for legitimate reasons, a bad name" by putting themselves and others in fruitless danger, says Leo Fabi, a spokesperson for the National Association of Storm Chasers And Spotters. But as amateurs chasing for knowledge and kicks, Loving and his friends respect severe weather's destructive power, always keeping themselves at a safe distance. During one chase in May 2007, they were caught between following a developing storm north into Nebraska, or heading south to track another. They went north, only to be disappointed by a "bust" — little-to-no storm activity. Their disappointment was short-lived; they soon learned this thunderstorm birthed an EF5 tornado, the Enhanced Fujita Scale's "total destruction" category for tornadic activity. It was this storm that leveled the small town of Greensburg, killing 12 people. Loving says they weren't equipped to be near such a dangerous storm. "We were amateur, spectator stormchasers," Loving says. "Those are for professionals." The central plains region is a prime environment for severe weather activity thanks to the cool, dry air that comes west from the Rocky Mountains and the warm, moist air that rises from the Gulf of Mexico, says Scott Blair, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Topeka. Storms breed easily when the two different airs collide. Adam Smith, Kansas City, Kan., junior, began storm chasing as a hobbyist but is bridging the gap between amateur and professional. Smith, an atmospheric science major, now chases storms with a group of KU meteorology students who call themselves the Fog Chasers. The group has already seen serious weather this year. They were pursuing a storm near Winterset, Iowa, tracking a cell that looked too small to suggest any action. But they kept at it, driving 70 mph directly into quarter-sized hail, knowing at any moment one of the stones could break the car's windshield. As they got directly under the storm, they climbed out of the car. "We could feel the storm's energy as it approached us," Smith says. "All of a sudden, we felt the storm's updraft lift off the ground. Our jackets pulled up over our heads, and we got hit with this wall of water. It was wild." Seeing a tornado is the goal for most storm-chasers, but some storms can be just as fulfilling. For Blair, the Topeka meteorologist, who has been chasing storms for 14 years and has seen more than 200 tornadoes in 16 states, each storm is a "snowflake; no two are exactly the same." Blair chases to gather scientific information. "There's almost a spiritual-type connection that you get when you see the open prairie and bright green grass, then all of a sudden you see this 50,000-foot-tall thing developing, evolving, moving, and all these vivid colors," he says. "That draws me back time after time." Adam Smith would love to become a professional storm chaser, but says few organizations have the resources to have them on staff. "I absolutely would storm chase professionally if I had the opportunity, but it's just not on my radar." "Oh man," he says. "What a bad pun." THE RAINSTORM - Following the clouds Both photographs were taken near Pond Creek, Okla., by Adam Smith, who was chasing storm cells with his group the Fog Chasers. The top photograph, as Smith explains, was taken on the side of the road 30 minutes northeast of Pond Creek as they watched a storm cell begin to form. The bottom photograph was taken before a chase. The clouds eventually formed a high-precipitation super cell that Adams says "was a great way to start off the chasing season." Photos by Adam Smith Leo Fabi is a spokesman for the National Association of Storm Chasers and Spotters (NASCAS), a public information office for professional chasing. Fabi says it's important to differentiate between the types of chasers — namely, the legitimate professionals and those who chase for kicks. TYPES OF CHASERS SPOTTERS // A spotter's primary function is to report critical weather information, on a live basis, to the National Weather Service. They do not follow storms, but report severe weather when it occurs locally. HOBBYISTS // Those who chase storms for personal enjoyment and adventure, as well as to learn more about severe weather. This includes the inexperienced thrill-seekers, and those who are after shocking video footage. "Stormchasing isn't about Youtube videos," Fabi says. N PROFESSIONALS // These are the researchers, scientists, meteorologists and people with media or news stations who follow all aspects of severe weather, including flooding, blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, hail and strong winds. 13 N 20147 1. 画直线段长7厘米 spaced across her lower back, the fuzzy borders of residue and lint that days-old Band-Aids leave after removal.

(NINJA TUNE) wagon Christ is just one of the many monikers of the well respected DJ and producer Luke Vibert. Although Wagon Christ is often referred to as his most popular name, Vibert has also released music under the names Plug, Kerrier District, Spac Hand Luke and Ace of Clubs, among others. Vibert has released records on most of the biggest electronic labels in the industry, including Warp, Ninja Tune, Rephlex and Planet Mu, and has been featured on compilations by many others. Wagon Christ has been releasing albums since the early '90s, and his newest album Toomorrow maintains the trip-hop and acid vibes of his previous releases, but he now seems more polished in his mixing skills, and obviously much more modern. At first, this record depressed me a little without its slightly awkward and spacier sound. But my insatiable desire for the record's fluid grooves, super sweet and slick sampling all over the place, and the unbelievable range of sounds that Luke Vibert can concoct sucked me back into it. One major production success comes from the track "Harmoney," which seamlessly mixes funk bass lines, hip-hop and soul-backing vocals, all while being dipped in Vibert's super delicious melting pot of sounds. Another track off the album called "Accordian McShane" has one of the most chilled-out and sickest beats on the entire album, which makes it a solid working or working-out track. One really upbeat song to check out from the album is "Manalyze This!" The song highlights the bubbly king of Acid music, the Roland Tr-303 synthesizer and a relentless Drum and Bass style drum beat. If you are a fan of Aphex Twin, Ceephax Acid Crew, dancing, trip-hop and being interesting, or you simply want a classy introduction to electronic music, do not miss Wagon Christ's newest album, Toomorrow. ★ ★ ★ // ZACH MARSH ABE&JAKE'S EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING Thursday: Ladies Night Ladies in free before 10PM DOORS OPEN AT 9PM 04 14 28 11 Junior outfielder Liz Kocon bats at Wilkins Stadium in Wichita on Wednesday afternoon.

HARRIS McDougald out of their mouths this Saturday at 1 p.m. However, that probably won't be the case. Spring games are an interesting bunch. They can't be judged the way normal games are judged, for obvious reasons. Take this for example: If Jordan Webb comes out and throws for four touchdowns, was he playing great or was the defense just plain bad? If Keeston Terry gets a couple of interceptions, was he playing great or were the quarterbacks underperforming? It's a tough question, and one that won't be answered by looking at the scoreboard at the end of the scrimmage. However, there are ways to gauge how the players are doing. Are Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham hitting their receivers in stride? Are the running backs seeing the holes created by the offensive line and getting through them quickly? Also, check to see if both teams are getting plays off on time, or actually getting the play into the huddle on time. The Jayhawks struggled in both areas at different points in 2010. Those are the types of things fans need to look for on Saturday: individual nuances that are crucial to winning football games. Everything else will be hard to decipher until McNeese State comes to Lawrence on Sept. 3. 7 — caited by Jacque Weber --- SPEAK 1 SCARRED FOR LIFE // GABRIELLE SCHOCK DEALING WITH AN ILLNESS GIVES ONE JAYPLAY WRITER A NEW PERSPECTIVE I don't notice the scar on the inside of my left forearm very often. There's really not much of a scar to look at anyway, more like a slight puckering of skin and a few freckles that form a tiny constellation down my arm. However, there are times when I'm slipping on my watch, driving down the highway or, like right now, typing on my computer that I can't help but look down at my arm and notice the scar. What follows is a strange blur of emotions, ranging from unbearably sad to a peaceful numbness. But no matter what emotions pass over me, I always end up smiling because I know how lucky I am. The scar I'm so thankful for is a result of abnormal blood clotting, a side effect of Ana María Sánchez Photo Illustration by Mike Gunnoe Photo Illustration by Mike Gunnoe Lucky reminder: Gabrielle Schock still deals with the memories of contracting meningitis, the disease that nearly took her life. Though the scar on her arm brings up mixed emotions, she still feels lucky. bacterial meningitis, a rare disease that damages the tissue surrounding your brain. I contracted the disease while on a family vacation in Florida the summer before my senior year of high school. Doctors aren't sure how I caught the disease, though it's usually transferred through touch. Within hours I went from being a happy and healthy teenager on the beach to barely having the strength to stand. We flew home to Wichita immediately. When our plane finally landed, I was almost unconscious and blood clots were forming underneath my skin, turning the color of my arms and legs into an unnatural shade of purple. What happened next is nearly impossible to say without seeming nonchalant, but that's how I feel about it; I was taken to the hospital, diagnosed with meningitis (thanks to the clots on my arms) and promptly placed into a drug-induced coma. People ask me what the hardest part of the whole situation was, but it's not a simple answer. Yes, it was hard having my blood drawn every hour. Yes, it was hard going from running miles on end to having to learn how to walk again because my body had become so weak. It was even harder watching my mom cry as I wobbled down the hallway while learning to walk. Whew, that's a lot to squeeze into one sentence. I was in a coma for six days while my body waged war on itself. When I finally woke up, I had no recollection of anything that had happened that entire summer. It's an odd sensation to be told so many things about yourself by other people; "Do you know how lucky you are to be alive? Do you understand the incredible things your body has been through these past few days?" I was asked questions like these constantly during my two-week hospital stay. The hardest part has been dealing emotionally with what happened to me. Since getting sick, each day has felt slightly different. Some days are overwhelmingly sad. My mind wanders towards really horrific thoughts; what would my family have been like if I had died? Would people, over time, forget about me? But other days, I feel amazing and thankful, like the disease never happened to me. I spent my senior year of high school recovering, all while surrounded by people who kept telling me how wonderful and lucky I was. It's funny, when you're told repeatedly that everything is going to be OK, you start to believe it. But by the time I arrived at KU, a year after being diagnosed, I wanted to deal with the emotions alone. I wish I could say that it was an overnight transformation, and that I spent one sad, tearful night feeling sorry for myself and thinking how bad my life could have ended up, only to wake up the next day ready to conquer the world. But I didn't. I worked hard to make my life as normal as possible. I was having a great time and enjoying the freedom of college, but there were moments then, like the ones that I have now, when I would look down at the scar on my arm and become distraught. I began placing pressure on myself to squeeze the life out of every moment; I had come so incredibly close to dying, I couldn't stand to not live fearlessly or perform to the best of my abilities. I felt like I had been given a second chance and I couldn't waste it by not being liked by everyone or a straight-A student. I began to see that I would forever be caught in a tug-of-war between feeling motivated by my second chance, but also like an outsider because I had experienced something so different than everyone else. My dad sometimes tells me that I'm not the same person I was before getting sick, and I think about that sometimes when I look at my scar. Hearing "you're not the same person anymore" can sound harsh, but he means well; he always says that I'm different in the way I carry myself, that I'm more conscious of my actions and ambitions. A doctor once asked me if I had considered plastic surgery to fix the scar on my arm. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I'm sure the look on my face implied a big, fat "hell no." Because it's true, we all need little reminders — whether they're scars, photographs or memories — to keep us in check and remind us how lucky we are. 15 04 28 11 AN --- spaced across her lower back, the fuzzy borders of residue and lint that days-old Band-Aids leave after removal.

The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Wichita State Shockers 11-3 in game one of a doubleheader. Howard Ting/KANSAS Otiense regains strength in doubleheader MISSISSAUGA Kansas defeated Wichita State on Wedensday BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com The softball team's offense returned to its powerful and effective playing style in Wednesday evening's doubleheader against Wichita State, leaving with two victories, 11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game. The non-conference evening provided ample opportunity for the Jayhawks to keep their NCAA Regional hopes alive and the strong offensive play was evidence of their will to fight for their regional bid. The softball team broke the single season home run record of 54 home runs held by the 2005 team. The 5 home runs scored during the doubleheader brought the season total to 59. Junior outfielder Liz Kocon hammered a 3-run homer out of the park in the third inning after hitting the record-breaking home run in the second inning of game one. Sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery also tallied two home runs in game one and junior infielder Marissa Ingle hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning of the first game. Ingle also had an RBI double added to her record in the fourth inning of the first game, setting the score at 8-1 in Kansas' favor. "It wasn't just me. It was everybody," Kocon said. "We have just been hitting the ball really well this year." The Jayhawk defense kept the Shocker batters out of scoring position. In the bottom of the fifth, the Jayhawks were looking for their final two outs when a hit gave them an out by a catch. The final out came from a chase down between third base and home plate.

That figure, which is also used by the Federal Highway Administration, is part of the calculations that the department uses to determine where and when to make safety improvements on Kansas highways. But some Douglas County residents ask that the numbers be looked at again. K-10, a highway many commuters travel from Johnson County to KU Campus, is absent of crossover cables. The April 16 accident killed two Eudora residents, including a 5-year-old boy, and injured three Following the April 16 head-on collision on Kansas Highway 10 east of Eudora, Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson wants to install guard cables on the median along K-10. Guard cables prevent cars on the median from accidentally sliding over to the opposite lane. others when a driver crossed the median and faced oncoming traffic. KDOT's study of Kansas highways did not select K-10 for guard cables, but identified locations in Topeka and Wichita, based on such factors as traffic volume and accident rates. Accidents on K-10 between Lawrence and Interstate 435 killed 19 people between 2000 and 2010. Of those, seven were killed because a vehicle crossed the median. the addition of guard cables. He said he had also reached out to law enforcement in both Douglas and Johnson counties. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Hopson said accidents caused by vehicles crossing the median were not just a problem for Eudora, but for every community along K-10. KDOT estimated that installing guard cables would cost at least $100,000 per mile. More than 23 states, including Missouri, use them along at least 2,500 miles of highway nationwide. The Missouri Department of Transportation credited them with reducing accident fatalities because they can prevent even large vehicles from crossing medians. Days after the accident, Hopson wrote to Gov. Sam Brownback and city governments along the state highway, asking them to support "All of us are in this, regardless of zip code." Hopson said. In a letter on April22, Brownback asked KDOT to review the question of guard cables on K-10. He also instructed the department to begin the process of widening the shoulders and adding rumble strips. The governor said that while those other measures may not prevent crossover accidents, they were important and already in place in Johnson County. Mayor Aron Cromwell said Lawrence had a clear interest in safety on K-10 because of the large number of people commuting along the highway for work and school. Cromwell, a University alumnus, grew up in Overland Park. "For many KU students, it's their first highway driving experience," he said. "Obviously, we want to do whatever we can to help keep them safe." Thousands of people in Eudora and surrounding communities have joined a Facebook page in support of the effort to install guard cables and those affected by the April 16 accident. Hopson invited city officials from all affected communities to attend a meeting on K-10 safety measures at the Eudora Recreation Center on May 12.

University of Kansas students dropped off enough expired medication to fill three large boxes during a four hour collection on Wescoe Beach on Thursday. This year marks the second annual DEA Take Back Initiative event, but the first that local organizers decided to add a campus location to the drop off sites. Pharmacist-in-charge Cathy Thrasher said they added a campus event in hopes that students would pick through their unused medications before packing to leave campus for the summer. "The fact that this many people showed up and the fact that it helps them clean out their medicine cabinets, I'm happy with that." Thrasher said. "I'm looking forward to doing it again." When the boxes become full, the police seal them with evidence tape and give them to the DEA for proper disposal, which usually means incineration. In addition to yesterday's campus collection, a community-wide event will take place this weekend. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.the KU Public Safety Office and Lawrence police will collect medications, even offering a drive-and-drop option. — Laura Nightengale The collection site at 11th and Massachusetts streets is one of more than 5,000 throughout America as part of the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day this Saturday, April 30.

While caffine is the drug of choice for most students low on sleep and time, many resort to more potent options, such as prescription drugs and marijuana. 213 Studio "I wouldn't be in architecture if I didn't enjoy it," she said. "It's exciting and I love it, and that's what keeps me here. It's just that it's an abusive environment." As generations pass through these programs, traditions are established and expectations are imposed on those who follow. The result: Academic cultures where overwork is normal and the most talented, driven and dedicated students are often most at risk. Time is not on their side. At the height of England's Industrial Revolution, working-class men, women and children regularly worked between 60 and 85 hours each week in unhealthy conditions with little pay. In 1817, a labor reformer named Robert Owen championed the radical notion of an eight-hour workday, under the slogan "Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest." Factory owners ridiculed the concept, but it took root. America's eight-hour movement bloomed in 1938 when Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act that established the now-standard 40-hour workweek as well as overtime pay. Over more than a century, developed countries across the world realized healthy and sane societies need balance, and productivity requires rest. --street — the friends, the partying — couldn't seem farther away. Yet some 70 years later, some college programs preserve a bubble in American society where overwork is not only tolerated, but enabled, nurtured and praised. During orientation meetings, many U.S. universities tell students that for each hour spent in class they should expect to spend two to three hours outside of class studying or finishing homework. A University of Central Arkansas Web page put it this way: "According to experts, the rule of thumb is for every one hour in class, students should spend approximately two hours outside of class studying and doing homework. We encourage students to view their academics as a full-time job. If they spend 15 hours a week in class, they need to spend approximately 25 to 30 hours outside of class doing homework, making it a 40 to 45 hour work-week." The KU School of Engineering suggests two to three hours. An accounting program at Auburn University recommends three to four. "I don't know where it originates," Barbara Barnett, associate dean of the School of Journalism, said of the rule. "But I was told the same thing when I was in college, so it's been around for a while." Belushi-type frat boy who does keg stands and crashes on couches of stacked pizza boxes. Indeed, the 2010 National Survey of Student Engagement reports that only nine percent of seniors surveyed at major research universities study more than 30 hours per week. But what the survey doesn't explore are "You reach a breaking point, physically. Everyone seems to fall apart." Before cooking a ham, a woman always cut off the end and threw it away. When her husband asked her why, she said her mother did it that way. When the woman asked her mother about it, the mother said she cut off the end because her mother always did it. When the Barnett explained the ratio's logic, or lack of logic, with a story. NICK FRATTA A junior in architecture Leading out the back door of Marvin Hall, a concrete pathway winds down the hill to a tunnel beneath Naismith Drive. On the other side is Eaton Hall, where silent students sit at long rows of computers, typing. They're com- the vast differences between expectations of liberal arts students and those in professional programs. A liberal arts degree equips students with critical thinking skills valued in a variety of jobs, but lacks a professional school's narrow focus on job skills. While an English major may not study two or three hours for every hour of class, an engineer likely will. Denise Stone, a professor in visual art education, agrees. "I've never known a faculty member who let a ratio keep them from assigning an amount of work," she said. Stone noted that heavier course loads in professional programs reflect pressures to meet stringent accreditation standards and the requisites of a job. --- On a Saturday at midnight, the KU campus is a dichotomy. Two groups of students counterbalance Jayhawk Boulevard, the winding road that is the campus main drag. Near its eastern end, partying masses spill out of The Wheel and puter science majors writing code, training to be software designers and web developers. David Jones, a junior, built a music program from scratch that lets users make original compositions. Lizzie Alonzi designed inventory software for hospitals. She stayed up two days straight creating it. The trick with coding is that it tolerates no mistakes. You have to get it just right, even if that means working Saturdays past midnight. A stone's throw behind Eaton is Learned Hall, the oldest engineering building, where Jayhawk Motorsports is housed. There are fewer computers here, more grease and machinery. On any given night, Tim Moran, a senior in mechanical engineering, is here, working on the car's powertrain. Despite enrolling in just nine credit hours to allow for the class' time commitment, he spent the entire night in the shop three times this week, each night mustering a few hours of sleep on a ratty, worn couch near the back. When Moran works until 3 a.m., but has to be on campus at 8 a.m., the drive back to Eudora seems pointless. when I can stay here?" he said. "If I go three or four days without sleep, I'll crash for eight hours, which is oversleeping." Cameron Bryant, another student on the project, unwraps a sandwich from Jimmy John's as Robert Sorem, associate dean of engineering and the sponsor of Javah Motor sports, approaches. "Hey, go wash your hands before you eat that sandwich," Sorem says. "Nah, it's good for your immune system," jokes another student. "Yeah." Bryant says, smiling, "We never get sick." However, Bryant remembers the semester when Red Bull sponsored the team, donating large quantities of energy drinks to the shop. Bryant drank three cans each day to stay awake during long days at the shop. This lasted until the day a tightening knot in his stomach buckled him over and he was rushed to the hospital. When the doctor blamed too much Red Bull and too little sleep, he put Bryant on a strict diet, something inconvenient to shop life. "Will this kill me if I don't follow it?" Bryant asked. "OK," replied Bryant. He chose pain. "No," the doctor said, "you'll just live in pain." "Why waste 30 minutes of sleep Sorem said that the health effects of long hours, poor diets and high stress aren't discussed much in the shop. He trusts students to know their own limits and manage time accordingly. Steven Heger leans over, swiftly cleaning barrels of metallic stripping out of a machine. He pauses for a rare moment, scratching his light-red beard. "Certainly the expectation is two to three hours at KU for every credit hour you enroll," he said, citing the oft-cited ratio. "Ten to 12 hours is expected, but it's more than that. Some spend 90 hours easy, others 20. What matters is you commit up front." A dry-erase board above Heger features feminine handwriting that reads: "Erin Brown is the best thing that ever happened to me." He proposed to Brown, a senior and member of The Kansan's editorial board, last December, on their seventh anniversary as a couple. Both from Wichita, they met as dance partners in a high school choir. Heger's passion used to be baseball. He played as a freshman at a small college, but an injury ended baseball and led to a transfer to the University, where Brown had enrolled in journalism. Heger enrolled in the School of Engineering, and for those first years they were inseparable. "We saw each other every day, ate at the dining hall every night together. It was never a question that we would see each other," said Brown. "A lot of things changed though." To say Heger is passionate about the cars would be an understatement. "I spend more time here than anywhere else," he said. "I love this place and everyone that comes in here." The motorsports shop carries undeniable camaraderie and has replaced baseball as the outlet for Heger's drive and focus. Bryant, who Heger met last year, will be the best man at his wedding. The shop carries great expectations, too. Each of the 15 seniors on the project has specific assignments. When those are done, they're expected to continue coming in to pick up loose ends. It's not uncommon for Heger and his teammates to not go home until 4 a.m. — if at all. As the car's deadline approaches, the hours grow longer and he sees his fiancee less. "We've fought more often because of the car," Heger said. "She doesn't understand I can't be home. And that's hard." Heger originally guarded Sundays as the one day he and Brown would spend together, finishing homework, buying groceries or simply relaxing. But as the car nears completion, he's been working Sundays, too. “Am I jealous of the car? It was hard at first,” Brown said. “This rhythm has become the norm for us, these crazy schedules of not seeing each other. But I love him and he loves doing all that.” Through the strain put on their relationship by Heger's program, they keep their eyes focused on fall. Heger will attend competitions for the car all summer, but the wedding is Oct. 8. Brown worries about Hegen's health, too. Last spring, at age 21, he was diagnosed with diabetes, which calls for a specific diet and rest. "He likes to pretend he doesn't have a breaking point or human limitations." Brown said. "That worries me." "My mom has suggested we drive off from the wedding in the formula car," she says, half-joking. "But you can't fit two riders in it." At the entrance to Eaton Hall's Self Computing Commons, a large, 5-foot dry erase board reads in bold red: "NO FOOD, NO DRINK." A nearby poster reiterates, adorned with blurry images of Pepsi cans and pizza: "WARNING: No food, or chewing tobacco products in the labs! Third offense: Disciplinary meeting with the Assistant Dean of Engineering." "It's too much. It's brutal." LIZZY ALONZI A junior in computer science Within 30 feet of the entrance, however, two students sit hunched over Gateway laptops, one eating fruit snacks, the other drinking a large Mountain Dew. When a program creates enough demand for its facilities to never close, certain rules are ignored. During the long hours at Eaton, smuggled food is both a welcome diversion and a sustaining necessity. In the back corner of a room full of Linux computers, Lizzie Alonzi, Jason Chen and Claire Bangole spread their wares. "OK, so I brought a 5-hour Energy, a microwavable meal and my M&Ms," says Alonzi. "Claire ordered Jimmy Johns. Jason was going to order a pizza." Like the mechanical engineers at Learned, the programmers occupying Eaton at this late hour share deep friendships and respect akin to soldiers who've served together in battle, the deep bonds of long hours and mutual misery. "The community is tight-knit," Alonzi says. "We would do anything for each other." But the digital battlefield of zeroes and ones is endured in an office chair, a slower and more silent pace than the building of racecars. Keyboard clicks punctuate the silence. Alonzi arrived about 16 hours ago, at 7:45 a.m. Banglore showed up shortly after. Chen arrived at 7 p.m and plans to work all night. They wear hoodies with sweatpants or athletic shorts, the comfort clothing of academic endurance. "I might stay as late as Lizzy, until one, like yesterday," Bangole says. "To be fair, I did leave," Alonzi says. "That's when I got the 5-hour Energy." Last spring was Alonzi's roughest semester. She took Programming II, a class densely described in the course catalog as, "Basic notions of algorithmic efficiency and performance analysis in the context of sorting algorithms." Alonzi spent about 30 hours each week on class homework, on top of her 13 other credit hours. It's not uncommon for a student to fail Programming II and take it two, even three times. STEVEN HEGER A senior in mechanical engineering "I spend more time here than anywhere else. I love this place and everyone that comes in here." Her diet consisted mostly of Slim Fast shakes, not to lose weight, but for portability. "My mental health was two finally asked the grandmother why she cut off the end of the ham, she said, "Oh, I just never had a pan big enough." If students enroll in an average course load of 15 hours at a 1:3 classroom-to-coursework ratio, they should expect to spend 15 hours in class each week. That means 45 hours spent on homework, a total of 60 hours weekly. If attending college were a waged job, the last 20 hours would be considered overtime. That leaves little time for a part-time job, something many students need in a sluggish economy. A 2006 study by consulting firm O'Donnell and Associates found that 49 percent of college students work part-time about 16 hours per week — a possible grand total of 76 hours spent each week. Some norms pass through generations without ever being questioned. SEE TIME ON PAGE 4A The idea of a college student working 76 hours, mostly unpaid, defies America's image of the typical college student -- a John The Hawk, two longstanding bars just outside the dry campus. Young men in collared shirts and ball caps sit on The Wheel's porch drinking Bud Light and discussing sports. Gaggles of young women in skirts and high heels navigate the steep sidewalks of Mount Oread. This is the college life shown in movies. Youth. Alcohol. Revelry. On Jayhawk Boulevard's western end sits Marvin Hall, known by the architecture students who toil there as "the lighthouse on the hill." Even at midnight, its lights shine brightly from all four floors. Inside, students work in their studios, designing and building models to present later that week. Dani Boyd, a senior, wipes brunette hair from her face and peers intently through thick-framed glasses at a pile of paperboard that will later look like a building. For her, that image of college leisure down the One woman leans over, vomiting into bushes. A young man, walking away, exclaims, "Ah, drunk girlfriends are THE WORST!" ALEXANDRA Ben Pirotte/KANSAN 11 p.m. — Aaron Aday, a master of architecture student from Andale in his fourth year, stares complacently at a project he is working on in studio late into Tuesday night. Architecture students may spend anywhere from 50 to 80 hours in a week working in studio, often foregoing sleep, food and friends. --- 4A NEWS / FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM TIME (CONTINUED FROM 3A) Shina Gupta, a sophomore in Aerospace Engineering from Lenexa, works early into the morning around 3 on Thursday. She said the lab was usually packed, by but 3 or 4 a.m., "it's usually just me." Ben Pirotte /KANSAN S Ben Pirotte/KANSAN completely affected," Alonzi said. "Once a week I would have a mental freak-out, saying I can't do this major. I can't handle it." Eric Vogel, a senior from Prairie Village and a civil engineering student, works early into the morning around 3 on Thursday in a lab in Eaton Hall. He was working on an ArcGIS project, as he plans on graduating in Mav. As she approached Eaton daily and stood outside its glass doors, she came to resent it more. The daily demands of the labs and the school's ambitious students breed an intense culture, a survival of the fittest. Being one of few females in an overwhelmingly male program doesn't help. Independence brings pride, Alonzi said. Needing help brings judgment. Once, during early-morning hours when her strained system just couldn't make a program work, her eyes slowly welled up with tears. She dropped her head to the desk. Overloaded. Overworked. Overwrought. An older student walked over and, seeing her crumpled state, offered wisdom: "It only gets worse." --working for a review later this week. A dozen or so students work in Marvin's computer lab, focused on screens displaying 3-D images of their design. When a body passes by the open door, they all look up, a break from monotony. Others pace the unlit hallways leading to rooms where models are made. "Charette," a French word meaning "cart," bears a daunting weight in schools of architecture. At the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the influential arts school of 1800s Paris, it was common for architecture students to work on design plans right up until a deadline. Throughout the city's streets they could be seen on the school cart, scribbling furiously on their design plans, even in the final minutes before submitting them to professors. They were on the cart, "en charette." Charette, in both term and practice, passed through generations of architecture students who brought it to the professional field and shaped the culture. Now, at midnight on a Saturday, the rooms of Marvin Hall are abuzz with students en charrette Bright, red pipes line the white ceilings of one such studio. Below them, Dani Boyd and Maia Hoelzinger are fast at work. Each at separate drawing tables across the room, they rarely face each other, even when they talk. But even an unseen voice is company on nights like these. "You always have something to talk about," Hoelzinger says. "I'll be here 'til delirium hits, maybe three o' clock." "I'm here all waking hours, except when I eat breakfast," says Boyd, She pauses. "Wait, I ate breakfast here, too." White boards intersperse with wooden cabinets on the walls. Dirty-grey titles, the kind custodial staffs rarely get a chance to clean, make up the floor beneath their feet. On top of the room's many desks lie the staples of a student-architect: an empty 24 package of Pepsi, boxes of Kraft Easy Mac, some peanut butter. Most, if not all, of the day's meals are taken here. "I don't ever cook, even though I love to cook," Boyd says. Her go-to food in studio is Cheez-its. "What'd you have for dinner?" she asks Hoelzinger. "Taco Bell and coffee," Hoelzinger replies. "I'm going to kill myself." After years of studio life — late nights, little sleep, and less socializing — Boyd and Hoelzinger are used to it. "Obviously we get frustrated and have to step away or else we'll stab something." Hoelzinger says as she cuts model pieces with an X-Acto knife. "There's too many sharp objects in here." When studio gets especially demanding. Boyd and Hoelzinger have used prescription stimulants, too. "It it gets tough," Boyd says. "I've enjoyed Adderall the times I've done it." Adderall is another pill-form ADHD treatment used on college campuses as a stimulant, either for partying or marathon studying. "I don't take Adderall recreationally," Holzelinger adds. "I wouldn't waste it on that." For students in time-intensive programs, drugs and alcohol serve two purposes: to speed up or help cope. Kerwin said prescription stimulants are easy to find: "If you're a dealer and want to sell Adderall, you go to the architecture school." Other drugs play a role, too, she said. "There's a lot of marijuana usage, just for relaxing. You go in front of the computer just stoned and working on floor plans." Staci Ashcraft, a junior in architectural engineering who says she studies about 70 hours each week, sees the need to numb academic pressures. "You push yourself so hard one day and you know you have to do it again the next," she said. "But you always know the alarm will come too soon. A student I know in chemical engineering drinks every night when he finishes. He's like, "My mind's just blown, and I have to cope." Students can be impaired on campus without food or drugs, said Nancy Hamilton, an associate professor in psychology who researches sleep deficiency. "Data suggests that sleep-deprived driving is as bad or worse than being drunk on performance," she said. She added that the effect could apply to any routinized activity, whether cutting boards for models or building racecars. Hamilton also said sleep deficiency — for most, anything less than six hours — weakens immune systems, enables stress and starts a vicious cycle in academic programs. "It's a self-defeating culture in programs like engineering and architecture particularly, with accumulative acquisition of knowledge," she said. "In architectural terms, if your foundation is bad and you build on a bad foundation, then your "This can be a life-or-death issue for the architecture profession as well, not only individually but also collectively. Once exploitation becomes part of the culture of a group, it tends to perpetuate itself just as abused youths are more likely to become abusive parents. It also tends to color all relationships. How much does the mistreatment that architects accept from developers, for example, have to do with the tacit acceptance of such behavior within the profession's own ranks? Resolving the problem will require further effort by faculty and administrators at schools ...and a stronger stigma being attached to the exploitation of employees. But most of all, it will demand that students and recent graduates simply not take it anymore." THOMAS FISHER Dean of the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota published in editorial "Patterns of Exploitation" Driven by the clock Senior Steven Heger spends the night working for his mechanical engineering class 1101 Photos by Ben Pirotte 1023 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. — Steven Heger, a senior in mechanical engineering from Wichita, works dozens of hours every week on the Formula-style cars for Jayhawk Motorsports, which is the capstone project for mechanical engineering seniors. Last Tuesday, he worked throughout the night, as the debut of the car was the following Saturday. A 2011 Steven Heger wipes his face in exhaustion late last Tuesday night when working and Cameron Bryant. The car they were working on was debuting that Saturday the norm. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 / NEWS 5A JUNIOR ZOOMVISION Ben Pirotte/KANSAN building is going to collapse." Nick Fratta, a junior in architecture, said sleep was the first thing to go when student workloads get demanding. By its nature, sleep deficiency becomes an overarching burden that splinters into other problems. "You reach a breaking point, physically," he said. "Everybody seems to fall apart." He said one friend sanded a wood model in her sleep. Another crashed down into the project on his desk during the morning's most critical hours. Fratta uses classmates' coats as makeshift blankets to sleep under tables and in hallways. Prepared students bring sleeping bags. Hamilton said lack of sleep drains the immune system, too, and Fratta agreed. "When a deadline is approaching, I get sick. Without fail," he said. The studio model by nature keeps sleep-deprived students together in the same room for days on end, all with lowered immune systems, all handling the same door knobs and shop tools. Few have time to bathe or even change clothes. "It's a horribly unhealthy lifestyle," said Blake Thames, a senior in architecture who spends 80 hours each week on coursework. He's in what's commonly known as a competition studio, with deadlines every few weeks rather than months. Accordingly, he's pulled more all-nighters this year than his previous years combined. It's a Christmas tradition for him to be sick the first week of every winter break; the grueling toll of finals week on his immune system. The lack of sleep compounds a program's ever-present stress and anxiety, Thames added. This is a national trend. An annual Higher Education Research Institute survey released earlier this year reported record lows in the emotional health of college freshmen. In contrast, students rated their drive to achieve as higher than ever, pushed by rising tuition and unemployment rates, analysts said. In a studio full of cutting blades and power tools, sleep deprivation can mean more injuries. Sliced and nicked fingers are commonplace, the scars of which decorate the hands of many architects in the field today. "Our rule is: If it bleeds longer than three hours, you should go to the hospital," Kerwin said. The only first-aid kit is in Marvin Hall's craft shop, she said, which closes at nine each night. Some students treat cuts with super glue and masking tape. Kerwin recalled one student who sliced his finger during a project, leaving a chunk of his skin on the floor. Emergency room trips are avoided; not for monetary expenses, but for lack of time. "No one likes pulling all-nighters," said Thames, "but it becomes a sign of dedication." Like the engineering program, architecture schools' low acceptance rates and grueling expectations produce an environment where neglect of physical and mental health is the norm. Students log the hours spent on a project for bragging rights, and each all-nighter becomes a badge of honor. The costs of such a culture, however, can be high. In 2000, an architecture student at Southern University in Louisiana who pulled two all-nighters prior to a review died in a head-on car accident. The event prompted the American Institute of Architecture Students, the discipline's national student organization, to form a "Studio Culture Task Force" to promote discussions about unsafe expectations and how schools can look for alternatives. Their findings report that 73 percent of architectural students agreed they "often feel isolated from others outside the architecture school", and 80 percent "found the workload at architecture school overwhelming." Now the AIAS wants to eliminate the all-nighter from architecture education and, ultimately, the field itself, with the understanding that today's students will run tomorrow's firms. In 2005, the National Architecture Accreditation Board began requiring schools to draft and post studio culture policies that acknowledge and address unhealthy learning environments. Changing centuries of practice, however, takes time. "The idea of working all-nighters is engrained in the culture," said AIAS Vice President Danielle McDonough. "Ten years may seem like a long time, but it hasn't fully caught on yet." Nils Gore, interim chair of architecture, said he doubted centuries of tradition could change. "I think AIAS' venture to kill the all-nighter is hopeless," he said. "You might make small changes to nudge them here and there, but I think it comes down to the person's work ethic and their personal drive." draw out strengths in students preparing for the professional world. Students interviewed for this story all stressed a genuine love for their discipline, whether it be computer science, mechanical engineering or architecture. Indeed, their passion is the only thing that could carry them day-to-day. That personal drive came from cultures of competition in professional schools, which evolved to Yet that same personal drive helps perpetuate the culture, to their own detriment. People only have 24 hours each day, with finite mental and physical capacities that sometimes go neglected until it's too late. In December 2009, a KU junior in architecture was working late into the night in the Marvin craft shop before a review when she injured herself on a table saw, severing multiple fingers. The event sent shockwaves through the school. Newer, safer table saws replaced the old machines in Marvin Hall. The dean sent out a letter promising a new policy. Professors urged students to guard themselves and get more sleep. For a while, change was on the forefront. Ultimately, however, the reality and rigors of the program prevailed and the work culture remained. Two years later, the workloads of the University's most competitive programs continue to dominate the lives and health of the students they're intended to advance. Yet history shows that if a culture of overwork and time constraint is to be changed and healthy balance promoted, refocusing that personal drive is of the utmost importance. Though it took more than a century to see their cultural change come to fruition, when more than 40,000 workers of America's labor movement gathered in Chicago on Mayday, 1886, a new song was on their lips: We want to feel the sunshine; We want to smell the flowers. We're sure that God has willed it, And we mean to have eight hours.

Safety on K-10 can't wait for another study EDITORIAL Recently, a tragic crossword crash on Kansas Highway 10 killed two Eudora residents, including a five-year-old boy. This has prompted public officials to act and garnered Gov. Sam Brownback's attention. Officials have looked at the highway several times before. We hope this time, their efforts will yield results. Officials are responding to what they perceive as a dangerous stretch of road. This was the third wrong-way fatality crash in K-10 since August. According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, from 2000 to 2010, 19 people have died and 756 were injured in a total of 561 injury accidents on K-10 between Lawrence and Interstate 435. Eudora mayor Scott Hobson asked Brownback to have the state place wire or cable barriers along the highway's median, as a way to hinder or slow down traffic that might cross over into the wrong lane. Brownback has responded with a letter to Kansas Department of Transportation secretary Deb Miller. Transportation secretary Dee Minter. In his letter, Brownback calls for KDOT to communicate with Hobson about his thoughts and concerns, and also to form a local group to include in discussion and decision making. Brownback also ordered KDOT to immediately begin designing a project to widen shoulders and add rumble strips along the Douglas County stretch of K-10. This has already been done in Johnson County, and although this measure would likely not have prevented the most recent tragic crash, it is an important safety improvement that could be implemented immediately while waiting to evaluate and plan for cable barriers. Most importantly Brownback has ordered KDOT to immediately begin an update of the previous study on cable barriers on this section of K-10. cable barriers in every three years KDOT reviews all state four-lane highways. This section of K-10 did not qualify for cable barriers in a 2008 study, compared with two other four-lane roads near Topeka and Wichita with higher fatality rates. K-10 would be considered again in a 2012 study, but the governor has ordered the study to re-open immediately. K-10 is heavily traveled by students who commute to the University from the Kansas City area. Although the number of actual deaths might be lower than other highways, hundreds of accidents occur on K-10 every year. This highway should be re-evaluated for cable barriers, and in the meantime other safety measures should be implemented. KDOT should respond to the governor's and other public officials' concerns. One more tragic death as a result of a crossover accident is one too many. If barriers would prevent another fatality, then KDOT should take the necessary steps to re-evaluate K-10, and cable barriers should be installed. Especially amidst talk of perhaps increasing the speed limit on K-10 from 70 mph to 75 mph, cable barriers would make the road safer for all drivers. Erin Brown for the Kansan Editorial Board. Letter to the Editor Owners deserve the choice of when to close up shop The April 28 column "Freedom is found inside a gold-tin wrapper" by Aaron Harris displays a fundamental lack of understanding about what freedom is. Essentially, Harris is offended because someone of a different belief decided to close shop to celebrate a holiday. What he and others who feel the same should understand is that others have freedom too, and freedom means deciding which days you want to open your business. It is not freedom when you cannot celebrate a holiday because someone of a different religion (which atheism is for the purposes of this debate) demands that you come in to work to make them a burrito. On another note it is ignorant to assume that Christians are demanding that people of other religions keep their doors open on holidays. A simple Google search for "restaurant closed yom kippur" reveals 1,250,000 results, many of which at a glance appear to be American establishments The reaction from the general public is not Harris' imagined outrage but a simple "oh well" as the customer just eats somewhere else that day. Harris cannot claim he was denied his burrito without warning, a list of days the stores are closed is available on Chipotle's website and they probably had notices within their restaurant as well. The definition of "freedom" in this article was narrow and self-serving. In conclusion I present a slightly altered quote from George Orwells 1984, "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, burritos whenever you want them are a human right."

KANSAS Oh-em-gee, let's talk about issues with Facebook flirting, as some people have been assaulting my page lately, and it's high time I voice my concern against this social (network) injustice. There are some girls out there who SOCIAL MEDIA And even if you're poking the other person back, aren't you just returning the favor because you feel like it's a task to be completed before you can log-off? And then it becomes this hourly ritual, completely necessary to feel better about yourself by giving someone else attention and contributing to his or her overall emotional and psychological health? You can't just go around poking people you don't know over and over again! Totz not OK. BY JAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com Is there anything more violating than being poked by a cyber-stranger? Whatever happened to adding the person, starting a nice chat and reading/liking a couple statuses before moving to second base? The Millionaire Matchmaker would probably kick you out of her socially-awkward-rich-guy-for-gold-digger's club. And it's intruding enough to poke someone you don't know, but to repeat this action after I've clicked the little X and declined to reciprocate? Get out of my personal space, bitch. To effectively mitigate this harassment, users should take care in having good self-awareness online. Send a message to someone saying hello, or start a chat with that person, before poking him. If they don't reciprocate the poke, that probably means you should stop right there, before someone gets seriously irked. would like to play innocent, but, even as a full-blown faggy-baggy, completely desensitized to their ways, I am not negligent of the here's-my-cleavage-in-the-car snapshots. Oh yes, I see what your species does, and I do not want that in my face. Although this virtual debaucheery is appalling, the most atrocious behavior of all is pestering someone's wall. Habitually writing on a person's wall and commenting on her status is a serious breach of privacy, which could easily land you on the block list or in the "Hide this from" box. And if you're going to post a photo of your awkwardly-angled-cleavage or a mobile-bathroom-mirror classic (because I may be calling the kettle black with this one), just be sure it isn't your primary profile picture; this at least saves that great-mystery-revealed for people who intentionally inquire into your albums. Lastly, don't batter another person's wall, no matter how much you might think they enjoy your pathetic daily well-wishing and the publicizing of your social encounters on campus, because we're all secretly laughing behind your back about how cra-cra you are - elle-em-a-oh, elle-em-a-oh Bee-tee-dubs, in some cases like these, where the other person won't lay off your nuts, it's definitely OK to delete the creep.

Phil Rosenthal found that out the hard way when he tried to help adapt his long-running sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" for Russian television. The result was a clash of cultures captured in the amusing documentary film, "Exporting Raymond," which opens Friday. American TV series are popular around the globe through the traditional expedients of dubbing or subtitling. ("Raymond" was seen in this fashion in 148 countries.) But this was a bold new business model: faithfully translating the original scripts and replacing the cast with local actors. Another show had pioneered this approach. "I always felt like the show was a gift," he says of his creation's success. "Now our former enemies want to do it? How could you not take that opportunity?" "They invented the sitcom in Russia by bringing "The Nanny" over there," said Rosenthal, lingering over breakfast in a Philadelphia hotel. "I was told Russian men are not like Raymond," Rosenthal said. "In fact, there's a certain disdain for the "It wasn't until I got there that I thought, 'Maybe I should have thought this through.'" It immediately became apparent that all the Muscovites involved in the project couldn't stomach the Raymond character. That's a pretty big stumbling block when you're making a show called "Everybody Loves Raymond" (or as it came to be known, "Everybody Loves Kostya"). wimpy guy, the guy who is bossed around by the women in his life." A second problem quickly emerged. The haughty woman in charge of wardrobe insisted that all the female characters dress in chic evening wear. That didn't really fit the mood of TV's most kitchen-sink sitcom. It was like Alice Kramden and Trixie go to the ball. Rosenthal was already jittery. It was suggested that he get K&R insurance before going over. Say what? Kidnap and ransom, he was told. But don't worry; it hardly ever happens. "It happens enough that they have initials for it," he frets. 'gun? And why don't you have one? Maybe I'm not as valuable as I thought I was" "My favorite thing in the film was the Russian stage manager, when they asked her, 'What about Phil's fear of being kid All in all, Rosenthal would rather have been in Philadelphia, a city he visits at least once a year because his wife, Monica (who played Robert's wife, Amy, on "ELR"), grew up here, and still has family in the area. "I love it here," said Rosenthal. "A very manageable, walkable city with great restaurants." The film was shown the previous evening at the Philadelphia CineFest, and although it was "I always felt like the show was a gift. Now our former enemies want to do it? How could you not take that opportunity?" PHIL ROSENTALH Creator of "Everybody Loves Raymond" napped?" Rosenthal said. "She said, 'He doesn't look like the kind of man who needs to be stolen." "My bodyguard-slash-driver took me aside and said, 'You know Sony did not go for the gun package." Rosenthal's agitation was not allayed when he first arrived in Russia in March 2008 and discovered that Sony, the studio that had brokered this international venture, had decided to go with a discount security arrangement. "That makes you a little nervous. First of all, the word 'gun' popped out. 'Gun' had never been mentioned. Why are you saying greeted warmly, Rosenthal is aware tha t "Exporting Raymond" will face commercial challe- lenges when it is released theatrically this week. "This is by no means an easy sell," he said. "It's a documentary about a guy nobody's ever heard of. But I do think it plays like a comedy." Except when it doesn't. Rosenthal isn't always the hero of his own movie. Again and again, he gets prickly about maintaining the integrity of his sitcom. "I recognize I'm a pain in the ass when I watch the movie," he said. "When you're seeing yourself in that position, your first reaction is 'Uuuuch, I can't watch this.' "I had to see myself objectively as a character in a movie. That's the only way I could get through editing it." 48 HOUR LOOK AND LEASE SPECIAL WANT SERENITY?

Jayhawks face a weekend of make-or-break games BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Winning this weekend's series against Texas Tech could land Kansas as high as third in the Big 12 conference. Losing the series, though, could result in the Jayhawks dropping to seventh in the conference with their NCAA Tournament hopes falling into limbo. Lubbock, Texas, serves as the host to a weekend that's as big as any the Jayhawks have had all season. Currently fifth in the Big 12 standings, Kansas walks the line between being a major player in the conference, or being forgotten as one of the teams sinking to the bottom of the standings. "It's a crucial weekend; there's no doubt about it," coach Ritch Price said. "We have a chance to put some distance between us and Texas Tech in the standings, and as well as a couple other clubs." Kansas, which is 9-9 in conference play, is one game behind Oklahoma State and two games behind Oklahoma. Winning two of three against Texas Tech, who rests at ninth in the conference, could allow Kansas to jump over Oklahoma Sate and take fourth place. Oklahoma State will face sixth place Kansas State, in Stillwater, Okla., this weekend. If Kansas sweeps over Texas Tech this weekend, Kansas could vault over Oklahoma State and Oklahoma to be third in the standings. Oklahoma takes on Texas in Austin. Texas is sitting atop the first place perch in the tight Big 12. Texas Tech could cause Kansas to fall another spot in the standings, to sixth. Within striking distance of the Jayhawks are the Wildcats. Getting swept by Texas Tech would be devastating to Kansas' season. The Jayhawks would fall to seventh in the Big 12 standing, and would mean Kansas lost five games out of its last six. To avoid moving in the wrong direction, the Kansas pitching staff must deliver against a Texas Tech lineup that has the fourth best average in the Big 12 this season. "Our starting pitching has to keep us in the game and give our offense an opportunity to manufacture some runs," Price said. To be successful on the mound, coach Price said Kansas would have to keep Texas Tech sophomore second baseman Jamodrick McGruder off the base paths and sophomore outfielder Barrett Barnes hitting the ball within the ballpark walls. Dropping two out of three to McGruder grabs the Jayhawks' attention this time around, after rifling off seven consecutive hits against them last season. The former freshman All-American is hitting .311 this season and ranks second in the Big 12 in stolen bases with 26. Barnes, the third batter in Texas Tech's lineup, is hitting .288 and ranks second in the Big 12 in home runs hit with eight. "A year ago we were behind in the count. They did a nice job of laying off pitches outside of the zone, and then they were all over the fastball when we threw it," Price said. "We're going to have to spin the ball and get ahead in the count against them."

It will have to keep the damage caused by the Texas Tech bats to a minimum, in a weekend where there's so much to be lost or gained for the Jayhawks. — Edited by Sarah Gregory LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 644 Mars. 294-1971 749-1972 WIN WIN (R) FR: (430) 7:06 9:25 SAT: (200) (430) 7:06 9:25 SUN: (200) (430) 7:06 9:25 THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED (PG) FRI:(4:40) 7:10 QAT-SUNSHINE SAT-SUN: NO SHOWS CEDAR RAPIDS $ ^{(R)} $ FRT.:9:35 ONLY SAT-SUN: NO SHOWS 6 ADULTS $8.00- (MATINEE) SR. $6.00 www.libertuhall.net 图 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 / SPORTS 9A QUOTE OF THE DAY "We have a lot of guys in that locker room that are banged up. They gave a great stand, I'm proud to be a part of what they did. I think we have a bright future and a bright energy coming out of Denver through a year that had many, many different faces." - Coach George Karl after the Denver Nuggets' Game five loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder FACT OF THE DAY Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka sent back an estimated 12.4 percent of the 2-point attempts by the Nuggets in the five game series. BasketballReference.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Which QB was sacked 76 times in one season? A: David Carr iss-sports.com Fans' pick is not typical Madden cover boy MORNING BREW The biggest football stars in the world typically have the honor of gracing the cover of the football video game series Madden. According to the vote, this year's most popular player is Peyton Hillis. Madden 12 left this year's cover athlete up to its fans. The result was an upset victory by an up-and-coming running back for a losing team. Hillis, a 10 seed in the competition, took down huge names like Ray Rice, Matt Ryan, Jamaal Charles, Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com RY MIKE VERK A seventh-round draft pick in 2008, Hillis was never expected to be a householder name. But on Aug. 30, when Madden 12 splashes on to shelves, households across America will see his face daily for the next year. Hillis, a 25-year-old from Arkansas, gathered voting support from both the Browns and Razorback communities. He took 66 percent of the final round's vote. One year ago, Hillis could not have imagined he take down some of pro football's biggest names in a popularity contest. A 6-foot-1 240-pound bruiser, Hillis carried the ball just 13 times in 2009, helping the Broncos move 54 yards toward the opponents' end zones In the third week of the 2010 season, Hillis burst onto the scene, carrying the ball 22 times for 144 yards. He repeated his standout performance in week four, running for 102 yards off of 27 carries. Hills finished his season rushing for more than 100 yards three more times for a total of 1,177 yards on the season. THE MORNING BREW Hillis' impressive season made him a fan favorite in Cleveland and an easy target of the ESPN hype machine. But does he deserve the fame? Ray Rice, Hillis' first round opponent, ran for more yards than Hillis did in 2010, and is building off of two stunningly successful years with the Baltimore Ravens. Matt Ryan, Hillis' second round foe, has had four impressive seasons with the Falcons at quarterback. Jamal Charles ran for nearly 500 yards more than Hills in 2010 on 30 fewer carries, but fell to Hillis by 20 percent in the voting. Another opponent. Aaron Rodgers, won Superbowl MVP, exorcised demons of Brett Favre past and had a postseason QB rating of 109.8. Then there's Michael Vick. Vick completed one of the greatest turnarounds in sports history last season, capturing the nation's attention with dazzling plays week after week. Yet Hillis will be the one to take the coveted position on the cover, joining Eddie George, Marshall Faulk, Ray Lewis, and Brett Favre. among others. — Edited by Helen Mubarak All of the aforementioned players were the best and most popular names in football at one point in their careers. Peyton Hillis does not yet fit that bill.

FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A SUIT UP It's game time Check out the depth chart on 8A | Spring Game, Memorial Stadium, Tomorrow 1:30 p.m. The Kansas football team will play its annual spring game this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The players all want to leave a lasting impression on the coaches KANSAN FILE PHOTO The spring game gives the players a chance to shine BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com The Kansas football team concludes spring practices with the annual spring game set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The format of the scrimmage has yet to be determined by the coaching staff. Coach Turner Gill said Monday that the coaches will decide between a traditional game format and a less formal offense vs. defense scrimmage. Senior wide receiver Daymond Redshirt freshman running back Brandon Bourbon will miss Saturday's game after injuring his foot in a practice last week. Bourbon is set to return in six to eight weeks and will be able to participate in summer conditioning. Patterson is returning from a leg injury and his status for Saturday's game is doubtful, according to coach Gill. Patterson led the team last season with 60 catches and 487 receiving vards. Gill noted that the secondary has made the most progress on the defense this spring. Keeson Terry and Bradley McDougald look to start the season. Terry missed most of 2010 after injuring his leg in week three when Kansas lost to Mississippi State. McDougald, who was recruited as a wide receiver, made the switch to safety full-time during last season. On the defensive line, Gill said he has been most impressed with defensive end Pat Lewandowski and tackle Keba Agostinho. Toben Opurum has been steady as expected, according to Gill. "Toben has definitely made a lot of strides, which is kind of what I expected. I think he is a lot more smooth in what he needs to do in terms of technique and coming out with a little more speed." Gill said overall execution was his biggest concern heading into Saturday's game. PLAYERS TO WATCH: Tight end Tim Biere: Gill singled out Biere early on in spring as a potential leader for the layhawks in 2011. In year two of Gill's more ■Running back Darrian Miller: Miller arrived on campus in January and has caught attention so far this spring, scoring four touchdowns in the team's first scrimmage. balanced offensive attack, Biere could have a breakout season this fall. Quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham: The starting quarterback spot is still up for grabs and both players have experience from last season. Saturday's performances could make lasting impressions heading into training camp this summer. Edited by Marla Daniels SOFTBALL Team prepares for weekend series and hopes to add to winning streak A. Sophomore shortstop Mariah Montgomery stops a ground ball at Wilkins Stadium in Wichita on Wednesday afternoon against Wichita State. Kansas defeated Wichita State during game one of Wednesday's doubleheader 11-3. BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Howard Ting/KANSAN The softball team is on a three-game winning streak going into this weekend's series against No. 22 ranked Texas A&M. The Jayhawks have returned to the aggressive play style from the beginning of the season, defeating Iowa State 8-6 and Wichita State 11-3 in six innings and 6-3. "It was a good day for us to have good at-bats and build our confidence," coach Megan Smith said after the Wichita State double-header. The team broke the its single-season home run record of 54 home runs. They set the mark at 59 home runs by hitting five homers in their first game against the Shockers. In addition to breaking the home run record, the offense was more productive than they had been during their conference losing streak. "We are just swinging a lot more aggressively," junior Liz Kocon said. In "the past games we have been really passive, letting the pitchers work us. So our game plan was to come out and attack like we were earlier this season, and it definitely paid off" The batters finished the WSU doubleheader with 21 hits and 17 runs. This is a sharp increase in productivity from the rest of the conference season. The team batting average is .224 during Big 12 play, with 88 hits and 49 runs. Kocon, junior Marissa Ingle and sophomore Mariah Montgomery all left Wichita with home runs. The team needs to keep up the momentum gained against WSU Wednesday night. Keeping the attack mentality will be key for the Jayhawk batters in the remaining five regular season games. The team is right on the bubble as far as the NCAA committee is "We need to get a win this weekend," sophomore Mariah Montgomery said. "It would be really big for us. We will be sitting pretty well and it will be very important to get a win, and it will be exciting for the team as well." concerned. It is important for the team to walk away from these final games with five victories. — Edited by Caroline Bledowski COMMENTARY This Saturday's game gives fans a reason to hope for the fall season D Does the Kansas spring football game matter for anything? In many senses, no. The quarterback debate will loom large until the last weeks of August. The offensive and defensive lines won't prove competitive until they hit the field against live, unrestricted competition. And despite the premise that the annual spring game is the "live," everyone knows it really isn't. The quarterbacks are handled like champagne glasses and the defensive players hold back on hits to stay healthy. I can't blame them, though. The football season is long enough as it is, and there's no use going through the offseason with a brace around an ankle. But there is always an uncontrollable excitement about the spring game. For many, it's the first glimpse at a team that represents hope for the future. We all know the scar that last season put on both the Kansas football program and Turner Gill's reputation. But this year, we will all be hoping for change. Gill is still the good guy. He is still the guy that will do things the right way. He still manages his players in the same fashion, respecting them while expecting greatness. But something is subtly different about him. He no longer jokes around. . BY NICO ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com twitter.com/#/nico罗esler But for all the hope that this Saturday's game represents, it will be poked with holes that desperately need to be filled. These holes will leave more fans with a question of faith in Gill, rather than with hope. at least with the media, as much as he used to. He is all business. When talking about his team, he looks straight ahead, gives straight answers, and doesn't try to side step his way out of many questions. Spring ball has been all about business, and nothing less is expected from the spring game e day, no questions will be The quarterback situation is as unpredictable as a squirrel running across the road. Jordan Webb will be heading into the spring game as the lead man. Quinn Mecham will probably share reps with him, and Kale Pick might take a few snaps for the heck of it, but by the end of the day an answer will answered. The reason: Brock Berglund. Berglund was supposed to be playing this Saturday. He was supposed to be the guy who saves this unproven Kansas team. But he will be a no show, after going back home for personal reasons. So what does a fan make of a spring game that is supposed to shed some light on the future of Kansas football when the light is shining on a bottomless well? Hope. Hope is the answer, and belief is what Gill and Kansas football want you to walk away from the game with. The belief that even without Berglund on Saturday, the team will impress, and hope that when Berglund gets back, the team won't miss a beat. After all, in 2007, when Oklahoma and Bob Stoops entered their spring game with the question of a starting quarterback being battled between Joey Halzle and Keith Nichol, the third guy on the list was the one who started the first game of the season. It was a young Sam Bradford So no, the spring game doesn't count for anything when it comes to predicting lineups for next season. But it does give fans a glimpse at what team hopes to be when that time comes. - Edited by Tali David
