Displays of patriotism celebrate President Obama's announcement

PRESIDENT OBAMA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Barack Obama reads his statement to photographers after making a televised statement on the death of Omaa bin Laden from the East Room of the White House in Washington, Sunday.
Lawrence resident Linda Reynolds stood at 10th and Massachusetts streets holding an American flag, waving at honking passersby and thinking of her two sons, who are Marines.
It was a small act of pride marking the historic news.
President Barack Obama announced Sunday that bin Laden was killed by a small team of Americans in a U.S.-led operation. After the news broke, students hit downtown bars to commemorate the death of Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and a-Qaida leader.
Michael Hayes, a 2008 graduate, and Austin Wagoner, a military veteran entering the University of Kansas in the fall, celebrated at the Red Lyon, 944 Massachusetts St., where friends shared beers and listened to patriotic songs.
"No matter who you are, we will find you and make you pay." Wagoner said.
A group of around 25 gathered in front of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sunday night wearing patriotic clothing and holding up signs.
Several cars blew their horns as Colter Thoma,
a freshman from Towanda, held up a sign reading "honk for USA." A KU Public Safety officer waved as a patrol car passed.
"I think it's more symbolic, but it what's we need right now." Thoma said, wearing red and blue.
Jake Silverman, a senior from Wildwood, Mo,
said he found out watching Fox News. Silverman
said the crowd in front of SAE was trying to get people excited.
"Basically, we're just trying to promote America," Silverman said.
Taylor Boyle, a sophomore from Minnetonka,
Minn. went to SAE after she saw the celebration.
"These were the only people acting patriotic," Boyle said. "No one else was."
Boyle said she wanted to be a part of history
Obama addressed the nation at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday as crowds gathered in cities across the nation. Thousands came together in front of the White House, near ground zero and in New York's Times Square.
"Justice has been done," Obama said.
Bin Laden's actions set off a chain of events that led the United States into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a clandestine war against Islamic extremists that touched scores of countries on every continent but Antarctica, The Associated Press reported.
"The cause of securing our country is not complete," Obama said. "But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to."

University parking permits and ticket fees under discussion
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE
Inightengale@kansan.com
When the Parking and Transit Department announced a possible raise in parking permit prices, no one was more upset than University workers who maintain campus lots. Hourly parking rates could be raised from $1 per hour to $1.50, and the fees for parking tickets could also see an increase.
"I can't see having to pay more, not a nickel," facilities worker Sam Bailey said.
When the parking department held an open forum April 14, Bailey and several other staff members voiced their concerns about the price of parking.
Many University employees haven't seen a raise in three years. Increased
costs of insurance and parking threaten to reduce their paychecks. The parking department sent three proposals to the provost, one of which included a parking permit increase.
Because an increase is unpopular, Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said it was unlikely. Instead she expects another proposal that would increase the costs of hourly parking, events parking, and certain permit categories such as moped permits.
"Just because of the sensitivity, especially for faculty and staff with no raises for maybe a third year in a row, there's not a lot of support for raising permit parking prices." Hultine said.
The increase in event and hourly parking shifts the burden of cost from everyday users, such as staff and students, to campus visitors.
two bucks for parking I don't think is going to bother them, but it might save a bunch of us," Bailey said. "What we're trying to do is let everybody know, I don't know how we can afford any more."
The parking department will begin work this summer to reconfigure parking at the Mississippi Street garage, adding gates and a fee system similar to the one used in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage. Instead of prepaying, the system would allow users to pay an hourly fee when leaving the garage.
Hultine said she expected the provost to decide which of these changes would be made to campus parking policies today.

OBITUARY
Professor emerita dies in her home
Edwyna Gilbert, profesor emerita of English, died unexpectedly in her home last week, according to a media release from the University of Kansas Friday. She was 74 years old.
Gilbert retired in 1993 after 26 years of teaching. She began her career in the School of Education, where she lobbied for greater language arts requirements when the school overhauled its circum in the 1980s. She became an associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1985. For many years after, Gilbert was the only professor teaching children's literature.
After her retirement from teaching, she served on several advisory boards to University departments including the libraries, the Endacott Society and the Hall Center for the Humanities.
"Despite her humble demeanor, her ardent passion for the people and programs she believed in led her to willingly embrace not only the role of an educator, but that of an advocate," Lorriane Haricombe, dean of libraries, wrote in the release. "Her contributions and spirit of enthusiasm will have a lasting and positive impact at KU and beyond."
No funeral details have been released.

Gas prices fall after bin Laden's death
In London, Brent crude for June delivery was down 98 cents to $124.91 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
Obama said bin Laden was killed Sunday by American special forces in Pakistan. Traders said the death of bin Laden could weaken al-Qaida's ability to carry out attacks and destabilize the oil-rich Middle East.
However, al-Qaida operatives could also seek revenge for their leader's death, and political uprisings this year throughout the Middle East and North Africa that have threatened to disrupt crude supplies were not related to al-Qaida.
Trading volume was light in Asia as markets in China, Hong
Associated Press
SINGAPORE — Oil prices eased off two-and-a-half-year highs to below $113 a barrel Monday after President Barack Obama announced that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had been killed.
Benchmark crude for June delivery was down $1.23 at $112.70 a barrel at midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The contract rose $1.07 to settle at $113.93 on Friday and reached $114.18 during in the session,the highest since September 2008.

ROYAL WEDDING
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — With a smile that lit up TV screens around the world, Kate Middleton swept down the aisle to marry Prince William in a union expected to revitalize the British monarchy. Hundreds of thousands then cheered as the royal couple rode an open carriage to Buckingham Palace.
Cheers, toasts and protests
Even with millions of people tuning in to watch, the couple managed to appear at times in their own private world Friday, both at Westminster Abbey and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. William whispered to Kate, who radiated contentment and joy, as they pledged their lives to one another at the church with the simple words "I will."
They then delivered two — not one — sweet, self-conscious kisses on the balcony, with William blushing deeply at the highly anticipated event. Within moments, a flyby of vintage and modern Royal Air Force planes roared overhead.
— prompted swoons of admiration as she stepped out of a Rolls-Royce with her father at the abbey. Against all odds, the sun broke through steely gray skies at that exact moment.
The biggest secret of the day
Her ivory-and-white satin dress — with its plunging neckline, long lacy shoulders and sleeves and a train over 2-meters (yards) long — was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. Middleton's hair was half-up, half-down, decorated with dramatic veil and a tiara on loan from Queen Elizabeth II.
"It's a dream," said Jennie Bond, a leading British monarchy expert and royal wedding consultant for The Associated Press. "It is a beautiful lauded soft look, which is extremely elegant. She looked stunning."
William, second-in-line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles, wore the scarlet tunic of an Irish Guards officer, reinforcing his new image as a dedicated military man. The couple's first royal wedding present came from the queen: the titles of duke and duchess of Cambridge.
Floods of well-wishers — as well as some protesters — packed central London. Cheers erupted as huge television screens began broadcasting at Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park.
"Will, it's not too late!" read one sign held aloft by an admirer.
Her class starts in 15 minutes.

Reacting to breaking news about bin Laden
CULTURE
For whichever reasons — which I'll leave for psychologists to diagnose — I hate unexpected notices, messages or news. Pretty much anything that is sudden and important. Like calls from family members, especially from my mother or sister, at a time that doesn't seem right. My mind jumps to hospitals and car wrecks.
Last night, while sitting on my couch doing homework, CNN interrupted my studious mind with breaking news. Why this caught my interest. I have no idea. Isn't everything breaking news these days?
The news: the president would be making a statement at 10:30 p.m.
My mind went racing, and the reports were fueling my doomsday thinking. The pundits said things like "extraordinary" and "can't overstate the magnitude of this event." For a while, all that could be said was that the address would be about "national security."
Could it involve developments in Iran? Would we increase our involvement in Libya? My stomach could not take another war, especially from this president. our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president.
BY D.M. SCOTT dmscott@kansan.com
Wolf Blitzer stammered on and on about how he thought he knew what the address would be about but couldn't confirm and didn't want to speculate.
Then, CBS broke the mystery: Osama bin Laden was dead.
(As a newsie, this was interesting to watch. CBS broke the story on the Internet, while CSI: Everywhere was showing on its television channel. It has out in front, as Blitzer keep repeating his "I can't confirm" mantra.)
My mind processed the news. It resembled closure but not fully. I couldn't quite muster the tears of joy.
Then I really reflected.
I was done with homework for the night. I sat back and watched the president's press conference and then the thousands of people gathering outside the White House who chanted "USA, USA, USA."
Nothing can bring back those feelings I felt on 9/11 and the days and weeks that followed. Our country was unified in grief and anger, a toxic mix. The images will never go away: the Twin Towers attacked and falling down, the New Yorkers running away from the debris, the vigils and the friends and family members holding the photographs of missing loved ones.
That last image still gets me. Pretty soon, many of those names scrolled the bottom of our television sets as civilian casualties in a new form of war, ones that we will probably never see an end.
Sept. 11 brought me to tears. I cried more than once for the more than 3,000 people that died on the day, people whom I did not know. I didn't understand my emotions, but I knew that I was grief-stricken. The first-responders were heroes like I had never known. Like many others, I thought about joining the military or becoming a firefighter. But for whatever reason, I didn't. My life moved on.
George W. Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive." Most of us wanted him dead. Last night "Justice has been done," as the president said. I can only hope that this brings solace to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 or in the war that has ensured because of it.
I've never been a chanter, but USA,
USA, USA. . .

GUEST COMMENTARY
All classes, in all schools should be open to all students
As a student at the University of Kansas, one would expect a multitude of opportunities to study anything you wish. But what if a student is not sure what she wants to study? Can she just take a few elective courses in a variety of areas to broaden her horizons?
Yes, but only to an extent. She cannot take any class offered only to students enrolled in a specific school. The University should require that each school offer at least one basic level course that is open to all students.
The University offers more than 190 majors within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the University's 13 schools. The problem comes when a student isn't sure if she wants to study architecture or art. If a student wishes to take a course offered by the School of Architecture for instance, she must either be admitted to the school, or she must obtain the dean's approval to take even a basic class in architecture.
This can even be a problem for students who know what they want to study. University policy states that of the 124 undergraduate credit hours required to obtain a bachelor's degree, 68 must be taken at the CLAS. The remaining 56 credit hours are determined by the requirements of the major chosen. Most of these majors allow between 15 and 25 credit hours
to be elective hours. So, if a student is enrolled in the School of Architecture, she has 21 credit hours available outside of her required classes for electives. If she wants to take a drawing class from the School of Art, she must either minor in art, or receive the express permission from the dean of the art school to enroll.
These classes are closed to most students to avoid over crowding the class with non-majors ensuring that the students majoring in a subject area are able to take the required classes in a timely manner. That is all great, but the University should offer a basic level class open to all students and a more in depth class for those seeking the major. If all 13 schools offered open enrollment in one or two basic level courses, students would be more able to explore the educational opportunities available at the University.
College students are told several times throughout their college careers to take advantage of the massive number of experts in more than 190 areas of study available to them as a student of the University. How can students do this if they are not allowed to take the courses they want to take?

Students, read this column if you want to live
Throughout the years, I have used this space to warn you, the reader, about various dangers that threaten our lifestyles, livelihoods and indeed our very lives. And I'm the first one to admit that just about all of these warnings have turned out to be false alarms. Elderly people haven't gone on crime sprees, anti-Thanksgiving turkeys haven't violently overthrown the American government and KFC's Double Down sandwich didn't kill America. I understand if you want to label me as some sort of unreliable, sensationalist lunatic.
Recently, the greater Pittsburgh area has been invaded by ninjas, with two separate instances of rogue ninjary in the last few weeks alone. One was reportedly breaking into cars using a sword, while another left his four-year old unattended at 1:30 a.m. to prowl the streets in all black, demonstrating a true dedication to his craft above all things.

But you have to believe me when I say this: The ninjas are coming.
BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com
Look, I know that I don't have the best track record when it comes to predicting imminent doom. But if you were ever going to listen to me, listen to me right now. You are going to need to protect yourself from these ninjas. They are deadly, and they are coming here, soon.
So why should you be concerned? Well, as we all know, most trends in Lawrence originate from Pittsburgh. (This is why Jefferson's closed to make room for a steel mill.) Before long, they'll migrate to Massachusetts Street and menace the citizens of our fine town with their lethal combination of stealth and skill.
Luckily for you, I am about to finish my degree in ninjaology and therefore know exactly how you can defend yourself from these ruthless night stalkers. Take my advice, or leave it: It's your neck that'll get snapped.
DON'T BE AFRAID
Ninjas can smell fear from a mile away. They can also smell blood, flopp sweat, and morning breath. This is because they train in Tibet, where they drink tea through their noses and have their nasal hairs groomed by Liam Neeson. To deter ninjas from attacking you, slather yourself in wet garbage. (Ninjas hate the smell of wet garbage.)
DRESS LIKE A NINJA
DRESS LIKE A NINJA Ninjas have a very strict honor code and may not attack one of their own under any circumstances, unless it is in self-defense or they just like it. The downside is that your disguise will attract the attention of the police and small children, who will both annoy you with dumb questions about your
PARADOXES ARE YOUR FRIEND
Not unlike robots, ninjas will self-destruct if you say anything that defies logic, such as "I've noticed how good you are at blending in with your surroundings." They will also explode if you make passive-aggressive comments about their figures. ("That's a good look for you; black is very slimming.)"
sword.
AVOID DARK, SHADY AREAS AT NIGHT
Ninjas tend to lurk in the shadows, waiting to pounce on unwitting victims without warning. If you must walk outside at night, light yourself on fire first. That way, your immediate surroundings will always be well-lit. Plus, ninjas won't be able to attack you without
getting severely burned. (Ninjas hate getting severely burned.)

Difficult detection of counterfeit bills at bars
BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com
It's a Friday night at the Mass St. Pub, and the bar is in full swing. The room is dark and the people are drunk and loud. The bartenders, trying to keep up with the pace, quickly serve the customers drinks and take their money even quicker.
As the wind nights down, a barback takes $25 out of a tip jar and makes a disappointing realization: the $20 bill in his hand is not real. He alerts manager John Graves, who checks the rest of the cash. Graves said the bar got hit with $280 of counterfeit money that night two months ago.
"It itkes two seconds of looking at it to realize it's fake," he said.
He blamed the bar's vulnerability on the simple nature of nightlife:
quick transactions in a fast-paced and dark environment. He also said bartenders were not expecting to receive fake money.
Chuck Green, an agent with the Secret Service in Kansas City, Mo., said counterfeiters prefer quick and busy transactions where there is not enough time to realize the bill is fake. He also said they will generally make a small purchase to optimize the money they get back.
Although counterfeiters hurt the businesses they target, it does not happen frequently in Lawrence. Green said his office has received 21 bills since February 2011; a "blip on the radar" of the counterfeit spectrum his division covers.
Sergeant Matt Sarna of the Lawrence Police Department also said counterfeiting is not a big problem in Lawrence. Sarna said that
generally, counterfeit money is used by people passing through town and those involved in the drug trade.
Green said a lot of counterfeit money is produced off home printers and scanners. He said the quality of the bills varies, but they usually look and feel funny. These bills only need to pass for a quick moment, and a second look is all that is needed to determine if they're real. A special counterfeit pen will also detect fake money that is not printed on genuine currency paper. However, another method, known as bill washing, will pass the pen test and requires careful scrutiny. Counterfeiters "wash" the ink off lower denomination bills and then print higher values, usually $100, on the paper. The watermark of the original bill will still show up when held against the light, so people should make sure the faces
on the bill always match.
When counterfeit money is detected, the local police and the Secret Service are alerted. The money is sent to the Secret Service office where the money is kept as evidence. Green said his office receives $300,000-$400,000 a year, and 25 percent of that is found during police searches and seizures in the field.
Graves, who has worked in Lawrence bars for six years, said he never saw counterfeit money until his experience in February. He said Mass St. Pub received another fake $20 bill last month, and his staff takes more time to examine cash during transaction.
"We keep an eye on it now; it's pretty much all we can do," he said.

Relief pitchers give up 10 runs, Kansas swept by Texas Tech
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Jayhawks' relief pitchers gave up a ninth and 10th inning run in their 3-2 loss Friday, four runs in the sixth inning in their 9-4 Saturday loss, and five after the seventh inning in their 8-7 loss Sunday.
In 10 total innings, the Jayhawks relief pitchers gave up 10 runs to the Red Raiders.
The Texas Tech bullpen, unlike its opponent, stifled the Kansas batters in 14 1/2 innings, giving up five runs, all coming in Sunday's wild shootout. Junior closer John Neely pitched in every game this weekend and did not give up one run in four innings pitched.
"He was the difference in the series," coach Ritch Price said. "He picks up the win Friday night, bails them out Saturday when we have runners in scoring position, and then he gets out of another jam in the eight inning that he inherited Sunday."
With the Jayhawks' back against
the wall after losing the first two games of the series. Sunday's roller coaster game gave both teams a wild ride until it's conclusion.
Freshman reliever Frank Duncan entered the game with Red Raiders on second and third base. Duncan got senior designated hitter Nick Popescu to hit into an inning ending double play, keeping Texas Tech from extending its 3-2 lead.
in the bottom of the seventh, the game tied at 3-3. Duncan put runners on the corners after hitting one, walking another, and throwing a wild pitch. The Red Raiders scored two after an RBI ground out and an RBI single down the right field line.
The Jayhawks entered the ninth inning down one run, and had not come back to win from an eighth inning deficit all season. With two outs and runners on first and second, freshman Tucker Tharp stepped into the batter's box with only two career hits for Kansas.
Tharp's third hit ever for Kansas was also his first career home run for Kansas, giving the jayhawks a 7-5
lead in the ninth.
"It was exciting to finally get a chance. You want to prove to everyone that you can do well and come through for your teammates when it matters." Tharp said. "I wasn't too nervous, I was just trying to get the ball in play and advance the runner; huckily it worked out for me."
Junior closer Colton Murray took the two-run lead into the ninth, and once again the spotlight fell back on the bullpen. Murray let a runner get on first and second with one out after throwing a wild pitch and walking a batter. After getting the second out of the inning, Murray gave up an RBI single to make it a one-run game.
Murray then threw 12 balls in his next 15 pitches, giving three Texas Tech batters a free base. The game-winning run was scored after Murray threw four straight balls to freshman right-felder Andrew Wheeler.
"Today his command just wasn't good," Price said. "When you've got a lead like that, you've got to make them swing the bat."
Murray blew a 2-1 lead Friday as
well, giving up a ninth inning solo home run to the first batter he faced.
The Iayhawks fall to 20-24 overall and 9-12 in Big 12 play Kansas falls from fifth to seventh in the Big 12 standings after the weekend.
"We could have won another series and been 11-10, and that would have moved us to fourth place." Price said. "Now we going to have to play great against Oklahoma and Kansas State to finish the deal now"
The guys who get the call in baseball's most nerve-racking situations, the relief pitchers, could not come through for Kansas in tight situations all weekend. On the other hand, Texas Tech's bullpen showcased their toughness in the Red Raiders sweep over the Jayhawks.
"Its the hardest inning there is to pitch in baseball. It's the ninth inning." Price said.

The team got off to a strong start, by placing second in each of its first Novice Eight races. Texas answered, however, by winning all six remaining races to claim its third consecutive Big 12 title. Kansas ended up finishing fourth out of the four teams that competed.
The day began with the Second Varsity Four race, which was not worth any points toward the championship. The teams had to deal with a strong headwind as they made their way through the 2,000-meter course. Texas won, with a time of 8:45.5 and Kansas took third, with a time of 9:05.1.
Next came the Second Novice Eight race. Again, Texas claimed the victory with a time of 7:37.9 while the Jayhawks took second place with a time of 7:46.3.
which was more than 17 seconds ahead of Oklahoma, who placed third. In the First Novice Eight race, Kansas earned another second place finish with a time of 7:23, which was only five seconds behind the Longhorns, who took first. The five second gap was the closest any boat finished to Texas for the entire championship.
Coach Rob Catloth was happy with his novice teams.
After the first two races were complete, the Jayhawks found themselves in second place overall, with a total of nine points toward the championship. Texas lead with a total of 12 points, while Oklahoma and Kansas State were tied for third, with a total of four points each.
"Our novices are continuing to do well every week," said Catloth. "We're really excited about that group."
Kansas and Kansas State finished closely in the next two Varsity Eight races, which started with the Second Varsity Eight race. The Jayhawks placed fourth, with
a time of 7:16.5, only two seconds behind the Wildcats. With third place in the Big 12 Championship on the line, the First Varsity Eight race was very competitive between the Jayhawks and the Wildcats. Kansas State edged Kansas at the finish line, with a time of 7:02.5, compared with the Jayhawks' time of 7:03.5.
"With 500 meters left they were pretty much even," Catloth said. "A second isn't much difference, only about 10 to 15 feet after racing for 1.25 miles, so that was really close."
Kansas State held on to win third place in the final standings with a 67-point total which was 13 points ahead of the Jayhawks, who took fourth place with a collective score of 54 points. Texas won the Big 12 Championship, with a perfect score of 111 points. Oklahoma finished second with a total of 85 points.
All four teams qualified to compete in the Conference USA Championship May 14. in Oak Ridge, Tenn. In addition to being a
part of the Big 12 Conference, the Jayhawks, Longhorns, Sooners, and Wildcats are all also a part of Conference USA for rowing. Their competition will consist of Alabama, Tennessee, Tulsa, SMU, and UCF.
Catloth saw much improvement at the Big 12 Championship, and is excited for where his team is headed in the future. He hopes the improvement will show when the Jayhawks compete in the Conference USA Championship.
"We made up some time on Kansas State from last week as well as Oklahoma from earlier in the year," Catloth said. "We're pleased with that. We traditionally make an improvement in the last month of the season, and I think we're doing that. Our varsity boats closed a lot of time on K-State today, so I'm really excited and looking forward to the Conference USA Championship in two weeks."

Jayhawk Invitational gives look at prospects
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Kansas is in hot pursuit of the class of 2012 shooting guard Shabazz Muhammad and class of 2013 shooting guard Chris Thomas.
After their performances in the Jayhawk Invitational finals, it makes a lot of sense. Muhammad finished with 36 points and Thomas countered with 35 points. Muhammad and DreamVision won the game and the tournament by a final score of 94-85.
But Muhammad and Thomas were far from the only Kansas recruiting targets in the field this weekend. Muhammad wasn't even the only one on his own team. Three teammates — Winston Shepard and Robert Upshaw in the class of 2012, Ishmael Wainwright in the class of 2013 — are also on Kansas' wishlist. Shepard, a Rivals.com four-star

Also in the field were long time Kansas

Jackson played in the tournament for the Compton Magic and threw down the dunk of the tournament with a breakaway 360 Saturday afternoon. Mitch McGary, a 6-foot-10 center who plays high school ball at Brewster, the alma mater of Thomas Robinson and Kansas signee Naadir Tharpe, also was in town for the tournament and took an unofficial recruiting visit Sunday after his team was bounced by Muhammad and DreamVision.

Seniors reflect on four years together
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
Senior pitcher Allie Clark and senior catcher Brittany Hile have spent their whole collegiate softball careers together. Now, after four seasons, Clark and Hile, who were roommates their freshman year, are parting ways with one another, the Kansas coaching staff and their fellow lavihawks.
Saturday's close game against Texas A&M marked their senior night together. In front of their fans, Clark and Hile stood on the field with their families, teammates and coaches to accept framed jerseys and to reflect upon their careers.
"It's so much fun to be able to go out with Allie," Hile said. "She has become such a huge leader and part of this season this year I am just so proud of her. It's really sad at the same time because we came in together and now we leave together, and it's really sad."
Clark has served in many roles
during her time at Kansas. She has 147 career starts playing pitcher and designated player. In her senior season, she has thrown 78 strikeouts. She
threw her career-high eight strikeouts in Saturday's game against A&M.
Sunday against A&M, Hile noticed a runner stealing second and responded by throwing down to freshman infielder Ashley Newman at second, but the runner beat the throw by just a moment. Newman
"The first inning I just kind of rolled, and I just kind of got in a rhythm," Clark said. "It kept building, and I don't want to say that I kept getting better, but I gained more confidence."
She has led the pitching staff this season with her even temperament and her encouragement from the dugout. Every game she leads at-bat cheers. Saturday, when Hile stepped up for her at-bat with a 3-2 count Clark cheered with the rest of the team, echoing, "Beat it, Brittany! Beat it!"
Hile made her 200th career start during Saturday's game. She began her career as the J.yhawk's starting catcher. Her experience behind the plate has benefited the young defense this season.
threw the ball back to Hile to catch the runner stealing home. Hile then recognized that the runner at second was attempting a steal at third and threw down to junior Marissa Ingle, sending the runner sprinting back to second and quashing the scoring threat.
Hile will be taking her skills to Florida to play for the National Pro Fast-Pitch league's NPF Diamonds at the conclusion of the Jayhawk's season.
"I don't regret anything."
"It's going to be really weird," Hile said. "It's going to be really different because you don't get a couple of months to get to know each other. So I hope it is just as great as this team."
The Kansas team has been a family for both Clark and Hile. They have been there for the best moments like the Stetson Hatter Invitational where the team went 5-0 run-ruling Morehead State twice. They have also been there for the low points of the season like Sunday's 13-0 loss to Texas A&M.
ALLIE CLARK Pitcher
"There are so many memories," Hile said. "Every year a new group of girls come in, and you think that team is just a family;
well, every single team becomes your family. It's just so remarkable, and it is really sad going out."
The seniors have three games left in the regular season and will be waiting to see if the team will continue into Regional play. The Jayhawks will miss the seniors for their leadership on and 10th field. Even though Brittany and Allie will be parting ways, they will look back fondly on their four seasons together at Kansas.
Allie summed up the emotions of her career best.
"I don't regret anything," she said. "I had a lot of opportunities and was given a lot of chances. I played with a lot of amazing people and athletes and coaches. It's just been amazing the different voices and the different opinions that you come in contact with. Amazing people, amazing program, amazing school. I am just so glad that I came here, that I got the chance to come here."

MORNING BREW
KU: The Curse of the Spring Game
Christian Mathews, Darian Miller and Toben Opurum all had pretty impressive showings at Kansas' spring football game Saturday. Opurum hurried plenty of passes and had one of the game's only sacks, Miller averaged 5.75 yards per carry on four attempts, and Mathews provided the day's biggest highlight with a 53-yard touchdown reception.
So, all three should probably be pretty worried.
See, success in the spring game doesn't always translate into a productive season come fall. In fact, last year it meant pretty much the opposite.
In last spring's exhibition, Kale Pick was the star, completing 14 of 22 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. It was a great showing for the quarterback who was eventually named the starter for the Jayhawks' season opener.
It turned out, however, that Pick had thrown for more yards in the spring game than he would in the entire season. Pick finished the 2010 season throwing 21-for-36 and 193 yards with one interception and no touchdowns.
Chris Omigie was one of the most impressive receivers at last year's game, pulling in four receptions for 95 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown reception. But in the actual season? He, too, didn't match his spring game productivity, racking up only 73 yards and no touchdowns.
1980
Tim Biere was impressive last April, too, with 56 yards, including a 20-yard
BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com
touchdown reception. Biere had the hardest season opener of all, fumbling twice in the 6-3 loss to South Dakota State and dropping three other passes. Biere, of course, rebounded later in the year and ended the season with four touchdowns.
Mathews even looked promising last year, as well, catching a game-winning 37-yard touchdown pass for the Blue team. That was one of two catches Mathews would have on the year, as he added only one more during the 2010 season.
THE
MORNING
BREW
What's behind this startling contrast between spring and fall production? It could be that the spring game is simply a glorified practice, nowhere near the intensity of an actual game, where secondstring players can go up against secondstring players to produce first-string stats. It could be the fact that it's much easier to have big offensive days when avoiding injury and entertaining fans are the main goals.
The more likely explanation, however, is that the game is cursed. Maybe each pass caught, each touchdown scored and each yard gained on the Memorial Stadium turf in April brings some mysterious force in the fall. Maybe having a big day in the spring game is the Kansas football equivalent to being put on the cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine or a Madden football game, both of which are commonly thought to bring bad luck.
So maybe the true winners Saturday were wide receiver Daymond Patterson and running back Brandon Bourbon, who both sat out of the game with injuries. When the Curse of the Spring Game inevitably rears its ugly head upon Mathews, Miller and Opurum in the fall, look to their talent/unblemished luck to carry the Jayhawks.

Battle of the quarterbacks
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
The Kansas quarterback battle raged on in Saturday's annual spring football game, as Quinn Mecham and Jordan Webb both put up encouraging numbers while they split time taking snaps.
Blue defeated White by a score of 17-6 in front of a crowd of 6,000 fans at Memorial Stadium in a game that saw a slew of players getting time on the field.
Webb had the first crack at field general and capped off a 70-yard drive with a touchdown pass to junior wide receiver D.J. Beshears.
Webb's day ended with him completing eight of 14 passes for 108 yards and one touchdown. His only blemish was in the second half on a broken play that saw Webb throw the ball directly into the hands of the defense.
The off-target throw wasn't a big deal to coach Turner Gill who played off the interception as a little dark spot on a mostly bright day.
"Overall, one play is not going to totally define what he's done." he said.
Webb was also seen being flushed out of the pocket on a few occasions but did not falter and kept his eyes looking up field to make a play, something the Jayhawks had trouble with last season.
"I'm definitely feeling a lot more comfortable, but that just comes with experience." Webb said after the game. "The coaches have really been focusing on getting the quarterbacks comfortable with the system and making sure we stay within ourselves."
Mecham entered the game early on in the first half and displayed signs of maturation from last season.
While he was sacked four times,
Mecham threw for 102 yards on six completions including a 53-yard touchdown bomb to Christian Matthews in double coverage. All three players bobbled around the pass before Matthews eventually gained control and strolled into the end zone.
After the game, Gill said he was pleased with the execution of the offense with Webb in the game, specifically with the tempo getting out of the huddle and getting plays called.
"I got lucky," Matthews said. "I had clear view of the safety in the corner, and I just went up for the catch and got it."
"If I had to give an edge right now, I would give it to Jordan Webb, but with the tape, I will see it a little deeper." Gill said.
While the quarterback competition is primarily among Webb and Mecham, recruit Brock Berglund was in attendance at the game.
"I think we looked fast, and we are definitely up in our athleticism." Opurum said. "We are playing with more intensity, and we just have to keep that up."
On the defensive side of the ball, converted defensive end Toben Opurum was a force for the Jayhawks, recording two tackles and putting a lot of pressure on the offense. After the game Opurum acknowledged the defensive's showing and was pleased with how well they played.
Berglund, who did not play in the game, left spring practices early for personal reasons but is expected to partake in the fall camp.
After the game Gill spoke highly of the Jayhawks improvement thus far and believes the group he has will be effective in the upcoming season.
"There's no doubt that we are a better football team than we were last year, and we have a lot more
confidence in our guys." Gill said,
"We are looking for the people that will be able to finish and be productive, and I think we've seen a few guys that can make plays in the game."

Kansas drops two games to Texas A&M
NSA
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
Senior pitcher Allie Clark beats the Aggies runner to first base by passing a pop fly to first baseman Laura Vickers at Arrocha Ballpark on Saturday afternoon. Kansas lost to the Texas A&M Aggies 3-2 in the first game of this weekend's doubleheader.
The softball team suffered two defeats at home to Texas A&M during the weekend.
Saturday, the Jayhawks fell 3-2 after a late rally in the seventh inning falling just short of a win. The final two at-bats Saturday began the team's decline into Sunday's 13-0 run-rule defeat in five innings.
Kansas was strong all around Saturday. Senior pitcher Allie Clark had her best day from the circle with eight strikeouts. She stepped up for the team in the top of the second inning with two consecutive strikeouts after an A&M home run to set the score 1-0. Clark gave the offense a chance against the strong Agile batters.
The offense totaled six hits Saturday, with a home run by sophomore outfield Maggie Hull. She stepped up in the bottom of the third and hit her ninth home run of the season off the first pitch thrown by the Aggies' ace pitcher sophomore Melissa Dumezich. It also put Hull in second place in single season RBIs with a total of 48.
Howard Ting/KANSAN
"They had a really good scouting report on me and so the coaches were telling me to just be aggressive, be aggressive," Hull said. "I toped up on the line and made the pitch kind of middle out and got some distance on it. So once it came, I knew I was going to attack it."
were more excited than they had been in other home games. Hull contributed the extra effort to remind the team that coach Megan Smith said that the team was on the bubble to make an appearance at Regions.
The team created a different type of atmosphere Saturday. They
"When you have bases loaded with no outs our old team would have just given up, but this team we knew we were going to fight all game and we knew we were because that's the team we really are," Hull said.
On Sunday, the offense had a rough start with three quick outs in the first inning and they did not improve afterward. On the day, the team had only 19 at-bats and three hits opposed to the Aggies' 22 at-bats, nine hits and 13 runs.
On Saturday, it appeared as though the Jayhawks had captured their early season fight again, but by Sunday the drive and tenacity all but disappeared.
"I think Texas A&M showed up and was the better team today and they didn't do that yesterday" Smith said. "They were on fire offensively and we just couldn't recover."
The Jayhawk pitchers struggled against the Aggies Sunday. The Texas A&M coaching staff made batting order changes for Sunday that took advantage of Clark's pitching style from Saturday.
The Jayhawks began with Clark pitching then switched to freshman hurler Kristin Martinez in the top of the third inning. She pitched until the top of the fourth when junior Ashley Spencer entered and pitched until Clark was sent back
"It's really frustrating because it only takes one pitch," Clark said. "That's what sucks as a pitcher when you make a mistake. It's frustrating but you have to have a short-term memory."

"We are going to forget this game," Smith said. "We are going to wash it from our brains and go into Drake with a fresh mind. We are going to focus on the good things we did yesterday, the fight we had yesterday and take that into Drake."

COMMENTARY
Spring game helps fans forget last season
1
BY MAX ROTHMAN
rothman@kansan.com
Nothing could have gone wrong Saturday, and that's just what this team and these fans needed.
This year's spring football game helps us forget the muck of last season. We needed something tangible to abandon so many memories that thou shall not revisit.
from all angles fans marched. In trucks, on bicycles, or on only two feet, fans poured into Memorial Stadium and the areas around it. It was the last day of April with a football-se anse feel.
Blue-shirt fans, young and old, grilled under wide, white tents on Campanile Hill. Others gathered in parking lots around pickup trucks that blared country crooners. They grilled food and drink from beer cans dressed in Kansas koozies.
Halftime sweetened the day, when sophomore defensive end D.J. Marshall received a standing ovation as the words "Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer survivor" shined under his name on the video board at the south end of the stadium. Marshall held his right hand in the air to show his thanks and Gill smothered him with a hug.
The Jayhawk faithful nearly filled up the west side of the stadium, which was the only side open for the day. The sun was beaming and the wind was slight. No matter what took place on the field, being outside and together seemed to be enough for the fans.
After nailing three field goals up the middle of the goalposts, sophomore kicker Ron Doherty missed a 42-yarder. At most, the miss elicited a shrug of our shoulders.
Early in the game, Mecham heaved a 53-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Christian Matthews. Senior cornerback Anthony Davis blew the coverage, but a long score got the fans riled up on an otherwise houm afternoon. So who am I to judge?
Junior defensive end Toben Opurum, former running back and linebacker, looked more com fortable at his newest position. His speed off the snap was evident and coach Turner Gill praised his progress. But was Opurum's success at pressuring quarterbacks Jordan Webb, Quinn Mecham and Blake Jablonksi a product of improvement or an inefficient offensive line?
On a day like Saturday, a dropped pass by, oh I don't know, senior tight end Ted Mcnulty for example, envelopes not a single "boo."
But there was a football game on this day, and the results of that game are difficult to decipher. But that's what you get when you scrimmage your own team. This led to an issue of clarity with cheers. Fans repetitively chanted "Go Jayhawks!" For which side did they cheer for?
On the day of the spring game, we couldn't lose. Quarterbacks wore red jerseys so they weren't hit. Gill stood on the 50-yard line, not the sideline, and stared at his team.
It's easier to denounce a downfall when the season is months away. It's also nice to know that Kansas is always to win on the football field in April.

Alum creates Google Earth fieldhouse
Brian McClendon, KU graduate and vice president of Google Earth, commissioned Google employees to create an online replica of Allen Fieldhouse. The three-dimensional replica even includes the banners and floor designs, allowing users to experience the fieldhouse without being there.

Growing up, Brian McClendon would walk through Allen Fieldhouse, admiring one of college basketball's greatest venues. Now, thanks to his efforts, millions of Internet users can share in the same experience.

McClendon, a graduate from the University and vice president of Google Maps and Earth, commissioned Google employees to create a three-dimensional replica of Allen Fieldhouse on Google Earth. The detailed replica features all of the banners and floor designs that appear in the real fieldhouse.

"I think there are a healthy number of buildings that are not done." McClendon said, challenging students to submit designs. "I would really like to see KU's campus modeled."
"I basically decided that I wanted a good version of Allen Fieldhouse," said McClendon, who lives in California and has a hard time
Although professionals completed the model of Allen Fieldhouse, McClendon said that anyone could design and submit 3-D models to Google Earth, including KU students. Google Sketchup allows people to create three-dimensional buildings online. If Google approves of the model, it will post them on Google Earth.

Although the real fieldhouse took months to complete, the virtual one was completed in just a few weeks. The designers, who McClendon said consisted of some of the best 3-D modelers available, worked from photos and designs obtained by McClendon and others.
"The result is in my opinion one of the best 3-D models on Google Earth," McClendon said.
McClendon should have a good idea about Google Earth, a computer program that allows users to locate and navigate to any location on the planet; he created it. After graduating from the University with an electrical engineering degree in 1986, he went on to work with computers. In 1999 he
developed Keyhole, the predecessor to Google Earth. Google then purchased the program from McClendon and hired him.

BITTERSWEET CELEBRATION FOR VETERANS
BY ALEX GARRISON
One day after the news of Osama bin Laden's death and nearly ten years after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, students reflected on the meaning of Sunday night's historic news in their lives.
Felix Zacharias, a graduate student from Wichita, was a Marine cadet stationed in Hawaii on Sept. 11. He echoed several military veteran voices in saying that the celebrations in Lawrence and elsewhere were understandable in their collective catharsis.

never were made available in their collective canvases.
"As a veteran, I relieved" he said.
But the tone of celebration, Zacharias said, was misplaced. His commanding officers in Hawaii told his class to continue with life as normal after the attacks. That advice sat him and others up for a better perspective on terrorism. Zacharias said.
"We thought, Maybe we'll have to go to Afghanistan after the connection to bin Laden was made" he said. "But we didn't let ourselves get overwhelmed with a fear of death."
When he heard of President Obama's announcement Sunday night — through text message — he thought again of that concept instilled in by his commanders.
"The best thing you can do against terrorism is live your life normally," he said. "I would love to see a point where nobody cares — that would really mean that we all moved on with our lives."
Tony Phansiri, a sophomore from Kansas City, said the death was not a time of celebration but a milestone in the on going military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is something he says, of which many students don't understand the complexity. "People don't fully 'get it' because it's very hard to grasp," Phansiri said. "But most of us who have served, we've lost friends on

More gender-neutral restrooms wanted
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
On cigarette breaks, Cage Letchworth would urinate by an air conditioning unit next to Snow Hall.
It wasn't out of laziness or a desire to vandalize University property. He wasn't making a political statement. Letchworth urinated outside because he could not find a bathroom he felt comfortable using.
Letchworth, a former KU student from Lenexa, was transitioning from female to male. At the time, Letchworth looked too masculine to use a women's restroom, but not masculine enough to risk entering the men's room. And he couldn't exactly walk up to a urinal.
"I wasn't passing as well as I am right now," said a flat-chested, full-bearded Letchworth. "People didn't think I belonged in either
one."
y
Scenes like this have prompted the Student Senate coalition KUnited and the KU LGBT Resource Center to call for more gender-neutral restrooms to serve transgendered people as well as disabled students with attendants of the opposite gender and parents with children of the opposite gender.
So instead of risking embarrassment, Letchworth would squat outside and try to hide behind a chain-link fence while he did his business.
"When push comes to shove, and we are looking at our peer institutions, I feel we are not adequately addressing this issue," said Diane Genther, LGBT resource center director. "I mean even Missouri is doing a good job."

Death of bin Laden brings relief, not closure, to 9/11 victims' families
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Nearly 10 years after his wife was killed at the World Trade Center, Charles Wolf still falls asleep each night on one side of his bed.
On Monday, news of the death of the man who helped orchestrate that emptiness brought Wolf a muted joy. He declared himself glad it was finally over — still aware that, for him, it never really can be.
"This is a feeling of happiness, but not jump-up-and-down happiness," said Wolf, who lost his wife, Katherine, in the attacks. "The idea of closure is something that really, really — it doesn't exist, to tell you the truth."
lapsed towers. She said she knows her son, who died at age 23, would have been "dancing in the streets" at word of bin Laden's death.
"I can hear him up in heaven yelling and screaming," she said. "I can see him being just thrilled."
But she, too, said there would be no closure for her. Instead, "There will be a hole in my heart until the day I die," she said.
When he heard of bion Laden's death, Mike Low went into the
bedroom that had belonged to his daughter Sara before the flight attendant was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11. He sat down in front of a glass case holding his daughter's remains, and he told her the news.
"For my family and I, it's good, it's desirable, it's right," said the Batesville, Ark., resident. "It certainly brings an ending to a major quest for all of us."
Family members of those lost on Sept. 11 reflected Monday on a decade of grief that cannot be erased by any worldly victory. Still, the death of the shadowy figure who had taken pleasure in their sorrow brought some a sense of relief.

Chief justice graduates, leaving two seats vacant
ADMINISTRATION
Chris Bronson/KANSAN
Brandon Smith served as both chief justice and one of the four judges in the Student Senate Court of Appeals. Smith graduates in May and says the inability to fill the empty positions has hurt the student body.
For more than two years, Brandon Smith occupied the role of acting chief justice for the student Senate Court of Appeals. But with Smith's graduation this month comes a void that, according to Senate rules and regulations, must be filled.
Asper his departure, Smith wrote a letter to The Kansan outlining his experiences incurred while serving as acting chief justice. In his letter, he said the inability to appoint the court to full membership "hinders our abilities and ultimately hurts the student body".
After Smith graduates from the University, only three judges will remain on the Senate Court of Appeals. According to the rules and regulations, the judicial branch of Senate is to consist of one chief justice and four judges. Since its birth in 2009 though, the court has existed with only four members. As the oldest student member of the court, Smith chose to serve as the acting chief justice.
Smith, a third year law student from Olathe, said the inability to appoint a fifth member has undermined the authority of the court.
In March, former student body president Michael Wade Smith co-authored legislation with Senator Mark Pacey to disband the court of appeals and restore the judicial authority back to the Student Executive committee. The Senate rights committee voted against the legislation.
Michael Wade Smith, a senior from Goodland, doesn't hide his feelings about the court. He said the court of appeals was put "together over a weekend and in a very rash way."
"Not having an official head of our branch makes it difficult to really be invested in the infrastructure of Senate," Smith said. "And obviously five is better than four for voting decisions and getting stuff done."
The student body president is responsible for appointing the chief justice but during the two different administrations the court
has existed within, no committee has been established to elect a fifth member. With Smith's departure, two seats will now be vacant.
According to Smith, Michael Wade Smith deliberately avoided appointing a fifth member this year because "he never wanted the court to exist in the first place."
Michael Wade Smith said he did not see a point in appointing that fifth member.
"Why would I appoint a member to a branch that I was working on legislation to disband?" Michael Wade Smith said.
With both men departing, the future of the court is unknown as it now lies within the hands of the current student body president Libby Johnson. Johnson was a member of the rights committee that voted against ridding Senate of the court but was unavailable for comment.
Eric Sader, a member of the Court of Appeals and a second year graduate student in law and social welfare from Salina, said the court has functioned "remarkably well" with what's been given.
"But we're hopeful with the new officers, they recognize the existence of the court and will go forward with appointing two new members," Sader said.
The Senate Court of Appeals handles situations where conflicts of action, interest, or policy arise within the student government. The court typically deals with financial issues, elections rules, or bills that could affect the infrastructure of Senate.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE
In an effort to make campus lighting as energy efficient as possible, KU Environs is proposing the installation of LED lights throughout campus. Currently, the group has installed a set of LED lights as a demonstration on West Campus, in an area known as the bioswale.
"It was amazing," Benson said. "There were actually no shadows there because it was so evenly lit. Then we looked at another parking lot, and there were dark spots everywhere."
"I think if there was at least one per building that would be a major improvement," he said.
Wescoe, Watson and Anschutz libraries have no gender-neutral restrooms, the survey revealed. Budig Hall has one restroom, but it is only accessible through an individual office. The Kansas Union has one unmarked employee restroom in the Student Involvement & Leadership Center on the fourth floor.
Letchworth noticed the lack of facilities every time he had to pee outside.
KU Design & Construction Management director Jim Modig said the 16 to 18 building codes KU DCM has to follow determine the type and number of campus restrooms. These codes do not distinguish between gender-neutral and gender-specific restrooms.

or family restrooms exist on campus. Although finding one of these restrooms is as easy as knocking on the chancellor's door or visiting the KU airplane hanger, which both have unixsec bathrooms, many high-traffic areas lack these facilities.
Benson said the group hopes to speak with Chancellor GrayLittle and other campus administrators to determine if the change is plausible. Right now, the group is working with the Student Environmental Advisory Board and Design & Construction Management to determine the effectiveness of the new lighting.
The KU Environs group is proposing the installation of LED lights, such as the one seen in the photo, throughout campus in an effort to increase the efficiency of lighting on campus. Six demonstration lights were installed at the bioswale in West Campus in the beginning of Anil.
KU Environs asks for LED lighting throughout campus
The demonstration lights were installed at the beginning of April, said Nick Benson, vice president of KU Environs. Benson said the group plans to survey University students and faculty, in an effort to determine if installing the LED
lights on the main Lawrence campus would be effective.
ENVIRONMENT
Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., said the lights were donated to the group by Cooper Lighting for 90 days. He said the group chose to work with Cooper Lighting because of the visual aesthetics and historic feel the lights have.
"We want to preserve the value of campus." Benson said. "But we're hoping to move forward to the future, too."
KU Environs travelled to Leavenworth earlier in the semester, Benson said. There, the group had the opportunity to view a store parking lot with LED lights.

RESTROOMS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
To resolve the problem, Genther helped form a gender-neutral task force in January. The task force is working to map and increase the number of gender-neutral bathrooms on
campus.
And for Letchworth, who prefers not to urinate next to dumpsters, anything that will help him use the restroom comfortably needs to happen as soon as possible.
Johnson said speaking to members of the gender-neutral restrooms task force and hearing students talk about the issue for the last two years prompted KUnited to make an effort to increase gender-neutral restrooms on campus.
"The last thing that needs to stress a student out is urinating." Letchworth said.
"There are restrooms that can be easily altered with changing the sign on the door," Genther said. Genther and the task force initially hope to change single-stalled gendered bathrooms into nongendered bathrooms.
Johnson said these efforts could include raising awareness of the issue, trying to get existing bathrooms renovated, or even pressuring the University to include gender-neutral restrooms when constructing new buildings or remodeling.
But these changes do carry certain expenses.
Modig said he did not recall seeing the request but would look into it. 'He also said he would be receptive to providing building blueprints to help the task force track and map gender-neutral restrooms on campus.
Genther said conflicting schedules and communication issues with other University entities slowed the process. Genther said she had hoped to receive University blueprints to assist with the survey, but KU DCM had eventually denied her request.
Genther said that creating gender-neutral restrooms is often a simple process.
Progress for changing these restrooms has been slower than some on the task force had hoped. The task force had planned to have all the gender-neutral restrooms on campus surveyed by March 4, but the survey has yet to be completed.
Modig said that the cost or changing a sign is between $50 and $100 and includes the cost of the sign, man-hours to hang it and door repair. If the restroom door is a swinging door, it must be replaced with a locking door to comply with unisex or family restroom code. Modig said the change would cost about $500.
Although the task force has faced difficulties, its members have started the ball rolling. KUnited added the issue to the its platform earlier this year.
"We want to do whatever we can to support this process," said Libby Johnson, student body president.

I hate getting to class and realizing the pants I grabbed off the bathroom floor were dirtier than I thought.
I had an epic orgy last night with my roommates ... AMERICA!!
Look at all the freshmen acting like they didn't just sit in their dorm lobby and talk about how they wished they could go celebrate with the true American patriots who aren't afraid to show our passion.
Dude who shot Osama shouldn't have to pay taxes ever again.
I don't care if you're not super into politics or current events, but how can you say Osama being killed isn't a big deal?
So it takes Osama's death to get cuss words back into the paper? It said "fuck" on the front page yet we're still censored online ...
I can't wait to see the next "South Park" episode.

A VETERAN'S REACTION
The death of bin Laden strikes differently for veterans
Junior year chemistry class. That's where I was almost 10 years ago.
A classmate came in and told us that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center. The TVs were turned on to watch the news and students were called home, me included, by panicked parents.
At this point, there are several emotions coursing through me. Skepticism, anger, relief, sadness. My mind is a mix I have rarely experienced.
Fast forward to this Sunday evening. I was sitting at home watching "Tron: Legacy" with a friend. A friend of his tweeted about Osama bin Laden being killed. A few moments later, Facebook exploded with the news. The message was delivered differently, but it was no less powerful than the one 10 years ago.
JONATHAN R. BURKE
BY AARON HARRIS aharris@kansan.com
I find myself in doubt. Doubting that it really happened. It's been 10 years and I honestly thought he might have died years ago. A ruse to keep a cause going.
impact is not erased due to one mans death.
Foremost in my mind, though, is the fact that this changes nothing. Call me a cynic. I don't care; it's the truth. Ten years ago, lives were lost and others changed forever. Such an
The "leader" of al-Qaida is dead. Yeah, I put quotations around that for a reason. After serving in Iraq, I saw leaders of terrorist cells die or get captured. There was always another waiting in line. This will be no different. And that's saying that Osama has been leading al-Qaida these past few years.
There are roughly 350 students on this campus, plus several faculty members, who will see this differently, as I do. My opinion is not the same as all of theirs, probably not even the majority. Their lives, especially those who saw combat, were affected because of this man. Their families lived in fear of them dying on foreign soil because of the domino
effect caused by one person. They will see this as a beginning, though. A beginning to a time when an era can possibly end.
We will go on living. Some will use Osama's death as a political move. Others will turn him into a martyr. Several will have the closure they have longed for these past 10 years. The world has moved on the past decade, and it's time that we joined it.
When you all go out for drinks this weekend, be cliché. Raise your glasses in a toast to a world that needs to heal. A friend and I will raise ours to those who were lost, in the towers and on the battlefield. Enjoy the moment that they had to die for.
Harris is a senior in journalism and history from Kansas City, Kan.
COMMENTARY
Osama's death may lead to different reflections of former president Bush
After taking a few steps back from our crowded American flag, one has to wonder, from this point forward, what sort of implications Osama bin Laden's death could have regarding how the public remembers former President Bush.
Most people don't argue that Bush was a highly unpopular president. A quick look at Gallup polling data shows an all-time low of twenty-eight percent approval of his job performance, placing him in the bottom four most unpopular executives in United States history.
With a staggering economy and a highly unpopular and unsuccessful war lingering around his closing years in office — among other things — it doesn't take much to understand how the public's opinion of the most well-known government figure can lack so much confidence.
KANSAS
But, two days ago, after President Obama announced the "capture" of the man who caused Americans so much devastation, after nearly a decade of searching and seven years of combating his violent, fundamentalist organization (not to imply that this combat is over), people are likely to be susceptible to 9/11 nostalgia, that is, jump back into that patriotic mindset following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
People might have thoughts about where they were on that day, images of the crashing towers running through their minds and George Bush's confident, Western voice asserting that America would respond to the violent attacks made on its soil, and they can't help but remember who was commanderin-chief at the time, how confident they were in his ability to successfully lead the United States in a counterattack, as evidenced in his record 90 percent approval rating at the time.
This is not to imply Bush should be credited with bin Laden's lifeless body being in the hands of the American government, or that this event will have any positive effect on
BY JAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com
peoples' attitudes toward American military presence in the Middle East, but it could nonetheless have a positive effect on peoples' remembrance of his time in office.
For many, remembering this confidence and connecting it to these new feelings of pride and feat as a result of bin Laden's death could re-shape how they think about the former president, perhaps, what I would hypothesize, reinforcing existing positive attitudes or weakening negative ones. And some people just might not give a damn.
Perhaps more critical to affecting peoples' remembrance of George Bush would be the future level of stability or instability in store for the Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite his unpopularity while in office, stable democracies in these uncertain Middle Eastern countries, on top of bin Laden's death, may have an even greater positive effect on public perceptions of the former president than predicted with the latter alone. Conversely, continued instability in these areas could have the opposite effect on such attitudes.
Nonetheless, we have yet to see the effect bin Laden's death will have on public attitudes toward Bush, and this could potentially have some interesting implications as to how this major political actor is portrayed to future generations.

CULTURE
Will the real Shakespeare please stand up?
Later this year, Columbia Pictures is releasing the film "Anonymous", a political/historical thriller about the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, the Essex Rebellion and whether or not Shakespeare was really Shakespeare. The authorship of Shakespeare's plays and the political turmoil surrounding the succession of Queen Elizabeth might seem to be totally unrelated, but the movie promises to merge the two seamlessly and, judging from the trailer, it will probably do so with a lot of action sequences.
Sarah A. Smith
The film is being directed by Roland Emmerich, known for "Independence Day," "2012," and other disaster movies revolving around calendar dates. It might seem totally insane to give a movie about Shakespeare to a guy who made a movie in which killer ice chased Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal through New York City, but the cast list boasts prominent Shakespearean actors. Despite the fact that the premise sounds like a bad dream, it's actually based on an actual theory that has many prominent followers.
BY LOU SCHUMAKER
ischumaker@kansan.com
Personally, I don't put a lot of credence into the theory that Shakespeare didn't write the plays with his name on them and I would love to say something smug like, "Of course, no real historian has ever paid attention to this ridiculous theory," but that's not even going to be true.
The question of the authorship of
kenneth paul spears plays goes back to the
The list of people who don't believe Shakespeare wrote his plays, known as anti-Stratfordians, includes Orson Welles, Mark Twain and Sigmund Freud. Keenum Reeves is also an anti-Stratfordian, which raises the question: Why isn't he in this movie? Because, honestly, I probably go see that.
middle of the 1800s, when guys like William Henry Smith and Orville Ward Owen first began espousing the idea that the philosopher Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays. After that, more and more candidates began popping up. Christopher Marlowe, Sir Thomas More, and William Stanley, among many, many others, have all been promoted as the real author of the plays.
Often, anti-Stratfordians will draw parallels between a historical figure and the characters in the plays, which makes sense, because Stephen King has had a ton of problems with evil clowns and Jerry Siegel is from Krypton.
In addition, there's usually some kind of conspiracy theory as to why Shakespeare got credit for someone else's plays. The Oxfordian theory, on which the film "Anonymous" is based, postulates that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was Queen Elizabeth's secret lover and had a secret love-child with her, which somehow kept him from being able to take credit for writing his plays. A variant of this theory suggests that, not only was de
Vere the Queen's lover, but also her son.
I don't think that's true, but I desperately wish it were, because English class does not have nearly enough illicit incestuous affairs.
Despite the list of prominent supporters, anti-Stratfordians make up a relatively small percentage of Shakespearean critics. Contemporary critics and Shakespearean experts such as Stephen Greenblatt and James Shapiro have dismissed the idea time and again, only to have it rear its ugly head once more. In response to Emmerich's upcoming film, Shapiro wrote the book "Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?" in which he criticizes both Stratfordians and anti-Stratfordians for trying to glean biographical facts from Shakespeare's plays.
Anyways, I'm not going to take anti- Stratfordians seriously until they listen to my theory about how Shakespeare shot JFK during the fake moon-landing, which then caused 9/11.

ATHLETICS
Volleyball team roars with excitement from the fieldhouse
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
Hearing a roar coming from mid-court of Allen Fieldhouse is nothing out of the ordinary.
Hearing a roar from the volleyball team from the floor of Allen Fieldhouse is a little more peculiar.
Nonetheless, after winning the CHAMPS award at Monday night's 2011 Jayhawk Senior & Scholar Athlete Banquet, the Kansas volleyball team erupted in cheers of excitement.
The banquet, which was held on the court of Allen Fieldhouse for the second-straight year, celebrated the achievements and careers of Kansas' senior student athletes.
The CHAMPS award is handed out by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and is no easy trophy to capture.
All year long, each athletic program is pitted against one another as each tries to be the best to demonstrate personal development and team camaraderie.
Points are awarded to teams in five categories; attending home competitions for all Jayhawk teams, community service, Student Athlete Advisory Committee participation, team GPA, and participation in department-sponsored life skills and career seminars.
"It embodies all the things that you want your athletics department to be about,"Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger said.
The volleyball team had done more than its fair share to qualify for the award. Volunteering at soup kitchens, attending various Jayhawk home events for other programs and spending time reading to children at schools were normal activities for the volleyball
team this season.
"It's cool to know that we are recruiting kids that really care about all aspects of life as well as helping others," coach Ray Beachard said.
Outside hitter Karina Garlington, a senior from Denver, also took home the night's most prestigious award, the Robert Frederick Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year award and couldn't help but smile when being asked about the award at the conclusion of the banquet.
"Winning that award shows how hard we worked, and how much effort we put in. Competing against other teams, it's all in good fun, but it's a great award to win." Garlington said.
AYHAWK CHAMPS
— Edited by Danielle Packer
The volleyball team accepts the title of "Jayhawk CHAMPS" at the 2011 Jayhawk Senior & Scholar Athlete Banquet last night in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawk CHAMPS award was designed to reward participation in personal development opportunities and ignite healthy competition between all Jayhawk teams. Teams earn points by, among other things, attending home competitions for Jayhawk sporting events, performing community service and actively participating in the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
Jayhawks raise the bar in four track and field meets over the weekend
TRACK AND FIELD
BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com
The Kansas track and field team had a successful weekend, winning 11 events spread throughout four different meets. The majority of the team competed at the Bill Williams/ Bob Laptad Invitational at Missouri Southern University on Friday. The majority of the throwers competed
Saturday at the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawk Classic, and many jumper competed Saturday at the Drake Relays. The distance team competed at the Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.
At Missouri Southern, 18 Jayhawks placed in the top three, with five taking first. Freshman Diamond Dixon captured first
the outdoor season. Her winning height of 4.07 meters edged out freshman Demi Payne, who placed second with a 3.97 meter jump.
place in the women's 100-meter dash with a time of 11.53 seconds, her personal best. Kendra Bradley was equally impressive, winning the 400-meter dash and breaking the Fred G. Hughes Stadium record, which stood for 18 years.
Sophomore Kathryn Lapton competed in the 100-meter hurdles and the 400-meter hurdles, and was successful in both. She won the 100 hurdles and placed second in the 400 hurdles, right in front of freshman Timmie Morris. Sophomore
A week after finishing second in the pole vault at the Kansas Relays, senior Jaci Perryman broke through with her first victory of
Nick Canton was the final victorious Jayhawk at Missouri Southern, winning the high jump.
On Saturday at the Warhawk Classic in Monroe, La., sophomore Mason Finley once again led the throwers, as he placed first in both the shot put and discus throw. His winning mark in the discus of 199 feet was a personal best. Senior Scott Penny followed suit, taking first place in the hammer throw and setting a personal best of 197 feet, 4 inches.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It was the first time I think in the last 10 years that I did not have to take any melatonin, any Nyquil to go to sleep. I could finally close my eyes and realize that the person responsible for 9/11 is finally dead."
— Louisville Coach Rick Pitino, who lost his best friend and brother-in-law on 9/11
FACT OF THE DAY
— espn.com
In the aftermath of the death of Osama bin Laden, the Chicago Bulls used metal detectors to screen all patrons entering the United Center before game one of the Eastern Conference semifinal against the Atlanta Hawks.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: In 1945, on the afternoon the Japanese announced their surrender in World War II, two teams were playing baseball in New York when the news was announced. What were the teams and what was the final score of that game?

Basketball fans should embrace football
MORNING BREW
I'm a football fan. And when I came to the University two years ago, I thought I was coming to
a newly constructed football school.
A school that would have a bowl trip every year of my college career.
Obviously, I was mistaken. Kansas is a basketball school and don't get me wrong, I still get chills walking into Allen Fieldhouse and my heart still crushes with every loss, but football is my true passion.
So when I got up last Saturday at 9 a.m. to go help cover the spring game for the station where I intern, I was excited to say the least. I'd get to watch some football, shoot some highlights and work on my tan — the perfect Saturday.
When I got there, I thought the crowd was pretty decent considering that the team is coming off a hard year, but then I realized that a lot of the people who were there were alumni and their families.
When I went home, I looked on some other Big 12 schools' websites to see what their attendance was. Kansas had about 6,000 people. Our state rivals, Kansas State, beat us by more than 2,000 at 8,594 fans. This all seems like child's play when you look at Texas' spring game — 45,000 fans. I kept checking to make sure the comma was in the right place.
HOLY BLESSED THANKS FOR YOUR ELEGANT WORK
Kansas' football team is not going to have an easy season. The low attendance reminds me of last summer when our beloved Jayhawks looked like they might not have a home when the Big 12 was projected to crumble. Kansas has basketball, we all know that. Late Night At The Phog this year, the basketball equivalent to a spring game, was completely packed, but that wasn't enough to make us as attractive to the other conferences as Nebraska or Texas.
BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON
samderson@kansan.com
THE
MORNING
BREW
The reason for this is simple — money. There were two articles published on CNN.com taking information from the Department of Education on how much profit both football and basketball made. In 2010, they reported that the Kansas basketball team made $7,517,783 in profit. Not bad, right? Well, the Texas football team made $68,830,484 in the 2009-2010 school year — almost ten times as much. And Kansas was one of the schools with the bigger profits in basketball.
For Kansas to have the kind of sway that Texas had during the Big 12 negotiations, it would need decades upon decades of college football success. And judging by the empty seats in Memorial Stadium last Saturday, we aren't quite there. Looking at the schedule, our young team will have a difficult time next year.
But then again, who knows? We are in the year that the Chiefs made the playoffs and the Royals didn't ruin their chance of winning their division within the first two weeks. Anything's possible.

The two seniors leave a legacy as "models for excellence"

As seniors, the two were honored as Robert Frederick Senior Scholar Athletes of the Year at Monday night's Jayhawk Senior and Scholar Athlete Banquet at Allen Fieldhouse.
As freshmen, Tyrel Reed and Karina Garlington met during their sociology class in the fall of 2007.
After Dr. Bernie Kish, director of facilities for the School of Education, announced Garlington's name for the award, she opened her eyes widely and covered her mouth with her hand. The bitter with
1,309 career kills — the second most in Kansas volleyball history was completely shocked.
"That's the biggest honor that a student athlete at KU could have received." Garlington said.
Reed, who wore a pinstriped suit that Cole Aldrich picked out, said that the event was a great way to culminate his four years at the University.
"I don't know how deserving I am," he said. "I think I'm just a
normal kid."
He said that receiving the award at the fieldhouse and sharing the stage with Garlington made the
night that much more special.
"It's a really big university, so you don't get to know everybody," Reed said. "But I definitely know it."

Jayhawks look to pitchers to pick up their game
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor hurls the ball to home in the first innings last Thursday. The Jayhawks hope to improve their pitching in tonight's matchup with Wichita State.
The jayhawks' season tells a different story now from the one it told seven games ago. Kansas was 19-18 overall, 9-8 in conference play, and appeared to be ready for its matchup with the Big 12 leader, Texas.
The layhawks are now 20-24 overall. 9-12 in the Big 12 conference and have lost four games in a row after losing two of three against the Longhorns.
The pitching staff for Kansas must recover today and tomorrow against Wichita State, after being hit hard in the last two series.
In their last seven games, the Jayhawks have given up 45 runs, an average of 6.4 runs per game. In the three games against Texas, the starting pitchers gave up 13 of the Longhorns' 20 runs. Over the next four games though, the starting pitchers recovered and only took a minor hit to their impressive 3.82 ERA.

Duncan allowed two runs late in the Jayhawks' 5-3 loss to Creighton last Tuesday. Then on Friday, Duncan gave up a 10th-inning run, allowing Texas Tech to come away with the victory. On Sunday, Duncan gave up two seventh-inning runs in Kansas' 8-7 loss to the Red Raiders.
"I think Frank and I, and a couple of other freshman are just getting worn out," said freshman pitcher Alex Cox, who will start tonight's game."It's just from not being used to playing as many games."
The last four games though, have a different culprit for the pitching woes. The Kansas relievers have given up 14 of 25 total runs. Freshman reliever Frank Duncan has struggled lately, after being one of Kansas' top pitchers
Cox will start for the Jayhawks against the 28-19 Wichita State Shockers tonight at 6 p.m. For the Jayhawks to put a stop to their recent skid, they will have to start with pitching.
Thomas Taylor gets his turn at the mound tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in Wichita in the second game of the series. Taylor will bring a 4-3 record and an ERA of 3.58 into Wednesday's game.
"We have to attack and throw as many first strike pitches as possible," Cox said. "If we do that, we can be successful no matter who we play."
Wichita State's lineup could cause problems for Taylor and Cox. The Shockers are hitting
.289 as a team coming into this week's action. Junior infielder Chris O'Brien leads the Shockers with a batting average of .404 and seven home runs — Kansas has only one batter hitting above .300.
Senior outfielder Casey Lyle is the lone batter bringing with
an average above .300. Lytle is .26 points above the next highest Kansas batter, junior first baseman Zac Elgite.
With their lineup being inconsistent at the plate all season, the pitching got the Jayhawks through the first half of their season. To get back on track,
the pitchers must return to their early season form.
"You have to walk out the next day and flush what happened the day before," coach Ritch Price said.

COMMENTARY
President favors sports and national security
PETER C. SMITH
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
On March 15, President Barack Obama met in his office — you know, the round one, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington D.C. — with ESPN college basketball analyst Andy Katz. They spent the morning shooting the breeze and filling out a March Madness bracket, a huge poster with the presidential seal certifying that yes, indeed, the man presiding over one of the most tumultuous periods in American history spent some time talking hoops, and that this bracket was the result.
Sort of predictably, and entirely ridiculously, critics of the president jumped on the man for wasting time while the world was in chaos. There is a crippling national deficit, and there are wars in distant lands to tend to. Mr. President. You have no time to talk hoops, according to these people.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kristen Kukowski said in a statement that Obama was more concerned with his bracket than "monitoring the crisis in the Middle East," as if he would have been able to end the war by watching Al-Jazeera instead of writing Kansas six times.
On March 14, the day before he sat down with Katz to talk hoops, he sat down with his closest advisers. He was, reportedly, briefed on a potential hiding spot for September 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. It was the first of the series of discussions that would ultimately lead to bin Laden's death. What was said in that room would be discussed five more times before Sunday, May 1, but always behind closed doors, with the same ears listening.
As it turns out, the president managed to find some time to actually $ y $ be the president that week, funny enough. Somehow, spending 10 minutes filling out a bracket didn't kill his schedule for the entire week.
On Friday, April 29, Obama gave the order.
This Sunday, as a product of those closed-door talks between Obama and his advisers, Navy SEAL Team Six — which one television pundit called "the most dangerous people on the face of the earth" — infiltrated a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, engaged in a firefight, and took down the deadliest terrorist of the 21st century. Because the president and his advisers had so carefully planned the infiltration of bin Laden's compound, and because of the exquisite precision of the SEALs, the entire operation took 40 minutes.
It was the finest moment in American military history since the end of World War II. It may have been better, because it didn't take two atomic bombs. It took a well-placed bullet from the rifle of a Navy SEAL. No Americans were killed.
No Americans were killed, and Osama bin Laden was, and the president managed to fill out a March Madness bracket.
What a wonderful country this is.

MEDICAL HARVEST
New garden brings beauty, health
IANS
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN
jshorman@kansan.com
Marijana didn't make the cut this time, but nearly everything else did.
On Tuesday, the School of Pharmacy is planting a new medicinal garden south of their building on West Campus. Ken Audus, the current dean of the school, said that the first dean, Lucius Sayre, included the cannabis plant in the school's original garden in 1920. Marijuana was legal in the United States until 1937.
The new garden will recreate the original garden, except for marijuana, and also add dozens of species. In total, around 70 species will be planted.
Sayre, a faculty member in the schoolfrom 1885 to 1925, planted the original garden on the south slope of Mount Oread near today's Budig Hall, according to a news release.
The garden will contain five separate beds that will group together the different species. One of the beds will hold plants found in the original garden, while a second will hold plants listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary, which sets standards for drug substances and medicine. A third will hold scented plants and a fourth will hold milkweeds.

The fifth bed will hold plants in the genus Echinacea, a flower in the daisy family, widely used for medicinal purposes.
Left ro right: Felicia Seller, first-year pharmacy student from Clearwater, Jackie Bernick, first-year pharmacy student from St. Paul, Minn., and Luanna Bailey, first-year pharmacy student from El Dorado, plant the medicinal garden Tuesday afternoon
"This really is the crown jewel that is at the root, literally, of historical pharmaceutical compounds," said Jim Gray, with Heartland Plant Innovations, a company that partnered with the University on the garden.
Gray said the plants in the garden would not only help in the development of pharmaceuticals, but might also have nutritional applications.
Around 100 people gathered Tuesday afternoon to help plant the garden, following a short ceremony. Audus said the garden would be dedicated in June.

Making the most of a college career
When Tonia Salas reflects on her time at the University of Kansas, one experience sticks out in her mind. Her eyes light up and her smile widens. She wouldn't trade it for anything.
HOPET ROCURATION STUDIO
Salas, a senior from Alameda, Calif., became involved with KU Dance Marathon her sophomore year at the University. The organization quickly became one of her biggest passions.
"It is really close to my heart" Salas said.
Administrators have noticed Salas' dedication to KU Dance Marathon. Her involvement resulted in Salas winning the prestigious Ex.C.E.L. Award in fall of 2010. Every year, the Ex.C.E.L Award is given to two seniors who demonstrate excellence in community, education and leadership.

senior year as the director of business operations.
"I had the benefit of seeing these kids grow and have grown close to their families," Salas said. "You can't really ever turn your back on them once you start."
KU Dance Marathon is a student-run, nonprofit organization that raises money for the Children's Miracle Network and donates to KU Pediatrics.
Howard Ting/KANSAN
Salas participated in the event as a sophomore and fell in love with the mission and the dedication of the students involved. As a junior, she worked as the assistant director for recruitment and spent her
After not getting involved in many activities in high school, Salas decided to make her mark in college.
Students work to raise money for the organization and then stay up for one night playing games and participating in activities. Children from the hospitals also attend the event with their families.
"The idea is that we stand for 12 hours so that one day the kids can stand with us," Salas said.
In addition to KU Dance Marathon, Salas served as a student senator during her time at Kansas. She is also a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and has served on the standards board and as a recruitment counselor.
The lighting project will provide lighted pathways from downtown to campus, beginning at South Park and following 12th Street to Louisiana Street. The total cost of this project is expected to surpass $500,000, but with previous investments of the city and University, this could be the final push to begin construction.
"I wanted to establish roots,' Salas said.
"My goal is just to continually impact people," Salas said. "I think once I stop with that there's really no purpose for me."
In fall 2010, Salas was selected as a KU Woman of Distinction for her involvement in the community and her service. In spring 2011, Salas received the Alexis Dillard Student Involvement Chancellor's Award.
Salas plans to head to North Carolina next year for graduate school. She will be taking classes at North Carolina State University and working in leadership development at the University of North Carolina. Salas wants to pursue a career in higher education administration, she said, and hopes someday to become a chancellor.
Although she aspirates to excel in higher education administration, Salas' goals ultimately don't boil down to titles and recognition.
The pathway will provide a safely lit route from downtown to campus for students in hopes of

University cautions students abroad
IAN CUMMINGS
The Office of Study Abroad sent an email Monday asking University students enrolled in its programs to follow the recommendations of a worldwide travel alert issued by the U.S. Department of State.
The department's message closely followed the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and warned of potential anti-American violence. It advises Americans traveling abroad to be informed about local conditions, maintain a low profile and avoid large groups of tourists.
The message from the Office of Study Abroad said that it had not canceled any programs but was monitoring events closely and that students should contact program coordinators to confirm their contact information. Students traveling away from their program sites, the
message said, could register their travel plans at the Department of State's website.

California official challenges Proposition 8
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANCISCO
SAN FRANCISCO California's attorney general has again come out against the state's same-sex marriage ban, this time telling the state Supreme Court the proponents of successful ballot initiatives do not have the right to defend their measures in court.
Kamala Harris, a Democrat who succeeded Gov. Jerry Brown in January as attorney general, submitted an amicus brief Monday in the ongoing legal dispute over the voter-approved ban known as Proposition 8.
In it, she argued that only public officials exercising the executive power of government have authority to represent the state when laws passed by voters or the Legislature are challenged.
"California law affords an initiative's proponents no right to defend the validity of a successful initiative measure based only on their role in launching an initiative
process," Harris wrote.
The question of where the role of ballot measure backers ends is critical to the legal fight over California's ban on same-sex marriages. Both Brown and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to defend the 2008 constitutional amendment on appeal after a federal judge struck it down last summer as a violation of civil rights.
Proposition 8' s sponsors asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to allow them to step in, but the court punted the question to the California Supreme Court earlier this year, saying it was a matter of state law.
If the sponsors are not permitted to intervene, the lower court ruling overturning Proposition 8 will stand.
initiative proponents need to be allowed to advocate for laws in court to prevent elected officials from effectively vetting measures by not defending them in court.
Lawyers for the coalition of religious and conservative groups that qualified the gay marriage measure for the ballot and campaigned for its passage have argued that
Harris contended in her brief that rather than empowering citizens, granting the sponsors of initiatives the ability to overrule the governor and attorney general's judgment "would rob the electors of power by taking the executive power from elected officials and placing it instead in the hands of a few highly motivated but politically unaccountable individuals."
The California Supreme Court is expected to hold a hearing in the case before the end of the year.
Republican State Sen. Tom Harman of Orange County introduced a bill that would grant ballot measure sponsors the right to represent the state when elected officials refuse to defend enacted laws in court. The Senate Judiciary Committee defeated it on a 3-2 vote Tuesday.

Student group advocates for animal rights awareness
BY KIM SCHERMAN editor@kansan.com
Parendi Birdie felt out of place surrounded by hundreds of activists at an animal rights awareness conference in Ohio in fall 2009. Birdie, a lifelong vegan, had never seen so many people who cared about animals the way she did. But although Birdie was passionate about animals, she had never been an activist for animal rights.
"It shook up my world," Birdie said. "Thousands of animals' lives had been saved because of the work of the people who were sitting around me. I decided I wanted to be one of those people."
During the course of the conference, she became motivated to found an animal rights group at the University of Kansas in order to teach students and the broader KU community about the importance of eating ethically.
In Fall 2010, she founded animal rights activist and vegetarian support group, Compassion for All Animals. Now, seven core members of CAA work toward an increased awareness of a vegetarian lifestyle by passing out literature about being cruelty-free and coordinating speeches and potlucks at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
"The group is not necessarily about being a vegetarian," Birdie said. "It is about compassion. There are people who are definitely not vegetarian, people who are hard-core vegan and people all along the spectrum."
Birdie said she has had tremendous success educating the members of CAA. She said she has seen many people who were semi-vegetarian when they joined the group and became vegans after coming to the meetings and talking to the other members.
"I had never really thought about the connection of the meat industry to egg and cheese products," said Cassandra Smyers, a vegan and member of CAA. "When I found out dairy cows contribute to the veal industry, and chickens are treated just as inhumanely as cows used for beef, I decided I didn't want to contribute to that anymore."
CAA is not the only animal rights group seeing results in raised awareness of the benefits of a veg-
eatarian or vegan lifestyle. A study by the Philadelphia Inquirer found that the percentage of vegetarian college students in the United States has increased 50 percent from eight percent in 2005-2006 to 12 percent in 2009-2010. According to author Jonathan Safran Foer, the percentage is even higher, with 18 percent of college students who categorize themselves as vegetarians. The Philadelphia Inquirer studied the number of vegan students has increased as well, from one percent of students being vegan on campuses to two percent.
This means that, of the 28,414 students enrolled at the University in Spring 2010, approximately 3,410 students were vegetarian and 568 were vegan, an increase from approximately 2,240 vegetarians and 280 vegans in Spring 2006.
Whether students choose to eliminate meat from their diet to fight for animal rights, do something good for their health or save the environment, they are able to decrease meat consumption at universities and increase demand for vegetarian options.
"I became vegetarian after 1 went to India." Monica Melhem, a junior from Manhattan, said of her study abroad trip in Summer 2010. "There were many vegetarians and vegetarian options, and the people were very respectful toward the animals. That turned me away from meat."
Although vegetarianism is not necessarily a trend associated with younger age groups, a study conducted by the Vegetarian Resource Group found that Americans ages 18 to 35 accounted for 42 percent of the six to eight million vegetarians in 2008. The results also found that more than half of all vegetarians were avoiding meat to improve their health.
Jessie Coviello, a junior from Center Moriches, N.Y., said she decided to switch to a vegan diet because her cholesterol was out of control.
"In my 20s, I found out my cholesterol was astronomically high," she said. "I lived in a New York Italian family, so every meal, no matter what it was, was meat, pasta and cheese. I noticed that every person in my family over the age of 25 either was dead from heart disease or had heart disease. That's when I cut meat out of my diet."
Others turn to vegetarianism for environmental, food safety, weight loss and animal welfare reasons. Of all vegetarians surveyed in the Vegetarian Resource Group's study, 47 percent said they followed a vegetarian diet for the environment.
This increase in vegetarianism across the country has affected vegetarian food sales. Forbes Magazine estimated that sales have doubled in the last decade, to $1.6 billion in 2003. Sales were expected to rise another 61 percent by 2008, according to Forbes. But the members of CAA say there still aren't enough options on campus specifically for vegans.
To increase vegetarian and vegan options on campus, CAA has been working with KU Dining Services to incorporate more vegetarian and vegan-friendly initiatives. They had a display about the group and vegetarianism in the Kansas Union and planned to design table tents and brochures for the students to look at while eating. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals came to campus from April 13 to April 15 to advise members of CAA on outreach strategies. While at the University, PETA members helped CAA talk to students at the Kansas Union and write a petition to give to KU Dining Services to promote increasing vegetarian and vegan food on campus.
"Many people see vegetarians as being radical and idealistic," Smyers, a senior from Lawrence, said. "Being a vegan to someone on the outside is all about restrictions, but it's really all about what you want to eat."
"A big part of vegetarianism to me is opening your heart and respecting all kinds of life and going into the world with kindness," Birdie said. "I feel that if you are eating less meat, that openness is there."
Students don't have to be members of an animal rights group to support vegetarianism. A free vegan meal is offered at the ECM to KU students, faculty, staff and Lawrence residents. Most of the people who attend are not vegetarian or vegan—they are omnivores who appreciate a free meal. But the attendance may prove that even non-vegans and non-vegetarians are open to new diet options.

U.S. government sues Duetsche Bank for more than $386 million
NEW YORK — The federal government sued Deutsche Bank Tuesday, saying the bank committed fraud and padded its pocket with undeserved income as it repeatedly lied so it could benefit from a government program that insured mortgages.
The lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan seeks to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance claims that the government has had to pay when homeowners defaulted on their mortgages. The lawsuit also asked for punitive damages. The government said the bank made substantial profits between 2007 and 2009 from the resale of the risky mortgages, leaving the government to foot the bill for loans that defaulted. The mortgage insurance is issued by the Federal Housing Administration.
The lawsuit said the bank car
ried out the fraud through its subsidiary, MortgageIT, which employed more than 2,000 people at branches in all 50 states. Deutsche acquired MortgageIT in 2007.
At a news conference, U.S Attorney Preet Bharara said the bank "repeatedly and brazenly" engaged in a pattern of reckless lending practices for mortgages "that were really ticking time bombs," sometimes failing even to verify that a mortgage applicant had a job.
"In fact, they often seemed to treat red flags as if they were green lights," he said.
Still, the prosecutor said the government found no evidence of the criminal intent necessary to take the case beyond a civil lawsuit.
spokeswoman Renee Calabro said the bank had received the complaint and was reviewing it.
"Every lie is not a crime," he said.
"We believe the claims against MortgageIT and Deutsche Bank are unreasonable and unfair, and we intend to defend against the action vigorously," she said.
In a statement, Deutsche
Calabro said nearly 90 percent of the activity described in the lawsuit occurred before Deutsche Bank acquired MortgageT, which had been an FHA lender operating with government oversight for almost a decade.
Since last fall, federal regulators and attorneys general of all 50 states have been investigating lenders accused of cutting corners and using flawed documents to foreclose on many homeowners. In some cases, employees of financial institutions engaged in so-called robo-signing — approving documents in foreclosures without actually reading them.
Foreclosure-fraud class-action lawsuits are also piling up against major banks nationwide.

Housing and Urban Development has paid out in FHA insurance claims and related costs arising out of MortgageIT's approval of more than 3,100 mortgages, among 1,400 loans that have defaulted so far. It said HUD had paid more than $97 million in FHA claims and related
costs arising out of more than 600 mortgages that defaulted within six months.
gram, including requirements relating to the adequacy of the borrower's income to meet mortgage payments, the borrower's creditworthiness and the appropriateness of the valuation of the property being purchased.
The lawsuit said Deutsche Bank and MortgageIT failed to comply with HUD rules and regulations regarding required quality control procedures, and then lied about their purported compliance.
The government said the quality control violations were egregious, including the failure to review all early payment defaults and to implement minimal quality control processes.
The lawsuit noted that MortgageI T hired an outside vendor, Tena Companies Inc., to conduct quality control reviews of closed FHA-insured loans in 2004 but then never read letters that Tena wrote identifying serious underwriting violations.
"Instead, MortgageIT employees stuffed the letters, unopened and unread, in a closet in MortgageIT's Manhattan headquarters," the lawsuit said.

Sizing it up for 'Thor' comics hero
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Turning your body into that of a god is a weird process.
Chris Hemsworth knows. Once he was tapped to play the title character in "Thor," opening Friday, the Australian actor threw himself into a body-building regimen that would transform his solid but unspectacular physique into one worthy of a Marvel superhero.
pretty active, but nothing on this scale.
"I don't naturally have the kind of weight Thor has," Hemsworth said. "I ate tons of protein. Worked on a lot. I've always been
"It's deceptive. It's such a slow process that when you look in the mirror every day you don't realize the subtle changes. Everyone else around me was saying, 'Oh, my God, you're huge.' And I'm looking in the mirror and thinking, 'It's not working. I've got to eat more!"
In fact, Hemsworth said, he went a bit too far.
"I put on too much muscle. A few days before shooting was to begin we realized none of my costumes fit. I had to crash diet just to squeeze into them."
Hemsworth, 27, said that playing a comic-book hero has special challenges. Foremost among them is ensuring that Thor's human side is as compelling as the action and special effects.
Sent to Earth, he must create a new life surrounded by mortals
Grounding "Thor" was director Kenneth Branagh and a supporting cast that included Oscar winner Natalie Portman, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Stevenson and Rene Russo.
"Marvel is such a sleek machine that we knew the special-effects side was already taken care of," Hemsworth said.
"Our big focus was on how to make Thor relatable," Hemsworth say. "These are gods speaking to each other, but on the other hand, these are fathers and sons, brothers. We can all relate to that."
WEDNESDAY SPECIAL
While he's best known for filming Shakespeare classics like "Henry V," "Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing." Branagh grew up reading The Mighty Thor comic books, Hemsworth said.

"So, really, he became the perfect blend of fan and careful filmmaker," Hemsworth said. "He knows story and character development. He certainly knows how to assemble a production. With a film like this it's too easy to get lost in the effects, but Ken was all about story, character, the relationships."

A native of Melbourne, Hemsworth grew up in a nonshow biz family. But clearly, there is some sort of thespian gene in the Hemsworth blood line. Both of his brothers are actors. Liam was in the Nicolas Cage sleeper hit "Knowing," appeared in "The Last Song" (and dated co-star Miley Cyrus) and has a big role in next year's much-anticipated "The Hunger Games." Luke is a familiar face on Australian television dramas.

For Hemsworth, it has been mostly ups. He played Captain Kirk's father, George, in J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" reboot. He has already completed the thriller "The Cabin in the Woods" (based on a Joss Whedon script) and a remake of the Cold War action pic "Red Dawn."
"I had the perfect introduction with 'Star Trek' — a small role in a big, successful movie. There really wasn't much pressure there, and it got me ready for 'Thor.' I'm a bit nervous, sure, but my excitement overrides my trepidation."

Plastic is bad for our environment and bodies
ENVIRONMENT
Last night I happened to catch the documentary "Bag It" on PBS. The film takes a look at how plastic is impacting our environmental and personal health. At first, I was inclined to change the channel. I mean, we've all heard about the millions of plastic bags we throw away every day and the Texas-sized patches of garbage floating in the Pacific. We've seen the pictures of taco-shaped sea turtles and plastic-wrapped seals.
So I thought I knew everything about plastic, but it turns out I didn't.
Like most people, I am very aware of how harmful plastic is to our ecosystems. I try to remember my reusable grocery bags and coffee cups when I head out the door. I try to recycle the plastic that I can't avoid using, and I repeatedly vow that I will never buy bottled water again. We all want to be environmentally responsible, but sometimes it's hard when plastic is so convenient.

According to "Bag It," there are now more tiny bits of plastic floating in the ocean than plankton. And because the plastic and the plankton look so similar, the marine animals are eating it. Fish, birds, seals, turtles and whales are all dying with bellies tightly packed with plastic. It was shocking to see a turtle's stomach full of slimy strings of blue and pink plastic bags.
It's sickening to know that our convenient take out bag is endangering 260 species of marine animals, but what really got
my attention is what plastic is doing to us.
None of us would willingly eat a plastic bag or consume a water bottle, but we actually ingest the chemical building blocks of plastic every day. Two of the most widely used chemicals, bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, have been found to cause endocrine disruption.
This means that women are becoming more hormonally male and guys are becoming more hormonally female. According to the "Bag It" website, "recent studies have linked BPA to breast and prostate cancer, enlargement of the prostate, early onset of puberty, hyperactivity in children, obesity, heart disease and diabetes." Phthalates also impact our hormone levels and, according to the documentary, "studies have found low levels of phthalates to cause infertility, lower sperm count and smaller penis size."
The most frustrating part of this situation is that companies profiting from
the plastics industry lobby tirelessly to make sure they don't have to warn the public or even list these chemicals on packaging. The chemical phthalates is conveniently labeled "fragrance" on many of our personal care products like lotions, shampoos, makeup and hair products. According to "Bag It," this is most dangerous for the infants and toddlers playing with plastic toys, using plastic bottles and drinking BPA-lined tins of formula. These companies are knowingly doing us harm and working hard to keep us uninformed. The crazy thing is we are paying them to do it every time we buy their products. Check out the movie at bagitmovie.com. You might learn something new about the harmful side effects of using plastic. I know I did.

Letter to the Editor Bin Laden's death isn't a time for cheer
I am conflicted with confusing emotions. It is hard for me to understand the celebration of death in any circumstance. I am sickened by the elation and joy bin Laden's death brings to so many people.
Is this not the exact emotion this hateful man must have felt when he watched the Twin Towers fall? To be able to revel in another's death is a terribly depressing concept, a defeat for humanity. I do realize that bin Laden's death is symbolic for many people. People feel as though justice has been served for the thousands of lives lost due to this man's heinous actions.
I hope people are able to reflect silently upon this, and I am happy for any solace or peace this brings to a hurting nation. However, I will never advocate celebrating death. I strongly support patriotism and believe in the fundamental values America has built itself upon, but I hope we as a nation do not use bin Laden's death to promote misguided patriotism. We already have a fragile reputation in many parts of the world and do not need to flaunt arrogant or ignorant
attitudes and further tarnish this reputation.
The kind of gloating exhibited by many citizens across our nation will only further add fuel to the fire of hate. We have killed one man — his ideologies still persist. So rather than celebrating his death and fanning the flames of hate that live on with his lasting ideologies, let us use this significant time in history to educate ourselves. Understand that his actions affected far more people than just Americans.
Rather than celebrate the symbolic death of bin Laden, celebrate the symbolic new beginning in the Arab world. Do not be consumed with hate; rather, strive to understand and promote peace. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr.: "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Drone missions counter-productive in war on terror
Since 2002, the U.S. has been using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, also called "drone's") to target and kill its enemies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and now Libya. This method of warfare has been controversial. People argue that it violates the laws of war, international human rights law and U.S. law. The Obama Administration is unmoved by these concerns; the frequency of UAV strikes has actually increased.
I won't debate here the legality of killing suspected militants beyond the traditional battlefield. It is an issue that deserves discussion, but today I want to focus on UAVs' place in U.S. counterterrorism strategy. That strategy, according to White House documents, has two central prongs. One is the use of military force in Afghanistan and Pakistan to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" al-Qaida and its affiliates. The other is to facilitate economic development in those countries and thereby minimize the conditions that foster extremism. Using UAVs under the first part of this strategy is undermining U.S. success in the second.
UAV strikes in Pakistan killed between 1,459 and 2,319 people in Pakistan since 2004. About 20 percent of
FUJIYA EIKO
BY HANNAH SANDAL

Most UAV strikes occur in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), a poor area lacking jobs, schools, health care and opportunities. In a recent opinion poll there, 76 percent of respondents opposed the UAV attacks in FATA. 81 percent thought that the strikes killed civilians. Although most respondents opposed suicide bombing in general, 59 percent said such attacks against the U.S. military may be justified.
those were non-militant civilians. As Pakistani officials have warned, there is a risk that citizens who have lost loved ones in the strikes will resort to extreme measures in retaliation.
The U.S. government has recognized that poverty creates conditions ripe for extremism. It has committed to addressing the causes of poverty in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. Security Strategy
(2010) aims to provide "substantial assistance for development to meet the needs of the Pakistani people." The explicit purpose of this aid is to "contrast al-Qaida's intent to destroy with our constructive vision," by working with "Muslim communities around the world on behalf of health, education, science, employment and innovation... security and opportunity." Seventy-two percent of those FATA poll respondents said that if the U.S. swapped UAV strikes for development aid their opinion of the U.S. would improve.
Yet, the UAV strikes destroy. They undermine that essential pillar of counterterrorism: economic development. As the former director-general of the World Trade Organization has observed, where there is progress and hope, there is much less fertile ground for the seeds of fanaticism. Pakistani officials have said that UAV strikes are impeding economic development and making it more difficult to fight terrorism. It certainly isn't improving public perception of the U.S. And as the government and people of Pakistan become more hostile to the U.S. activities there, opportunities to bridge the divides between our countries may disappear.
If FATA residents' views are at all representative of views in the larger region, it is apparent that the U.S. is losing its struggle against extremism and the terrorism it produces. Dismayingly, few poll respondents believed the U.S. "war on terror" was about terrorism. Seventy-nine percent thought the U.S. had ulterior motives, including dividing and weakening the Islamic world, waging a war on Islam, capturing oil reserves, and ensuring American domination.
Of 23 strikes in 2011 (so far), none have killed militant leaders. I am not arguing that UAVs should be banned or that they are never useful. I do argue that the strikes are now hurting more than helping. The U.S. should start focusing on changing the conditions that foster extremist and anti-American attitudes. And it should stop activities like UAV strikes, which foster resentment and plant the seeds of hate.
The number of deaths from UAV strikes in Pakistan comes from Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann's drones database at the New America Foundation, which can be found at www.Newamerica.net.

Boy Scouts make the best out of rescue wait
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chester Stutes hugs his grandson, Caleb Stutes, 14, as he arrives at St. Edmond Catholic Church in Lafayette, La. on Tuesday. A National Guard helicopter rescued the six stranded Louisiana Boy Scouts from a southwest Arkansas forest Tuesday morning. The helicopter crew spotted a campfire and some of the Scouts overnight Monday, then headed out again at first light. The boys and two adult leaders had been missing since Sunday, when rising water cut off their exit from the Albert Pike Recreation Area.
LANGLEY, Ark. — In the same remote valley where 20 people died in a flash flood last summer, six Louisiana Boy Scouts trapped by a rising river built a campfire and ate jambalaya and grits, confident that rescuers would eventually arrive.

The boys' two adult leaders had them set up camp near a mountain they could climb if their trail flooded — one of a series of decisions that allowed the group to emerge unharmed from the Albert Pike Recreation Area in southwest Arkansas. Rescuers also praised them for good planning, leaving a map of their planned trek and avoiding the valley floor when they realized how deep and fast the river had grown.

The Scouts themselves said there was no reason to worry.
After eating jambalaya, eggs and grits Sunday, the boys had only one meal of jambalaya Monday. But Robinson said they had enough food to last several days, a water filter and a dry camp.
The boys said they passed the time in between talking and sleeping in. With no cell phone service available, several said their biggest concern was what their parents were thinking.

Troop 162 was reported missing when it didn't return home Monday as planned, and anxious parents and relatives drove up from Lafayette, La. Search teams on the ground couldn't find the boys, and rain and fog prevented a helicopter from doing a flyover.
The Scouts were found early Tuesday when the weather improved enough for a National Guard helicopter to make it into the park and spot their campfire.

Witness helps Kansas man accused in Rwandan killing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A former neighbor of a Kansas man accused of participating in the 1994 Rwandan genocide testified 'Tuesday that he never saw the man at any of the ethnic killings in the area where they lived.
Jean-Marie Byiringiro took the stand during the third day of testimony in the U.S. immigration trial of Lazare Kobagaya. Byiringiro, who admitted killing a 12-year-old Tutsi boy in exchange for a goat as part of the genocide, said he was at nearly all of the ethnic killings in the area where he and Kobagaya lived.
The arsons and killings related to Kobagavas's case allegedly occurred in a rural community known as Birambo, where Kobagaya and his family lived at the time, as well as
Kobagaya, 84, is in a federal courtroom in Kansas fighting charges of unlawfully obtaining U.S. citizenship in 2006 with fraud and misuse of an alien registration card. The government, which is seeking to revoke his citizenship, contends he lied to U.S. immigration authorities about his involvement in the genocide. Kobagaya contends he is innocent.
at Mount Nyakizu, where thousands of Tutsis had sought refuge.
The government contends Kobagaya was a wealthy and influential leader who incited the arsons and killings in his community, along with Francois Bazaramba, a former Rwandan pastor who was sentenced last year to life imprisonment by a Finnish court for committing genocide against the Tutsi minority in 1994.
Most of Byiringiro's testimony implicated Bazaramba, not Kobagaya. In fact, Byiringiro, who served seven years in prison for his role in the genocide, told jurors that Kobagaya, a Hutu born in neighboring Burundi, did not have any power in the community because he was a refugee in Rwanda.
An estimated 500,000 to 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda between April and July 1994. Most of the dead belonged to an ethnic group known as the Tutsi, while most of the killings were carried out by members of an ethnic group known as the Hutu.
When a mob gathered at Bazaramba's house before the homes of Tutsis were set on fire on April 15, 1994, Byirigiro said, Kobagaya came out of his house only because people were in front of
it. It was Bazaramba who spoke to the crowd, Byiringiro said. During the speech, Bazaramba called on Kobagaya to explain to the crowd that the Tutsis were bad people.
Byiringiro said through a translator that Kobagaya did tell people that "we did not know the badness of the Tutis" and that if they didn't kill them, the Tutis would kill the Hutus. However, Byiringiro told the jury he did not see Kobagaya join the rest of the crowd of more than 100 people in the arsons.
On Tuesday, defense attorney Kurt Kerns questioned Murindangabo, a former teacher who has served more than 10 years in prison for his role in the genocide, about an eight-page government form he had filled out as part of his own confession.
His testimony came a day after another neighbor, Valens Murindangabo, testified that Kobagaya told the mob to burn down the houses of Tutsis so they would not return and ordered the killings of others.
of his own confession. Murindangabo insisted an attachment had been lost that listed Kobagaya as participating in the genocide.

A late 14-0 run lifts Miami Heat past Boston Celtics. 102-91
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James walked toward Mario Chalmers in the final minute with a content look.
He punched his teammate twice in the chest. Fitting, because James and the Miami Heat have now landed two blows against the Boston Celtics.
James scored 24 of his 35 points in the second half, Dwyane Wade added 28 and the Heat used a late 14-0 run to pull away and beat the Celtics 102-91 in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night.
Chris Bosh finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds for Miami, which leads the best-of-seven 2-0.
pair of free throws by Paul Pierce with 7:10 left. The Celtics missed their next six shots and Miami pulled away, taking command of both the game and the series — which doesn't resume in Boston until Saturday night.
Bostop tied the game at 80 on a
Jeff Green scored 11 and Delonte West added 10 for the Celtics, who got only seven from Ray Allen on 2 for 7 shooting.
Even for a franchise with such fabled history as the Celtics, an 0-2 deficit represents a colossal challenge.
Rajon Rondo scored 20 points and added 12 assists for Boston, which got 16 points from Kevin Garnett and 13 from Pierce.
This is now the ninth time Boston has dropped the first two games in
a best-of-seven series. In the previous eight, the Celtics prevailed only against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1969 NBA finals.
And it's something this group of Celtics have never faced before, either.
The last time Boston lost the first two games of a playoff matchup was in 2004, when it was swept by Indiana. The current core of Celtics had lost Game 1s four other times before this series, then bounced back to win Game 2 each time, against Chicago and Orlando in 2009, then Cleveland and the Lakers in 2010.
Not this time.
To win this series, Boston will need to prevail four times in a five-game span — which it did in the first round
against Miami last year, then again in the second round at the expense of James and the Cavaliers in the East semis. So it can be done, but neither James (7-0) nor Wade (5-0) has ever been part of a playoff series defeat after their clubs won the first two games.
The Celtics had more than a chance to avoid the 0-2 hole, as they knotted the game at 80 with a 13-6 run in the fourth quarter.
That's when Miami's big run began, including a three-point play where James dunked and got fouled after Joel Anthony kept an offensive rebound alive and helped put away the Celtics.

Back to victory on home turf against Shockers

It's difficult to gauge just how pivotal the Kansas baseball team's 7-4 victory against Wichita State was last night. It carried no weight in conference standings and it was just one game in a long season, but it isn't a stretch to say that a loss could have sent the inexperienced, arguably overachieving team into a tailspin.
Kansas returned home from a deflating series sweep at the hands of Texas Tech after the team played well enough to win same or two but had nothing
to show for it. They lost in the bottom of the ninth Sunday in Lubbock, Tex., and carried a four-game losing streak into Hoglund Ballpark for the lone home
Tonight, the team takes on Wichita State again — this time on the road — before continuing south for a weekend series against a formidable Oklahoma team. Follow that with a mid-week road game in Little Rock, Ark., and a loss last night could have been a treacherous one.
coach Ritch Price said. "We had to stop the bleeding."
For a team that is 4-12 on the road, snapping the losing streak was all-important.
"We don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves. We've got to move forward."
But as the team has done throughout the year, they won at home when they most needed to.
game in a nine-game stretch.
"We found a way to win and we flushed what happened Sunday, and that was really important."
JAKE MARASCO
Sophomore third baseman
There's something about playing on the astroturf at Hog l u n d Ballpark that gives life to Kansas, which moved to 15-9 in home games this season.
For a game built so much in repetition,
playing in the comfort of its own yard seems to bring out the good side of the team.
"Baseball is a game of routine."
sophomore third baseman Jake Marasco said. "Being back at home, everything just seems a little bit more normal."
It took being back in that routine for the Jayhawks to straighten things out. Freshman pitcher
Alex Cox threw five-plus innings, allowing two earned runs on eight hits.
Cox kept Wichita State scoreless until Marasco's two-out double in the fourth inning plated
"We found a way to win and we flushed what happened Sunday."
The team is well aware that as every game holds more weight and each one becomes the biggest game of the season, every victory will come tougher. And in the Big 12, there are no consolation prizes, which is why the team sim-

two for Kansas and broke the game open.
"We've been struggling with two out hits," senior shortstop Brandon Macias said. "Jake came through big time and got everything going."
While the victory was vital, the team must still figure out the road troubles, especially if any type of post-season awaits them. The team now has 11 games left on the schedule, six of which come on the road.
has to win
"I'm pleased we're growing up," Price said. "We're making really good progress, but our league is one of the two best leagues in America. That's the reality of it."
Marasco agreed and said a short memory would be important for the Jayhawks.
"You have to erase what happened this weekend," Marasco said of the tough series sweep at Texas Tech. "We don't have any time to feel sorry about ourselves. We've got to move forward."

MORNING BREW
Amid tragedy, sports unify America
On Sunday night, in the top of the ninth inning of the Phillies-Mets game, jubilant
cheers of "U.S.A." burst out throughout Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia. The fans were reacting to the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. Even just watching the highlight sends chills down my spine because it reminds me of how sports unite our country.
PARKS
The game matched two division rivals at opposite ends of the spectrum: the Phillies, tied for first in the division and less than three years removed from their most recent World Series victory, and the Mets, sitting in the cellar of the National League East with worries about the financial stability of their owners. But at that moment, as everyone in the stadium broke out in a cheer, team affiliation didn't matter.

THE
MORNING
BREW
My thoughts keep circling to how Americans turned to sports after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The National Football League canceled games the following weekend to give the country time to mourn. But what I remember most was the Super Bowl that followed.
How fitting was it that a team called the Patriots won that year? The Patriots went into the game unheralded. No one expected them to topple the Rams,
the offensive juggernaut that was the greatest show on turf. But the Patriots did win with a hard nosed defense that any American could identify with and a second-year quarterback who started the season so low on the depth chart that he wasn't even included on his team's roster for that season's Madden video game.
Later this year, on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the NFL has scheduled a game between the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants, teams from two of the cities targeted in the 9/11 attacks.
it at least a hundred times growing up. Then the movie "Miracle" came out and immortalized the event on the silver screen.
Sometimes it's the sports themselves that give us something to rally around. I wasn't around for the 1980 Olympics' "miracle on ice," but I must have watched the HBO documentary about
Any time an American has a chance to achieve any feat of athletic prowess, we give them our support. I remember huddling around a TV in a friend's basement with 15 others to watch Michael Phelps win his record eighth gold medal in 2008.
When it comes down to it, sports are just games. But in the U.S. we are lucky to have sports that bring us together as a nation.

Jayhawks on the rebound
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
For the Jayhawks, the little plays made the biggest difference in last night's 7-4 victory against Wichita State.
Senior right fielder Casey Lytle made a game-saving catch for Kansas (21-24), with the bases loaded and only one out for Wichita State (28-20) in the seventh inning.
The Shockers had cut a 6-0 Kansas lead to 7-3, and as a deep fly ball bellowed toward the right field fence, it appeared the Shockers were going take an even bigger chunk out of the Jayhawks
lead. Lytle then stretched his shoulder as far out as it could go, while diving to make the catch, only allowing one run to score off the sacrifice fly.
"I told everybody in the dugout they needed to touch Lytle when he came back in," coach Ritch Price said. "The guy probably gets to third if he falls down and doesn't catch the ball. It could have been 7-7."
At the plate, Kansas smacked eight singles — often in bunches — and moved its runners over throughout the game, giving them three more runs than the Shockers, even though they were out-hit 11 to 10.
"We managed to get hits at cru
cial times", senior designated hitter Jake Marasco said. "You win games with back-to-back hits".
Following Jimmy Waters' lead-off walk in the fourth inning, junior catcher James Stanfield hit a single to left from a defensive swing on a perfectly executed hit and run, moving Waters to third. Stanfield then stole second base, enabling him to score off a double that jake Marasco hit into the gap in right-center, giving Kansas a 2-1 lead.
"That's one thing we've been struggling with — two-out hits," senior shortstop Brandon Macias said. "Jake came through big time with two outs and got everything going."
With runners then on first and second, junior first baseman Zac Elgie loaded the bases with a perfectly placed bunt down the third baseline — a rarity for the 6-foot-2, 200-pound power hitter.
The Jayhawks then opened the fifth by loading the bases with no outs off of two singles and sophomore third baseman Jordan Dreiling getting hit by a pitch. Waters then broke the game open by hitting a line drive single to center field that scored two.
"We had three sacrifice bunt opportunities Sunday that we didn't get down," Price said. "We actually worked on it today before the game, and re-emphasized it to those guys that are supposed to
be successful with it. It's got to be a part of our offense, especially with the home run being taken out of college baseball with the bat change."
The Jayhawks continued with their small bat ways in the fifth, scoring another run off a ground-out and one more from a sacrifice fly.
The 6-0 lead built by stringing hits together proved to be too much for the Shockers to handle. Kansas now travels to Wichita tonight, in a 6:30 game two showdown with the Shockers.

BOXING
Welterweight champion visits Lawrence
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Ortiz grew up in Garden City. He followed the Jayhawks for years and would have attended the University of Kansas for college, but life took him down another path.
A 5-year-old Victor "Vicious" Ortiz looked down at his wristwatch, a gift from his big sister. There was a Jayhawk in the middle and a basketball on the second hand that rotated around the face. Ortiz fell in love with the bird on his watch.
Professional boxer and the current WBC Weatherlord Champion Victor Ortz, left, meets with City Commissioner Hugh Carter, right, Tuesday evening at 23rd Street Brewery, Ortiz, a Garden City native, will be going up against Flood Mawveater on September 16th.
Twenty years after receiving his wristwatch, he wears a Jayawk on his boxing shorts along with his newly-acquired belt that pronounces him Welterweight Champion of the World.
At the age of 13, he wiped out the field at boxing nationals and was given the Outstanding Boxer Award and the gold medal.
He went to the Olympic trials, but turned pro at the age of 17, which made him one of the youngest pro boxers at the time.
Ortiz, a newly-minted champion, is fresh off his fight with the previously undefeated Andre Berto, which he won by unanimous decision on April 16.
Ortiz was in contact with Brian Hanni from Rock Chalk Sports Talk and decided that he wanted to stop by the show during a tour of Lawrence Tuesday night.
His emotion was wrapped up into one word.
"All the credit goes to him for wanting to give back to all the fans that are supporting him," Hanni said.
"Excitement," Ortiz said. "That square with the ropes is my office. I love it."
Local fans showed up for the event, which was hosted by 23rd St. Brewery.
"It is awesome to have the opportunity to get his autograph," Jacob Pool, Lawrence resident, said. "He is a great fighter and I appreciate everything he does to give back to the community."
His overall record currently sits at 29-2-2. Of his 33 fights, every opponent has touched the mat.
Next, Ortiz will face Floyd
Mayweather Jr. The details of the fight are still being worked out, but Ortiz said contracts should be signed soon.
"I have been striving for success, to be that All-American and
to be all that I can," Ortiz said
Ortiz sported a Kansas hat and a Rock Chalk Sports Talk T-shirt while he gave autographs, signing everything from pictures to Kansas memorabilia at the event.
He ended his appearance with a simple message.
"Rock Chalk Jayhawk, baby"
Ortiz said.

COMMENTARY
Twitter lesson from Osama's death
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Mohd Mohammad Alafzaimi
There are two ways to participate on Twitter Join the conversation
or start it.
Keith Urbahn, chief of staff for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, started perhaps the conversation of the year. On May 1, 2011 at 9:24 p.m. CST, he tweeted the following:
Reportedly, this was the first leak. Urbahn admitted in following tweets that it could have been misinformation or just a rumor, but to the delight of America and many nations around the world, it was true.
"So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn."
He is not a journalist. He just happened to come upon some information and shared it. If the information is good enough, it can spread like wildfire no matter who you are.
1
Some of you should be able to see these athletes on campus or around Lawrence. Think about it. Onlookers have the power to shape how these figures are viewed and discussed.
Just think about the leads you could provide if you immediately post about a brawl you saw between athletes. If you catch a coach or player in the midst of a heroic act, that needs to be shared because society needs those stories, too. And please, leave out the petty gossip and foundationless rumors. No one benefits from that.
Some people have yet to realize the power they possess. You don't have to be a journalist to break news about athletics. Be the one who starts the conversation.
The "#kubball" hashtag is the biggest Jayhawk sports cesspool on Twitter. Filter out all the journalists and spam, and the remainder consists of "rah-rah, Rock Chalk" or some clever quips, which are appreciated. But there isn't a substantial topic worth talking about.
"Overheard (athlete) say he is going pro to his teammates.
{#hashtag}
We've reached a period where this is lacking in the sports realm.
Good tweet examples
"I saw (athlete) work out today not once, not twice, but thrice." #hashtag"
Give us some meat.
Bad example:
“(Athlete) just sat on some gum!!! Lol”
This whole social networking age is like having eyes open at all times, but how much do you really see when consulting these sites? For the recent national events, we see it all from every angle. Even the average person is contributing, reflecting and responding while putting these events into perspective.
But whether it is local sports or even the ones on a national scale, it looks a little blurry right now.

Debate on atheism draws protest
VOLUME 123 ISSUE 147
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church plan to visit campus Friday and picket a public debate on atheism, according to the group's online schedule.
Conrad Hudson, vice president of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA), said his group had been planning a week of events to promote discussion of secular ideas since attending a similar event, called Skepticon last year in Springfield, Mo.
The debate, titled "Does God Exist?" will lead off ReasonFest 2011, a series of public discussions on atheism and religion featuring talks by atheist speakers from around the country at Woodruff Auditorium Friday and Saturday.
Students have created a Facebook page to organize a counter protest and "flash mok kiss-in", which will involve public displays of affection. Daniel Held, a junior from Seattle, will collect donations for Planned Parenthood as he did in April 2010 when the Westboro church protested the Brown Bag Drag event during Queers & Allies' Pride Week. At that time, Held said he raised $350 for Planned Parenthood because it would be something the Westboro Church would disapprove of.
ReasonFest is sponsored by SOMA and will end Saturday evening with a fundraiser for

News headlines flash thre mind: Girl strangled to death in dorm. Finally, he releases his grip and she can breathe.
He throws her into a wall, her head breaking through the sheetrock before she crumples to the floor, dazed, but still conscious.

Megan waits at her front door armed with a softball bat. Something just crashed into the door and her dog continues to growl. Hours earlier, Tyler, the boyfriend she left a month ago, threatened her on the telephone. "I'm going to."
Ashley walks through the door of her apartment to find the place trashed and her boyfriend, Kyle, waiting in the debris. "Where the hell have you been, you fucking bitch," he screams, angry that she lied about having to work to spend time with friends.

Work just beginning for Student Senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
The full Senate is done meeting for the semester, but for members of the Senate Executive Committee, the work is just beginning.
Student body president Libby Johnson said for Senate, summer is a time of "house keeping." It provides the new executive staff members with the opportunity to understand and become comfortable with their new roles.
The Senate executive committee will meet every few weeks throughout the summer. The committee consists of executive staff members and the chairs from each Senate committee.
Johnson
While some legislation is heard regarding "old business" from the spring semester, a majority of the legislation heard over the summer deals with Senate rules and regulations, Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, said.

HUDED
Summer legislation must first go through chief of staff Hannah Bolton.
On the agenda thus far is the bill proposed by former student body president Michael Wade Smith and former vice president Megan Ritter regarding the changes to the executive staff job descriptions.
Any legislation that is heard during the summer must still be approved by full Senate in the fall.
tors to gauge what needs to be done in order to accomplish platforms proposed during campaign elections.
"For students to get the full effect of those platforms, we need to get it done over summer." Bliss said.
A couple of the platforms that student leaders would like to get accomplished are free graphic design for student groups and bike rentals.
Vice president Gabe Bliss, a sophomore from Olathe, said he hopes to get both of those accomplished before students return in the fall.

Bliss would also like to set the agenda for next year and possibly create an outreach program during the summer.

Student hopes to raise money to help others
BY KELSEY RICHARDSON
krichardson@ksan.com
At the end of the semester most students are focused on finishing their last assignments before finals, but one University student has shifted his gears to prepare for a community service bike ride.
Adam Bricic, a senior from St. Louis, plans to participate in the Bike and Build service ride at the end of this month. According to bikeandbuild.org, Bike and Build is a national organization that allows adults to plan and facilitate projects to help with the cause for affordable housing in the U.S.
Bike and Build promotes the need for affordable housing in hundreds of communities across the nation.
Before Bricic can embark on his community service ride across the country, he must raise $4,000 by May 20.
Bric said that $500 from the money each participant raises goes to a charity of his or her choice. The charity must be related to affordable housing, but each rider may pick the community or communities he or she wants to help.
The Bike and Build ride offers 10 routes for riders to choose from, all of which travel across the country. Bric plans to take the Central U.S. ride, which starts in Virginia Beach and ends 3,800 miles later in Cannon Beach, Ore. Bric's route will pass through Lawrence on June 27.
Adam Bric, a senior from St. Louis, plans to participate in the Build and Bike Ride, a project that helps raise money for affordable housing in hundreds of communities across the nation. But, before Bric can participate, he must raise $4,000 by May 20.
"It's not just a cross-country cycling adventure, it's helping the community," Bricic said.

So far, Brcic has raised a little more than half of the $4,000 needed to participate. If Brcic is unable to raise all of the money, he will not be able to join in the bike ride.

Frank Basgall, president of St. Thomas More, said Miravelle would present logical proofs, independent of Catholic teachings, showing that God does exist. Miravelle and St. More are officially participating only in the debate and not the other ReasonFest events. Basgall wants to open people up to new ideas and promote the coexistence of reason and faith.
Amanda Brown, a senior from Shawnee, worked with Ray on the research and helped to operate one of SOMA's "Ask an Atheist" information tables at Stauffer-Flint Hall on Wednesday. She said 70 percent of those surveyed answered a full range of questions about sexual practices, including fetishes and 90 percent of that group identified as atheist.

ReasonFest will continue on Saturday with "Sex and Secularism," a presentation of research on the sexual attitudes and practices among people who have left religion. Psychologist Darrel Ray will present the results of a national survey of 14,500 formerly religious people.
Other presentations on Saturday will discuss the philosophy of naturalism, the state of secular student groups in the U.S., investigations of the paranormal, and the constitutional separation of church and state.
John-Mark Miravelle, instructor at the School of Faith, will debate in favor of the existence of God at the invitation of the St. Thomas More Society, a campus organization of Catholic law students.

TV spots competitive for fall
Not long ago few would have predicted that "American Idol" would still be TV's No. 1 show, even without Simon Cowell. And even fewer would have guessed that the most-watched comedy, "Two and a Half Men," would be facing life without Charlie Sheen.
In fact, it's been a rough year for broadcasters all around. The major networks got pummeled by critics for a slate of uninspired new offerings last fall, which no doubt helps explain why each suffered notable ratings erosion this season. No. 4 NBC was hammered the worst, with double-
LOS ANGELES — As TV executives huddle in screening rooms the next few days, watching pilots for proposed fall series, they're having to adjust to a couple of big surprises.
digit declines in major categories, according to the Nielsen Co.
So executives are facing tough decisions about the futures of some onetime audience favorites that might be bulldozed to make way for new series. Among the long-running shows that are, in the industry's lingo, "on the bubble": ABC's family drama "Brothers & Sisters," NBC's perennially endangered comic caper "Chuck" and Fox's crime drama "Lie to Me." Their fates are likely to depend on how appealing the new pilots seem when executives watch them.
Despite its high ratings, "Two and a Half Men" should also be added to the "bubble" list, since Sheen was fired from the show amid a spectacular public meltdown and CBS and Warner Bros., the studio that makes the show, are scrambling to adapt the comedy without its big star. Most insiders consider it a foregone conclusion the show will return in some form, but the details have yet to be worked out.
Other series, such as NBC's heavily publicized "The Event," ABC's superhero drama "No Ordinary Family" and CBS "The Defenders," are considered near-certain bets for cancellation.
York, said of CBS. "If you don't have 'Two and a Half Men' on Monday night, what do you put there?"
Luckily for CBS executives, their network is the one perhaps best-positioned to handle such uncertainty heading into the "uprfronts," the annual selling season that begins later this month, when networks present their fall schedules to advertisers in New York. CBS is the most-watched network by far, although it's also the oldest-skewing, with an average viewer age of 55. Tuesday night, for example, is rock-solid on CBS with the "NCIS" franchise, one of the most popular on TV.
"That's a decision they're going to make," Brad Adgate, an analyst at Horizon Media in New
Because it has the fewest holes in its lineup, CBS ordered just 16 drama and comedy pilots, compared with 22 for NBC and 24 for ABC. (Fox also ordered 16, but it programs just two hours on weeknights compared to three for its rivals.)
But the Sheen case has created a major strategic problem. This season the network moved its sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" to Thursdays, where it has helped the network establish a comedy base on that night for the first time in years.

Please attempt to read my attempt at metafiction
The same week a registered nurse with clean sneakers assured me and my male comrades in Mrs. Prybolo's fifth-grade class that we shouldn't feel self-conscious about not being able to grow armpit hair, and consequentially became self-conscious of feeling self-conscious about my glacial progress at nursing a follicular thicket vaguely akin to the resigned mugs on our class' Civil War flash cards, I saw Scream.
Prior to that fateful night in my friend's unfinished basement, I thought myself privy to the secrets of bronzed moviemakers. Our babysitter had given my sister and I a general introduction to the genre—the Halloweenes, the Fridays, the Nightmares—and we had developed a sibling dogma of our own: never back out of a room; don't look away from a mirror; the archives, damn it, the archives! But, as I soon learned with Scream, the Teen-People-faced students of Woodsborro High were similarly in the know and that didn't save them. This changed everything for us. Everyone is self-aware! Anyone is vulnerable! We need Caller ID!
Years later, with puberty behind me like an awkward conversation. I started to
BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA
mrsartsagliae.jksan.com
pepper essays with big words, some of which were actually small, like meta — a word I initially connected to my first memory of the referential Scream characters. And years later, I find myself lost in the credits of "Scream 4", cotton-mouthed and scared out of my mind that the scariest part of "Scream 4" was realizing the implacable insistence of modern metaness may be here for good (which is a dramatic way of saying meta-ness is too overwhelming and needs to be taken in other directions).
Or so it seems
I can support meta-fiction; it forces the audience to consider the obscure
line between reality and abstraction, allows geeks to revel in their encyclopedic knowledge of storytelling, gives the screenwriter a stronger voice within the movie, and has been the MO of many greats like Woody Allen, David Lynch, and Charlie Kaufman. The convention gets frustrating, however, when its limits are tested by stacking meta on top of meta on top of meta as "Scream 4" does by starting with a movie inside a movie inside a movie.
In this way the convention, which was originally endearing, humbling, and stimulating, is reduced to gimmickry that, although initially comedic, quickly turns to an annoyingly clever and overly italicized confrontation with the idea that the relationship between life and art is, at best, complicated — something as obvious by now as Kim Kardashian and the effects of smoking. Meta-ness, the trademark of Craven's slasher series, is relegated to cliché in the latest installment with references to the predictability of its referentiality. And this was the scary part; when addressing clichés becomes cliché, (props to "Scary Movie")
The problem may be me not being able
to get over the idea that metafiction in cinema has become a hip way to ironically mock being embarrassed of recognizing genre, but it may also be that either 1) screenwriters are having a hard time exploring metafiction without in someway adopting this stacking approach that can be often misused, or 2) that Hollywood — the whole town, from its coke parties to its cat ladies — will only take genre conforming scripts, cash cows and stars.
The more trying problem is likely the latter, and that problem probably won't be solved anytime soon.
But the former appears to have a similar fate.
Ultimately this fear is based in the belief that meta can't be approached other than how "Scream" uses meta and that's a limited view, I admit it. But when library searches turn up dry and multiple scholars from different schools respond with various forms of "I wish I knew," things look pretty grim.

Letter to the Editor
More needs to be done after bin Laden's death
The past two days I have seen my home country's image tarnish ruthlessly and that is why I feel the need to speak up. U.S. agents killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The al-Qaida leader was responsible for great suffering; I do not mourn his death – I do not celebrate it, either. I am worried about my country's security now, more than ever. Dread lingers over me: Pakistan may have to pay the price for this.
A decade ago al-Qaida massacred nearly 3,000 Americans. The statistic not known is that since the subsequent U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, terrorists have killed nearly five times that number of people in Pakistan. Before 2002, suicide bombing was a word unknown to Pakistaniis. Now, suicide attacks by Taliban/al-Qaida, have slaughtered over 34,000 Pakistani civilians, policemen and army personnel. The annual number of Pakistani fatalities from terrorism has surged from less than 200 in 2003 to more than 3,000 in 2009. Bin Laden declared war on Pakistan, too.
Despite all of that, American media is having a field day. The topic: Pakistan and its supposed support for al-Qaida. All that may make for great rhetoric but makes no sense when one asks why Pakistan would care about the group that has killed thousands of Pakistanis and destroyed all kinds
Pakistan is not a country that accommodates and hides mass murderers. Pakistanis just want to live a tranquil life. If Osama's death means America can begin to withdraw its forces from Pakistan and Afghanistan and that we can somehow rediscover peace, then one day Pakistani are going to celebrate, too. But until the continued al-Qaida/Taliban operations all around the world, American drones killing civilians in my country, the norm of racial profiling of American-Muslims, human right injustices in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and all such heinous acts are put to end, I do not have a reason to celebrate.
of infrastructure and investment? Pakistan was the world's second fastest growing economy in 2005; now, its economy is in the dumps. Are Pakistanis really going to bring this upon themselves? Yes, Osama was found in Abbotabad, but who is to say he stayed in one location. For ten years? Please. We also know that this operation wouldn't have been possible without the support of Pakistani forces. Pakistan is not the perpetrator; it is the ally and the victim

Take time for yourself and God during this stressful time of the year
Everyone has that one friend who is always stressed out. They are involved in so many activities you can't name them all and you wonder how it is they get everything done without looking like a chicken running around with its head cut off. I have a roommate who is always on the move like this. We never see her. She is always stressed with everything that she has to get done for the next day.
With final approaching, and only twenty more days until freedom,
it seems like every college student experiences this whirlwind of stress.
Late night studying and last minute projects and papers to turn in can
PETER J. BLANCK
make these last 20 days seem like an eternity.
BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com
In the midst of all the chaos that surrounds this last home stretch it is important to slow down and take time for yourself. Taking time to focus on faith is just one of several ways to slow down and not let the
stresses of finals get to you.
I admit there are times when all I can do is pray to God, "Just help me get through this day." However, my faith upbringing has taught me to enjoy the simplities around me while also working hard. Enjoying the simple things in life, such as the joy of community, nature and friendship, are some of the things that can help slow down the chaos. In the midst of stress and finals it can be harder to notice these due to studying. However, if taken the time to notice them, these simple things can greatly improve the awareness of God in your life. The days when I take time to thank God for all the
joys in my life are the days I love to remember.
It is critical that we take time for the important things in life. This is different for everyone. It can be spending time with family or friends, reading, exercising, faith, quiet time for yourself, or just pursuing something you enjoy doing. Don't let the chaos of finals let you forget the joy of taking time for yourself.

ABUSE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
If her hair was down or he could see Chloe's bra through a shirt he would scowl at her. She learned quickly that wearing form-fitting shirts and jeans angered him and he would react with an insult or painful twist of her arm.
"You look like a slut," he would say.
She began to wear sweatpants, baggy T-shirts and was forbidden from wearing shorts. Even after changing her fashion, he would still find her appearance unacceptable.
To please him,
she wore her hair in a ponytail and avoided make-up.
The thought that someone might see Luke's girl-

friend as pretty was reason enough to manipulate her.
"I lost all my femininity and that was how he wanted it" Chloe said.
His control in high school continued after they became KU students. If she spoke with anyone, especially a man, he would question her about the details. Chloe sacrificed friends and social life so Luke would know where she was at all times. He isolated her from others, justifying his actions with iealousy.
One night, Chloe was driving with Luke sitting in the passenger seat, seething with anger. He broke up with her hours before because she had straightened her hair and worn mascara. Suddenly, Luke snapped. He punched Chloe across the jaw, causing her to swerve and nearly lose control of the car.
They both began to cry, and Luke said, "Why do you hurt me like this?"
She was used to Luke blaming her for his outbursts, but how could he be the victim if blood was seeping from her mouth.
"I got elbowed while dancing," she lied.
The next day Chloe had to explain her bruised face and fat lip to parents and extended family.
Deceit was common while she dated Luke. His promises of marriage and a future with children kept Chloe hoping that one day they could live together in peace.
--to shout at her. When she calmly described her plan, it only provoked his fury.
She was ready to become who Luke wanted her to be. She abandoned friends, gave up her art, changed her style and accepted his blame. In return she expected his love, but instead she received his abuse.
Chloe said she worried about riding the bus or elevator because if a man would speak with her, she would have to explain herself to Luke.
"Being friendly to someone was flirting." Chloe said.
Without Luke in her life she would be alone. She was willing to keep him happy by surrendering her hobbies as a talented sketch-artist and photographer. When she found joy outside of Luke, it created problems and he would limit her expression with a barrage of insults.
If he went to parties or out with friends, he would expect her to stay at the dorm and pick him up afterward. Once he got in the car, the questioning began.
After a day of classes in the fall of 2008, Chloe excitedly went to Luke's dorm to tell him that she applied to study abroad. She sat next to him on the bed, explaining the program in
"Where have you been? Who were you with," Luke would shout. "I don't believe you."
Soon into their freshman year at KU, Luke turned to alcohol to vent frustration. A casual beer turned into binge drinking. After a night of drinking, he would become angry or depressed and would threaten suicide to keep Chloe close.
"The more often it happens, the less time the cycle takes to complete itself and the more severe the outbreak of violence may be," Wells said.
"If you ever leave me, I'll drink myself to death." Luke said.
After he hit Chloe, their relationship would enter what psychologists refer to as the calm, or "honeymoon" stage of the abusive cycle. The two disregarded the violence until the tension grew and Luke beat her again. The sequence repeated for nearly five years.
Domestic Violence Center, said that an abusive relationship becomes increasingly dangerous as it continues.
When she brought up her career plans and interest in art, Luke would mock her ambitions. He said her art was worthless, a waste of time. If she mentioned it again, a slap across the face would remind Chloe of his disapproval.
"Why would you make me do that," he would say. "I don't want to do that."
Spain, aware that he intended to travel elsewhere. She hoped he would understand her dream to visit the coast of Barcelona. He didn't.
Luke grew upset and began

He threw her to the floor, hands clasped tightly around her neck.
When he finally released her, she gasped for air and crawled away. The two began to cry and Chloe staggered to her feet. She walked toward the door, but he hurried to stop her.
"I'm really sorry," Luke said.
"No. I'm sorry," she replied, hugging the man she loved.
"It's going to get better, I promise."
He swore that one day soon he wouldn't have to hurt her. That they would live near the water, raise a family and teach their children to sail — the dreams Chloe always held onto.
--vicious abuse. The two began dating after they met at a concert and she moved in with a friend of his.
Chloe continued to date Luke, changing nearly everything about herself to please him. He would comment on other girls, saying how beautiful they were and how hed like to sleep with them.
Chloe noticed that those women differed from what he insisted she look like.
"They were the tall blondes who wore makeup and had fashionable things," Chloe said. "I had a sense of fashion before he took it away from me."
Near the beginning of the 2009 spring semester, the couple was talking when Luke accused her of cheating.
- "No, I would never do that," Chloe said.
"Well, I have," he replied.
Her own anger gave her confidence. She stood up and faced him as he listed three different women, one of whom was a former friend of hers. For the first time in their relationship, Chloe's rage pushed her to assert herself.
"Fuck this, fuck you," Chloe said.
She slapped him across the face and stormed from the room.
Despite his insults, manipulation and abuse, she was devastated. Chloe hated the thought of being an ignorant girlfriend whose boyfriend cheated, used and beat her. She avoided his contact for days then broke up with him later that week.
Without the domineering presence of Luke, Chloe made up for lost time. She quickly joined a tight-knit group of friends, began to draw again and bought a new camera. She created a Facebook page, which Luke forbid her from having, and within a day received an insulting message from him—"delete."
--vicious abuse. The two began dating after they met at a concert and she moved in with a friend of his.
Chloe also made a close friend, David, who kept in contact with her as she visited the Barcelonan coast. After she returned from traveling, the two began dating. He would be one of the first to know about her experiences with abuse.
Life without Luke was liberating. She used art to express herself and eventually switched majors to art and design, a move that Chloe said would have infuriated him.
While she's concerned that the effects of her abuse may eventually catch up with her, she remains positive and hopes to empower others who are victims like she was.
"You're not the only one," Chloe said. "If someone would've said 'you're beautiful and worthwhile' it would've had more of an effect on me than just 'you can get help.'"
Ashley and Kyle
Ironically, Ashley met Kyle only because she had fled from her mother's home to escape her stepfather's
But early on in her new relationship, Kyle's anger began to show. He would spy on her calls and look through her text messages, trying to find Ashley being unfaithful. If a male friend contacted her, Kyle would call him back, cursing with threats.
"Getting a call from anyone, even my family, he'd get jealous," Ashley said.
One day, Ashley came home to find Kyle moving boxes into her apartment. She didn't want to continue dating after she saw him lash out, but now Kyle was going to live with her.
After moving himself in, Kyle became more controlling. He questioned Ashley about where she shed been, who shed seen and the couple often argued about his possessiveness. Soon, Kyle began to isolate Ashley from her friends and family, using guilt to keep her home.
Kyle would follow her everywhere; around the apartment, while running errands and exercising. Hed even pick

Ashley looked forward to work as an opportunity away from Kyle. But soon, he began to appear and watched as she checked out groceries. He had to be escorted from the store after harassing Ashley and managers threatened to fire her if the problem continued.
One day, in order to escape Kyle's company, Ashley told him that she was working all day. She enjoyed a few carefree hours with friends before receiving a text message from her manager: "He knows you're not here."
"Where the hell have you been?" he shouts. "You fucking bitch."
Ashley walked into her apartment to find papers everywhere, a lamp smashed and the coffee table upended.
Kyle violently shoved his girlfriend and she met the drywall head first, causing the wall to cave in before she fell to the floor. As she staggered to her feet, Kyle began to feel guilty.
"Don't lie down," he said, helping her up on their bed. "You might have a concussion."

In June 2009 Ashley arrived at her apartment tired from a long day, hoping Kyle had forgotten about their shouting match while she was at work. But he hadn't..
Following each episode of violence, Kyle would apologize, but the peace after contraction was brief. Eventually, Ashley's self-esteem dwindled and she started drinking nearly every night to numb herself from Kyle's affronts.
"You've been cheating on me, whore," Kyle shouted.

At work the next day, Ashley had to lie about her bruised face.
"I got elbowed during my softball game," Ashley said.
She needed to escape but had no peaceful place to stay. Ashley couldn't stay with her mother because her stepfather's abuse went far beyond punches. After beating her mother, it wasn't uncommon for Mark, her stepfather, to threaten their lives with a shotgun or knife.
Girls who witness their mothers being abused are "more likely to view violence as an integral part of intimate relationships and may show higher tolerance for dating relationships that are abusive", according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.
--put their hands on you once, it's going to happen again."
Ashley's co-workers began to notice signs of her abuse. They told her not to take it, to just leave him, but they didn't understand. She had no place to go.
She worried how to end the relationship without Kyle getting violent, but she had to stop the abuse even if that meant living in her car.
Despite her fear, she broke up with Kyle after three months of abuse and to her surprise, he calmly accepted. While at work the next day, he called Ashley acting as if nothing happened. She reminded him that she planned to move out that night and Kyle quickly became angry.
"I didn't think you were serious," Kyle said. "You can't leave me, I won't let you."
"I'm not doing this anymore." Ashley said.
"If you leave me, I will find you and I will kill you."
"I'm not coming home."
"You don't want to do this to me, Ashley. I'm setting all your stuff on fire — doubt me bitch."
She considered going home and taking the abuse for another month, but her manager at work stepped in.
"Break the cycle," he said.
On his advice, she had police present when she collected her belongings from the apartment. Kyle watched helplessly, fuming in anger. He asked to speak with Ashley in private, but police remained nearby.
"Why are you doing this — we can make it work." Kyle pleaded.
After she moved out and began staying with a friend, Kyle continued to call, harassing and threatening her. Ashley soon filed for a restraining order, prohibiting him from coming within 70 feet from her.
She changed her telephone number, but Kyle continued to show up at her work and attempted to get her fired. She would hide from him in the freezer until managers warned him they would call police. Eventually, she quit her job to cut off any chance of Kyle finding her.
Ashley is now working toward a nursing degree and dating another man who treats her well and supports her. She said she learned the hard way not to put up with emotional or physical abuse and to call police when violence erupts.
Megan and Tyler
When Megan met Tyler it took less than two weeks for their relationship to blossom. Trips to the lake, a common interest in music and Tyler's charisma made the idea of dating him seem natural. Neither minded the 10-year age difference — he was older — because they felt a connection.
"Don't wait," Ashley said. "If they

estic and Sexual Violence
"You're a fucking bitch" Tyler would say. "You're ruining my life"
After a night of drinking, Tyler's mood would change quickly. Before long he was shouting at Megan to get his point across.
The day after a night of binge drinking, Tyler would become apologetic. Megan would forgive, but not forget.
"I'm sorry, baby," Tyler said. "It won't happen again."
But it did. Six beers a night turned into 12. As the drinking increased, so too did the verbal and emotional abuse.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, two-thirds of victims of intimate partner violence reported that alcohol consumption was a factor in their abuse.
Megan said at first Tyler's verbal attacks didn't affect her much. She blamed alcohol for fueling Tyler's temper. When sober, Tyler was kind and considerate.
Eventually, his words began to sap her confidence and eroded her self-esteem.
"When you hear something every day you kind of do start to believe it," Megan said.
Soon, Megan's history of depression and anxiety became a problem once again, provoked by his drunken tirades. She experienced panic attacks that occurred frequently.
"Yeah," Megan said. "I'm fine."
Before a class during the fall semester of 2009, Megan's heart began pounding uncontrollably. Her vision grew blurry and she suddenly became dizzy. After experiencing shortness of breath she retreated to a restroom where a woman entered and asked if she was OK.
She's not alone in experiencing the mental health effects of domestic violence. According to the American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence, 37 percent of battered women suffer from symptoms of depression and 46 percent experience anxiety disorders.
But she wasn't fine. Emotional abuse was taking a toll on her psyche. The depression and severe anxiety manifested itself through her shaking hands and racing pulse. Paramedics arrived shortly after to assist Megan with her breathing.
---
Megan rarely opened up to anyone about Tyler's abuse, including her therapist. Megan said she felt that because Tyler never left a mark, his behavior wasn't really abuse.
"He didn't give me a black- eye, he didn't send me to the ER, so maybe it's not that big of deal," Megan said she thought then.
A month after they began living together, Megan helped find her jobless boyfriend some work. With outstanding DUI warrants and two children from a former relationship, Tyler's job had to be tax-free, under-the-table money to avoid jail time, fines and thousands in back child support.
Megan persuaded her best friend, Carrie, to get Tyler work on her father's farm. Tyler worked at least eight hours a day balling hay, working in the fields and spending time with Carrie — too much time. A friend told Megan that the two might be having an affair.
"When I confronted him about it, he said I was crazy and paranoid," Megan said.
Megan's suspicions grew after seeing text messages between the two. She drove to Carrie's house and asked what was going on with Tyler. Carrie admitted that the two were involved.
She sped back to her apartment and began packing up his things. Without warning him, Megan drove into the night toward Tyler's parents' house to

deliver his stuff and her decision.
When Megan arrived Tyler got into her car, reeking of cigarettes and stale beer. Drunk again, Tyler quickly became aggressive and began making threats when she said their relationship had ended.
"I'm going to shoot you and burn your body," he said. "Down here people's bodies disappear and they're never found."
"If you try anything" Megan said. "I'm calling the police."
--month before. This time, Megan believed him. She filed the first of more than a dozen police reports against Tyler.
"The police won't do anything." Tyler replied. "They don't take kindly to outsiders."
A few days after she announced the break up, Tyler called her and tried to mend their relationship. He promised he would go to welding school and stop drinking. He was going to get a real job and save to buy Megan a ring. He was going to support her.
"I need to work on myself" Tyler said. "I want this to work."
Courtney, Megan's roommate, saw her friend crying and took the phone from her.
In early December Megan answered one of Tyler's calls, presuming another effort to gain her trust. Instead, he called to insult and threaten her.
"You need to grow up." Courtney told him. "Stop messing with people's hearts and lives."
"I'm going to shoot you and that bitch," Tyler said. "I'll take your bodies out to the country and burn them."
"Tell that bitch to shut up and not open her cocksucker," Tyler shouted. "I'll hang up and start driving to Lawrence right now."
Megan grabbed the phone and said, "Don't ever speak to me again."
"You better watch your back, because you're not going to know who it is."
Tyler made the same threat a
That night, only hours after his threat, Megan was lying in bed watching television with a bedmate to comfort her — a softball bat. Suddenly, she heard a thunderous bang come from downstairs. Celeste, Megan's five-pound Yorkshire terrier, barked his alarm.
Bang!
Armed with her aluminum club, Megan walked into the living room to find her roommate, Courtney, awakened from her sleep.
"Someone's trying to get into the house." Courtney said.
"Call the police," Megan replied.
Gan lean walked slowly down the stairs to her front door, clinching the bat with a grip ready to strike. A look through the peephole showed nothing but the darkened entryway. Whatever made the noise had left or was hiding out of view.
She threw open the door, ready to swing her bat at a head to crack. All she found was a muddy鞋print and a dented door.
The next day, Megan applied for emergency housing at the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
--to establish dominance.
After moving into the shelter, Megan struggled with the idea of being a victim. The signs of her abuse weren't present physically and that was the hardest part for her to understand.
Willow advocates urged Megan to take legal action against Tyler, but filing a protection order meant he would go to jail and she wasn't ready to send him there.
"In spite of everything that happened, I was still concerned about him," Megan said.

"I realized this is not just in my head," Megan said.
Three weeks later, Megan went to the Douglas County Courthouse and was granted a protection from stalking order that prohibited any form of telecommunication — including email, texting or Facebook.
Within days, Megan received a call from a former acquaintance she met through Tyler, but soon realized it was a three-way call. Tyler was on the line too, in jail and livid.
"You better watch your back" Tyler said. "I'm having my friends watch you."

Six months after receiving her protection order, the warmth of May comforted Megan as she began to emerge from the effects of his abuse. Life was better without Tyler — much better.

After school one day, Megan came home to find her second story patio door ajar. She had changed the locks after staying at the Willow and had locked the front door before she left.
On previous occasions, Tyler had climbed on the railing of the apartment beneath Megan's and pulled himself onto her patio to get inside. She reported the incident, but after arriving, police could find nothing and filed no report.
A few days later, Megan checked her Facebook and saw a message from Tyler — a direct violation of her protection order. She reported his contact, prompting a court battle that would last for nearly a year. She decided to return to the Willow for a second time until she could change addresses.

Megan's anxiety re-emerged and she began to worry about what Tyler might do if the trial went against him. With a history of Marine training, Megan recalled how Tyler told her he didn't need a weapon to kill.
After she returned to her apartment to move her things, she found a note from Tyler on her bed: "Just because you don't see me does not mean I'm not with you."
---
Nearly a year after charges were filed against Tyler for violating her protection order, Megan opened a letter from the Douglas County District Attorney's Office that reads "Charges were dismissed by the State at the defendant's cost."
Megan was warned earlier by the district attorney that the charges might have to be dropped if Tyler didn't accept a plea bargain. Finding proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Tyler sent the messages was nearly impossible. The district attorney had no choice but to drop the case.
gos kept Jana Mackey's step in time as she twirled on the dance floor of Cielito Lindo, a restaurant and dance club in downtown Lawrence. On the dance floor she saw a handsome man whose salsa impressed her. Fito Garche, also known as Adolfo Garcia-Nunez, approached Mackey and asked her to dance.
Mackey told Kelli Brandt, a KU graduate and a close friend, about the man she met dancing a few days later.
Nearly two years after the abuse began, Megan still struggles with its effects and suffers from occasional nightmares about Tyler.
"She thought he was really awesome," Brandt said. "She really thought highly of him and he had the friends to prove it."
"Hed have me by my neck, screaming at me that I need to stop calling the police," Megan said about the dreams.
Garche had immigrated to the U.S. on a raft after fleeing Cuba in 1994. The emigré political artist had lived in Miami for several years before moving to Kansas in 2001. He became prominent in the Lawrence art scene and was featured in Lawrence Journal-World articles for his commentary on Cuban-American relations.
Although the mental effects of her abuse still remain, Megan is optimistic about her future. She plans to graduate with a degree in social work and hopes to work with children.
Mackey and Garche began to spend time together after that first dance. His art, culture and history of political activism impressed Mackey. The two hit it off.
Jana and Fito The rhythm of the claves and bon-
But before Mackey considered a relationship with a man 21 years older, she did what many women do today before dating — online research.
In the summer of 2007, Mackey typed "Fito Garche" in a Google search. Garche displayed his art around Lawrence and she hoped to see some pictures. Instead of finding his work, she discovered a Lawrence Journal-World article entitled "Cuban artist gets fresh start" — "click."
When Mackey confronted him about the charges, Garche became defensive. He said he wasn't given a fair trial and that his language barrier prevented a complete understanding of the case.
The story reported Garche's Christian renewal after struggling with depression, alcoholism and a prison stint. He was convicted of aggravated assault and battery for stabbing a former girlfriend and spent time in jail before being granted parole in August 2006.
"He was able to rationalize everything to her," Brandt said. "He made Jana think that he was the victim."
The couple began dating about three weeks after meeting each other.
Brandt said Garche's charming persona convinced Mackey that he was an innocent man.
--her. Nothing—no one had seen or spoken with Mackey since the day before. Mott then called police, but they said there was nothing they could do within 24
After nearly three years of political campaigning and lobbying for the National Organization for Women, Mackey entered the KU law school in the fall of 2007. When the semester began, Garche set up an office at his home for Mackey and her close friend, Steph Mott. The two women often studied while he made coffee and cooked them authentic Cuban dinners. Mott socialized with the couple at his home and at art events.
"We were nerdy like that—wed go everywhere together," Mott said. "He was very accommodating."
Garche would invite prominent figures in the Lawrence art and political scene for elaborate dinner parties and entertainment. He'd share with them stories of his activism in Cuba and imprisonment by Dictator Fidel Castro for his political art. Garche's hospitality and charm left no reason to question his integrity.
Throughout their relationship, family and friends never suspected he was abusive. But after almost a year of dating, Garchie was becoming possessive of Mackey. He was jealous of both the amount of time she spent with friends and her free spirit.
To test her fidelity, Garche created a false Myspace page and contacted Mackey, posing as a rich doctor. Brandt recalled talking with her about the messages.
"He was trying to come up with a reason to be angry with her," Brandt said.
Brandt said Mackey quickly realized the new suitor was really Garche, who was trying to manipulate and control her. Mackey confronted him about the fake Myspace page and Garche got upset.
Afterwards, Brandt confronted Mackey about Garche's temper.
'no, never.'
Mackey began to question whether their relationship should continue. She knew Garche had a history of violence against an ex-girlfriend but never felt herself to be in danger. After nearly a year of dating, Mackey decided the relationship must end and she broke up with him in mid-June.
"I asked her if he would ever hurt her," Brandt said. "She said
Three weeks later, on July 3, 2008, Steph Mott, Mackey's best friend, was planning to meet her to discuss their plans for the Fourth of July at her family's lake house in Council Grove. She had texted Mackey throughout the day before realizing she had not responded to any messages—unusual for Mackey.
--her. Nothing—no one had seen or spoken with Mackey since the day before. Mott then called police, but they said there was nothing they could do within 24
Mott said she panicked, drove quickly to Mackey's home and went inside.
"It didn't look like anyone had been home—her car was gone," Mott said.
Mott began scouring Lawrence spots Mackey frequented: Henry's coffee shop, up and down Massachusetts Street, the Law school and Garche's home. No one came to Garche's door when she knocked—the door was locked, windows were shut and his new dog was gone.
Mott made a list of Mackey's friends in Lawrence and began calling them, hoping that one had seen

hours and advised her to find Mackey's car.
Mott assembled a search party, directing people to different parts of the city. Eventually, someone spotted Mackey's car across from Garche's home in the parking lot of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. After opening the driver's side door, Mott saw that Mackey's seat had been moved forward and her purse was inside. Mott thought it strange her 6-foot-tall friend's seat had been adjusted for a smaller driver.
"She had some long legs." Mott said. "It was fishy."
Police got involved after Mott informed them they found Mackey's car. The long summer day was growing dark when Mott learned that Garche had left a note behind with a friend. She finally convinced the man with the message to come to Garche's home.
Once Garche's friend arrived, Mott began to translate the note, written in Spanish.
"It said how she and I were huge bitches," Mott said. "And how we needed to go back and learn to become better people."
Mott took the note to police and the group of friends, exhausted from the search, decided to wait on the porch of Mackey's home. Shortly after, police arrived, asked them to leave and began to tape off the property. Soon, Mott received a call instructing her to go to the police station.
Brandt and Mott rode together,
worried about what they might learn.
When they got there, they met Mackey's brother and Christie Brungardt, her mother, who told them, "She loved you two so much."
Jana, their friend, was dead.
Police discovered Mackey's body at 11:07 p.m. in Garche's home, 409 Michigan St. Garche was gone, but the Lawrence Police Department had several leads to where he might be. Authorities contacted police in New Jersey, giving a description of Garche and his truck. Douglas County issued a second degree murder warrant for him and set bond at $1 million.
Nearly 12 hours later Garche was found hanged in his holding cell, an apparent suicide.
Police located Garche's truck in Elizabeth, N.J., and within three hours four Lawrence detectives were on a plane to find him. Garche, who traveled with his 18-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter, was arrested later that same day in Elizabeth. Police reported that Garche had injuries that he probably suffered as Mackey struggled for her life.
--cans and family to activists and friends.
The following Wednesday a crowd of more than 1,100 people gathered at Liberty Hall for Mackey's funeral where speakers ranged from politi-
Many spoke about Mackey's incandescence and personality. Curt Brungardt, Mackey's stepfather, urged others to continue Jana's work.
Kansas Sen. Laura Kelly delivered a eulogy calling Jana "a fearless and dedicated advocate."
"Jana was first
and foremost about serving others." Brungardt said. "Jana's torch now needs to be passed to all of you here."
To continue Mackey's advocacy, the university established the Jane Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series that now brings prominent figures to campus to talk about domestic violence and other issues important to women.
Her parents, Curt and Christie Brungardt, established Jana's Campaign to create public awareness of domestic violence and campaign for better laws. Both testified before the Kansas Legislature in support of a law that would identify repeat domestic violence offenders.
According to Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, the new law, ratified in 2010, would allow his office to more effectively track and prosecute those with a history of violence.
"Simply saying 'how tragic' was not enough. We wanted to do something to recognize Jana for who she was, what she did and continue the work she started," said Kathy Rose Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
One such offender was Fito Garche, the man who stabbed one girlfriend and later charged with the murder of Jana Mackey.

Dale attended the Oprah Winfrey Show covering the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Riders. He is one of 40 college students from around the country to join original Freedom Riders in retracing the 1961 Rides from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans, LA.
Dale and the 39 other students will begin the re-created Freedom Ride on May 6 and will finish on May 16. The documentary film "American Experience" will premier on PBS May 16 and will feature the Riders themselves, state and federal government officials and journalists who witnessed the Riders firsthand.
Originally, more than 400 black and white civil rights activists rode on public buses to protest against segregation laws in the South. Dale was also one of five of the 40 students selected to appear on Oprah.
The show featured 178 of the original freedom riders, their families, civil rights activists and five student riders as well as some of the anti-black attackers. Dale said one of the most touching moments of the show was the reunion between Congressman John Lewis, a former Freedom Rider, and his attacker Elwin Wilson, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. He said the entire experience — seeing the riders,
hearing their stories, listening to the history — was touching.

"It was kind of a surreal experience but also emotionally and physically taxing," Dale said. "I was kind of in awe of them. I was disgusted by some of the actions people did against them, but then inspired by their stories. It was up and down emotionally."
The public can follow the student riders through Facebook, Twitter, online blogs and video posts. Dale said he is most excited about the discussions that will take place on the bus.
Dale had the chance to meet Oprah after the show and said that even in the few minutes he had to talk to her, she was inspiring, motivational and encouraging in her words.
"This freedom ride will bring together the civic engagers of tomorrow," Dale said in his online video post. "I feel like we are a group of compassionate individuals that will have the will power and strength to one day change the world."
"On behalf of all of America, may I say you make us proud to call ourselves American. Thank
you!" Oprah said to the Freedom Riders.

Kangaroo lifts woman's spirits
ODD NEWS
"We believe this provides the necessary protection for the city," said City Manager David Wooden. Councilman Johnnie Parks also
The permit would require exotic animal owners to have a $50,000 liability insurance policy for any injuries inflicted by the animal, certification that the animal has adequate housing for its health and meet all federal and state guidelines for licensing, among other provisions.
BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — A depressed woman can keep a partially paralyzed kangaroo at her home in a northeast Oklahoma city, officials have agreed, just weeks after she was warned that the therapy pet might be run out of town.
"My life centers around him," Carr said. "Irwin has brought me out of my shell."
The Broken Arrow City Council unanimously voted Tuesday night to create an exotic animal ordinance exemption that would allow Christie Carr to keep Irwin the red kangaroo within city limits under certain conditions.
Irwin fractured his neck and suffered brain damage when he ran into a fence, and Carr offered to take him home and nurse him back to health. Irwin cannot stand or walk on his own, although he can hop with assistance.
But veterinarians say Irwin will probably not grow larger than 50 pounds because of his injury and because he has been neutered. Carr's therapist has certified the animal as a therapy pet under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Council members had been concerned that the kangaroo could present a risk to public safety. Native to Australia, healthy male great red kangaroos can grow up to 7 feet tall, weigh more than 200 pounds and bound 25 feet in a single lean.
Carr is unable to work because of her health and has found comfort in the companionship of Irwin, whom she met while volunteering at a local animal sanctuary on the advice of her therapist.
"Irwin is my life," she said Tuesday at the council meeting. "He's given me strength."
mentioned that neighbors who live near Carr would have to be notified that she has a pet kangaroo.
Carr had been devastated because she couldn't afford to buy an insurance policy for Irwin, and was certain that the pair would have to move out of her Broken Arrow home. But last month an anonymous donor paid for Irwin's insurance.
She changes Irwin's diaper several times a day. She feeds him salad, raw vegetables, kangaroo chow, popcorn and the occasional Cheez-Its or a handful of Cheetos.
Carr kneeed down with a plate of veggies and filed his nails. When it came time to play, Irwin could only manage a few imbalanced hops before tumbling to the ground.

MVP Derrick Rose leads Bulls to victory over Hawks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Newly crowned MVP Derrick Rose scored 25 points, Joakim Noah added 19 points and 14 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks 86-73 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on
Wednesday night to tie the series.
The top-seeded Bulls shook off a dismal performance in the opener and looked more like the team with a league-leading 62 wins, building a 14-point lead and ending the game on a 9-2 run after the Hawks got within six.
The night started with
Commissioner David Stern presenting Rose the MVP trophy, and the superstar point guard showed just why he became the youngest player to win the award — at least in the first half, when he scored 16 points.
He went cold after that and wound up hitting just 10 of 27
shots, going 1 of 8 on 3-pointers. He did convert 4 of 6 free throws after failing to get to the line in the opener.
Noah helped pick up the slack. So did Luol Deng, who scored all but two of his 14 points in the second half and grabbed 12 rebounds in the game.
The Bulls outrebounded the Hawks 58-39 after getting beaten on the boards 38-37 in Game 1 and held them to 33.8 percent shooting, after they converted just over 51 percent in the opener.
The Bulls led by as much as 14 and finally put away the Hawks in the closing minutes. With a 77-71
lead, Deng scored on a layup with just under four minutes left to start the game-ending run and Chicago hung on from there.
Rose provided the final point when he hit a free throw in the closing seconds as the fans chanted "MVP! MVP!" — a fitting finish given the way the night began.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I love this city, man, they love me back, you know what I'm saying? So it's good — it's a blue-collar town and I'm a blue-collar player. I'm a hard worker, and this is a hard-workin' town. Ain't nothin' been given easy to me, ain't nothin' easy been given to this town, so it's a fit!"
Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies
FACT OF THE DAY
Of the 16 game sevens in NBA Finals history, the Western Conference won the first three. Then the East won 10 in a row. And now the West has won three straight again. The average score of Finals Game 7s (by conference) has been East 98, West 96.
— nba.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many NBA Finals Game sevens have gone into overtime?
A: Just two. In 1957 between the Celtics and the Hawks, and in 1962 between the Celtics and the Lakers.

MORNING BREW
It's a bad time for an NBA lockout
All spring long I hoped that the NBA would lock out, giving the Morris twins incentive to stay in school. Now that there is no chance of them returning for their senior campaign, my stance has changed. I absolutely don't want the NBA to lock out.
SENIOR ADVOCATE
I'm a die-hard NFL, soccer and college football and basketball fan. I'll watch the NBA, but the only teams I take a particular interest in are the ones with former Jayhawks on them. Often, I get disgusted at the passionless play exhibited by NBA stars. Nevertheless, I don't think a lockout would be good.
Although popular, the league will never enjoy the undying adulation reserved for the NFL. The NBA has struggled with fan relations in the past with the 2004 Pacers-Pistons brawl, the notorious Portland Jail Blazers teams of the early 2000s, and the cocaine craze that swept the league in the 1980s, among other problems. Most notably, the league has struggled racially in the past decade, as commissioner David Stern tried to clean up the ghetto image presented by the mostly black league to make it easier to market the game to white fans and corporations.

If the NBA can resolve its labor strife, it won't be faced with any major problems for the foreseeable future, making a potential lockout even sadder. The upcoming draft is predicted to be a weak one, but that doesn't change the fact that the league is full of exciting young players. Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant

is a four-year veteran, but he is only 22. The Miami Heat's LeBron James is still only 26. Boston's Rajon Rondo and New Orleans' Chris Paul are two of the top point guards in the league, and they're both 25. Chicago's Derrick Rose was announced this week as the NBA's MVP, even though he is only 22 and in his third season in the league. And of course, the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin has been possibly the most electrifying offensive force this season, seemingly throwing down a mouth-dropping dunk every night. The 22-year old was rightfully named the Rookie of the Year yesterday by a unanimous vote.
The NBA's youth movement would be noticeably damaged by a lockout. The current batch of young stars would be robbed of a year in the league, and the fans would be robbed of a season watching them develop and challenge one another for league supremacy. The players could still work out and scrimmage on
their own, but losing a year of meaningful games would leave more rust on the players than any of us would care to see. Also, aging players such as Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Tim Duncan might be enticed to retire, rather than come back for one final hurrah after the lockout ended. Perhaps most damagingly, the NBA would lose fan support, much as the MLB did in recent years.
As I watch the never-ending NBA playoff season, I am actually taking the time to appreciate the players' mesmerizing abilities. Although the NBA is not my favorite sports league, as a sports fan, I think it would be incredibly sad to see the league, players and fans robbed of a year with the current cast of stars, both young and old.

All Carlos Zambrano could do was leave Dodger Stadium and wonder whether he could have stopped Andre Ethier's 29-game hitting streak.
Zambrano beats Ethier-less Dodgers
The Chicago Cubs' excitable right-hander never got the chance, because Ethel missed his first game of the season with an inflamed left elbow. As a result, Zambrano dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers for eight innings in a 5-1 victory Wednesday
Chicago scored all of its runs on homers by Geovany Soto, Carlos Pena and Marlon Byrd.
"Sometimes you don't want to face (Ethier) when he's hot and he has a streak like that," Zambrao said with a laugh. "He can hit anything. You throw it down to him; he hits it. You throw it inside to him; he hits it. Outside, up, away — I mean, he's in a zone. But as a competitor, I like to be challenged all the time. I was surprised when they told me he wasn't in the lineup today."
Etheir, who has seven hits in 16 career at-bats against Zambrano including a home run, remained two games shy of the longest streak in Dodgers history that was set by Willie Davis in 1969.
"It's been sore for the last couple of days;" Ethier said.
"i was prepared to go up there and have a last-inning at-bat today, if that what's the case was, and put it all on the line for one at-bat to get a hit," Ethier said.

An NBA lockout is a bad idea

Football to face tough Oklahoma and Texas teams
MATTHEW FURMAN
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
KANSAS 11, WICHITA STATE 2
In case anyone hasn't noticed, Texas and Oklahoma have dominated Big 12 football since the turn of the century. Since 2000, Texas or Oklahoma has won the Big 12 conference championship every year except 2001 and 2003. In 2003, Oklahoma still owned the conference's best record. So in a round robin format without a conference title game, the Sooners would have captured that year's conference title.
With the departures of Colorado and Nebraska beginning this July, the north and south divisions in football will be officially gone. Every team will play each other every season, and the team with the best record will win the conference. The championship game is no longer.
MISSAS 34
For fans of the Longhorns or Sooners, this change in format probably isn't very newsworthy. Both teams have been atop the Big 12 mountain the last decade, whether in the final standings or after the championship game. No, this change won't affect either school. And because the other four south schools, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, have had to play Texas and Oklahoma every year anyway, this new format won't really affect them negatively, either. But for Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, this is nothing but bad news from a scheduling standpoint. The extra millions of dollars from the new television contract should help ease the pain, but the point stands.
Take 2007 for example. Kansas had its most successful season in school history, winning 12 games and capturing the FedEx Orange Bowl. Conveniently, Kansas didn't have to face Texas or Oklahoma that year. Could they have beaten either squad? Sure, they could have. But the team they lost to—Missouri—lost handily to Oklahoma twice that year. With a round robin scheduling format, 2007 wouldn't have been the season Kansas football fans remember with such joy. Maybe that's harsh, but it's the truth. Texas and Oklahoma are on a different level than 99 percent of the country, and Kansas now gets to face both schools on a yearly basis.
Beating the Sooners or Long-horns once is hard enough. Beating them over a twelve game schedule is infinitely more challenging.
Edited by Erin Wilbert
The new television deal is nice, no doubt about it. But if any of the former Big 12 north schools want to even sniff a conference title in the near future, they'll search for two more schools to join the conference, thus putting the divisions back in place. Memphis, Louisville and BYU have been thrown around as possibilities, and any of those schools would be a good fit for the Big 12, especially for every school not named Oklahoma or Texas.

Jayhawks oust Shockers with season bests
Sonhomme catcher Alex DeLeon bats in Wednesday night's game against Wichita State. Kansas defeated the Shockers 11-2, finishing with season bests across the plate.
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Hitting is contagious, and with a team batting average of .256 going into Wednesday night's game at Wichita State (28-21), it is safe to say the Jayhawks (22-24) haven't been too feverish at the plate this season. Something happened to the Kansas batters Wednesday night though — every starter recorded a hit during a 24-hour hitting virus that infected the Jayhawks in their 11-2 win over Wichita State.
the same."
"When the first guy gets that RBI base hit, it makes it contagious throughout your whole dugout," coach Ritch Price said. "When one player clutches up, the next player looks forward to doing
Stringing singles together with timely doubles sprinkled in — particularly in the first three innings — enabled the Jayhawks to jump out to an early 7-0 lead that they would never let up. In total, the Jayhawks finished with a season high of 17 hits — nine of which came with runners on base.
"We get our first RBI base hit, and the next thing you know,
we've got three or four in a row with runners in scoring position," Price said.
Freshman Ka'iana Eldredge got things started in the first inning, scoring from third off an unearned run after a Zac Elgie groundout. Kansas then tacked on another unearned run when sophomore Jake Marasco singled, knocking in senior left fielder Jimmy Waters from second after a throwing error by Wichita State shortstop Tyler Grimes.
With momentum, confidence and a two run lead after the first inning, the Jayhawks' lineup exploded in the second — batting around in the four run inning. Kansas began the inning with three straight hits scoring one run, including a double to right center by sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon.
The Jayhawks finished the inning with two walks and two singles to score two more runs. Keeping the pressure on, Kansas scored another run in the third off an RBI double hit by junior Jason Brunansky.
In the quick three-inning spurt, the Jayhawks had amassed seven runs before the Shockers knew
what hit them.
"It helps your pitching. There's no pressure," sophomore starter Thomas Taylor said. "Everyone's on top of their game after you're up 6-0. No one is going to be playing nervous; they just go right after them, and good things happen."
"I know none of us forgot about the game last year," senior outfielder Casey Lytle said of the Jayhawks 22-7 loss to Wichita State last year. "We weren't going to let up, and I think it showed that we had that focus and willpower going right into the game from the start."
The atypical cushion provided by the bats helped the Kansas pitching staff relax kept the Shockers silent.
Taylor, pitching on a tired arm after starting Saturday, often kept
the Wichita State hitters off balance with a strong slider and fastball — striking out four Shockers in three innings.
Senior pitcher Wally Marciel then came in for a lengthy four-inning relief job and continued to keep the Shockers at a distance. Marciel's only blemish came in the seventin inning when Wichita scored one run off a single followed by a double.
Wednesday's effort led to the Jayhawks putting up season bests across the plate. Kansas rebounded nicely from a four-game skid, winning two of two against Wichita State, and gaining momentum heading into a crucial weekend series against Big 12 preseason favorite Oklahoma.

Kansas to fight for spot in regional tournament
12 7 KANS AS
The team celebrates after a home run hit by senior catcher Brittany Hile in the double-header against Okla. The team finished conference play 2-16. They hope to combine their preseason record of 26-3 with victories in their final three regular season games.
Chris Bronson/KANSAN
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings — Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament.
The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall.
"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The Jayhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games.
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the Jayhawks took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
The Jayhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regionals.
But the team cannot lose its focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
"Its going to be an interesting finish, but we are going to be locked in and ready to play Drake," Smith said.

STOP HER WEIGHT OBSESSION
the juvenile House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the areas only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.

When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
"In the summer, the trees get real full and there less people here. You
many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quarril himself, a Confederate guerrila leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night?' That's a little weird," Dalley said.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dailey said. "The work that we've just put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."

begin their prison time
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Two of the former Athletics employees convicted in a conspiracy to steal and re-sell at least $2 million in tickets have been sent to federal prisons following their sentencing in March.
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Co-defendants in the case Charlette Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband, Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlette Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimumsecurity camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.

The semester is winding down and summer break is on the horizon. This is the second to last Jayplay issue of the semester and my final Jayplay editor's note, as well as my last semester at KU after five glorious years of being a student. I don't want to get all sentimental so I'll just say what's on my mind.
This has been a crazy week. A long-needed feeling of relief has washed over this country now that the decade-long search for Osama Bin Laden is over. Hearing the news Sunday night lifted a weight off of me that I had forgotten was there. We, as a country, have been living with that weight since 2001. I heard people cheering in the streets outside of my apartment. I heard fireworks and car horns. I watched on TV as people rejoiced in the death of a man that has brought so much pain to this country. People of all colors, faiths and backgrounds have come together again, even if it is for a brief moment.
Alexandra's story on page 5 is about having civil conversations to resolve conflicts that arise. While the focus of her story is on personal relationships with family, friends
and loved ones, I think the information she presents could be used when focusing on the bigger picture as well.
All politics aside, I, for one, am tired of the partisan name-calling, left/right, liberal/conservative, us-vs-them, socialist/nazi, bierth, muslim/christian, hateful nonsense that has been dominating the discourse on both sides for far too long. I think it's time we start having civil discussions and actively listen to each other to create a positive solution for this country. I think it's time we make amends and realize that we can actually agree on things and work together on the issues we might disagree on. I think fear is not an issue if we help one another regardless of race, religion, politics, etc. Let's rejoice in the fact that we are united and let's continue to heal the wounds that have remained open for the past 10 years. I think we owe each other that.
That's my two cents.
P. S. It's been fun editing Jayplay for you. I wish you all the best, and I hope your summer is a good one. Check out the photo feature on the KU club baseball team on page 8 and get ready for summer ball games. Good luck on finals in the next couple of weeks. Maybe I'll see you at a Royal's game or Free State when the weather's nice. Until then... happy trails.

"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
the miner House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the areas only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
"In the summer, the trees get real
full and there's less people. You
hear."
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quantrill himself, a Confederate guerrila leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.

The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
Chris Neal/KANSAN
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night.' That's a little weird,' Dailey said.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid." Dailey said. "The work that we've put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

KANSAS IN HEAT // CLEAN ORAL SEX > Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
// MIKE ANDERSON
If it is really a problem for you, then perhaps you could try some shower sex. Maybe changing up his personal hygiene might help both of you. If you're worried about the taste,you could always mask it by keeping a peppermint or wintergreen hard candy in your mouth before or during fellatio. In the end, however, I find it unrealistic for both sexes to assume the other needs to shower every time they want oral sex.
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 KJHK.
90.7fm and at kjhk.org
I think you need to be careful with your expectations here. Sex can be a dirty act. If you can only have oral sex with him after he has thoroughly showered, then I would let him know that.
Q. My guy loves for me to go downtown. However, I can't handle it when the area isn't squeaky clean.I like to make sure that I'm "fresh and minty". Why does he expect me to go downtown when the street sweepers haven't been by?
BREWERS
Beating the Sooners or Long-horns once is hard enough. Beating them over a twelve game schedule is infinitely more challenging.
A. I'll assume by street sweepers you are referring to his odor and not necessarily his taste. I'm pretty sure he doesn't view his penis or the act of oral sex as dirty. In his mind, he doesn't need to be squeaky clean. Both sexes have natural odors, and unless a guy has been sweating all day, he might not even be able to smell his goods.
I understand your desire to be "fresh and mint," but it is not always possible to shower or bathe before a sexual act. The spontaneity and spice of sex is sometimes too good to interrupt with a cleansing session. Saying to your partner, "I only want to go down on you after you've had a shower" does not always sound too sexy, nor does it really help with his self-esteem. Unless he has been rubbing his penis in the dirt, sweating, or any combination of the two, I think it is reasonable to enjoy oral sex without a mandatory shower. If he smells particularly bad then perhaps he should see a doctor about an infection.

PARKER MAYER
A. As I've stated before, vagina smells (and tastes) like vagina, not flowers, not perfume, not baby powder and not mint. As with the female genitalia, men also have natural odors and some natural bacteria.
Some people claim the smell or taste of the lubricant and discharge of the genitals can be altered by diet, the most common claim advocating the consumption of fruits like pineapple. This is sort of true. If you normally consume animal-based foods, processed foods, high amounts of alcohol or caffeine, and smoke, then eating a can of pineapple slices will not affect the taste of your semen or vaginal lubricant. To "change" the way you taste, you need a lifestyle change: a clean vegetarian diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and unprocessed foods, with no caffeine, alcohol or drugs.
You don't like the way your man "smells." If he takes a shower every day, then I can't imagine the odor is anything but natural sweat and bacteria from his body. If you are noticing anything unnatural about his odor, such as a yeasty smell, then have him pay a quick visit to the doctor for a check-up and STI test to rule out anything related to health or medications.
Sex is sweaty, sticky, musty and hot. Requiring a shower or "street sweeper" before every sexual encounter will disrupt the heat of the moment coitus.
Your partner enjoys the pleasure you give him. Don't rest on the excuse you prefer he smell like Downy April Shower to get out of giving oral sex. Don't require a plan or regulate sex. Rather, enjoy the act in all its olfactory glory. Or, only go down on him in the shower.

school. This because the other four south schools, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, have had to play Texas and Oklahoma every year anyway, this new format won't really affect them negatively, either. But for Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, this is nothing but bad news from a scheduling standpoint. The extra millions of dollars from the new television contract should help ease the pain, but the point stands.
Take 2007 for example. Kansas had its most successful season in school history, winning 12 games and capturing the FedEx Orange Bowl. Conveniently, Kansas didrt have to face Texas or Oklahoma that year. Could they have beaten either squad? Sure, they could have. But the team they lost to—Missouri—lost handily to Oklahoma twice that year. With a round robin scheduling format; 2007 wouldn't have been the season Kansas football fans remember with such joy. Maybe that's harsh, but it's the truth. Texas and Oklahoma are on a different level than 99 percent of the country, and Kansas now gets to face both schools on a yearly basis.
The new television deal is nice, no doubt about it. But if any of the former Big 12 north schools want to even sniff a conference title in the near future, they'll search for two more schools to join the conference, thus putting the divisions back in place. Memphis, Louisville and BYU have been thrown around as possibilities, and any of those schools would be a good fit for the Big 12, especially for every school not named Oklahoma or Texas.

Kansas to fight for spot in regional tournament

The team celebrates after a home run hit by senior catcher Brittany Hile in the double-header against Okla. The team finished conference play 2-16. They hope to combine their preseason record of 26-3 with victories in their final three regular season games.
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall.
The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings — Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The Jayhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games.
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the Jayhawks took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
The Jayhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regions.
But the team cannot lose its focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
"Its going to be an interesting finish, but we are going to be locked in and ready to play Drake," Smith said.

DIPLOMATIC DISCUSSIONS
WHEN CONFLICTS ARISE, TALK YOUR WAY TO A CIVIL SOLUTION
// ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO
JENNIFER GRAHAM
Dana Diec was on a date with her boyfriend and two other couples. While the other couples were laughing and holding hands, Diec's boyfriend seemed cold and distant. She didn't know what was wrong.
EFFECTIVE EXPRESSION
In order to express a conflict without starting an argument, approach the situation tactfully and calmly, says John Wade, psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). According to Wade, research shows that the way a conversation begins sets the tone for the rest of the conversation, especially in relationships. "If it's a sensitive topic, start it up gently and not in an antagonistic manner," Wade says. "If you construct things in a softened way, [the conversation] is likely to continue in that direction."
Let's say you're worried about a friend whose going out habits are negatively affecting the rest of his life. How can you tactfully approach this
Good communication is vital to any relationship. In the time you spend interacting with friends, co-workers, family members and significant others, conflicts like Diec's are unavoidable. It's important to be able to express how you're feeling in a civil way, and in return, listen to people who need to share a feeling with you.
Diec, WaKeeny senior, tried to ignore her boyfriend's standoffish behavior, until the ride home when she confronted him. He explained that he was not upset, but just felt uncomfortable because he didn't know the other couples as well as she did "I listened to his side of the story, then made it clear he made me feel like he was mad and ignoring me, when it was entirely something else," Diec says."After talking about it, I wasn't mad anymore."
Chris Sowa, assistant director for residence life at the University, who received his master's in organizational and multi-cultural communications, says communication has three components: the person who sends the message, the person who receives the message and the message itself. When these pieces work together, resolving a conflict is simple.
conversation? Wade suggests speaking to this person when they're in a good mood so they'll be more likely to listen. Make sure you both have ample time to devote to the conversation, as it could take a while and shouldn't be rushed. When you begin the conversation, avoid labeling your friend with statements like, "You're an alcoholic," or "You party too much." Labels appear as an attack, and your friend can dismiss them and end the conversation or argue. Instead, state the issue from a position of concern and express observable behavior rather than your opinion, says Wade. Use statements like, "I'm concerned because you've been sleeping through your morning classes," or "I've noticed you've been really tired lately. I'm concerned."
Listen up: When discussing a sensitive subject, be a good listener by using cues such as shaking your head and keeping eye contact with the person speaking.
Photo illustration by Jerry Wang
When having a conversation, remember that listening to how your message is received is
Now it's your turn to act as the listener and give your friend a chance to explain what's going on. Maybe they're stressed about school, or they're upset about something that's happening at home. If this is the case, suggest the services available at CAPS (an appointment costs most students $15.)
ACTIVE LISTENING
just as important as expressing the message. "Really have in mind that the goal is to listen equally well," Wade, the CAPS psychologist, says. "Good communication is where both people feel understood."
It's important to show the person you're speaking to that you're listening because "listeners also send messages by the way they act while receiving the message," Sowa, the residence life assistant director, says. He suggests using active listening cues like shaking your head and keeping eye contact with the person speaking. Listeners can also
paraphrase, or tell the story back to the speaker and "fact check" to make sure they understood the message. If you don't get it, ask the speaker to clarify, because if you don't understand what they're saying, you will not be able to fix the problem.
Sometimes your emotions get the best of you, and you may forget these discussion skills. But hope is not lost. To recover from a communication blunder, Wade says to apologize and accept responsibility for what you said. Then re-explain, in a civil way, what you meant to express and start the conversation over.
DIGITAL DISCUSSION
It's easy to use technology to communicate, but is it an appropriate medium for resolving a conflict? The experts weigh in:
JOHN WADE [psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services];
"There are a lot of situations where things are misinterpreted through text or Facebook. Seventy percent of communication is non-verbal, and all of that is missed through texts or anything electronic."
CHRIS SOWA [assistant director for residence life];
"I think [technology] is appropriate, because it's happening, so to totally not do it is probably not realistic. You can type in a smile and say, 'you really pissed me off today,' but that really says, 'you angered me and I'm softening the blow.' Instead of trying to minimize the emotion, do it in person so the conversation and emotion can flow naturally."

HOW WE MET // BODIE AGADA & MARA WILLIAMS > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Bodie Agada and Mara Williams, both Topeka juniors, worked at West Ridge Mall in Topeka during their senior year of high school. Williams was a manager at Pacific Sunwear (PacSun) and Agada was a manager at S&K. One day in December 2008, Williams was rearranging a shelf at PacSun when Agada and a few friends walked in, dressed in suits, and introduced themselves to Williams. "We talked a lot, and it wasn't awkward at all," Williams says.
Later that day, Agada posted a message on Williams' Facebook wall, explaining his formal attire. "It was something like, 'I'm not a douchebag. I have to wear a suit at my job,' and then he asked for my number,'" Williams says.

Soon after, Agada started working at PacSun part-time, and his work relationship with Williams was rocky. "We didn't like working together," Williams says. "He wouldn't take the job, or me, the manager, seriously."
Nonetheless, Agada was attracted to Williams. "She was very put together and confident, and I liked that," he says.
The couple had their first date 10 months after meeting, but their connection fizzled, and they didn't pursue a second date until months later. They finally sealed their romantic connection through their stomachs. Williams surprised Agada at work with homemade brownies, and Agada brought Williams cookies and Starbursts to return the favor.
Williams told Agada that he couldn't take her on a date if he still worked at PacSun, so Agada quit. The two have been dating since July 2009, but they still argue about whether Williams fired Agada or if Agada quit on his own terms.

CATCH OF THE WEEK // IIHAM ABUANGA > Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
HOBBIES: I love moving around — walking, running and exercising. I like to say I'm artistic. I don't always draw, doodle or write, but I'm really creative and I like making the place around me look good. I love hanging out with my siblings and my mom, just going to the (Country Club) Plaza (Kansas City, Mo.) and shopping with my sisters.
DREAM DATE: I want to go bungee jumping.
I know that sounds really crazy, but I want to try that or sky diving. It's just so crazy and adventurous.
**TURN-OFFS:** I don't like guys with big egos. Guys who are really rude...like if they know they're cute and they get a big head from that, I can't stand it.
WHY I'M A CATCH: I don't know, I don't like to brag! I'm a really cool, easy-going girl. I'm easy to communicate with. I don't judge people right off the bat; I like to talk to people and get to know them.

**TURN-ONS:** I like guys who are smart, down-to-earth, respectful and who keep up with their looks.
NOTICES IN POTENTIAL PARTNER: When I first meet a guy I notice how talkative he is and how he carries himself in conversations. That shows me how interested he is in a person or what's going on around him.
HOW WE MET // MICHELLE HUFFMAN & SADIE > All great relationships had to start somewhere
JENNIFER CARTER
Michelle and Sadie share similarities they live together, watch TV together and go on walks together. But Michelle and Sadie are slightly different — Sadie is Michelle's dog. To Michelle Huffman, Branson, Mo., senior, Sadie, a 2-year-old miniature schauzer, is not just her dog, but her best friend.
Two years ago, Huffman received a call that her foster brother and his girlfriend just bought two new puppies, but they weren't able to take care of both, and needed someone to adopt one of them. Thrilled that she'd be getting a free puppy, Huffman jumped in her car and made the three-hour drive from Lawrence to Branson to meet her new mysterious friend. "It felt like a blind date," Huffman says. "I've never even owned a pet before, so I really didn't know what I was getting myself into."

Paw-fet friendship
Michelle Huffman
and her dog Sadie
have become inseparable over the past two years.
It wasn't love at first sight for the duo. When Huffman arrived she was surprised to find two opposite-looking dogs: Rascal, who was adorable with big, dark eyes, and Sadie, who was disproportionate and goofy-looking. Huffman wasn't too thrilled when her foster brother chose to keep Rascal, but she accepted Sadie anyways and hauled her
back to Lawrence.
The first few months were a nightmare. Sadie wasn't housebroken; she whined, ran into oncoming traffic and chewed up everything.
In the last two years, they've only spent 12 weeks apart, when Huffman attended camp last summer. "I had to buy a Build-A-Bear stuffed animal to sleep with because I missed sleeping with Sadie so much," Huffman says.
After a while, Huffman and Sadie finally made a strong connection once the puppy phase was over. "When she gets excited she wiggles her butt and looks up at me," Huffman says.

four south schools, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, have had to play Texas and Oklahoma every year anyway, this new format won't really affect them negatively, either. But for Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, this is nothing but bad news from a scheduling standpoint. The extra millions of dollars from the new television contract should help ease the pain, but the point stands.
Take 2007 for example. Kansas had its most successful season in school history, winning 12 games and capturing the FedEx Orange Bowl. Conveniently, Kansas didn't have to face Texas or Oklahoma that year. Could they have beaten either squad? Sure, they could have. But the team they lost to—Missouri—lost handily to Oklahoma twice that year. With a round robin scheduling format, 2007 wouldn't have been the season Kansas football fans remember with such joy. Maybe that's harsh, but it's the truth. Texas and Oklahoma are on a different level than 99 percent of the country, and Kansas now gets to face both schools on a yearly basis.
The new television deal is nice, no doubt about it. But if any of the former Big 12 north schools want to even sniff a conference title in the near future, they'll search for two more schools to join the conference, thus putting the divisions back in place. Memphis, Louisville and BYU have been thrown around as possibilities, and any of those schools would be a good fit for the Big 12, especially for every school not named Oklahoma or Texas.

Freshman Kaiana Eldredge got things started in the first inning, scoring from third off an unearned run after a Zac Elgie groundout.

three straight hits scoring one run, including a double to right center by sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon.

In the quick three-inning spurt, the Jayhawks had amassed seven runs before the Shockers knew
The atypical cushion provided by the bats helped the Kansas pitching staff relax kept the Shockers silent.
"It helps your pitching. There's no pressure," sophomore starter Thomas Taylor said. "Everyone's on top of their game after you're up 6-0. No one is going to be playing nervous; they just go right after them, and good things happen."
Wednesday's effort led to the Jayhawks putting up season bests across the plate. Kansas rebounded nicely from a four-game skid, winning two of two against Wichita State, and gaining momentum heading into a crucial weekend series against Big 12 preseason favorite Oklahoma.

Kansas to fight for spot in regional tournament
KANSAS 12 7
Chris Bronson/KANSAM The team celebrates after a home run hit by senior catcher Brittany Hile in the double-header against Okla. The team finished conference play 2-16. They hope to combine their preseason record of 26-3 with victories in their final three regular season games.

"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall.
The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings — Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games.
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the Jayhawks took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
tury competition. The Jayhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regionals.
But the team cannot lose it's focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
"It's going to be an interest- ing finish, but we are going to be locked in and ready to play Drake," Smith said.

The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
the Miller House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the area's only remnants of the Underground Railroad.

"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.

many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quantrill himself, a Confederate guerrila leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.

"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night! That's a little weird,' Dailey said.
Chris Neal/KANSAN
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Junderground Railroad during the Civil War.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dalley said. "The work that we've just put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

Two of the former Athletics employees convicted in a conspiracy to steal and re-sell at least $2 million in tickets have been sent to federal prisons following their sentencing in March.
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Co-defendants in the case Charlotte Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband, Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlotte Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimum-security camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.

This past weekend in Columbia, Mo., the team played four games in two days with a roster of just ten men. They may not have the fan base or the funding of an NCAA Division-I team, but they are all dedicated to the sport they love, because they have to be.
The club baseball team will host Kansas State in a double-header this Friday, May 6, at 7 p.m. at Holcom Sports Complex in Lawrence.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS // HEADACHE REMEDIES
> If you're going to do it, be smart.
When Amanda Schulze feels a headache coming on, she reaches for two things: Excedrin Migraine and a pillow. "After I take a nap, I feel well-rested and energized," Schulze, Wichita freshman, says.
Common causes of headaches among college students are muscle contraction or blood vessel irritation. The pain and inflammation occur for a variety of reasons, including increased stress, dehydration or an illness like a cold or viral infection, says Benjamin Wedo, a professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin. As most headaches are due to spasm and inflammation of the scalp muscles, medications like Advil and Motrin work their magic on headaches with an anti-inflammatory effect, just like they would on any other sore muscles on the body.
RIPEN UP
Medication isn't the only way to fight off a headache, however. Wedo also recommends the following:

No more meds: Treating the headache with a massage or heat can help relieve the pain.
Treat the area of the scalp that is sore with ice or heat.
Massage the muscles to relieve some of the spasm and inflammation.
Stretch out the neck muscles. These muscles are interrelated with the scalp muscles, so when they get tight, they can go into spasm and cause a headache as well.
Seek out a dark, quiet room and try to rest.

Stresses of life got you tied in a knot? Sixty minutes with your local masseuse may be exactly what you need to unwind. Research has shown that massage therapy is both physically and mentally beneficial.

"Massages help to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and increase range of motion, while also bringing the client to a state of deep relaxation," Christine Holland-Gerson, owner of Body Balance Healing, says.

Studies conducted by the Touch Research Institute have found massage therapy can enhance attentiveness, reduce stress hormones and alleviate depressive symptoms. "My clients report feeling wonderful after a massage," Holland-Gerson says. "For some, it is the only time they are able to experience relaxation in their busy lives."
The positive effect massage therapy can have on productivity has made corporate chair massage one of the most popular benefits in the workplace, and, if you're lucky, the KU dorms. "When I lived in the dorms last year, they offered free massages for students to relieve stress before exams," Taylor Ballis, Naperville, Ill., sophomore, says. If you don't live in a dorm or need more than a 15-minute quickie, you can expect to pay $45 to $60 for an hour massage at one of Lawrence's five day spas, including Salon Di Marco, Massage Envy and Rejuvene Salon and Day Spa.
Beating the Sooners or Longhorns once is hard enough. Beating them over a twelve game schedule is infinitely more challenging.

GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU // AROMATHERAPY CANDLES > Sometimes it's hard to tell
The new television deal is nice, no doubt about it. But if any of the former Big 12 north schools want to even sniff a conference title in the near future, they'll search for two more schools to join the conference, thus putting the divisions back in place. Memphis, Louisville and BYU have been thrown around as possibilities, and any of those schools would be a good fit for the Big 12, especially for every school not named Oklahoma or Texas.
The exotic names, vivacious scents and promise of better health are often enough to entice Americans into spending $20 on a candle, but do they work?
Aromatherapy candles contain extracted plant oils that have been used to improve psychological and physical health for centuries. Because each of the 58 essential oils used in aromatherapy affect the body differently, choosing the appropriate oil is important. "I use aromatherapy candles containing eucalyptus once a month to clear my sinuses," Stu Brand, Overland Park KU alumnus, says.
When you inhale essential oils, the olfactory receptor cells that transmit impulses to the limbic system are stimulated. The limbic system, known as the emotional center of the brain, is connected to areas of the brain linked to memory, breathing and blood circulation. "It really is a science," Marcia Butell, owner of Rejuvene Salon and Spa, says. "Because it has an effect on the body, you want to make sure you choose the right oil."

Reijuvene, 13 E. 8th St., began selling its own line of aromatherapy candles in 2001. The line features three candles, each creating a different effect when burnt. The Balancing candle contains lavender, ylang ylang and patchouli to create an atmosphere of relaxation. The Energy candle has peppermint oil to aide in concentration, while the Peace candle containing mint oil is used as a decongestant.
While all scented candles are effective in masking odors or setting the mood, only aromatherapy candles containing essential oils can benefit your health. "The candles put me in a trance that takes my mind off the day and my worries away," Brand says.
Take 2007 for example. Kansas had its most successful season in school history, winning 12 games and capturing the FedEx Orange Bowl. Conveniently, Kansas didn't have to face Texas or Oklahoma that year. Could they have beaten either squad? Sure, they could have. But the team they lost to—Missouri—lost handily to Oklahoma twice that year. With a round robin scheduling format, 2007 wouldn't have been the season Kansas football fans remember with such joy. Maybe that's harsh, but it's the truth. Texas and Oklahoma are on a different level than 99 percent of the country, and Kansas now gets to face both schools on a yearly basis.
four south schools, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, have had to play Texas and Oklahoma every year anyway, this new format won't really affect them negatively, either. But for Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, this is nothing but bad news from a scheduling standpoint. The extra millions of dollars from the new television contract should help ease the pain, but the point stands.

The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall.
The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The jayhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games.
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the Layhaws took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
competitor. The Jayhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regionals.
But the team cannot lose it's focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
"Its going to be an interesting finish, but we are going to be locked in and ready to play Drake." Smith said.

A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
the inner House, the largest item in Dennis Dalley's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the areas only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
"Ive always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.

many of the communitys buildings. But the residence has history with William Quarrill himself, a Confederate guerrilla leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dailey said. "The work that we've just put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night.' That's a little weird," Dailey said.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

begin their prison time
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Two of the former Athletics employees convicted in a conspiracy to steal and re-sell at least $2 million in tickets have been sent to federal prisons following their sentencing in March.
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimum-security camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.
Co-defendants in the case Charlette Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband, Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlette Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.

Here's the truth: I don't swear like a sailor. Sailors swear like me.
When I tell Jim O'Connor, the author of the book Cuss Control, that I'm trying to quit swearing for a week, he tells me to come up with substitute words. He suggests words like "shoot," but I'm sure I can do better.
I come up with two sentences to help me remember the words I'm not allowed to say and my new substitute words: "Holy Shakespeare, that falcon carp kicked your aardvark! What a biff."

Beating the Sooners or Longhorns once is hard enough. Beating them over a twelve game schedule is infinitely more challenging.
Cee Lo Green's song "F*ck you" comes on the radio. I swear along (f). I receive an unfriendly email from a coworker. I swear (b). A kid on TV just blew a huge snot bubble. I swear (sh). Oh Shakespeare, I'm in trouble.
O'Connor doesn't take issue with the swear words themselves, but with the way they're used. "Most of the swearing that we do and hear is expressing something negative," he says.
Though I failed miserably in my cuss-free quest, I think O'Connor has a point. I'll keep swearing (why stop now?), but in the future, I'll try to stop being such a falcon negative biff about it.

Aspiring bakers can decorate their cakes and eat them, too, at Michaels arts and crafts store, 3106 Iowa St. #210. Michaels offers weekly hands-on cake decorating classes with Anne Munsterman.
"It's a skill that'll never go out of style, because we're always going to love eating cake," she says.
There are classes for experienced decorators and novices. Sam Neurnberger, St. Louis senior, has yet to take a class, but as an avid Ace of Cakes viewer, she wants to learn. "I see a Tar Heels cake with 3D flames sticking out of it and I'm like, Damn! How can I do that?"
Cake Decorating I covers the basics of making icing, leveling cakes and frosting techniques. Cake Decorating II teaches students to design cakes, cover them with butter cream frosting and fondant and create basic flower arrangements. Cake Decorating III teaches students how to make more elaborate fondant and gum paste embellishments, including flowers and geometric designs.
Each course costs $45 for four classes, each lasting two hours once a week, usually on Sunday afternoons or Monday nights. Students also have to purchase a supply kit, which costs between $35 and $40, plus their own cake mixes from any grocery store.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // MAKING THE PERFECT
THE PERFECT MARGARITA
> In case of emergency, read quickly
It's Cinco de Mayo, the perfect day for a margarita. Rachel Tisdale, bartender at the Salty Iguana, 4931 W. 6th St., offers advice on creating the perfect fiesta beverage.
A lot of tequila:"Most people choose Patron," Tisdale says."But I prefer Duan Julio."
Regardless of the brand, the best margaritas are made with a gold tequila, rather than silver. "If you're making a margarita, use gold tequila. If you're taking shots, use silver," Tisdale says.
Add-ins: In addition to tequila, a margarita needs Triple Sec, a liqueur used as a sweetening agent in mixed drinks. "For every two shots of
tequila, add one shot of Triple Sec," Tisdale says.
If you're going for a classic margarita, add lime juice. But if you're feeling adventurous, other flavors can be used. Shaneisha Willis, Little Rock, Ark., senior, says she simply combines a premade margarita mix with tequila for a fruity taste. "My favorites are strawberry and mango." Willis says.
---
Frozen vs. "on the rocks": For a frozen margarita, combine all of your ingredients, along with ice, into a blender until you've reached a slushy consistency. If you're partial to the "On the Rocks" style, simply place all of your ingredients into a cocktail shaker and pour over ice.

Photo by Gabrielle Schock Margaritaville: Making the perfect margarita depends on personal taste and ingredients.
Salt on the rim: Salt on the rim of the glass contrasts the sweetness of the mix. The easiest way to do this is to wet the rim of your glass with lime juice, then turn the glass over onto a plate of salt. "Kosher salt works well if you don't have margarita salt," Tisdale says. Now you're ready to make the perfect margarita. Enjoy.

The United States won't celebrate its independence day for another two months, but it's never too early to start feeling patriotic.
Kansas City will host the first installment of America: Now and Here, a traveling, multimediaart exhibit, beginning May 6 in the Crossroads Art District of Kansas City.
Combining theatre, film, poetry, music and visual arts, America: Now and Here plans to use art as a way to "stimulate discussion of America in a positive way," Sami Ghazi, account executive working to promote the exhibit, says. "It's a unique theme with a really diverse set of programming; we really want to bring together both the Kansas City art community and the national featured artists."
Over a four-week period, the exhibit will host a variety of activities, from making a print of your favorite American patriot, watching a short film made by local filmmakers or listening to a discussion about America pop culture.
The custom-designed, mobile truck galleries that will present America: Now and Here will be parked at 2012 Baltimore Ave, Kansas City, Mo.,

the Miter House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the area's only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
"Ive always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing." Dailey said.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.

The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.

"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dailey said. "The work that we've put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night.' That's a little weird,' Dalley said.
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.

begin their prison time
Two of the former Athletics employees convicted in a conspiracy to steal and re-sell at least $2 million in tickets have been sent to federal prisons following their sentencing in March.
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimum-security camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.
Co-defendants in the case Charlotte Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband, Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlotte Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.

STYLE REVIEW // DENIM
> Get it while it's haute.
The best part of spring is digging deep in your closet and searching for those old daisy dukes that match perfectly with a band tee for weekend wear. As the warm weather comes full circle, so does eating ice cream, strolling through the park and venturing to outdoor concerts. As Americans, we are oh-so-proud of our denim on a yearly basis, but in the spring, it not only dresses our bottom half but accessorizes our outfit as well. To update a basic t-shirt-and-jeans look, simply wear a jean jacket — and don't worry, you will not turn out like Justin and Britney's denim-duo on the red carpet circa 2001. Stick to no more than two denim pieces and you will look trendy, not cheesy.
and make them your own by gluing on buttons, patches or beads, and pair with a cut-off vintage tee for an eclectic, carefree impression.
For those who have more of a classic-American taste, opt for dark-wash denim shorts that sit roughly at mid-thigh. Roll them up a couple of times and pair with a pastel blouse and navy blue flats for a vacation-ready look. For those a bit more on the wild side, take out your old daisy dukes. But this time, rip up the bottom half. For inspiration, go to runwaydreamz.com

MOVIE REVIEW // THE CONSPIRATOR
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
The War Department, led by the simpering autocrat Edwin Stanton (Kevin Kline), decides that Mary is no longer worthy of her constitutional rights, instead opting to leave her at the mercy of a military tribunal in lieu
Robert Redford's new period piece The Conspirator is a welcome gift for history buffs everywhere. The film sheds some much-needed light on one of the greatest injustices ever perpetrated by the United States government on one of its own citizens. The heretofore neglected tragedy unfolds in the months following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
The movie opens with a meticulous recreation of the murder and the largely bungled conspiracy behind it, deftly capturing the abject horror of the moment and the outcry for vengeance that followed. After all but one of the conspirators are captured or killed, public suspicion is cast on Mary Surratt (Robin Wright) the owner of the boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and his fellows allegedly planned their crimes.
of a trial by her peers. Her attorney is Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy), a retired Union war hero who initially has nothing but contempt for his Southern-born client.
Aiken's attempts to prove Mary's innocence are decidedly half-hearted until he realizes what a dangerous precedent the trial is setting, one whose effects are still being felt in today's world of extraordinary rendition and Guantanamo detainees. McAvoy ably portrays his character's crisis of conscience, and a fine acting ensemble, including Evan Rachel Wood, Tom Wilkinson, Danny Huston and Stephen Root, assist him. Although the effusive courtroom exchanges may wear a bit thin on some audience members, the emotional pay-off and admirable social relevance make Redford's film an intriguing dramatic exercise well worth an eventual viewing, although one could be forgiven for skipping it in theaters.

MUSIC REVIEW // VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'THAI? DAI!"
> KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. | (B-MUSIC)
Eclectic crate-digger Andy Votel returns with a golden collection of underground favorites from Thailand. The compilation features tunes from mid-1970s Thai musicians that were fascinated by American funk, soul, blues, psych, folk, hard rock and pop. Votel worked with Chris Menist and DJ Maft Sai to craft this soullful mix as part of Votel's Finders Keepers/B-Music reissue marathon.
The new television deal is nice, no doubt about it. But if any of the former Big 12 north schools want to even sniff a conference title in the near future, they'll search for two more schools to join the conference, thus putting the divisions back in place. Memphis, Louisville and BYU have been thrown around as possibilities, and any of those schools would be a good fit for the Big 12, especially for every school not named Oklahoma or Texas.
The CD begins with Sroeng Santi's romping rendition of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." The liner notes explain that Sroeng doesn't simply translate Sabbath's lyrics to Thai.
Like a number of the songs on this compilation, the lyrics are altogether different and more concerned with Thai life. On "Kuen Kuen Lueng Lueng" (the "Iron Man" cover) the subject matter involves the waxing and waning moon and its similarity to the ever-rising food prices in Thai markets. Fast-forward to the last track and you've got Jalwal, Annie and Geersak performing a more fuzzed and dissonant version of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4." Everything else in between is derived from a handful of influences, from African/Jamaican roots to the strained garage buzz of The Sonics, as well as a blend of traditional Thai and Western instrumentation with late '50s/early '60s surf and proto-punk.

CROWN
THAI? DAL!
A driving force behind this compilation is the current youthful celebration and rediscovery of this music by certain scenes within Bangkok. Maft and Menist hold late-night dance parties to cater to this particular audience, blasting a number of the same songs featured on Thai? Dail at the regularly held Paradise Bangkok event. Play this at a party and you will inevitably get some odd looks and moving hips.
★★★// ALEX TRETBAR
four south schools, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, have had to play Texas and Oklahoma every year anyway, this new format won't really affect them negatively, either. But for Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, this is nothing but bad news from a scheduling standpoint. The extra millions of dollars from the new television contract should help ease the pain, but the point stands.
Take 2007 for example. Kansas had its most successful season in school history, winning 12 games and capturing the FedEx Orange Bowl. Conveniently, Kansas didnt have to face Texas or Oklahoma that year. Could they have beaten either squad? Sure, they could have.
But the team they lost to—Missouri—lost handily to Oklahoma twice that year. With a round robin scheduling format, 2007 wouldn't have been the season Kansas football fans remember with such joy. Maybe that's harsh, but it's the truth. Texas and Oklahoma are on a different level than 99 percent of the country, and Kansas now gets to face both schools on a yearly basis.

The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall.
The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings — Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The Jayhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games. The final
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the layhawks took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
The jayhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regionals.
But the team cannot lose it's focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
"Its going to be an interesting finish, but we are going to be locked in and ready to play Drake." Smith said.

WEIGHED DOWN ONE JAYPLAY WRITER SPENDS YEARS TRYING TO COPE WITH BODY IMAGE ISSUES
// LINDSEY SIEGELE
ENDS YEARS
BODY IMAGE ISSUES
Narrow-minded: At 12 years old, Lindsey Siegele weighed about 120 pounds, but she thought she was enormous. She stopped eating lunches at school and her weight obsession started to get worse.
I'm seven or eight years old. I'm at my grandparents' house in Arkansas, and I'm getting ready to take a shower. I've been out on the lake all day with my family, learning how to waterski and soaking in the sun.
Contributed photo
I can't remember when I first started obsessing about weight, but when I try to, one vivid memory snaps into my head:
My older sister is with me in the bathroom. At that age, we did everything together, and that included showering. I don't remember how our conversation started, or how she was prompted, but I remember her issuing this statement as I removed my bathing suit: "You're not fat — you're pleasantly plump!"
It's a hilarious incident to look back on. I'm more than a little embarrassed that one of my most traumatic memories includes the phrase, "pleasantly plump." Nonetheless, my weight obsession ran so deep from such an early age that my sister might as well have wrung my neck with a bath towel right then and there.
I asked myself whether I had an eating disorder over and over again. Did I have an eating disorder when I was in grade school and refused to sit cross legged because it made my thigh fat protrude an inch? How about when I was 13 and didn't eat lunch in the school cafeteria for fear that someone might have a remark about the heavy girl eating french fries? (At 5 feet 8 inches and 120 pounds, I was hardly fat, but my friends were all shorter and lighter than I was.)
Reading about girls with eating disorders was like looking in the unflattering mirrors to which I had become so accustomed. When I was in high school, I counted the calories I late every day, making sure to burn off practically all of them on the treadmill. I attempted to purge my meals on a few occasions, always failing, and hating myself that much more as a result. I starved myself for days at a time, or ate ridiculous diets of a few Oreos and Goldfish crackers a day.
But there was a difference between me and those eating disorder girls you see on TV, in magazines and in the news. Those girls are
skinny. So skinny, in fact, that their elbows and knees look perpetually swollen and their eyes bug out from their sunken faces. Their illnesses were obvious to me, and I knew that I wasn't one of them. In high school, I remember thinking that the only difference between them and me was self control. They had it, I didn't.
Always, my aching, starving stomach would lead me back to a large meal and a pint of ice cream. Any weight I had lost would come rushing back, leaving me bloated and upset.
I started college in the worst possible way. It was 2004, I was severely depressed (something I was being treated for) and I had gained about 15 pounds the previous summer. The idea of leaving my dorm room was terrifying, let alone making new friends and attending classes.
Sweatpants were my best friends. My old clothes didn't fit me anymore, and I refused to go to the store and buy the size 12s I needed. I know now that lots of college freshmen deal with gaining weight, but I felt infinitely alone. I stopped going to classes, and I dropped out of school during my second semester.
Despite months of therapy and soul searching, I never discovered a trigger for the severe sadness I experienced during that time in my life. I had a great life and family and all of the opportunities in the world. Weight was an easy scapegoat for a complex problem that defied obvious answers.
My slow healing process began with the realization that much of my food obsession didn't actually have anything to do with food. When I was depressed, I blamed food. When I got my depression under control, my hatred of food began to dissolve.
Today, I'm not fixed. I'm better, in that my weight doesn't mean as much to me as it used to. A year ago, I was able to get on the scale, when I knew the result wouldn't be pretty. I was able to buy the size 12s that I needed without sobbing at the checkout.
I became a vegetarian and then a vegan as part of a graduate research project, and the experience took my involvement with food away from selfish loathing. I started to view
food as an ethical decision — a commentary on my personal values — and once eating became a part of something larger than myself, I was able to get my weight back under control in a healthy way that didn't involve deprivation.
I still fight the urge to over-exercise, and I know that I find too much satisfaction in a good day on the scale. I envy my friends who eat what they want without fear of emotional consequence. I still have to persuade myself to believe that it's OK to have a handful of Skittles now and then.
Other girls go through what I've experienced — I've been friends with some of them. We hide our problems behind average-sized hips
and second and third slices of pizza.As a collective, we can and should find solace in the fact that the perfection we seek in our bodies is mirrored in the obsessions and addictions of those around us: the tanorexics, the people pleasers and the workoholics.
We're all on a journey to better ourselves, despite the consequences. The key, at least for me, has been to find a limit — the point at which "good" is good enough, and "perfect" isn't worth the risks.

Wednesday's effort led to the Jayhawks putting up season bests across the plate. Kansas rebounded nicely from a four-game skid, winning two of two against Wichita State, and gaining momentum heading into a crucial weekend series against Big 12 preseason favorite Oklahoma.

The Big 12 conference has a total of 10 teams, eight of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally by either the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll or the USA Today Coaches' Poll and more often than not, both. It is an incredibly challenging conference to succeed in and the teams that are leading the standings — Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma State — are teams that do well year after year in the conference as well as in the NCAA Tournament. The
The softball team is left to rely upon three final non-conference games to bolster its regional tournament chances after weekend losses to Texas A&M, 3-2 and 13-0. The Jayhawks finished conference play with a 2-16 record, but are 31-22 overall. "It's a test."
"It's a tough conference," coach Megan Smith said. "Every team we play is ranked. It's extremely difficult. You don't get a break, but that's why you like to play in those big conferences."
The layhawks entered Big 12 play with a historic start to the season at 26-3. They won five of their six preseason tournaments, going
The final stretch begins tonight against Drake. The Bulldogs are 31-18 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last week, the Jayhawks took home two victories against Wichita State (11-3 in six innings and 6-3 in the second game), another Missouri Valley competitor.
undefeated in four. The preseason start is what is helping the team's regional chances now, but the Jayhawks must win their final three games.
But the team cannot lose its focus, especially after last weekend's 13-0 loss. Coach Smith has said repeatedly throughout the season that they are going to focus on themselves and what they can do. That is what is going to carry the team through the end of the season.
they compete. The layhawks have not lost their drive. They are motivated by the possibility of still making it to regionalals.

Lawrence's landlord
How a boy from rural Kansas transformed into the city's most influential developer
BY LISA CURRAN
lcurran@kansan.com
Photos of Lawrence buildings and apartment complexes line the hallway leading to Doug Compton's office. Historic downtown buildings from the 1800s.Renovations.Newconstruction Compton has altered or built each of them.
Framed newspaper articles hang in between the building photos. Many are negative: a fire that destroyed an apartment building under construction, a 2003 article from the Lawrence Journal-World that "wasn't the most Doug-Compton friendly article," as Compton described it.
"I think you're being unrealistic in life if you don't mix up the good with the bad," Compton says with a slight drawl. "I think the good is positive to read. To know that if you work hard, these are some of the benefits, but I also think the bad keeps you on your toes of what might happen."
Sitting in his office the size of a 30-person classroom, Compton leans back in his chair. Though he's small in stature, his voice is loud, almost abrasive. His gaze is sharp and demanding. Right now, he's all business, but you won't find him wearing a suit. The most business-like thing about his appearance is his short, spiky gray-blond hair. A blue, plaid button-down shirt and cowboy boots reflect his rural Kansas upbringing. He speaks in a straightforward manner, quick and to-the-point with no chance of being misunderstood. No need to add one more controversy to his unintentionally lengthy list.

LAWRENCE
The Miller House stands as a historic landmark
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE
Inightengale@kansan.com
Camouflaged in the suburban east Lawrence neighborhood stands the Miller House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the area's only remnants of the Underground Railroad.
The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
"In the summer, the trees get real full and there less people here. You
can stand out here and it feels like you're in the country" Dalie said.
One special characteristic is that it predates Quantrill's Raid — a sacking of Lawrence that burned many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quantrill himself, a Confederate guerrilla leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night.' That's a little weird." Dailev said.
POLYTICAL WESTERN STUDIO
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dailey said. "The work that we've just put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.
The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.

Athletics employees begin their prison time
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Two of the former Athletics employees convicted in a conspiracy to steal and re-sell at least $2 million in tickets have been sent to federal prisons following their sentencing in March.
Kassie Liebsch, former systems analyst for the department, is serving her 37-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Greenville, Ill.
Her projected release date, according the Bureau of Prisons' website, is Jan. 7, 2014.
Rodney Jones, former director of the Williams Fund, is spending his 46-month sentence in a minimum-security camp for men in El Reno, Okla. His expected release date is not listed.
Co-defendants in the case Charlotte Blubaugh, former associate athletics director in charge of tickets, and her husband Tom, a former consultant to the department, are still awaiting their detainment destinations. Charlotte Blubaugh was sentenced to 57 months and Tom to 46 months.

RENSSELAER, N.Y. — Authorities in New York say a 21-year-old man who jumped into the Hudson River to escape police got all wet for nothing.
The man was riding in a car Wednesday afternoon when it was pulled over by police in Rensselaer, across the Hudson River from Albany. Police said he bolted from the car's passenger side and ran toward the river, where he jumped in near
a bridge.
Authorities say the man,

New plan includes domestic partners
Douglas County employees now have domestic partner benefits under a new plan passed by the County Commission Wednesday.
Sarah Plinsky, assistant county administrator, analyzed the plan and estimated that five to 10 employees would use domestic partner insurance coverage, but specified that it was only a guess.
"Given the personal nature of the subject, it is inappropriate for staff to survey employees to get a better understanding of how many employees choose to utilize this coverage." Plinsky wrote.
Plinsky also wrote that legal challenges to domestic partner benefits were likely to fail as long as beneficiaries are not required to be of the same sex. In addition, her analysis found that the benefits would likely not be a violation of a 2006 Kansas constitutional amendment that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

On the road, liberty is found through safety
EDITORIAL
Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill on April 20 that will allow speed limit increases on separated multi-lane highways. Currently these highways are set at 70 mph. The change will take effect July 1, and the secretary of transportation, E. Dean Carlson, will decide where to post the new limits
Amid recent discussion of fatal car crashes and the need for cable barriers, Kansas drivers should pause and consider the need for increasing the speed limit.
According to an April 28 Kansan article, the Kansas Department of Transportation estimated that replacing the signs to display the new limit would cost between $16,500 and $24,750.
But the cost of signs is not the only cost to be considered.
Gas mileage actually decreases for speeds above 60 mph. According to the Department of Energy, each 5 mph someone drives over 60 mph costs him or her an additional 24 cents per gallon of gas.
Furthermore, higher driving speeds could result in more fatalities.
In the mid-1990s several states raised speed limits. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducted a study in 1999 and found that in states that raised speed limits, interstate fatalities went from 3,100 total in 1995 to 3,504 in 1997.
If raising the speed limit is not fiscally logical, environmentally friendly and could make roads more dangerous, then why do it?
Gov. Brownback has recognized the hesitations surrounding increased
speed limits, but he also notes a competing interest for liberty.
Indeed, Kansas falls behind several western states that have already raised the limit to 75, and in some cases 80. Many drivers already push the 70 mph limit, and with the new bill will be able to drive those speeds legally.
However, when assessing highways such as Kansas Highway 10, it's important to weigh the costs against the benefits.
Several students drive K-10 daily to commute to the University from the Kansas City area. One could argue that a high number of young and inexperienced drivers travel this road, so why take a risk that could make it more dangerous?
Ironically, the governor has also pledged support for a cable barrier
along K-10 in an effort to prevent more deadly crashes. It seems counter intuitive to also support a speed limit increase.
While some highways in Kansas might benefit from the increased speed limit, the risk is too great for highways like K-10. With evidence to support the costs of increasing the speed limit, both financially and in terms of safety, one has to consider whether there is a need to drive faster.
It seems the only other competing interest is liberty, and maybe Kansas drivers should be looking to find liberty in safety.

Letter to the Editor
Don't overlook a day that celebrates military spouses
Military Spouse Appreciation Day is today. This day was set aside by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 to recognize the sacrifices military spouses make every day to make this country a better, safer place for all of us.
Military spouses don't wear a uniform. They don't receive medals to acknowledge their sacrifices for this nation.Many of you have probably interacted with a military spouse and not even realized it.
These men and women serve silently, doing all the things normal Americans do. They also pick up and move across the country and start their lives over approximately every year to 18 months.
They spend countless hours as the volunteer backbone of our nation, spending year after year calmly and quietly carrying on, while in the back of their minds they are worrying that the last phone call they got from their
service member, which was garbled and cut off in mid-sentence, is the last time they'll hear his or her voice. They worry that the knock on the door will mean their loved one is not coming home. They worry over their children who carry that same burden of worry.
Military families don't ask for very much. But on this day our nation has set aside to honor these sacrifices, I implore you to look around and find some of the Military and National Guard spouses in your neighborhood and say thank you.
More importantly, ask if you can help them ease their load, even for a day. Show the world that "United We Stand."

Time to clear up some misunderstandings on atheism
My name is Ali, and I'm an atheist. This makes me part of one of the least-liked and least-trusted minorities in the United States, even though we're as educated, patriotic, kind and trustworthy as any other group. We just believe in one less god than a lot of people. I'd like to talk about some false assumptions some people hold regarding atheists.
First, atheism is necessarily a pessimistic, nihilistic, selfish position. One can certainly be despairing and aimless and want only the worst for your fellow humans, but out of all the theists I know that doesn't describe one.
Personally, non-belief in a god or an afterlife is invigorating. If there's nothing after this, better make this life great, right? If nothing super-natural is going to step in and help people and save the world, I guess that's my job.
PETER SCHNEIDER
This is not to say that those with religious faith all sit on their hands
BY ALI FREE
afree@kansan.com
Compassion is not divinely bestowed. I think it's pretty human, and someone better versed in issues of morality could write a great column about our evolution to be compassionate among our in-group and how altruism is beneficial, and so on
and wait for divine intervention to fix their problems, or that they don't do great humanitarian work. I know they do. They should keep on keeping on.
All I can say is that some of the most selfless individuals I know, those who dedicate their lives to improving humanity, are atheists.
Second, atheism requires faith. This is possibly the most perplexing charge leveled against atheism, as most atheists are skeptics and reject any proposition not based in evidence. Faith and evidence are completely different ways of understanding knowledge, and religious people accept the former as valid while nontheists do not.
Atheism can be either a simple lack of belief in a god (weak atheism), or a conclusion based on observations (strong atheism). In either case, it does not have to be dogmatic and it can be open to the possibility of the supernatural. For me, "I'm an atheist" translates into "Based on the current evidence, I do not believe in a supernatural being that plays or has played any discernible role in the universe." It doesn't take faith to not believe something — does a Christian require faith to not believe in Vishnu? It also doesn't take faith to draw a conclusion, as long as you
admit that it's falsifiable.
Third, all atheists are hell-bent (ha!) on maliciously destroying your way of life and ripping to shreds everything you hold dear. Some are, maybe. I don't identify myself among them. I'll talk about religion with you and if you're open to it, I'll talk about the many serious problems I find with certain religions. Otherwise, I will keep my more vitriolic opinions to myself. I'm not trying to "convert" you, but we can still challenge each other in the name of personal growth.
Did this column strike a nerve? Want to see, meet and befriend examples of pleasant atheists? Pick our brains? Listen to engaging speakers? ReasonFest is this weekend in the Union!

COMPTON (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"When you're a builder, a developer, that means change," Compton said. "People don't like change."
Ask someone prominent in Lawrence politics, construction or business what he or she thinks about Compton; they are sure to know him from his brief stint in
- the city commission and have an opinion about him and his business practices. But ask a college student, and you'll likely receive a blank stare, even though hundreds of them live in his buildings. He donates thousands of dollars to Kansas Athletics each year, and his
close friends include well-known names such as Larry Brown, former Kansas basketball coach, and Quin Snyder, former basketball coach for the University of Missouri.
Compton has managed to remain unknown to average Lawrence residents who probably would recognize the name of his business: First Management. Since Compton incorporated the company in 1991, it has grown to employ more than 150 people and manage more than 2,500 apartments, most of which are in Lawrence.
In addition to owning apartments, Compton has transitioned from being a bar owner to being a landlord for numerous businesses and bars, including the Granada, Encore, the Buckle and 3 Spoons. He probably owns more property in Lawrence than any other person or entity other than the city and the University of Kansas. First Management is currently constructing one of Compton's biggest projects yet — a seven-story building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets downtown that will solidify him as "Lawrence's landlord."
MOVING TO THE CITY
Long before he was owner and president of a multimillion-dollar development and management business, Compton raised pigs on the family farm while growing up
in Wellington, a town of about 8,600 in south-central Kansas. Each day after school, while others went to athletics practices, he headed to work. On weekends and during the summers he worked for different farmers. Working was a main part of his life. When Compton decided to buy his first truck his sophomore year of high school, he sold his pigs and paid cash, not asking for help from his parents.
"I wouldn't change that part of my life for nothing," he said.
Aftergraduating from Wellington High School in 1978, Compton decided to follow his brother and several classmates to the University of Kansas, where he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity and fell in love with the Lawrence lifestyle.
"When you come to KU from a small town, that's like going to New York for a lot of kids," he said.
Compton drove into town in a 1968 blue Chevrolet pickup truck, only to discover that many people in town drove newer cars and generally lived differently than they did in rural Kansas.
"I wanted that," he said. "To own your own home and not have to worry about the basics. Not that I didn't have that growing up, but we didn't have it to that extent."
Compton decided to take his first step toward getting that lifestyle when, as a 20-year-old junior in college, a bank took a chance and gave him a $20,000 loan to buy his first business, a bar named Bottoms Up at 715 Massachusetts St.
The small-town farm kid who would help shape the face and skyline of Lawrence had been given his start — and it was a success. With few expenses as a college student, he was able to take profits from Bottoms Up and invest them into his next idea — a pattern that kept his businesses growing.
Compton later received loans from Les Dreiling, then a loan officer at Lawrence National Bank and now the president of Lawrence Bank. Dreiling described Compton as a "blue-jean, roll-your-sleeve-up, get-to-work-and-get-after-it" kind of guy.
"My first impression of him was that he was sharp, energetic," Dreiling said. "He knew what he was doing. He had a lot of energy and drive. He was personable and willing to put in the time and
Compton graduated from the University in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in general studies. While many of his fellow graduates scrounged for jobs, he already had a profitable bar business. By the late 1980s, Compton owned several bars and a string of rental houses in town.
effort to make things work."
"I loved the business, and I loved being around customers and people," he said.
The bar business doesn't exactly have a regular workday, though. As Compton began approaching his 30s and started dating his future wife, he realized it was going to be tough to maintain a relationship, have a family and baby-sit his businesses every night. He decided to transition away from owning the places where students went to drink and relax and instead focus on providing them with places to live.
FIRST MANAGEMENT
"I started finding out that the real estate business was a little bit more of a stable business," he said. "It was more of a daytime operation."
He married his wife, Lara, in 1989. She was from Chicago and had graduated from the University in 1988 with a degree in art history. In the early 1990s, Compton focused on renovating older houses in the Oread Neighborhood or tearing them down to build duplexes or triplexes such as Carson Place, 1121 Louisiana St., which First Management still owns.
Jeff Hatfield, a Lawrence developer and co-owner of Larry Hatfield Appraisals, has worked with Compton on a few projects, but has been his competitor on others.

"Those are the kind of things that I think Doug is not always acknowledged for, but that he really was instrumental in helping shape a higher standard of development for Lawrence", Bittenbender said. "It has helped projects be better and help our community be better over time."
Bittenbender said one of his unpopular positions was favoring a new storm water ordinance. The ordinance required all new construction and developments to detain rainwater onsite, preventing flooding in parts of Lawrence. However, it also added costs to developers' and property owners' projects.
Compton ran for re-election two years later, but lost. A Lawrence Journal-World article at the time implied he lost because of his opposition to changing the city's human relations ordinance to protect the gay and lesbian community from discrimination.
" T he human relations ordinance was a bigger issue than I thought it was," Compton told the newspaper after the election, "but I'll go to bed knowing I did the right thing."
Compton said his decision 16 years ago was very complicated and he would not vote the same way today. He said he would never discriminate no matter the race, religion, color or sexual preference of a person.

sions for construction, lawn and landscape work, excavating, painting, plumbing, roofing, maintenance and housekeeping. Though it may seem as if the company is all-inclusive. Competition said First Management provided only
about 20 percent of the services on any given project.
Compton's business associates say he is very hands-on with projects and won't ask anyone to do something he wouldn't do himself.
"All of this." Compton said, motioning to his computer, cellphone and desk, "it's a trap. I can't afford to be stuck here eight hours a day. I've got to see what's going on out there."
Perhaps that is why Compton can be seen driving in his pickup to check up on his properties during weekends, pulling a stray weed in the summer and plowing snow in the winter. When he goes out to eat, he often chooses a restaurant in one of his buildings so he can see if the tenants have been having any problems. His lunch or dinner choices could include Cielto Lindo, Pita Pit, Pyramid Pizza, Ingredient, Encore Café, Esquina, Runza Restaurant, Spangles and Biemer's BBQ.
A CONTROVERSIAL COMPANY
The size and effect of First Management's influence also makes it a target for criticism.
"A lot of people see him as a ball hog, think that he always has to own everything and control everything," Hatfield said. "But with all of the developments I've done, both developments from relationships and developments from a business standpoint, he's always been more than fair."
Bittenbender thinks there is a

disconnect between big developers like Compton and the rest of Lawrence.
"They see he built this big house, and he's got money and all that," she said. "What they don't understand is the risk that he is taking every day and that he could lose it all, tomorrow."
Many of Compton's developments have created jobs and revenue for the city, though they weren't always popular with residents of Lawrence. One controversial development was the Wal-Mart at Sixth and Wakara streets a few years ago. Compton said some were against it because they thought it would create excessive traffic or because they simply didn't like Wal-Mart.
"I think people vote at the cash register," Compton said. "If you don't like somebody, then you don't go there."
Compton stands confidently next to the job trailer for his newest project, a seven-story, mixed-use building on the corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets downtown. Across the street, men in hard hats work to make up lost time on the project. Because of the snow at the beginning of the year, the project is about three weeks behind.
901 NEW HAMPSHIRE
Looking over the construction-site, as he does regularly, a concerned but determined look comes over Compton's face.
"What time's that rain coming?" he asks his project manager. "Well, probably have to wait to pour the concrete until tomorrow."
Once again, bad weather has interfered.
"You can't do anything about Mother Nature," Compton said. "You just have to work around it the best you can."
Compton talks about what he envisions for the completed building. First floor: a health club with 17-foot ceilings, a rock climbing wall and locker rooms in the basement. An outdoor patio will provide a place for outdoor fitness, such as flipping tires. A coffee and wine bar on the north side of the first floor will have an outdoor patio of its own.
First Management will move its headquarters from its current location at 601 N. Iowa St. to the second floor, downsizing from 16,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet.

--family. Doug Jr. said people would base their judgment of his family on what his dad does in business.
It will be a smaller, more efficient office space, he says.
Fifty-five high-end lofts will spread over the next five floors, including 10 studio apartments, 35 one-bedroom apartments and 10 two-bedroom apartments. Compton aims to keep the lofts similar to traditional lofts, with stained concrete floors and nine-foot exposed ceilings in living rooms and bedrooms. The lease will come with a parking spot in the existing garage next door and access to the health club downstairs.
Compton expects the lofts to be filled with young professionals and students. First Management has already had calls from prospective tenants, and it hasn't even started advertising yet. If everyone who has inquired about the apartment so far signs a lease, one-third of the lofts will be filled. When completed, the building will be as tall, if not taller than, the U.S. Bank building next door.
Moving his headquarters to downtown is somewhat symbolic and counters what critics have said about Compton's previous projects that invested more time and money away from downtown, such as the rural land development of Bauer Brook Farms or the development of Saddlebrook Townhomes near Sixth Street and Folks Road.
Though some Lawrence residents are upset with the height of the new building and the loss of the vacant lot where Thursday night movies and concerts were held in the summer, many like the project because they think it will invigorate and bring more people to downtown.
"It was nice to go to a meeting to request a permit and not have anyone protesting it," Compton said.
Bittenbender said it wasn't a controversial project because most Lawrence residents wanted to keep downtown strong, and this project would definitely help.
"When you have a downtown that doesn't have employees there and it doesn't have people moving there 24/7, then there's not going to be a demand for retail" she said
Compton is also hoping to renovate the Masonic Temple, 1001 Massachusetts St., downtown into a wedding venue after being approached by the owner of Maceli's, a local caterer, through a local real estate broker. Compton said he had met with the owner of Maceli's several times, but the project depended on whether he could secure property tax concessions from the city. The tax concession would allow First Management to increase the value of the building without having to pay higher property taxes for a designated time period.
BEYOND BUSINESS
With the responsibility of managing a large and growing company,
Compton admits he suffers from pressure and stress. Over the last few years, he has found an outlet in jogging a couple of miles every morning. The more stressed he is, the longer he runs. He said he had also tried to be better about taking vacations and getting away once a month.
Though he missed out on spring break with his wife and three kids this year, he did take a break from working to attend the games Kansas played in this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament. Following and supporting Kansas men's basketball is one of his only hobbies. He bought season tickets in 1984 and has had them since. Until a few years ago, it was rare for him to miss a home or away game.
Another of his hobbies is working on the farm and taking care of his family's six dogs. The Comptons have three Chihuahuaus, a French bulldog, a golden retriever, a great dane, horses and a cow on their ranch on the north side of Lawrence near Free State High School.
"He's a big animal lover," said Doug Jr., Compton's oldest son and a KU sophomore. "I never remember growing up without a dog in the house."
Doug Jr. graduated from Free State High School in 2009 and now helps out with video and practice for the men's basketball team. This year was his first year living in Highpoint, 2001 W. Sixth St., one of his dad's apartment complexes. But he doesn't get a free pass on rent just because his father owns the building.
"I've got to work for it," he said. "He doesn't give me anything for free."
Encouraged by his father, Doug Jr. started mowing lawns, watering flowers and pulling weeds for First Management in the eighth grade. When he was old enough to drive he cleaned pools during the sum-
"I liked it," Doug Jr. said. "It taught me a work ethic from a young age."
Doug Jr. said that while he was growing up, his father often put in
12-hour days at work. When he did get home, he would often play basketball with his sons for hours.
"He loves hanging out with his family," Doug Jr. said. "Usually his days are just so stressful, it's nice to come home and take your mind off everything that's going on."
"When I was younger, of course I would let it get to me, because no little kid really knows how to deal with that," Doug Jr. said. "You have to learn to adapt to it."
Doug Jr. said his family was very open and everyone could speak his or her mind.
Some critics of First Management speak openly about their dislike for Compton and his business practices, which can be tough on his
"We ate family dinners almost every night," he said. "That was a big thing. Everyone come together for dinner at the end of the daw."
Despite being close with his kids,
Compton said none had shown interest in being a landlord.
"I think it's because they see their dad come home every night worn out," he said.
Doug Jr. is majoring in sports management; Chase, 17, is interested in the arts and will graduate from Free State High School soon; and Lily, 11, will complete the sixth grade in May.
Bittenbender recalls a time she visited Compton at home because she needed real estate papers signed and he had broken his foot and was on bed rest. Lily came in from preschool, excited, and interrupted their meeting.
Bittenbender said Bittenbender said a lot of dads, if they were in a meeting, would have said, "Later," or "Not now."
"She goes, 'Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!'
Look at my art!" Bittenerbader
Instead, Bittenbender said Compton stopped, inspected Lily's work and chatted with her for a few minutes before she decided to go upstairs. Then he and Bittenbender continued their meeting.
"His kids and his family are a very, very high priority for him," she said. "A lot of men would have handled that very differently."
"I've got to work for it. He doesn't give me anything for free."

Compton's son
A GOOD FRIEND
Compton's friends describe him as driven in business, but more relaxed in a personal setting. When Dreiling, Compton's former loan officer, and his wife bought their first house, they had an ordinary, cheap-looking mailbox. But one day he came home
and found a custom-made mailbox that looked like a miniature of their new house.
"He didn't say he did it or anything," Dreiling said. "Somebody told me and said that he put it up. It was one of those deals that he was always there to help things out. He's just a good quality guy."
keys if his car broke down and has always talked about the value of maintaining relationships.
Hatfield, one of Compton's business partners, said Compton would be the first to throw him a set of
"Over and over, he always tells me, 'Jeff, you got to maintain relationships,' Hatfield said. "That's the key to business. That's the key to life. You maintain relationships."
Drelling said Compton followed his own advice in this area.
"What I admire about Doug is, there's a lot of guys that have new partners on every new deal," Dreiling said. "He's had the same partners for a lot of years. It tells you something about a guy, that if you go back to the same person, and if you put money into him and it's getting return, it's been a good relationship."
Hatfield thinks Compton's success in business has a lot to do with his character.
"Obviously you don't find people that build companies in really this small of an amount of time and be able to balance it all," Hatfield said. "I think it's just part of who he is. He has the right morals and values and I think it's something that's just innate in him. He's a self-made guy. He went out and did it and made it happen."
WORK HARD.
PLAY HARD.
Doug Jr. said his father's motto was "Work hard. Play hard: If you want to have fun, you have to earn it."
Based on that motto, Compton has worked hard, earning him a suite at Kansas football games, courtside seats at Kansas basketball games and a large, southern-style house. The Wellington native who raised pigs to buy his first truck can now afford the 1959 blue Corvette in which he drove friends Bill and Cindy Self in the parade celebrating the Jayhawks' victory in the 2008 NCAA men's national championship game. He drove Larry Brown in the same convertible in the parade celebrating the 1988 title.
"I think we've created a good company with First Management, and I think we employ a lot of good people," Compton said. "I think we've done good things."
Not everyone in Lawrence agrees, but "Lawrence's landlord" stands ready to defend what his company does and build what he thinks people want. Doug Compton has been steadily changing the face of Lawrence for 30 years — and he's not about to stop.

LACROSSE
Fifth-seeded Kansas to face Illinois
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
After finishing undefeated in conference and 7-5 overall, the Kansas lacrosse team has earned the fifth seed in the 2011 Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference Plavoffs.
All season long the Jayhawks followed the lead of attack Francis Enright, a senior from Winnetka, Ill., who finished the regular season with the best statistics in his career at Kansas: 38 goals, and 23 assists for 61 points.
The postseason tournament,
which begins tonight in St. Charles.
Mo., will pit Kansas against 10-5
Illinois in the quarterfinal.
The Illini are led by attacks Dan Dickerson, a junior, and Sam Weinstein, a freshman, and senior midfielder Bob Ridlen. The three have combined for 147 points this season.
While the Illini do have these three weapons, Kansas first year coach Dennis Shults has been preparing for them.
"We're going to have all of our defenders lock off. They're going to get some goals on us, but we have a solid defense." Shults said.
Although shutting down Dickerson, Weinstein and Ridlen will be key to a Jayhawk victory, it is not the only thing Kansas will have to do to win.
Historically, Kansas has not played well against Illinois.
"Illinois is pretty tough," Shults said. "We're going to have to play a couple seriously great halves to come up winners on this."
In their last four meetings, the layahwakes have gone 0-4 with the Illini and have been out scored 50-23 in those meetings.
The main downfall of the Jayhawks this season has been the excessive amount of penalties taken throughout the games, and the Jayhawks have had trouble killing them off. This is a problem that Shults thinks will be a non-issue now that a championship is on the line.
"They have mostly been
defensive calls," Shults said. "And we changed the way that we are defending with the long sticks to make sure they are not flying out of the air for a slash, but basically being poke checks."
Shults said he believed that if the Jayhawks were able to advance past the first round, they could gain the confidence to make a run for the championship.
A quarterfinal win would set the Jayhawks up against the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers, who earned a bye in the first round.
Rounding out the other half of the bracket, third-seeded Missouri will face sixth-seeded Iowa in the quarterfinal. The winner will go on to face the second-seeded Lindenwood University for a shot at the championship.
The quarterfinal games will be played tonight, with the semi-finals and championship played during the next days.
Tampa Bay strikes down Washington in overtime
Edited by Sarah Gregory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — There was no comeback for Alex Oveckkin and the Washington Capitals against the Tampa Bay Lightning — only more postseason disappointment.
Falling short of expectations yet again, the top-seeded Capitals were swept from the NHL playoffs on Wednesday night, falling 5-3 to the fifth-seeded Lightning in game four of the Eastern Conference semifinals matchup.
"It was a tough year — we went through peaks and valleys — but I just thought if we persevered that something good was going to happen," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said.
"I thought as late as when they made it 5-2, this is going to be tough. But even before that I thought, 'OK, we're going to find a way. The guys want it too much, and they've come back all year in dire straits.' I still thought we
were going to tie it up and win it in overtime."
Sean Bergenheim scored two goals and Dwayne Rosolon stopped 33 shots for Tampa Bay, which extended its winning streak to seven games and advanced to the conference finals for the first time since its 2004 Stanley Cup championship season.
"We're definitely happy, but we're not popping champagne or anything," Lightning forward Ryan Malone said. "We know what our goal is and we have to keep going and stay even keel. We haven't done anything yet."
"There're not very much you can say. They're down in the dumps.
Rookie Michal Neuvirth stopped 32 shots for Washington, but Bergenheim scored twice in eight minutes during the second period to build a 3-1 lead that sent the sellout crowd of 20,835 into celebratory mode long before it was over.
I'm down in the dumps," Boudreau said. "I just told them I was proud of them for the way they worked all year, and that they never quit right to the end. That's all a coach could ask is if you don't quit and you just keep plugging through. I thought we had a good chance to win, and we just didn't get it done."
The Lightning's big three of Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and Steven Stamkos have elevated their games in the playoffs, but so has Bergenheim, who has a team-leading seven goals through two rounds. St. Louis' sixth goal of the playoffs, with 3:08 remaining, finished Tampa Bay's scoring.
Malone and Marc-Andre Bergeron added goals for the Lightning, who have not lost since dropping into a 3-1 hole against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.

When the glamorous life goes wrong
MORNING BREW
Mike Tyson, Joe Louis and Evander Holyfield have two things in common. One, they are successful boxers and two, they have all filed for bankruptcy.
Sports Illustrated's Pablo Torre reported in March 2009 that 78 percent of NFL players and 60 percent of former NBA players are either broke or financially stressed after retirement.
I would imagine the statistics are similar for retirement or even during an active career.
I will answer any questions you may have about the image.
He attributes his need for plain necessities instead of luxurious items to his midwestern roots and his troubled upbringing.
I had the pleasure to speak with newly crowned WBC Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz last week about this pressing issue. Luckily for him, he has surrounded himself with financial advisors, accountants and Pepperdine University professor Lee Katz to keep track of his earnings.
Ortiz said that while it might be nice to own a Bentley or Maserati, which could set him back a good $300,000 to $400,000, it made more sense to own a practical car. He doesn't want to live a flashy lifestyle just because he can. He has seen what has happened to his peers. A lot of boxers go from having nothing to having the world at their fingertips. They don't know what to do with all the money, so they spend it.
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
twitter.com/kansanball
THE
MORNING
BREW
The 24-year-old from Garden City didn't live the easiest life. His childhood is as scripted as many boxers' difficult with little to no parental supervision. His mother walked out on him, his brother Temo and sister Carmen when Ortiz was just 7 years old. After his mother left, his father wasn't around for months at a time. Ortiz called him and his siblings stray dogs, just roaming, trying to survive. He used boxing as a way to stay out of trouble, even though his father forced him into the sport.
Ortiz was picked on at young age because he was called "chubby." Ortiz now stands at a modest 5-foot-9, but his body is 150 pounds of pure muscle.
He used boxing as motivation because his parents said he would never to amount to anything. They said he wouldn't
graduate high school or go to college. They even said he would be a parent as a teenager. Yet, he graduated from high school with a 3.7 GPA and went to college for a year and a half.
This all made Ortiz grow up faster than he wanted to, but he is more mature because of it. He doesn't want to end his career like Tyson: broke. He wants to be able to have stability when he retires. But once his career is over, he wants to return to college, preferably the University of Kansas and walk down the hill. I admire what boxers go through, especially the difficulties they have to overcome, but what really makes Ortiz stick out is his desire to be financially savvy.

Royals score fourth win against Baltimore Orioles
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Melky Cabrera homered, doubled and singled while driving in four runs, Bruce Chen allowed one run in seven innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-1 on Thursday.
Cabrera, who also scored three times, hit a solo homer in the eighth off Clay Rapada.
Chen (4-1) gave up his only run in the first and then pitched shutout ball for the next six innings. The left-hander, who was KC's biggest winner last year, allowed five hits and one run, walking two and striking out five. He has not lost a start in Kauffman Stadium
since Aug. 12, 2010, against the Yankees. Since then, he's 6-0 in nine starts at home.
A·AΓΔ·AΓΔ·AΓΔ·AΓΔ·AΓΔ·AΓΔ·AΓ
Chris Tillman (1-3) took the loss, typically getting almost no offensive support. In his last six starts, the Orioles have scored only five runs while he was in the game.
The Royals kept their streak intact of not losing a home series. They're 4-0 so far this year with two splits. The Orioles are 2-8 when the opponent starts a left-handed pitcher.

UNDER PRESSURE
Pitching staff in the spotlight
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The spotlight will be on the Kansas (22-24, 9-12) pitching this weekend when they travel to Norman to take on an Oklahoma Sooners (32-12, 10-9) team that leads the Big 12 in nearly every major hitting category.
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, their pitchers are not coming into this weekend's series overworked
— something the Jayhawks weren't sure of after a two-game mid-week set against Wichita State.
Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor started this past Wednesday against Wichita State, only four
days after starting on the previous Saturday. Coach Ritch Price expressed concern that the Jayhawks would have to use possibly six or seven pitchers in Wednesday's outing.
After a strong
After a strong three-inning performance from Taylor followed by a four-inning outing from senior pitcher Wally Marciel, Jordan Jakubov then closed out the game in the following two innings.
"We had Thomas Taylor on a three-inning maximum and then Wally really picked us up. For him to walk out there and go four innings really gave us a chance to rest our bullpen and give Colton Murray and Frank Duncan a night off," Price said. "It really sets us up for the weekend series at Oklahoma."
Today's 6:30 p.m. pitching matchup features Kansas ace senior T.J. Walz and Oklahoma's star senior Michael Rocha.
"I'm really proud of the progress that Ka'iana has made. He's playing like a freshman All-American right now."
Rocha brings an ERA of 1.51 with 52 strikeouts and only 12 walks into Friday's action. On March 28, he shut out the conference leader, Texas, and struck out 13 batters in the performance.

59 and one-third innings pitched. Kansas has not yet named a starter in Sunday's 1 p.m. game, but it will most likely be either Taylor or freshman Alex Cox, both have started games throughout the year.
Saturday at 2 p.m., Tanner Poppe will start for the Jayhawks. Poppe has the best ERA on the Jayhawks' staff at 3.19. Poppe has had control problems throughout the season, walking 30 batters in
Because the Jayhawks can be sure to bet on Oklahoma amassing runs on the scoreboard — the Sooners have scored 56 more runs than any Big 12 team — the Kansas batters must do their part to take some pressure off the pitching staff.
Senior outfielder Casey Lytle must lead the Jayhawks' efforts at the plate — he comes into the weekend as the only Jayhawk batting above the .300 mark, at .311.
RITCH PRICE Kansas coach
With Lytle leadingtheway, the Jayhawks' younger batters must follow suit and do their part as well. One of those young batters, freshman second basemen Ka'iana Eldredge, must keep his hot bat smoking against the Sooners this weekend.
"I'm really proud of the progress that Ka'iana has made. He's playing like a freshman All-American right now," Price said. "We're talking about a guy who was hitting like .145 before we started Big 12 play and I think he's like .290-something in the conference. He's improved each and every week."
The Kansas pitching staff has its toughest test of the season this weekend, and the Jayhawks' lineup must perform well to relieve some of the pressure off the pitchers. The Jayhawks are going to have to play the best they have all season to take down their top-dog opponent, Oklahoma.

day and finals will follow in a fury of procrastination followed by all-nighters.
And what is as nostalgic as music? Music defines generations, and in this case, has defined the last four years of my life. Many of us listen to it while we study, hear it at barn around town or on differ
ent floors of the dorms, and we feel alive whenever it is pumped out of the speakers in Allen Fieldhouse or Memorial Stadium.
What are sports without music? There have been marching bands as long as team sports have been around. Bands are the bravery behind every team. Why else were drum lines present on the battle fields of the Civil War and many others? To inspire soldiers, to inspire the home team.
I have to begin with the traditional song. After all, that is where Kansas gets its acclaim. Not many sights or sounds can match a Saturday afternoon, or an evening in The Phog, when Kansas students and alumni embrace each other — friends and strangers — and rock to the same tune. Back and forth, waving like a field of wheat and
So, in a farewell to Kansas, here is a look back at what songs have defined Kansas sports over the last four years.
THE ALMA MATER AND ROCK CHALK CHANT
singing what so many have sung before.
Then, follow it up with the best college chant in the country. Chills. Enough said.
Composed by Clint Mansell as the title track of the soundtrack for the movie, Requiem for a Dream, the song has come to define Kansas basketball. As the background song for the opening video of each home game, the building drama of the song cannot be contained. Each time I hear it and watch the video, I leap with joy and tear up at the remembrance of Mario's Miracle and all of the faces Kansas fans and students have been so lucky to watch perform year after year.
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
It works as a great recruiting tool as well.
RED AND BLUE KU
Of the 257 remixes to the Wiz Khalifa song, Red and Blue KU might be one of the most forced. But it works. Simply because the beat is too infectious, and who
B Double E did it with this one. A local artist rapping about the local team and town.
ALL I DO IS WIN
What song coming out of today's music scene better translates into a matching band hit?
DJ Khaled and T-Pain must have obviously been thinking about what would sound the best in Allen Fieldhouse more than what would sound good in a club.
This even replaces the classic routine of waving the wheat. Imagine, everyone's hands go up until the beat comes back in and everybody starts singing: "And they stay there, and they stay there"
doesn't like hearing the line "KU ... so great, I'm like Chalmers at the buzzer, '08."
This song may not last much longer than two years in Allen Fieldhouse, but in my time here, it's been a pleasure trying to sound like T-Pain.

AN UNSETTLED LIFE
How Sarah Bregman's tumultuous life gave her a chance at a better future
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
S
On her first day of school the year before, she arrived at Smoky Valley High School in a sleepless
arah Bregman's first day of college at the University of Kansas was surprisingly normal, at least by her standards.
daze. She had spent the previous night listening to her mom's incoherent screams.
SILVERBERG
Two years earlier she had been committed to Prairie View, a mental health center near Lindsborg, her most recent home. Her aunt and uncle, then guardians, thought she was suicidal. Though she denies their claim, Sarah had certainly lived a difficult life — a life marred by mental illness, drug abuse, neglect and sexual violence.
But that was the past, something Sarah tried not to think about as she walked down Jayhawk Boulevard in her strapless, tie-dyed sundress.
"I really wanted to be this new person," she said. She even cut her hair and dyed it hot pink as if to emphasize her point.
Ironically, Sarah's story of personal hardships — and her ability to overcome them — led directly to her winning the Hixson Opportunity Award, a $20,000 scholarship that finances most of her four years at the University of Kansas. The Hixson is unique among KU scholarships, most of which are awarded based on a combination of academic achievement, extracurricular involvement and need.
Though a well-rounded application is important, it alone doesn't qualify students for the Hixson. Like Sarah, applicants need to have overcome significant challenges in their personal life to be eligible. Having heard about the award, Sarah's high school guidance counselor considered her the perfect candidate. Sarah's essay outlining her old life won her what she now thinks of as her new life.
Gone were the parents who neglected her, the babysitter and foster brother who raped her and the aunt and uncle with whom Sarah regularly fought over strict rules during her teenage years. Gone were the judges, social workers and child psychologists who insisted they were only doing "what was best for the children" when they took them from their parents. Gone was the money Sarah won from a lawsuit filed on her behalf against social services in Colorado. Gone were the 12-hour shifts she worked at a nursing home to help support her bi-polar mother who attempted suicide more times than Sarah could remember. Gone were the custody battles that left her mother bankrupt and divided her family. And gone were the drugs she took to escape: marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, her aunt's Lortab and the prescriptions she had taken intermittently since she was nine.
They were all gone, or at least far away from Sarah's new life as a student in Lawrence. And she didn't want to think about them. She wanted to move on.
"I refuse to allow my past to cast a shadow over my future," she wrote in her Hixson scholarship essay. She had come too far to let that happen.

Tanning beds cause cancer scare

Cindy Patrick would tan for about one to two months per year while at the University of Kansas, even though she said she knew that she was endangered her health.
Patrick, a KU graduate, said she had fair skin and felt pressure from friends to be tan.
"I knew tanning could cause cancer, but I didn't really care," Patrick said. "For me, having a tan at that particular moment far outweighed the risk of cancer."
Then one day about five years ago, Patrick found a suspicious mole. It turned out to be melanoma. The mole was successfully removed and since then, Patrick has had 34 moles removed. She said that she was now a strong advocate against tanning beds and wears sunscreen, large hats and
A recent study from The American Academy of Pediatrics stated that melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, had increased 3 percent per year since 1992 in women ages 15 to 39, and it was the second most common cancer found in women in their 20s.
Patricia M. Denning, chief of staff at the University of Kansas Student Health Services, said that she believed the use of tanning beds had contributed to this rise in skin cancer.
"They may say that tanning beds are now filtering out bad rays," Denning said. "But I'm doubtful of that."
Many customers who frequent tanning salons believe that tanning has health benefits because of the increased vitamin D intake from UV-exposure. However, Denning said this was just a marketing tool.

"It has been a true change of lifestyle," Patrick said.

moles did not end up being cancerous, but Brown said that her doctor said that they could have easily developed into cancer in the future.
Justine Brown, a junior from Kearney, Neb., did not worry about the risks of tanning beds until she had a wake-up call two years ago. Brown, who has a naturally pale complexion, discovered two suspicious-looking moles. She said that her doctor examined the moles and determined that they should be removed. However, the
Now, Brown said that she tried to make protecting her skin from the sun a daily priority. She said that she used a daily facial moisturizer with SPF 15, and knew that she needed to use sunscreen when she was outside for extended periods of time in order to prevent getting sunburned.

'Slutwalk' protests result from police officer's remark

BOSTON — Chanting "We love sluts!" and holding signs like " Jesus loves sluts," approximately 2,000 protesters marched Saturday around the Boston Common as the city off-
The protest movement, sparked by a Toronto police officer's remark that women could avoid being raped by not dressing like "sluts," came to
Boston after advocates saw similar events — largely organized through Facebook and Twitter — pop up in Canada, England and other parts of the U.S.
But by the time the march began Saturday, about 2,000 people
— some dressed in lingerie with the words "slut" written across their stomachs — were in attendance.
"We wanted to do something to show our support," said Siobhan
Connors, 20, a Boston organizer. "We originally planned for a small event and expected about 30 people."

In January, a Toronto police officer told a group of university students that women should avoid dressing
However, advocates in Toronto held a "SlutWalk" to protest the officer's remarks and to highlight what they saw as problems in blaming sexual assault victims. Since then, SlutWalks, organized mainly
through social media, have been held in Dallas, Asheville, N.C., and Ottawa, Ontario. Organizers say the events also were held to bring attention to "slut-shaming" or shaming women for being sexual, and the treatment of sexual assault victims.

This scene will be common in South America with Paraguay celebrating its 200th year of independence May 14. However, for the 18 international students and KU faculty that gathered at the Oread Hotel Sunday evening, the Independence Day came early.
The group hung Paraguayan flags, listened to speeches and watched videos commemorating Paraguay gaining independence from Spain in 1811. The event, sponsored by the Paraguayan Student Association, capped off the group's first year of existence.
"When Paraguayans come to KU we want to have a base for
them," said Guillermo Martinez, a senior from Asunción, Paraguay. "That's why we decided we need to be united."
While there are hundreds of international students from countries such as China, South Korea and India at the University of Kansas, Martinez said there are only about 20 Paraguayans on campus. The group provides them with a familiar environment where they will feel welcome.
Martinez said this year the Paraguayan Student Association had put on bake sales, cookouts, as well as participated in community service event's such as the University's Big Event.
"We want to give back to the community."

Answer to previous puzzle
Marriage movies hit theaters Hollywood filmmakers infected with wedding fever
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Multiple choice final on astronomy, eh?
What all material is it going to cover?
"All of the above."
If Britain's royal wedding put you in the mood for love, or at least nuptials, get thee to a cinema: There's an onslaught of marriage movies coming to theaters in the next few months.
ENTERTAINMENT
The timing is more coincidence; most of these films were in production before Prince William popped the question to Catherine. But if the royal couple is aiming for a drama-free happily-ever-after, filmmakers love the wedding genre exactly because it's rife with drama — and romance, scandal and conflict.
"A wedding is perfect for a movie because it's an event that kind of has a beginning — an engagement that sets you on a course storywise," says Paul Feig, director of the upcoming comedy "Bridesmaids." "It's a perfect storytelling device."
Elizabeth Hunter, who cowrote the screenplay for "Jumping the Broom," which opens Friday and revolves around two very different African-American families meeting for their first time at their children's wedding on Martha's Vineyard, couldn't agree more.
Nick Sambaluk
Hunter also believes these movies make audiences forget their own problems. "Usually, wedding movies have a very uplifting" ending, she says. "In these troubled times, people want to see rebirth, they want to see new beginnings. People want to be optimistic."
Besides "Jumping the Broom," two other wedding movies are being released this week: "Something Borrowed," based on the novel by Emily Giffin, stars Ginnifer Goodwin as an unhappy, single New York attorney whose brasher childhood friend (Kate Hudson) is engaged to the man (Colin Egglesfield) she has had a crush on since law school; "When Harry Tries to Marry" is an indie comedy about an Indian college student in Manhattan who decides to have an arranged marriage.
"You know that a wedding is always a very heightened situation because theoretically vows last forever and that makes people nervous," she said. "Understandably so, which is why I never married."
Wedding fever attacked the cast and crew of "Something Borrowed" — John Krasinski is a newlywed; Hudson and Goodwin are engaged; director Luke Greenfield
is getting hitched about 10 days after the film is released to Sarah Baldwin, who has a small part in the movie.
"Talk about timing," said Greenfield. But the film didn't inspire him to get married. "Absolutely not," he said, laughing. "We are trying to keep it small. It's a destination wedding in Cabo and then honeymooning in Italy. Three of my closest friends I have known since I was 10 years old are my groomsmen."
Darling, remember never let the schooling get in the way of your education.
The raunchy but sweet R-rated comedy "Bridesmaids" opens May 13 and revolves around two childhood friends (Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph) whose bond is put to the test when the unemployed Annie (Wiig) is asked to become maid of honor at Lillian's (Rudolph) ritzy wedding. Other wedding movies marching down the theater aisle soon include "Love, Wedding, Marriage" (June 3), "Bride Flight" (June 3) and "Love Etc." (July 15 in Los Angeles).

— have been dominated by male protagonists.
"The cynic in me would say producers, and that includes studios, want to bring the men into theaters and one way to do that is to have a traditionally female genre told from a male point of view" says Hunter.
Feig says this fact caused a "weird pressure" while making his comedy, "Basically I felt if I screw this up, it is just going to reinforce this belief that women can't carry a movie or you can't do a movie that stars all women. I think it's crazy because there are plenty of movies about guys that bomb too, but when a movie about women bombs it's like 'Oh, it can't be done,' he said. "All my friends were women growing up, so I never kind of understood the whole idea of not using women correctly in movies."

POLITICS
Despite the consequences, a terrorist is still a terrorist
As much symbol as mastermind, Osama bin Laden was the face of militant jihadism for legions of disaffected extremists around the world. Within hours of the Pakistan raid in which U.S. forces killed the al-Qaida leader, bin Laden's partisans began demanding reprisal attacks.
Dread came not from the knowledge that nihilist terrorists would seize on America's success to justify a new round of violence. That reaction was utterly predictable. I feared instead the response of many of my fellow liberals.
At its best, liberalism champions democratic institutions, minority rights and the peaceful airing of political grievances. Bin Laden spearheaded a movement calling for the installation of an Islamic caliphate, a notion incompatible with such liberal democratic principles as secular democracy, women's rights and respect for dissenters. That the al-Qaida vision is antithetical to liberalism — and

worthy of a vigorous, realistic and multilateral response — should be obvious enough.
But for a segment of the American left, criticism of U.S. foreign policy trumps other liberal values. America blundered, to be sure, in supporting some rather unsavory characters in the Cold War and in its foolish decision to invade Iraq. That doesn't mean, however, that the U.S. is an empire with malicious designs of plundering, looting and conquering. It's characteristic of the paranoid style to ascribe malevolent motives to those with whom
you simply disagree on a matter of practical policy.
Interviewed on Democracy Now this Monday, The Nation's Jeremy Scahill launched a vicious broadside against the war on terrorism.
many of them — but is it just possible that there is something inherent in the myopic, lethal worldview of bin Laden and his likl that leads them to bomb markets, use human shields and fly planes into American skyscrapers? Is there any point at which terrorists become responsible for their own reprehensible actions, or must we reconsider the merits of killing a terrorist mastermind out of fear that it may inflame radical youth?
For too many ostensible liberals, reflexive opposition to American foreign policy leads to moral relativism. Even as liberals denounce domestic fundamentalists who seek to defund Planned Parenthood, deny gays and lesbians the right to marry and maintain Jefferson's wall of separation between church and state, they seek to explain away the violence of foreign extremists.
"We have given a grand motivation to people around the world that want to do harm to Americans in our killing of civilians, our waging of war against countries that have no connection to al-Qaida and by staying in these countries long after the mission was accomplished," Scahill said.
Well. Say what you will about the strategic choices of Presidents Bush and Obama — and I have my qualms with
When Scott Roeder assassinated Dr. George Tiller in 2009, extremists within the anti-abortion movement asserted that by continuing to operate his abortion clinic in Wichita even after previous threats and attempts on his life, he invited his eventual murder. Liberals denounced such twisted thinking then, and they should do so now.

GUEST COLUMN: ALEX PUGH
Economic aid small step against terrorism
I was very disappointed in Hannah Sandals opinion piece on the role of UAV operations in Pakistan. Being that Ms. Sandal is a 3L I would much rather have read her take on the issue of legality in such strikes (a topic that certainly needs addressing), as her argument toward the counter-productivity of such drone strikes was, as a great genius once put it, "shallow and pedantic."
To paint the actions by the U.S. in Pakistan in as simple of terms as the military pursuit of al-Qeada operatives in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), all the while trying to win over the "hearts and minds" of the local populace through economic bribery is a gross misrepresentation of the Af-Pak situation. Before you proceed you must understand that I in no way condone the loss of innocent life toward the ends of security, but the world is a much more complex place than what Ms. Sandal presents it as.
It is necessary to first understand that U.S. military action in Pakistan's FATA is part of its COIN (counter-insurgency) doctrine, not counter-terrorism strategy, and thus is primarily aimed at disrupting the ability of the Taliban from using FATA as a staging area from which to launch attacks into Afghanistan.
Secondly, you'll have to realize that the Taliban is a pseudo Pashtun-tribal/nationalist movement born out of Saudi funded Deobandist religious madrassas. Guess where those madrassas were located? That's right, FATA! The Pashtun nation, to which the great majority of the Taliban belongs, straddles the Af-Pak border and entirely encompasses FATA, making the populace all but direct kinsmen to the very group of people the U.S. is attempting to make explode. Throwing some aid projects their way isn't just going to make them all of a sudden think that the U.S. is full of sunshine and butterflies.
in the '80s as part of Pakistan's drive for "strategic depth" in case of an Indian invasion. So yeah, you can forget about them just giving up the Haqqanis' any time soon.
Beyond this, the Taliban in Pakistan is not a stranger in a stranger land. They are actively assisted by and allied with the Haqqani network, a Pakistani insurgent group with close ties to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI; Pakistani CIA). As it is, the ISI helped setup the Haqqani network
To top this off, as of last year when the Pakistani Army first attempted to step up and clamp down on the Taliban and Haqqani groups in the NWFP and Swat Valley it has lost more soldiers than in all its wars with India combined and has displaced millions more of its citizens. Ask the Pakistani Army which they would prefer, drone strikes to full-frontal assault and I think you'd know their answer.
Going further, to argue that easing up on the ol' UAV strikes and giving the economic route a turn is, to put it gently, naive at best.
First off, there is no one "cureall" for terrorism. There are many different theories as to the symptoms and causes of someone being brought into the terrorist fold, but economic development is probably lowest on the list.
Remember that guy the U.S. just found in Pakistan, the most deadly terrorist to date, Osama bin Laden? He was from one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia. I think Col. Smart of the U.S. probably put it best in her paper on ideology formation by saying that it is "important to understand that global terrorism is not about Islam; it is about the social conditions connected with globalization." To say that by simply investing aid money into infrastructure and economic projects would at all benefit the goodwill felt toward the U.S. by the population of FATA (or anywhere for that matter) is the same kind of thinking that others like Greg Mortenson fell prey to. This also assumes that the U.S. is the master of its own public image within Pakistan, which it certainly is not. For a much better explication on this than I am able to give, check out Mosharraf Zaidis piece in Foreign Policy titled "The Lies They Tell Us." As it is, the situation is, and always will be, much more nuanced and complex than 'a little less of this' and 'a little more of this'.

COMMENTARY
Chivalry should take a cue from the animal kingdom
A recent lecture in my evolutionary biology class sparked my attentiveness on modern courtship in humans: it does not exist.
It has compromised chivalry and devolved into dating. And this dating, for the most part, is tacky, lacking and boring.
Traditionally, courtship was meant for the male to actively court or "woo" the female. (Let's not focus on gender roles.) Suitors would woo their intended love interest with flowery poems and serenades. In the 17th century, Europe and America allowed courting couples to share a bed, fully clothed, to converse all night. It gives a new definition to pillow talk, or rather, archaic.
Chivalrous Englishmen in the 18th century gave their loved one a pair of gloves and if she wore it to Church that next Sunday, she had accepted the proposal. These acts have an element of excitement, suspense and passion.
Where did they go? It has amounted to dating. The term "date" roots back in the 1890s in terms of prostitution. Talk about romantic.
Today in our college setting, dating has either resulted through alcohol, "hooking up" or even worse, online. There is something very awkward about reading on an online profile: I enjoy badminton, Coldplay, and "wants kids in the future" in hopes someone will message you back stating they are interested. And anyone can digitally edit a profile picture.
I am not devaluing people that have online dating profiles. It is sad that we live in a society in which many students who attend a college with over 30,000 students feel the need to meet

someone on the Internet.
We could learn a thing or two from animals and courtship. Weedy Sea Dragons engage in a dance during their courtship by mirroring each other in delicate unison underwater. Robins and Cardinals prepare grub meals for the female. Bighorn Sheep prove their love for their gal with sweet competition. During mating season, rams butt heads with their giant horns in hopes to plow one to the ground. Even koalas, one of the laziest animals, sing for females Animals who are supposed to be less specialized and less mentally capable have the upper hand in the arena.
Modern courting consists of tight clothes, buying drinks, dirty dancing and then sex. Really? It is evident that the environment such as the bar setting or house party might not change, but spice it up! Maybe leave the archaic poem and gloves at home, but serenading with a nice freestyle would be refreshing. And instead of grinding, try a dance off in which "the Bernie" must be present. (YouTube it.) If the club isn't your scene, then why not something outdoors? Nothing says competitive like being served in badminton.

BREGMAN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
S
arah was born Dec. 3, 1990, in Steamboat Springs, Colo., a small ski town just west of the
Continental Divide. Her mother, Anita Neilson, was a musician at Club Majik's, a local dinner theater. As a talented pianist and the daughter of a minister, Anita also played the organ in a nearby Methodist church. Sarah's father, Barry Gross Sr., worked as a cook in small diners around town. He was a burly man with a booming voice and an aggressive temperament. He said police arrested him 15 times for charges ranging from trespassing and driving under the influence to child abuse and domestic violence.

One of Sarah's earliest memories is of her dad hurling her mom's keyboard at the windshield of their car as her mom drove it away, fleeing one of their frequent fights. The yelling usually started in the evening. Anita would accuse him of something, most often cheating on her. He would deny it. Before long they were both screaming while Sarah and her brother, Barry, listened from the living room.
Social services took notice after neighbors complained about the late-nightights. Not long after Sarah's third birthday, Colorado officials gave her mom an ultimatum: She could either leave her husband and keep her children or hand custody over to the state.
Anita refused to give them up. She secured a restraining order on Barry St. before moving with Sarah and Barry 50 miles west to Craig, Colo. There they lived in a low-income apartment complex on the west edge of town for the next five years. Anita and Barry made the separation official when they divorced on Jan.15,1995.
THE FAMILY
ANITA STRUGGLED as a single mom. She couldn't hold a job and depended on welfare and food stamps to support herself and her two children. She now blames social services for the divorce that she says "the system" forced her into. Her mental health worsened as her frustrations grew and a psychiatrist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder, though Sarah said she refused to acknowledge the disorder for more than a decade.

"One of our meals sometimes was a spoonful of peanut butter," she said.
Sarah said she noticed that when her mom started to use drugs, her mom lost her appetite and only sporadically bought groceries or cooked. Sarah remembers TV dinners and mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches as staples of her child-
Sarah (far right) with her parents and brother in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Sarah moved 50 miles west to Craig, Colo., when she was three years old.
Sarah and her brother said that drugs consumed their mom's life. Sarah remembers nights not knowing where she was or when she would return. When her mom finally came home, Sarah said, she would sleep all day.
While Sarah worried about her mom, she relished the newfound independence gained from her mother's inattention. She and her brother became talented dumpster divers away from the watchful eyes of grown-ups. In the dumpster by their apartment, they found ropes to swing from and discarded needles to use as squirt guns. She could ride her bike anywhere, watch limitless TV and play Metroid Prime on Super Nintendo whenever she wanted.
"She wasn't the best mom at first," Sarah said, sounding forgiving, almost apologetic. "I hate talking bad about her."
Even today, Sarah finds it difficult to blame her mom for anything that happened to her.
1991
SARAH'H FATHER kept in touch with his ex-wife and children after they moved to Craig. Despite the restraining order, he visited them several times a year. With no car and little money, he resorted to hitchhiking to make the 50-mile trip. Barry Sr, usually brought marijuana for Anita and cash for Sarah and Barry to buy groceries. He worked a series of maintenance jobs to help cover child support.
"I was Barry the paycheck," he explained.
Barry Sr. grew resentful toward social services and his ex-wife for
Despite her mom's erratic behavior, Sarah looked forward to her dad's visits. He added a fleeting sense of stability to her life. He scolded her for misbehaving, cared for her when she was sick and cooked her breakfast.
She remembers him for his eggs Benedict; Sarah's brother remembers him for his tough love.
"He was the only form of discipline there was," he said.
EVENTUALLY ANITA started hiring babysitters when she went out. None lasted long, especially the strict ones. Sarah and Barry bombarded them with eggs and
attention to them.
"He made us feel like we were people," Sarah said.
John started inviting Sarah, then only eight, into his bedroom while her brother watched TV in the living room. There he physically forced her into having sex. Though she tried to resist, John, who was in his late teens, easily overpowered her.
The rapes happened regularly for several months — always in John's bedroom. Sarah said he threatened to hurt her family if she told anyone. She worried that doing so would ruin her mom's relationship with John's mother.
taking away his children, especially after he learned about her drug use and diminishing mental health. He considered himself the more stable parent, never knowing what Anita's state of mind would be when he visited. One time she accused him of stealing her cigarettes and sprayed him in the eyes with the insecticide Raid before kicking him out of her apartment. Other times she called police, accusing Barry Sr. of abuse or trespassing and telling them to arrest him.

Then came John.

Sarah liked John at first because he was more lenient than their previous babysitters, and he paid
Finally, when she could no longer take it, she told her mom, who then told her dad. He immediately called police.
Anita panicked. She knew what it meant if police got involved. Sarah said social services were already monitoring her mom. If they heard about this, Anita worried they would take away her children for good. She loaded them in the car and drove aimlessly through the countryside for more than an hour. Police were waiting when they returned home. They rushed Sarah to the hospital. She said her mom told her to keep quiet, that social services would take her away if she talked.
"It was totally impulsive," Sarah said about her mom's behavior.
But she was nine years old at the time; she hadn't even heard of bipolar disorder.

Police arrived three days later and arrested Anita. By the end of the week, Sarah and her siblings were back in Craig. They spent the next two years in foster care with two different families. The only times they saw their mom or dad were during supervised visits.
Sarah didn't take her mom's advice, but in the end it didn't matter. She said police had no physical evidence other than her statement. Sarah said John denied the allegations. All it meant was that social services had one more strike against her mom for neglecting her children.
FOSTER CARE wasn't entirely new to Sarah. She and her siblings had spent a week in state custody after her mom was hospitalized earlier that year. They moved back in with the same couple when they returned from Lindsborg.
HEART at the same time
But this time it was different and Sarah knew it. She dreaded going back. Sarah didn't understand what her mom had done or why she had been taken away from her. Why couldn't she stay in Lindsborg with her grandparents? Why did she have to move back to Craig? None of it made sense to her.
John's real name was changed for this article because he was never charged with raping Sarah.
ANITA'S MENTAL and physical health worsened after she gave birth to Brittany, Sarah's younger sister who shared the same father, on Oct. 8, 1998. She was hospitalized several times because of a collapsed lung and eventually had it removed.

Ten months later she unexpectedly asked Sarah and Barry if they wanted to move to Lindsborg, Kan., a small farming town 15 miles south of Salina, to live with her parents. Sarah eagerly said yes. She didn't know about the upcoming court date her mom was running away from.

"I was a furious kid," she said.
Then came court-mandated counselors, supervised visits and bouts of depression for Sarah. Doctors first prescribed her Paxil to treat post-traumatic stress disorder when she was nine years old. Counselors tried to comfort Sarah by taking her out for ice cream and to swim at the lake. None of it seemed to work. She would flee therapy sessions when counselors refused to talk about her mom's situation.
They left at night and arrived in Lindsborg the next morning. Anita had driven more than 600
"I was told that was adult stuff to talk about," Sarah said, "that I wasn't supposed to worry about those kinds of things."
To make matters worse, she once again became the victim of sexual abuse.

But that didn't stop Sarah from telling her therapist. She said Joaquim wanted her to, that he thought it would help him. As a result, he and his brother were removed from the foster home. Nancy Smith, Sarahs court-appointed guardian at the time in Colorado, filed a lawsuit against social services on Sarahs behalf. The case was settled out of court.
Smith said she was unable to comment on the case because of a confidentiality agreement included in the settlement. The court awarded Sarah an undisclosed amount of money. It likely ranged from $20,000 to $40,000, according to estimates provided by Sarah and relatives familiar with the case.
SARAH WAS playing in the bedroom her brother shared with two other foster children the first time Joaquim, her 16-year-old foster brother, raped her. He had told his younger brother, Jessie, and Barry to hide in the closet. That same week their foster mother had taken Brittany to Florida. Their foster father was asleep on the opposite end of the trailer. Barry said he wanted to stop Joaquim, but that he was too scared to move.
Soon after, Joaquim started sneak

What made the abuse difficult for Sarah was that during the day she liked Joaquim. He protected her from his younger brother, who would chase her around the trailer they now lived in and show her his self-inflicted scars. But at night she was terrified of Joaquim. She would lie in bed watching her clock, waiting anxiously for 12.01.
"Ive never held it against him because of that moment," she said. "Even though I was so scared of him at night and knew he was going to hurt me, I still believed he was a good person."
foster parents, but she also felt increasingly depressed. She fought regularly with her new foster mom and fantasized about killing herself by jumping out of a car on the highway.
After several weeks Joaquim abruptly stopped. The last time he snuck into Sarah's room he apologized and started hitting himself. He told Sarah that he knew it was wrong, but that he couldn't control himself.
Sarah also grew frustrated with tedious therapy sessions and mind-numbing medication. None of it seemed to relieve the guilt she felt for what happened to her and her family. She blamed herself.

Edgar Jerins, Sarah's second cousin, used charcoal to draw this family portrait of (from left) Sarah, Brittany and Barry with their aunt and uncle in their dining room.
But that was before her grandmother lost her half of the guardianship two years later as the result of another court hearing. The court transferred full guardianship to her aunt and uncle, Daina and Doyle Rhodes. Although Barry remained largely apathetic about the decision, Sarah adamantly supported it. She hated living with her grandmother, a first-generation Latvian immigrant with a stern presence. She especially hated what her brother described as her grandmother's old-world habits.
"Our grandmother thought the belt was the best way to punish," he said.
After the court transferred guardianship, Sarah, Barry and Brittany moved in with their aunt and uncle on their five-acre farm just south of Lindsborg. Once again, Sarah tried to stay optimistic.
BARRY WAS standing in the doorway to the kitchen when his aunt and uncle walked in holding Sarah. She was obviously drunk. She slurred her words and fell to the floor.
Sarah knew she wasn't supposed to drink alcohol while on Lamictal, but she didn't care. After all, she wouldn't have been on medication at all if her aunt and uncle hadn't committed her to Prairie View at the beginning of the school year. They thought she had become suicidal. Now they worried Sarah had alcohol poisoning. Barry stayed home to watch Brittany while their uncle drove Sarah to the emergency room. Sarah returned home later that night after spending several hours in the emergency room.
In the following weeks, when Sarah's aunt and uncle took away her cellphone and wouldn't let her go out with friends, she started sneaking out. Barry kept his distance from Sarah for weeks after the incident. He worried about her growing drug habit. That same year she started smoking marijuana on a weekly basis and experimenting with harder drugs,
including cocaine.
"That was my escape," she said.
"It's really how I tried to forget."
It was Sarah's junior year of high school. She had been living with her aunt and uncle for more than four years. She was convinced they lied to her about her mom, that she wasn't as bad as they said she was, and she hated them for it. Sarah said she knew her mom was trying. Anita had recently bought a house in Lindsborg and continued seeing a therapist. She worked a series of jobs, but unpaid legal fees forced her into bankruptcy last year after she spent thousands fighting the guardianship in court.
ON THE night before Thanksgiving, when Sarah was 17, she stayed up late with two friends. Sarah wanted to talk to them away from her aunt and uncle. But because she wasn't allowed to leave their property, they sat outside in her friend's dark-blue Oldsmobile, parked in Sarah's driveway. They were still there when her uncle woke up around 6 a.m. He was furious and soon began yelling at Sarah.
"Whether or not I thought she could be a good parent, I knew she was a good person," Sarah said. "She deserved a chance."
uncle could have forced her to come back, but they apparently never did.
THE NEXT seven months proved difficult for Sarah. She worked 12-hour shifts at the Bethany Home, a local retirement community, to help support herself and her mom. She didn't regret her decision to move in with her.
But that summer Anita became increasingly manic. She screamed for hours during the day and at night. Sarah tried to calm her, but nothing seemed to work.
The breaking point came when her mom reported her to police for being out past curfew. The next day Sarah moved in with her boyfriend's mother and stayed with her for the remainder of the school year. It was her third home in less than a year, but by then she was used to it.
"It was easy in the sense that I knew my mom actually cared about me," she said.

"My entire life I have lived to try to attain a better understanding of why," Sarah wrote. "Why my life has not been society's standard of normal."
The letter from KU Financial Aid and Scholarships arrived in early April, a month before Sarah's high school graduation. Sarah had won the Hixson. Four months later, she moved into Ellsworth Hall.
SARAH TALKS openly about her past. She may rub her nose with the palm of her hand when she appears uncomfortable, a nervous habit, but most of the time she remains calm. She's more likely to be upset because of a bad grade or a difficult assignment than because of anything that happened to her before college.
"I deal with life crises better than with what a college student should be doing," she said. "It's really hard getting used to having a normal life."
"I wanted to try to stick it out, but two more years felt like a lifetime."

Sarah's life has remained far from easy since she arrived in Lawrence two years ago. Last spring her younger sister committed suicide.

Her mom still experiences manic episodes and talks about killing herself while Sarah continues to struggle with depression. Sometimes she sees a therapist, but she refuses to take medication.

It's what gives her a chance at her once elusive dream of a normal life, if only she wanted one.

What is the Hixson Opportunity Award?
Christina Hixson never attended college, but each year the Hixson Opportunity Award, a $5,000 renewable scholarship given in her name, provides 10 to 11 high school seniors the opportunity to attend the University of Kansas.
CAROLINE M. KNOPPE
The Hixson Award stands out from other KU scholarships. Applicants need something more intangible to ACT scores, good grades and volunteer hours to
Hixson
qualify. They need a story of personal hardships and financial difficulties that make it unlikely they could ever attend college.
"For many of the great successes of the world, the background they came from was their great challenge," Hisxion told the Department Financial Aid and Scholarship. "I'm trying to find those people. Those who may
not have the highest grade point or a perfect family background, but who can be successful. These are the ones who will lend the helping hands in the future."
As the sole trustee of the Lied Foundation Trust, Hixson has donated more than $24 million the University, much of which built the Lied Center. Most recently, she gave $2.5 million to help fund the Lied Center lobby expansion that opened in March.
The first class of KU Hixson scholars will graduate this spring. Seven of the original 10 students are still enrolled at the University.
Hixson established the Hixson Award at the University in 2007, though a similar program has existed at Iowa State University since 1995. Hixson scholars graduated at a rate 10 percent higher than the all-university average at Iowa State between 1995 and 2006.
Of the 80 to 100 high school seniors who apply for the Hixson Award every year, almost all experience financial difficulties and many don't come from a traditional two-parent household, said Sara Vancil, KU assistant director of financial aid and scholarships.
"Some of the applicants have even dealt with extremely serious situations within their families, such

as abuse, neglect, drug issues and issues with the law" she added.
The Hixson Award allows recipients to turn something bad into something good. It can be their ticket out of unhealthy and unstable lives. Their ability to survive and prosper despite those difficulties is what qualifies them for the Hixson Award.
"We want students who have demonstrated they are capable of overcoming adversity," Vancil said. "We look for resilient students who, despite obstacles, remain passionate about graduating from college and specifically about succeeding at KU."

S
arah was born Dec. 3, 1990,
in Steamboat Springs, Colo.
a small ski town just west of the
Continental Divide. Her mother, Anita Neilson, was a musician at Club Majik's, a local dinner theater. As a talented pianist and the daughter of a minister, Anita also played the organ in a nearby Methodist church. Sarah's father, Barry Gross Sr., worked as a cook in small dinners around town. He was a burly man with a booming voice and an aggressive temperament. He said police arrested him 15 times for charges ranging from trespassing and driving under the influence to child abuse and domestic violence.
One of Sarah's earliest memories is of her dad hurling her mom's keyboard at the windshield of their car as her mom drove it away, fleeing one of their frequent fights. The yelling usually started in the evening. Anita would accuse him of something, most often cheating on her. He would deny it. Before long they were both screaming while Sarah and her brother, Barry, listened from the living room.
Social services took notice after neighbors complained about the late-night nights. Not long after Sarah's third birthday, Colorado officials gave her mom an ultimatum: She could either leave her husband and keep her children or hand custody over to the state.
Anita refused to give them up. She secured a restraining order on Barry Sr. before moving with Sarah and Barry 50 miles west to Craig, Colo. There they lived in a low-income apartment complex on the west edge of town for the next five years. Anita and Barry made the separation official when they divorced on Jan. 15, 1995.
ANITA STRUGGLED as a single mom. She couldn't hold a job and depended on welfare and food stamps to support herself and her two children. She now blames social services for the divorce that she says "the system" forced her into. Her mental health worsened as her frustrations grew and a psychiatrist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder, though Sarah said she refused to acknowledge the disorder for more than a decade.
Sarah said she noticed that when her mom started to use drugs, her mom lost her appetite and only sporadically bought groceries or cooked. Sarah remembers TV dinners and mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches as staples of her childhood diet.
"One of our meals sometimes was a spoonful of peanut butter," she said.

Sarah and her brother said that drugs consumed their mom's life. Sarah remembers nights not knowing where she was or when she would return. When her mom finally came home, Sarah said, she would sleep all day.

While Sarah worried about her mom, she relished the newfound independence gained from her mother's inattention. She and her brother became talented dumpster divers away from the watchful eyes of grown-ups. In the dumpster by their apartment, they found ropes to swing from and discarded needles to use as squirt guns. She could ride her bike anywhere, watch limitless TV and play Metroid Prime on Super Nintendo whenever she wanted.
"She wasn't the best mom at first," Sarah said, sounding forgiving, almost apologetic. "I hate talking bad about her."
Even today, Sarah finds it difficult to blame her mom for anything that happened to her.
Sarah (far right) with her parents and brother in Steamboat Springs, Colo., Sarah moved 50 miles west to Crain, Colo., when she was three years old.
SARAH'S FATHER kept in touch with his ex-wife and children after they moved to Craig. Despite the restraining order, he visited them several times a year. With no car and little money, he resorted to hitchhiking to make the 50-mile trip. Barry Sr. usually brought marijuana for Anita and cash for Sarah and Barry to buy groceries. He worked a series of maintenance jobs to help cover child support.
"I was' Barry the paycheck," he explained.
Barry Sr. grew resentful toward social services and his ex-wife for

Despite her mom's erratic behavior, Sarah looked forward to her dad's visits. He added a fleeting sense of stability to her life. He scolded her for misbehaving, cared for her when she was sick and cooked her breakfast.
She remembers him for his eggs Benedict; Sarah's brother remembers him for his tough love.
"He was the only form of discipline there was," he said.
EVENTUALLY ANITA started hiring babiesitters when she went out. None lasted long, especially the strict ones. Sarah and Barry bombarded them with eggs and
attention to them.
"He made us feel like we were people," Sarah said.
John started inviting Sarah, then only eight, into his bedroom while her brother watched TV in the living room. There he physically forced her into having sex. Though she tried to resist, John, who was in his late teens, easily overpowered her.
The rapes happened regularly for several months — always in John's bedroom. Sarah said he threatened to hurt her family if she told anyone. She worried that doing so would ruin her mom's relationship with Johns' mother.

taking away his children, especially after he learned about her drug use and diminishing mental health. He considered himself the more stable parent, never knowing what Anita's state of mind would be when he visited. One time she accused him of stealing her cigarettes and sprayed him in the eyes with the insecticide Raid before kicking him out of her apartment. Other times she called police, accusing Barry Sr. of abuse or trespassing and telling them to arrest him.
soda cans while perched on a shelf inside their bedroom closet.
"I hated being this problem child," Sarah explained.
"I don't think she was able to get very many after a while," Sarah said.
Then came John.
John was the son of one of Anita's friends, a slightly overweight teenager with short blond hair. Before going out, Anita would send her children to his apartment in the same complex.
Sarah liked John at first because he was more lenient than their previous babysitters, and he paid
Finally, when she could no longer take it, she told her mom, who then told her dad. He immediately called police.
Anita panicked. She knew what it meant if police got involved. Sarah said social services were already monitoring her mom. If they heard about this, Anita worried they would take away her children for good. She loaded them in the car and drove aimlessly through the countryside for more than an hour. Police were waiting when they returned home. They rushed Sarah to the hospital. She said her mom told her to keep quiet, that social services would take her away if she talked.

"It was totally impulsive," Sarah said about her mom's behavior.

Police arrived three days later and arrested Anita. By the end of the week, Sarah and her siblings were back in Craig. They spent the next two years in foster care with two different families. The only times they saw their mom or dad were during supervised visits.
But she was nine years old at the time; she hadn't even heard of bipolar disorder.
Sarah didn't take her moms advice, but in the end it didn't matter. She said police had no physical evidence other than her statement. Sarah said John denied the allegations. All it meant was that social services had one more strike against her mom for neglecting her children.
John's real name was changed for this article because he was never charged with raping Sarah.
FOSTER CARE wasn't entirely new to Sarah. She and her siblings had spent a week in state custody after her mom was hospitalized earlier that year. They moved back in with the same couple when they returned from Lindsborg.

But this time it was different and Sarah knew it. She dreaded going back. Sarah didn't understand what her mom had done or why she had been taken away from her. Why couldn't she stay in Lindsborg with her grandparents? Why did she have to move back to Craig? None of it made sense to her.
ANITA'S MENTAL and physical health worsened after she gave birth to Brittany, Sarah's younger sister who shared the same father, on Oct. 8, 1998. She was hospitalized several times because of a collapsed lung and eventually had it removed.

Ten months later she unexpectedly asked Sarah and Barry if they wanted to move to Lindsborg, Kan., a small farming town 15 miles south of Salina, to live with her parents. Sarah eagerly said yes. She didn't know about the upcoming court date her mom was running away from.
They left at night and arrived in Lindsborg the next morning. Anita had driven more than 600
"I was a furious kid," she said.

A worksheet Sarah completed when she was 9 years old.
Then came court-mandated counselors, supervised visits and bouts of depression for Sarah. Doctors first prescribed her Paxil to treat post-traumatic stress disorder when she was nine years old. Counselors tried to comfort Sarah by taking her out for ice cream and to swim at the lake. None of it seemed to work. She would flee therapy sessions when counselors refused to talk about her mom's situation.
"I was told that was adult stuff to talk about," Sarah said, "that I wasn't supposed to worry about those kinds of things."
To make matters worse, she once again became the victim of sexual abuse.
But that didn't stop Sarah from telling her therapist. She said Joaquim wanted her to, that he thought it would help him. As a result, he and his brother were removed from the foster home. Nancy Smith, Sarah's court-appointed guardian at the time in Colorado, filed a lawsuit against social services on Sarah's behalf. The case was settled out of court.
Smith said she was unable to comment on the case because of a confidentiality agreement included in the settlement. The court awarded Sarah an undisclosed amount of money. It likely ranged from $20,000 to $40,000, according to estimates provided by Sarah and relatives familiar with the case.
SARAH WAS playing in the bedroom her brother shared with two other foster children the first time Joaquim, her 16-year-old foster brother, raped her. He had told his younger brother, Jessie, and Barry to hide in the closet. That same week their foster mother had taken Brittany to Florida. Their foster father was asleep on the opposite end of the trailer. Barry said he wanted to stop Joaquim, but that he was too scared to move.
Soon after, Joaquim started sneak
ing into Sarah's room. The alarm clock on her nightstand almost always said 12:01 when the door slowly crept open. Joaquim kept quiet as he shut the door and crept to her bed. Sarah often pretended to be asleep; it was easier not to look at him. Though she said it was painful, she never fought back.
What made the abuse difficult for Sarah was that during the day she liked Joaquim. He protected her from his younger brother, who would chase her around the trailer they now lived in and show her his self-inflicted scars. But at night she was terrified of Joaquim. She would lie in bed watching her clock, waiting anxiously for 12:01.
After several weeks Joaquim abruptly stopped. The last time he snuck into Sarah's room he apologized and started hitting himself. He told Sarah that he knew it was wrong, but that he couldn't control himself.
"I've never held it against him because of that moment," she said. "Even though I was so scared of him at night and knew he was going to hurt me, I still believed he was a good person."

After Sarah had spent 18 months in foster care, social services scheduled a family unity meeting.

not have the highest grade point or a perfect name, background, but who can be successful. These are the ones who will lend the helping hands in the future."
As the sole trustee of the Lied Foundation Trust, Hixson has donated more than $24 million the University, much of which built the Lied Center. Most recently, she gave $2.5 million to help fund the Lied Center lobby expansion that opened in March.
Hixson established the Hixson Award at the University in 2007, though a similar program has existed at Iowa State University since 1995. Hixson scholars graduated at a rate 10 percent higher than the all-university average at Iowa State between 1995 and 2006.
The first class of KU Hixson scholars will graduate this spring. Seven of the original 10 students are still enrolled at the University.
Of the 80 to 100 high school seniors who apply for the Hixson Award every year, almost all experience financial difficulties and many don't come from a traditional two-parent household, said Sara Vancil, KU assistant director of financial aid and scholarships.
"Some of the applicants have even dealt with extremely serious situations within their families, such

as abuse, neglect, drug issues and issues with the law" she added.
The Hixson Award allows recipients to turn something bad into something good. It can be their ticket out of unhealthy and unstable lives. Their ability to survive and prosper despite those difficulties is what qualifies them for the Hixson Award.
"We want students who have demonstrated they are capable of overcoming adversity," Vancil said. "We look for resilient students who, despite obstacles, remain passionate about graduating from college and specifically about succeeding at KU."

California may outlaw shark fins
SAN FRANCISCO — A California proposal to outlaw the title ingredient in shark fin soup, a traditional Chinese delicacy, has turned into a recipe for controversy in San Francisco, a city that is nearly one-third Asian and home to the nation's oldest Chinatown.
A bill moving through the state Legislature would ban the sale, distribution and possession of shark fins. State and federal laws prohibit shark finning in U.S. waters but do not address the importation of fins from other countries.
Alex Ong, chef at the Pan-Asian restaurant Betelnut in San Francisco's Marina district, said the broth in shark fin soup is what provides most of the flavor, and the fins themselves can be easily substituted by other seafood or even creatively disguised starch.
Supporters say shark finning is inhumane and a threat to the ocean ecosystem. They say an estimated 73 million sharks a year are slaughtered, mainly for shark fin soup, which can sell for more than $80 a bowl and is often served at weddings and banquets.
"The collapse of shark populations because of overfishing is a conservation issue of global concern, and the demand for fins drives overfishing of sharks," said Mike Sutton, director of the Center for the Future of the Oceans at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, located about 115 miles south of San Francisco.
Se Bam
Ong said when he saw video footage of fisherman slicing off sharks' fins and tossing the animals back into the ocean to die, the images hit him "right in the gut" and he vowed to work to stop the practice.
But critics of the proposed ban say the consumption of shark fins is a cherished cultural tradition.
"This is traditional for us.
When you say no to shark fin, that's profiling," said Henry Cheung, president of Charlie Seafood Inc., a San Francisco-based wholesaler and importer: "The law doesn't ban shark meat or a handbag made with shark skin — just fins. I myself believe it's unfair."
Cheung also questioned the need for a ban on a product he says is already losing popularity, particularly among young people. He said his business stopped importing shark fins years ago, due to declining demand.
In a statement issued Feb. 14, the day the legislation was introduced, state Sen Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, called the measure "an unfair attack on Asian culture and cuisine."
Yee, who will officially kick off his campaign for mayor of San Francisco on Saturday, said efforts should be focused on strengthening conservation efforts and increasing penalties for illegally killing sharks.
In addition to local chefs and politicians, a few celebrities have jumped into the debate.
Chinese basketball star Yao Ming is loaning his celebrity to the anti-finning movement, appearing on city buses and billboards urging residents in Chinese and English to "Join me; say no to shark fin soup." The Houston Rockets center came to town Thursday to film a public service announcement for the international conservation group, WildAid.
Shark fins also may prove an unexpected ingredient in this year's mayoral race, which includes three prominent Asian-American candidates: Yee, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu and Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting.
San Francisco is home to the largest percentage of Asian Americans of any county in the continental U.S.

Valuable players graduate
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
In the end it wasn't the penalties, which had plagued the 7-6 Jayhawks all season, or the conditioning, which had been a downfall at times, but the lack of offensive production that led to the end of the season and era for Kansas' men's club lacrosse team.
Kansas entered the fourth quarter down 4-3 with a chance to pull off the upset. Instead, the team was stifled by the Illini defense.
The Jayhawks fell to the 12-5 Illinois Fighting Illini 9-6 in St. Charles, Mo., in the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference playoffs Friday night, putting a bittersweet end to the otherwise successful season.
"We just couldn't knock a few goals in." coach Dennis Shults said, "We were shooting well, but they had a great goalie. I thought everything was clicking, but we just never got the shots to fall."
The Jayhawks averaged 11.58 goals per game in the regular season, yet were only able to net six on the illini. Attack Francis Enright; a senior from Winnetka, Ill., and Evan O'Brien, a junior from Overland Park, each had two goals in the contest.
The missed scoring opportunities upset Shults, however, he
was extremely impressed with the defensive showing from his crew.
Kansas started off the game dominating the pace, throwing body checks around, and even knocking two Illini out of the game.
"Defensively we were solid," Shuils said. "We put the hardest hits on people, and were the strongest hitting Jayhawk team that I have seen."
Kevin Munch, Vincent Santucci, Charlie Mullins, Charles Jones, David Curtin, Francis Enright and Nathan Jones will all be graduating this year, leaving some gaps on the depth chart, and many questions for next season.
Even with the season complete, Shults will have to deal with even more losses.
In Enrightt's four years he posted 186 points for the Jayhawks, with 125 of them being goals, and had his best year of his career this season. His 61 points helped guide Kansas to a Division 1AA title and undefeated conference record in the process, making his loss hurt all the more. In planning for a team without Enright, Shults has decided to switch up his system.
"I want to make a few changes in the offense and get more of the guys scoring. I don't think it's gonna be so heavily involved with one person who is carrying the load"
The layhawks also lose a playmaking dynamic in Santucci, and a shutdown defenseman in Kevin Munch.
While the times are changing in the club lacrosse locker room, it is not all negative.
Midfielder Tim MacArthur, a freshman from Tallahassee, Fla., will see ampie playing time next season, as will Tyler Cauble, a freshman from Libertyville, Ill., who had a productive rookie season with six goals, and two assists.
Shults has also stated that he has been in contact with many recruits who he believes will be a big part of the jayhaws division title defense next season.
"I've been emailing some attacks, midfielders and a goalie," Shults said. "We got a hole to with two of our D-Poles.
With a long offseason now in place, Shults and the rest of the Jayhawks will have to wait and see what kind of recruiting class they are able to bring in. With many questions waiting to be answered, next season's tryouts will be an informative day for Shults as Kansas looks to defend its Division 1AA title.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
on first, senior outfielder Brandon Macias went deep hitting a two-run home run tying the game at 7-7.
The Jayhawks' junior closer Colton Murray gave up two singles and a walk to load the bases in the ninth. Needing to throw a strike after two straight balls, Murray threw a hittable pitch that Einsberg got a hold of, and sent out of the ballpark to give Oklahoma the 11-7 win.
Sunday's effort was very different from Friday and Saturday's games, in which the Jayhawks were blown out by the Sooners 12-1 Friday and 11-4 Saturday. The Jayhawks' four
errors Friday and five on Saturday, led to 12 total unearned runs scored by the Sooners.
"That's just baseball, all year we've played pretty solid defense," Macias said. "Errors are going to happen, and its just unfortunate that they happened during this series. They capitalized on every error we made, and made it into something bigger."
Price's feelings about the Jayhawks' defensive performance were much more stern than Macias'.
"That's as bad as two games as we've played back-to-back defensively in the nine years I've been here," Price said.
The sweep drops Kansas to ninth in the Big 12 standings, half a game behind Kansas State — the layhawks final Big 12 opponent. Only the top eight teams in the Big 12 make it to the tournament, so everything will be on the line, in a three-game showdown with the Wildcats.
First though, the Jayhawks must recover from a heartbreaking weekend — a weekend in which Oklahoma delivered the knockout punch, only after the Jayhawks beat themselves up first.

Several missed opportunities for the Cubs after losing to the Reds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Cubs had several prime scoring chances again Sunday — twice loading the bases — but couldn't come up with a big hit against Johnny Cueto and four Cincinnati relievers as the Reds took the finale of a three-game series 2-0.
CHICAGO — The ivy covering the walls at Wrigley Field is still mostly a winter brown, a sign that full-fledged spring in the upper Midwest has not arrived. The same can be said for the Chicago Cubs' offense. It's yet to blossom.
"There's no magic formula," Chicago manager Mike Quade said, echoing a familiar lack-ofoffense theme for his 15-18 team.
two outs before retiring Castro on a grounder to third.
"He's just not very patient," Quade said of Castro, adding that it's an adjustment time for the young player. "He's just expanding the strike zone too much. As good as he is, guys who pitch at this level will take advantage of that if you're not disciplined enough."
Chicago also threatened in the third when starter Ryan Dempster singled and made it to third on an error by shortstop Edgar Renteria, who made an errant flip to second after fielding Fukudome's grounder. But moments later, Dempster was tagged out trying to score on a grounder to third baseman Miguel Cairo.
Who knows when? Now, the Cubs' young star,21-year-old stopshort Starlin Castro, is scuffling. After an 0-for-4 outing Sunday, he

ARAMIS RAMIREZ Third baseman
Marlon Byrd then reached on an infield single to load the bases, but Aramis Ramirez flied out.
2 is for 25 in its last six games.
Chicago loaded the bases in the seventh. After Alfonso Soriano's leadoff single finished Cueto, Sam LeCure plunked pinch-hitter Reed Johnson and walked Kosuke Fukudome with
Q u a d e said it was a tough play for Dempster to read and that the Cubs want the runner to break to force the action, if there is a chance a double play can be turned. The Reds went to the plate instead, Dempster was an easy out and the Cubs couldn't convert.
"We are losing games because we are not hitting the way we like to," said Ramirez, who is batting. 273 but has only one homer and 12 RBIs in the first five weeks. "We hit some balls hard, but the wind was blowing in."
Ramirez said it's too early to panic or to make major alterations.
Carlos Pena, who homered Saturday in a comeback victory, hit a long shot to the center-field wall in the ninth on Sunday but Drew Stubbs hauled it in.
"If you start changing, you are going to struggle," Ramirez said. "You got to stick. That's what I told Pena today — just keep swinging, keep doing what you've got to do and don't change anything."
Dempster had his second straight strong outing after a shaky beginning. The Cubs' opening-day starter went seven innings, giving up five hits and two runs, one on a solo homer by Stubbs. Dempster had no walks and four strikeouts.
"More quality pitches than he was throwing early on. He just looks more in control of himself, like he's got it figured out," Quade said.
Dempster was encouraged
"Anything is better than the way I was pitching," he said. "I like the way I threw the ball. I didn't walk anybody."

Mavericks eliminate Lakers' chance of a three-peat
NBA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — So long, Phil.
So long, chances for another
Lakers three-peat.
Hello, Western Conference finals for Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks.
Jason Terry tied an NBA postseason record with nine 3-pointers and the Mavericks matched a league playoff mark with 20 3s on their way to a 122-86 victory over
the Lakers on Sunday and a sweep of their second-round series against the most successful coach in NBA history and the two-time defending champions.
Terry made five 3s in the second quarter, personally outscoring Los Angeles 20-16 in the period and helping Dallas lead by 24 at halftime. When Terry made 3s on consecutive possessions early in the third quarter, he drained whatever comeback hopes the Lakers had
left.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Lakers were so devastated that Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum resorted to throwing cheap shots. They were ejected 45 seconds apart, with Jackson sitting on the bench looking as if he'd already checked out. Kobe Bryant soon joined him on the sideline, with deep reserves playing out the final minutes of what turned out to be the second-widest margin of defeat in Lakers
Jackson left the court with a tight smile, accepting hugs and handshakes from Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, Jason Kidd and Mark Cuban. It was the first time hed been swept in his 21 postseasons on the sideline. It didn't happened to Bryant and the Lakers since 1999, the year before the Zen Master arrived in Los Angeles. This is the fourth time any NBA champion defend-
playoff history and in Jackson's storied playoff career.
For Nowitzki and the Mavs, clearing this hurdle sets them up for a chance to redeem themselves for flopping during the 2006 NBA finals and for flaming out in every postseason since.
ing multiple titles has been swept, according to STATS LLC. The last was the 1996 Houston Rockets.
Dallas will host either Oklahoma City or Memphis in the conference finals. The next round likely won't start before next Sunday, a layoff
that could pay huge dividends for a roster filled with players in their 30s.
Mavericks fans were going bonkers all afternoon, thrilled by the mere chance of a sweep. Once it became obvious, they still celebrated wildly.
But when the game ended, confetti didn't fall, symbolic of the organization's bigger goal of reaching the finals and winning its first championship.

MORNING BREW
Shane Mosley should retire
Shane Mosley should hang up his gloves for good and find some pillow where he can rest his battered brain.
I can understand if you, the readers, didn't cough up $55 for Manny Pacquiao v. Shane Mosley. It had the hype of an epic fight, but something about the name "Mosley" doesn't have that "Mayweather Jr." ring to it.
Speaking of rings, on Saturday night, Mosley didn't belong in one.
On Saturday night, his nickname,
"Sugar," was still inscribed on the front
of his black shorts with golden trim.
But it couldn't have been the same
Mosley. It must have been a washed
up exoskeleton of the fighter who once
took risks to reach the top.
This is the same boxer who, on June 17, 2000, battled and beat Oscar "Golden Boy" De La Hoya with a 12 round, split decision victory. Both fighters' faces swelled like inflating balloons. Blood seeped from De La Hoya's nose for several rounds. It was the kind of fight that made you think Mosley, with agility and a hammer for a right hook, could take on anyone in the world.
In the third round, Pacquiao jabbed his right hand to mask a mighty, straight left hand on Mosley's left eye. After the punch, Mosley's left leg
BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com
shook like an unbalanced stilt before he collapsed to the canvas surface.
After the knockdown, Mosley just ran away scared. He didn't want to drop again, so he pranced around the ring for the next nine rounds and took nothing more than occasional, conservative shots at Pacquiao.
THE MORNING BREW
Some say, despite his landslide victory in the judges' cards, Pacquiao wasn't at his best. I say he had never had a chance. Mosley never gave him a fight, so he couldn't prove his power.
Referee Kenny Bayless actually awarded Mosley a knockdown in round 10, but the replay showed it was a push.
Now I'm not saying that Mosley, about an 8-1 underdog, had to win this fight. I would never expect a 39-year-old Mosley to even earn a draw against Pacquiao, today's best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
But to never even try? Mosley's actions were cowardly.
You don't walk to the ring with LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" blaring from the MGM Grand speakers, with LL Cool J in shades right next to you, unless you're ready to fight.
You don't tap gloves with Pacquiao before and after every round, like he's your buddy. After the fight, you can hold his hand if he'll let you. But during the fight, don't act like you're going fishing with Pacquiao next weekend.
If you're Mosley, you don't fight again. Grab a walker and go shopping.

Royals lose first home series to A's
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kevin Kouzmanoff and Kurt Suzuki each homered for the Oakland Athletics and Conor Jackson collected three hits to help Tyson Ross win his first game in four starts Sunday, 5-2 over the Kansas City Royals.
Ross (2-2), who moved into the rotation last month when Dallas Braden went on the disabled list, went six innings and gave up two runs on six hits, with three walks and four strike-outs. He has not allowed a home run in 28 2-3 innings.
Brian Fuentes pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save in 11 opportunities.
Third baseman Wilson Betemit's throwing error let
Coco Crisp reach base to start the game, and Daric Barton followed with a double. Jackson's RBI single made it 1-0 and then Josh Willingham brought Barton home with a fielder's choice grounder.
Kevin Kouzmanoff's home run off winless starter Jeff Francis with two out in the sixth put the A's on top 3-0. Suzuki added a solo shot in the ninth off Louis Coleman.
Francis (0-4) was charged with three runs on eight hits in 6 1-3 innings. He walked one and struck out one.
Ross took a 3-0 shutout into the sixth but got in trouble with a throwing error when he tried to scoop Melky Cabrera's infield single to first.
and scored on Eric Hosmer's two-out double, the rookie first baseman's first major league RBI. Wilson Betemit walked and then, in a bang-bang play, Hosmer raced home on a single by Mitch Maier and scored a split-second before Betemit was tagged out at second on a strong throw from right fielder David Dejesus.
Cabrera wound up on second
Reliever Blake Wood gave up a single to Mark Ellis and walked Cliff Pennington before Tim Collins came out of the bullpen and gave up an RBI single to Crisp with his first pitch in the eighth, making it 4-2.
The A's took the series two games to one. It was the first home series loss of the year for the Royals, who had three runners thrown out on the bases.

Heartbroken after tough loss
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
A ninth inning game-winning grand slam hit by Oklahoma senior outfield Ricky Eisenberg appropriately ended a crushing weekend for the Jayhawks, in which they were swept by the Sooners.
In their second to last series of the season, the Jayhawks (22-27, 9-15) needed to take at least two of three games to keep their already-slim NCAA tournament hopes alive in Norman, Okla., against the No. 10 Sooners. After nine defensive miscues led to the Jayhawks dropping their first two games, the Jayhawks were playing Sunday to simply try to protect their bid to the Big 12 Tournament.
7. 2 protect their bid to the big 12 Sunday, the Jayhawks showed toughness in a game that senior shortstop Brandon Macias said the Jayhawks' were fighting for their lives — twice clawing back from three-run deficits, only to fall short, 11-7.
"We got absolutely taken apart Friday and Saturday," coach Ritch Price said. "I'm pleased with the way we responded."

COMMENTARY
High school athlete faces tough decision
←
Bubba Starling — a moniker from a fable and a hero next door.
He might be the greatest high school athlete of all time and he goes to Gardner Edgerton High School, a 45-minute drive from Lawrence. A three-sport superman in basketball, football and baseball, who can dunk over your center, plow through your linebacker and hit your ace's fastball to lupiter.
With Starling comes the folkore: He can hit a baseball 550 feet, run a 4.3-40 yard dash and throw a football 50 yards on his knees and 80 yards on his feet.
Anyone that has seen Starling play baseball knows that his future belongs on the diamond. He is a center fielder who runs like a track champion and jumps like one of Bill Self's Jayhawks. He is a pitcher with a funky delivery who nonetheless throws 95 mph. He is a hitter who crushes the ball, or never gets an opportunity because frightened pitchers won't throw him strikes.
Amidst the riches of supernatal athletic ability, Starling has a dilemma: go to college or go pro?
Since his freshman year at Gardner, scouts of all sports have ogled Starling and translated his mythic feats into dreamlike notes.
As a quarterback, Starling has flashed an All-American arm, scrambling ability and the intangibles of a leader. Bo Pelini and Mike Anderson, Nebraska's football and baseball coaches, offered Starling the opportunity to play both sports in Lincoln.
But Ebenezer Scrooge, ahem, I mean Scott Boras, Starling's
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
agent, is convinced he can get the kid almost $10 million in a signing bonus if he opts to jump from Gardner to Major League Baseball.
But what if Starling gets hurt and ruins his future as an athlete? If he plays football at Nebraska, he's going to have ferocious Big 12 defenses attacking him on every snap.
Unless you're Starling or his parents, it's hard to say which decision will be best. It's easy to opine: "Go to college, get an education, be the big man on campus, then collect your big league paycheck after you graduate."
When you've got a guaranteed top of the first-round paycheck staring you in the eye, it can't be so easy to put pro sports on hold.
No matter what Starling crosses, here's hoping he isn't the next big flop. Here's hoping, someday, that he is the future of some big league club.
And if you don't believe the hype, go see him play Tuesday or Thursday at 5 p.m. against Blue Valley West in Stillwell. You just might catch a glimpse of the best there ever was before the world now knows about him.

RELIEF
KU group to aid tornado victims
BY ALEXGARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Aaron White reckons he's part of a group apt to volunteer in tornado-ravaged Alabama — storm chasers.
"Anybody can help out," he said. "We just feel a kind of connection — we forecast the weather, so maybe we should try to help out when it goes bad."
White and about a dozen others in the atmospheric science department are in the midst of fundraising for a trip to Tuscaloosa, Ala., a town still reeling from an April 27 record-breaking tornado system that killed at least 41 people and injured hundreds more, according the Associated Press. Members of the KU chapter of the American Meteorological Society say they plan to make the almost 800 mile trip on May 23.
David Huber, a graduate student from Lee's Summit, Mo., has been one of the major organizers of the fundraiser, which he says has netted about $750 so far. The group hopes to raise $2,000 in all for travel expenses and then to give any extra to Samaritan's Purse, a religious not-for-profit that has been helping in the massive cleanup efforts throughout the south.
"We're very happy to help and happy that the people down there are happy for us to help," he said.
Many in the town, the home of the University of Alabama, are still without fresh water, food and clean clothes. In addition to providing and distributing these supplies, Huber said the group plans on helping with clearing roadways and homes of debris.
Students wanting to donate can find more information on the Facebook group http://on.fb.me/jfCjOE or at their tabling events, including one in front of Wescoe Hall this Thursday afternoon.

CRIME
Police look for suspect in McCollum battery case
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
Police are still looking for the suspect of an aggravated battery that occurred early Sunday morning in McCollum Hall, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey from KU Public Safety.
A McCollum Hall resident received a puncture wound to his left bicep from an unknown male he allowed into his room around 5 a.m. Sunday. The student was released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he was treated for minor injuries, Bailey said.
The KU Public Safety Office described the suspect as being a white, 6-foot-tall male wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and a dark-colored ball cap.
Anyone with information about the identity of this suspect is advised to call KU Crime Stoppers at (785) 864-8888 or the KU Public Safety Office at (785) 864-5900.
Student-athletes don’t always find value in their education and end up leaving college without a degree, without a professional contract, and without a future.
Coming to the University of Kansas on a full-ride athletic scholarship, Darrell Stuckey had two goals — get a college degree and play well enough to make it to the NFL.
After five years, he fulfilled his dreams. He became the first in his family to earn a degree, served in Student Senate, starred as safety on the 2008 Orange Bowl championship team and signed a $2.4 million contract to play for the San Diego Chargers. While enrolled at Kansas, he carefully budgeted what he received from his scholarship and low income Pell Grant so he could send money home.
Shelton Simmons transferred to Kansas from a junior college hoping that being cornerback in the tough Big 12 game gave him his best shot at professional football. He liked the higher value shipment in Division I football—his equipment, medical equipment, and training attracted in school and university and Simmons that fill stadiums and arenas, attract huge television contracts and national audiences, and bring in millions of dollars to Kansas Athletics and other major programs. Yet, a relatively small portion of that income goes to athletes in the form of full-ride scholarships, room and board, and academic support.
Stuckey is among the lucky two percent of college football players who earn a paycheck for playing football. Simmons ended up joining the many players who never achieve the college degree that represents the only compensation they will ever receive for their athletic skills. Only slightly more than half of the football players in Simmons’ KU class earned their degrees.
That disparity has critics arguing that the NCAA should loosen its rules to allow Division I athletes in revenue sports to receive cash stipends or a cut of their school’s sale of athletic memorabilia to provide spending money, clothing, or even financial help for needy families at home. Adding fuel to the fire were stories this year about Ohio State football players selling jerseys and other equipment for cash and an NCAA investigation into the allegation that quarterback Cam Newton was paid to enroll at future national champion Auburn.
Meanwhile, the NCAA stands firm in its insistence that student-athletes are amateurs, and the value of the opportunity to earn a degree from the some of the best universities is immeasurable.
Just like the games they play, the stories of Stuckey and Simmons show the different paths that student-athletes take: Some are winners. Many are losers.

Official in ticket scandal settles with department
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Former associate athletics director Ben Kirtland agreed to pay the department $63,000 in restitution for his part in the $2 million ticket-stealing scandal before he was prosecuted by the federal government, according to documents obtained by The Kansan on Monday.
Kirtland entered a private civil settlement with Kansas Athletics in October, agreeing to pay half within thirty

days of the agreement and the rest by January 31. The federal prosecution's investigation for conspiracy to commit wire fraud against him and four other former athletics employees began in November. All have been convicted and sentenced, except for Kirtland, who is set to be sentenced on Thursday.
Jim Cross, a spokesman for the prosecutors, said the federal government has no involvement in the settlement and does not know if the money has in fact been paid. He also said it may or may not
affect Kirtland's sentencing — it's up to the judge. The charge carries up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Other co-conspirators — former athletics employees Kassie Liebsch, Rodney Jones and Charlette and Tom Blubaugh
— have received sentences ranging from 37 to 57 months, and ordered to pay thousands of dollars in restitution to the IRS and Kansas Athletics.
Cross confirmed that Jones has been sentenced to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution but on Friday requested an extra 30 days before he begins serving his time at a minimum-security camp in El Reno, Okla. The judge denied the delay request without comment.

THE ROLE MODEL, THE RARITY
During his final season as a high school football player, future Kansas star Darrrell Stuckey's mother was laid off from her job at Sprint in Kansas City where she had worked the entirety of Darrell's life. She had five children to provide for. Her ex-husband, who was in prison on sexual assault charges, offered no support.
That final year, Darrell would leave his high school football practices early to help his mother at home. He said she taught him everything, from his work ethic to how he relates with people. From a young age, she instilled in Darrell the importance of education. So when Darrell Stuckey was offered a scholarship to play football, he knew it wasn't just about sports.
"I wasn't going to be in school four years and not get a degree," Stuckey said.
As an 18-year-old standout football player at Washington High School, Stuckey knew he had the talent to make it in Division I football and beyond. But with his mom recently laid off, he had no financial support from her. He had just become the man of the house and was about to leave for college. He felt an obligation to help support his family and thought football would be the best way.
His athletic scholarship covered tuition; food; room and board; and any counseling, tutoring or career advice he could ever need. Because of his family's financial need, he was also eligible for a federal Pell Grant that provided a $260 monthly stipend for living expenses, half of which he dutifully sent home to his mother to
help her pay bills.
"I would be lucky to break even," Stuckey said.
It wasn't much, but he said it was fair. The Pell Grant money was capped at a set amount the government could contribute beyond a scholarship.
"It's a way to get reimbursed," Stuckey said. "The NCAA can't do it, but the federal government can."
Even with the Pell Grant, Stuckey had to budget each month down to the penny.
Extra KU assistance funds provided help in other forms. One provided Stuckey with $500 to spend on new clothes. Stuckey appreciated it because he knew his body would be changing since high school players tend to bulk up when they play Division I football. He bought new clothes and the University reimbursed him, after making sure they were for him and not to be sent or sold to somebody else.
Stuckey said with the scholarship, Pell Grant and extra assistance, the University had found a way to make him financially comfortable. He said all football players should feel grateful playing for Kansas, a program that made, after expenses, more than $1.8 million in 2010.
"It's a selfish desire to say revenue sports deserve payments," Stuckey said, arguing that Title IX was put in place for a reason and that women on non-revenue teams desire just as much financial help as any football player or male basketball player. Revenue sports also finance teams that don't bring in money, he said.
Stuckey was a star player on the 2008 Orange Bowl team that earned his coach, Mark Mangino, a pay raise from his base salary to
$2,270,584, exceeding the combined salaries of then Athletic Director Lew Perkins and basketball coach Bill Self. Stuckey never complained about coaches' salaries, and still doesn't, despite being one of the most recognizable stars on a team that brought in the income.
Stuckey was the star in his mom's eyes. She came to every one of his home games. Stuckey felt guilty because he knew she couldn't afford it. He knew his mother was struggling financially at home, and he hated it. But as a man, especially as a man in a revenue sport, he thought he could help her.
Despite knowing by his junior year he had a chance to play in the NFL, he worked hard in class, earning a degree in communications. He is just three hours away from a double major in African-American studies.
"Every kid dreams to be successful and to not have to struggle anymore," Stuckey said. "So when you go to college and you win a national championship, or a bowl game, or become an All-American, you feel like you've accomplished everything that you wanted at the college level, regardless of academics."
He complains that African-American athletes are stereotyped as poor students. "They're the ones who come from a broken home," he said, "or they don't care because they are just trying to get through so they can move on."
He says NCAA rules offer all athletes the same opportunities.
"I feel like the NCAA does a great thing," he said. "Some would say it's the least they can do, but nothing is perfect. And it does work in the way it is done now."
In 2010, Darrell Stuckey was drafted in the fourth round by the
San Diego Chargers. He signed a 4 year contract that will be worth $2.4 million at the end of the four years. The average rookie salary in the NFL is $325,000, and he earned $380,000. He has achieved his dreams while also reaching his goal, to provide for his family.
"Your parents raise you because you can't help yourself," Stuckey said. "And you're supposed to help them when they can't help themselves."
He continues to send money to his mother, only now it is considerably more than the little he could afford from his Pell Grant. He says it is his way to thank her for instilling in him the importance of an education.
His careful budgeting of modest funds got him and his mother through his five years of college. His effort on the field and in class will provide him a future he once could only dream about. Now, with an NFL lockout looming, Stuckey has been practicing on his old Lawrence stomping grounds with some of his old teammates.
Stuckey has been training and mentoring Chris Harris, the free safety who replaced Stuckey. Harris is currently ranked the 28th best free safety coming out of college according to NFLDraftScout.com. Realistically; it is not a ranking that guarantees anything in the NFL, so Harris has learned from Stuckey how to prepare physically for the NFL training camps while also being ready for an alternate future.
According to Harris, Stuckey told him when picking out an agent, "Find the one who wants you to stay in school. Find the one that's big on education."

Finding security after tragedy
ate in February, Thomas Robinson, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward for the men's basketball team, towered over the media in the hall connecting the locker room to James Naismith Court of Allen Field House. He held his blue and white Adidas shoes and smiled at questions reporters asked him.
When asked if he talked to his 7-year-old sister Jayla every day, he laughed and said yes, adding that she had told him she got her first valentine.
Robinson has heard arguments about athletes wanting to be paid.
By the end of the season, after the sudden death of his mother, the questions about his sister began addressing life changing issues. Should he leave Kansas for the NBA? What would be best for his sister? What next? Another year at Kansas or an ESPN-projected 23rd pick in the NBA draft? Which would be better for his family? Big questions for a 19-year old, especially one who lost his mother and grandmother in the period of three weeks earlier in the season.
"I feel that we definitely more than taken care of," Robinson said, "but it might not be that way at other schools"
And he has a point. Kansas is one of the few schools that earns more revenue than its expenses. Still, some coaches, including Self, think that in a case like Robinson's, the NCAA should make further strides in its effort to accommodate student-athletes with extreme need, seeing that they do not get any of the revenue that keeps Kansas Athletics in the black.
"I do think there are certain situations where it would be nice for individuals such as Thomas, who have absolutely zero source of financial support other than what the federal government would give him through the Pell Grant that there could be some adjustments made where you could appeal to receive some sort of benefit or financial assistance." Self said.
The NCAA did allow the University to cover expenses for Robinson and his teammates to fly to his mother's funeral, but, there is no assistance from the NCAA beyond that.
Even so, Robinson ultimately decided to
"There is no help after the immediate deal," Self said.
stay another year at Kansas. What that says about the support he receives from Kansas Athletics and the community around the University speaks to itself.
Thomas Robinson comforts his younger sister Jayla. Robinson has found comfort in the KU community after losing his main source of economic and emotional stability. He says he feels "more than taken care of" by Kansas Athletics and the Lawrence community.

THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE
Originally from Myrtle Beach, S.C., Shelton Simmons decided to move farther away from his family to chase his dreams: to play for a Big 12 school and make it to the NFL. Playing for Kansas against teams like Texas and Oklahoma would give him a better chance to go pro than playing at Eastern Carolina, which also offered him a full-ride scholarship. He transferred to Kansas as a junior in 2003 after spending two years playing free safety for the junior college national champion, Georgia Military College.
At the Georgia Military College, life was structured and disciplined He would wake up at 7 a.m. a.m., march for an hour, go to class from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and then practice football from 3:30 p.m. through 5:30 p.m. He wasn't given much besides food and a bed. He was shocked with what was handed to him when he arrived at Kansas.
"When I came here, I didn't know
I was going to get paid," Sim n on s said about his full scholarship.
He said the money for books and additional expenses at Kansas exceeded the basic needs the junior college provided. His
"I had it good. I can't complain," he said.
"When I came here, I didn't know I was going to get paid."
Simmons was the youngest of a family of 12, and his nine older brothers were the only people in his life who could manage to send him some financial support. It wasn't much.
appreciation for everything Kansas offered him still lasts to this day.
"We were just thinking about all this hard work we were putting in, and all we were getting in return was tuition and room and board," Simmons said. "But you live and you learn. I'm 30-years-old and I'd kill to go back to college and live again."
The only thing that stressed his personal budget was when 9 p.m. rolled around and he wanted a snack of Little Debbie's desserts from the supermarket. The leftover money from his scholarship provided him enough pocket money to cover small expenses, but not much else.
During the 2003 season, he played in all 13 games and started in three of them. Simmons would joke with his teammates that they deserved extra money for all the work they did for football.
Today, working 3 to 11 p.m. six days a week at a Lawrence convenience store for a minimum wage, Simmons doesn't have any economic stability. Nor does he have time to fulfill the ever-present inner itch to play football.
SHELTON SIMMONS Former KU football player
Simmons has played for Topeka's arena football team, the Kansas Koyotes, for four years. His lean body still makes him look like a football player. But football is soon to be gone. He doesn't see himself playing for the Koyotes after this season, especially making next to nothing playing for them. It's too hard to schedule
"You are always going to have that itch," Simmons said. "You go to bed at night sometimes thinking about it like, 'What if I would've run this drill extra hard, maybe I wouldn't be in this position I'm in right now.'"
He experienced some culture shock coming to a university environment much less structured than a military school and being far from his family.
He lost focus. School came second to football for Simmons. "I just wanted to play ball."
His dream of playing in the NFL had disappeared.
Simmons
His free time began to fill with parties and socializing in place of early morning marching and 8 hours of class and studying.
On the field, a growing list of injuries his senior season, such as pulled hamstrings and groins, kept him out of practice and, eventually, off the playing field. The inactivity made him more homesick.
"I think during the times like that are when you need family," Simmons said. "You can call them but it's not the same as someone right there telling me that everything was going to be all right."

"They may get their wish after all" he said.
PAY FOR PLAY
The year after Darrell Stuckey and the lajawhaws won the 2008 BCS Orange Bowl, his coach, Mark Mangimo, gave a raise that made him the highest paid employee of Kansas Athletics.
Stuckey didn't see any pay raise.
For fiscal year 2008, Kansas Athletics brought in $35.2 million from admissions to athletic events, television and merchandise sold. Neither Stuckey, nor any of the other athletes that fans paid to see, received a cut of that money directly.
Critics complain about the inequity between the money universities and the NCAA gain and the amount spent on the athletes who attract fans and TV money.
Daren Rovell, CNBC's sports business reporter, says the NCAA is taking advantage of players. He says revenue-generating athletes deserve at least a cost-of-living stipend worth $2,000 to $3,000 per year provided by their university or the NCAA because of the time they invest and money they earn for their universities.
In 2008, Kansas Athletics earned $101,348 in gross sales from basketballs autographed by the NCAA National Championship team. The players who signed the balls wouldn't see a cent from those sales.
He argues one way to further compensate athletes is to give them a portion of what is sold that has a direct connection to them, such as a jersey or a signature.
Student athletics from needy families can potentially receive even more than Rovell's proposed cost-of-living stipend from Pell Grants, which were capped at $5,100 per year in 2011.
"The value of the education for the one percent of guys who are producing revenue is not enough." Rovell said.
However, Pell Grants are need based and only 43 out of 122 Kansas football players currently receive Pell Grants. Seventeen out of 34 men's and
Kansas' Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund, which totaled $262,789 for 2010-11, comes from the NCAA and the Big 12 and can be spent for travel home in case of family emergencies. Two other Kansas sources, the Margin of Excellence Fund and the Unparalleled Excellence Grant, are distributed to men's and women's sports for needs they have outside their budgeted funds, including travel and equipment.
Kansas' total grants and other assistance in aid totaled more than $8.7 million for 2010.
The NCAA has loosened the rules to allow universities to create other funds for special needs of players from poor backgrounds.
women's basketball players get them this year.
Sitting in her office, Theresa Becker, KU associate athletic director of compliance, can look out wall-sized windows at the Burge Union where student-athletes get one free meal a day. Across the street are Jayhawker Towers, the living quarters for many KU student-athletes.
EVOLUTION OF "AMATEUR"
From her desk she can watch athletes enter and leave her building where Kansas Athletics offers them free computers, tutoring, rehabilitation services, and career counseling. Her job is to make sure none of these benefits go beyond what the NCAA deems as amateur, and into the imprecise world of professionalism,
where players receive extra benefits
She went straight to Becker's office and asked, "Coach Becker what do I do with this? Will you take care of it for me? Will you put me on a weekly allowance?"
Becker said the NCAA has made strides to be sensitive to the needs of student-athletes.
The student was mature enough to recognize what her temptations would be, so Becker took her to a bank to learn how to manage the money afforded her at school.
"The NCAA recognized that there are kids on full scholarships who are training and going to school full time, and don't really have an opportunity for employment," Becker said. "They don't come from backgrounds where they have parents or family supporting them."
Despite the recent efforts by the NCAA to accommodate needy athletes, she would still like to see more done.
"In her whole 19 years of living, she had never had, even collectively, $2,500." Becker said.
When one young woman on her team received her first Pell Grant, it came in the form of a $2,500 check.
As a onetime women's basketball coach at Iowa State University, she has seen the positive effect legal benefits can have on a young adult coming from a poor background.
In her mind, if athletes were given some compensation, it would provide a valuable opportunity for the Uni-
Paul Bushirk, associate athletics director for student support for Kansas Athletics, whose student support unit provides degree and career counseling, a strategic tutoring program and life skills education, has witnessed the success, on and off the court, of the talented players Self has recruited. Despite the talent and a list of players who left early for the NBA, the graduation rate for his players is one of the top in the nation.
Today's NCAA rules, fair or not,
declare that the moment a student-
athlete receives extra benefits or
payment for athletic skills, their status
as an amateur — and eligibility — is
terminated.
While basketball coach Bill Self says it would be virtually impossible to pay just one group of athletes a salary, he advocates that programs emphasize being paid what all scholarships should lead to — a degree.
"It is a product of Bill Self," Buskirk said. "The types of students he's recruited, the types of students he wants to represent our program, it's been extraordinary."
Buskirk and his staff work with Self and each of his players year round to help ensure the numbers stay high enough to serve as a model for other athletic programs.
versity to instruct young people on how to responsibly manage money. Similar to their career counseling, advisers could teach athletes how to invest, save, and build a foundation for economic stability.
Academic success comes at a cost.
Because of the costs per athlete, Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletics director, says athletes are already being paid simply because of the value of their scholarships.
"I think the notion that student-athletes don't get paid is false," said Marchiony, who spent 18 years with the NCAA before coming to Kansas in 2003.
and academic spending keeps rising.
"The definition of an amateur is changing, year to year, decade to decade," Marchiony said. "It's not changing for the better or for the worse. It's just changing."
All too often, players leave college early for what they believe will be a long career in the pros. That's why former KU football player Joseph Vaughn left after only two years for a shot at the NFL.
FALL BACK PLAN
Vaughn garnered a spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team and was named KU Offensive MVP in 2004.
"I't hard when every day you're wanting that car or those shoes but your family can't afford it." Vaughn said. "The quickest way you get that is to go play two or three years at a college and go make that six figure money"

Vaughn didn't make it in the NFL. He tried out for the Chicago Bears where coach Lovie Smith told him he was two inches away from a million dollars. He was too short. He tried out for the Buffalo Bills, only to suffer the same fate.

So he returned to the University to finish his degree in applied behavioral science in 2005, meanwhile landing a job with Kansas Football as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. The University has since developed a program that welcomes former student-athletes to come back by providing financial aid to finish their degrees.
"I have a degree, so I have a job, some stability," Vaughn said. "When you get a scholarship, you're getting some stability."
He doesn't think paying athletes in college gives them that stability. He said if you start paying them above what they're already getting, they're just going to start wanting more.
MAKING THE GRADE
"Kids always want more," he said.
Using an equation they call the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the NCAA measures academic success, graduation rates and rates of retention (whether students-athletes are eligible semester after semester). If a university reaches a 925 APR, it approximates that they are graduating, or are on track to graduate, at least 50 percent of their student athletes
The NCAA is trying to stress the importance of earning a degree by measuring progress at each of its universities.
If a university falls below 925, they are subject to sanctions by the
NCAA. The APR doesn't include one-and-done athletes or athletes who transfer to another university in good academic standing.
This year, the Knight Commission proposed strict penalties for schools that do not graduate 50 percent of their athletes: a ban from postseason play. Their mission has received backing from Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education.
More startling to Duncan and the Knight Commission, $179 million, or 44 percent, of the $409 million the NCAA awarded teams for success in the past five tournaments was earned by teams graduating fewer than half of their players.
The commission released its proposal before this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, based on the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports' investigation into each of the 68 teams playing in the tournament. Using the APR numbers for each of the 68 teams, the institute said 10 would have been ineligible for the tournament under the benchmark recommended by the Knight Commission and backed by Duncan, including Alabama State, Kansas State, Purdue, San Diego State, and Missouri.
"We need a more sensible balance of athletic and academic priorities," Duncan said about the Knight Commission's graduation proposal.
Kansas basketball recorded an APR of 1000 based on KU's 67 percent graduation rates for African-American players and a 100 percent
The discrepancy between black and white graduation rates was common among most of the schools in the 2011 tournament. Kansas State, among the worst, has a graduation rate of 100 percent for white basketball players, and only 14 percent for black players. Butler, which advanced to the championship game, is graduating 83 percent of all basketball players, but only 50 percent of black athletes.
He said it doesn't matter if the school was rich or poor, black or white, rural or urban. It is the coaching, the leadership, that is instrumental in teaching young athletes values that will benefit their lives beyond the basketball court, he said.
The lower graduation rate for black athletes concerns Ben Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"The only thing these schools have in common, when you look at the schools that are failing, is a lack of leadership from the coach," jealous said.
"It is incomprehensible why we let these things continue," Education Secretary Duncan concluded after seeing the report.
graduation rate for white players. The total graduation rate for all student-athletes on scholarship at Kansas was 77 percent according to the institute's report.

Defying gym etiquette is quite normal at the Rec Center
CULTURE
It's unarguably the best job on campus: gym attendant at the Rec. I've seen things at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center that have made me confused, surprised, speechless, loco, and bewildered at the same time. These things and their accompanying emotions have put me in differing, equally frustrating degrees of SMH (shaking my head).
I've seen chorus lines of men curling their biceps rhythmically in standing, seated, and prone positions. They grunt with each other in harmony and always in time. Their muses, the women on the floor doing sit-ups, strain to pull on their necks and add as many variations on their legs as the Earth's current gravitational pull accommodates. I've realized from these women that Nike Tempo shorts in gray are the least helpful in hiding buttcrack sweat.

I see men who work a pectorals split

on Monday, return on Wednesday to do pectorals, and then come back on Friday to touch up their pectorals.
Benches knocked sideways, bloody noses, someone pulling her arm out on the TRX machine and then opening her mouth to scream silently. Gallons of water murky with protein powder shoved to the side, slammed over while their owners max out on Romanian deadlift.
I've seen Jerry Moran walk around
the pulley contraptions, frowning, pulling at his clothes like he's never worn a tank top and cloth shorts before.
I've seen those whose arms are so large that they can't cross their arms; I fear for their wiping abilities or lack thereof.
I've seen the most delicate of humans, rosy cheeks and soft sloping shoulders, snarl and stomp while gangsta rap leaks out of their iPod ear buds. Do they even know what the literal definition of the "F" word is? In between sets they shake their iwands, close their eyes, and mouth the words out of their tiny, pink lips. It's hard for me to yield respect when I'm not sure if they've been weaned from breastfeeding yet.
I've seen people with hulking shoulders, deltoids rippling into their respective thirds, and defined brachioradialuses but have calves as delicate and thin as a porcelain vase.
I've seen individuals do 50 lat pulldowns as quickly as they can, look around and repeat.
Regularly are there people doing bent-over rows on the squat rack. And I ask myself, are they unaware that they are defying gym etiquette by using the most sought-after piece of equipment in lieu of using an equivalent, yet less glamorous barbell found elsewhere? Or are they just being jerks?
These are the people who can drive me from SMH to PMF (pounding my fist) or SMF (slapping my face) and eventually to C (crying). But that's of no consequence to the patrons of the gym, and the less you mind these observations, the better. If you come to the Recreation Center, you may get made fun of, but you will be in good company.

Letter to the Editor
Online dating is much more chivalrous than some think
In regards to the article written Monday on chivalry I was excited to see the title, "Chivalry should take a cue from the animal kingdom." After all, I suspect many girls like to see someone taking a stand for something other than a guy buying her a drink and thinking that's the golden ticket into her pants. But, upon reading further into the article, I was apalled to find that the author listed online dating as WORSE than dating resulting from alcohol and also worse than "hooking up." Really? I realize online dating is a bit taboo to some but is it less romantic and chivalrous than a drunk hookup after an evening at the bar?
My boyfriend and I met online. We're both attractive, outgoing people with plenty of friends somehow we both ended up having online profiles. The author's disgust with the "sad fact" that many students who attend KU with 30,000 other people have online profiles is ignorant. Is it
really that awful to open up your options to people you may not have met otherwise? He and I attended the same high school and had mutual friends but never met until we found each on an online dating site. It just goes to show that people slip through the cracks of our everyday lives. And, I might point out, the excitement and mystery of getting to know someone before meeting them in real life is closer to chivalry than meeting someone at a bar will ever be. He and I had a chemistry before either of us could really judge on appearance. Maybe we started out as just two online profiles outlining our nerdy ways and our love of cats and KU but it became so much more than that. Chivalry isn't dead and sometimes that chemistry, excitement and passion can start on the internet.

FILM
Summer brings the heat with sizzling cinema flicks for any and all tastes
Well, the school year is winding down and finals week is coming up,
so I know what you're all thinking about: summer movies! The sheer number of movies coming out makes the prospect of watching blockbusters daunting, especially with the record-number of sequels coming out. Even if you were to only limit yourself to seeing superhero movies, you would still have to choose between "Green Lantern", "Thor", and approximately 62 other comic book movies scheduled for release. Don't worry, though, because I'm here to guide you through the torrid waters of summer films.
If you are desperately looking for a Mel Gibson redemption vehicle (and who isn't?!), then make sure you catch "The Beaver" (May 6, limited). It tells the story of Walter, a man with psychiatric problems who uses a beaver puppet to overcome his anxieties and win back the love of his friends and colleagues. It's just like real life, except we all still hate him.
BY LOU SCHUMAKER
lschumaker@kansan.com
MAY
If you loved "The Hangover" and want to watch basically the same movie again, don't miss "The Hangover Part II" (May 26). It looks OK, I guess, but I'm waiting for "The Hangover Part III" where, after celebrating something in a wild city, they wake up next to an exotic animal and something is wrong with Ed Helms's face. Hilarious!
Looking forward to "Bridesmaids" (May 6)? I suggest going back in time to catch the free screening in woodruff auditorium on April 25th. You'll be so impressed with Kristen Wiig's performance, you won't want be able to wait to watch/be disappointed by her on SNL!
JUNE
"Beautiful Boy" (June 3, limited) tells the story of the parents of a young man responsible for shooting up a school and then taking his own life — jeez, that's really depressing. Uh, go see "X-Men: First Class" (June 3) instead. It's about super-heroes and they fight people!
"Super 8" (June 10) from J.J. Abrams promises to be one of the better block-busters this summer. It's the story of a young boy, his first crush, and a military train that explodes outside of a small town. The teaser trailer shows something bashing its way out of train car. What could it be: An alien? A monster? The Kool-Aid man? The only way to find out is to see it or wait until the day after it comes out to read on Wikipedia! My guess: J.J. Abrams will make a lot of money.
JULY
Do you like brutally incomprehensible sible fight scenes in movies that are way too long? Then you can't miss
"Transformers" Dark of the Moon"! It promises to be such an assault on your senses that you'll feel like you really are in a city being torn apart by alien robots!
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (July 15) tells the story of—ah, who am I kidding, you all already know what happens.
"Cowboys & Aliens" (July 29) promises to answer the age-old question. "What would the old west have been like if aliens attacked?" The answer: "explosions!"
Finally, to finish off the summer, we have "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (August 5) which takes place in a fantastic, unreal world where James Franco is could be a scientist.

Vieira leaves and Lauer stays
Asked about rumors that he'd talked with his former "Today" co-anchor Katie
NEW YORK — During a press conference held by NBC News at 30 Rockefeller Plaza on Monday, following the announcement that Meredith Vieira will be leaving the "Today" show, her co-anchor Matt Lauer dismissed rumors that he will soon be following Vieira out the door. "I have a long-term deal with NBC," said Lauer, whose contract expires Dec. 31, 2012. "I'm gonna be here for a while."

Couric about teaming up on a future project, he confirmed that they'd discussed the possibility, but he said Couric's timetable was more accelerated than his — she will step down from her "CBS Evening News" post in June — and the negotiations just didn't work out.
"I just determined that there really wasn't a need for us to continue the conversation right now because I'm not going anywhere," he said.

Switzerland defeats United States at world championship, U.S. will now face Czech Republic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KOSICE, Slovakia — The United States lost to Switzerland 5-3 Monday at hockey's world championship, a defeat that leaves the Americans facing defending champion Czech Republic in the quarterfinals.
The U.S. had already qualified
for the playoff round. It finished fourth in Group F and now awaits the Czechs on Wednesday, Switzerland, which got two goals from Kevin Lotscher, already had been eliminated.
James van Riemsdyk scored for the Americans a day after joining the team following the Philadelphia Flyers' exit from the NHL playoffs.
"I was a little bit tired as the game went on but I'm glad to be over to represent my country," he said. "It's a quick turnaround; it's a lot of emotions. It's pretty devastating as your season ends, but then you have a chance to represent your country"
Canada, behind John Tavarres' fifth goal of the tournament, beat
Sweden 3-2 to keep a perfect record in group play. Next up for the Canadians is Thursday's quarterfinal against Russia, which eliminated Canada in the quarters at last year's worlds.
"Hopefully this year produces a better result for us," Tavares said.
David Petrasek tied it for Sweden after James Neal opened the scoring
1:08 into the game on a breakaway. Tavares gave Canada a lead again before Mattias Tedenby evened it on a power play. Rick Nash netted the winner on a power play with 7:29 left. Sweden plays Germany in Wednesday's quarterfinals.
In other games Monday, Slovakia beat Denmark 4-1, Finland edged Russia 3-2 in a shootout and the
Czech Republic topped Germany 5-2 in Group E. In Group F, France downed Norway 5-2
In Bratislava, host Slovakia rallied from one goal down to beat Denmark for a consolation victory. Jozef Stumpel, Miroslav Satan, Marian Hossa and Richard Zednik scored for Slovakia to give the home crowd something to cheer about.

MORNING BREW
Mavs on an unexpected playoff tear
No one saw it coming — at least not like this. On Sunday, the Dallas Mavericks kicked the Los Angeles Lakers off their throne atop the NBA, opening the coveted position to any of the remaining teams.
Now a train is rolling through the NBA playoffs that is going to be very tough to slow down.
---
The four-game sweep of the Lakers shifts the NBA spotlight to a Mavs team that put together an impressive regular season, finishing third in the Western conference, and appears to be putting the pieces together for an even more impressive postseason.
The Mavericks finished the regular season with an impressive record of 57-25 and had a first round matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Dallas won both Game 1 and Game 2 at home in the American Airlines Center. They then traveled to Portland and lost the following two games to the Trail Blazers by a combined total of seven points. Dallas, led by Dirk Nowitzki's 58 points combined in the next two games, took the series, setting up the showdown with Los Angeles.
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
No one thought the Mavericks would beat the Lakers in four games. Heck, no one really thought the Mavs were going to beat the Lakers in the first place. But, after being led by Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd, the Mavs found themselves taking the first two games of the series in Los Angeles, no less
The two veteran-laden teams then headed back to Dallas, where the Mavs went 29-12 in the regular season. Dallas squeaked out a six-
point victory, in which Nowitzki's 32 points put them over the top to go ahead 3-0 in the series. Then, with their foot over the Lakers' neck, Dallas, led by 32 points from Terry, did the unthinkable and completed the sweep, squashing the Lakers by nearly 30 points.
Next up for the Mavericks will be the winner of the Oklahoma City-Memphis series. Memphis, the underdogs on paper, won three of four against the Mavs in the regular season, but it's been well over a month since the two played last. The Mavericks won two games in Oklahoma City this year, and the Thunder's lone win against Dallas came on a four-point victory in the Lone Star State.
THE
MORNING
BREW
The Bulls coming out of the East would potentially provide a tough matchup for the Mavs — the Bulls beat Dallas twice by five in the regular season. The games were close though, and Dirk may be a man on a mission, especially if he gets another chance after almost missing out on a ring in '06 when Dallas lost to the Miami Heat.
The six game series was a close one three of the Heat's four wins came by three points or less. The potential revenge matchup could have fans drooling in excitement—or disgust. Both the Mavs and the Heat are two of the more disliked teams in the NBA, but with names like Wade, Kidd, James, Nowitzki, Bosh and Cuban, of course, there would surely be plenty of gunpowder just waiting to be lit.
This season, Dallas beat Miami both times in the two games they played. The playoffs, however, are a completely different story from the regular season.
Maybe the Heat will romp through the playoffs and take their seat atop the world's best, or maybe Derek Rose will carry the Bulls to the league's pinnacle.
Or maybe, just maybe, Mark Cuban will finally get his turn to sit on the throne and be crowned NBA champion.

Former pitcher, pole vaulter to Hall of Fame
INDUCTED
Pole vaulter Amy Linnen and pitcher Don Czyz will be inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame this fall. Linnen and Czyz were each named All-Americans during their careers.
BY GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Two former Kansas All Americans, pole vaulter Amy Linnen and pitcher Don Czyz, will be inducted into the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame during Homecoming Weekend next fall.
Linnen competed for the bulk of her career at the University of Arizona, but transferred to the University of Kansas for her senior season. Although she was in Lawrence for only one year, Linnen's accomplishments as a Jayhawk warranted her induction into the Hall of Fame. She was named an All-American in the pole vault as a Jayhawk in both the indoor and outdoor seasons
Linnen
in 2005 and
Czyz
in 2005 and win the indoor national championship that same season. Her top height of 4.30 meters is still a Kansas record.
Linnen earned the distinction of Female Jayhawk of the Year in 2005, and she graduated that spring with a degree in communications.
"When you have someone like Amy come into our program like she did, it elevates everyone
associated with that program," said assistant coach Tom Hayns in a press release. "She is a quality person and has done everything the right way."
Czyz played four seasons for Kansas, from 2003-2006. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named him a first team All-American after his senior campaign in 2006. He earned two All-Big 12 honors and won the NCBWA's Stopper of the Year award in 2006.
His best season was his senior year in 2006. He set the school single-season record with 19 saves, which helped spur Kansas to its first conference title in almost 50 years. He posted a 6-0 record, boasted a 1.56 ERA and allowed only 11 earned runs in
63 1/3 innings in 2006.
Czyz ended his Jayhawk career with multiple school records. He holds the school single season and career appearances record with 37 and 128, respectively, and also holds the school career saves record with 31.
The Florida Marlins selected Czyz with a seventh round selection in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. Czyz spent three seasons pitching in their system.
"I am thrilled for Don," coach Ritch Price said in the press release. "He was not only an All-American performer on the field, but an All-American student-athlete as well."

COMMENTARY
Reflecting on mistakes, memories and meaning
M. GUILARDE
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
thibodeaux@kansan.com
He thought his two years at the University of Kansas would be defined by all the people he let down.
The most important things in a man's life — family, friends, significant others — were thrown to the wayside so he could make a name for himself.
Instead, there are piles of point less papers. From the top of the dresser to the insides of drawers and shoeboxes, there are enough sheets of paper to recreate a forest. At one point, these were very
His desk and its drawers aren't filled with cards from the father or great-grandmother who never got to see him. And there are no pictures or memorabilia of any loved one. Those were trashed or packaged long ago.
important documents. As he looks at them today, they hold no meaning.
"No. 04 Collins, Sherron, g:
5/7 ... 1/1 ... 5 ... 12 ... 2"
That was Sherron's stat line from the game against Memphis last year. The box score doesn't talk about how he came back from an injury to heroically lead Kansas to a 57-55 victory. That was a fun night. The story had to be done in 15 minutes after the press conference.
Nothing will ever have the same surreal sentiment as getting hired as the men's basketball beat writer the first time he stepped on the University's campus. The chills he received from stepping onto the Allen Fieldhouse floor at the 2009 Late Night in the Phog remain unrivaled to this day, and it never got old. And though the heartbroken locker room after a second round loss to Northern
After each game, Kansas Athletics gave him access to pages upon pages of notes and stats needed to write his story. Those stories were written and filed ages ago, or at least that's how it seems. He has every box score and press pass, but they will never hold the same value.
Those were the days.
Iowa isn't a fond memory, it was a valuable lesson: seize the opportunity when you have the chance.
One day, it might be gone.
Now what? At age 21, he has experienced more than some people do in a lifetime: the Lakers' locker room at the Staples Center, Dick Vitale telling his life story at Washburn University, an interview with his idol, Jason Mraz, during an impromptu visit to campus.
He thumbs through his press passes to recall all the places he has been: L.A., Dallas, Philly. He opens his laptop. Some people collect sand from the places they visit. He collects Wi-Fi connections.
There just wasn't anyone to share it with. At least he was having fun.
He is less than two weeks away from graduating and all this regret consumes him. While he was having fun interviewing NBA players, his best friend broke off his engagement with the love of his life. His grandfather was constantly in and out of the hospital because of health complications. His family, who lived only 40 minutes away, wondered when they were going to see him next.
On Sunday, he forgot it was Mother's Day. He scurried home to see his mother amid all of his last-week-of-school projects and tried to convey his sorrow for not being there for those who needed him most.
She understood. It wasn't selfishness that led him to this success, but rather the support of his home and everyone around him. It changed his whole perspective on his college career. Don't regret a thing you do here as long as you are doing it for them.
Somewhere in Lawrence there is a recycling bin in an elementary school filled to the brim with box scores and game notes.
Those people matter. These tangible artifacts of a past life don't.
I am grateful for everyone who has contributed to the greatest two years of my life
I hope that I have made you all proud.

Season ends with abrupt cancellations
The Jayhawks' regular season is now over, ending in a very abrupt manner. The doubleheader that was scheduled for Thursday, May 5 against Drake was also canceled
The softball team was slated to face UMKC today in Arrocha Ballpark, but because of scheduling conflicts between the two schools, the game has been canceled.
Even though the Jayhawks last two games were canceled, they are still hopeful that their 31-22 overall record will carry them into post-season play in the NCAA Regional Tournament. The Division I softball selection show will air on ESPNU Sunday at 10 p.m.

Dining adds on after classes
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
Construction for the 139-seat expansion to The Underground is tentatively scheduled to begin after classes let out this month, according to KU Memorial Unions officials.
David Mucci, the director of KU Memorial Unions, said the project is on track to begin shortly after commencement.
Mucci said it's just a matter of finishing up some paperwork in order to break ground.
The expansion to the congested area in The Underground, designed by third-year architecture student Whitney Jones, served as a major platform for Senate coalition KUnited's 2010 campaign. In a recent interview with the Kansan where former student leaders Michael Wade Smith and Megan Ritter reflected on their time in office, Smith said the expansion was one of the most "noteworthy accomplishments" of their term.
"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," Smith, a senior from Goodland, said during the interview.
May 5 was the construction bid

Ed Schroer holds the DVD case to a video he created to honor his late father, who died earlier this year. As a college student, Schroer has had to deal with a very important transitional period partially without a dad.

the story of three students suffering from the loss of a parent in college
tragedy in transition
BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com
Schaadt sensed the magnitude of the situation when his dad called and said his mom had a medical emergency. He needed to come home immediately. He'd never heard his dad cry before.
An hour before this scene, Schaadt's life was normal. An 18-year-old KU freshman at the time, he and his buddies were watching a movie in his Ellsworth Hall room and drinking beer. He had spent the day before with his mom. It was Election Day 2008 — monumental because the first African-American president was elected
As Chris Schaadt tore around the corner in his black Ford F-150, he saw police cars and ambulances lining the street at his home in Lenexa. Their lights were off.
Schaadt's mother, Dana, died Nov. 5, 2008, at age 40.
— but he remembers it for a different reason. It was the last time he would see his mom alive.
Lindy Anderson was finishing a shift at Lawrence Athletic Club when a flurry of calls lit up her cell phone, several from her aunt. That's when she learned her father was dead.
Anderson's father, Gary, died Oct. 5, 2009, at age 64.
She felt especially alone when she drove home to Lenexa and walked into an empty house. Her parents had divorced years before and her mother and stepfather were away in Branson, Mo.
Stricken with grief and facing midterm exams, she had another heavy burden she had never anticipated as a 19-year-old: She, the daughter, the kid, would arrange the funeral, tell family and friends, decide on the disposition of the body and hire an attorney to handle the estate.
Ed Schroer walked into a Topeka hospital room to see nurses circling his dad's body on a gurney. He had gotten news that his dad's heart was failing and he needed to come home immediately. When he saw his father, his chest was badly bruised after nearly two hours of nurses performing chest compressions.
Once a prominent lawyer in Topeka, Schroer's father, Gene, died December 11,2010,at age 83.
After a year of his dad being in and out of the hospital, Schroer knew he would have to deal with his elderly dad's death sooner than most children. That didn't make it easier when the call finally came from his mom.

SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY
ABOUT US
BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com
Howrd Ting/KANSAN
Hurrdat.com is a networking website managed by Austin Brown, a senior from Shawnee. Hurrdat Social Media was founded in August of 2010 by Brown's business partner Blake Lawrence, a graduate of the University of Nebraska. The site is dedicated to providing small to medium-sized businesses a new and exciting way to connect with their target markets.
In 2010, Blake Lawrence, a University of Nebraska student from Overland Park, began an internship with a company in Lincoln. Neb He was in charge of managing the company's social media presence. However, the company did not have a social media strategy. So, Lawrence built one.
Lawrence created a model for that company which, according to him, "helped generate over $500,000 in new leads." After he completed the internship, Lawrence hit the ground running.
HELP FROM A FRIEND
"I realized I could take the same model and start a company with it," said Blake, who founded Hurrdat Social Media in August of 2010.
Four months later, Lawrence enlisted the help of his high school friend and KU student Austin Brown. Brown, a senior from Overland Park, said he been involved in finding new clients and managing relationships with them. He also said his concentration on entrepreneurship in the School of Business provided him with the necessary foundation to be involved in a young company.
WHAT IS HURRDAT?
"Right now as a start up, there really isn't a specific role," he said. "We do everything."
Hurrdat, or "heard dat," provides social media solutions to businesses. According to Brown, many businesses want to build their online presence, but aren't quite sure where to start. That's where Hurrdat comes in.
"We kind of step in and help businesses who don't have the resources or the know-how to do their social media for them on their behalf," he said.
Brown says their services include creating content, interacting with viewers and providing analytics that measure growth and audience feedback. The five-person company currently has 25 clients, with some located in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Hurrdat recently started a new company, Hurrdat Athletes. Lawrence, a former football player at Nebraska, built relationships with his
teammates that are helping his business grow. The new company helps athletes connect with companies that want them to represent their brand online. Prince Amukamara, a former Nebraska safety who was drafted this year by the New York Giants, is its most high-profile client.
Lawrence said one of his advantages in the business was being young. Although a common problem for new companies is credibility, his generation is often seen as competent when dealing with the Internet.
"Since social media is so new, we are useful and seen as credible,"
Lawrence said.
INCREASE YOUR PRESENCE
Brown offered a tip he's learned in the business for people looking to build their audience on social media networks: Add value to conversations.
"Whether that's being funny or providing good information, provide value for anyone who is following you so they have a reason to follow you and get something out of the relationship," he said.

Engineering alumni to receive honor
CAMPUS
The School of Engineering will honor three alumni during its annual Distinguished Engineering Service Award in a ceremony at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
The ceremony is invitationonly but will include a sort of "State of the Union" address on the school from its dean, Stuart Bell, as well as honoring the influential recipients engineering graduates Frank Gordon, Allyn Risley and Scott Smith.
"It is an honor to recognize these three great Jayhawk engineers for their outstanding career achievements,"Bell wrote in a media release."They
have all shown wonderful support to the KU School of Engineering over the years"
Gordon is a mechanical engineer who received his doctorate in 1971. He spent 38 years in the civilian ranks of the Navy, where he worked in the applied science department at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command on projects including work on cold fusion, according to the release. Allyn Risley earned a bachelor's in petroleum engineering in 1972 and has worked for ConocoPhillips since. Smith earned a master's in civil engineering in 1981 and works for the Kansas City firm HNTB. He also serves on the School of Engineering's advisory board.

Lawsuit from Wren death is dismissed
A lawsuit against Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1308 West Campus Road, was settled in April and officially dismissed on Friday.
Court records show District Judge Michael Malone dismissed the case filed last year by Jay Wren against several fraternity members as well as the local and national chapters of the fraternity where Jay's 19-year-old son, freshman Jason Wren, died from alcohol poisoning on March 8, 2009.
Wren and SAE attorneys settled last month but have not given any information on the terms of the settlement. The dismissal came from a request by the attorneys but, again, no comment or further details were given.
After his son's death, Wren called for the fraternity to "go dry" and for tougher alcohol regulations on campus.

High gas prices lead to more drilling
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
High gas prices have reigned a familiar debate about drilling off California's coast, with everyone playing their usual part and the outcome pretty much predictable.
Republicans urge energy independence. Democrats warn of coastal devastation. And while the House on Wednesday will approve an offshore drilling bill that includes part of California, the effort almost certainly will sputter out on the Senate side of Capitol Hill.
With California gasoline prices averaging over $4.20 a gallon, Republicans can mobilize public resentment and distinguish themselves from Democras.The title of one of the bills being approved Wednesday clarifies the partisan point: it's called the Reversing President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act.

Air handling unit sets off fire alarms
Oil experts say, however, that there is ample excess production capacity to pump more oil, weak demand and low utilization rates at U.S. refineries. These factors point to a plentiful supply of oil.

TV stars vie for Oprah's crown
BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Ooprah Winfrey, the monarch of daytime television, tapes her final episode this month. For 25 years, Winfrey, avatar of the national psyche and high priestess of the self-empowerment movement, has ruled the daytime airwaves by inviting celebrities and statesmen to her couch for friendly tete-a-tetes watched by millions of loyal followers.
Already, members of TV's royalty are plotting to seize Winfrey's crown. Katie Couric is marshaling an insurgency. Anderson Cooper has staked a beachhead. Judith Sheindlin — aka "Judge Judy" — has built her own fortress with more than 6 million daily viewers. Ellen DeGeneres is carving out her niche as the queen of nice.
There's even an opening for a new jester of daytime as Regis Philbin — who has logged more hours in front of the camera than any player in the realm and turns 80 in August — exits "Live With
It could be years before any of the claimants emerge as Winfrey's rightful heir — if at all. Daytime television may never again give birth to an uber-personality like Winfrey. With hundreds of cable channels and thousands of Internet sites vying for people's time, it is becoming ever harder for an individual to command a common audience of shared interests and empathy.
"It's going to be very difficult, if not impossible, for someone to be as dominant as Oprah has been," said Bill Carroll, director of programming for Katz Media. "When she came on the air, most cities had only two or three TV stations and cable penetration was relatively low. Many channels didn't exist."
The turnover comes as soap operas — once the chief form of escapism from the tedium of household chores for countless women — are nearly washed up.
When ABC's "All My Children"
"and One Life to Live" end their
runs next season, only four network soaps will remain on the air, compared with nearly a dozen a decade ago. At its peak in 1981, more than 14 million people watched "General Hospital" on ABC. Now, fewer than 3 million tune in daily.

"There is a transition going on in daytime television, and it is a generational change," said Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. domestic television distribution.
A wave of women flooding the workforce has been accompanied by a rise in the popularity of shows featuring women in charge of their lives — and influencing others.
Staple soap opera themes of women in jeopardy or navigating relationships has given way to role models such as Winfrey powerbroking presidential candidates on her show, upscale female professionals crossing swords on "The View," and litigants submitting to justice dispensed by a stern 68-year-old schoolmarm-in-a-lace-collar on "Judge Judy"

Stuart Bell said Friday that recent media speculation over a proposal is true but declined to give further details on when and how the former Beatle asked New York socialite Nancy Shevell to marry him, saying only "we're all thrilled for him."
McCartney and Shevell started seeing each other in Long Island's Hamptons area in late 2007.

The marriage will be McCartney's third; his first wife, Linda, died of cancer in 1998 and the rocker divorced his second wife, Heather Mills, in 2008 after a separation period.

Palin daughter gets her own reality show
BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
When John McCain talked about job creation back in 2008, he probably wasn't thinking about Bristol Palin.
Still, the man who tapped Sarah Palin as his running mate three years ago could probably claim some credit for the apparently unstoppable career of the former Alaska governor's 20-year-old daughter, whose latest gig, a 10-episode "reality" show on A&E's Bio channel, was announced Monday.
But then McCain might be just as happy to have been left out of the Bio statement, which hailed Palin as "the most famous single mother in America" (yes, even more famous than the ones on "16 and Pregnant") and a "national media darling."
Prominently mentioned: Palm's "odds-defying, ratings record-breaking run on (ABC's) 'Dancing with the Stars.'"
Not mentioned: Her mother,
who has, after all, had her own
"really show," TLCs "Sarah Palin's
Alaska," in which Palin played herself.
Don't expect much mountain-climbing or deep-sea fishing in the so-far untitled Bio project, which has Palin and her son, Tripp, moving to Los Angeles to work for a "small charity in need" that the network won't yet identify and to share a home with her fellow "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Kyle Massey and his actor brother, Christopher.
Because, according to Bio, since "Dancing," Palin and the brothers "have become best friends."
And as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie taught us long ago, there's no better way to truly be BFEs than to do a TV show together. (Hilton's newest show, Oxygen "The World According to Paris," will focus in part on her friendship with Charlie Sheen's ex, Brooke Mauler.)
Bio describes the show as following Palin as she moves from Alaska to L.A.

Pre-natal care is not a privilege; it's a right
POLITICS
After celebrating our mothers on Sunday, we should take a good look at what our government is doing to protect maternal health.
Maternal mortality, the death of a woman due to complications in pregnancy or childbirth, is primarily a problem in the developing world, but preventable deaths still occur in the U.S. The maternal mortality ratio is higher in the United States than in 49 other countries. A nation that boasts such great technological advances in health care and such a high standard of living should not be a more dangerous place for a woman to be pregnant than 25 percent of the world's countries.
In the U.S., the maternal mortality rate among black women is almost four times the rate of white women. Amnesty International says that the obstacles some women face in obtaining adequate maternal health care in the U.S. include discrimination, language barriers and financial barriers. Race and poverty are obviously two major determinants of safety in pregnancy.

trend of mothers not being as appreciated as they should be until Mother's Day rolls around—I think that many students would agree with that. It is time for us to make mothers a priority
Congress has become stagnant and unresponsive to the plight of pregnant women in our country. After failing to pass the Partnering to Improve Maternity Care Quality Act, our legislature now needs to make maternal health a priority. According to the Centers for Disease Control, many maternal deaths are preventable; it is unacceptable for Congress to continue ignoring maternal health when improved care could be saving lives.
ing public awareness and focusing on the standards for medical practices and the diversity of the workforce, this bill would address many of the current problems with maternal health.
Congress must pass the MOMS for the 21st Century Act, introduced by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, a Democrat from California. By increas-
A significant shift in focus is necessary for our legislators to make this important decision to assist mothers.
In Kansas, the state government has passed some abortion regulations that seem to suggest that the health and well-being of mothers are not as important as playing politics. While some regulations are claimed to be in the interest of the health of the mothers, it is arguable that they effectively place political interests over maternal health interests.
In particular, the new parental consent law will place a larger burden on pregnant minors who may in fact be seeking an abortion (pre-viability) for their own safety or the safety of the child. This new law would require the consent of both parents for the minor to obtain an abortion, not just one parent.
In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court held that a law requiring specifically one parent's consent was constitutional as long as there was a judicial bypass option. The
Supreme Court has not passed judgment on a law requiring both parents' consent; however, it is my hope that the Supreme Court will see this as an unnecessary addition to the process that places an undue burden on the woman seeking the abortion. There is still a judicial bypass option, but this should only have to be considered if the woman cannot obtain consent from either parent, not if she can obtain one parent's consent.
Only two other states (of the 24 that have consent laws) require consent from both parents. Obviously, this statute is about anti-abortion politics, not the health and welfare of the woman.
If our state legislature is any indication of some of the attitudes in Congress, representatives need to reevaluate their mindset and their commitment to protecting mothers. One way to do that is to address the issue of maternal mortality with the mothers' interests in mind, not politics.

ENVIRONMENT
Creative thinking can eliminate the waste from a night out with friends
I have a friend who claims that she's come up with a system for making a Chipotle burrito bowl last for four meals. Unfortunately for my waistline, my bowl is always empty before anyone else has even unwrapped a burrito. But, like my friend, I still take the bowl home with me.To be honest, I often take other peoples' empty bowls home with me too because they are compostable.
Chipotle, in all of its environmental genius, designed its packaging to be recycled and composted. The foil burrito wrappers can be recycled and the cups and bowls are paper, which can be composted. This is significant because recycling aluminum is 95 percent more efficient than sourcing brand new aluminum and composting organic matter such as vegetation, paper and food scraps provides us with great soil for producing more food. If you take your cup and bowl home with you and add them to your compost pile, they will break down in a matter of weeks, leaving you with a little more dirt and your community with a little lighter landfill.
Actually, many restaurants are starting to use compostable cups, which I think is great. What's not so great is that these restaurants aren't providing a compost disposal option and they aren't doing anything to educate their customers about composting at home. Right now, the only way to dispose of these items in the restaurant is to throw them in the trash. This means that they will end up

inside of a plastic bag, which will take 10 to 20 years to decompose in a landfill. So what's the point?
If the restaurants did a better job of educating customers about composting, maybe more people would cart their trash home with them like I do. However, this isn't the best system, since you are rarely going right home from eating fast food and this can easily lead to unintended science projects in your car.
As I write this, I have four bowls from Chipotle in my car from last night's dinner with friends, and one of them is not empty. I know my car is going to smell for a few days and that my friends think I'm a little crazy for bringing their trash home with me, but I'm going to make soil for a fantastic garden, and I feel good about keeping our trash out of the land-fill. Now my friends know that the bowls are compostable. And now, so do you.

CULTURE
If sexuality is a choice, then it's a choice for all
In February 2011, Lady Gaga released her next hit, "Born This Way," breaking iTunes records. In this song, the pop-bubblegum (or rock-bubblegum?) sensation attributes biology to her bisexuality (hence, she was "born [that] way") and intersects her Judeo-Christian beliefs with this attribution singing that "A different lover is not a sin/Believe capital H.I.M."
On May 2, 2011, Rep. Steve Simon from Minnesota, in an attempt to persuade his uncertain electorate to vote against a 2012 bill banning same-sex marriage in the state, asked, "...[.]If it's true, that sexual orientation is innate, God-given... [h]ow many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God wants them around?"
Questions and claims regarding the origins of homosexuality are clearly still salient in our culture and politics, as neither social scientists nor scientists can prove one or the other, and people often use religious beliefs to give divine ethos to their assertions. Who cares,
KANEAD
BY JAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com
In studies conducted in 2005 and 2008, Don Haider-Markel and Mark Joslyn, who happen to be professors of political science at the University, found significant correlations with beliefs about the origins of homosexuality and support for, or opposition to, gay civil rights. The authors conclude that, if a person believes homosexuality to be a choice or the result of environmental factors, he or she can predict a lack of support for pro-same-same policies from that person. Conversely, those who believe homosexuality to be the result of biological factors are much more likely

to support gay rights. Explanations for this have to do with whether these urges can be controlled, and thus can change (opposition), or if the individual has no control (support) and cannot change.
Independent research groups, such as Pew and Gallup, often ask the question, "Do you believe homosexuality to be a choice?" Given the political climate, it's understandable for the researchers to word the question in such a way, but do people understand the implications of this wording? The questions assume being gay or lesbian is something to be researched and that other sexual orientations toward sex (because there are other things that make up our sexual orientations) are not, because there is no question as to the origins of heterosexuality, right?
Homosexuality is a part of a person's orientation, and if you believe homosexuality to be a choice,you are implying you believe sexual orientation toward sex to be a choice. You are also implying you believe other sexual orientations toward sex to be a choice,including
I am not arguing whether sexual orientation is a choice (though the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association both agree it's not). And I'm not arguing that it's the result of environmental factors or biology, it could very well be either or both.
But when you are asked whether you believe homosexuality is a choice, ask yourself whether your sexual desires for another person are a choice. Think more broadly about orientation. Is your gayness or lesbianism a choice? Is your bisexuality a choice? Did you choose to be straight? Is it the environment? Or were you "born [that] way"?

FAMILY
Ben Pirotc/EKANSAN
Lindy Anderson holds a photo of her and her dad from her high school graduation. Anderson's father died in 2009.
Many college students like Schaadt, Anderson and Schroer are preparing for independence by educating themselves for future careers while still depending on parents for help with tuition, health and car insurance and transportation. They are exploring relationships with potential partners, while celebrating holidays and family milestones with mom and dad. They are living on their own in dorms, fraternities and sororities and apartments, yet often thinking of their parents' house where they grew up as "home."
They are responsible for clothing and feeding themselves, while sometimes hauling laundry bags full of dirty clothes home to mom and dad and appreciating their home-cooked meals. In short, the leap from dependent child to independent adult is more daunting for any college student without the help of a parent who has been there before and is now — suddenly — gone.
According to the American Sociological Review, one in 10 children lose a parent before they reach age 25.
Debra Umberson, a professor of sociology at the University of Texas and author of "Death of a Parent: A Transition to a New Adult Identity", said there is little research conducted on college students and the death of a parent. The effect of losing a parent is devastating at any age and marks a turning point in a person's life, she said.
"For people in college, one of the big issues for them is that it's premature," she said. "You're supposed to have your parent at that age."
Umberson said adult children who experience the death of a parent show increased psychological distress and depression, increased alcohol use, a decline in health and a decline in the quality of relationships. She said these effects can be apparent for up to three years after the death of the parent.
years after the
"Most of us are sort of in denial of death,
and this is one of those things that pierces that
denial," she said.
college students who lose a parent are
affected emotionally, psychologically, physically, academically and financially. At the very time they are about to launch independent lives, they lose the people they rely on most for direction.
Anderson wonders who will walk her down the aisle when she gets married; Schaadt's grief led to depression, alcohol abuse and bad grades; the fact that Schroer lived in Topeka and commuted to the University means he will only now move to Lawrence and learn how "to be a real college kid."

Schaadt learned from his dad that his mother had died of cardiac arrhythmia.
His mother's body lay on the floor of the living room covered by a white sheet.
The next five days swirled by with what seemed like hundreds of people flowing through his house. Plates of food brought by friends and family filled every square-inch of counter space in the kitchen.

stumbling beyond the company and bustle were gone and Schaadt was alone with his memories. That's when darkness set in. He was back at school — lonelier than ever. As a freshman, he sat in giant classes in Budig Hall, alone in a crowd, no one knowing what he was dealing with.
He stopped going to class. He couldn't stand being in school. His dad thought he was going to classes, but he spent his days in his room. He withdrew from half of his classes.
The next semester wasn't any better, and he seemed to spend more time at home in
Lenexa than on campus. After his semester ended with a plummeting grade point average, Schaadt transferred to nearby Johnson County Community College. He couldn't stand to be at school in Lawrence, so he thought living at home would be better.
He was wrong.
He felt like he had nothing. No friends. No mom. No classes he wanted to go to.

At home in the evenings, he'd try to hide being intoxicated from his dad. When his brother and dad went to bed, he'd start drinking again and continue into the morning.
As soon as she heard her aunt's trembling voice on the phone, she knew something was wrong. Her aunt struggled to get the words out that her brother — Anderson's dad — was gone.
Anderson's dad died at home - alone presumably of a heart attack. He had suffered from heart problems for years. He had three heart attacks already.
Anderson had pondered before how she might respond: "What would I do if someone close to me died?"
She thought memories and emotions would race through her head.
Instead, there was nothing. She was numb.
Instead, there was nothing. She was humble.
"You just, you can't prepare for it," she said.
"You really feel like your world just ended."

As it her dad dying wasn't enough, it was the week of midterms. She had three tests to take.

The drive from Lawrence to Lenexa on K-10 seemed to take forever.
Once she got home, she walked into an empty house. She would stay in the house alone for three days and nights.
Because her dad hadn't planned a funeral and didn't have a will, Anderson made almost all of the arrangements.
She found a place for the funeral.
She designed the memorial pamphlet that would be handed out at the funeral.

She faced hard decisions, made more difficult by her grief.
She couldn't help but think that a 19-year-old shouldn't have to plan her father's funeral.
But now, she surveyed the foyer of the funeral home, more nervous than she'd ever been in her life. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to gather the courage to see her father one more time before his body was cremated.

She would scream and yell, angry at the world. She would beg for her dad to come back. She would try to sleep, but instead lay awake thinking of her dad.
She walked into the room where her dad's body lay on a table in front of the room, a handmade quilt covering his body from the chest down. She wondered where the quilt had come from. It looked like something a grandmother would make; she thought.

room. Since her dad would be cremated, he didn't need a casket.
It didn't seem like him. Sure, it was him,
but it wasn't him.
Anderson's half-sister, Kristy, niece and nephew stood at her father's feet. She could see the grief in their eyes. She was impressed with how brave her niece and nephew were.
She could see how the services provided closure for the rest of her family. But for her, closure hadn't come since she received the phone call several days earlier from her aunt.
- It's times like that when his death feels too fresh — even overwhelming.
Even now, when she thinks of her dad, he 'sees his body lying on that table.
She thinks about how she slowly drifted apart from her dad after her parents divorced. Growing up, the selfish part of her resented her dad for always being sick. The other part, when she was younger at least, secretly hoped that her parents would work things out and get back together.
Even when she was in college, she'd find herself trying to hang up the phone before she had to say "I love you." The day before her dad died, she talked to him on the phone. That time, the last time, she said "I love you," and that was rare. Now, she cherishes the moment.
Despite the volatile relationship she had with her dad, they shared a special relationship. When events, both good and bad, happen in Anderson's life, she often still finds herself thinking she needs to tell him.
When she starts thinking about him, she hates talking about it. She's heard countless friends and family recite the cliché: "If you need someone to talk to, I'm here."
But Anderson, now a junior, doesn't want to talk to anyone. She doesn't want to make them uncomfortable. She feels she has to be alone with those thoughts and memories.
She likes to sort through her memory box, filled with pictures, cards, and an old, but fragrant cigar from his collection. Certain things trigger memories of him — like cigar smoke, of course, and Bob Seger songs. The last time "Against the Wind" came on the radio in her car, she started tearing up. Those are the good memories. That's why she sifts through the memory box — to remember the good times.
Whenever Anderson goes to visit her half-sister, Kristy, she's constantly reminded of her dad. Family is bound to make you remember lost loved ones, especially now that Kristy lives in their dad's house in Olathe, where he spent his last minutes. When she visits, she wonders what those minutes were like. Did he die peacefully? Did he yell for help? Was he lying there waiting for someone to come save him? Did he suffer?
The death of her father makes her appreciate others in her life. She tries to spend more time with her family — her dad's four step-daughters from a previous marriage: Renee, Mindy, Kim and Jennifer and her half-sister, Kristy, along with her sisters' children.
Whenever she leaves after seeing them, she always says "I love you"
The times she sees her family the most are holidays. For someone who lost a parent, holidays are difficult. Holidays used to be her dad's favorite time of the year because the whole family would be together. It was what he lived for.
Her first Thanksgiving without her dad was six weeks after his death; Christmas just a few weeks later. The holidays brought memories, but also sadness. And each June, Anderson doesn't know what to do for Father's Day. There's nothing left to celebrate.
As Anderson approaches her senior year, she laments that her dad won't see her graduate from the university he was so proud she attended. When other parents gather to watch their children walk down the hill, the man in her life who was ready to snap a photo at any important moment wouldn't be there to shoot her in her cap and gown.
If she gets married, she doesn't know who will walk her down the aisle.
When these thoughts flood her brain, she grabs her journal she started days after his
death. She uses it to write down her feelings and memories of her dad. She wants to make sure she doesn't forget them.
That's the point of the journal. It's a way to keep him alive, in a sense.
That's all she has left.
ED'S STORY
Ed Schroer, a junior from Topeka, was walking with some friends to a house party on a cold night last December when his cell phone rang. It was his mother calling from a Topeka hospital. She was with his dad, whose heart had started fibrillating — a quivering that preceded heart failure. She said the doctors were doing CPR and chest compressions and he needed to immediately drive to Topeka.
Schroer tried not to worry. His dad had been in and out of the hospital for a year. He always got better.
Schroer's hopped into his brother's green Ford, got on the turnpike and sped 80 miles per hour back to Topeka.
This time was different.
It was 2 a.m. when he walked into St. Francis Health Center. The waiting room, dimly lit and reeking of cleaning supplies, was vacant except for Schroer, his mom and his brother, Mack. His other two brothers, John and Paul, weren't answering their phones.
The hospital scene wasn't new — but being there at that time of night was.
In 2006, Schroer's dad had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative neurological disease that causes tremors and difficulty with walking, coordination and movement.
His dad was 78 at the time.
Schroer was 15 — the youngest of four, too young to understand what the disease really meant. The effects of Parkinson's weren't obvious at that point. His dad was still able to practice law and manage his cow-calf operation every day.
Schroer's dad had been a prominent trial lawyer in Topeka for more than 50 years. His dad had to leave his practice and start working from home in 2008. Instead of going to court, he gave advice to clients and other attorneys. When Schroer transferred from Highland Community College to the University in 2009, he decided to live at home on the family farm outside of Topeka and commute to class.
One reason for living at home was to help his dad, who had stopped practicing law altogether and sold his cattle herd because of his failing health. Schroer would commute to Lawrence — 28 miles each way — several days a week.
In addition to Parkinson's, his dad had his bladder removed because of cancer.
A missing kidney caused multiple kidney infections. During one of his stays in the hospital, his dad contracted a highly resistant bacterial infection that was difficult to treat.
He would help his dad get in and out of bed and into his wheelchair. Some days, Schroer would feed his dad. Other days, he would change the sheets on his bed, bathe and clothe him. The family as a whole acted as an in-home nurse.
Schroer never questioned his decision to care for his dad, who was as old as most of his friends' grandparents.
His dad had another family from a first marriage that ended in divorce. Schroer had four half-siblings. When his dad married his mom, the couple adopted three sons before Schroer was born. The family joked that they were far from normal. Helping take care of his dad just played into that.
Even when his dad first became sick and bedridden, he was still mentally alert in the beginning. Eventually, he developed slight dementia and was confused about where he was at times.
Back at the hospital that December night, the doctor escorted Schroer's family to a smaller, private room.
As Schroer, his mom and brother sat in the smaller room, the doctor crouched down and told his mom the compressions
"Oh, I don't like the looks of this." Schroer remembers his mom saving.
weren't working — that it didn't look like his dad would make it. Together the family returned to the hospital room where nurses surrounded his dad like bees in a hive. Two nurses were switching back and forth performing compressions. Another nurse hovered above his head pumping air into his lungs. The doctor stood there viewing the monitors. His dad's chest was badly bruised, the product of nearly two hours of compressions.
Schroer started crying.
His mom asked Edward and his brother, Mack, what they thought should be done at that point. They held hands and said a family prayer. They then agreed to tell the nurses to stop compressions. But first they told his father goodbye and his mother closed his father's eyes.
A few days later, more than 300 people filled the First Methodist Church in Topeka at the funeral. His father's casket rested at the front of the church covered with red roses and sunflowers, his dad's favorite flowers. Friends, family members and pastors took turns speaking about his dad. Schroer, a film studies major, played a 10-minute long memorial video about his father that he made.
Afterward, family and friends traveled to Pleasant Hill Cemetery for the burial. An American flag lay draped over the casket commemorating his service in the Army during the Korean War.
Nearly five months later, Schroer has come to terms with his dad's death and can talk about his dad and his death without getting emotional. He says it's because of his faith in God and he has had time to mentally prepare himself.
After all, his dad was 83. He knew that his dad lived a good, long life, but he still misses him. But, Schroer had the opportunity to spend 21 years with him and inherited his dad's love of baseball.
His dad played AAA baseball and on the New York Yankees farm team when he was younger. The talent scout who recruited Joe DiMaggio also recruited his dad. His dad was the reason Schroer started playing baseball and eventually went to Highland Community College on a baseball scholarship as a left-handed pitcher as was his father.
Schroer still lives at the family home where he is constantly reminded of his dad. The leather chair where his dad would sit and watch CNN in is usually empty.
He says the family has become closer since his dad's death.
This March, when federal student loan applications were due, the family was initially stymied by his father's missing expertise. He was good at forms and also did most of the family taxes. Since the family's taxes weren't filed before March 1, Schroer was granted a deadline extension while his oldest brother filed the family's taxes.
Medical and health-care bills and the expense of the funeral put extra stress on Schroer's mom. Schroer felt obligated to help his family out by getting a job. Last semester he worked at the Ambler Memorial Student Recreation Center as a game monitor for intramural basketball games. Recently, Schroer took a different job working in a computer lab at the Art and Design School. He says the extra money lessens his mom's financial burden.
Schroer is looking forward to having a "more normal" college experience next year. He plans to move out of the family home and live in a house near Allen Fieldhouse with his college friends. He's only been to one KU basketball game — last year's game against Missouri — so he looks forward to attending more. He wants to tailgate and go to football games.

He's glad he was a good son and helped his dad, but the experience thrust him into adulthood for a year and a half. He looks forward to being a normal college kid during his senior year. The only thing not normal: when he walks down the hill at graduation, his father won't be there.
For students who experience the death of a parent or another tragedy, there are services on campus to help them. The Academic Achievement and Access Center on campus is available for students to contact when dealing with life-changing events.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, said contacting their office is helpful in several ways. If the student cannot contact their office directly, friends, relatives, residence assistants, housing directors or other people who are close with the student can contact their office.
In the event of a family death, the Academic Achievement and Access Center can Inform faculty of the situation and alert faculty that the student will not be in class Work with students to get back on track after returning to classes Inform students of counseling services available on campus and in Lawrence
Rasnak said tragic events happen to students more often that one might think. The University is essentially a town of about 30,000 people, she said. If any other town of that size, a day wouldn't go by when someone wouldn't suffer from a serious illness, be involved in a car accident or lose a loved one.

Counseling and Psychological Services
Students who are grieving can contact Counseling and Psychological Services. John Wade, licensed psychologist and outreach coordinator with CAPS, said that grief is the natural response to the loss of a loved one. In respect to losing a parent, Wade said that college students may think about how their parent died too soon.
"There is the added component of "This wasn't supposed to happen," he said. "I think it is more difficult if it is out of sequence."
The grieving process varies for different individuals, but some symptoms of grief include
- Feelings of loss and sadness
- Feeling of being unsettled
- Feeling of loss of control
- Anger
- Depression
- Lack of motivation
- Having "What if" questions
Wade said that friends and family of individuals experiencing grief should remember to be available to listen. He said that talking about loss is one of the most important aspects of accepting loss.Talking about an experience helps the individual make sense of the situation. Additionally, people should remember to continue to invite grieving individuals to participate in activities they would normally attend, he said.

The timeline for the project is estimated to take 90 days with the majority of construction taking place during the summer. The Hawk Shop will be closed and The
Pulse will operate at a minimal function possibly affecting students taking summer courses on campus. The rest of The Underground will operate as usual, though.
With varying estimated dates of completion, the project is on schedule to be finished around the beginning of fall classes.
But Union officials think it could be sooner.
Wayne Pearse, the director of facilities for the Kansas Union, thinks the project could be com-
Other estimated dates of completion are closer to September 1.
Funding for the project is possible because of a recently approved $1.80 increase to the Student Union renovation fee under student fees. The Student Senate approved the increase during student fee review in March. Mucci said it appears construction will come out on budget.
"I believe it will be accomplished," Pearse said.

Last season's lessons to learn
MORNING BREW
It's just about that time of the year, when college sports fans will soon
when college sports tans will soon be resigned to watching nothing but professional baseball and soccer highlights every night and counting down to college football's first kickoff.
I am very proud of you.
BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com
Aside from a handful of track meets, baseball games and golf tournaments, the sports year at the University is history. But instead of immediately looking forward to next fall, it's important to take time to reflect on the lessons that can be gleaned from the past nine months. As the saying goes, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and I doubt many sports fans would like to live through the disappointments from last year again.
This really shouldn't be a lesson that Kansas fans needed to learn; it should have been common sense. After all, the great Mark Mangino had even fewer wins his first season, going 2-10 five years before winning a BCS championship. However, the immediate calls for Turner Gill's firing from incensed fans suggest that this is a lesson that needs to be learned once again.
Lesson No. 1: It takes more than seven months to build a good football team.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Lesson No. 2: Sometimes September football makes about as much sense as March basketball.
For all the effort that goes into breaking down matchups, stat lines and x-factors, sports make extremely little sense sometimes. We're used to seeing nonsensical results in March, like
Kansas' loss to VCU two days after an absolute dismantling of Richmond. But Kansas football experienced a similar week in the fall - call it September Madness - when it followed up a less-than-inspiring opening loss to South Dakota State by upsetting Georgia Tech. That result against Tech made even less sense as the disappointing season continued.
Lesson No. 3: Never trust a Bubba.
Actually, he definitely won't, it was decided on Thursday.
You remember Bubba Cunningham, right? Last fall, almost no one at the University of Kansas had heard of him. Then, on Dec. 14, a Tuesday, several major news outlets reported Cunningham had all but signed a contract to be Kansas' next athletics director.
Or maybe he won't, they reported the next day.
ly decided to go with the candidate with the second-best name they could find: Sheahon Zenger.
Who knows why he ultimately decided to turn down Kansas and return to Tulsa, but surely Kansas learned its lesson in messing around with Bubbas and ultimate
Lesson No. 4: If you want to be a professional basketball player, make sure you average 8.7 points per game and maintain a .382 field goal percentage.
Take note, young basketball players. If you want to make it to the NBA draft, all it takes is two-thirds of a collegiate season playing in a limited role and earning mediocre stats. You might also sit out three games in the middle of the season with a stress reaction in your foot, just so you don't gain too much momentum throughout the season. It worked for Josh Selby, so who says it can't work for everyone?
Well, sure, there was the whole "No. 1 high-school recruit" thing, but don't get caught up in details.

Softball ends without final games, but with anticipation
The softball team was counting on three final games against Drake and UMKC to round out its season and bolster its way into post season play. That was not the case, though. The Drake doubleheader was scheduled for May 5, but was rained out. Yesterday's scheduled game against UMKC was cancelled because of scheduling conflicts between the universities.
"Honestly, we were all really disappointed with how it ended," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull.
The team finished the regular season with a 31-22 overall record. The team still hopes that its 26-3 pre-season non-conference record will bolster its RPI enough for the team to advance to post season play.
the tournament, and being ranked No. 49 gives Kansas a good chance of entering the tournament.
The team has the potential to make regionals for the first time since 2006.
As of May 1, the team is ranked No.49 in the nation, according to RPI, as calculated by strength of schedule and win-loss record. The RPI is a main selection factor that determines the field of 64 teams for
"That's on everyone's mind that we are making it," Hull said.
"No matter what the score of the game was we were going to just keep fighting no matter what. It was an incredible feeling and I wish I could live in that moment forever."

Junior outfielder
The team will continue practice this week as it waits for the Sunday selection show on ESPNU at 10 p.m.
ers and coaches will bid farewell to senior pitcher Allie Clark and senior catcher Brittany Hile as they reflect upon the season. The team broke the record for home runs in a single season with a total of 60. It won six of the seven pre-conference tournaments, beginning the season
"We are trying to give them some reps, so that they stay sharp in case we make regionals," coach Megan Smith said.
If the team is not accepted into the field of 64 teams, the play-
10-0. It defeated two top-25 ranked teams: Georgia Tech and North Carolina.
"The feeling of how happy we were and how in sync we all felt; it felt like we were on this kind of high almost," said junior outfielder Liz Kocon. "No matter what the score of the game was, we were going to just keep fighting no matter what. It was an incredible feeling and I wish that I could live in that moment forever."
It will be that kind of mentality that the team will need if it makes the NCAA tournament. Although who it will face, where it will play and even if it will play has yet to be determined, the team is locked in, focused and ready to continue the season if given the opportunity.

SPEAKING UP
Mangino breaks silence
KU
KU
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Former Kansas football coach Mark Mangino looks up to the scoreboard in the final seconds of a game against Nebraska. Mangino broke his year-and-a-half silence to talk to his hometown newspaper, the New Castle news, about his past coaching and what he wants for the future.
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
It's been 17 months since Mark Mangino resigned as the head football coach at Kansas. During that span, Mangino has been virtually silent in his dealings with the media and has turned down interview requests while spending time with his wife in Naples, Fla., away from the public eye.
Mangino's nearly year-and-a-half silence was broken when he recently met with Kayleen Cubbal of the New Castle News, a paper in Mangino's hometown of New Castle, Pa. While he could not delve into too many details regarding the investigation by former Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins (Mangino and the University agreed to a $3 million buyout with a gag order), he said the allegations of player abuse caught him off guard.
"I was blind-sided and didn't realize there were any issues at all," he told Cubbal. "To use the word 'shocked' would be appropriate."
During his
who issued the coach a parking ticket on campus, in a spot where he had allegedly already received 22 violations. That story went largely unnoticed, if noticed at all, during the 2007 season.
"When I look back on my time at Kansas, I want to remember the positive, not dwell on the negative."
eight-year tenure in Lawrence, Mangino's accomplishments were unmatched by any of his predecessors and were highlighted in 2007, when he led Kansas to a No. 2 national ranking and an Orange Bowl victory.
It wasn't until a 2009 Lawrence Journal-World article brought the incident to light, while Mangino was in the middle of a seven-game losing streak, that information about these incidents started trickling out. Also during the 2009 season, Mangino was investigated for poking the chest of linebacker Arist Wright during a practice.
With the parking ticket story, player abuse allegations and seven-game losing streak that ended the 2009 season, Mangino's time in Lawrence seemed to be coming to an end, and he agreed to a $3 million buyout with the school on Dec. 9. Even though he couldn't disclose details, Mangino said he didn't want to dwell on the past
The heat Mangino received from the Pendleton incident was short lived, as the Jayhawks were playing great and just beginning their 2007 season.
MARK MANGINO Former KU football coach
"That should never even have been an issue," Mangino said. "The conversation was between me and the player. It is an unwritten rule in college football that video is fair game in the coaches' box, but audio is absolutely off limite."
His coaching wasn't without flaws, though. A 2007 incident with Raimond Pendleton following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty became infamous. Mangino was caught on video ripping into Pendleton with some vulgar language. Mangino's take on the incident:
But before that season even began, Mangino was accused of verbally attacking a KU student
anyway.
"When I look back on my time at Kansas, I want to remember the positive, not dwell on the negative," he said. "I'm very proud of my time there."
PAGE 10A
Although he's spent much of the last 17 months with his family, he's still found time for football. This spring, he spent two weeks with his former boss and University of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, helping the coaches and players as an offensive adviser. He's also spent time with Akron, BYU and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an adviser.
"The juices are still flowing" he said. "I'm getting the itch."
He said he's currently looking for head coaching positions, but he has criteria that the position would need to meet.
"I want to be in a football environment — in other words, I would only go to a place where football has a high level of importance" he told Cubbal. "I don't want to go someplace where football is an afterthought or a hobby; that just would not work for me."

Walz leaves behind unexpected legacy
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
While wearing a blue Kansas baseball shirt and waiting for his dad to meet him for lunch at a Pepperjax Grill in Omaha, Neb., incoming freshman Colin Belmont fell under the shadow of a 6-foot-1, 180-pound college student. Colin's shirt had attracted the attention of the visitor, who asked Colin first if he went to Kansas, then if he played baseball.
Conn told the stranger that he planned on attending Kansas in the fall, that he had played baseball at Millard North High school, and that he hoped to walk-on to the Kansas baseball team.
Walz, a former walk-on himself, went on to exchange phone numbers with the future freshman and even offered to throw with Colin once he got to Lawrence. The experience for Colin, who couldn't believe that an athlete approached a student, was one that will stick with him forever.
He happened to be speaking to senior pitcher TJ. Waltz of the Kansas baseball team.
Now one win away from tying the all-time wins record for a pitcher, Walz came to Kansas under very different circumstances — a walk-on with a guaranteed spot on the roster. Walz said he didn't think he would have a significant role on the jayhawks' roster his freshman year. Instead, he started seven games for the jayhawks his first year, going 4-1 for the team with an ERA of 5.00.
"Playing baseball here was like a dream for me, and I never thought that it could be realistic," Belmont said. "When he talked to me, it seemed real; it was definitely life-changing or at least view-changing."
After exceeding expectations in his rookie campaign, Walz blew them away his sophomore season.
"He came in in throwing 80, and as a result of working hard in the weight room and his long-toss program, he elevated his velocity to 90-91," coach
Walz wasn't content after his breakout year, though. He added a changeup for his junior season, something coach Price said would help him against left-handed hitters. The hard work played off for T.J., as he was named Jayhawk Trophy Pitcher of the Year during the 2010 season.
After coming in as a walk-on just two years before, Walz received a phone call from the Oakland Athletics organization in the 2010 draft letting him know that he had been selected by the team in the 50th round.
Ritch Price said. "That made his breaking ball really special."
The added speed on his fastball helped Walz frequently keep batters off balance. He struck out 88 battens in 82/13 innings his sophomore year, while being named to the All-Big 12 second team.
As the ace and Friday night starter of this year's pitching staff, Walz has gained an incredible amount of respect from his teammates. The undersized pitcher isn't the most vocal player on the team, but has led the lahawkins in a different way this season.
Walz had little interest, though; he wanted to return to school and continue to receive the most important thing to him — his education.
"T.J. just leads by example, he isn't a man of a lot of words," senior pitcher Wally Marcel said of one of his best friends. "When he gets out on the mound he's all business and plays his heart out."
KANSAS

"That's just part of being a Jayhawk." Walz said. "You see the bird everywhere and it's fun to start conversations based upon the pride you feel in being a Jayhawk."
So now, with the bright light that is his collegiate career beginning to burn out, Walz puts perspective on why he approached the random kid in his home town who happened to be wearing a Kansas shirt.

COMMENTARY
When sports can break boundaries
BY TIM DWYER
tdiwer@kansan.com
believe in sports.
I believe in sports.
I believe Nelson Mandela was right when he said sports have power greater even than governments to shake established racial boundaries. And I believe he proved it with South Africa's 1995 victory in the Rugby World Cup. (Read the book "Playing the Enemy" by John Carlin rather than watch "Invictus." It's better. The book always is – another thing I believe.)
I don't think that I will ever see a performance again that is as racially inspiring as Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball, or Jesse Owens humiliating Adolf Hitler's Aryan master race in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Thankfully, the world has come a long-enough way that the circumstances don't exist for such a showing.
I believe, as I ready myself to walk down that hill in a couple weeks, that I have witnessed the sheer joy that sports can bring here at Kansas. Anyone who was in Lawrence three years ago was probably with me, and witnessed it in their own right. On April 7, 2008, the flight of a brown leather ball out of the hands of Mario Chalmers sent a jubilant group more than twice the size of the student population of Kansas - 80,000 people - hurtling into the streets.
But to say there are no boundaries left to be broken would be hopelessly naive. There will come a day, in the near future I think, that we will see Iraq or Afghanistan or another country absorbed in war earn a trip to a World Cup. I think that the guns will silence, if only for a few days, and the warring factions will find at least one thing they can unite behind, even if it is something so superficially perceived as sports.
I believe there was a glimpse of that power when, in 2008, the Philippine government called a ceasefire to watch Manny Pacquiao, local hero and best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, fight Juan Manuel Marquez. When Gen. Hermogenes Esperon was asked what the rebels would do, he offered only this: "I suggest that they watch the fight also." There were no attacks during the ceasefire.
I believe that, as a child, playing baseball for my father was one of the most influential moments of growing up. Seeing his work ethic, his passion, his ability to control the room outside of the house, was essential in developing my work ethic, passion and charisma. My dad never feared making a decision as a coach. He never feared repercussions from parents or from the league. If he thought it was the right thing to do, he would do so. And so that lesson passed to me in calculably more fully than if he had simply said, "Boomer, stand up for what you believe is right." I believe sports shaped me into the man I am today.
There is a certain beauty in coincidences, and it was particularly evident when the death of Osama bin Laden was announced two Sundays ago at a game between the Mets and the Phillies that was tied at one in the bottom of the ninth. To rearrange those numbers; that's 9, 11, with teams from New York and Pennsylvania. I believe the "U-S-A" chants were particularly loud there.
I think there will be an openly gay professional athlete in a major sport in our lifetime. Soon, I think this man will be both hero and goat, as Robinson was. But the courage of that one man to endure the emotional beating he will surely take will open eyes and further discussion well past what we can even imagine right now. He will, by displaying his own bravery, give courage to young people to endure the same. And I think not fearing who you are is a wonderful thing.
They did not go to riot. They did not go to burn. They went and they embraced and they cheered and they high-fived and they danced and they drank.
For a night, the elation of winning brought together 80,000 people, most of who had never met each other and would never see each other again. But for that night, they were joyful together, regardless of class or race or sexuality or religion
.
That's what I believe in.

A SOBERING reality
Two years after Jason Wren’s death, what has changed?
BY GARTH SEARS
editor@kansan.com
Photo Illustration by Neward Ting. KANSAN
When he discusses drinking, tragedy and lawsuits with people nationwide, Dave Westol gets rapt attention by flashing a picture of grim young men in dark suits and ties their hands folded. Their heads bowed
"I throw that slide up, and the audience inevitably becomes silent," said Westol, a former chief executive officer of the national Theta Chi fraternity and now an official for the Fraternal Information and Programming Group, a nonprofit that educates Greeks nationwide on risky behaviors and legal liabilities.
The picture shows the funeral of 19-year-old University of Kansas freshman Jason Wren, who was pronounced dead from alcohol poisoning on March 8, 2009, in his fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Before Jason Wren died, he was best known for his big heart and fun-loving nature. He was outgoing. He was athletic. He played for the KU lacrosse club.
But since his death, Wren is better known for how and where he died. His name has taken on a national and local role as an attention-grabber for experts like Westol and a wake-up call for universities. He is just one student among grim statistics that show significant alcohol abuse among college students — especially those at the University of Kansas — and even more abuse among fraternity members nationwide.
BEFORE
Jason Wren died in a fraternity, but he spent most of his time at the University elsewhere.
In August 2008, his freshman year, he moved onto the first floor of
Oliver Hall. Five months later, he told his father he had to move out for violating undisclosed rules.
Jay Wren said he called the Department of Student Housing to ask why his son had to leave, but a representative told him that information was confidential because of the University's privacy policy. According to a court filing by SAE's lawyer, Jason was kicked out for repeatedly violating the University's alcohol policy. Because it was mid-semester, he had nowhere to live. The filing said Wren was able to pledge SAE through a friend and immediately move into the house.
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said in an email that — in addition to increased emphasis on alcohol education — the department has changed its policy. It now notifies parents when a student's housing contract is canceled because of alcohol or drug violations.
Jay Wren told The Kansas that his son had downplayed his write-ups — that a resident assistant found a shot glass, and later a beer can, in his room, and that he had been seen holding a beer can for a friend while the friend used the restroom.
Reading about that claim in a Kansan story brought back memories for the resident assistant on the other side of that incident. Since Wren didn't live on the RA's floor, the RA hadn't yet realized he wrote up the freshman whose death dominated newspaper headlines.
"I don't feel guilty about it at all, but I feel like a part of the chain of events that caused this to happen," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"I think I'll most remember when I got into grad school. What I want to most remember is why my education is important to me. I have something to do with my life now. I'm going somewhere. A step further - in a direction. I was worried about jobs and now with the grad program I got into, which is library science, I'll be able to get a better job in a very specific field.
Carly Washburn
Wichita graduate student "I helped bring in a speaker for the group I'm involved with, Intervarsity. So that was really an experience to actually practice bringing someone in and he spoke on the myth of moral neutrality. It's kind of, what the importance of morals are in our society in relation to faith and academia. I think it's interesting to see that sometimes our society is very much like,'whatever floats your boat, works for you.' It was interesting for me to hear that you could still have a moral stance while still being in a diverse society.

Overland Park senior "I want to remember I that came here and did what I was supposed to, or did what I planned on doing in the four years, which is really important to me. It seems really real and I feel like it's been forever. My time is up and I'm ready to move on. I'm definitely ready for the real world. I'm excited to get paid for all the hours I put in every day."

"I'd like to remember all of the new experiences I've made, and friends that I've made, and how much better my life has become after this first year at KU. I've learned a lot of new routes, which places to avoid, which ways to get to class quicker, what buildings are which, what kinds of classes to expect, the places in town that I know are good, places to eat. I'm just going to be that much more prepared for next year."
ERIC ROWLANDS Manhattan junior
"Probably filming the 'Gates of Summer', because that was really weird. It's a larping event and I went there to film it for documentary and that was pretty crazy. Larping is liveaction role-playing and so it was like 200 people who were dressed up like characters in costumes and battle armor and, and getting drunk and fighting each other."

University receives grants for digitization
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com
The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the University more than $245,000 in grants Thursday.
The money, awarded in grants to the Spencer Museum of Art and KU Libraries, will go to documenting historic collections at the University.
Spencer Museum of Art received $145,000 to integrate 9,000 objects of global art and culture. The grant will allow all the objects to be documented and assessed and will create new research opportunities, a news release said.
Around $70,000 will go KU Libraries for the cataloguing and digitization of material by John Gould. Gould is a 19th century British publisher of illustrated bird books. The grant money will allow access to approximately 6,300 Gould drawings and other items.
Police Chief Kevin Raney told the council his officers have raided 20 coffeehouses and confiscated 200 gambling machines.
The digitization process is intended to make the drawings accessible to scholars around the world.
ODD NEWS
The Orange County Register reported Wednesday that the City Council voted 4-0 to ban nudity, gambling and smoking in the sexy cafes.
More than three dozen of the coffeehouses are operating in the Orange County city of Garden Grove, and some waitresses have been slipping out of teddies to serve customers in the nude. Additionally, arcade machines have been rigged to be gambling machines.
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — Bare breasted baristas will have to cover up after police officers discovered nudity and illegal gambling going on at so-called lingerie cafes in a Southern California suburb.

Mississippi floodwaters force hundreds to flee
DISASTER
People used boats to navigate flooded streets as the crest rolled slowly downstream, bringing misery to poor, low-lying communities. Hundreds have left their homes in the Delta in the past several days as the water rose toward some of the highest levels on record.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENA LARA, Miss. — Floodwaters from the bloated Mississippi River and its tributaries spilled across farm fields, cut off churches, washed over roads and forced people from their homes Wednesday in the Mississippi Delta, a poverty-streken region.
The flood crest is expected to push past the Delta by late next week.
familiar to Civil War buffs, aficionados of the blues, and scholars of the civil rights era: Clarksdale Greenwood, Greenville and Yazoo City.
Officials in the town, which has no local newspaper or TV stations, tried to reassure residents that they are doing what they can to shore up the levee and that they will warn people if they need to leave.
While some farms in the cotton-, rice- and corn-growing Delta are prosperous, there is also grinding poverty. Nine of the 11 counties that touch the Mississippi River in Mississippi have poverty rates at least double the national average of 13.5 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour urged people to get out if they think there is even a chance their homes will flood. He said there is no reason to believe a levee on the Yazoo River would fail, but if it did, 107 feet of water would flow over small towns.
The Mississippi Delta, with a population of about 465,000, is a leaf-shaped expanse of rich soil between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers, extending about 200 miles from Memphis, Tenn., to Vicksburg, Miss. Along the way are towns whose names are
The governor said the state is asking local officials to get in touch with people who might have no electricity and phones and thus no way to get word of the flooding.

WREN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
He said during security rounds on the night he wrote Wren up, he came across a group of five to 10 people who did "the whole scatter thing." Then came his encounter with Wren, who he said was standing in the corner of the hallway holding a can behind his back.
"I said, 'Dude, what do you got?' he said.
The RA said Wren told him he was holding the beer can for a friend in the restroom. The RA replied that he would have to write him up anyway. He said he thought the can was Wren's, and either way, he seemed drunk.
"I wouldn't say he was screaming at me, but his voice was definitely elevated in frustration and anger," he said. This was the second semester, so his violations were adding up. "He knew he was in a lot of trouble at that point. So that probably added to his anger."
He said he wrote up Wren only once, but heard about him from the RA assigned to his floor. He heard that Wren was a genuinely nice guy.
"It was just that, whenever he got alcohol in his system, it just made him a different person," he said, "like it does with everybody."
Wren's trouble at Oliver highlights that his problem began before drinking at SAE, but it does beg the question of why the fraternity would welcome a new pledge with that history.
Reuben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said when he got the call informing him of Wren's death, he wanted to know why SAE accepted somebody who already had been kicked out of University housing for drinking.
"You know that we rarely remove people from KU housing at all — rarely," he said. "Didn't that send a red flag in somebody's mind?"
AFTER
Shortly after Wren's death, the national SAE fraternity said in a public statement that it had closed its investigation into the chapter and found no criminal actions or negligence by the organization, the chapter or its respective members that led to the death.
"We believe this is a very unfortunate, isolated incident" it said.
But the Wren family's lawsuit said SAE correspondence between the national fraternity and its
KU chapter showed numerous violations of rules and policies regarding underage consumption of alcohol and "providing alcohol to a visibly intoxicated member" on the night of Wren's death.
The lawsuit also said that as punishment for those violations, the KU chapter was required to pay an increased risk management (insurance) premium and was strongly encouraged to implement at least one semester of alcohol-free living.
The house hosted an alcohol-free concert a month and a half after Wren's death, and Jay Wren publicly asked for SAE to become an alcohol-free fraternity in memory of his son. The fraternity did later change some alcohol regulations, but it still allows alcohol in the house.
In a deposition in the Wren lawsuit, Frank Ginocchio, the general counsel and director of risk management for the national fraternity, said that about two years before Wren's death the national fraternity considered, but voted down, a ban on alcohol
ban on alcohol consumption.
Ginocchio said he recommended the KU chapter become a dry house after Wren's death. He said he spoke directly to John Stacy, president of the KU SAE house corpo-
Alan Fischer, KU SAE president, and Chaz Rumage, organizer of the second Jason Wren Initiative and a former KU SAE officer, agreed to be interviewed for this story but backed out when Stacy, the chapter adviser, told them that after the settlement they couldn't publicly comment on Wren or the Wren Initiative, despite previous interviews with the media.
the adviser board for KU SAE, but she expected it to go further.
"Our legal counsel advised us not to comment on the Jason Wren case, or events surrounding the case," Kristin Wing, chair of the KU SAE adviser board, wrote in an email.
"If it's under the heading of Jason Wren, we don't talk about that," Stacy explained, speaking for the KU SAE chapter and its house corporation.
SAE national officials failed to respond for comment to requests for interviews.
Jay Wren said it was a mistake for him to allow his son to live in a house with drinking, and he's outspoken against underage members of any fraternity living in a house where alcohol is openly served.
"You know that we rarely remove someone from KU housing at all — rarely. Didn't that send a red flag in somebody's mind?"
REUBEN PEREZ
Director of the Student
Involvement and Leadership Cent
While the Wren family lawyer, Steve Gorny, said the settlement forbade further release of testimony in the depositions, one of his early filings quoted Ginocchio as saying SAE chose not to ban alcohol "in part because it was too harsh of a punishment and out of concern that the collegiate members would choose to rent another property and the House Corp. would lose its tenants."
"They didn't feel it was the right thing to do at the time," Ginocchio said. "I think they felt that their efforts educationally and in the memorial service would be enough."
ration and adviser to the chapter.
With an undisclosed amount of damages at stake, he no longer criticizes SAE, aside from his desire to have SAE become an alcohol-free house.
SAE did commit to hosting the Jason Wren Initiative for six years, including the two already past, according to Kristin Wing, chair of
"The contract with SAE said that
it didn't allow underage drinking in the house," he said in an email, "and I believe they are now enforcing that clause as there were many students expelled out of the house last spring. I'm very pleased to see this change."
"It's my hope that SAE KU continues to carry on this initiative and that the house decides to eventually one day be dry and thrive, alcohol free," he wrote.
He also said he was pleased that SAE was continuing the Jason Wren Initiative.
Despite the house's educational efforts, KU SAF was stued again.
Just six days before the debut of the Jason Wren Initiative, the national SAE fraternity said its KU chapter violated alcohol policies, first by buying alcohol with chapter
funds, then by supplying it to underage pledges. As a result, 22 active members were expelled from the house.
NO UNIVERSITY PUNISHMENT
A young man died after a night of too much drinking when no one in the SAE house called for help.
Within a month, the university he attended shut down the chapter for at least five years. Members had less than two weeks to vacate the SAE house.
When you telephone the house now, you hear this: "The number you have dialed is not in service."
But that student wasn't Jason Wren. His name was George Dcdisnes. He attended Cornell University and died in February.
Officials from both Cornell and the University of Kansas caution against direct comparisons, given the differences — the University of Kansas is public. Cornell is private; Kansas is in the Midwest. Cornell is an Ivy League school in New York.
Travis Apgar, associate dean of students at Cornell, said in an email that Cornell SAE was in a school-owned house, but that is not what allowed the university to ban them for five years. Rather, Cornell uses a recognition policy with fraternities. Greek houses recognized as university organizations are subject to Cornell rules and punishment when rules are broken — whether they are on-campus or off-campus, in a university-owned house or otherwise.
The University of Kansas has no such policy. All Greek houses at the University are off-campus on private property. Many, such as SAE, are owned by a corporation board that oversees the chapter.
From the University's perspective, a fraternity is simply one of the 637 student organizations registered. It can only face punishment for things that happen at its official events. Hazing is the only violation the University can look at when it's off-campus.
The University investigated SAE for hazing but did not impose sanctions.
"The other factor that is significant to the discussion is whether or not it was an official function," Marles Roney, vice provost for student success, said.
Days before any event, a Greek chapter must submit a form to the University, specifying a guest list, availability of alcohol, security and safe transportation. SAE did not file
In the two years since Wren's death:
wren's family sued the KU SAE chapter, 10 of its members, the corporation board that owns the house and the national SAE fraternity. The lawsuit was settled last week and the settlement forbids either side from disclosing details, such as the amount of money awarded to the Wrons.
The tragedy that began with Jason's death continued with the suicides of his younger sister and mother. His older sister and father are the only living immediate family members.
Lawrence police investigated but filed no criminal charges. The University investigated for possible hazing but didn't punish the chapter. The national fraternity investigated but said it didn't find evidence of criminal actions, while the Wren family lawsuit insisted that it did.
The KU SAE chapter agreed to host the Jason Wren Initiative for six years. It's an annual program where speakers discuss alcohol abuse. But six days before the first one in April 2010, the national SAE fraternity busted its KU chapter for supplying its underage members with alcohol and expelled 22 active members.
The University has changed its policies: it now notifies parents when students have alcohol- or drug-related violations, requires incoming students under 22 to complete an online alcohol education course before they can enroll, eliminates campus chalking by bars and others who are not registered with the University, has an amnesty policy for underage students that allows them to avoid punishment for drinking when they call for help and introduced a new responsible-drinking campaign for students.
The joint alcohol policy of the KU Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association — the umbrella organizations for most KU Greek chapters — remains unchanged.
such a form for the night of Wren's death, so the University didn't consider it an official function.
"Unfortunately, the media — back when this hit — didn't care to know the difference between a registered chapter event and a bunch of students hanging out," said Reuben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, which oversees the Greek Life office. "That particular night, most of the chapter wasn't even present."
Roney said that if a fraternity didn't file the form for a planned event, the University could still investigate whether the event appeared to be sponsored by the fraternity — and therefore, an official function subject to rules.
"I know, in the eyes of the world, it was like we were trying to cover something" he said.
"Everything we were able to learn about what happened that night at SAE was that there was no official function going on," she said. "It was just an individual or two, sitting around drinking."
Although Wren did not die during an official function, in January 2010 then-IFC president Jake Droge told The Kansan changes
Amy Long, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said Monday the changes made were only grammatical in nature.
"The document is currently under review for the future, as is good practice, and we anticipate changes in the near future," she wrote in an email.
J. M. Angotti, IFC vice president of risk management, said in a statement, "Both IFC / PHA councils and the advisors understand that the Joint Alcohol Policy needs to be changed and are currently working to re-write the document."
As late as a month ago, the posted policy was dated 2007. After officials of both organizations were questioned for this story about promised changes, a new policy was posted online and backdated to March 23, 2010.

Wren was a freshman at the University of Kansas when he was kicked out of his dormitory, Oliver Hall, for repeatedly violating the University's alcohol policy. Because it was mid-semester Wren had no where to live. Through a friend, Wren was able to pledge the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and immediately move into the Chapter House", a lawyer for SAE wrote in a court filing.
Jason Wren was found dead around 2 p.m. in the SAE fraternity house. According to his autopsy report, his blood alcohol concentration was .362 when he died more than four times the state's legal limit to drive,.08, for people over 21.

Relevant organizations in Greek Life
Interfraternity Council (IFC): The governing board for 21 fraternities, most of the fraternities at KU. It is composed of members from various fraternities, and every fraternity has a representative vote in decisions. It can sanction fraternities for IFC policy violations.
Panhellenic Association (PHA): The sorority counterpart to the IFC, the PHA is the governing board for 13 sororites, most of the sororities at KU. The IFC and PHA have joint meetings every semester, and the two organizations have a joint alcohol policy that all IFC and PHA organizations must follow.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon: The national fraternity was founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama. It is the largest social fraternity in North America with more than 280,000 initiated members.
KU SAE: The KU chapter of the national SAE fraternity. Jason Wren, a plaque, was found dead in the chapter house. The house, located at 1301 West Campus Road, is owned by the Kansas Alpha House Corp., which also advises fraternity members.

GREEK LEGAL LIABILITY
He was a prosecutor before he became the chief national executive of his fraternity, Theta Chi. And he's been the director of policy interpretation at the Fraternal Information and Programming Group — a non-profit fraternity insurance advising group — since 1995.
Dave Westol, a national expert on fraternities and their legal liabilities, has experience with prosecutions and lawsuits.
During his 18 years as Theta Chi CEO, Westol had members die and he suspended chapters for bad choices. He knows it doesn't take much to get sued.
"I told our men, 'six or more, it's going to be an event," Westol said.
Westol speaks from the fraternity's perspective, as in trying to avoid lawsuits. The more it looks like the fraternity was involved
If you've got alcohol, and there more than a few people, it's going to be a chapter event, whether you like it or not."
The Wren family's lawyer, Steve Gorny, made a compelling enough case that SAE and its lawyers were willing to settle. But under the terms of the agreement nobody can publicly say how much the Wrens received in the settlement.
— which might mean a larger number of members present — the worse it is for them legally. While the University didn't punish SAE after looking at the drinking surrounding Wren's death, his family could and did sue
In most cases, the chapter's liability insurance, which would pay any settlements or judgments, is attained by the national fraternity. The national SAE fraternity is insured through James R. Favor and Company, based in Denver.
According to its website, the company was bought in 2006 by several national fraternities. One of them was Sigma Alpha Epsilon Financial & Housing Corporation.
Samantha Davis, who used to be her sorority's social chair and vice president of risk management, said that parties at KU could be exhausting to plan — she had to account for her chapter's rules, the PHAs
rules, and her national sorority's rules at once — but that she was reminded by Panhellenic Association officials that legal liability didn't end there.
She said regulations for official functions could be difficult to follow. She gave the example of a sorority hosting an event at a bar on Massachusetts Street, while following the IFC and PHA requirement that the host chapter provide transportation to and from its event.
"If it wasn't a sorority function, but a bunch of us went to a bar together, and something bad happened to one of the girls." Davis said, "all it would take is one of the girls' parents to get the national sorority involved, because she was with all her friends from the sorority."
"You're not allowed to drive and meet us later, because that's a liability. And you can't leave with anyone else."
"Think twice about it and ask yourself, 'How do I want this to play out?'"

Davis said.
"People want to walk down the street, but you can't let them. You have to drive back to the house, and then drive back to Mass.
if you want to do that."
Westol said taking on a Greek affiliation meant additional responsibilities and legal liabilities. "That's one of the things you give up" when you join a fraternity, Westol said. "You have to follow the policy. Now if you don't want that, drop out of your organization, be released from your vows, and you can have all the keg parties you want and nobody's going to care."
POLICY CHANGES
In the two years since Wren's death, the University has made several policy changes.
"I think the University focused even more closely on alcohol after Jason Wren passed away," Roney said. "It gave us a sense of urgency — we really need to address this now."
Underthenewrules,iftheUniversity becomes aware of an alcohol- or drug-related violation through official notification, such as a police report, it notifies the parents of the student. The Department of Student Housing will now notify parents when a student's housing contract is canceled because of alcohol or drug violations, which was not policy when Wren was kicked out of University housing.
"I don't think anyone's going to say, Oh, I loved taking it," Roney said. "But there is national research that shows that it is one of the best tools available, other than one-on-one counseling."
Additionally, incoming students under the age of 22 must take AlcoholEdu, an online alcohol education course, before they can enroll in classes.
The University also enacted an amnesty policy for underage students. They will not be punished for drinking when they call for help, either for themselves or for a friend.
"If you do the right thing and get help, then we're not going to come after you," Roney said. "For some students, that can be a deterrent. We wanted to take that off the table."
The University now bans campus sidewalk chalking by entities not registered with the University.
"The only reason we changed the chalking policy was we were trying to stop the bars from chalking on campus," Perez said.
"It reduces access to students" he said.
He said it was part of the University's effort to reduce the presence of alcohol.
For when students decide to be in the presence of alcohol, the University has established a new responsible-drinking campaign for its students called the Jayhawk Buddy System. It focuses on students sticking together when they drink, making sure that everyone is safe.
"We are firm believers that when Jayhawks take care of each other," Roney said, "that will make a big difference."
In February, during a timeout in the men's basketball game against the University of Missouri, a full section of students performed a flash mob, breaking out into a choreographed dance for a minute and a half, and then took off their shirts to reveal red Jayhawk Buddy System shirts.
It drew thunderous applause at Allen Fieldhouse. The YouTube video of it, posted by Kansas Athletics, Inc., received more than 300,000 hits.
The second Jason Wren Initiative in April ended with KU SAE members handing out items with the Jayhawk Buddy System logo: a string-pull backpack, a koozie, a cup, a bottle opener with a small light, a poster and a business card holder with a SafeRide card inside.

Jason Wren through the eyes of a fraternity brother
An excerpt from the article "A staggering tragedy" by reporter Alex Garrison in April 28, $ 200^{0} $
"Every time I hear somebody say he had a drinking problem, I just want to scream because Jason Wren did not have a drinking problem," the 2009 SAE freshman said on the condition of anonymity.
He said he felt people looked for a simple answer to Jason's death, but that it was an "unfortunate accident" — the result of the kind of drinking that was common at the University.
"People want to blame the fraternity, people want to blame him, but it's not that at all — it's
just college," the freshman said. "We drink. You binge drink, you drink to get drunk. It's what I do, that's what everybody does, that's what Jason did."
He said Jason did not have a problem because he did not need to drink but rather chose to drink because of the culture.
"By the books, yes, he had a drinking problem," he said. "I mean, I have a drinking problem. Every single kid here probably has a drinking problem."
KU SAE officer who helped organize this year's Jason Wren Initiative, asked the crowd some tense questions last month as he introduced the event's speaker.
"How many times have you gone out to get blackout drunk? How many times have you carried a friend home from the bar? Did you ever laugh at him, put him to bed, and say 'He's going to feel that'
tomorrow?
"These are all things we thought the night Jason passed away," Rumage said. "Think twice about it and ask yourself, 'How do I want this to play out?'"
He paused.
"So, the serious part being said,
"We all like to have fun, and we all like to drink, and the reason we're here is not to tell you 'Don't drink.' The reason we're here is to tell you to drink responsibly."
we're also here to have a good time." He flipped on a pair of sunglasses, black with neon orange framing. The audience snapped to life, laughing.
The second Wren Initiative highlighted the prickly issues in trying to reach college students — especially the underaged — with responsible-drinking messages.
One can point to Wren's death and say it means that underage drinking shouldn't be tolerated. Another can say it means that the underaged need the most help with safe-drinking education.
"Why do we let our children, underage, sleep in a house that has open alcohol and no adult supervision? It was the biggest mistake in my life.
MARLESA RONEY
Vice provost for student success
"Sometimes I feel like our hands are tied behind us because we know what's happening,but we can't really deal with it."
one of his online comments reacting to stories about Jason's death, calling himself "DenverDad" on kansan.com, he wrote:
"The law doesn't allow anyone under 21 to be in bars after 10 p.m., but
"YES, I made mistake of going to bar with my son the weekend before he died, the weekend I helped him move. YES, I made an error in judgment that it would be okay for Jason to be in a fraternity ...
Before his son's death, Jay Wren admitted that he knew Jason drank. In
Jay Wren said then he is against 21-year-old students and underage students living under the same roof in University housing and at fraternities.
it's OK for them to be in 'sleeping bars' called fraternities?
"I have not had a drink since the day I heard of Jason's death. Why can't fraternities change? Why can't the University change?"
While Perez doesn't draw the line at 21, he does think freshmen shouldn't live in fraternities.
"I think that's a mistake," he said.
"The Greeks know I think that, and I'm not popular with that view. The women don't allow it, and they're doing very, very well."
Regardless of Greek involvement, the underage question can get complicated for the University.
Roney said, "I am unable, as a University administrator, to design programs that focus on healthy alcohol
— and Greek liability in general: no in-house alcohol, and maybe even no in-house parties.
She used to be an officer for a sorority's corporation board, and said she would be "very, very reluctant" to serve as a corporation board officer for any house that allowed alcohol.
"From a risk management perspective, that just amazes me," Roney said.
consumption for students under 21, because if I do that, I'm encouraging people to break the law. Sometimes I feel like our hands are tied behind us because we know what's happening, but we can't really deal with it."
Perez said more national fraternities are banning house parties.
University officials have suggested one idea for Greek underage drinking
All of KU's sorority houses are dry. Most fraternity houses are not.
But only a fraternity, its corporation board, or the national fraternity has the power to change a house's alcohol rules. The University and its officials don't.
"If we had a no-party-in-house community, I'd be thrilled," he said. "I'm good with that."
AN INFLUENTIAL DEATH
Jason Wren's death shook his family, SAE, the Greek community and the University. After his death, his 16-year-old sister, Victoria, and mother, Mary, both committed suicide. The Greek community is still trying to adapt its policies. The University introduced more alcohol education and awareness. Maybe these changes will save a life. Maybe these changes aren't enough. For Jason Wren, changes don't matter.

Study: KU students drink more than average American college student

It found that 21 percent of KU students reported drinking five or more drinks at once, three to five times within the previous two weeks...

I really wish my parents would cheer "One more year!" for me like we do for the basketball players. I don't want to graduate yet!

When I can see both of your butt cheeks as you walk up the stairs in front of me, your shorts are too short.
My professor has incorrectly changed "affect" to "effect" in THREE different papers. The effect of your stupidity is affecting my grade, (bad sentence, but correct usage).
Gentlemen, I understand that the third floor bathrooms in Strong are warm, but for the love of your fellow students casing the stairwell, PLEASE close the door — the aroma is ferocious!
Dear SUA: Best idea EVER: Hire a massusee or two for the entire finals week and have them offer five-minute massages in the libraries.
Creeper in Anschutz is on AdultFriendFinder like it's no big deal.
Even though I look ridiculous, wearing my graduation cap as I sit on my couch in my pajamas and do copious amounts of homework really is helping me push through these final moments of intense senioritis.
I'm going to be out of town for Stop Day, feels like I am missing the college version of Christmas.
Student evaluations are the students' way of getting back at professors that have put them through hell all semester.
Couldn't decide whether or not I was excited for the school year to end until my roommate walked in ... I'm definitely excited now!
I am only allowed to open one gift on Stop Day eve ... Luckily all I asked for was alcohol.
Thanks Glee, just as the Rebecca Black phase started to wear off you made it cool again!
I got in the Free For All today and I can no longer focus on homework because I just want more anonymous fame.
Dear dumb students. You are in Kansas, when it's 90 degrees outside you don't wear jeans and a parka.
Friday on Glee = Crap on Crap.
This stress is killing me, times like these I wish I was a pothead.
Tonight, we dine in hell, for finals are upon us. Good luck, my brethren.
Procrastination seems to ease the fear of my looming finals.
After spending 45 minutes trying to figure out where and how to write on this, I forgot what I had to say.
"I flag" every Facebook comment that uses a hashtag, unless it says "connected via Twitter."
Things get loco when i fiesta. Things

I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't go to KU.
As my sentence with this newspaper comes to a close, I've found myself reflecting on just how I ended up here in the first place.
Turning panda lungs into literary gold just part of living the life
HUMOR
Back in 2008, I was convicted of helping my evil twin, Fernando, sell a batch of endangered panda lungs to a black market organ dealer. Since all I did was take the box of panda lungs to FedEx (Fernando had told me the package was a collection of Beanie Babies he had sold on eBay), I got off easy. The judge ordered that I do three years of community service. After explaining to the judge that I couldn't perform manual labor because of my chronic not-wanting-to, he instead instructed that I do something to help the sick, the infirm, the near-death. So, I decided to volunteer in the field of print journalism.
The only problem with this plan was that I was wholly unqualified to be a journalist. I couldn't be a reporter, because they have to go out and
PETER TYLSON
BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com
interview people and do research and the thought of that makes my notwanting-to flare up. And I couldn't be an editor, because they have to do whatever it is editors do, which is probably a lot. I needed something that would allow me to make stuff up and pass it off as "opinion." Something that wouldn't require any qualifications whatsoever. And so, after laboriously searching through the want ads, I finally found the perfect job: opinion columnist for The University Daily Kansan.
The editors at the time were impressed with my passion for misinformation and my ability to write 500 words without fainting, so they hired me right away. At first they were baffled by my insistence that I be unpaid, but then they liked not paying me so much that they extended the policy to the rest of the opinion staff. (Sorry, guys!)
That first semester was rough. I was writing simply to fulfill my requirement, and as a result the work suffered. For example, I wrote a scathing piece about some dumb Facebook movie that Aaron Sorkin was writing at the time. (The movie turned out to be pretty OK.) I wrote a few other columns about stuff nobody really cared about. Things were bleak, but I stuck with it.
As I continued to write, I started becoming more passionate about it. It was no longer just about the court order. It was about the people. Folks started to recognize me on campus, with
praise ranging from "You write for the newspaper?" to "OK, I get it, you write for the newspaper. Now leave me alone."
And now, in writing my last column, I realize that FedExing those panda lungs was the best thing I ever did. The highs and lows of writing for this page made for a truly enriching experience. If you have a passion for writing (or a few hundred hours of community service to do), you should definitely apply. Just be prepared to hate that one-sixth of the page is wasted on a collection of crappy Facebook statuses. And get ready to receive only the most inane/ insane comments on the online versions of your columns. Don't worry, though — the fun you have in the process will make up for it.
Goodbye, University Daily Kansan.
You were worth every lung.

HUMOR
To change from the world's worst teen to slightly-less-worse adult, start a blog
My mom is a total buzzkill, y'all. She's always encouraging me to do things and acting like I'm all awesome, and frankly, it is really starting to annoy me. Doesn't she understand that I want to squander my potential by watching "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and tweeting about how I'm pretty sure Salem acts the way he does because after he was turned into a cat he went extremely insane and we all laugh at it like that's not what's going on?
I try to explain to her that my "Sabrina" theories are my livelihood (I have many...)
MARVIN ROBBINS
— yknow, the kinda livelihood that involves eating ramen straight out of the packaging (if you put the chicken powder junk on top, it's pretty tasty) and complaining about how much more awesome my television adaptation of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" would be if only I were magically given a chance. Also, it's hard to care about things that matter.
Apathy! We're all pretty good at it! Let's play 9 billion hours of that zombies thing in "Call of Duty" and/or download No Doubt's entire discography and listen to it for no particular reason. Screw the future! Laugh at that jerk-with-your-name's face from the future for how many hours he's gonna have to work at Wendy's a week to pay off those student loans. Stay at
BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL
carmichael@kansan.com
But, wait! Maybe, my mother is right. Because the effects of those causes all involve me selling Wendy's Natural Cut/Chemical Laden fries and Sarah Palin wearing a moose fur to her inaugural ball. Maybe it doesn't really matter how weird (and worse than terrible) that last season of "Sabrina" is. I mean, the future is a thing, right? If my mom's calculations are correct, the best way to combat apathy is by actually doing something. So, I guess we should all do something, son.
home on election day — unless that voter's box somehow magically turns into that box of Cheez Its you were going to eat.
My mom has made some pretty ridiculous suggestions — one time she told me to write a Lifetime movie ("Because somebody writes all of those, and they have to be making a ton of money, right?") and when I was a sophomore in high school she told me I should write a "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"
episode about a murderer who kills their victim with fireworks (CLOSE-UP SHOT OF CHARRED SKIN). However, on the occasion she'll make some pretty rad suggestions that are hard for me to mock. She keeps telling me I should start a blog.
So, I guess I will, America (if you are cool you just read that sentence in Bernie Mac's voice). According to all of those blogs, blogging is awesome, and why would blogs lie about blogs? Blog. And my mom is right — all of our moms are right! We should get some experience — at least try to do something productive, so we can really complain if we get stuck flipping those weird square hamburger patties (Wendy's freaks me out, guys).
After all, if there's one thing "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" has taught me it's that with a little care and work, you can go from being the world's worst teenage witch to the slightly-less-worse adult witch. If you want to check out my blog (which will be hilarious), follow me at salemisinsane.tumblr.com. It will be a funny summer, y'all! To you stinkers: SEE YA NEXT SEMESTER!

LOCAL CULTURE
There is no need to keep Lawrence weird
Austin is to Texas as Lawrence is to Kansas. A blue dot on a red map, with a live music scene and state university — the analogy appeared to strike a sudden grave familiarity with Illinoisans, so I adopted the tired response the way a local would recommend a fish house.
I'll just use the text as it is.
Having been a part of the colloquialism then, I shouldn't be surprised local stores have begun selling shirts emblazoned with "Keep Lawrence Weird." A play-off of "Keep Austin Weird," the battle cry of the more loveable Texan preservationist, its immediate comparison seems too convenient now it been slapped across a white tee.
In the hypothetical hierarchy of liberal college towns (a haphazard ranking based on the likelihood of passing through endless blocks smelling of incense and damp hammocks), Lawrence falls into a lower spot on the upper wrung. Mecca is Berkeley, Calif., a city upon a hill for people who deconstruct the city upon a hill model
BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA
mmarsaglia@ekansan.com
while roaring around the paved edge of a precipice pockmarked by free-solo climbers and sun-drunk seagulls. Nearby, Boulder, Eugene, Portland and Austin compete passive-aggressively for runner-up spots; while in the east, Madison and Providence struggle with the question of whether or not to wear shoes: the decision demarcating hippies from hipsters, genuine from gentrified.
Between these cities, of course, in the middle of the country as every foreigner loves to point out, is Kansas
— a state occupying another hier-
archy of things that aren't sex. Like
Chris Mullin on the '92 Dream Team, Lawrence holds a deserved, albeit reserved presence amongst America's best enclaves for immaterial-driven dreamers. But aside from a consistent jumper and being a good listener, Chris Mullins had as much appeal in '92 as a Sade CD bought on layaway. Berkler has more Olympians than deep fryers. Austin rumbles like the saloon of a perpetual boomtown, and Berkley's a familiar folk song spread across a fault line. Lawrence just has a jump shot and a few good people to hear you out.
And to a sentimental senior, that's the appeal of Lawrence — it's sexy in a uniquely Kansan way. There's just enough organic ice cream on the cherry pie.
Compared to said cities, Lawrence has normalcy, not in the pejorative sense, but in the sense that Lawrence exists more as a real place because it's not caked in its own quintisternality. Unlike the way large cities and small towns signify themselves with certain
icons, impressions, attractions or possession of the world's largest things. Lawrence is not a basketball town the way Hannibal is a town memorizing its master.
For a mid-sized city, Lawrence represents the diversity within the body of the bell curve. People have normal, run-of-the-mill lives here, which outsiders might consider more boring than other liberal college towns. But until you're surrounded by people that are so buoyed into a subculture of a culture that is that city, it'll be a treat to see a chubby father in socks and sandals buying a banana split for his conventionally named child. You get these Rockwellian scenes in Lawrence because it's an hour deep into the middle child of fly-over states, and ultimately it's the location that preserves the progressive normalcy. Until this changes, we wont need a slogan other than the chant we already have.

Post-spring depth chart released
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
KANSAS KANSAS
Kansas football released its post-spring depth chart Wednesday afternoon, naming Jordan Webb the starting quarterback heading into fall practices. James Sims is listed as the starting running back with true freshman Darrian Miller as the backup. Christian Mathews and Daymond Patterson were also named starting wide receivers.
Jordan Webb, who played at quarterback in the 2010 season, was named starting quarterback heading into fall practices. James Sims will be the starting running back with Christian Matthews and Daymond Patterson heading the receiving corps.
The defense will run a 4-3 base, with four defensive linemen and three linebackers. Among the starting linebackers is Hulden Tharp, who missed all of last season after suffering a leg injury in training camp. Keeston Terry and Bradley McDougal will pair up as starting safeties, and former running back turned linebacker Toben Opurum is currently starting at defensive end alongside Keba Agostinho.

James leads Heat against Celtics
ASSOCIATED PRECE
No more.
MIAMI — Behind Boston much of the season. Behind Boston much of the game.
Not only has the Miami Heat caught the Celtics — they have officially gone past them, and into the Eastern Conference finals.
Vanquishing the team they couldn't beat for so long with a 16-0 run to end the game, Dwyane Wade scored 34 points, LeBron James put the Heat up for good with a 3-pointer with 2:10 left on the way to a 33-point effort, and Miami topped Boston 97-87 to win their East semifinal series Wednesday night in five games.
James added a game-sealing more aptly, a series-sealing
A steal and two-handed slam 6 seconds later for good measure, followed by a Celtics turnover, got the party started. It was over, the Heat and Celtics knew it, and Boston coach Doc Rivers stood silently near the bench, his arms folded across his chest as James ran down the clock on Miami's final offensive possession of the series.
- 3-pointer with 40.4 seconds left, then turned and posed for some fans who screamed in delight.
Of course, he scored.
wade was knocked over into some courtside seats trying to snare the final rebound, but that only prolonged the moment. James knelt in prayer for several seconds, then ran over to wrap Wade in a long embrace as the fans screamed loudly.
Boston was done, thoroughly worn down by a younger, more athletic opponent. The Celtics won the first three meetings between the clubs this season, then lost five of the final six.
This is why he stayed in Miami, while James and Chris Bosh came to Miami, to chase a championship.
They're halfway there. Next up for Miami; Either Chicago or Atlanta, in a series that may start as early as Sunday. Chicago leads the series 3-2.
"It's a great team," James said of Boston in the on-court celebration. "Like I said, I got the utmost respect for that team. They're the reason why all three of us came together, is because of what they did, that blueprint they had in '08 when they all came together. So it's a great team win and get ready for our next opponent."
Bosh finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds, including head-faking his way past Kevin Garnett for a game-tying dunk with 2:57 left.
The rest was up to James.
He scored the game's final 10 points, putting to rest talk that he couldn't be effective late in games.

All year long I've been writing about other people and their pursuit of physical perfection, and I've honestly let my own physicality slip a little. I used to run eight miles a day and now I can barely suffer through three.
When I'm out there in the bitter heat sweating through my tank top, blisters forming on my blisters and gnats getting stuck in my teeth I wonder why I'm doing this. I'm not ever going to be as fast as Jamaal Charles or have Lebron James' mad ups and I will probably never fit into a size 2.

It's not about fanfare. It's about the self fulfillment and a kind of peace you get when you've finished your workout. Your mind is alert, your face is flushed, and honestly no amount of homework could be worse than the hell you just put yourself through.
In this week of stress and doubt, it is important to give your body the release it needs. Exercise is a break from the stale lights of the library and the tiny text of your stats book. At the time it may seem like an extra chore and there may not be a crowded Allen Fieldhouse to cheer you on. But by
And it's not just me that thinks that. Various studies have shown that exercise, unlike alcohol or sugary junk food, does heighten brain function and can help you study. I'm not saying that if you run a mile before your physics test it will guarantee you an A, but after long hours spent in the library it couldn't hurt.
the end of the workout you will have a brain surging with blood, endorphins, and energy after some much needed time away from your flashcards.

Do you know who replaced Dan Marino as starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins? What about the successor to John Wooden, the hall of fame coach at UCLA? Or Bobby Knight's replacement at Indiana? It's hard replacing legends. It doesn't seem to matter if that legend is a player or coach, amateur or professional. With few exceptions, that next guy becomes an afterthought, a small blip on the collective radar of sports history.
In 2003, Bill Self seemed up for the challenge, leaving Champagne, Ill. for Lawrence after Roy Williams went home to North Carolina. Self's resume was impressive, but he was replacing a legend, and there was definite uncertainty about whether he could continue the success of the Roy Williams era. In 2004, with a roster nearly filled with Williams' players, (a team coming off a national title game appearance) Self had his worst conference season yet at Kansas.
He finished second.
Bill Self has won the Big 12 conference championship every year since.
The Big 12 has had some really good teams in that seven year span. A couple of NBA All-Stars (Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin) couldn't top Kansas. Neither could a top five team named Kansas State this past season. Whether he was the pre-season underdog like last fall or he lost six of his best players to the professional ranks, it hasn't seemed to affect Self. He keeps collecting Big 12 championship trophies.
MAJOR DECISIONS
Although not as dramatic as the mass exodus of players in 2008, the roster shakeup this off-season has reverberated throughout college basketball. Tyrel Reed, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little graduated. The Morris twins, along with freshman Josh Selby, who never really found a role in the Kansas system, left early to enter the NBA draft. Nonetheless, he has some all-world talent that would have been put to good use next season
And similar to the 2009 season, people are questioning whether Self can continue his Big 12 dominance. Future NBA All-Star Blake Griffin had a fine Oklahoma team that year, but it didn't matter. The Sooners lost the conference race by one game, giving Self another Big 12 title.
- Edited by Danielle Packer
Sitting today with a good but-not-great recruiting class and a bevy of key players gone from last year's team, the consensus from fans and talking heads seems to be the same: 2011 is finally the year Self could have a 'down' year and — gasp — not win the conference. On one hand, it's hard not to blame them. Kansas is thin in the post, with only Thomas Robinson returning with major minutes from last season. There doesn't seem to be any legitimate three-point threats after the departures of Reed, Morningstar, Selby and the twins. So, the skepticism is warranted. The sheer dominance has to end sometime.
But when a coin lands on heads seven straight times, are you really going to bet on tails?
However, Self has become somewhat of an expert at landing big-time recruits late in the spring signing period (see Xavier Henry in 2009 and Josh Selby last year). This year looks to be the same, with Kansas still in the mix for five-star wing Deandre Daniels, four-star guard Trevor Lacey, as well as a few others. Self might land one or none, it's hard to tell right now. Betting against self seems futile at this point.
The skeptics are right. The streak of conference championships will end sooner or later, and that may very well be next season.

Junior first baseman Zac Eloe plowed for the Oakland Athletics right out of high school. He opted not to stay a part of the Athletics and instead came to KU to improve his draft stock.

For Elgie, emphasis on education
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Zac Elgie remembers the morning of June 6, 2008, like it happened yesterday. Perhaps because, to date, it was the biggest moment in his life.
With the 364th overall pick in the '08 MLB Draft, the Oakland Athletics had selected Elgie, the 18-year-old first baseman from Minot High School, in Minot, N.D., and suddenly Elgie faced more complicated decisions than the average high school senior was expected to encounter.
At the time of his selection, Eligie had just woken up and was in the middle of a shower when he heard someone banging on the bathroom door, followed by the sound of his mother's excited voice.
Tammy Elgie was dialed in, ensuring that she was able to
catch each selection as it was announced. After all of the hard work that her son had put into baseball, she wouldn't miss out on the moment where his dreams were realized.
Elgie's assistant high school coach — who also doubled as a scout for the Phillies — kept tabs on the high school star, and made sure that Philadelphia checked him out as his high
When Elgie found out he was drafted, his mind raced toward the east coast and the visions of himself donning a Phillies jersey cluttered his head.
"When she started screaming, I was like this is pretty amazing. I was coming out of high school, getting drafted, and having a chance to play in the minor leagues, and then reaching my goal of playing professional," Elgie said.
Zac was ecstatic.
With Elgie gearing up to head to the Phillies, the last thing he expected was to be drafted out west.
The first concrete inkling that Elgie had of being taken by the As came on June 5,2008 — the night before Elgie would eventually be drafted in the 12th round.
Elgie even had a successful interview with Jerry Lafferty, a super-scout credited with discovering Ryan Howard.
After the first six rounds of the draft had been completed on June 5, an Oakland scout who had seen him play earlier that week contacted Elgie.
Of all the teams that had been scouting him, Elgie communicated most with the Phillies.
"The Philies and I seemed to click real well." Elgie said.
school days began to dwindle.
The scout had only one question for Elgiz Are you serious about wanting to play baseball?
Elgie didn't hesitate to answer.
"Yes, I'm ready," Elgie said to the scout. "It's always been my goal to play in the majors, I'm ready for it."
getting an education, Elgie took the latter.
Hours later, Zac Elgie became the newest member of the Oakland Athletics.
With the chance to go play minor league ball and get a head start on his career, Elgie opted not to stay a part of the Athletics. Before the draft, Elgie had his sights set on attending the University of Kansas. When it came down to going pro or
Both of Elgie's parents, who had attended college, expressed to Zac that there was no way to put a monetary value on the college experience.
To Elgie, it didn't matter that he wasn't going to be a member of the Phillies. The fact that his name was called consumed him. He would now be able to say that he had a chance to go to the Maiors.
Armed with the knowledge that he would be unable to be redrafted for another three years Elgie decided to come to KU to work on his game, and improve his draft stock.
Elgie, like five other current Jayhawks — Alex Cox, Ka'iana Eldredge, Kevin Kuntz, Wally Marceli, and T.J. Walz — had a shot to realize his childhood dreams, and decided to hold off
For Elgie, there are no regrets.
"I'm living the dream here at Kansas," Elgie said.

Jayhawks have a crucial weekend of play ahead
CLEVELAND
Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Junior pinch hitter Chris Manship connects for a RBI single Friday against Texas. Kansas lost the game 9-1.
BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Senior pitcher T.J. Walz will step onto the turf Friday night at Hoglund Ballpark pitching for his 26th career win as a Jayhawk. A win for Walz would tie the all-time Kansas baseball record for wins in a career. His big night could come at the perfect time for Kansas when they play the Alabama A&M Bulldogs.
With only two weekends left in their regular season, the Jayhawks are in a battle with Kansas State for the last spot in the Big 12 tournament. Both teams will have to wait though, as the Jayhawks and Wildcats will both take on non-conference opponents this weekend.
Coming off six straight losses, the Jayhawks (22-27, 9-15) will have a recovery weekend of sorts, in their four game series in Lawrence against Alabama A&M (10-33, 6-17).
"I hope we get some momentum back in our dugout after the devastating last couple of weekends we've had," coach Ritch Price said. "We can get the guys feeling good about themselves, get the swagger back in our dugout, and gain some
momentum for the final weekend."
After sitting as high as fourth in the Big 12 standings earlier in the year, the Jayhawks have fallen to ninth — half a game behind K-State.
The reason for some of the dropoff: the Jayhawks' young pitching staff that has fallen apart during the final stretch of the season. Twelve games into conference play, the pitching staff anchored the Kansas team with an ERA of 3.57. Now, 24 games into conference play, their ERA has increased to 3.95.
The play of the defense behind their pitchers has also led to the jayhawks late-season struggles. Kansas has made 68 fielding errors this season, leading to 52 unearned runs. Its problems pitching and fielding culminated last weekend when they were swept by Oklahoma, giving up 12 unearned runs and 33 total runs in three games.
"I think a lot of it has to do with the wear and tear of it being a long season." Price said.
The four games against the Bulldogs, who bat .250, provide the perfect chance for the pitching staff and defense to recover. Alabama A&M only has one batter with an average over .300.

After Walz throws Friday, sophomore Tanner Poppe will start in the first game of a double header Saturday at 2 p.m. for the Jayhawks, followed by freshman Alex Cox in the 5 p.m. game.
Sunday at 1 p.m. junior Colton Murray will forgo his usual role as closer to start for the Jayhawks. Price said he hopes the start will get Murray's rhythm and confidence back after struggling the last couple of weeks.
With its season coming down to the last week, Kansas must take full advantage of its weekend with Alabama A&M to set itself up for a weekend with K-State, in which a Big 12 tournament bid will be on the line.
Price wants the weekend against the Bulldogs to help correct some of the pitching issues that have plagued the layhawks down the stretch.
"The first thing I'm looking for is quality starts by each guy that goes out there," Price said. "They need to get into the 6th or 7th inning, and give us an opportunity to win, because that has not been the case for two consecutive weeks."

BY ASHLEY MONTGOMERY amontgomery@kansan.com
In just a few days I'll finally walk through the Campanile and down the hill to commencement in Memorial Stadium. I'm not particularly superstitious but I never wanted to anger the mythical Campanile and risk not graduating.
The names of
As 1 approach graduation that curse does not seem so bad.
I refuse to believe that the years you spend in college are the best of your life. But I'm not quite ready to move on either.
I won't miss late nights in Anschutz followed by early morning tests. I won't miss treking across campus in blizzards and rainstorms. I won't miss getting parking tickets or buying textbooks.
For a list of all the seniors going through this bittersweet graduation experience, see page 3.
But I will miss campus in the Spring. I'll miss late night chats with my sorority sisters. I'll miss walking to Massachussets Street. I'll miss the freedom and independence of college life.

/ GRADUATION GUIDE / THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM
Wide range of options available for new graduates
BY CLAIRE MCINERNY
editor@kansan.com
As some seniors are preparing for jobs and planning their lives after school,some students are experiencing a different scenario: the end of college panic.
Four years of classes and one degree later, some students do not know what they want to do post-college, and instead of turning right to the work force find other alternatives.
termatics.
Becca Ingraham, a KU graduate from 2009, decided the right choice for her was to continue her education. She is now a graduate student studying higher education at the University of Iowa. Ingham thinks she wants to teach at the collegiate level, but still wants her options to remain open.
"To be honest, I think I'm still figuring it out," Ingraham said. "As a junior or senior it's scary to think the thing you're majoring in isn't something you'd want to do forever and one of the big things about being in grad school is you can still figure that out."
TEACH FOR AMERICA
A popular road for college graduates is to become the teacher. One opportunity that enables students to make that happen is through Teach for America. Teach For America is a program that allows recent college graduates to teach in public schools in low-income communities. The assignment lasts for two years.
Gina Littlejohn, the campus campaign coordinator for Teach For America, said the program accepts people of all majors, and applicants can teach any grade level.
Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN
Littlejohn said if students are accepted to the Teach For America program, they can teach in cities all over the country.
all over the country.
Teach For America provides its participants the same job experience as any other teacher, including full benefits and a regular salary based on the average pay for teachers in the area. It also gives college students a short-term way to help people and figure out what they want to do after their assignments are over.
a way to prolong having to find a job, but rather look at it as a way to find new opportunities and new ways for students to use their passions. She said a lot of politicians who now work in Congress were in the program and are now fighting for education rights.
"I think it helps a lot of students because we have a lot of connections with a lot of medical school-sand graduate schools," Littlejohn said. "A lot of grad schools offer scholarships just for Teach For America alums."
Littlejohn said Teach For America should not be confused with
PEACE CORPS
Like Teach For America, the Peace Corps is another way for college grads to help people while gaining a unique experience after school.
Shana Haines points to Cote d'Ivoire, where she served for two years in the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps gives graduates time to focus their futures while serving in developing countries.
The Peace Corps is a program run by the government and its purpose is to serve communities in developing countries abroad. Participants serve these communities for two years after a three-month training process.
Wiechman spent his two years in Saint Lucia doing community development. He helped a farmers' cooperative develop a grant proposal to get funding for a composting project from the United Nations and also taught reading and music at a school.
The different services a participant can provide are lessons in English, health services (including health education and immunizations) or different community development programs.
Ben Wiechman, a Peace Corps recruiter at the University, works for the organization now but was also a participant a few years ago. After graduating from Middlebury College in 2009, Wiechman traveled to Fond Saint Jacques, Saint Lucia, in the Caribbean.
Cote d'Ivoire
The Peace Corps was an attractive option for Wiechman because he did not have a clear direction for his future at the end of college. The experience proved to be a positive one for him and helped change his perspective.
"The biggest transition was going from a place that takes things day to day and enjoying life," Wiechman said. "I really learned the importance of having a balance between working toward something but living in the moment."
After returning from Saint Lucia, Wiechman found that his time spent with the Peace Corps helped him focus on a career path and figure out his future. In addition to being a campus recruiter for the Peace Corps, Wiechman also works part time at a hospital and credits this to his Peace Corps experience.
perform.
"All the jobs I've applied for, all the interviews are asking about my Peace Corps experience." Wiechman said. "You can really bring
an application to life talking about Peace Corps."
Wiechman said he found his Peace Corps experience to be invaluable, and that it helped him find the right career path after graduation.
direction," Wiechman said, "So if you are kind of unsure what you want to do it's a great way to get some good experience and be able to explore and not focus yourself so early."

This year the University of Kansas will have its 139th commencement ceremony. Students look forward to the day they get to walk down the hill.
Starting in 1907, the commencement tradition was to walk from Fraser to the old Robinson gymnasium (now Wescoe Hall).
Now,the walk begins at Memorial Drive, crosses through the World

Tassel colors for undergraduates depend on students' majors. The same colors are worn across the nation, as they are standardized in the United States by the American Council on Education.
While some students are skeptical, it is believed across KU campus that students should not to walk under the Campanile until graduation day.

Legend says that if students walk under the Campanile before that day, they will not graduate on time, if ever. Some students, like graduating senior Katie Aucott, don't take the myth too seriously.
"I have gone under the Campanile because I know it won't actually keep me from graduating, but I like the idea because it is a

Graduates should assemble on Memorial Drive at 10 a.m.
The procession will start promptly at 10:30 a.m., followed by an introduction by the herald trumpeters near the Campanile.

I am a freakishly fast walker. I think I get it from my mother who taught me that taking the dog on a walk should not be a leisurely stroll but a power-walking competition. And wearing heels should never be an excuse to slow down my stride (because only I sometimes wear heels, not she).
When I'm on campus, the walking freak is out in full force, whether I'm wearing tennis shoes or flats that give me blisters. Granted, my walking speed may be because I'm running late at times, but this is certainly not always the case. When I have stuff to do, I just like to get from point A to point B, and not waste too much time in between them.
But I sometimes run into obstacles, aka the fast walker's worst enemies: the slow walkers. Usually, I can glide right past them, even if veering into the grass or stepping off the curb are my only options. But sometimes they're in groups, and their strength in numbers looks too intimidating. They own the sidewalk, and all I can do is to try not to walk too awkwardly close behind them.
Perhaps you, too, find these slow-walking power packs annoying. According to a
survey of 50 KU students, 70 percent of them vented that slow walkers were in their top five annoying student behaviors. To learn more about popular pet peeves among students, check out Sarah's story on page 11.
Now, if I'm going to vent about slow walkers, (don't even get me started on students who don't walk on the right side of the sidewalk), it's only fair to admit my own annoying flaws. Every other Tuesday afternoon I go to the quiet zone of Watson Library to write my editor's note. While I attempt to write (and daydream about the idea of Quidditch players flying by the Hogwarts-like windows), I also eat lunch. And usually, my lunch includes chips. Believe me, I'm aware that people (yes, all people, not just me) are noisy chip-eaters, but have you tried Popchips? They are airy and delicious. Regardless, I know my careful chomping disturbs the quiet atmosphere and must be annoying to some students. Sorry for popping.
After I graduate in 10 days, I won't miss the slow walkers blocking my way to class. But I will miss my afternoons in Watson, writing these notes to you all. I feel very fortunate to have provided you a weekly guide for your college lifestyle. I hope I have entertained you as well. Stay curious and enjoy what time you leave here.
Thank you all.

KANSAS IN HEAT // GOODBYE & GOOD LUCK > Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
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 KJHK 90.7m and at kjhk.org
bridges bridges bridges
In my final Jayplay column I'll try to sum up what I've learned while at KU. I've done 175 shows, written more than 60 columns and answered hundreds of questions about sex and relationships. The most common question I got was, "Am I normal because I like or do X?" I was and will always be shocked by the fear that people have of being "abnormal." Everyone has fetishes, preferences and fantasies. The people that have called into my show aren't
just people that are new to relationships or sexually inexperienced. Often they re people thought they had it figured out, but now question themselves.The best I can do with this final column is offer you advice from my years of reading, research and interviews.
If you want to initiate a romantic relationship, then talk to people with confidence, like you've done it a million times before. Don't put too much pressure on one conversation, ditch the cocky smile and make it genuine. Use intrigue, trust and comfort as your tools.
If you want to enhance a relationship then you have to stay active. Make memories with that person by utilizing your time with them wisely. The more memories you share, the deeper your connection will be.
Maintaining a relationship comes from a balance of routine and spontaneity. Passion is the easiest thing to lose in relationships; you have to keep it alive. It's important to celebrate milestones and anniversaries, even the small ones. A couple that celebrates the day of their first date by going back to that location will probably make it.
And finally, sex. I will forever believe that sexual satisfaction is as important as anything for a healthy relationship. Work on your sex life and share your preferences, fetishes and fantasies. Always be willing to improve at sex. For my longtime listeners and readers, practice T.B.S.
In the end, I want to thank everyone for listening and reading over the years. I have enjoyed every column and every show. Even if you didn't agree with me, I hope the discussion helped There are a lot of issues that people don't talk about, so I hope I was able to bring some of them to light. I hope all your sexual fantasies come true...even if they involve me.
All my best,
// MIKE ANDERSON

HOW WE MET // ADAM PFEIFER & ELIZABETH POWELL
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
A surprise blind date kicked off Adam Pfeifer and Elizabeth Powell's relationship when they were just 14. Their mutual friends devised the clever plot because they knew Pfeifer and Powell, both Topeka seniors, had crushes on each other. Pfeifer, who thought he was going to see Starsky and Hutch with his best friend and his girlfriend, had no idea that the outing was actually a date with Powell, or that she was even going to be there. But Powell's friend was nice enough to tell her ahead of time so she could get dressed up.
"I thought Adam was super cute," Powell says. "He was really nervous, but I could tell that he really liked me."
Pfeifer was shocked, but he managed to play it cool and even held Powell's hand at the end of the night. "We exchanged AIM screen names, and the rest is history," Powell says.
After the date, Powell's father saw the young couple holding hands, and she got into a lot of trouble, but she continued to see Pfeifer.
Seven years later, while studying abroad together in Europe, Pfeifer took the romantic

opportunity to propose to Powell in front of the Eiffel Tower, with her father's blessing, of course. She said yes. The couple plans to get married next June after they graduate.
"Studying abroad together was better than I could have ever imagined," Pfeifer says. "I couldn't imagine being anywhere this spectacular without her."
The couple spends time together studying, enjoying wine, going to KU basketball games and volunteering at a children's mental health program.

Q&A // BROOKE FRASER > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
Two years ago, folk-pop musician Brooke Fraser stood on the lawn at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, waiting to see one of her favorite bands, Fleet Foxes. Brooke, a 27-year-old, New-Zealand native, was burnt out and exhausted following a three-year tour for her second album, Albertine (the album debuted at No.1 in New Zealand and reached five times platinum).
As Robin Pecknold, lead singer of Fleet Foxes, sang that Saturday night, his music ignited something inside of Brooke. "It was a moment where I remembered the power of music as a language, a connector," Brooke says. "I remembered that I've been given the gift of speaking a particular dialect of this language and realized I didn't have the option of being resigned to silence, and I didn't want it."
The experience gave way to her third record, Flags (Oct. 2010), which showcases Brooke's writing and music talent with well-crafted narratives and colorful characters. She says the storytelling makes performing songs about her personal experiences more "survivable" compared to the rawness of her previous album.
The award-winning songwriter and musician has been on tour since October, and tomorrow night, May 13, Brooke will perform at the Bottleneck along with the Cary Brothers. She recently talked with Jayplay about growing as an artist, her tour and love for words.

Music as a language: Brooke Fraser, whose second album debuted at number one in her native country. New Zealand, is touring to promote her third album Flags. The award-winning songwriter will play the Bottleneck with Cary Brothers tomorrow night. This is her first time playing in Kansas.
I've read that you traveled the United States solo after the three-year tour for your second album exhausted you. How is your experience this time around?
It's a million times different. I'm in a whole different headspace as a person. I think the material on my new record has brought so much balance to the older stuff and there's a lot more happy material on this album, which has proven to be so much more fun to play. It's always amazing to play new material, too, and see new places. With this run in particular, we're deliberately going to cities in America that I've never been to. We're playing in Kansas for the first time.
Can you tell me more about your solo travels through the U.S. before working on Flags?
Whenever I was in a city for work, I would try to grab a few weeks to go off into the wilderness, and I got to do that twice. First, in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina in the summertime, and then, in the winter, I went to Bodega Bay in California. It was beautiful. I stayed in a house on the cliffs with the waves below crashing up against the rocks. I feel very fortunate that I was able to go and experience parts of America that tourists would probably never reach.
What do you find most rewarding about being a musician?
My favorite part of it is writing. I think being a songwriter is something I'll be able to do for the rest of my life. I just really enjoy the creation of the songs, finding out who they are, the way they want to be and the stories they want to tell.
And I suppose the other aspect of it is when those songs kind of leave your hands and the privacy of your bedroom or studio and begin to reach people's ears for the first time. It's the scariest part, as well, because it's like when your children go to school for the first time and you're hoping they make friends and don't get bullied, but you aren't sure and you can't control it. Of course, it's most rewarding when the songs do connect with people and start to take on lives of their own.
What's been your most enjoyable day off during this tour? Where were you and what did you do?
We haven't really had any time off on this tour because any days off have been drives, but we had a really beautiful drive from Raleigh, N.C., to Charlottesville, Va. That was a part of the world I've never driven through before and it was beautiful, and we watched Jurassic Park along the way.
If you could plan a dinner tonight, what would you eat and whom would you invite?
I would want to eat a delicious salad, some freshly caught fish and a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, maybe from New Zealand. I would want my mom to be there, my friends from Australia and Robin Pecknold from Fleet Foxes.
If you weren't a musician, what would you see yourself doing for a living?
I always thought that I would be a journalist. I always had a love for words and for stories, so definitely something involving writing and creativity.
I know you've done a lot of work with humanitarian and charity organizations so what do you have going on now and what motivates you to do it?
There are a number of them, but nowadays I'm most involved with an organization called Charity Water, and they build clean water projects in developing nations.
Even before I was a full-time artist and I was just playing to a café of 20 people, it's been important to me. Humanitarian issues are something I've always been passionate about and I don't think you need to have millions of dollars or go on world tours to make a difference as a musician. Any platform that you have can help other people, if you so choose it. For me, I try to do that in a number of ways by raising awareness through talking about it, blogging about it, or writing songs about it. It's about using the resources I have and directing them toward something that is purposeful.
It's important to stay true to yourself. I think you'll always regret not pursuing your passions; even if it doesn't work out, you know you at least gave it a go.
What advice do you have for college students who aspire to be musicians?

攀岩区
TO CLIMB MOUNT
KILIMANJARO
By Peter Tosco
As told to Rachel Cheon
Peter, a graduate student, was doing a threemonth internship in South Africa in 2008. He wanted to do something big before leaving, so he booked a seven-day tour to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa at 19,340 feet.
Before the climb, I met my group of 11 — a guide, an assistant guide, tourists Evan and David, and two porters who carried lodging equipment per tourist. The porters walked ahead of the group, leaving only a group of five
people to climb.
The first few days of climbing were relatively easy. The further we climbed, the climate changed from tropical rain forest weather to alpine forest weather. When we reached 15,000 feet, I had to hike back down to camp at 13,000 feet in order to prevent altitude sickness. On day four, I had to climb the Barranco Wall, which is this really imposing wall that just seems like a vertical climb. On day five, I made it to the final camp before the summit. By this point, the landscape seemed like Mars in a way; nothing was growing. We arrived at the final camp at 4 p.m. and were given six hours to rest before hiking up to the summit. We climbed to the summit at night to avoid weather disasters during the day and to come back down while
the sun is up.
It was extremely cold and the surface of the trail had loose pebbles lying around. We were climbing a 70- to 80-degree incline, so there
they couldn't go on, in which case the assistant guides went down with them. I knew I wouldn't give up, but I really had to push myself to keep going. I had the soundtrack to the fourth Rocky

During the climb, our group would stop every 30 minutes or so and have biscuits and warm tea to keep us energized. There was a full moon, providing just enough illumination that I could see around the mountain without needing a flashlight, but I wore it on my head anyway.
At the top, I had such an amazing feeling. It was early morning, so the sun was shining, and I could look down and see other mountain peaks nearby. I was above the clouds and the view was beautiful. I was like, "Holy! I'm on the top of everyone else in this continent!" We stayed there for about a half hour.
Some of the ice had melted during the day, so I kind of skied back down the pebbly path. You can actually climb down in one day, but I paid for seven days and wanted to have the entire experience. On the last day, I came to the base and received a certificate. I had scheduled a safari the next day, but I was physically and mentally tired, so I decided to lounge around and rest in my hotel before returning to South Africa.

Brain
TO HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN
By Lucas Slater
As told to Katie Miller
After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2008, Lucas Slater moved into Jayhawker Towers in Fall 2009 with high hopes of making a fresh start. Only four days later, he was checked into Rainbow Mental Health Facility in Kansas City, Kan., where it took almost two weeks for him to regain mental clarity.
I was wide-eyed and smiling when they carried me out of the Towers on the stretcher. By that point, I was out of my mind in every sense of the word.
It's difficult to look back and try to rationalize my thoughts during that time, because they weren't at all rational. Every idea I had was crazier than the last. The thing about a severe psychotic episode is, there is no rest from the intensity. My mind was constantly working as bizarre thoughts consumed me.
The descent into my full-on break from reality was so gradual, not even my own mother saw it coming. The day I moved in she knew I was acting a bit strange, but thought nothing was wrong because I was so happy and excited about everything. I was in the best mood, talking a million miles an hour and joking around with my new roommates. I guess those were the first signs.
I didn't sleep during those first nights after moving in. With all the excitement, I'd gotten sporadic with taking my meds, and by the third day, the only reality that existed to me was my own convoluted and erratic thoughts. I sat in the stairwell and became convinced I was being watched. I obsessed over nonsense theories I had come up with. I slid my credit cards under peoples' doors. I paced around outside talking to myself. Everything around me seemed false. I lived on the fifth floor and believed all the other floors of my building didn't exist, but had been planted there to trick me into thinking they were real. The whole world was playing a joke on me.
I've no idea how much time lapsed. At some point I'd gone to the front office of the towers and just sort of sat there in a daze. I was told later that I'd given one of my credit cards to the tower's director and that he was probably the one who called the ambulance. I was rearranging my DVD collection for about the
100th time when paramedics came to take me to the hospital. That was when the paranoia set in.
I was suspicious of everyone, even my own dad. My memory is hazy from the sedatives, but the next thing I remember is waking up strapped down to the bed. I was screaming
decode the hospital wristband they gave me as fast as I could in order to get out. My mind still had no perception of time passing, and days ran together clouded by medication and my own irrational mind.
Now it seems funny to me, how I would sit around petrified that my brain was leaking

memories. Other times I would wander into other patients' rooms naked. I methodically ground my teeth and did this thing with my arm where I would twist it in on itself because I thought it would help me get answers more quickly. At the time though, I trusted my warped logic without question. I had no choice.
At some point I was transferred to what I thought was a prison, but was actually a mental health facility in Kansas City. I was so convinced it was a prison I was trying to
Lucidity came back as slowly as it went, but
I first noticed it returning when I began to feel out of place at the mental hospital. Everyone else seemed so much sicker than I did and I just wanted to go home. The last days were an odd mix of euphoria and depression as I struggled with the idea of going back into the real world. I was impatient, tired of waiting, doing everything I could to get through the days.
When I was finally released, I thought I'd been there three days and was shocked to find out it was actually 12. Time had evaded me because the acuteness with which I felt every emotion, every fear, every anxiety overtook me completely, to the point that it became my reality. Being psychotic for that long takes a serious toll on mental stability. I now stay strict with my medications and have a daily routine that I follow to cope with the vulnerability that follows a severe psychotic breakdown.

TO PULL SHRAPNEL
OUT OF YOUR LEG
By Divine Chi As told to Nadia Imafidon
Divine Chi, a pharmacy student, was about 9 years old when he and his cousin came across a junkyard on the way to dump trash. In the gated, secluded community of Yaounde, Cameroon, where he lived, the people carried their trash miles away to a large trash-dumping area where the trash was burned and taken away. Chi stepped on what he thought was a land mine.
We were walking through the forest and came across an area, about a mile from my house, with old rusty cars and old machinery. It was like an abandoned junk yard. My cousin went off to do some exploring, and I saw some shiny metal sticking out of the soil. I decided to mess with it.
I heard a loud explosion. I thought it was a bomb. I was disoriented and tried to go toward my cousin, calling out his name over and over again. But I couldn't hear him respond. That is when I realized I had gone deaf. I started crying, fearing that it was permanent. I thought the explosion blew out my ear drums. All I could hear was ringing. It only lasted about a minute, but it was the longest minute of my life.
I didn't know what was going on. I looked
THAT IS WHEN I REALIZED I HAD GONE DEAF.
down at my leg and saw that it was covered in blood. Five pieces of hot metal were stuck in the skin in a vertical straight line. Each jagged, twisted, solid piece was thick around, like a bullet, and key-length. I tried to brush them away with my hand but they didn't fall off.
Pain was not my primary concern. I had to stop the bleeding.I had seen those hunter movies where whenever someone bled they
I spent the next 15 minutes pulling them out, one at a time. The first two were closer to my knee and not too far deep into the muscle. I yankedthemoutrightaway.Ijustbarelytouched the next one and felt pain instantly.I had to rest a bit after attempting to pull it out.I freaked out when I tried to move the last fragment and saw the metal move underneath my skin.I let out a weird yell as I felt the irregular metal tearing stuff in my leg while I wrestled it free.My leg gushed blood.
I wasn't the only one crying. My cousin didn't know what to do, and tried to assure me that it wasn't that bad. Here we were, two 9 year olds, in this forest that was vacant of any other human beings. But at least I had a leg, he told me.
took a t-shirt and wrapped it around the wound. I tore off my t-shirt and did the same.
We left the trash bags in the junkyard. I was in tears the entire mile-walk back. As I put weight on my foot, my muscles tensed and filled my leg with pain that I had to bear. The white t-shirt around my leg was soaked through and dripping red when we reached a stream. I washed off my leg with the unclean water.
When we returned, my aunt washed my leg with a cloth diaper soaked in alcohol. The bleeding finally stopped, and I saw five prominent holes in my leg. She then filled the open wounds with ground pepper sauce and tied my leg up.
At the time, I thought what had exploded on me was a land mine, but I knew that I would have lost a leg or an arm. Now I think it may have been a gas-filled car part that expanded in the heat of the dry season.
In retrospect that day was awesome. The leg part was pretty bad, but I got special treatment for the rest of the week. I took taxis to and from school instead of walking, and I got my favorite food whenever I wanted it. And I didn't die.

DON'T BE THAT GUY
DOES A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT BLIND STUDENTS TO THEIR POOR BEHAVIOR?
// SARAH CHAMP
You're minding your own business on campus when that girl subjects you to overhearing an explicit account of her wild weekend or her phone fight with mom about how the wild weekend overdrafted her bank account.
You're trying to stay focused in lecture, but that guy in front of you, who always emails the class for the notes he never takes, distracts you by playing Angry Birds on his laptop.
We've all witnessed it, been annoyed and wondered how someone justifies such personal conduct.
In a survey of 50 KU students, respondents listed their top five student-behavior pet peeves, and answers covered everything from slow walkers to a lack of respect for professors; the top one being conversations during class.
Caitlin Wise, Mulvane senior, falls into the majority, saying people talking — especially at normal volume — when a professor's lecturing bothers her most. She says it's common behavior, but because she's often subjected to it while working for KU Info, Wise makes a conscious effort to be respectful.
"There will be times when I'm at my job and people come up to me, on the phone talking
to someone, and ask me a question but won't stop their phone conversation." Wise says. "By having another conversation when someone else is talking to you, it's like putting them on a lower level or saying, 'I don't value you as much as the other person I'm talking to,' and it's not civil."
The way you act determines how both your professors and classmates perceive you and your credibility with them, says Ryan Milner, communication studies graduate teaching assistant at KU. "If you show up late, don't look engaged, you're reading the paper, playing Farmville or are zoned out on your laptop — even if those around you aren't keeping track of how many times you do that — enough times ad up and can create to a more negative perception of you," Milner says.
Like Milner, Bre Alholm, Leawood sophomore, believes your behavior speaks to the quality of your character; if you value an education and give thought to others, it's evident in how you act. Even just knowing your syllabus says a lot. "It shows consideration for [your classmates] because you don't waste their time and tuition dollars asking unnecessary questions," Alholm
says.
That very consideration seems to escape more and more students each semester — not only at KU, but also at universities across the country. Every school and every year differs, but it's a worrying trend, says Elayne Clift, Granite State College humanities professor and author. In her 20 years of teaching, 68-year-old Clift has taught widely and at many levels: community colleges, Ivey League schools, graduate courses and even abroad. She said her students in Thailand had a genuine hunger for an education and saw it as a gateway, which is how American academia was when she was a student. Today, higher education is more "kick the can down the road" as students at U.S. institutions feel entitled to go to college.
She attributes the trend to the information technology revolution. "We're losing the ability to be patient, kind, and responsive, and I think it all has to do with this lull of face-to-face communication," Clift says. "A lot of this emanates from a culture in which we want everything fast and we don't think we have to respond well to people."
Combative and ill-responding students nearly
50 KU students vented about their top five most annoying student behaviors.
93% CONVERSATIONS DURING CLASS
40% ARRIVING LATE TO CLASS
74% THE KNOW-IT-ALL WHO MONOPOLIZES CLASS TIME
53% COMPUTER USE UNRELATED TO CLASS
(perusing Facebook, playing games, etc.)

What annoys you most?
"That person in class (there's always one) who feels the need to interject their thoughts and opinions into everything, all the time, regardless of whether they're intelligent, relevant or wanted."
- Anonymous
"The chatty chick — I know that your spring break in St. Louis was 'OMG SO AWESOME,' but I'm taking notes and I'm afraid I might stab you in the eye if you talk about how much you
hate Jennifer's new boyfriend again."
- Sheila Sadeghi, Marietta, Ga., senior
"When a person sits at a table for four in the underground, and puts his backpack in one chair, his coat on another, and spreads his stuff over the last two spots to prevent somebody from sitting down. Would it kill you to eat lunch with a stranger for fifteen minutes?" -Anonymous
drove Clift to give up teaching. She says that current imbalance of punishment and reward in academia push teachers away or demand they restructure, outlining each and every policy with no wiggle room.
Some professors go that extra mile, answering poor student conduct with longer, stricter standards that leave no gray area. Amy Rossomondo, KU Spanish professor and co-director of the Basic Language Program who oversees 22 courses and multiple GTAs, makes her expectations transparent, codifying them in her syllabi to prevent debate from ever happening. One rule states that any use of an electronic device during class results in a loss of that day's participation points. Rossomondo says these rules exist out of value for her time and the students' educations.
She acknowledges students have different priorities and value some classes more than others, but feels there's something to be said for consistency in academic performance and classroom conduct. "I know people have good days and bad days," Rossomondo says. "But if you've taken the time, come to a university and you're going to be using my time, I'm serious about what I'm doing and I expect you to be, too."
In the classroom, on the sidewalk, in the library and anywhere else in life — even if you're not that guy — a little consideration goes a long way. JP

BEAT THE BAR FATIGUE
NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THE ATMOSPHERE OF A BAR?
HERE ARE A FEW ALTERNATIVES FOR WEEKEND FUN.
Photo illustration by Travis Young
A night on the couch: Going out on the weekends isn't the only thing to do in Lawrence. Renting a movie from Liberty Hall with some friends can be just as much fun without breaking your wallet.
// MICHAEL BEDNAR
BEYOND LAWRENCE
// For some bowling in the midst of the bustling Power & Light District, check out Lucky Strike Lanes, 1370 Grand Blvd.
Perhaps these Lawrence excursions aren't enough for your curious soul, and you need something a little more unexpected. Here are a few fun ideas along the same lines in Kansas City if you feel the need to escape Lawrence's cramped streets.
// For some more obscure, off the beaten path movies, head over to the Tivoli Theatre, 4050 Pennsylvania St.
// In the mood for an outdoorsy adventure, but not the high-maintenance of a camping trip? Try the Kansas City Zoo, 6800 Zoo Dr., to spend your afternoon amidst a variety of the creatures in the animal kingdom.
Perhaps someone in your friend group doggedly refuses to turn 21 less than several months after the rest of you. Perhaps you're running low on money and can't afford to spend $30 on rum and Cokes and cover charge, dancing the night away to the ghosts of Motown at the Taproom like you usually would on a Saturday night. Or perhaps ennui has set in and nothing sounds fun; you've done it all, been to all the best bars, seen all the sights. You're jaded and disaffected when it comes to Lawrence nightlife.
Don't despair. Though KU might be one of the top-ranked party schools in the nation, and though Jayhawks regularly report higher rates of binge drinking than most students at other universities in the United States, an abundance of weekend options beyond jungle juice at a house party, followed by shameful, guilt-ridden trips to fast food establishments at 3 a.m., awaits you.
MOVIE NIGHT
Maybe you're feeling nostalgic for middle school, those days of braces, social faux pas and weekend nights spent brooding alone in your room, thinking about how you have
the worst parents in the world because they wouldn't drive you to the theater to annoy and terrorize moviegoers with your gaggle of 13-year-old friends. Well, you're a big kid now, so gather up your friends and hop in the car for a movie night. But, this time, rather than going to your local megaplex to see yet another simplistic, formulaic Hollywood film, head over to Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. A tiny, cluttered little shop packed with movies — ranging from foreign obscurities to cult classics to cheesy '80s-horror films — Liberty Hall is the perfect antidote to the typical video store filled with blockbusters and questionable selections. As chain video stores shutter their windows, Liberty Hall has remained a strong stalwart of the Lawrence community.
Douglas Redding, manager at Liberty Hall, says oftentimes students come looking for movies assigned to them by professors that they can't find elsewhere, and from there, peoples' interest grows in what the store has to offer. "You want to be taken someplace else than what's expected," Redding says. "People want to explore."
Jordan Potts, Leawood senior, is one such person. She came to Liberty Hall to hunt for a
film assigned in her Spanish class; she knew other video stores in town wouldn't have it. From there, her interest in seeking out obscure or foreign films grew. "I'm almost positive that nobody would go out of their way to rent a movie about the revolution in Argentina," Potts says. "But for me, it's something I'm interested in."
CLINTON LAKE
If it's civilization you're wanting to escape, consider driving out to Clinton Lake. Oliver Hughes, Overland Park senior, goes out there almost every other weekend once winter loosens its icy death grip on Lawrence."You're breathing clean air and listening to the water lap up on the rocks," Hughes says. "It's serene and fulfilling. We always get into good conversation when we're out there."
Whether it's hiking, camping, picnicking or even canoeing, the grounds of Clinton Lake has a wide array of outdoorsy experiences awaiting you. Don't own any tents, canoes or sleeping bags? No problem. The KU recreation center's Outdoor Pursuits Equipment Checkout Area lets students rent out camping equipment by the day, week or weekend. Tara Daugherty, San Antonio, Texas, junior, an employee at the
checkout area, says on nice weekends almost all of their equipment is checked out. "I think life today is so busy and we're so far removed from nature," Daugherty says. "I think it's nice to get out."
If you're not into the idea of cult films and spending time with Mother Nature, how about some bowling? Although bowling was much more prominent in the 1970s and 1980s, Burton Gepford, manager of Jaybowl, says, some of its previous glory is being restored. "The technology has improved so it's become more competitive," Gepford says.
BOWLING
Never fear, though, bowling amateurs you don't have to be a whiz to enjoy the game especially not if alcohol is involved. Rich Edmonds, a customer service rep at Royal Crest Lanes, 953 Iowa St., says droves of college students come in on the alley's dollar nights Monday and Wednesday. Ben Burge, an Overland Park senior, enjoys bowling at Royal Crest Lanes from time to time.
"I will say that I don't get any better after a few drinks, unfortunately," he says. Jp

REVIEW
MOVIE REVIEW // SOMETHING BORROWED
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe." Each line of this traditional poem is supposed to bring the bride good fortune on her wedding night, unless your maid of honor decides to take the groom right from underneath you.
Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) has been best friends with party girl Darcy (Kate Hudson) and Ethan (John Krasinski) since they were kids. After college, Darcy decides to use her drunken charm to get any guy she pleases. Ethan becomes a writer, and well-mannered Rachel goes to law school. Rachel meets Dex (Colin Egglesfield) and falls head over heels in love with him. The two graduate, and while out for a celebratory dinner, they run into Darcy. She steals Dex right from Rachel's clutches.
Fast-forward six years and Dex and Darcy are now engaged. It's Rachel's thirtieth birthday and she is still single. The always faithful, non-party girl decides to let loose.
Rachel's night out gets the best of her. The morning after is a big surprise when she finds a very naked Dex in her bed.Against better judgment from Ethan, Rachel decides to have a secret relationship with Dex all while pretending to be the happy maid of honor.
As an audience, we are supposed to sympatize with Rachel and feel bad for her misfortune of falling in love with her best friend's iance. But, as the movie unfolds, one can't help but feel nothing for her as she digs herself deeper into the hole of lies and distrust. This movie might not be your typical, predictable romantic comedy, but the quick wit of the character Ethan and the drunken escapades of Darcy will definitely bring in the laughs.

HERE COMES THE SUN HOW A SUMMER ABROAD HELPED FREE ONE JAYPLAY WRITER FROM THE DARK CLOUD OF ANXIETY AND SELF-DOUBT
[Image of a person standing near the river with a city skyline in the background]
Contributed photo London calling: Michael Bednar, standing next to the Thames River, learns to branch out and not worry so much about what other people think while studying abroad in London.
Contributed photo
// MICHAEL BEDNAR
My friends and I made our way down the sidewalk, past pedestrians walking as quickly as tortoises, obtrusive strollers and people peddling assorted knickknacks. I looked up and saw our final destination looming about a block ahead. The company's initials, a garish red, taunted me. "Enter," it whispered. "I dare you." That old familiar feeling of anxiety washed over me. I could feel beads of sweat crawling out of my forehead, cruelly threatening to build into drops that would become all-too-visible to those with whom I would interact. The corners of my glasses began fogging up.
It was not a shark tunnel at an aquarium; nor was it a children's toy store. No, it was something far more evil; the kind of place I actively avoided unless absolutely necessary, the kind of place I was convinced would be my own personal hell, if I ended up going there. It was a clothing store.
Two weeks before, I had boarded a plane from New York City to London, where I would complete an internship at a music magazine focusing on alternative rock and punk bands. I'd never been to Europe, nor had I been more than 100 miles away from my family for longer than a couple weeks. As I sat in the dingy airport food court, looking at the dark skies blanketing New York City, threatening to burst open any minute, I nibbled on a bagel with lox and thought to myself, "What the hell have I agreed to do?" What if I hated my internship? What if I didn't like anyone that went on the trip with me? What if someone bombed the subway car I was taking to work?
Of course, I loved my internship. I did indeed make friends with my fellow study abroad students and I somehow survived a daily 30-minute commute on the Tube, London's subway system. But living in London changed me in a way that an internship simply couldn't. My life before London constituted strings of "awkward turtle" moments, low self-confidence and entirely too much focus on what other people supposedly thought of me. I refused to go into restaurants alone when
Shopping for clothing, a pretty basic activity for most people, was hell for me. I'd sweat profusely, horrified by what the other hunter-gatherers were thinking about me. I imagined them giving me mocking looks when my back was turned to them, or snickering with their friends if they didn't like what I was trying on.
I dreaded walking to campus, afraid people were laughing at the bounce in my walk, the way I'd get carried away with the music to which I was listening, unknowingly walking in time with the beat, clumsily jerking my way towards Wescoe or Stauffer-Flint. The lowest point, I think, was the day I couldn't bring myself to carry an umbrella on campus during a murderous rainstorm because I was afraid I'd look too "weird" to other people. I wore a
meeting friends. What would the people dining think of me, the loner freak who had the audacity to enter the restaurant without anyone else? I'd put off interviewing sources for stories for my journalism classes until the extreme last minute, not willing to put myself through the torture of talking to someone I'd never met.
hoodie. It was 80 degrees outside, and one of those spring days so humid you felt slimy the second you stepped outside.
I thought about all of this as I stared up at H&M's logo. I entered with my friends, originally planning to stick close to them and then use them as a cover for my humiliation at shopping for myself.
"Hey, why don't I help you guys pick some cute stuff out, and then we can look for me after you're done!" I exclaimed, with a note of hysteria in my voice.
"Uh, you really can go ahead if you want to," my friend Grace said, looking quizzically at me. I decided she was right, and cautiously made my way to the men's section of the store. If I wanted to blend in more with the locals, after all, I'd need some updates to my wardrobe. Although my penchant for buying grandfatherly cardigans en masse served me well in packing a London-appropriate wardrobe, I still wanted to blend in a little more. I tried to ignore the growing quantity of perspiration forming on my forehead, and forced myself to browse
for things I liked. I spotted a tan, waist-length trench coat with large black buttons I'd seen the men of London sporting, and swooped over to pick it up. From there, a red-and-white gingham blazer caught my eye. As I continued browsing and picking up things I wanted to try on, a strange feeling came over me...I felt empowered. I pictured Aretha Franklin wailing "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" in my mind, and I determinedly marched over to the dressing room with my selections. "That wasn't so bad," I thought as I tried on what I'd picked out.
From there, I threw off my shackles of self-doubt. I marched the streets of London, proudly inflating my umbrella whenever it rained. One day, I yanked a book off the shelf in my room and stomped over to a kebab stand, taking a chair facing the street, people-watching alone. I went to a concert by myself, dancing like a wild man and screaming all the words along with the band, not caring what anyone thought of me. I even performed a rousing, out-of-key rendition of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" completely sober in a karaoke bar full of strangers.
Now that I'm back in the States, I see how that trip changed me almost every day. If I'm strutting down Jayhawk Boulevard while listening to Aretha, I don't even think about what people think of my bouncy step. I'm not afraid to approach people on campus for journalism interviews. And I'm no longer afraid to go places by myself. Sometimes, a flicker of anxiety will rear its ugly head, but I just push it away, refusing to succumb to the beast for one more moment of my life.
And then I did something unthinkable. Something I would never have done before my trip. Something that would have made me nauseous even to consider.
I asked the salesperson folding clothes in the dressing room his opinion on the fit of my jacket. I wanted to know if the proportions were right. I stared at my reflection for a good five minutes before I worked up the courage to do so.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Surviving finals through music, art or caffeine
I love coffee. And the slightest stressor turns my love into an addiction. It gets me through late nights in the newsroom and last-minute cram sessions. It's my security blanket — and probably the cause of the twitch in my left eye.
It may not exactly be healthy but it's comforting. And it's a common resource for college students. It keeps us going from class to work to party.
We accept it as normal, but that doesn't mean it's harmless. Check out Kelsey Cipolla's story on page 12 for more information on caffeinated beverages and other energy boosters.

BY KELSEY CIPOLLA editor@kansan.com
In a perfect world, students could study in the comfort of their own rooms without being distracted. In the real world, doing homework
at home means fighting the urge to hang out with roommates, watch TV or simply go to sleep. If that sounds like a battle homework is destined to lose, consider looking for a new study spot on campus.
"I can't study in my room because I have all my stuff to distract me. I usually get up early and take a bus to campus," said Jeff Kitchel, a sophomore from St. Louis.
He avoids group discussion areas, such as the third
floor of Anschutz Library, and looks for relatively empty floors.

"The fifth floor of Watson is nice because nobody ever wants to go all the way up there, so it's always quiet." Kitchel said.
"I like to study deep, deep into the bowels of Anschutz, in the stacks. You could die down there and nobody would notice. That's how I like to study" Liedtke said.

it even the clicking of a pen can distract her, so she prefers to go to the most private place she can find.
Liedtke and Kitchel might enjoy going to the empty areas of the library to study, but Patricia Noteboom, assistant director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, advises students to take a less isolated approach.
"A good study environment is an environment that is well-lit and free of outside distraction but will also allow students to engage in discussion and practice working with the material," said Noteboo
She said that students spend too much time trying to memorize information when research has shown that practicing and recalling what they've remembered is the best way to learn material. Most campus libraries have group

discussion areas and dry erase boards. Although different people work better in different settings, Noteboom said studying by memorizing, recalling and practicing the information given has been proven to work, regardless of where it is done.
Libraries aren't the only popular places on campus to study. Students flock to the Underground in Wescoe because it's close to classes and provides study essentials like coffee and snacks. But around noon when the Underground gets crowded, Ruth Kuefler, a senior from Lawrence, goes to another nearby study spot if she can't find a seat far enough away from the noise.
"There's a little area in the hall that goes between the Underground and the Wescoe classrooms by the bathrooms that has a computer and a table. It's the only quiet place in Wescoe," Kuefler said.
Kuefler likes that the area is far from the noise but still close to classes.
Lauren Winchester, a senior from Olathe, also prefers to study outside of the libraries. Her location of choice is the Hawk's Nest on the first floor of the Kansas Union. "Milton's has good coffee and not too many people," Winchester said.
Whether it's perfect silence or a decent cup of coffee that keeps you coming back, having a study spot of your own comes in handy. Although where you go to study might not seem like the most important part of acing a test, having a place that helps you focus on what you need to learn makes it that much easier to be successful.

Basket Ball
A game of basketball is played by two teams, each consisting of ten players. The objective is to score points by passing the ball through the hoop and into the opponent's basket.
Basketball is a popular sport in many countries. It is often played in parks or sports facilities. The game requires good shooting skills, quick reflexes, and teamwork.
Basketball games are divided into several categories, including:
1. **Freshmen** - Beginning players who have just signed up for college.
2. **Sophomores** - Players in their freshman year.
3. **Junior** - Players in their sophomore year.
4. **Senior** - Players in their senior year.
Each category has its own rules and regulations, but the main difference between them is the level of competition. Freshmen play against sophomores, junior players play against sophomores, and senior players play against sophomores.
Basketball is a sport that combines athleticism, strategy, and teamwork. It is also known as "Game Day" because it is played on a court with hardwood floors. The weather conditions can affect the game, so players need to be prepared.
Basketball is a sport that is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. It is a great way to exercise and stay healthy.

MUSIC
Music, muscle relaxation relieve tension and stress
BY CAROLINE ATKINSON
editor@kansan.com
With summer close and final exams even closer, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed is a natural reaction to the heavy workload. According to stress.org, everyone defines stress differently, but it "involves a non-specific response of the body to any demand for change." To help prevent stress from taking the focus off of school work, here are some tips that can help you stay calm.
Music therapy, the use of music in interventions that alter outcomes that are nonmusical, is one way to reduce stress. Alicia Clair, professor of music therapy and division director for music education and therapy, said that listening to music can trigger happy emotions and develop change or mental rehabilitation.
"If a student listens to a certain kind of music when they feel really happy and positive about life, then they listen to that music when they become distracted, concerned or stressed, then that music might trigger some reactions that are similar to the ones they have when they are not stressed." Clair said.
one said that stress is a problem when it becomes so overwhelming that it starts to disturb function, such as not being able to focus while studying.
"Stress is a problem when it becomes distracting from good functions," said Clair. "If we can bring back familiar music and bring back that sense of calm that's a good thing."
Clair said that it does not matter what type of music you listen to, but it depends on your preference and familiarity with the music. However, she said that music can also be a distraction to some people.
Sans music, Clair said that stress management techniques, such as taking deep breaths and relaxing your muscles, help control the impulse to panic.
If swooning to tunes is not down your alley, art is also a therapeutic way to de-stress. According to the American Art Therapy Association, creating art helps people cope with stress and enhance cognitive abilities.
Chelsea Milton, St. Louis freshman, listens to music while waiting for the bus last year. Milton has a pair of Pliq headphones by Sony, and she uses them whenever she is on campus, or traveling to visit family.
Kendall Adams, a freshman from Houston, is already feeling the stress of her final exams.
According to ezinarticles.com, coloring connects us to our childhood when we were not burdened by responsibility and expectation and helps calm us through repetitive hand motions and bright colors.
"It stresses me out having all my exams back to back. It's doubling having so many tests in a row."
According to the Office of the University Registrar, however, students have the option to take only two finals each day, so professors must be flexible to reschedule if needed.

Finals week for those without finals
While most students will be spending this week cramming and caffeinating, I will be doing the opposite — relaxing. This semester, I am one of the lucky ew, the fortunate group of students who have not a single final exam.
Instead, I will be taking a much-needed week off before my full-time internship, which starts the day after I graduate. If you find yourself in my same position (or if you simply choose not to study for your finals), here is a suggested itinerary for getting a headstart to your summer.
MONDAY
PETER TURNER
Explore your city. It's easy to get wrapped up in your life at the University. But there's ots more to Lawrence than the clipped lawns and carefully-cared for flowers of Jayhawk Boulevard.
Take a walk past Sixth and Massachusetts streets and cross the bridge over the Kansas River. You'll have to brave the wind, but the gravel walking path on the other side is worth messing up your hair.

joints, stroll downtown and stop by the antique stores you've never visited. Grab a crepe at A.B.'s Coffee and Crepes near Ninth and Massachusetts streets and watch passby from the outside tables. Once you've gotten your sustenance, stroll past New Hampshire into East Lawrence.
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
Whether you're a veteran of the Student Recreation Fitness Center or merely a novice. you should take advantage of the KU Fit classes offered for free all week. Calm down with relaxation yoga or step it up with Zumba.
See a game. Even though they don't have the best record in major league baseball, the Royals still offer plenty of fun and entertainment. Every Wednesday of the month is student night, which means you can purchase a $7 ticket with your student ID.
Grab your friends, pack your car and head to Kauffman Stadium. Go early to make the most of your $10 parking fee by tailgating. Bringing your own food and drinks will save you money once you're in the stadium.
THURSDAY
Get artsy. The Spencer Museum of Art is a great place to get away from the pre-summer weather. Even if you're not an art person — like me — you'll find something that interests you at the Spencer. My personal favorite is the tapestry by Wenda Gu made of human hair. I like to play a game I call "Name that art." Bring a friend and take turns guessing the name of paintings, sculptures and drawings. Your guesses can range from inane to profound, though I must admit, mine are usually limited to the inane.
If you've already seen all there is to see at the Spencer, venture to Kansas City to visit the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art or the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, which both have free admission.
FRIDAY
Soak up some sunshine. Before the weather gets too hot, now is the time to get your fill of outdoor activities. Take a ride to nearby Clinton Lake for some grilling or camping. You can rent equipment like tents, sleeping bags and stoves from the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
If you're aquatically inclined, rent a canoe or kayak instead and take advantage of smooth waves of Clinton Lake. If you prefer land pursuits, try your hand at Frisbee golf at Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road. You can always choose to keep it simple by tossing the Frisbee back and forth.

No matter how you choose to spend your finals-free finals week, enjoy it. You've worked hard this semester and deserve that extra week of summer.

his appearance is deceiving.
"I feel like crap, jittery," said Simpson, a senior from Olathe. "But I'd say after 10 or 11 o'clock you just refresh and are ready to go again until that night."
His all-nighters are governed by a few simple rules. "I try to never work for more than an hour straight, then I take a break and do something different for a while. Drink sitebut eat food, too, or you'll crash. Don't site on comfy couches, don't watch TV. And you can't think that you're going to wake up at five and finish something, because it's not going to happen," he said.
As finals week approaches, more students will be trying to stay up late, taking advantage of precious study and homework time. While some may go the traditional coffee and energy drink route, others have developed more creative methods of staying awake.

pages. "I broke the coffee machine towards the end," said Zoubine, who estimates that he drank at least eight pots during the weekend. With a little tape and ingenuity, he managed to resurrect the coffee pot and get an A on his big paper.
But his success didn't come easily, "I think I only slept an hour, and I had three alarms set to make sure I would wake up from that one nap" Zoubine said.

Choosing to drink coffee rather than an energy drink was probably a good decision. "There is some research that has found that coffee contains antioxidants that are heart protective, whereas energy drinks only contain caffeine, sugar and herbs, none of which are health protective," said Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services at Watkins Memorial Health Center.

The idea of a study snack doesn't appeal to Alex, a sophomore who occasionally uses Adderall, a prescription drug used to treat ADHD, to help improve study sessions.

WHAT TO DO
When unexpected circumstances happen during the week of finals
BY VICTORIA PITCHER editor@kansan.com
Students may have prepared for finals to the best of their ability, but there are some situations that are just out of their control.
"Things happen to students," said Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center.
Though students may not be able to control everything, they should be aware of what their options are when the unexpected happens. Rasnak offered her advice for handling situations that may happen during finals:
MISSING FINALS
For students who miss a final because of an unplanned incident oversleeping or a broken-down car their fate is for their instructor to decide, Rasnak said. She said if something happened within the student's control, professors were not required to schedule a make-up exam. She advised students to notify their instructor as quickly as possible after an unplanned incident occurs. Instructors may consider in their decision the student's academic standing and the nature of the exam.
Carl Peterson, a freshman from Lawrence, experienced such a situation last semester. He confused the day of his final and missed it. After emailing his teacher about what happened, he scheduled an appointment.
"We talked real quick one-on-one and I took it at a 10 percent penalty," Peterson said.
RECHEDULING FINALS
Students can find specific guidelines for rescheduling a test on the Registrar Office's website at www.registrar.ku.edu/exams. If a student has three or more finals on the same day, he or she is not obligated to take more than two on that day. Students must contact the professor from the highest numbered course two weeks before Stop Day to schedule a make-up exam.
CIRCUMSTANCES
If a student has two finals at conflicting times, the final that is a "common" final, such as Humanities and Western Civilization, must be moved. The Registrar Office schedules finals in such a way to minimize the likelihood of that from happenening.
"If a student has some extraordinary circumstance, the best advice is for them to contact my office," Rasnak said.
Students might be able to schedule a make-up exam or take an incomplete. An incomplete is not considered a failing grade if the student completes course work in a timely manner. This also applies to students who are involved in an accident in which they are severely hurt or hospitalized.
"There is no one-size-fits-all situation," Rasnak said. "It is up to each individual student and each individual faculty member to decide what is going to be the most appropriate course of action."
The AAC is located on the first floor of Strong Hall. More information about its services is available at www.achievement.ku.edu.
